What A Friend? by lalaponcus(m): 1:53pm On Jul 30, 2017 |
WHAT A FRIEND? Ewu nbe ni oko Alonge o Jesu. Big trouble looms in the horizon. That hymn (what a friend we have in Jesus) provided a spark A lyrical balm to soothe my wounds So sweet was its sound So calming was its effect. I spoke extensively to Jesus that day Groaned intensively to the one who loves me Went on the offensive in my struggle against pain Backtracked comprehensively in every aspect I had erred And banished my apprehensive thoughts to the abyss. I prayed so much. Encouraging others to tow that same line. Wondering why some people dont find it easy in praying. I smiled so much Urging others to be grateful for the present bliss Innocently disturbed that some people found it hard to thank God. Now I am back to that spot. The wheels of life has spu n once again. Placing my feet in the 'not too lucky zone' Dropping my heart in that frightful valley once again. Seeping my happiness slowly with the straws of worry. Reopening the blisters by listing the reasons why prayer is not the key. Creating a false picture of victory by presenting a means I can take to help God. Beeni Ewu nbe loko Alonge. Sugbon (but) This time is different. For I know; Even through the feasting and anguish, my lord stood firm for me. A fact that keeps my soldier boots and war regalia, fully on. A reality that girds up my mind, hardening it to withstand a greater wave of doubt. A truth that keeps me on guard at night, making me to stay even when my trench is taking a heavy shelling and my comrades are deserting quick Though my heart yearns for these 'up and down' moments to stop, I know that it will be well in the end. Because I have a priest who understands. Because I have a God who braved it all. #BASHORUN Okontas.com Happy Sunday |
