Beyond Prose

Since time immemorial As far as I can remember I had been enslaved By my sinful nature Until my Jesus I met Life has a new meaning No longer surviving But living meaningfully Awaiting the great sight Of Jesus’ second return Jesus set my heart free My burdens lifted at Calvary This hope burning in my heart Hope to be united in Heaven With Jesus forever more Dear brother and sister Jesus is calling you today Repent and believe Be finally free for the kingdom Of heaven is at hand

Hear my cry oh, Dear Lord In my heart, the heavy load Seems to weigh me down Though I chose not to frown Am pushed to the edge Do something about the economy Helplessness, my constant enemy Is constantly putting me down I have nothing to call my own I’ll forever serve you, I pledge Sometimes I feel like crying But instead I start praying I need you, oh Dear Lord Through this narrow road For in you I find the will

It’s all over now The worst has happened You can’t hurt me now My mind’s sharpened Things are better now Since you moved out I have all I need now My life just sprout The message is clear now I don’t have to shout Can you hear me now? Oh dear, don’t pout

Up on the hill With a pure heart Down on his knees He poured his heart To his father in prayer Up on the hill With a heart so pure Love for you and me On a tree he hung, O what manner of love Up on a hill So that we might live His life he gave And paid for my sins Now I live Up on the hill May I never forget While I was yet a sinner He died for me By grace I am saved

Adding up my heartaches by the number; Your cheating is number one. While I was unaware in child-like slumber, Your selfishness is number two. I can go forever naming your nasty ways, Your meanness is number three. I won't stand it for so many more days, Your ignorance is number four. Do I really have to count out every glitch? Your boozing is number five. Finally, it's time when I will just unhitch, Goodbye to you is number six!

Everyone has a fair chance in this life Life does not always have to in strife When others are there for you in distress Remember them when you are blessed Do you go for vacations once in a while? Say in the summer holidays with your wife? Family and children come together for fun Remember them at all times, as shines the sun Holidays are over and you set to meet your goals Let no one say you're a distraction on your roles In everything, honour, diligence and good lifestyle Remember them for they make life worthwhile When you retire, let others learn from a true story Of your life lived so well, full and with all glory Good teachings all through and the inner voices Remember them everyday as you make life choices

There is a good hearted woman Not minding her husband’s snares Guarding her family like a watchman Her source of income is selling wares And she does it tirelessly Her husband comes home drunk Hearing the commotion outside She helps him out of the truck Putting all her needs aside She nurses him effortlessly

I’ve been holding on Times have been hard I almost lost a hand But I’ve got to hold on I lost my sole source of income The father of my child left me As a mother, I had to move on For my child, I’ve been holding on Days have come and gone My son will soon be one I’ve learnt to work with him God has been providing for me

All work and no play Makes Tom a dull boy So the professionals say That’s why I got him a toy An apple a day Keeps the doctor away Try if you may And healthy you will stay Prevention is better than cure That you can be sure Take time to play every day And you will be happy all the way

I feel deeply and greatly disappointed Looking at you is just making me sick What did you think you were doing? Didn’t you think through your actions? A few weeks have passed by since You began this odd and funny character I have even started getting used to it I hope I am not ridiculous like you But I still can’t figure you out The more I try to think about it The more I am getting confused What are you attempting to do?

I am in love I can feel it in my bones Every inch in my body is happy Who knew that I would be one day, Happy like I have never been before? He makes me complete I always want to make him happy When he's mad at me I feel terrible Especially when I have wronged him I never want to make him angry I do what he asks me to without hesitation Look, I hate being told what to do But he is always telling me what to do And I do it without question And I do it happily He is everything I have ever wanted in a Man He makes my world go round and round How could I be without him? He’s all I think of nowadays I think of what we shall be doing together Forever, together him and I Now and always be with him I want to make him happy I am going to make him happy

It is yet another day Feels like yesterday Days pass quickly by You will soon be mine With much anticipation And full concentration Waiting and watching For your soon return Gazing at the clock My smile widens With every tick Tick tock tick tock I know you almost here A life we will share Beautiful it shall be Together, forever we’ll be

My heart is heavy oh dear Lord The walls are closing in on me Nothing seems to be working out Everything is not making sense Oh Lord hear me I pray today Have grace and mercy on me Restore love, hope and peace In my life once again oh Lord Why are my dreams shuttering Right before my eyes one by one Help me Lord, hear my cry I pray Answer me with your tender love I want my life back, every single bit Oh dear Lord, complete my family Give me that job that I so long for Make me whole once again, I pray

Shh...Not so loud There she goes again Funny how she’s bound Do tell her, for her own gain She needs to know she’s at risk Going about her business Oblivious of her state Everything is just craziness Hope it won’t be too late When she realises the risk A slave to the world No time to spare for God She’s all chained down Oh! she’s at risk Of losing her life forever They attacked her Threw her to the ground Robbed her of all possessions With nothing left but bound Her life not sparing
