Here I Lie Poem by Okoronkwo Jonathan Jackson

For quick recovery I pray...
This is no play
Cos I lie in pain
Praying for His grace to rain
Upon me...upon all who lie sick
Let his mercy stick
And our troubled soul deliver
Not dependent on pain reliever
For we believers
have for long proven ourselves unbelievers
Through our doubtful action
Which create a faction
Between our faith and belief
Yet we rely on this hope of his relief
To vindicate us and show pity
In promise to hold on once again to his piety.

Here I lie in tears
Rolling in my fears
My heart heavy with tribulation
I do not know what it is with this detention
Like a prisoner to ailment
from whom shall come an encouraging comment
Yet I know for sure that my Redeemer lives
Which why Pray his grace never me leaves
My head pounds heavily upon me
Blur becomes the vision of all I see.
Deliver me O Lord from this I pray
For tomorrow and its need I do not pray
But that you keep me to see the end of today.

Here I lie
Remembering my loved ones
All I loved and Offended once
I fear not for I pass through
But my heart is clouded with fear I know it's true.
Keep them all in safe hands
That even as I pass through these strange lands
I shall again return to hold them in my bossom
Looking at their faces with smiles and cheerful blossom.

This is no just a poem
It is a lamentation of fear
A cry for prayers
Long years this I have not seen,
But lo!
It comes with threatening pain
And all I could see the end of a sorrow
To have a rest
While I dream never to wake
From here that I lie.
