SCARED OF LOVE

You are getting cold feet
Every time I asked you out on a date
You do not have to keep avoiding me
Your secrets are safe with me

Love sometime get us hurt with scars
Makes one lose everything she has
Self confidence, trust and  charming smile
Leaving the heart emotionally bankrupt to die

I am not a devil you projected men to be
I am not perfect, this I would not disagree
But I have a conscience, just as much as you
To sit beside you, cherish you is all I want to do

I know what you have been through
I promise to be there for you
Please permit me to hold your hand
To be a friend you can rely on until the end

Your heart is broken before
I know you are scared of falling in love
I will treasure you with every bit of my heart
Do not despise me for trying to love you as deserved

AGAINST ALL ODDS

To my good friend Abimbola Otu.. May the stream of love she has found, flows into a river of everlasting joy.

How can I think I could love you equally?

I can never measure the length of your love

The first time you touched me, my heart melted completely

When ever I look into your eyes, I see love

Like a hostage held in a getaway car

I am unconditionally indebted to you

Where ever the destination, no matter how far

I am content as long I am with you

We can leave the world behind us

Lean my love on you, that is all I want to do

Let us go somewhere no one can find us

Any place is home as long we see it through

People say look at them, they are naive

Against the odds, we can not make it

I am thankful we never adhered to thoughts negative

See how far we have gone, together we beat it

After all this time, you are still the one I love

Everyday, the feeling in my heart is brand new

I found a priceless treasure no one thought I could have

This is but all thanks to you

IN THE MORNING

I woke up five o clock in the morning
All I see around me is a world burning
I can not imaging such harmful stories
What I hear every where is human decries 

Political diseases eating the people 

Human sacrifice and rituals a constant evil 

Hatred and envy amidst saints in the church 

Tribal killings getting out of reach

Gay and lesbianism on the high rise 

Injustice eating away innocent lives 

Malnutrition residing in a once happy home
Unemployment leading nations to doom

The sun does not shine bright anymore 

Life is deprecatory worst than before
As I opened my eyes and behold the morning breeze
I prayed for man to be forgiven of his sins

IT STARTED WITH A KISS

I was by the sidewalk waiting for a cab

Mindful of the people I am acquainted with

There he stood with a charming looks 

And came knocking at the door of my heart

At first, felt I was hallucinating

The mind is playing a prank with me

But somehow he could glimpse right through me

Of thoughts vulnerably concealed in my heart

Just as a coerced storm

He came and swept me off my feet

With a smile resilient and undissolved 

Caressing every tender bud in my heart

I never meant to succumb easily to a stranger

But his charm and looks are irresistible

It tore my emotions, I lost self-control 

And drove me out of my mind

When his lips touched mine

I was totally lost and confused

Before I knew it, I was drowning carelessly

An emotionally in a pool of love

I swear I was just as innocent 

Never meant to seize advantages of my weaknesses

In a moment such as this, I have got no alibi

It, all started with a kiss

IN THE DARK

In the heart wedge
Is a soul lost in the dark
Scavenging to survive
In a obsolete world

THE DAY OF PENTECOST

The day of Pentecost is here
Look up into the sky and you will see
Angels are ready, armors to bear
To reward faithful servants humble to be

The devil, demons and worldly enemies
Fighting tooth and nail to deprive thee of thy will
Baffled at why God gave you so much attentions
The grace of the holy spirit abiding in you in glory

Watch and pray, day and night
The violence man never sleeps nor slumbered
Seeking lost souls to be destroyed
For the end of the world is at hand

Don't be scared or discourage, but be of good cheer
For the devil has been long defeated
If there comes a storm, rejoice aloud without fear

Ye are sons and daughters of the most high God

Let go every doubts that burdens the inner heart
You no longer need to hide in the dark
Open your eyes, the future is already faired
But ye must die in sin and with Jesus re-resurrect

TWINKLE LITTLE STAR

Twinkle little star
How I wonder where you are
At night when I am down and feeling sad
Can't find you by my side

