In solemn reflection,
I searched myself ..
Seeking for a deep reliance,
A comfort zone,
A fearless confidence,
An unending love.. Continue reading

CHANGING TIMES
As I look down memory lane I remember
Like a little shrub at the dawn of sprouting
My admission, left me shouting
Alas there was yet another route to explore
Just behind the great gate of learning before me Continue reading
I’VE KNOWN SIN
Don’t stare at me like that…
Lest the creator lose his wages…
and I become a mirror of my past.
Cast your eyes sternly,
Place your gaze appropriately,
Do I really look like a saint?
Well, I am one today.
But, once I was lost, Continue reading
THANK YOU
I have known the Father’s love for me
God has been good to me
He’s been good.
Through it all, He has been there for me
God loves me
I didnt earn it
I didnt bribe Him for it
He just loves me.
Years roll by,
Situations come up
Giants threaten me…
But, He has always fought for me…
I do get scared at times,
But, He has always comforted me…
Securing family and friends for me…
Providing for me,
Protecting me,
Building me…
Doing it all for me.
If all I can say is ‘Thank you JESUS!’
If all I can say is;’Thank you Lord, God Almighty!’
Then, I better say it well…
Cos’ my God has truly been good to me.

I’M 22 TODAY
On December 14th 1990
Her joy was full, so pure and mighty
The baby kicked into the air with reckless abandon
Crying and sniffing with rhymes in random
What was the reason for such innocent cry?
I can’t really tell but I can try
The doctor said it was the new environment he punctured through
I do not see this explanation to be entirely true
The baby was simply scared of a cruel world
For then his innocent heart had not met the word
Growing up was a world of fun
Sitting, crawling, then walking and begins to run
Lacking any sense of responsibility
but totally trusting in mum’s ability
Often fund of playful dad
That fellow that always made me oblivious of the word “sad”
Straying progressively away from my creator
And enjoying the ride in sin’s elevator
Just towards the yuletide of 2004
I became born again and in the path of destiny I commended my tour
I had to break-out from my dubious gang of six
Oh! Finally, my Saviour gave me a welcome kiss
All my sins and guilt were gone
And pardon from the cross cancelled all I had done
Suddenly the little baby of yesteryears
Grows to search out the meaning of all his fears
And thus to give an explanation for his existence
This quest was crystallized in the Lord’s presence
Until the Lord dissolved it in His infinite wisdom
Now I know why I’m in this glorious kingdom
To the world and all is lust I say a determined goodbye
Until I get to that golden street that money can’t buy
I’m 22 today still under the Lord’s canopy
Only to gaze at my wasted years as an abandoned jalopy
The future is so bright with its energizing blaze
In fact, you would need eye-glasses to take a gaze
Thanks to all the folks that helped shape my life
Especially to those who with love in their hearts employed their knives
To cut-off the folly prevalent in my young heart
Much gratitude to you I give with a cheerful heart
I LOVE YOU ALL

MY DAILY LIFE
Wakes me up with His love
Brushes my mouth with His smile
Bathes me with His blood
Clothes me with His righteousness
Adorns my hair with His beauty
Shod my feet with His peace
Leads me out with His arm of protection
To the path He’s straightened out for me
I appear before men
Just to them, see! It’s all about Jesus
End of day’s work
To the shelter of the abode
Engages me with a chat in His word
Opens my book with His wisdom
Reads to me with understanding
Sets the dinner of His presence before me
That I might eat till filled
Lays me to bed with prayer
Saying: “MINE, sleep in me”…

KEEPING FAITH
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…

FINDING SOLACE
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.
