GENUINE LOVER

I will never forget that day,
The day I met you.
I cant help but picture myself sitted on that bench
Minding my business.

Then you come by
And as if my life is any of your business,
You sit right next to me
And start sweet talking me.

Telling me of how you love me,
How you love me above all.
You even bring your father in our love affairs, like seriously
Anyway I let that one slip by.

I try to tell you that am take,
But the sweet aroma coming from your voice
Is so intoxicating.
Unlike him you do not speak of,

How you love me like a cup of tea,
Or how my body and beauty attracted me to you.
Instead, you tell me how you will make me beautiful,
How you are all I ever need.

And that your love for me attracted you to me.
So after all that sweet talk and chaffing me,
I say yes.
And here we are just you and me.

And we will be together, no matter the weather,
Cause you are my chitemwiko, iwe naine ni forever.
Though neze kumeka pa first,
But I have to confess;

Joy filled my heart the moment
I came into contact with your unfailing love.
They say love is blind
But your love,

Your love is sight.
Loving me so dearly despite my faults.
And whenever am with you I cant help but go down low for you.
In your arms I feel secure and protected.

And when you speak,
You speak to my soul.
Your words light my path.
I have searched many places looking for love.

Behold, I just ended up with that my ex.
I wish I met you sooner
Cause your love is unique.
Indeed you are the one for me.

Words can never be enough to describe your love.
Love that is willing to give up life for my sake,
Willing to face my death on my behalf.
You went through suffering and pain,

Piecing of nails on your palms,
That crown of thorns on your head,
All those beatings on an innocent soul,
Proving your passion for me.

And through that picture of your suffering on that cross
I came to know you.
Through all that blood you spelt that
The death of my soul can dwell among the living.

You allowed creation have dominion over you
So that the created may have dominion over sin.
Through your pain and anguish the door of life to my life
Was opened.

The barrier of death was broken.
And you did all this when I didn't recognize you,
When I was deep in the depth of sin
And I didn't care what you had to go through

That I may live today.
For my love for this world made me blind.
Indeed love is blind.
Cause now that am in love with you

Am blind to the things of this world.
Cause you the rejected stone
Became the cornerstone of my life, my pillar.
That now I stand strong and unshaken

Now tell me is this not genuine love?
Not a love full of lies and deception,
Or love that is temporal,
Here today and gone tomorrow.

Love portrayed by cheaters and gold diggers.
Their love is a mission,
Once their mission is over so is their love.
But the love that I share with my lover aren't so.

This is why every time I get down low and worship,
For his love is the joy of my soul.
Genuine love is Christ dying on the cross for my salvation.
So if you haven't met my lover, you haven't met love yet.
