Robert Katuli Poet Lyric

To Be What My Lord Would Have Me Be

I don’t want to be a king 
I don’t want to be a knight 
I don’t want to be an emperor 
I don’t want to be a prime minister 
I don’t want to be a Supreme Court judge 
I don’t want to be anything 
I just want to be me 
To be only what my Lord would have me be. 

I don’t want to win titles 
I don’t want to amass fortunes 
I don’t want to build castles 
I don’t want to achieve popularity 
I don’t want to travel places 
I don’t want to do anything 
I just want to do His perfect will 
To do only what my Lord would have me do. 

I don’t want to be a lord bishop 
I don’t want to be a major prophet 
I don’t want to be a holy father 
I don’t want to be a senior apostle 
I don’t want to be a mother superior 
I don’t want to be anything 
I just want to be a child of the King 
To be only what my Lord would have me be.

Beata Agustin November 2, 2024 at 5:58 AM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
