I Can

Graduated from MORCASS with a soul stuck up in one class
Good life lessons bewildering, mehn that subject had held me back
During the Eucharistic rites my backside was glued to my seat
By lustful desire and lies, I was breathing in sin
If one treads in darkness, He is bound to go astray
A city with vain worldly pleasures, like sex, money and fame
Which never last forever, like the kingdom of the father
A garden with fruit eternal, Jesus Christ is the way
Temptation is the battalion, I’m still battling with
My soul’s the only target to which their Javelin hit
God blessed me with noble allies, I began travelling with
Old ways we’re cancelling it, we preach, we’re practicing it
The gospel and Christ body became breakfast every morning
My days that seemed the darkest, began to get bright and sunny
When Satan struck his matchete, my shield of faith destroyed it
Is righteousness ever perfect on this long salvation journey?


I can be the greatest rapper that ever lived
Trying to inspire millions of people to live fulfilled
Indulge my passion in the blue blood my biro spills
The inexplicable, I’m capable, Christ strengthens me
I am a branch of the true vine, my berry’s very nutritious
Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, for Christ I will carry that cross
I possess kindness and faithfulness
Possess goodness and gentleness
Possess self-control, firm to the trunk of life
I’m victorious, its glorious
I’ve been redeemed by Christ Jesus
I’m wise, righteous and sanctified
Baptized, forgiven, purified
By his blood
I am a Child of God
Predestined to reap reward
I am free and steady
I am the light of the world
I am unashamed and ready
I am a new creation
More than a conqueror
Mighty in his power
Strong, fearless, secure
Made in the likeness of God
