Inspiring the world
I Roam the streets
Begging for food
I am lowly
And despised
But I was not always like this
I mingled with the wrong crowd
Who introduced me to poison
To cope with life
And the drugs took over
I am ravaged
I am helpless
I am sick
Please do not despise me
I need help
When you see me
Or another me
Help me
Or say a silent prayer
For me
Or another me
But please don’t despise me
Because I already
Hate what I have become
Lord
Let your beauty
Be upon us
May our garments
Be studded and beautified
With precious stones
May we have heavenly dreams
And visions
As we wait upon you
Great God Jehovah
Let Heaven come upon us
And let great grace overshadow us
You crept into my heart
Like a thief
A lonely woman
Taking care of two children
Committed to Christ
And His gospel
You came in an unfamiliar way
Like a perfect brother,
Best friend and father.
You loved my children
Like your own,
You carried my emotional burdens.
I had lived alone
For ten years
Since the death of my husband .
Gradually, I became drawn to you,
Because you
Took away my loneliness
And became my pillar and support
However,
You were married and
Knew that as a fervent
Believer,
We would never be lovers.
You seemed fine with it
But I had unwittingly fallen
Into your trap.
One cold winter night
You came as usual,
To help with my sick child.
All I wanted to do was say
A quick thank you,
And it happened
We spent the night together
As lovers.
I cried all day
And all week after that,
Because I despised myself
For what I had participated in.
I subsequently blocked you
Out of my life,
And recommitted by life
To Christ and His word.
Thank you my Lord
For giving me strength
To overcome sin.
You are the husband of widows
And father of the fatherless.
I will wait upon you
For your own blessing.
If you bless me with a husband fine,
If you don’t,
I will not bow
To the idol
Of sin.
I walked upon the sea
I never could imagine
That one day
I would walk upon the sea
And live above fear and doubt
I walked upon the sea
When I saw your perfect love
And greatness
I became calm
And rested in you
I walked upon the sea
When the winds and waves
Of trials and affliction
Threatened to drown me
They said to me,
” We will make your life so miserable
That you will wish you were never born
Denounce Jesus
Because we will never let you
Preach the gospel.”
I shrugged and replied
” I don’t care.”
I walked upon the sea
When I was given grace
To fly above trials
And circumstances
And Trust in
Him, my savior
Lord may we
Walk upon the sea
Everyday
In quiet assurance and peace
Knowing that
You will never leave us or forsake us
Give us the strength to focus on
Your love and power
Instead of the sea of circumstances and trials
Yes, may we walk upon the seas
Everyday
Jesus
Praise belongs to you
I will always love you
Keeper of my soul
Healer and Master
Let your great love
Come upon us
Forcefully
He took me
Forcefully
He violated me
With disrespect
Disregard
And cold, cruel contempt
I cried until
I slumped
On the cold concrete
Close to a church
Wanting to die
My breathing, shallow and weak
I prayed,
“Take me Lord
I don’t want to stay here anymore,
In a cold cruel world.”
Then I heard voices
But they sounded like
Angels singing
Or a church worship session
The singing was angelic
“But surely
These are humans,”
My tired mind wondered
My mind reeling and spinning
I lay there
Bleeding and in pain
“I can’t loose my baby.”
My mind shrieked,
“No I can’t loose my baby,”
I suddenly wanted to live
For the sake of my baby
An unfamiliar groan sifted into my mind
“Who is groaning?”
I thought within me
Then I heard voices
This time closer to me
“She alive,” a female voice yelled
A male voice replied,
“Call 911, she will make it in Jesus name.”
“Yes pastor,” the female voice answered
The pastor held me and rocked me like a new born baby
“Jesus loves you, you will be okay,”
One year later
The pastor married me
And my baby is our baby
Hello
Stranger in black,
Why are you so sad?
What happened to take away your smile?
You are young
You are pretty
What happened?
Hello
Stranger in black
I saw you at the Bank
And instantly knew
That you were special
Then I saw you on my street
And realized you just moved in
I see you often
In shops
And in Church
Give me a chance to speak to you
And make you smile again
From your heart
Hello
Stranger in black
Your sadness has frozen men away
And made you solitary
You sometimes smile
But in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Hello
Stranger in black
Your black garment is spiritual
Not physical
You have mourned for too long
Hidden from men
Take off your black garment
And smile once again
Because this man
Speaking wants to
Transform your inner garment
From sorrow to happily married
He wants to make you a special women
If you will let him
The last time I saw you
You could not look at me
You were angry
Traumatized and sad
Because I left you
And broke our vow
The last time I saw you
You had become an addict
To alcohol
You were tired and discouraged
You hated women
The last time I saw you
I wondered if you would ever heal
And I also became sad
Because I hurt you
By leaving
And made you loose
Confidence in love and marriage
But you must remember
That we fought everyday
In front of our children
We were both miserable
And our home became
A battle ground
And a place of mourning
Unhealthy for us
And our children
Everyday I pray
For you
The father of my children
That God will heal your heart
And mine too
Because we both need it
Divorce is painful
Divorce is sad
But sometimes
It just has to happen
When shadows descend
Let glory overpower
Let mercy intervene
Let the light shine
When shadows descend
Let the faithful pray
Let the heavens decree
Deliverance
Never forget that
You were born for a purpose
You are special
You were born to love
Never forget that
Tomorrow will come
And judgement will follow
In your favor
Or against you
Never forget
That a child that insults
His father will
Pay the price
For disobedience
Never forget
That love created the world
And love rules.
Anything not done in love
Will always lead to sorrow
Never forget
