Lockdown

What is this coming like the flood of Noah?
A strange wind blowing from the East with all fury
Before it goes fear and panicking,
And behind it comes crying and weeping.
This is definitely beyond science and money,
“Lockdown, enter my ark” Jesus keeps warning
	
What a noisome pandemic is this?
The strongest of men go hiding.
The high and mighty suddenly become helpless in the face of COVID-19.
Hopelessness has led to suicide of many,
But His Spirit keeps speaking to my heart
“Lockdown but not closed heaven”

Where are your idols and star gazers?
Your soothsayers are again in darkness and confusion.
They can’t keep wondering why?
They have failed again like magicians in Pharaoh’s court.
But the One who lives in heaven and rules in the affairs of men says,
“Lockdown until my mission is accomplished”

Your Pain My Gain

It was on a cloudy morning
The sun restrained from bursting forth
The hordes of hell were let loosed
And the battle lines eventually drawn
The lamb that was slain
Before the foundation of the earth appeared
Being led to be slaughtered
Thirty nine cruel lashes was he given
With deep wounds and blood all over Him
A thorn of sin on His head like a crown
All for my gain
There was nothing majestic about Him
Nothing to really attract us to Him
Yet it was this pain that liberated us
From bondage to bondship with Christ
Hell to co- heirs with Christ
It was indeed your pain my gain

A Cry For Vengeance

Whose voice is this?
Crying from the dark abyss
With an agonizing performance with a reprise
To the One who does not judge amiss
Calling for a speedy vengeance
On his brother saying 
“You know the Truth but never told me
Know the Way but refused to show me
Know the Life yet did not point Him to me
Privileged but forgot me
Positioned but refused to help me”
It is the voice of the blood of your brother
Your confessed “LOVED” but now eternally lost brother

Rescued

RESCUED 

Promised to always love you whatever comes my way 

But hatred has overtaken my heart 

Promised to always follow The Way 

But cares of the world distracts my heart 

Promised to always speak of your love to the weary and lost 

But I have seen myself becoming a rebel 

Promised to always be at my duty post 

But I often get carried away by Jezebel 

Promised to always speak of the Truth 

But my sinful member keeps silencing me 

Promised to always hold on to the Faith 

But worldly pleasures sometimes pressure me 

Each dawn of a new day takes me farther away from my Master 

Until Love shows up for my rescue again 

The special love of the Father  

Now I’m free to run and fight again.

His Star

We saw it up in the sky 

On a cloudless and blissful morning 

Shinning like the noonday sun 

Rising gently but graciously 

From the east heading towards the west 

Not like a sun going to set 

But as a king going to conquer and reign 

To Bethlehem, a lonely village in Judea it headed

It's appearance sent fear to the heart of Herod 

He gazed in confusion yet he could not see it 

The chief priests and rabbis were thrown into sleepless nights 

Searching for insight like a lost jewelry 

“But whose star is this?” 

It is HIS (JESUS) STAR 

Come and let’s celebrate the Eternal King

My Burden Bearer

Constantly living with a heavy heart  

Travelling helplessly on earth’s lonely and weary path  

With the memory of my past tearing me apart 

Each morning I wish my world could restart 

And with each night the fear of tomorrow tempts my heart to depart  

This is just beyond me I say as my life seems to fall apart 

In my struggle to head start 

I played like others but not so smart 

I experienced betrayal instead of trust 

Thought I had a friend to lean on not knowing he was a dart 

But then I met a friend before it all fall apart 

 The Saviour with a loving heart 

Who gave my life a meaning and restart 

He took my burden and set me apart 

Yes! He is Jesus.

If Jesus Had Not Risen

If Jesus had not risen
We would have been hopeless sinners
Sentenced to eternal destruction
Condemned and lost forever

If Jesus had not risen
His death on the cross would have been useless
Eternal life wouldn’t have been certain
His mission on earth would have been defeated

Thank God He rose from the dead
It was suffering and agony on Friday
Silence and humiliation on Saturday
But Sunday was glorious as He rose back to life

Make Your Life Count

Our days disappear like mist hit by the morning sun
Like flowers that flourishes in the morning
But dries off before evening
Our years are like a second in his sight 
And each day that passes bring us closer to that day of judgement
When all men shall stand before Him
To give an account of their lives to Him
Of those valuable times wasted
Opportunities and privileges squandered
But who shall dare appear before Him empty-handed?
For we did not leave His presence empty-handed!
We must therefore appear before Him with souls won for Him
Lord, teach us to number our days
That we may apply wisdom!

More Than Just a Man

He first appeared in a manger like a poor man’s kid
Helpless he looked but full of life
But He is more than just a kid
For He is the King of kings manifested in man’s likeness
And He is coming back as the king and judge of the world
All eyes shall see Him and every knee bow to Him

He suffered like a weak man
Died a shameful and agonizing death 
Buried in a rich man’s tomb
But He is more than just a man
For He rose up powerfully on the third day
Ascended into heaven in an awesome glory

Timeless World

I see them in their millions 
Faithful men of all ages in their sparkling raiment
Men of rod and fire among the heavenly saints
Fearless John preparing men for His coming 
Faithful Stephen forgiving while bleeding
Graceful and preaching Paul now resting
They all tell me the city is ready
And the Holy One lovingly tells me again 
Go tell others that all is set
Strengthen the feeble legs,
Remind backsliders of Lot’s wife
And look for the lost ones
