What Is My Name



What Is My Name?

What is my name?
My name
Is a tag.

What is my name?
My name 
Is what follows me.

What is my name?
My name
Is what I want to be.

What is my name?
My name 
Is what I am.

Your name is your 
Identify.

What is your name?
My name 
Is what am experiencing

His name was changed;
From Abram to  Abraham
From sarai to Sarah
From Jacob to Is Israel
From Jabez to Joy
From Simeon to Peter

What is your name?
My name is Oguodugodo!
Then Oguodogodo! follows you.

If you are called after 
The name of God,
Then God follows you.

If you are called
After the name 
Of an Idle,
Then an Idle 
Follows you.
Like a shadow
Tinting every lighting
Like a hurdle
Its follows you
Blocking every progress
Then in struggles
You fine you.

Its follows you;
Like a tag,
Its hung around 
Your neck.
Like an odour
Its clings to you.

Like a smoke
Its peppers.
Like wind it blows
Though you might
Not see it from
The other realm.

If they call you the  name 
Of hardship,
The sorrow  follows you
Ask Jabez.

If they call you
The name of wants
Then poverty
Follows you.

If they call you the name
Of wealth
Then riches
Follows you.
Ask Father Abraham

What is your name?
My name is  Gideon Idudje O
Then God's strength
And Blessings 
Follows me.
