I LOVE THEE

August 9, 2007

I love thee OH Lord
Show me the way to Jericho
Show me the way to Canaan
Give me the maana that you gave your people
Give me my daily bread
Show me the way to the promised land
Let your spirit fill my body
May the holy spirit fill me up
In Jesus Name I pray
Amen.

MOTHER EARTH

July 26, 2007

 

Mother is the giver of life

Mother represents God on earth

Mother is connected to the universe in a way that nobody else is connected to it

In a sense in order for one to find oneself

One has to really find ones mother

Because one is born from the mother

And one lives in the mother’s womb for nine months

And the time that one lives in the mothers womb is the time that one is really serene

That is the time that one is really enlightened

So in order for one to find oneself

On has to go in the state that one was in the mother’s womb

But how does one do this once one is a grown up

In order for one to go in the calm state that one was in

One has to find the same buoyant conditions in life that one was in the mother’s womb

One has to be completely calm

One has to be trust that the mother will take care of ones needs

That is one has to trust that the universe will take care of ones needs

As in the womb one usually gets food from the mother and everything else that one needs from the mother

So when one is grown up one just needs to be calm and wait upon the Lord to provide on e with ones needs

Now, this waiting is something that people get disjointed from

Instead of people waiting intelligently, people wait carelessly

People should wait intelligently

As with the baby in the womb, when one is waiting, one should already be using the stuff that came before to grow

The baby starts as a small zygote then grows into a fully grow baby because of the food and she gets from the mother

So, man she grow into oneself because of the food that he gets from the lord

And the more food that the Lord gives you, the more that one is supposed to grow

If God gives you proteins, then you are supposed to grow muscle

If the Lord gives you carbohydrates then you are supposed to make energy with it

 

Now, we each of us have different things that the lord gives

To some, the lord gives the gift of preaching

To others the lord gives the gift of writing

To others the lord gives the gift of healing

To others the lord gives the gift of acting etcetera

So we each have to use what the Lord gives us in order to do God’s will

That is to use the gifts that God gives us in order to grow into becoming the person that we want to be

 

The lord provides for everyone according to the needs of the person and according to what the lord wants the person to accomplish on this earth

And since we are all unique,, there is nobody that is more important than the other in the eyes of God

The work of the musician is as important as the work of the Land lord

The work of the poet is as important as the work of the goldsmith

As long as what we are doing exalts the lord then we should do it with all our might and with all our soul

  

LIFE

July 26, 2007

LIFE 

ONE MAY ASK WHY DID GOD CREATE THIS THING THEY CALL LIFE

AND GOD WILL ANSWER, “I CREATED YOU SO THAT YOU MAY ENJOY LIFE”

AND ONE MAY ASK, “WHY THEN DO MANY PEOPLE SUFFER SO MUCH”

AND GOD WILL ANSWER, “IT IS BECAUSE YOU DO NOT FOLLOW MY WILL”

 SO WHAT IS THIS THING THEY CALL LIFE: 

LIFE IS TAKING A WALK IN THE AFTERNOON AND FEELING THE BREEZE WHISPERING SWEET WORDS TO YOU

LIFE IS LOVE

LIFE IS BEING IN LOVE WITH A WOMAN WHO IS MILES AWAY BUT STILL GETTING TO COMMUNICATE

LIFE IS BEING IN LOVE WITH THE MOST AMAZING WOMAN ONE HAS EVER SET EYES ON

LIFE IS LOOKING AT THE CLOUDS AND MAKING OUT AN ANGELIC FACE

THEN THINKING THAT ONE IS HALLUCINATING BECAUSE HOW CAN ONE SEE FACES IN THE CLOUDS

 SO WHAT IS THIS THING THEY CALL LIFE 

LIFE IS TAKING A WALK BY A MOSCQUE AND SEEING A CAT WALKING SOLENMLY BY AS IF REMARKING ON THE SACREDNESS OF THE PLACE

LIFE IS A VERSE

LIFE IS A SONG

LIFE IS A POEM, THAT ONE CREATES AS ONE GOES ALONG

 SO WHAT IS THIS THING THEY CALL LIFE 

LIFE IS LIKE A PAINTING, WE ARE THE PAINTERS WE SIMPLY PAINT OUR LIFE AWAY AS WE GO ALONG

LIFE IS A GIFT FROM GOD

LIFE IS TO WAKE UP IN THE MORNING AND THE FIRST THING ONE DOES IS TO THANK GOD FOR BEING ALIVE ONE MORE DAY

LIFE IS FAMILY

  SO WHAT IS THIS THING THEY CALL LIFE 

LIFE IS FALING IN AND OUT OF LOVE 100 TIMES BECAUSE LOVE IS TOO GOOD

LIFE IS GOING TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY THEN GETTING OUT EARLIER BECAUSE THE GODS DEEM IT FIT TO GET OUT EARLIER

