Okeke Emmanuel (25th November,1976 / Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria.)
I May Be Shy
I may be shy
Not with the Lord by my side
I feel more like a Prince
With the King most high by my side
I may be shy
Not with the words of courage I seek in the bible
No strength so soothing as those words
Still reechoes in my mind anywhere I go
I may be shy
Not with your son you sent to save us from sins and torment
No better way to express my joy
Just a look at his old rugged cross, is all I need
I may be shy
Not with the delicious meals you provide for me
Non compares to the nourishment I derive from it
I can raise my head high before my friends anyday
I may be shy
Though at the face of difficulties
Those special advice and courage I’ve found in you
Would see me through, at times like this
I may be shy
But a reminder that I’ ve got someone special in you
Keeps me going strong, in body and spirit
I know I’ve surely found a true friend for sure in you
