WHEN GOD IS READY

When God is ready to bless you
He doesn't wait for permission from anyone
He will break protocol for your sake
Your enemies will be overwhelmed
Confused and dumbfounded
God will do wonders in your family
Celebration will not cease in your house in 2017


Happy New Year!

ANY TIME I CALL ON GOD

Anytime I call on God
His answer is always the same
He never tells me oh, the sun is down
Its late, sorry I can't lend you a hand

Anytime I call on God
He never ask me to wait for a while
My priority is first on His mind
A friend's wellbeing is His outmost concernconcern

Anytime I call on God
He remembers His promises
To save me from the life of sins
Restore my heart with love and peace

Anytime I call on God
He comes to my yield
His angels walk with me
Day and night protect me

Anytime I call on God
He says ask and ye will receive
From the richest of heaven barn
According to the depths of your need

OUT OF REACH

I find it hard to concentrate
Mind staring at the sky tonight
Can't find a single star
Its driving me out of my mind

Yesterday while standing by the sea side
Saw the reflecting of a heart drowning
Fighting for breath to hold onto a life line
Of memories and thoughts of you

GOD'S WAY

Its no exception
I am blessed by God
The universe He created
And it fullness of joy

The devil came to steal
To destroy man eternal soul
But all power belong to God
His glory is above the cloud

Only He has the power to heal and resurrect
The sick and dying soul from death
Only He can save and restore
Peace to a heart that's lost

He loves man so very much
Made heaven to be man's abode
There is no emphasis walking in sin
The price of death He has completely paid

No wonder I sense God's smile
When the sun shine above the day
The world, He promised to be a better place
If man only can turn back from sinful ways

HE SAVED ME

At age ten, I was having breakfast with my little sister
Had our unifuniformsorms on, getting ready for school
I started experiencing pains in my stomach
Lost consciousness and was rushed down to the hospital
Seven days lying on the sick bed, tears in my mama's eyes
Mama praying effortlessly, a bright light fell upon my heart
He saved me

I was driving on the highway with friends
Suddenly the break went out of control
Car ran behind a trailer, smashed into her back side
We drifted and dashed into the woods
No car overheating, no death sustained
I came out with but a little scratch on my left arm
He saved me

Walking down the street to get a beer at the liquor store
At gun point, I was arrested by the police and handcuffed
Sentenced forty years to life, for murder on awaiting trial
That moment, all my sins flashes between my eyes
My soul going to hell, soberly I went to God on my knees
God gave me a clean slate,  by His grace, now I am free
He saved me

FOR THE SAKE OF LOVE

I realized everything I've done affects the people around me
Life grows more and more responsibility
Made a lot of choices that I can't be proud of
Call me names if may or instead call me a rip off

Life got a way of smacking a man on the head
And made him lose track of the things he desires to have
I want to apologize for all the things I put you through
Made you keep so much pain inside of you

I am sorry I wasn't there when you needed a friend
I add more to your grief instead of lending a hand
It seems I never cared much about you
It hurts me more to loose the friendship I found in you

Your thoughts kept me going when challenges came my way
Every time you get on your knees, for my wellbeing you pray
I found out today you're the reason behind my success
By the will of God, I'll never again break any promises

I wish life comes in prototypes
I would become a better man in next life
If you look beyond my imperfection as human
You'll find out deep inside the heart I am a good man

Sorry It took this long for me to see
I cannot wish life the way I wanted it to be
We've all got limitations of the things we can do
I'll take back every breath I've got to make it right by you

BORN TO RULE

I am a king born to rule
Born to conquer 
Born to serve
Born to survive

Enemies encamped around me
Set ambush to destroy me
But I've got in me holy substance
The will of a thousand soldiers

The world can't curtail my ego
Victory proclaimed everywhere I go
Unequal to man, the weapons in my hand
God the father, the Son and Holy Spirit

I walk in the presence of the most high
My cup overflows with blessings divine
I dine with the king of kings
Heaven is my home and fortress

YOU'RE MY WORLD

The sun and the stars shines above you
My whole world evolve around you
You know, you don't have to prove you love me
You're the reason why my night is beautiful

When you're far away and I can't reach you
I look deep into my heart and there I found you
The warmth of your loving thought and smile
Keeps me by the day and when it rains at night

Together we built a bond unbroken
God blessed us with amazing kids
Fortify our home with joy and laughter
How could I forget our first kiss

I see a brand new world in your eyes
You're the reason I cry happy tears
I will love you for better and for worse
I will love you until the day death do us path

LOVE

Love is a covenant
Made unconditionally 
Every journey a sacrifice
That is voluntary made

When there come storms along the way
Do you seek shelter or held on strong?
To the promises once made
For behind the rain comes a blue sky

To appreciate someone
You've got to be willing to learn
Learn to be a friend and a companion
Learn to care, learn to love

ONE DAY

One day girl, I am going to make you mine
As bright as day when the sun shine
That's how you're going to smile
With tender feeling flying high

One day girl, I'll smack your heart really hard
With love tamper proof and entrenched
Kisses clouding your mind 

Thoughts of me running wide

DO I CROSS YOUR MIND?