LIFE IS FIGHTING AND QUARRELING WITH ONES RELATIVES OR THINKING THAT ONE IS FIGHTING WITH ONES RELATIVES WHILE ONE IS ACTUALLY COOPERATING WITH THEM

LIFE IS BEING IN CONSTANT COMMUNION WITH ONES ANGELS EVERY MINUTE AND EVERY HOUR OF THE DAY

  SO WHAT IS THIS THING THEY CALL LIFE  

LIFE IS TAKING YOUR KIDS FOR A WALK EARLY IN THE MORNING AND PUTTING THEM TO BED LATE AT NIGHT

LIFE IS WHAT IT IS

LIFE IS SITTING DOWN IN THE AFTERNOON AND CONTEMPLATING THE GLORY OF GOD

LIFE IS GLORIOUS

LIFE IS PLEASURABLE

 

SO WHAT IS THIS THING THEY CALL LIFE 

LIFE IS KSSING YOUR LOVER IN THE MIDST OF WINTER AND A SNOW FLAKE FALLS RIGHT BETWEEN YOU AND INTERRUPTS YOUR KISS AND JUST FOR A SOLIT SECOND YOU LOOK UP, AS IF TALKING TO GOD AND EXCLAIMING AT THE MARVEL OF WHAT LIFE IS

LIFE IS A BLIND LOVER WISHING SHE COULD SEE AND REMARKING THAT THE FIRST THING SHE WANTED TO SEE IS HER LOVER’S FACE

LIFE IS CARESSING THE CHEEK OF YOUR LOVER MARVELING AT THE TOUCH AND CARE THAT GOD TOOK IN CREATING YOUR LOVER

LIFE IS ATTENDING CONCERT WITH HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE AND FEELING A SENSE OF ONENESS AS THE MUSICIAN BELTS OUT HIS OR HER RHYMES

LIFE IS A WOMAN WONDERING WHETHER SHE IS GOING TO GET MARRIED BY THE RIGHT MAN, AND WONDERING IF SHE IS BEAUTIFUL ENOUGH TO GET A MAN

LIFE IS HAVING A FRIENDS GROWING UP TOGETHER, PLAYING EVER SINCE THEY ARE YOUNG, AND BEING TOGETHER UNTIL THEY ARE OLD

 

I DELIGHT IN THE LORD

July 23, 2007

I delight in singing a song for the lord….

I hope that God will let me sing much more…

In troubles I turn to him

Give me strength my lord

I have no strength to carry this that I am carrying right now

To be alone in this world is the worst thing ever

We were created to care about each other

To be alone in this world is the worst thing

I write again, that the light has lost

If what happened to me really happened

And I humble myself knowing that what happens to someone can also happen to me

I ask for your strength o lord

And I ask that you do not judge too harshly

And I ask that you give me the connection that I need

The feeling of love and acceptance that I need

For we all need love and acceptance

We all do, even someone as strong as me

I HUMBLE MYSELF

July 23, 2007

I humble myself at your behest my father

I humble myself at your behest because what you are asking of me

No one has ever asked of me

Send your Angel before me to prepare the way for me

I humble myself at your behest because I do not have strength to do what you have asked of me

What you are asking of me is too huge again

I am sorry because sometimes I doubt you

And yet you are the perfect one, the impotent, the infallible, the omnipotent

I look at your earthly face and I doubt

I am sorry my father, my mother, for ever doubting you

All I have to do is to follow your will and I will be alright

To walk by faith instead of walking by sight

To believe instead of disbelieving

I will do your will my lord

Though what you are asking of me seems like a mountain right now

Yet there are people who climbed the highest mountains on earth

Oh Lord, the great one, carry me, show me the way

Clear the road for me, for your servant really wants to do your will

The mountain seems insurmountable, but it is climbable

I need you, mother earth, creator of the universe

Send your great spirit and your great Angels to give me strength

O Lord, show me the way and tell me what to do

There are tremors and earthquakes

Are you angry o lord

Are you angry at your creation

Or is it just science

Is this your anger o lord

Have mercy on your creation.

