I thank God, I grew up and became a healthy man, but very rude and arrogant.

I then heard the gospel and responded to alter call and gave my life to Christ.

But poor me, since I was born again, I wanted to be doing good.

But the good I wanted to do I don't do it to the best of my ability but the bad i don't want to I found myself doing it.

Alas! Who will deliever me from this live? I am tired of it but thanks to God who always lead us to victory.


Poor me, the friends I rely on always abandon me when it matters.
But I thank God, I am not backward and now most of them are coming back.
Who am I not to forgive?
Who am I not to forget?
If I don't forgive, God will not forgive me my trspasses.

If I do not forget my conscience will be wounded.
People will criticize me and querry my being born again.

But I've got to live by it.
I've been hurt many atimes and I still stand.
Why? I have a rock, who stands for all ages.
The rock of Ages is behind me, I won't fall.

Storm may come, it is part of live,
Learn to cope and survive it.
God has been keeping me, protecting me.
I have course to glorify him.

Those I love do not love me.
The one I need needs me not.
I am tired of loneliness.

I love this lady,
I wanted to know her home.
I wanted to know her friends.
I wanted to know who she really is.
I wanted her to join me in making a blissful home.
But alas! my dream is like a mirage.

At any conversation she still denies my love.
It hurts but I live by it.
There is someone who really loves and cares.
This even died for me.

He is Jesus Christ.
The King of Kings, Lords of Lords.
He that sits on the circle of the earth, and the
inhabitants are as grasshopper.
He that sits in heaven and makes earth his foot stool.

Jehovah God, the Almighty God is the one behind my success.
Join me in Praising Him.
Halleluyah!

  and it was on the news and so on. On the day the workers came back to
  work, they found this poem in their e-mail that the deceased woman had
  sent on Friday before she left for home.




                IF TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME
 
  If tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see,

   If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me;

  I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today,

  While thinking of the many things, we didn't get to say.

  I know how much you love me, as much as I love you! ,

  And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too;

  But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,

  That an angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand, 

  And said my place was ready, in heaven far above,

  And that I'd have to leave behind; all those I dearly love.

  But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye

  For all my life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die.

  I had so much to live for, so much left yet to do,

  It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you.

  I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,

  I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had.

  If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while,

  I'd say good-bye and kiss you, and maybe see you smile.

  But then I fully realized, that this could never be,

  For emptiness and memories, would take the place of me.

  And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow,

  I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.

  But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home.

  When God looked down and smiled at me, from His great golden throne,

  He said, "This is eternity, and all I've promised you."

  Today your life on earth is past, but here life starts anew.

  I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,

  And since each day's the same way, there's no longing for the past.

  You have been so faithful, so trusting and so true.

  Though there were times you did some things, you knew you shouldn't do.

  But you have been forgiven, and now at last you're free.

  So won't you come and take my hand, and share my life with me?

  So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart,

  For every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart.

   With thanks to Kotie

There is nothing glamorious about working in oil industry except the pay.
Yet some work gives you more money than offshore job.
The risks and hazards can't be compared to the monetary gains and benefits.

Some people say they pay oil workers too much but we don't see it like that.
Imagine now I leave my home for good 28days and have 28days off.
How does it sound if you're a married man, leaving your family for 28days?

But i have to do it for a period of time to stabilize my finacial life.
If there is a fire breakout, the probability of surviving ranges from 0.1 to 0.5%
Oh poor me to have found myself in this situation.

But I am enjoying the job.
honestly, I like it for now.
But won't it have effect on my family when I start bearing children?

I am like biblical Jacob.
Who was sleeping
right there where God was
Yet he knew not.

Thank God for him
he realised himself
and acknowledged the presence of God.
And he exclaimed!
The Lord is here and I know it not!

I saw God in you again today
There in the gentle touch of your hand
I saw Him in your bright smile
Only God and I could understand.

I saw God in children as they play
I see Him in teens and older folks too
He is there in a stranger's face
I see God where I go and what I do.

I saw God in a baby's hand and smile
He was there in a beautiful rainbow
I saw Him in a quiet, calm stream
He is there when silent breezes blow.

As friends walked down the street
Talking and laughing as friends do
I saw God in their kindness today
It was then I also thought of you.

I saw God in the morning dew
He was there in the beauty of a flower
I saw Him as He created the sunset
I see Him every day and hour.

]]> 31 Aug 2005 17:27:59 +0100 http://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-1407.0.html#msg39701 To all Nairalanders!

I heard a message today
and it's re-directing me
changing my orientation and perception.

And I decide to write this letter of apology
for I don't know whether I've offended you
through my posts here on Nairaland.

A new beginning for me
Now read this:

As the sun begins to rise
A new day is shining through
I hope you will forgive me
Today start again anew

I want to make it up to you
To show you how much I care
To make you feel this way again
I promise I wouldn't dare

I love you more than ever
You make my world complete
The last thing I would ever wanna do
Is make you feel so blue

I am trying to apologize
To show my love is true
For all I really want to do
Is to share my life with you on nairaland forum.

If I have offended you before I use this forum to say
sorry and ask for apology.
I think you will surely do.
God bless you.
