Tis Prayer I Pray Poem by Vagi Samuel Jnr

Shake off the dust from gloomy yesterday
Glorious waters of grace awaits my bath
Mercy shall put on me a fresh garment then
Knitted in love like the blue sky I see today

Have me the food that my heart delights in
Fruits from the gospel that feeds my spirit
Defend the sagging walls within my mind
So my soul shall be guarded from evils trick

Not alone shall I thread in absent places
Mountains that steal light from dark valleys
Be it the stormy rains serving drought plains
The great giver of life shall my mouth praise

Let me meet him who renews me everyday
An encounter beyond life come what may
He listens to all my pleas that my tears play
Tis prayer I pay to invest in another new day
