Funom Makama Poet Lyric

Notes About The Poem

 

No Rivalry

Chorus X 2
To stay rebellious or nihilistic
to embrace the devil and face his pierce
run from the tempting warmth and drop the flask
God’ll surely forgive and wipe off the film
because He stands greater, it’s no rivalry.

1. I want to run two abreast with you lord
staying well protected behind your sword
work naturally beyond rehearsal
staying in your presence makes me wiser
on loyalty’s lane, be it thick or thin
I stay on course to grip the anointing
as my life shines the emblem of heaven
on it, His faithfulness has been proven
to the beast, making it unbearable
His consistent fall, getting notable.

Chorus
To stay rebellious or nihilistic
to embrace the devil and face his pierce
run from the tempting warmth and drop the flask
God’ll surely forgive and wipe off the film
because He stands greater, it’s no rivalry.

2. Avoiding the lorgnette to see evil
the grain must be kept away from weevil
still not far from its cruel passive smoking
He means strict business and never joking
the stainless steel wok is presentable
such a fake gift from hell is laughable
but drags the soul to the unseen lava
painting white on a deceitful giver.
Jesus then redirects me to His lodge
to meet all my needs and calm every urge.

Chorus
To stay rebellious or nihilistic
to embrace the devil and face his pierce
run from the tempting warmth and drop the flask
God’ll surely forgive and wipe off the film
because He stands greater, it’s no rivalry.

3. Great pleasures and gifts so cool but snow bound
his bent promises just go round and round
watering the grass for scorpions to merry
he gives you a grape and calls it berry
just one compromise brings devastation
road so tiled to his discomfort station
he puts fire on a beleaguered soul
trapping it in a cold and empty bowl
the Shepherd appears to step change His lamb
His great protection then stays as a clamp.

Chorus X 2
To stay rebellious or nihilistic
to embrace the devil and face his pierce
run from the tempting warmth and drop the flask
God’ll surely forgive and wipe off the film
because He stands greater, it’s no rivalry.
