Mystery of Grace

My breath is not my own
I do not even know how my hair is grown
I eat and it digests itself
There's something in man that's a mystery to himself
God formed man from dust and breathed life
Without struggle, effortless without strife
In the human body is productivity
Unrivalled, unequalled efficiency
The ability for the body to function without instruction
It is the same grace God gives to bless HIS own without permission
Therefore in attracting grace, I must be in HIS body
To align my thoughts and actions to be worthy
To seek and know the purpose for which I was created
To be a vessel and let the name of Jesus be exalted

Dear Holy Spirit

Dear Holy Spirit
I feel you even as I sit
My teacher, my partner, my advisor
When I am confused, you are my instructor
Many times; you take over my prayers
Presenting my thanksgiving in tongues that gladden the father
You are profound, you are faithful
Your voice, soft, soothing, tells me the future is bountiful
You feel my heart with peace when the world is in disarray
You keep me on the right path; you won’t let me go astray
I cherish your company, my mentor, God’s wisdom
You have brought me out of filth to God’s kingdom
To a place where my life gets better by the day and my tomorrow is better than my today
You are awesome, you are beautiful, I am lost for words to say

SAVE ME

Save me from me
From pride when I am wealthy

Save me from my foolishness
From thinking that I can do anything by myself, when in fact I am powerless

Save me from greed and lust
From satisfying my flesh without counting the cost

Save me from religion
To think that routine attracts your presence in my opinion

Save me from selfishness
To always know that everything I have is yours and protect me from covetousness

Save me from slothfulness and mediocrity
From thinking that I have reached my peak and destiny

Save me from men
From ascribing your glory to me, a mere mortal, dust, not more useful than a pen

Save me from me, save me from flesh, save me!

THROUGH IT ALL

Through lack and pain
Through struggles and hustles without gain
Through the moments I pray and I don’t get answers
Through the moments poverty eats deep like cancer
Through the moment the future looks bleak
Through the moments I cry and am so weak
Through the moment people wonder where my God is
Through the moment the enemy is writing his victorious thesis
Then, I will open my mouth and praise my God
I will praise HIM for breath; I will praise HIM for blood
I will praise HIM for sanity; I will praise HIM for sight
I will let the high praise of God be in my mouth, out of the lack, I will pay my tithe
For my Father will never leave me alone
HE will give me harvest for that which I have sown
So I praise my God in anticipation
Knowing that HE will exceed my expectation
The setback is like that of an arrow
It don’t matter where my mates are, they won’t be my mates tomorrow
The Trinity has settled it
So I let the high praise of God be in my mouth and I receive it

ANYTIME

Anytime I feel the sand under my feet
Anytime I look up and feel the sun’s heat
Then I know that God will be ever faithful and loving
And I know HE will never leave me waiting
You can’t tell me the wind won’t blow
Neither can you tell me my hair won’t grow
Because it’s not in your hands and you have no idea
Therefore you can’t say anything about my life, the present don’t matter
God swore by himself that HE has blessed me
HE came down to my level and swore by creation and trinity
That HE would bless and multiply my effort
That HE would cushion me on all sides with comfort
It don’t matter what the doctor, the landlord or the bankers are saying
God’s word is what I believe, you can’t break my spirit; you will always see me smili

DESTINY

Out of the blue
The answer to a prayer I deemed simple
Like God had been waiting for me to mention the words
There she had been all along, waiting for us to form that 3 fold cord
Two live wires, passionate, restless and then the Holy Spirit made the connection
Its electrifying, all of a sudden, life is full of purpose, I can’t deny the attraction
She searches deep inside of me and brings out the truth
She speaks to the king in me and I bring forth fruit
All other relationship needed to fail for this one to come
I couldn’t ask for a better helper, in spirit and form
He who finds a wife finds a good thing
And since God brought this woman, I have come to appreciate what unconditional love means
Now I know of a fact God has huge plans for me
For she is my sign and my gift from God for all to see

