Boat Talk

Leave a comment

These moments,
These moments of my life,
Christ is in my boat
in the midst of the storm.

Last night,
I woke him up.
We sat at the edge of the boat
and talked a lot.

He said,
“You want me to speak to the storm?
I’ve left it long enough
to let you learn a thing or two;

That first,
the storm wouldn’t consume you.
And no, it wouldn’t hurt you.
That I am your peace
in the midst of it all.”

I said,
“Yes, yes,
though it’s been raging,
there’s a serenity I feel inside.

I know so well
that it’s because you are right here.

I saw your hand
when the boat tipped
a little too close to the ocean.”

“Yeah,
you beckoned,”
he responded.

We sat still
through the chaos.

Laughed
like we owned the waves
and controlled its timing.

Dinner was set,
and I finally said,

“Peace,
peace be still,
Not a morsel of this meal
should be lost to this disturbance.”

He smiled,
picked up the tray
and gave thanks.

Seven times Seven times
But once bitten, twice shy is an understatement
The Holy Spirit whispers, ” Quchi shelf your comment. “
We should have asked “What for? “when He said he’d send a comforter
But we assumed what the comfort meant
Though the level of help exceeds our problems
We assume He said everything we needed learnt
And Lord, I need help before my disdain extends

Seventy times seven times
Jesus is the same, soft or hard times
Just watch and pray,
Mean it every second
Our confidence remains “What did The Lord say? “
Clock it
When your eyes are open, then the blind call you blind
We don’t seek the same Lost, theirs cannot find
Relevant irrelevance, what matters is the inside
And forgiveness isn’t mine but the Lord’s side

Four hundred and ninety
I learned not to take things lightly
Everything is part of a pattern from previously
And Christ is both lens and He calibrates me—He will make me
So though I still err being bad at this “Good” thing
And though I still say, “Lord, how can these things be? “
In Spirit and Truth, I will wait and see
The Lord is my scabbard, blade and peace

Almighty King ✨

Who is like You,
Almighty King?
Maker of Heaven and Earth,
I AM THAT I AM.
You alone are God;
Your Word is truth,
Your love is eternal.
Covenant-keeping God,
There is no King like You.
Thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit,
And through the wisdom of the Scriptures,
My grace and peace multiply.
I have eternal life,
For I delight in You and in my Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Holy Spirit, You have empowered me.
Your name, my Lord Jesus Christ, is my banner.
I am Yours, my Lord.
You are my warrior,
My shield,
My glory,
The lifter of my head,
My greatest reward.
Everything I heard about You is true.
I have tested it in my life and family.
We are now the envy of the world
Because Your presence envelops us.
Receive all the honour,
Praise, and glory.

Jesus Christ is all I have

Leave a comment

I was lost in sin and night,
Till the Lord found me;
From the dark He called me out,
Now I am set free.

No more fear within my heart,
No more shame I see;
For the Lord has taken all,
And has set me free.

When my strength begins to fail,
He is strong in me;
When my heart is full of pain,
He restores my peace.

Not in riches, not in power,
Not in what I see;
Jesus Christ is all I have,
And He’s enough for me.

Christ is all, my everything,
All I need each day;
In the highs and in the lows,
He will lead my way

To the world I will proclaim,
Lift my voice and call:
There is only one true Lord
Christ is all in all.

Want Less Too

Leave a comment

Stillness is wanting less as Christ is more than enough
Stillness is being a mess and yet flying as a stone in God’s catapult
Stillness is Love saying that the very wrong one is still her own
Stillness is the peace that leaves faculties and authorities befuddled

Stillness is the lepers saying come and see
Stillness is Elijah saying bring for me
Stillness is Noah with a 100-year start-up biz
Stillness is Ruth saying where you go you go with me

Still, I will trust in him who is my stillness
Stillness wasn’t found in narcs or man’s promises
Stillness wasn’t found until the Son set free

Stillness is Him dawning both on and in you
Stillness is Isaiah twenty-six verse two too
Stillness is answering mishap with “God is still good”
Stillness is when a Saint, breathing, transforms

Still, I will wait on him in and out the stillness
Stillness wasn’t found in temporary pleasures
Stillness wasn’t found until the Word sent words
Still, my heart wants less as it is yours

Ra Moth Gilead

I spot Peace at 3 O’clock
I obey, they call it luck
Kicks dig in like years of work
Israelite-like spin the block
Israelite not Israeli
Read the other or the G
Tetra-grammar-ton or wind
I think you’ll run into Him
I eye aisles when it’s not my walk-up
Fight like Farts when the fans shut up
Might fly kites if I search Playstore
Kai wallahi God is what I’m Four

I spot Wonder at Ten O’clock
Shoes of Peace so He is my Walk
Choice is His to preen or pluck
If I can pray, I can’t be stuck
Cheeeshhh
When I’m a grandfather
I hope I write a little bolder
Of the Lord Jesus and The Lord Father
The Timeless set the timer
Above Him is none higher
Those that tried still lose if I…

Say the name
Say the name 
Say the name
Say the name
J-E-S-U-S is saving those who will trust in him

Sleep

When Isaiah spoke,
He often sounded like the other iahs.
Painted pictures of God’s different characters, his love the pariah.
God starts with an oasis closes with a tsunami
Therein the opposites that posits an army trained by Moses.

“We learn”
From those we believe to be competent,
They gather us into the last four of the last line
Each opening his own door as a life line
Queues begin to form a long line
Lines forming sects strapped with their own 9s
Death tolls increasing from our own hands
We no longer see the people since we’re blinded by the light,
Saul of Tarsus.
But if to each his own delight then how can each still claim to be preaching Jesus?

Listen.

We’ll know to whom you truly listen.
When the wind blows.
When the wave a hundred and eighty kilometers crashes into your windpipe.
We will learn from how you breathe.

We will see,
If your fleshy bloody organ goes a thumping fast.
Or if you’ll wake with dull eyes that mimicks the weather
Stare into the judging face of the _nayers_
Eyes glinting like Pegasus
Pull your sword apart
Unflinching cos you were  sheathed, and your source never from you depart
Calmly do your part,
“Peace be still”

And go back to sleep.
