As the Mississippi River
Flows along so gracefully...
I feel the power of My Lord
Quickly take hold over me...
Her current is so powerful,
Her rapid water is so warm...
I feel God’s love is ever so present,
Blessed thoughts begin to swarm...
......
When you reminisce the years
Don’t remember me with tears
Think of me once in a while
But remember me with a smile
When you’re feeling sad and low
And cannot find which way to go
Listen to our special song
Let the memories keep you strong
......
He could have taken anyone
But no one really knew
Of all the people in this world
God had chosen you
We’ll never hear your voice again
Or see your smiling face
We’ll never see the one we loved
The one we can’t replace
......
Even as we still feel like a feeble pawn in a chess of gluttony, yet, You made us resist the temptation of greed deeply rooted in an aroma of enticing betrayal
Events of recent months affirmed that the scorching of these black skins is an incandescent reflection of the deep dark shades of some souls
Even as Ayi Kwei Armah’s ‘Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born’ continues to bolster our disgust with injustice and will ultimately sharpen the ingrained desire for justness
Events of these last hours also affirmed that the cleansing of the malodourous souls are never awashed by an ocean of tears
Eventually, I pray the seeds of forgiveness sprout as Your torrent comes, as I am tired of writing the book of good in this library of evil. He will lead His people as I am indeed lost!