THE GOD FORCE

July 23, 2007

The God force is flowing through my body

The blood of Jesus is flowing in my veins

I am purified by the breath of the lord

The lord is my shepherd and I am his sheep

The lord shepherds me to greener pastures

He does not let me fall

He carries me upon the greater heights

He makes me fly like and eagle in the sky

He makes me cry and laugh at the same time

My love for the lord is only rivaled by the love I have for His creation

Indeed my love for his creation is love for the lord

For what he created is partly the lord because everything comes from the lord

So the more I love His creation the more I love the lord

The God force flows through me

FOR THE LORD

July 13, 2007

FOR THE LORD

How vast your creation

How magnificent it is!

How glorious

I can not even dare think about how it all works

When I try to figure it out, I can’t

I can’t even fathom how it all works

When I try to fathom it, it is impossible

How omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent you are.

How innocent you are

You are like a woman who dies a virgin

Never touched never violated

A woman who has not been deflowered is mostly like you

You are the Great Spirit that spans the mountains, the soul, the sky, the heavens and even hell

You are all over; you are like Hercules so strong no one dares fight you

You are most perfect, infinite in your powers nobody can dare fight you

Oh! my lord how magnificent you are

When I look at the sky I see you

When I look at the cat I see you

When I look at my computer I see you

Oh! How magnificent you are

You are el elion, el shadai, the most high

How magnificent you are indeed

In the air, I feel your presence

In the water that I drink, you are there

When I look at my sister, I see your magnificence in her beauty

When I look at my nephew, and his childish acts, I see your workmanship

Your workmanship is unrivaled, oh my Father, who can rival you

Who dares work against the most high, the glorified Father of all creation

It is the afternoon now, and I can feel your presence in my room

Oh my, who can be in two places at the same time

When I go upstairs, you are there

When I come down stairs you are there

Who can do that

No one, my Lord

You are my mother, my brother, and my sister at the same time

You are the shopkeeper that I buy from everyday

You are the dog that barks way in the night

You are the fly that messes up my tea when I want to drink it

Even when I go to take a shit, you are there

Who might you be, what are you

I can not dare ask

You are the lord , the most high

Who are you Lord, you are what you are

The most high

Your presence can kill a man

Yet man has sought your presence since you first created him

Who dares disobey you

You created us in order to enjoy this existence

Where there is love, you are there

Where there is life, we find you

When we go to the parks we see you when we see the lions

Where might you not be

You see all, no one can hide from you

Then why do people hide from your instructions

Why do people not follow your way

Your creation is magnificent

Why would people not want to follow your way of life

Oh lord, I want to be like your

I want to think like you

I want to do your will

May you guide me as I go through life

May I exalt you

May I be your work man

,may I sit at your right hand in the kingdom of heaven

oh! My lord, my sojourner, how magnificent you are

you are there when I am here

you are here when I am there

you are in my room

in my shoes

and in the words that I write

who might you be, you are the lord my God

you heal me when I am sick, feed me when I am hungry and give me visions and dreams

you have given me gifts, you have given me a wife

you have given me education

you have given me food to drink

who might you be, you are the Lord, the most high

you have given me a family, you have given me love

I love you my lord, my most high

You have given me the gift of life

You have given it all to me

I must exalt you my Father,

My father I must exalt you

You are the most high, who might you be

I want to know you more

I want to cleave to you

I want to help you shine the light upon the world

I want to do the work of the lord

I want to follow your way

When I am with you, I feel happy

When I am with your, I can sit down and do nothing and know that I will be ok

You are el shadai

When the group of children walk by I see you

You are my neighbor

You are him, the one, the one and only most high

Oh my lord, how I exalt you

In the radio you are there

When I see Oprah I see you

Even the former slaves must exalt you in order for them to get rid of the curse that befell them

