The Beautiful Mistake
1st Oct 2010

Once lived in the shadows of ignorance
And had no voice of our own
Blinded by the scale of bondage
Humiliated in our land
And deprived of what was duely ours
Subjected to hard labours
With nothing to show for them

Enjoying the knowledge that accompanies association
And the light of the gospel gaining grounds
We began to acquire wisdom
Our bones became stronger
And our minds enlarged
Our heart then understood
And our spirit received life
This was the beginning of a beautiful mistake

Why should we beg for what is ours
And suffer to please another
Who maltreats our wives and children
Said our fathers
Why live in the slum
When we own mansions
And drink from the wells
When we own the fountain

In the mid of the day
The moon overpowered the sun
And the earth torn open
He that was dead came to life
Dressed in grave cloth
Fully armed and prepared
For a fight of victory
Against the lords of nothingness and obscurity

Then emerged heros who put their lives on the line
That their future may live
Though some fell back to darkness
Their blood still cried against their masters
For the redemption of their children
The land stood in their favour
The clouds heard their plea
The wind out ran their predectors
And the sea harden

At the sight of these
The cords of fear gripped the hearts of the pharaohs
And frustration written all over their faces
Than the mighty knew the way down the ladder
And the lawful captive redeemed

This is our story
This is our song
Once a slave
Now a freeman
Thanks to our God
For that Beautiful Mistake
