GRACE FOR GRACE

 


If the world's currencies were combined 

To pay the price of my sin so great

Still for the wages-death will I repine 

Grace for grace never to be ingrate 

Found its way into my poor heart

Restored God's light never to depart


All dues paid by the worldwide saviour 

Bringing mankind into God's favour 

That all may share with his neighbour

What only God's grace can afford

Not by man's finite and feeble effort

For the Living Spirit bears us record 


Changed by grace to live and pray

Revived by grace the Spirit to obey

That we may no longer be a prey

To him whose territory we assay

Subduing the flesh day by day

Grace for grace to tread the Holy highway.


✍🏽 S. Olumide David (Beloved)

My Journey to Bayelsa My journey to Bayelsa began on the day I printed my call-up letter, which serves as a pass to enter the main camp. Coincidentally, my travel coincided with a period of fuel scarcity in the country, particularly in Lagos, which led to a surge in transportation costs. However, I was fortunate to encounter favorable circumstances on my way to Bayelsa, my deployment state.

I know

Dark was the day and gloomy the night When lives of youths who for their right Raised their voices with unbridled passion Met their doom while on their civil mission They die helplessly on our street Unprepared, yet long eternity to meet. Oh that our white flag means peace Oh that our national identity remained unstained  We would have walk and work with ease But for the massacre we are pained When will thou arise and shine And put on your purple and wine Let it not be later But rise now, Father of fathers To help the nation whom though loveth  For I know, HE liveth. ✍🏽 David Olumide (Beloved)

GLIMPSE OF HEAVEN

 I see the reflection of my happiness, In your eyes, Picture perfect, Like a bouquet of posies, Like a sky full of sunshine... Defining my journey aforetimes, Prologue of heaven, Heaven on Earth. I hear the reverb of choruses, Hallelujah over there, Someday I'll be there, There my heart belongs, No moth nor destroys, Like a gold tried in fire... The dawn of anaphoras, How joy rankshifts sorrows To dust someday I'll bid farewell I see the transparency of my heart, In your words, Pure  purity, With a blink, past becomes histories I'll be transformed with a glimpse, Just a blink, I am home To dust someday I'll bid farewell In you I love to dwell My home I destroy for a better home, The cross I built upon For a better home I'll live, To the dust when I'll bid farewell © adeolaoguntibeju
