You Choose Me Poem by Ntshima Ramokone

As you want me to reveal your strength
With your strength
Which I can’t even touch
But always receiving its touch
Even though I’m looking to the path
You created for me
I rather be alone with you
And be behind you
As you are the one holding my breath
Rather than be alone by myself
Help me Oh Lord, to do things you had shown me to do
To act in a well manner Honored by you
Help me to please your Holy temple
Help me to persevere from temptations of bloody men
Please, save the strength you had gave me from evil deeds
Deliver me from bad attitude and evil deeds

Keep me flowing
Just like the gentle river
As you always do
Make me flexible as you could
Guide me Oh Lord, day and night
Let my soul praise you each and every second
Destroy all evil sprits within me
Keep me humble
Create path for me not to stumble
And keep multiplying the good spirits within me

Keep my mind focused on you
As you are everything on me
And all things I have to do
For my living is through you
As you are the one telling my angles to open
Doors for me after you had opened them all for me

Teach my hands how to fight by writing and working
Not to kill and to steal
Teach my mouth to speak about your unfailing love
Teach him to have secrets about what you told him
Teach my heart also to hide from evil spirits
Give it an everlasting protection with your powerful shield hand
Teach my mind to read according to your ways and commands

Keep my heart locked for evil spirits
Make it to be long patient
Let it scan first and read in more detail softly
As you had already gave it eyes and your soul to keep me
Walking on water towards you, Oh Lord

Make it your own secret place
Of no return
Keep it protected by your everlasting love
Honesty and your great deeds

And teach my mind, body and soul to work for your goals
As my goals are yours
And destroy unwanted fear inside me

“Thank you for choosing me”
