Time and again
Only disappointment I find
But I'll find a way
In the Shadow of the Most High
This one thing is sure
Cos I put my trust in the name of Jesus
I will prevail
For God will make a way.
Chorus:
One thing is sure
When I put my hands
In the hands of Jesus
I cannot fail
For Jesus never fails.
Akpan
When I wake up in the morning
And all but grief surrounds me
And in my heart I feel distressed
When the sun is late in coming
When there's no joy in the morning
When all my hopes seem out of place.
Refrain:
I am not alone
His eye is on the sparrow
I am not alone
I know He's watching me
I am not alone
He's holds all my tomorrows
I am not alone
He's standing beside me
I am not alone.
When my fragile heart is bleeding
And my house of cards is creaking
And all in all I failed the test
When I'm home alone in deep pain
And my yesterdays bring me shame
I'll raise my hands and I'll confess.

He gave His hand to me
When I was there in the dark
Jesus stood by me
When the devil came to tear me apart
He gave me all He had
Jesus gave His life for me
He will be my Shepherd
And He will never leave me
Nor forsake me.
There never was a time
When Jesus ever failed
He would never lie
Of His good promises no not one has failed
He came down here below
That I might belong above
And oh what peace my heart knows
As I wonder where would I be
If He didn't love me.

I will guide you alway
I will lead the way
And when there
Seems there's no one to share
Then I'll show you I care
I will go before you
I will see you through
I will do mighty things just for you
I will fight for you
Just hold your peace I will show
The world you are My Own.
Refrain:
I Am
That Great Jehovah I Am
Now to eternity
I am the same
I promise
I'll be there if friends walk away
I promise
I'll be strong whenever you're weak
I promise
To do all I promise
To you it's a promise
I never will break
Never will break.
I will make My light shine
In your darkest night
I will prosper you
In all you do
All you ask I will do.
I will go before you
I will see you through
I will do mighty things just for you
I will fight for you
Just hold your peace I will show
The world you are My own.

Lean on Him
When you're not strong
He will help you carry on
Count on Him
He'll be your friend
A fellowship that never ends
He will catch you
When you fall
He can hear you
When you call
He will take you thru this
Don't you be afraid
Just lean on Him.
Akpan
Where is the Light
Where is the sun
To make the path before me bright?
Cause the track is oh so grim
And the future is oh so bleak
I can't go on
I can't hold on
Cause the pressure is too much
I've been struggling long enough
And hope is on the run.
Refrain:
Don't give up
Just let God
Let Me take your hand, My child
Without Me you cannot rise
With My grace you'll overcome.
Don't give up
Please hold on
I know it's hard but hang in there
I've been there before Myself
All your burdens I will bear.
Akpan
Tho the mountains fall on me
All my fountains are in You
Tho the foe comes a-rushing
You are my Tower Faithful
You're the author of my dreams
You give Your beloved sleep
You guide me thru the slippery steep,
Thru shadows that haunt the valley
You come through abundantly.
Refrain:
Stronghold
A shelter in the storm
The One I call my own
My Defense and my Rock
Stronghold
The impregnable fort
The One Who truly holds
My Savior is my God
And Stronghold.
In the Shadow of Your wings
There is abundance of peace
The waves obey when You speak
You're everything my soul needs
You're the content of my song
You're the One Who makes me strong
Makes me feel I can go on
All that I have You gave me
All that I am You made me.
Bridge:
You broke my shame
In the cleft of Your grace
When I call Your name
I know I'll be saved
I know I'll be saved
I know I'll be saved.

I'm gon' light up the world
Like a thunder ball
This lil' smile of mine
I'm gon' let it shine
Like I don't care about war
Or don't give 'bout the desolation
That racks my private corner
I ain't withering like wet paper
I am not the victim
I am the killer
I'm staying positive
Traversing the bitter
To so much better
I'm gon' shine my smile
And light up the sky
I'm gon' lift my eyes
And soar like a kite
I am not the victim
I wrote the verdict
I am the killer
I am not a squealer
I won't bow to hopelessness
Ama take my somebodyness
And bulldoze a path
To a brand new start.

You know
You don't gatto lose hope
Reach out and grab that rope
You have
The weapon in your hand
March forth and take the land
Open your mouth
And raise a shout.
Chorus:
A prayer away
There's no fairer trade
Shed that heavy weight
At the foot of grace
And ask in His name
He once took your blame
Watch Him change your game
He's a prayer away.
I said
He'll put your woes to bed
He'll raise you from the dead
He will
Send His angels to keep
Charge of you when you trip
They'll bear you up
Straight to the top.
Bridge:
He's just a prayer away
He'll take your pain away
Come running to the throne of grace
He'll lift you on the wings of praise
When you whisper a prayer
You will touch the Father
Come running to the throne of grace
He'll lift you on the wings of praise.

I fell for the girl in the picture
I saw nothing of her features
But the potential of the future
Only she could candidly capture
I fell in love with the message
Written on her fiery face
The little that peeked thru her veil
With the rage in her sway
The way she carried her frame
Within the cage of her pain.
I fell in love with how she braved
A danger so grave
Marching forward she won't cave
In to threat of the Taliban
Because she is a woman
Who has tasted freedom
Because she is a woman
Rousing the eye of the storm
Because she is a woman scorned
And now she raising hell
With her cardboard upheld
Her future none may readily tell
Cause terrorists trade
Modesty for slaves in a masquerade
Her march on Kabul is beauty
Raiding the belly of the beast
Her presence on the streets
Without male escort service
Is an article of taboo
Yet she calls that bull
She'll march to turn the rule
She'll march until they shoot
Her down
And her blood cries out
From the ground
And her voice rains like clouds
That's why I fell for her
And why my pen bleeds for her.

Check the compass
We're all about Mars
Hauling feet en masse
Talking all that jazz
But I'll pass
Weather conditions surpass
This low grade razz
And overrated crass.
What about the dew that traps
The stars in a blade of grass?
What about that lil' lass'
Hope of a fighting chance?
Have you done the math?
Count the consequence,
Put the horse behind the cart
For a second, brightsparks
Before we're roast lab rat.
This is reality uncensored
Time to pull all the stops
Calling all aliases
Upgrade your climate compliances
Earth
To the Dancers of Death!
This is where we belong
We don't know zilch about Venus
And Old Mars
Is riddled with old scars
Scars probably, telling us
That planet was once a suburb
Of beings of superior intelligence
Who lost it all perhaps, to negligence.
Along came a human
Pondering, 'Didn't they almost have it all?'
Forgetting he carbonized his own land
He's only there for Planet B
This would've been pure comedy
Had the situation not been ironic
We're the laughingstock
Of the universe
The carbon emissions say tiktok
And we've learned no lesson but the reverse.
So turn up the bass
Stop being an ass
Stop stacking up carcass
Ain't no time like now
Climate justice now!
