Raise me up
Echerue Benedicta 1988 (Imo State)
When in my dark nights
wallowing in thoughts,
tears of anguish and despair
When in the midst of storm
raving like a lunatic
under the spell of loneliness
and soullessness craving the
warmth of your arms
When my heart aches
yet hunts for happiness
and tenderness
When my aspirations
and dreams seems to be
on the verge of manifesting
yet stumbling
Hold me closely that I may
feel the meekness of your heart
and fill my brim with your ravishing
words of hope, love and peace
and set me up to the sky
where my limit is limited
