Looking back as one becomes two

I made it through

the time has passed

the long hours and days

the challenges overcome

the obstacles knocked away

I didn’t stray

I saw it through

I stayed the course

Committed, convicted

Till the end I did

No giving up, no quitting

No walking away,

No question about it

No doubt in my mind

I was there to push on

I was there to pursue

I was there to achieve more than I knew

I was there to see it through

I prayed before cos I knew

It was more than I could do

Too much to bear

The burden too big

One needed to be two

This army ahead blocking my way

Advancing towards me every day

So I prayed for my one to be two

For a friend to stay true

And then there by my side

We were now two

My friend, he said

Step forward with me

Hold the line

Stay true

We will win through

We continue to push on

Day by day

Side by side

Battling through

Outnumbered

Surrounded

We two were like glue

Hold the line

Stay true

We will win through

Our war cry our chant

Till we broke through

Keep moving on

My friend he said

Don’t stop, don’t rest

There is more to still do

A wall ahead blocking the way

Towering above into the sky

Stretching out far and wide

Keep moving on

My friend he said

Like this, follow me

As he climbs up and away

I follow on

After him up the wall

Following close

Holding tight to not fall

Keep moving on

My friend he said

We will win through

We can scale this wall

Don’t stop, don’t rest

There is more to still do

Slowly and surely

We go up the wall

Higher and higher

We climb us two

The ground below us falls away

Disappears behind clouds in the way

Keep moving on

The refrain in my head

Won’t let me quit

Won’t let me rest

My friend he said

Just one more step

We made it us two

We have won through

I am with you my friend, he said

Wherever you go

I am there by your side

I was there all the way through

I never gave up

I never let go

I never walked away from you

I saw you in pain

In tears and in grief

I was there in the depths of despair

The dark nights of unbelief

And questioning why them and not me

I was there

Day by day

Standing side by side

I was there all along

So looking ahead to whatever you face

I am there through it all

We will face it together

Be it health or disease

Loss or defeat

Grief or despair

Doubt or unbelief

Be it shame or running away

Be it fear or guilt that you face

Blood, sweat and tears it will take

More than you have you will plead

But I am the I am

I have all that you need

As the I becomes we

And the me turns to us

The one becomes two
So please listen up

Wherever you are on your journey of life

Facing an army ahead

Or battling through in the midst of it all

Looking up at a wall

Facing something so big

You think you might quit

So take stock or take heed

Take the encouragement you need

From these words that you read

Just remember it’s not only you

It’s never a one and always a two

My friend, my King, My God and yours too

He says to us all

Keep moving on

There is more to still do

Hold the line

Stay true

We will win through