When you're standing by the window
Sun's up, staring at the beauty of the flowers
In the silence of a beautiful day
The wind caressing your heart
Do I cross your mind?

When you're sleepless at night 
Mind permeated with thoughts
The comfort of a loving hand
Further away a lonely night
Do I cross your mind?

 

While you're walking by the park
The moment we first met
Autumn creeping between your smile
Is the feelings genuine or an infatuation?
Do I cross your mind?

I have spent my whole life searching
For a destination to get everything you need
Found out I'll be broken without you
You made my world so much beautiful

Do I cross your mind?

WHO STOLE YOUR HEART?

Please tell me, who stole your heart?
I most have lost her a forth night
I've been waiting under the cloud
But couldn't find the stars after it rained

I came knocking at your door
But no one home, I left a note on the floor
Waited on the phone for you to call
Watched the day slipped by and night crawl

The heart degenerated of sleepless nights
Searching the world for your hands
To hold and your pretty lips to kiss

The heart searching on the hills

Oh please come back home
I have got no where else to go
I will wait for you in forever land
Until you're back in my hands to hold

All Rights Reserved © Akan E. Udofia 2016

I DO NOT BELIEVE IN LOVE

I don't believe in love
It doesn't take me very far
I have for long been searching
If I could ever find someone new

That would treat me like you do
But since you went away
Life has been very lonely
I could feel my heart dying

Why do you have to go so soon?
Left me hanging on a thread
Should have known, you give me strength
You are are everything I believed in

Sorry, I didn't mean to be selfish
The pain of loosing you
Is holding me back
There are no more rainbows in my cloud

TOO MUCH TROUBLE

Hope it aren't too much trouble
To ask you on a date
I want to make it up to you
Did you know I have tried?

Fruitless efforts to keep away from you
It froze my heart anytime I look into your eyes
It gets me wondering if I am out of my mind
Hide my feelings within a wrinkled smile

While the night is spent in regret
Pray for courage a next day
Its awful when I think of my ordeal
Why I keep falling in love with you

Its obvious I am no match for you
For you are amazingly beautiful
To get used to you will take forever
It's worst that I don't have a clue

THERE WAS A TIME

 

There was a time
The human mind bore consciousness
Beauty of living a resourceful life
Of the mind free of conjugation

A world perfect 

Flowers tendered in the garden
Trees growing as high as the sky
Sunset kisses the rose as the morning lie

Clouds were made of dreams
A good life for all sundries
Summer lasted longer in the heart
Families rejoicing forever

I remember mom and dad's loving hugs
The thoughts of catching a rainbow
Thoughts of running down the field chasing butterflies
Laying on the grass watching the stars

It could be extremely dark when the light's out
Somehow I knew I would catch fireflies 

Reflecting on my dreams
Memories I could never trade

LAST ROMANCE

I tried to imagine life without you
What I saw broke my heart
This troubles the heart really bad
I never had the chance to make things right

I want to spend my world with you
Everyday I am hungry for your love
But the light went out, thoughts falling from the sky
I couldn't see, my vision hidden in the fog

I am scared
If the heart will ever get a chance
To be with you forever
Hold each other close when the wind blows

If you knew the truth that one day we're going to die
Will you kiss me like you've never done before?
It hurts my feeling everything we had will be gone
We don't deserve this, why is destiny cruel to us?

