MY PRAYER

Father! Give me the knowledge and power

To grow higher; I need you fire which is resistant to any quencher

Come sunshine or rainwater, I will not bother because I stand tall like a great pillar

I have been experienced; just because you took me deeper, to become the best teacher

Oh Father!

Going in, I thought was on a silver platter

Nonetheless, you made me stronger

Even against bomber

You kept me in your arms; your embrace, a great shelter

I wonder where I’d have been, if not your favour

Abba! My Maker!

You are greater than the greatest, higher than the highest

You carry me on your shoulders;

Set me free from slayers

My name, added to your Kingdom partakers

I’m very honoured; even just for your loving-kindness.

Having you is the greatest gain;

Because you are always there for me

Not a single moment have you hated me.

I remember then, when I was going through that pain;

I felt like going insane

Lo! I heard and felt your spirit hovering and whispering

Behold! “I have broken that chain”

Oops! I know I’m not asleep. This can’t be a dream

I have to bow my head down in shame

I promised not to do that again;

But NO! I did the same

Oh God! Forgive me; I take the blame

I accept even if you use the cane

Once more, cleanse me of my stains; I want to be named a saint.

Now I am a changed person;

I devote my life to His service.

Surely, I shall proclaim and spread the good news about His kingdom, Heaven.

It’s my plea that all should hearken.

The Universe is falling;

God is the Reason.
