CHRISTIAN POEMS (OUR SOULS ARE SINGING) BY TONY TOKUNBO ETEKA FERNANDEZ

OUR SOULS ARE SINGING

Our souls are singing ,
With the profound joy from a new chapter,
And many more stories,
Embracing the music of Life.
Our souls are singing , to feed from the moment,
And cherish the songs that confide in the story of our many paths.

Our souls are singing ,
To look within,
To make a difference,
To know our calling.

For what greater gift lies before us than this present moment
Our souls are singing, with the music from the Lord

CHRISTIAN POEMS (THIS IS OUR STORY) BY TONY TOKUNBO ETEKA FERNANDEZ

THIS IS OUR STORY

This is our story,

Breathing within the riddles beneath the gentle sun,

For only God knows,

The colours of each lane,

And the blessings that unfold when we discover new paths.

 

This is our   journey,

Filled with the magic of many more routes,

As only the strong will feed from this moment,

And what greater gift lies before us,

Than the need to prosper and be free .

 

This is the beginning,

Of a new challenge and its many stories,

For our hearts are ready for many more roads,

And our soul is ready to honour “his name”

CHRISTIAN POEMS (WE ARE JUST CHILDREN) BY TONY TOKUNBO ETEKA FERNANDEZ

WE ARE JUST CHILDREN

We are just children,

Living through the streets of a new day,

Our pockets are filled with new encounters,

And the promise of The Lord, Drawing us close to a new salvation

 

We are just children,

Dressed in all shades and sizes,

Hoping to discover the  dream of a new life,

And fearless in our search to embrace peace,

We have climbed mountains,

And felt the presence of many roads,

For we are just children

Eager to serve the living Lord

CHRISTIAN POEMS (IS OUR FAITH ENOUGH REASON) BY TONY TOKUNBO FERNANDEZ

IS OUR FAITH ENOUGH REASON

Is our enough reason,

To smile beyond the picture of the present moment,

I have been on my knees all morning,

Embracing new thoughts and energies,

For the Lord has built a palace in my mind,

Filled with the promise of this sacred moment,

And as the dawn unfolds,

Into the brightness of a sunny day,

I am drawn to the Lord,

Able and ready to follow his ways

CHRISTIAN POEMS (THE DAY HAS COME) BY TONY TOKUNBO ETEKA FERNANDEZ

THE DAY HAS , COME

The day has come

To embrace the gifts of the present moment,

And cherish the blessings of all that is new,

For who would have thought,

That even though our hearts had been torn by the many wars and famine,

We would make it,

To cherish the greatness of this living day,

I have pinched myself a thousand times,

As the dreams from yesterday are still raw in the mind,

Filled with the madness of a cold imagery

 

The day has come,

To open our hearts and praise,

For it took the living Lord,

To open new doors when our paths were closed

 

And even though the night might be filled with the fears of many ill secrets

The day has come,

To praise his name

And embrace the gifts of the present moment

CHRISTIAN POEMS (PROVERBS IN THE WIND) BY TONY TOKUNBO ETEKA FERNANDEZ

 THE PROVERBS IN THE WIND

Can you feel the proverbs in the wind,

Proclaiming the birth of many new journeys,

Our souls are at ease, when we discover our routes,

For great dreams do manifest,

Painting each second with graceful moments

 

Can you hear the drumbeats of our old story,

Stained with pitfalls, covered in sin,

For even though our past is a home of many lost roads,

Even though our hearts have been shattered by the thorns of cold music,

There is a greatness that speaks silently, When we find Jesus

CHRISTIAN POEMS (A PALM FILLED WITH PRAYERS) BY TONY FERNANDEZ

A PALM FILLED WITH PRAYERS

My palms are filled with the injuries from yesterday,

And the memories of a lost song,

Triggered by the story of many lost battles

 

But in those same palms …

Is a home that has witnessed the secrets of praise and prayers

In those same palms, lies the truth,

Of the ageless journey inspired by our Lord,

And though my palms are injured,

They are also blessed with answers

CHRISTIAN POEMS (ALL I NEED IS A LITTLE MORE LIGHT) BY TONY FERNANDEZ

ALL I NEED IS A LITTLE MORE LIGHT

All I need is a little more light,

To see me through the darkness in the wind,

It has been a long race,

Filled with riddles,

And a season of endless battles.

 

Yet , each time i breathe in,

I can sense the home of triumph from a distance.

 

The earth is filled with many raw  lessons,

And it has taken very many roads, for our hearts to be filled with the food of faith,

 

But all I need is a little more time,

To climb many mountains

And embrace the message  of our living Lord.

THE AMAZING JOURNEY OF FAITH

 

Have you enrolled on the amazing journey of the Christian faiith ?

Where the sacred grace of inner peace,

Lives in our spirits and opens our minds,

Have you heard the stories of our living Lord?

Feeding us with his will and wisdom,

To become righteous,

To become humble,

To embrace new paths of eternal salvation

 

For I am humbled,

by the new chapters that govern my life,

As each time i close my eyes,

my soul becomes light,

feeding from the blessings of a new redemption.

 

Have you shared the revelation of his holy name?

Where the tragic ils of our sins are forgiven,

Making room for a brand new day