No matter what, I refuse to share my regrets
With the rest of the world
You're a big part of my life
For you, I will never say goodbye

FOR LOVE

What do you say?
We take a chance for love
I don't know much about love
But it's worth the sacrifice

A JOURNEY OF NO RETURN

A few second shall pass
A few minute shall pass
A few day shall pass
A few week shall pass

A few month shall pass
A few years shall pass
We will embark on a journey
A journey of no return

A day set for all into judgment
You can't influence the future
You can't run away from death
And can't buy away your freedom

Remember you are stranger on earth
Our destiny is in the hands of God
Don't despise the world
Its made of love and hate

SINCE I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU

It's been raining
Since I fell in love with you
Can't shield this feelings under the umbrella
Emotion is falling deep

Feels good to be in love with you
Now and forever
Its obvious you are all I need
As life goes by

I try to paint a picture
But can't portrait the love I found in you
There are times the day is bright
Because you are by my side

TO LOSE A HOME

To the families displaced by the storm in Haiti.

Helpless souls mourning
Hearts crying
Tears falling from the sky
Man striving to survive

Why is life so cruel?
Inflicting pain in our homes
Stealing away our happiness
In the middle of a sunny day

Why must the heart suffer?
When everyday we pray
Isn't the world created perfectly?
I thought this to be true when I was young

The world is beautiful
Enough to hold dreams 
Dreams of children playing in the park
Friends hugging each other smiling

Couples on a honeymoon 
Family taking pictures on a holiday
A mother bathing a newly born baby
But all this memories are gone

All Rights Reserved © Akan E. Udofia 2016

YOU WALK AROUND

You walk around
Like an angel who lost her path
I see a pretty girl looking sad
Can't help that I am drawn to you

Allow me to keep you company
It's going to be dark soon
Can I walk you home?
Where ever you wish to go

My heart I give to you
To keep warm your feelings
Never want the night stranded
Permit me to stay by your side

REDEMPTION

I woke up in the middle of the night
Little children kidnapped
I saw the whole world crashing before me
Famine and starvation in Maiduguri

Homes shattered, families devastated in Florida
Corruption eating away Africa
Suicide bombing ravaging the street
Girl child rapped and murdered

This is too much to bear within me
I tried to sleep but the night is scary
How can I when the world is falling apart
A world a mother and child can't be protected 

I cried many tears and pray
For the storm to go away
Fertile land for our homes and community
Human forgiven of infirmity

If only man can put his differences aside
Embrace each other with an open heart
The sins of man is leading to condemnation
Will you join me say a prayer of redemption?

MISSING YOU

In memory of KAYODE OMOYENI... May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace

Life is hard since you are not around

You watched over me when I was a little child

Taught me to stand upright for myself

When in doubt, your presence gives me confidence

It is sad and abrupt you are no longer with us

Brought into our lives beautiful untradeable memories

The tears we shed can’t be wiped away

The pain of losing you is too much to take

On that sunny day when this life will be over

We are going to be with you side by side forever

I know you are in heaven praying God to watch over us

Until the day we meet again in paradise

You were a father, a role model and most importantly a friend

The stars be bright when ever I think of you dad

We were a good team, you and I

I will stay strong for you until the day I die

I am sorry there was nothing I could do on that cloudy day

To stop the sun in your life from walking away

But I promise to you this day

Your legacy lives in our hearts each and every day

I pray God to give us the strength

In His words through storm and rainy day, be steadfast

The strength to hold on to your believe in Him

So I asked God to save the best rooms in heaven’s inn

Every thing I have, I would give up to my last breath

For you in my arms once again hold

Life will never be the same without you

Can’t stop crying, for I will be missing you

For: Omoyeni Esther

HYPOCRITES AND PARASITES

Hypocrites and parasites

That's what they are in hearts

Blood thirsty legislators

Feeding on human lives

Naive and heartless

Indifferent to the people's well-being

Of a mother hungry and homeless

Of a innocent child's future dying

Everyday you cast lots into your pockets

Pretend to be a friend in our homes

But conscience dug and buried

 Betrayed the nation's pride and left her grieved

God listens to the tears of a child

One day, thy soul upon be dammed 

For every deeds borne

To hell will burn

THE WORLD IS DROWNING

The world Is drowning
Of the foolishness of life
Who truly wins

In the act of war

We talk about right or wrong
But never weight it consequence
The world is destroyed
The moment the heart is compromised

THE PAGES OF LIFE

If God takes the pages out of a book
Life will be eluded
In a world broad and promising
Someone out there would've never had a chance

Under heaven, the rain falls and wet a man's dream
There is the sun to wipe away his tears
Slowing the world is ageing
No one seems to notice this

We smile and enjoy the fullness of life
Live in comfort and luxury
But forgets what it feels like for a mother
Whom can't help in her arms, her little child died

WISH I KNEW BETTER

Life would have been a lot better
If I had played by the rules
The sun would have rise up early
My world would've had lots of sunshine

But what is life without pain or gain?
A world with nothing to protect
Little things is reason the world is complete
Yet people find it difficult to realize this

Do you know you can hold the world in your hands
Be a role model to someone depressed
Thought changes everything in our lives
But to live consciously, are you prepared?