RUN

I run to face those problems
It don’t matter, what I have got in my hands as long as I carry Christ’s emblem
No mountain is too high, no goliath too big
The word of God is more powerful, my faith will lay the siege
When problems arise, I thank my God
Its just indication that its time for my next level, so I strengthen the 3 fold cord
The harder the situation, the more excited I get
Because I am sure, my God is about to do something that will make the world fret
So I fall on my knees and I thank God for showing me off
Because my father will never leave me on an uncertain turf
So when difficulties arise, I get ready to run
For I am gliding to my next level, the battle has already been won

TIRED

Am tired of seeing that yahoo boy have more money
Am tired of seeing money that could spread the gospel end up in folly
Something has got to happen
The windows of heaven has to open
My life has got to be different
My success has got to be apparent
My wealth has got to be mysterious
People have got to look at the quality of my life and be curious
It has got to be obvious that there is another economy
I have got to create the avenue for God to show me off
It has to be obvious that God is my father and we are made of the same stuff
The time is now, I am hungry, I am passionate, I am eager
I have created space in my bank accounts, the world is about to see a wonder
Its coming and its here, the clouds are full, the rain is about to start
Watch out for me, I am one of those God has set apart
The Glory of God is about to descend like never before
I am a willing vessel, Lord, let your spirit pour

IF

If hustling was the solution I would be bathing in money
If good ideas were the answer, I would be a celebrity
The world is not fair; the hardworking cannot sustain their wealth
While those that do are failures in marriage or health
We sleep and breathe yet all we choose to believe is a scientific explanation
The leaves remain green and the sun shines yet, we don’t acknowledge the God of creation
 There is a connection for sustenance
 A disconnected bulb will lose its bright countenance

We were created for the Glory of God
Anything that doesn’t live with this purpose will soon be out of blood

Stop trying to face life with your strength and understanding, you cannot win
Humble yourself before your Creator and confess your sin

 Man is a mystery; nobody can explain how clay came to life
How a rib became a woman and a wife
Stop figuring it out, ask your Father in heaven
HE will answer; HE has plans for you that's why you are still living
There is a place you were born to dominate
A place where you have no equal, where your genius cannot depreciate
God has the answers, come closer, HE will draw nearer
Seek HIM, HE will make your paths clearer

THE GREAT MAN

In your dreams, you are a billionaire
Courted by the rich, powerful and the media
Gucci shoes, Louis Vuitton suitcases, you even have your own jet

Snap back to reality, you are so broke you can’t even afford the subscription for your blackberry set

But deep down you know this is not where you are meant to be

Deep down, you can feel a great man inside struggling to break free
And he tugs and pulls and screams “let me out”
But you don’t know how, so you can’t shout
So you cry on your bed and your hand hits a soft leather under your pillow
 You look and it’s your bible, you are about to drop it but the great man inside says you shouldn’t let go

And then you start reading and the great man starts talking and He gives you an idea

It’s not easy at first but He keeps on encouraging you, He is like petrol to your fire

And then you wake up one day and you stare at your shoes and they are actually Gucci
You look around and you are actually courted by the rich and powerful in the city
You are travelling and your suitcases are actually Louis Vuitton
Then as you fly in your private jet, you seek the great man to say a word of appreciation
And you can’t tell the difference, you and the great man have become one

DESSERT

God took my life from a desert to a dessert
My father, my Lord, I am nothing but a script with a heart
I am a part in God’s blockbuster movie
Like another layer in an onion for Him who is worthy
Before purpose, life was painful, meaningless like a scattered puzzle
Then He shone His light and He gave me double for my trouble
Now I walk by and people stare
And those enemies that tormented me now cower in fear
For my Father is the Almighty, my foot dare not hit a stone
He knows all my needs; I don’t even need to phone
Now I am blessed beyond my imagination
People come around, seeking for an explanation
I just smile and I raise my hands to the heavens
To my Father who has blessed me before He rested on the seventh
He has provided for my every whim
Even the hair on my head is important to Him
I will forever be my Father’s son
And the heathen will never understand why I shine like the sun
