"Joseph Is Yet Alive"

Good news never expected!
Events never imagined !
Rivers in the desert !
Rainbows in the night !.

The unexpected
The seemly impossibles
Are the handiwork of Him
Who knows no limitation.

If you'll call on the Father
Unlimited in power
He'll do the impossible
Causing you to sing for joy.

-Odeniyi Oluwafemi (C)2008.
(Based on the Bible verse Genesis 45:26).
"Why Sit We Here Until We Die !"

At the entering of the gate
Of Samaria in ancient time
Were found four lepers
Hopeless and unknown to men.

In hunger and in the cold
They have learnt to endure
No succor from none on Earth
They have learnt not to expect.

But a day finally came
When they chose to take step
They refused to abide
Where they've been for years.

Their resolution destroyed their fears
Their good expectation was realized
Far beyond their imagination
Far above their highest hope.

To us their call resounds today
Why sit where we are
For there still lies ahead
Glorious days in God for us !.

-Odeniyi Oluwafemi (C)2008.
(Based on the Biblical account in 2 Kings 7:3-11).




It Is Enough.

David sinned and judgement came
Destruction on Israel's coast
Multitudes perished by the the plague
The angel's sword had been drawn.

David acknowledged his wrong
On Heaven he quickly called
For mercy alone he plead
For many have already died.

With compassion the Father cried
To the angel to cease his work
From destroying the people
For His compassion never fail.

To the Father today let's call
For His mercy upon our world
That deliverance men may know
From the hold of sin and death.

-Odeniyi Oluwafemi(C)2008.
(Based on the Biblical account in 1 Chronicles 21)
