WE TESTED POSITIVE

 I.
Tested positive for having faith in God
When it wasn't easy and things were rough
Went under the waves
And came through the storms
Went through the fire
And grevious burns
But I—
Just tested positive for having faith in God,
And knowing that storms don't last.

II.
I tested positive for having doubts
So many times when I cried out loud
Tears in the pillow, asking why 
Why the pain, Lord haven't I tried?
Why are things so freaking hard?!
Are you mean because I've been bad?
Everytime I just feel sad
Like you mixed my bread with sand
But I—
Just tested positive for having faith in God,
And knowing that storms don't last.

III.
Things were silent in the storm
The world watched as I beat the walls
Locked in, no one to help me out
I'm screaming loud without a sound
Wasn't chained, but I was bound
To worrying for God to come through
I understood when the tides turned
He was there all along
But those days were long and dark
And I—
Just tested positive for having faith in God,
And knowing that storms don't last.

IV.
I heard from a friend who heard from a friend 
This kind of faith is highly contagious
Like a virus, it's going to spread
She breathes, her joy infectious
You're going to hear from her
Because she just—
Tested positive for having faith in God,
And knowing that storms don't last.

V.
I always had these negative thoughts in my head
And every night when I lay in bed
Why do I have to be the one wishing I was dead
'Cause nobody always cared
And life has always been so unfair
But I,
Just tested positive for having faith in God,
And knowing that storms don't last.

VI.
Many times when I felt sad, rejected and lonely,
Times when I felt I was failing and losing myself—
But He has been the only one there for me
Directed wonderful people to my side,
Times when I cried and had no one to lean on
He gave me reasons why I should hold on,
Hold on to life 
And gave me hope that sad phases in my life won't go on and on.
Cause I—
Just tested positive for having faith in God,
And knowing that storms don't last!

VII.
Always keeping my faith in Him from now on
And He'll always guide me, forevermore
Now here's my part after hearing from a friend
Another one He directed to me!
And we just—
Tested positive for having faith in God,
And knowing that storms don't last!
We just tested positive for having faith in God,
And knowing that storms don't last!

TO KNOW I GOT YOU (WONDER WOMAN)

Omo, you dey make my heart dey beat Thinking of you, my mind dey sweet Like Chike I wan dey run to you Dem say life na suru But for you I be Eran Nuru I still smile when I think of you Revisit talks I had with you I dey bless God because of you Like which material he use make you? Not perfect but we need to be In case you're wondering, same applies for me But I know enough to not judge me Like I wouldn't want to judge me You're like a dream come true Everyday I wanna shout out to you You remind me of Queen Esther You're one great queen, remember! That mercy and dear compassion You are my friend, my dear companion Relating don't have to be romantic Forgive me my dear antics But it's good to know I've got you Someone brave and down-earth humble You no dey do gra gra, you no dey fumble See how freely I speak with you? Means the world to me, true! You're a woman but you are my bro And I respect you kindly, aburo.. ©el-iyanu, 7th of November, 2021. For a very...

WITH GOD, WE'LL RUN THROUGH A TROOP

Like Humpty Dumpty in a house of cards Your house fell down like the walls of Jericho [And it's hard to pick up the spare parts] Every spring of idea became a dying plant (God forbid!) Something of colour ends up in monochrome  Look before you leap, are words of wisdom But what if faith is leaping before you look? Or is faith leaping before you look? And where then does that place our reasoning? Is it still faith if it breaks like a broom? And what if this leap doesn't pay as due? Should our faith in God make everything (exactly) possible? However, base your plans on something solid Not something that could go up in smoke Do not be too hasty to strike gold Neither delay too long a decisive blow  Be confident in your ability to win the race But don't jump the gun and think it's going to be okay (it's not!) Have faith in God, believe he can do all things But don't back yourself into a corner and put your God to test... Like refusing to serve in a tennis game Then ...

MARY HAD SOME LITTLE WORDS

On this special day, I wanted to take a moment to send you my warmest birthday wishes. You have played such an incredible role in my  life, and I can't express enough how grateful I am to have you as an elder brother figure. From the very beginning, you have been there for me, guiding me through life's ups and downs as only a true brother would. Your kindness, support, and unwavering presence have been a source of strength and inspiration for me, and for that, I want to thank you wholeheartedly. You have been a pillar of support for me. Your wisdom, guidance, and friendly advice have been invaluable, and I genuinely cherish the bond that we share. You have opened your heart and embraced our family, making our lives brighter and richer. Today, as we celebrate your birthday, I hope you know how much you mean to us.
