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 asking God to give you an Ace...
Like throwing away your fridge 
And asking God for some freeze...

It doesn't work that way.
True, there are stories of radical faith 
Divine miracles when people pray
Where every blessing was worth the wait

But what if faith is looking before you leap?
Counting the cost beyond what you feel?
Knowing God is beyond the little bills
But taking like prescriptions the little things that he gives?

Faith can feel like emotion
Can be cold hard logic as well 
Trusting that your little steps
Will bring about a great fruition 

I've seen all manner of disappointments
But one thing I'll tell you is true
With God you'll run through a troop 
He is the Father of all alignments...

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?

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...
