Analysis of Why lord why
Kenneth. G. NKHUKUZALIRA 1996 (ntcheu)
Lord, how long should I wait?
Indeed a destiny is a journey decided by fate
Decades have gone since I got married
Still there is no fruit in my lap
My hands still holding a broken cup
Why Lord why?
Lord, where is your face?
Many people have testified about Your grace
Forty years working but no promotion
All my visions and ambitions lost motion
Where is my dream and portion?
Why Lord why?
Lou are faithful on your promises
Though our faith can break to pieces
At last You will wipe our sorrows
Dressing us in Your gown and glory
Narrating to Your people on how we made it
As in Your kingdom next to you we will sit