You are the only one, I exalt your name

I am your messenger my Lord

I take your message to the world

I take your message to Africa

In the wind, you are there

In my arms you are there

You feel up my spirit

My lord, my sojourner, I glorify your name

Help my lord, carry your message to the world

In the music, you are there

If tomorrow comes, I know that you will be there with me

If tomorrow comes, I know that you will guide my steps

Oh! How magnificent you are

You are in the churches

In the mosques,

In the trees

Even when the mosquitoes bite me I feel nothing because of you my lord

My mother

My father

My sister

Guide my footsteps oh lord

Show me the way

Be my guide oh lord

Be the light in my house

Be the lamp that lights up my room when I do this and that

Be the royal queen of my house hold

My lord, be my one and only provider

You provide me with so much that I can’t even cling to it

You are the toothpaste and tooth brush that cleans my teeth

Oh, you are even my teeth

You are the one the one and only

Where can’t I find you

You are in Kenya and in America at the same time

When Leonard Mambo speaks, I hear you

When the reggae musicians sing, I hear you

I hear you my lord, I feel you, I want to be near you

Where at though

I feel your presence in my room, my lord

What have you for your messenger

I am your messenger

Tell me so that I may tell the world

Help me, so that I may spread the message

Carry me to the heavens

Carry me so that I may carry the world

Give me strength my lord

Give me strength so that I may do your work

Up lift me oh lord, uplift me so that I may carry your message

Lift me up oh lord

Feel up my room with your presence

You brought me from the US to Kenya

I was hobbling, and I thought I was finished but I am still here

You told me to fight the spirits

I told you I am not strong enough

But you said, “you are strong enough”

Oh I write nice poetry

Because your words are shining through me

Oh divine one, exalted one, who can fathom what your ways are

You say that your ways are not our ways

And that is the truth

But for us to do your will we have to understand your ways

That is the only way

For us to enjoy our existence,

We have to let your hand guide us into the upper realms of the world

The blood of Jesus flows through my veins

Because you willed to so

You say it shall be done, and it is done

I have traveled in airplanes and when I look deep down in the sea I see you

I look out of the window of my airplane and I see your vast existence

I see you when I look at how magnificent the eyes of my bride to be are

I see you when she smiles

I see you when she laughs

I see you when she cries

I see you when I see her

My lord, show me the way

When she tells me to do something, I do it because I know it comes from you

When my body is burning, you are the water that heals my wounds

You are the balm that is applied on my wounds

You carry me across the deep waters

You are my strength,

You are the eagle that flies high and can see a mouse way below

Oh my Lord, how I exalt your name

I can walk across the thorny bush without getting hurt because of you

The lord is my shepherd, I shall not want

The stars worship you

The wind worship you

The clouds worship you, my lord

I exalt  your name, because you are the most high

I write songs to you

And I want to sing to you

The signs of the world are what you use to communicate to your brethren

I am your messenger, I bring your light to the world

I need my bride to smile at me with those sexy eyes please

The atoms worship you

You are in the blood that flows through my body

You are in the cells

Osmosis and diffusion are you at the same time

EXALTING THE LORD

July 13, 2007

EXALTING THE LORD 

He leads me to sleep at night

He wakes me up in the morning

He washes my body and fills me up with the spirit

He gives me strength

He sends his spirit to guide me

And to help me fight my enemies

Who am I to deny the lords request

I am a servant of the lord

I do as he commands

He has commanded me to go forth and bless people

The lord gives me strength

To have to do and to be

 

They say, first seek the kingdom of God

And everything else will fall into place

They ask” how do we do that”

The lord says, “Love me with all your heart, your mind and your soul”

Seek Him when in affluence and in distress

Seek peace and joy in the lord

Pray that the lord will give you tender mercies

 

Have mercy on your people oh lord

Have mercy on your people

DANCE WITH DEATH

July 13, 2007

I danced with death and death could not win

I danced with death and death could not win

The blood of christ flows through my body

The blood of christ flows through my body

I danced with death and death could not win

It is by the power of God that I am still alive

THIS THING OF OURS

July 12, 2007

This thing, this thing of ours, I do not know what to call it
I do not know what to say about it
I do not know what to feel about it
Is it an emotion
Is it an attitude
This thing this thing of ours
I do not know why I feel it
I do not know what to call it
I do not know why I have it
I do not know what it is
This thing, This thing of ours
I do not know what they say it is
I have no clue
I have searched for explanations in because but I do not find it
I have tried looking in books and I can’t find it
Oh, this thing this thing of ours,
why does it make me laugh when you laugh
why does it make me cry when your cry
This thing of ours
why does it make me want to hug you so bad it kills me
why does it take me up the intergalactic spheres of pleasure
This thing of ours
why does it happen only when I see you
why do i feel scared of this thing
This thing of ours
I can not touch it, yet I can feel it
I cannot see it, yet I feel it
I cannot cling to it, yet I feel it
I cannot stop it, but sometimes I want to
This thing, this thing of ours
It does not need no explanation
It does not need no books
It does not need no other people
It does not need anything but you

It makes me so creative
It makes me wanna be near you
It makes me want to weep and mourn at the same time

Oh, the philosophers have got no answers
Oh, the religious men have got no answers
Oh, the animals have got no answers

What is this thing that I feel, this thing of ours
It is something that is indescribable
It is something that is unfathomable
It is something that cannot be touched
It is something that can only be felt

This thing, this thing they call it love!

You are my queen, and I love you.
