I ASKED TO SING

I asked to sing...
And trust me, my brain meant just that- to sing
And the child in me could only imagine the beauty of the art
So the One who makes the birds sing
Looked at me, smiled and said, "Bring"

Bring me your life, let me make a melody
Bring me your heart, soul and body
Bring me your dreams, and I mean fully
Bring me your wounds, however much ugly
And the child in me could only imagine the beauty of the art

So I said, "Lord I bring
All that I am and ever hope to be...I bring
All of my tears, doubts and fears
And most importantly my voice
And the One who makes the birds sing
Took my hand, said, "Come walk with the King"

And through vast lands we walked
Through deserts we were sun-baked
Through heavy rains we were drenched
Through beautiful days we danced
But my mind could not comprehend the swing...
I mean- did I not ask to sing?

Yet through vast lands you said...see
Through deserts you said...keep going
Through heavy rains you said...learn
Through beautiful days you said...breathe
Never once did you ask me to sing.

Now the growing child in me starts to see
There's more to singing than just singing
To sing is to let go
To sing is to love
To sing is to die to myself
To sing is to soar on grace
To sing is to walk with Him-
The One who makes the birds sing
Only when to Him my life sings
Will my voice so beautifully sing.
Lord, let my life sing

ABIDE WITH ME

Photo from youtube.com This post is not for one who got it under control. This post is not for you who thinks you have to do a number of things to get God's attention. This post is not for one who already has a list of this years resolution and is willing to make everything work. This one today is for you who only knows that God is with you and that is all that matters. One who is aware of the new year but still has a junk of the previous years trying to weigh them down.

YOU NEVER LEAVE ME

Umeahidi ewe Bwana huniachi (You have promised oh Lord that you never leave me) Hadi mwisho wa dahari ulisema huniachi (To the end of ages you said, you will not leave me) Wewe ni Mungu uliye mwaminifu siku zote (You always a faithful God) Mimi ninaiweka Imani yangu kwako Bwana (I put my faith on you Lord) Today I just sat down and remembered the faithfulness of the Lord. These are the wings I needed to soar with in this new month.

PEOPLE

We all care. Most of us like to say we do not really care what anyone thinks about us but truth is that deep down we really do. It's just that some of us have slowly been sucked into approval addiction while some have gradually realized that it really shouldn't matter that much so we try not to let others' opinions sway us. All the same, even those of us who claim not to care actually want everyone to believe that we are unmoved by their opinions so really, it's a big deal. 123rf.com They are the best and the worst you've created Loving and hating and opinionated Loners in basements and those congregated Deliver me... Far from the peace, from ashore I was sinking Deep in the ocean of thoughts they were thinking Don't know what  validation I was seeking Deliver me from... I believe there's nothing wrong with caring about opinions. Because sometimes we're able to change our lives' direction for the better because we listened t

REMEMBER

Image
Sometimes things go dark. So dark that life ceases to make sense... Sometimes things go wrong and just when we think they can't get any worse they actually do... Sometimes we get weak...or as we like to say, life happens. This song, I believe, is for those times when life happens. Because those are the times we are prone to forget the truth we very much proclaim to know. Those  are the times we question our faith in God, we question His love for us, we question the very Words we so clearly heard Him speak to us. This song is a reminder to never forget in the darkness what we know to be true in the light. Cheta, Cheta (remember, remember)

OF HONEST PRAYERS...

Image
We've heard it said countless times that when it comes to talking to God, there's no sort of perfect way to it. What matters most is the state of our hearts.  A broken and contrite heart- these, He will not despise. A good number of people say music gets them through pretty much everything. The truth is that music is powerful. However there have been times in my life when nothing made sense. When I say nothing I mean even the songs that would normally be very helpful were simply just nicely arranged words with a melody. I would be in so much turmoil that I’d think of the times when one song or the other lifted my spirit and wonder what changed. Saviour please, take my hand
