Poem: Speak Lord, I’m listening…
My ears open to your divine words, my mind anticipates your command;
Tell me lord what you wish to say, Speak to me Lord I earnestly pray!
Oh! My Lord why all these troubles? Why Oh Lord this burdened world? So much distress, poverty and hopelessness
Tell me Lord what you wish to say, Speak to me Lord I earnestly pray!
People turn from good to bad, And now it is so, that once all happy turned eternally sad;
Why Oh Lord, why is it so? Tell me Lord how I want to know!
Tell me Lord what you wish to say, Speak to me Lord I earnestly pray!
The youth of today have drowned in sin, hearts filled with filth and minds unclean; not polite in their speech nor their ways, due to life’s material no time for prayers!
Why Oh Lord do they have no time for you? Tell me Lord what I can do?
Tell me Lord what you wish to say, Speak to me Lord I earnestly pray!
No time for family, no time for prayer, no time for one another, no time to spare; No time for love, no time to care, no time to spend together. Life’s become a despair!
Why Oh Lord is it so? Tell me lord I want to know!
Answer me Lord as you did to your servant “Samuel”…
Tell me Lord what you wish to say, Speak to me Lord I earnestly pray!
Tell me Lord I’m still waiting…
Speak Lord I’m listening…

Long time supporter, and thought I’d drop a comment.
Your wordpress site is very sleek – hope you don’t mind me asking what theme you’re using?
(and don’t mind if I steal it? :P)
I just launched my site –also built in wordpress like yours– but the theme slows (!) the site down quite a bit.
In case you have a minute, you can find it by
searching for “royal cbd” on Google (would appreciate any feedback) – it’s still in the works.
Keep up the good work– and hope you all take care of yourself during
the coronavirus scare!
Thank you so much. A big learning process for me. Still learning…
