Waiting For Reprieve Poem by Elias Ng'ang'a K.

Waiting for Reprieve

Upon the trails of the world
make us strong in Thy spirit
Amidst felony of mankind
make us clean and
wash our unwantedness
For the sake of your kingdom
Help us stand the test of time.


Give us perseverance
Strength and love to hold still
Help us day and night
Christ be the shield
Your love; our only solace
we find.


As we build a beautiful
tower
made of life and pure heart
may we not grow weary
in character;
But surround us with
thy wings
inspite of our inadequacy
turn our weakness to your
glorly.


In the face of devastation
save us from iniquity
Christ be born in us
deliver us; renew our souls
Make us truly
fearful of your word, .,
humbly in your mercy
wewait for Reprieve.
