Oyekake Satty (O S) Joshua

When life bears you down
And your feet are heavy
When your heart is crushed
And the grinding relentless
...

I want no other reward
I want no other blessing
But to be found in your presence
In the smallest activities of life
...

This blessed moment of acquaintance
This unintentional but fateful meeting
A consoling presence, soothing breeze
This pleasant spirit, a newfound friend
...

Let me be to God
The fragrance of Christ
A sweet savor of His glory
A reflection of His character
...

A paragraph or a page
Cut out of a manuscript
A moment or a snapshot
An instant in a lifetime
...

The blossoming of new life
A spring garden of beauty
To prepare you to embrace
The season with freshness,
...

In the darkness that hovers
He seems like an unkind friend
But He knows all about me
And is acquainted with my life
...

Your presence my anticipation
Your infectious smile awaited
Now a generous sight to behold
An air of freshness and beauty
...

And beaten about to no avail
I yield my passions to you
My longing and desires amiss
And my passions misleading
...

The love that sought me
Found me in the murk
And by sovereign mercy
Dispensed grace on me
...

To live as a friend of the bridegroom
To seek to serve His interest not mine
To advance His cause behind the scenes
To work behind Him to serenade Him
...

The brightest physical moment
Of my mornings, your presence
I see you regally approaching
My heart warms-up snappily
...

A familiar beat in my heart
Pulsates with joyful melody
Reassures and encourages,
To urge me along this path
...

Lord, fill my life with your love
Wrap my heart with your passion
Let my soul sing your praises
Let my spirit savor your presence
...

Love is love
When in deed affirms
What in word avows
Without discontinuity
...

To the ends of the earth
Where dreams are conjured
Where friendship is born
Through the planes where life begins
...

Lord prod me often and always
Nudge a little bit stronger
Until my flaws are unveiled to me
Until I bow to you in acceptance
...

In the intimate hand of marital bliss
In the inner sanctum of divine ecstasy
Within this sacrosanct garden of love
Where pleasures abound night and day
...

This calling within, this burden,
That growls and beckons daily
To dreams or realms of vagary
And its path shunned by sureness
...

Your smile in this ambient grace
Her refulgence here sets aglow
While many still prefer to frown
To douse every flicker and glare
...
