TEARS OF PASSION FOR A HEAVENLY CALL
My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all the day,
Where is your God? Psalm 42:3
(To the tune of Spirit Divine attend our prayers..)
GLORIOUS AND AWESOME IT APPEARS
NOT OFTEN AS OUR PRAYERS
AND TREMBLING, ME I LOOK AND PAUSE
IN WITNESS OF GOD’S CAUSE
KNOWING LORD THIS IS YOUR BUSINESS
JOY MIXED WITH HEAVINESS
BEGS ME TO ASK, LORD WHO AM I?
MELTING MY HEART ONCE MORE
BECAUSE I AM INADEQUATE
TO THEE I GRAVITATE
SUBMISSIVELY MY TEARS FLOW
VICTORY CHRIST AVOW
THE CHARGE IS PLEASANTLY IMMENSE
FAITH TAKES ON ITS DEFENSE
GOD IN THE HEARTS WILL CARRY ME
OF ALL HIS TRUSTING ONES
WE ASK THE SOVEREIGN LORD HIMSELF
TO BLESS HIS WORK WITH FRUIT
MANIFOLD BLESSINGS GIVE IN BLISS
GLORY IN ALL BE HIS!

Penned by God’s grace after our own Kasango Kayombo’s ordination as Missionary Pastor of Ibex Hill Baptist Church, arising from a sense of the awesome seriousness of God’s charge to a pastor, nonetheless to me in regard to the heavenly call. This call must necessarily be expressed in God’s purpose for our lives while on earth mainly through active evangelism and missions.
To make the matter heavier, uncle George Sitali (elder) conducting the ordination also squeezed out the sense of inadequacy and failure in my support, and a fresh huge and solemn responsibility towards missionaries and missions by the charge given to the church. I shed tears way before our brother Kasango said those moving words with befitting meekly tears.
Dear brethren, it was a glorious Sunday with triple blessings; from the ordination into the Word, through to the “grand announcement” of our support to missions. God visibly manifested His glory, power, gracious goodness and blessing to KBC! The Lord is indeed amazing and miraculous!!! I was simply and still am blown away. It does not happen always.
