    Help me to stay  Even when I don’t want to pray  I’ve been running in circles  Living in cycles. My enemies chase me like a prey  And Help me is all I can say.  I’m trying so hard  Or so I think. I’ve not even been able to write  And for all my good intentions …

    Sometimes I wonder. I know I’m pretty smart & intelligent  Very adaptable to my environment  I own warehouses of common sense  And every once in a while I whip out wisdom  From my hat like a magician I’m pretty calm and peaceful  I have my fair share of troubles  But I’m typically the one calming…

    Until I’m carried away  And no longer care what people say  Lord please help me to stay  In your presence always When my world sways In the midst of troubles & delay When I find it difficult to pray  In your presence I’ll forever lay Worshipping You in my conscious  Till my subconscious calls you…

    My own strength is fragile  My power is inconsistent  My will is not to be trusted. My feelings try to deceive me, every-time. One day I’m on fire, Another day I don’t even feel a smoke. My soul is weary, But my spirit is constantly with You Help me to know & live this.  When…

    Somedays I’m tired, Sometimes I’m sad, Sometimes I’m happy, Sometimes I’m glad. Somedays everything seems to align, Other days things fall apart  Like I’m Chinua writing these lines, And Living was my crime  Somedays I have faith, Somedays I accept my fate. Somedays I’m proud of myself, Somedays I’m utterly disgusted.  Somedays I know the…

  • You!

    You’re the one that shows me my future, You’re the one that can change my past  You’re the one that’s understands my present  And you lead me into your presence. You take hold of my fears  You’ve carried away all my anxieties  You seized my worries  You say they are no longer mine. Your word…

    My Spirit is longing  My soul seems downcast My eyes searching for distractions  And my body is tired. I sense I need Rest  But I don’t seem to get them in my sleep  And when I wake up There seems to be always something to do. Mentally fatigued  My routines seems to have given up…

    This was a tough lesson to learn  I love a good challenge by nature  My ego takes pride in everything I’ve earned  Fantasizing on words I’ll use in the future! I struck Gold when I found You But I found that you’re worth more than Gold. I tried to explain my decision to follow you,…

    Isolation caught me once again  I’m too vulnerable alone  I’m fragile & weak on my own  Every-time I’m alone I fall So many people around me  Yet I feel so lonely  Too many burdens  I feel no one would understand  I don’t want to be judged  I don’t want you to loose hope So I…

    I’m very thankful for growth  I started out testing the waters with my feet I remember when I couldn’t pray for 5 mins  Without waking up in the next 2 hours. I remember second guessing my salvation  With the fear of What people will think? The hesitation I felt to post my Spotify wrapped  When…
