Never Again Poem by Khethiwe Ndlovu

I guess it's true,
you never really know
you're in the dark
until you see the light.

You'll never really know you've been blind
Till you can see
You'll never really know you've been lost till you're found.
You'll never really know you've been in chains till you're free.

Father, I'm grateful you took the wheel for my journey,
because the enemy, he was lurking.
Waiting...waiting...waiting
for me to trip and lose myself in my pain.
But that's when you touched me.
I was never the same again.

Your love fell from the heavens.
Took me in with all my imperfections.
Got rid of all my infections,
because Lord I was infected.
With all my unforgivable sins.
But you forgave me.For me God, your Son was rejected.
He lost so I may win.
For that I'll never be the same again.

I'm not implying that I am a saint.
I'm far from that,
but with you I know I'll make it.
Greater is he who is in me
than he who is in the world,
and Lord you're in me.
Now there's something different within me
A force, because I'm not a woman, but a force of nature.
Like a hurricane, a tornado I'll capture
your word and breath and live it
because in the beginning was your word,
and with your breath you designed me, from dust and his rib.
So its clear that I wasn't made to be just ordinary
but to never be the same again

Use me, mould me, change me, lead me.
So the rest of the world can see
The power of your only begotten.
A Godly Princess I am, an absolute ten.

Never again will I be the same
