LORD

Kenneth Nkhukuzalira

Narrative
I am broken and in tears buried
All my friends got married
Am hopeless and worried
Keeping crying day and night
Lord, give me light

They said I will not make it
They tell me "just quit"
My family and friends have run away
How am I going to survive everyday?
Lord, prove them wrong

Lord, You are wonderful
In You I trust alone
Though my family and friends are gone
With You I lack none
You are always beside me