I bought a bucket of dreams and wishes
To share with you and my buddy Chris
Mom always told me wishes can fly
Tonight I am going to give it a try

I have always dreamt someday to be a superstar
My pictures in a magazine just like a movie star
The way you smile tells you are special
With tiny sparks of joy dripping come night fall

Sometimes I feel nervous talking to you
For a friend, you are unique and so cool
The next time you take a walk on the cloud
I will walk you home before the sun gets back

DAY DREAMING OF YOU

At first, it is like day dreaming
My heart skips anytime I think about you
You are amazing, one-of-a-kind
Special in every single way

Last night I stumbled upon a broken star
And the night got awfully sad
But when I heard the record
Of your subtle voice play

It takes my heart far away
For a walk on a golden treasurable day
I would rather give up my most precious possession
Than allow feelings for you get stolen

A girl like you do not often come by
For you, any thing you say I will do
Nothing is worth that much
Compared to a drop of your smile

I searched the world but it was all in vain
It is like playing a chess game without the queen
With just pawns, I be a vulnerable king

I would not go very far without you

NO ONE EVER CARES

No one ever cares about you
Not the way Jesus Christ do
Humbled and true, sacrificed unto death
For sinful souls to resurrect

The devil came to steal, kill and to destroy
He despises the bond of a man, a woman and her a little boy
For every blessing God bestowed on mankind
In the day and by the night, the devil envied

But Jesus selflessly adorned you
Always pleading for the retribution of man in full
A life protected under the wings of God
A joy boundless, instead of a hope tattered

Every where He went, He was doing good
He heals the sick, the poor He fed
Gave sights to the blind, to the homeless sheltered
Unto every needs He provided

I have never seen a friend who so much cares
Willing to give up His life to die for my sins
Though expensive, He gave His heart away for free
All He ever wanted is what's best for you and me

YOU ARE AMAZING

Oh Esther, you are amazing
Like Sunday morning
Your smile is beautiful
Like Sunday morning dew

I have journeyed all my life
But fond no beauty such as yours
The roses blossom at your sight
For love radiate deep in your heart

Everybody knows your are a precious gem
I would be guilty of an unforgivable crime
Be damned, to dare not treasure your heart
The best part of my life started

Onset from the moment we met
Like a kid addicted to chocolate
I could never get enough of you
With you, everyday is remarkable

BROKEN SHELLS

Do you see broken shells in my heart? 
What I crave is a good life for all 
A purposeful life for man living with dreams 
A creature carefully created and adored 
A soul burning with passion 
To make a difference in an obscured world 
Uncaptivated by prejudice or pride for self 
Meaningless and unfulfilled is a heart without a purpose 
Every day I ask myself, to impact the word 
How uncompromising can I be?

EVERY DAY WITH THE LORD

Everyday with the Lord is sweeter than the day before
Like a river flowing down the valley
His blessings throughout my life evolve
My heart is filled with everlasting joy

Enemies encamped about to destroy me
Everywhere I go, the Lord walks ahead of me
Like the length of the sky above the earth
I can not measure the greatness of His love

Today, I am a better woman
I can boldly walk around with a smile
Today, I can sing and glorify His name
The stars in my life  never ceased to smile

DON'T GIVE ME AWAY

Why are you trying to give me away?
Do you know you are heartless and mean? 
In your heart, thought I could not be replaced
Can not believe you took me for a bait,

That I am just a old dirty toy
Now that you have found a new toy in the store
Someone who is more attractive to you
Truth is I am fed up with your stupid game

Know that I can not easily be put away
I am going to do everything to hurt you too
No more taking me for a total fool
It is high time we both step on pitch and play

REMEMBER ME

Remember me Lord
When I cross the river Jordan
Sail me safely through storm and tempest
And through the trouble sea

Remember me Lord

When I walk down the narrow path
Through trails and temptation
Hold my hands and walk with me

Remember me Lord

When at night I lie down to sleep
Watch and protect me from evil
Principalities and powers of the dark

Remember me Lord

When I lift up my voice to praise You
As I sing glorious songs to honor Your name
May the joy in my heart be unending
