What I Have I Give You
by Nellie Shani From birth he had never walked Quite used to being mocked With withered muscles Great and many struggles As he grew older His requests became bolder Not a penny to his name Begging ceased to be a shame Carried to the temple gate called Beautiful Since his state was quite pitiful Thought silver and gold he needed Boosting self-esteem which receded Twas noon time bright and shiny Thought the religious had lots of money Saw them and extended his hand Hoping on it some silver to land Eyes of his givers never his did meet Content for coins to fall at his feet But two men said look at us Thought his fortune has come at last Said silver and gold we do not have Did not know why he did not laugh Why would they stop to mock him Life was hard enough on him Looked straight into his eyes As if offering something nice What we have give us unto you Better than silver and gold tis true In the name of Jesus of Nazareth walk Seemed this was no idle talk As Peter took him by the hand Strength to his feet did land His ankles and feet became strong That he would never ever walk was wrong Jumping to his feet up and down he walked As Jews around him truly truly gawked Then Jumping and leaping and praising God Who alone is ever worthy to be Lord All glory honor majesty and praise Who from the grave and tomb was raised Nellie Odhuno Shani is a Counselor, Conference speaker and writer.
