Begin to Serve

When I was created it was for what purpose?
When I sing Psalms and Songs where does it go to?
On my bended knees who do I look up to?
The one who's always Faithful even when am Unfaithful.
I was born to serve!

So I give thanks for your wondrous deeds;
the Sun, the Rain, the Moon, the Bliss.
Who am I that you care for me like this?
So much blessings everyday that I get swept off my feet.

I look to the mountains from where does my help cometh?
From you! My Omega and Alpha
who has been with me right from the offset.
What I needed you gave to me like I demanded Glucose
when trials come I pray not to lose the faith
cuz na u I wan follow.
Because.....I was born to serve!

With joy I cry out:
the earth filled gladness.
A day in your court I prefer,
as I serve in the sanctuary of your presence.
Prayers move Mountains but Praises move you.
So I give you my praises everyday times two. (x2)

Se owo anie anye ke akama 'nam asian. (one should be proud of whatever he possess)
Mme kpokomke fi mkpe kpokom anie? (If I don't praise you, who will?)
Iffa dy Bloom everyday e get why.
I have a very big God who's always by my side.
K' ni ndemerede ke usenbok nkud uwem mmi, ( As I wake to see a brand new day,)
It's a sign that you care for me.
Holocausts and offering you desire not.
What then shall I render?
My Praise!
I was born to serve!

As I serve,
am drawn nearer to you .
As I abide in thy word,
the more I get to know you.
As I ponder on your precepts little by little,
I get to know you love them;
those who are meek and gentle.
Jesus meek and humble of heart: make our hearts pure like thee.
Jesus meek and humble of heart: at my sins and faults do not frown.
Jesus meek and humble of heart: a contrite heart you will not spawn.
How do I make the clouds pregnant with praise?
The earth to shrink because I've seen your face?
The wind to breeze and blow the tress...........
Because............I want to serve!

Like a tree planted by the waterside;
It brings out its fruit in due season.
Because it serves you.
Like the one who follows not the counsel of the wicked
because they fear you, they succeed in everything that they do.
Like the one who finds joy in obeying and studying your Laws,
Day and Night, Season after Season.
They don't seem to be shaken;
they lack no blessing.
Like the one who is righteous, guided and protected by you
they don't seem to be like straw the wind blows away.

Ndien ami nyie ting mfon obong ke otu mme idut.
Mkpe ting mfon obong eyio ayekim, eyio esiere. ( Then I will tell of the wonders of the Lord among ye nations.
Day and Night would come, should I speak of the wonders of the Lord.)

Am blessed! Am blessed!! Am blessed!!!
As I go out and come in, am blessed!
In the city and in the field, am blessed!
Like the one who observes the Beatitudes, am blessed!
Like the one whose mind is free; one who hold grudges against no one, am blessed!
As I serve, am blessed!

I'm grateful for the variety of his creativity.
I could do this all day!
I count my blessings as I count my days.
I desire to want more of you as I strengthen my faith.
And so...........I Begin to Serve!!!
