I may not understand the bible you see
Yes it may seem so difficult to me
With all the thou(s) and thee(s) KJV please
The message seems to elude me
But this one thing I’ve come to see
That on a day such as this
A man died for my sins
Though not guilty he died still
He shed his blood to make me clean
Yes I know that and believe

I may not get why He died on the cross
Why He would give His life and His all
To love man that had Him slandered and slain
I don’t get why He would leave His highly exalted throne
To attend unto a generation of sinners than saints
I know I could never bear such rejection
Nor could I take as much pain
I would never figure out the extent of His sacrifice
But this one thing I’m sure I know
It’s that one big sacrifice that made me whole

I may not figure out the words
Or the depths of mysteries it holds
I may not memorize every chapter whole
But this one thing I’ve come to know
There is one Holy and True
The MOST HIGH GOD so faithful
Who unconditionally cares and loves
Ever renewing mercy he shows
And mending grace he bestows
On children to whom He’s Savior and Lord

I know they don’t really get it
The reason why I strongly believe
In a story so old in a blood they don’t see
You see, the truth is this
I don’t really expect them to
Cos I never got it too
Till I met at a point in my life
The man that changed my story line
He in fact was HE who died for loves sake
And now stands the only way, truth and life

Okay you might wonder like I’d always do
What then can end this whole matter?
Simple! Fear God, do all that He says
That’s the conclusion of the whole matter
Well you may think it can’t be
It can’t be that easy, as plain as you say
But the truth remains
The Lord knoweth them that are His
Let everyone who is called after Him
Depart from iniquity

-Ezeonyeka Godswill

BRING it BACK

Silence surged through a hollow of noise and descended the room
Yet dropping a tune of something odd, spelling a doom
There!!! or could it be a dream ?
I saw a spirit glide past letting open a running tap of fears
A presence I did feel but couldn’t see left my lungs expanding in sears
Oh! for when sleep had fallen on men
My bed became a rack of tortures and to slumber i dread
But wait! I heard a sound ,a cracking noise
No!! I cried to appease the weakened walls of the room from tearing apart
Eyes shut not to behold my deepest fears
Down it came tumbling in a heap of sorrow

“THE WALLS”

And my home laid desolate like a forsaken city,peace of mind departs

“My life in shambles”

My tears flowed a bucket yet unshed
As I wandered in an archive of despair
Groaning in a shattered shelter beyond repair
Then to my hearings, the words were brought stealthily

“BRING IT BACK”!

What?! I froze in alarm, a voice but no one ; staring yet bleak,gazing still dim
Then I caught the sight of something so tormenting
It was an eye,a pair of misty eyes peering accusingly into my soul
Clothes ripped open in anguish, I began to cry
For something unknown whips me
Commotion and terror entwines and again it came, the words “bring it back”
Confusion multiplied
Wrapped in a garment of distress, I retorted –I have nothing of yours
But gracious me!
In drops, I watched it fall, tears forming a river
Water and blood gushing out in a downpour
The basis of my salvation
And I heard groans of pains from the stripes
My heart stopped cold for I realized a man was in there
Standing transfixed ,reality hugging me so tight, could it be him?
It was indeed him
Taking a quick glance at myself, I realized I was clothed in dirt!
Covered in the mud of sin
…and shame clouded my vision; in that confused tie
I laid down wishing to die
When he called softly in the stillness of the night
My daughter!
But wait did he just call me daughter?
Oh I cried out in dismay “here i am master!”
In a sorrow laden voice he asked “Does the salvation hurt rather than give joy?
Couldn’t you for me suffer a little still”

“Rabbi!” I called, “Death I do deserve”
With a seraphic smile, He stared down with love radiating in his eyes
A healing balm to my soul
“Bring it back ,your life!”
Just before I could ask why he still cared
He said “BECAUSE I LOVE YOU STILL”

GOD’S MERCIES

She has always been

When my life is nothing left but feign

I think of all that remains

I realized that nothing is retained

Searched for a better life

Even though my throat is stashed by the knife

I know that victory is achieved in her

Perhaps!,

I may not have understood before now

But the light has opened my eyes to see now

That no better life can be lived outside her

She that surpasses all things

She that sustains beyond understanding

She is God’s Mercies

END NOTE: Thank you Jesus for all your mercies shown to me
Even though am undeserving of it, you still find me
Worthy to be blessed and beautified by your mercies
I love you Jesus
