Love – Akpan Emem Jacob
Torn between the lies and frustration of this world
I soaked in sin and death
My eyes were blinded by the tears and darkness of the earth
and I couldn’t see the love you offered me.
Roaming the streets of sin and reproach
I made there my place of residence.
You loved me from a distance,
when I had no idea who you were
and when I couldn’t love you in return.
That was all the inspiration I needed
to settle with you.
The light of your love beckoned on me
You held my hands and walked with me into holiness
You put the clothes of purity upon my shoulders
Introducing me into your marvelous light
My faith has been awakened as I have been bounded to your love.
