AS I  KNEEL  DOWN BEFORE THEE

As I kneel down before thee,

My mind is filled with beautiful thoughts,

For what could be greater than the food of faith?

And the new blessings that are right before me.

My soul has felt a thousand rivers,

And I have walked the roads that were filled with the mysteries of many questions.

And even though the passage of life is filled with many secrets,

Even though the dark winds pose a challenge to the journeys of each day,

The greatest moment unfolded,

The very minute I found you.

BY TONY TOKUNBO ETEKA FERNANDEZ

IS IT JUST ME OR WHAT COULD IT BE ?

 Could it be ?

That your heart melts, each time you fall down the stairs,

Soaked in Lifes misery, of so many fears,

Could it be ?

That you have forgotten how to sing,

When there is no music,

And all your dreams have been shattered,

By the dirge of a chosen moment.

Or could it just be ?

That the riddles of the sober winds have taken its toil on all things beautiful,

Or has the night robbed the sea?

Turning our spirits into lonely beings.

Or could it simply be ?

That we have forgotten how to praise,

And cherish the profound calling of his holy name,

Have we lost faith ? Or what could it  be ?

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

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”

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

BY TONY TOKUNBO ETEKA 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

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
