LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO

I stand in a corner
Knowing no better
Shaking and shivering
Fearing the thunder

A thunder l only know so well
As my heart swells
Filling up with fear
As l wonder what to do next

I should know better
Because l know you love me
Because you are watching my every move

Human is what l am
With no trust when all crumbles
With all doubt when l trip
Human is what l am

I should know better by now
Because of your promises
Because you deliver like always

But human is what l am
So help me Lord, as l hear the thunder near
To believe you will deliver me
like you always do

©2005 DEDICATED TO YOU WHO IS IN DOUBT ABOUT GOD'S LOVE FOR YOU

I KNOW FOR SURE

There’s something about you that’s unique
I can’t tell you what it is
But for now l’ll tell you
What l know you know l know

I know for sure

You are gentle with every thought l share
You are sweet with every fall l encounter
You are intense with every moment l bear

I know you know l know

What’s in your eyes?
Can’t tell what it is
Looks like fondness, looks like infatuation
Maybe love
But l’ll tell you what l know you know l know

I know for sure
You are love in your every move towards me
You are love in your every word you whisper to me
Dear Jesus you are love in all you do for me

I know you know that l know for sure
You are love in every way
Dear Lord

THE WHOLE OF ME IS BEAUTIFUL

This is me
The whole of me
As God created me… No apologies, No regrets
The whole of me is beautiful
Is tender and treasured
Makes me curious
Makes me glad
The whole of me is beautiful
My blossoming chest
My wonderful curves
The fluctuation of my moods
My menses
Hmmm…
That’s me
No apologies, No regrets
Because
The whole of me is beautiful
I may not understand me
But the whole of me
The whole of me is beautiful

Dedicated to the struggle to get sanitary towels to our girls here in Kenya
