COUNT IT ALL JOY
Wayfarer!
Count it all joy
When only thou is found to push the boat into the water;
When only thou rolls the boat with your strength
Seeking its stability and sure arrival
But all fingers say that's a man who's alone.
Take ease and count it all joy.
Be appropriate with it seafarer
When your ship now afloat is what all mankind joins
Becoming pregnant with people is much diversities to be faced
You must carry them all like a father
And bear them all like a mother
You must endure them like Moses
And bring them water from the hard rock
In all these I pray for you
May no bone of yours be ever broken
Count it all joy O sought out!
If the things of life you're not always availed
If your blanket be torn and your shoes worn out
Be comforted of being His to see or cease
Count it all joy if your good is evil spoken of
And men evil entreat you
Weep no more
You're sharers in the prophets' fate and reward
Count it all joy if at the hour of temptation
'tis then only your salvation appears as a beacon of light
Heralding itself with no hampering
And staying on your very roof
That's the Lord's doing that suffices us
Verily marvellous is it in our sight
Olusola ADEJUMO,
M'Wings.
