Be Close


Open the door, gently He knocks 
Invite Him in, un-bolt the locks 
God wants you close 
Feel as His mercy flows... 

You are the apple of His eye 
Never will He make you cry, 
All He want is for you to be upright 
And He will make everything alright 

Day and night, pls always pray 
Read some psalms when no to say 
So God can hear you from your heart 
And shew you mercy from His might, 

Think of His love and obey His laws 
And He will open to you all His mercy doors, 
From His glory you will dwell in light 
No more sorrow and a lonely night

I Bleed for Benue

Image
I heard their loud eerie cry from miles away mixed with crushes of bones and it's sultry damp; . My clansmen were tortured, massacred and wasted with their bodies littered at the cathedral turned mortuary; . If only death had strangled them in their dreams we could've cleansed the land with the blood of the lamb; . If only these were caused by the gods we could have appeased Amadioha and Ógun at its sanctuary; . But they were hounds and scavengers that came at the wake of the dawn to the rise of the sun with their hatchets, gun and knives to steal defenseless souls; . Who will heal the wounds of my clan or bury the fiery dog that relish only the fetus of the saintly virgins that offers prayers at the town's cathedral? . Not the rulers or those at the Aso rock can avert this calamity masterminded to cover their woes ... only God can save my foes !
