Mama Africa Waits!

The African Mother longs to see her burden lifted off her back

She so faithfully brings up her sons and daughters in deep hope

Wherever, whenever, whatever

she hopes beyond all odds

She longs for the day the dust will settle and let her enjoy her toil

See hers eyes longingly watching

Hear her ears patiently listening

Feel her heart unyieldingly yearning

Will her sons and daughters make a difference?

Will they meet the expectations of her heavy heart?

Mama Africa will one day smile above her veil of struggle

Guide Me Lord!

Keep my eyes wide open Lord

That I may be able to see your ways

Keep my ears continually open Lord

That I may be able to hear your voice

Keep my spirit ever alert Lord

That I may be able to discern your will

Keep my soul awakened Lord

That I may continue to yearn for you

Keep my heart guarded Lord

That I will not be devoured by the evil one

Keep me fully armed in you Lord

That I will duel the wiles of the devil

Mothers Ever Wise And Dandy!

Mothers in love wander

See them render in tender

See them ponder in fonder

See them wander to binder

Who would be more kinder

To beat their love I wonder

Such a homely grandeur

Time spent in their gander

Mothers ever wise and dandy

The Unmerited Gift Of Love Divine!

Grace his unmerited gift 

Grace his unmerited gift of Love sired life

Grace and not my pace

Grace and not my pace got me to his place

Grace and not my race

Grace and not my race grant me salvation

Grace and not my chase

Grace and not my chase offered me deliverance

Grace and not my poise

Grace and not my poise gave me eternal joy

Grace and not my voice

Grace and not my voice reaps my soul rejoice

Grace and not my endurance

Grace and not my endurance grant me true peace

Grace and not my essence

Grace and not my essence soars me in eminence

Grace and not my guise

Grace and not my guise will I his presence suffice

Grace his unmerited gift 

Grace his unmerited gift of Love divine sired life

The Clock Is Ticking!

My yesterday is gone

My yesterday is out of hand I’m older

Of yesterday I cannot reverse

My today is on

My today is at hand I should be bold

Of today I must sing the verse

My tomorrow is gold

My tomorrow is at heart I must behold

Of tomorrow I can tune the verse
