| A Junubi Child Contends in anguish |
Stanza 1:
Like a wandering dog, along the street of pain
On an empty stomach, I sought solace in vain
Filled with bloody tears, eyes stained
Coined like a skeleton, carried in a train
Widely opened, ready to wallow in the grave
Echoes of dignity, trodden down the wave
Chorus
Oh, oh, oh, there's hope
waiting for you
In His arms, like a
shepherd, He will hold you tight
Do not falter; He
conquers for you, shining bright
Stanza 2:
A lion in the den, I hid the sorrow in the cave
Eaten by deadly stings, never thought to crave
Bounded by the might of integrity, I held on to
proceed
Like a prey outwitting its predator, I found the
strength to heed
There is a light of hope, beyond the shadows of greed
Never frail in your resolve, you will rise, unshaken,
indeed.
Chorus
Hold on to hope, don't
let it fade
In His presence, your
heart will be made new each day
He's your Saviour, your
heart's desire, forever the same
Stanza 3
Move out like Abraham, glance at the stairs of the sky
Beyond the back of the blue, above ages, some lives
fly
Get off the remorse, shade of the anguish, in the land
dry
Lament loudly, the vociferous ancestors; he does not
shy away
He divinely listens to you; Him you need to turn to.
He fights; he conquers and shields his, never
faltering.
Chorus
There's a light ahead;
don't lose your way
In His love, you'll find
the strength to face the day
He's your refuge, your
guiding star, shining bright.
Poet: Abunerry
