THOU ART LORD

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

(For the Rev Achowah Umeni)

O King of the entire universe
Let your love flow down in reverse
Thou art the most nigh
Thou who knowest our remotest thoughts
Forgive us our torts
Thou art our strength
For to thee we pay no rent
So stand behind us
So that on D-Day we can come without fuss.
