When trouble runs me down and rumbles fill my life
When problems become sand and disappointment turn to water
So that I can hardly walk or drink,
When it seems like my efforts are
Useless and mu abilities are in doubt,
I will fly neither to the moon nor to the stars
But move up higher into the region
Of faith in the pain I shall find fame,
And in the disappointment,
I shall find appointments
For I have a wonderful God that shall
Make all things well for me…

When faces make me cry and situations make me mad,
When my plight envelops my flight ad my hopes are out of sight,
I will not run to the east or to the west
But move away from the crest of sadness
And go closer to the fruit of patience
In the stress, I shall find peace
And in the storm, I shall find calm,
For I have a good God that will make all things to be well.

What a mighty God we serve,
What a great king we have,
What a bounty gift He gave,
The gift of His only son,
To die for a fallen race,
Seeking that which was lost,
for the benefit of the lost,
It was an exchange!
A life for a life…
Right on a tree
His son wriggled in pain
Taking my place,
Soothing my pain,
Erasing my sins,
Calling my name,
Jesus, my saviour, my joy, my hope…
Right now, the decision is up to me,
Accepting His sacrifice of love or
Seeking my own futile ways…

I am the gatekeeper
It is my job, my duty and my office
I stand from dawn to the rise of the stars,
Like Nehemiah, I’ll build this edifice
I’m going to sharpen my vision with consecration.
My voice, loud with prayer in the prayer foyer
My job is to be in charge
Occupy till I come is the charge.
The lives and destinies of men are under my watch
I’ll stay upon my watch; to pray and watch
Always standing tall on mu kneels
Interceding, crying and pleading for God’s mercy n’ protection
I have to the solution door, the keys
Like Ezekiel, I am the minister of protection
I will in form of an on-coming danger,
A good shepherd and a true ranger
I refuse to faint, praying always
Praying always, men ought to do and not the former
With all supplication and thanksgiving to God
I’ll morn, fast until Zion, triumphs in the lord.
Are You A Gate Keeper?

At first I didn’t understand you
It all looked like another lie
How can you tell me you were in love with me?
Yet all I see is all you never promised
Oh now you would say its my fault
Or maybe I didn’t do the right thing
But its all your fault; because you have all the money
You have all the power and I’m weak;
All the houses yet I live on the streets
What is there to enjoy in this relationship anyway
But now I know better; and best is so far
Finally I said yes to your proposal
Now I feel like a king
I give myself away!!!
Your protection, is over protective
Faithful in my unfaithfulness, merciful and longsuffering
You filled my insides with yourself
Now I’ll deliver as you have always wanted
But you’re so patient, that I’d learn
I stray and you stay, preserve and protect, bless and use
I blame you, you never blamed me
You warned me not to go that way but still I did
Now I see ills and pour the hates on you and I now return again
What would you have me do? You three in one
Trinity in divinity
