“Your beauty and love chase after me every day of my life.”
– Psalm 23:6
Help me make the right decisions,
Help me think the right thoughts,
Help me know when to speak
and when to listen
Help me Lord.
Help me want what you want
not my will but Father, yours
Help me surrender all
Help me be fed
Till I want no more
Till I’m filled with awe
At your spirit at work
How you intentionally weave things together
All for the pleasure
Of proving you know me
Better than anyone or anything
Of proving your intentions are for good
Of proving you have intentions and you think of me
That should be enough
That will be enough
because for your love
I don’t have to suffer
I don’t have to second guess myself
it’s secured, it’s what I possess
in abundance
because I have you
You’re my boo
That intimacy I crave
I receive from you
That intention I hail
I receive from you
That date I want
Let’s go on two!
You are committed to me
And I to thee
Your bride indeed
A blissful matrimony
A transcendent peace cometh over me
Because that’s you, you are love
Showered from above
Meeting me as God
Filling me with songs
The David-kind, I’m stunned
As I type, I’m won
All over again
“I want to be pursued”
I’ve been though, am I rude?
For never noticing you?
For never realising that you
Pursued me when I felt I wasn’t enough
Searched for me so that my heart could beat with love
So that the rhythm could spell out your name
‘To God be the Glory’
To Him be praised
Tolulope
He’s raised me from the pits of despair
He’s given me a smile none can compare
He’s lavished me with gifts and all I want to do is share
Share them with the world
So they know of Him too
Let them know this good, good Father
And how He can meet them too
Just where they are
Just where you are
He’s never too far
Lagbaja - except with a face
One that spells ‘Yahweh’
The one that’s too sacred to be explained
That is too glorious, Moses had to refrain
From staring directly at those flames
But yet we have faith
I have faith
That He knows my name
He hears my cries and sees my teary eyes
He knows when I’m confused and fearing what to do
And He steps in
Ready to defend
Ready to amend
Ready to avenge
He is my anchor
When I’m lost in the waves
When the wind within my mind
Moves those thoughts to sway
He keeps it still
And He forever will
Because He is mine
And I His precious daughter,
how divine!
