Michael Nkwocha Poems

I'd rather have a friend so true
than wine and dine with kings.
I'd rather have a friend faithful
than walk all day with nobles.
...

Why pray to God for providence
then shut our eyes to our neighbour's needs?
Why pray 'Lord shelter the homeless'
then shut our door against the stranger?
...

We are all companions together
for we journey through life to eternity
in life no one walks alone
for the Father's love has made us one.
...

Arise o sleeper
wake up to the morning song-
the sweet melodies of the birds
the cloud so bright and clear
...

I have a guardian angel
given to me by God
he always stays beside me
and never goes away
...

A candle glows in each of us
the love of God did light
to us He gives the pow'r to tend
to care and keep abright.
...

I say my yes to You dear Lord
though weak and fainting be my heart
for fear I'd never keep my word
but yes I say and yes I mean.
...

Here o Lord my body lay
the day soon spent, the night has come
when morning comes may I arise
with heart refreshed and strength renewed.
...

Behold the singing of the birds,
the whistling of the leaves;
behold the rushes of the sea -
the love of God proclaim.
...

There are things the heart cannot know
depths the mind cannot grasp
till we're wrapped up in Your light
till we rest in You o Lord.
...
