AND FOR EVERYTHING

(A Song of God's Faithfulness)

[A Duet]


She begins:

And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen..


el-iyanu:

For the days of good, for the days of bad,

For the days of beans, for the days of rice,

For the days we fall, for the days we rise,

For the days of faith, for the days of doubts,

And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen,

And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen!


Bella:

For the days I cried 'cause I was losing myself

For the days when I no even get Raba sef

For the days my Faith wavered

And for the day I finally made peace with my Maker

And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen!


el-iyanu:

For the days of trees, for the days of plants,

For the days of then, for the days of now,

For the days we could, for the days we snoozed,

For the days of heat, for the days of ice,

And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen!


Bella:

For the days of Sorrow, for the days of Happiness

For the days I was praised and the days I was blamed

For the days I had more and the days I had less

For the days I walked around healthy and cheerful 

'Cause of your blessings and grace in my life,

And for the days I felt 'Lame,'

And For everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen!


el-iyanu:

For the days of dark, for the days of light,

We'll give thanks in good and bad times—

What is faith if it can't survive the hard times?

What is faith if it can't survive the dark times?

And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen!


Bella:

For the days of Abundant Blessings

For the days of Abundant Grace and Mercies

For the days we all felt like giving up 

For the days I had no shoulder to lean on

And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen,

And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen!


el-iyanu:

For the times I'm out, for the times I'm in,

For the things I said, for the things I think,

For the things I did, for the things I mean,

For the grace of God, the forgiveness of sins,

And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen!



Together:

It's been quite the journey, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen

Still a long way to go, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen

Plenty ups and plenty downs, indeed, quite the story!

And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen!

And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen!


Together:

And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen,

And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen,

And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen,

And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen,

And for everything, Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen!

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 ...

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?

THE ROAD IS NEVER ALONE

I Spoke to King Solomon yesterday, Told him I was sad and lonely, yeah; He looked at me and deeply smiled, Showed me a god-forsaken road, Then said: Listen carefully and watch, my child— The road is never alone! Listen, he said, the road is never alone! Your joy is yours, and so is sadness, Listen carefully, he said, my child— The road is never alone, And so you never walk alone! The path is lonely, and the lane is dark, Your mind is filled With a lot of things you can't track, Still, you never walk alone. Dark skies like a blacked-out picture, Blowing like garments without cincture, Tripping your feet chasing the future, Bad news that keeps the soul injured; At times, happiness becomes a decoy, Deflecting attention like a wind-up toy, But sadness remains behind the smile, Mind shattering like a broken tile… But I spoke to King Solomon yesterday, Told him I was sad and lonely, yeah; He looked at me and deeply smiled, Showed me a god-forsaken road, Then said: Listen carefully and wa...
