Jangwa

You watch me stumble,

You watch me fall,

Just like you let me learn to crawl

Before I walked,

You keep me humble,

When open doors stall,

Watching my inner brawl,

When I’m desolate and yoked,

Oh you let me cry out,

In the Jangwa of my loneliness,

Let me get worn out,

Till my light is snuffed out by the darkness,

Then you tell me,

This is just a test,

To birth my testimony,

To bring out my best

You watch the storm clouds gather,

You watch the winds blow,

Even though You are my father,

You don’t stop the river’s overflow,

You let the thunders roar,

And let my foundations shake,

And though You can make me soar,

You let me endure the earthquake,

Oh you let me cry out,

In the Jangwa of my loneliness,

Let me get worn out,

Till my light is snuffed out by the darkness,

Then you tell me,

This is just a test,

To birth my testimony,

To bring out my best,

..I don’t wanna the poster child of victory,

Let someone else do the job,

I just wanna be happy,

Please release the door knob,

I know my mess,

Is meant to be my message,

But I’m tired of the endless,

Rites of passage…
