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.

I LOVE THEE
August 9, 2007MOTHER 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, 2007LIFE
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, 2007I 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, 2007I 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, 2007The 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, 2007FOR 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, 2007EXALTING 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, 2007I 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, 2007This 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.