TO DREAM AND A WILL

I know, you know
Its not always about having a dream
As hard it may be
You need also have a will

Sometimes luck don't win the game
But a heart not letting to quit
You've got to have something at stake
Not bailing out of a difficult day

Dead is a heart subjected to defeat
Slowly if she can't take the heat
After a war, The world still will be
Why give up otherwise

FALLING

Oh, why do men fall?
Out from the genesis of life
Satan thrown out of heaven barn
Demons walking endlessly to steal lives

There is no way out of revelation
It's spelt out bluntly in the bible 

Man is lost, fading out of existence
Grave can't savage souls bond to hell 

Tell that man who kills a brother
That woman living in a brothel
There is no remedy to sinful thoughts
Life can't be measured six feet beneath 

Time for story telling is gone
Every man got the will of a saint
But its thrown away for lust and pleasure
A journey to eternal condemnation

IF SOMEONE

If someone tells me
I am not putting up a fight
The dream that can't  be accomplished
It's because the mind is not right

I can see in the world  there is a light
But forgive me for letting you down
Yesterday got betrayed
Didn't have the courage to face another day

Maybe someone can help put out the misery 
I am lost and can't find my way
Everyday I tried so hard
But can't become the man I once had

I put  behind me my share of regrets
Get  over the  agony of a dilapidated life
Please in my death don't cry
Tears will only bring bad memories

All right reserved © Akan E. Udofia 2016

FEELING OF LOVE

I have got the feeling in my bone 
Running through the pulses in my heart 
My emotion got a twist of fate 
The day I met you 

Its like life has been staling
I still don't understand 
Why It's difficult to breath 
Without you around

Can't find a way out 
Temperature running deep
I got diagnosed a forth night 
With feelings of love for you

THE ROAD NOWHERE

Under the stars of a silhouette night
Two souls journeyed deep into the night
Strangers stranded on the highway
It's supposed to be a beautiful day

The clock watched the night slipped by
A misery that lasted but not a while
The morning busy in the market
Farmers and traders match in hundred

The sun came to console two hearts
A moment far spent in agony and despair
Little children playing in the light
Wish life was really simple as that

On a dead of the night you can find but little comfort

Life got the tendency to be lonely sometimes
Love ones a million miles apart
As life journey into an world unprecedented

DRINK

Drink out of the sorrow in my heart
Drink out of the loneliness in my heart
I wore doubts and deeds
Misfortune of yesterday

Crack the feebleness of broken years
Wrapped in pain and disappointment
The night may be timid
But tomorrow is never going away

Who's going to make the pain go away
A destitute with no attitude
Mama never taught me to be a quitter
But ride when ever the sun rises

Tonight I am pouring my heart's out
You can't hold me down
I am overflowing the threshold
The world's lagging behind

Maybe I am too fast to be hindered
Maybe I should take a a break
Life got to have other plans
If I stay lucid in the mind

FOCUSING ON THE PAST

Focusing on the past is like driving on a highway with your eyes fixed on the rear-view mirror.

DOUBT

Those who constantly doubt their own judgement are especially prone to a wide range of psychological problems such as mood swings, lower self esteem, anxiety and depression.

EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU

There is something unique about you 
The way you walk, the way you smile 
How you knew when I am feeling down 
Caring, thoughtful and full of love

I knew you for an angel 
Always bringing out the best in me 
Selfless, understanding, amazing 
Special and down to earth

I knew from the day we crossed path 
You are the woman of my dream 
The missing pair of my heart 
The cloud hovering over sky

Today, when I stare into the world 
I see the stars in your eyes 
Time spent with you never flies 
You are worth everything deserved

HEART BROKEN

I met you with a heart broken 
Stood by you through a night forsaken 
When life was cold and blue 
I came to your rescue 

It was painful and sad in my eyes 
Life didn't give you much of a choice 
Left the emotion of an innocent girl 
Right from the rooftop fell 

We've all got stories of our past 
Unpleasant memories unfortified 
I choose not to judge you 
I've got my secrets too 

I don't have much to offer 
If only I can be your butler 
Be there to tend for your need 
To keep you comfort 

A blanket to keep you warm 
When it rains and there is no sun 
To the pictures in your heart, I'll be the frame Someone to kiss away the pain
