Power Hungry Lyrics

I had travelled away from home

Sent on a specific errand

On the pursuit of wisdom, knowledge and understanding

Sponsored to master the basics of my profession

And so returning with a Medal of Honor was my intention

Passage of time introduced me to a new world all together

Sunrise and sunset made the campus narrow, bringing us all together

New friends being made in the process

A by-product of the pursuing process

Producing a professional being the main aim; an end product of the flipping pages Process

However, this ain't a story about me nor my profession

But rather someone I met on my errand, a professional

This time around, my brother would agree "she was more than an alternative"

God was silent, but if He had spoken, "He would have said No!" My ears being attentive

The blue sky fled her presence, seeing she was accompanied by clouds that were angry

This time around, she was but Power Hungry!

I wasn't searching for it, but honestly, I had lost my mind the day I first saw her

Trust me when I say she was lovely to behold, I Mwalabu is living proof

Yet unlike David, at the time I saw her, I wasn't on the roof

And unlike Bathsheba, she was fully dressed at the time my eyes met hers

She brought me at a crossroads the day she crossed my path; honestly, I almost lost my Way and took hers

I had to find out why I got so attracted, the power of her attraction left me in a puzzle

In my search, I discovered something more than just a missing piece to the puzzle

In quest of reasons, wondering why she seemed so strong as to pull down my entire

Defense system

God opened my eyes and I knew what I saw was more than just a daydream

I knew she was up to something, something I had to figure out in the Spiritual Realm

Then I learnt that when the opportunity was given, she quickly grabbed it by the wings

Her name being the song that everyone sings

On her quest for higher ranking, she was more than ready to pursue an innocent soul

Perhaps not so innocent in her camp; for looking at him, enmity is all they saw

Always standing in their way; proclaiming Christ Jesus, the name they hated most

And so when the request was made, "Whom shall we send?"

She quickly gave a positive response; being aware of the reward success would attract

She was more than ready to be used to attract, to attack

She's the girl when it comes to the Nile

Knowing how best to lay waste of all the Nile's enemies, heaping them all in a pile

She was more than qualified for this post

More than prepared to bring back what was lost

Victory! Victory in their camp, is what was needed most

With the ball in her court she couldn't do otherwise but kick it right through the goal posts

She was more than ready to bare the mission's costs

I guess Balaam couldn't curse God's child again

And so she had to arise, a daughter of the Moabites & the Midianites, going against the Grain

Ready to entice God's child towards worldly interests & pleasures

Inflaming his inbred lust, enhancing sin's pressures

Knowing he couldn't be hurt by any enchantment

But by worldly interests and pleasures being the source of his enticement

This wasn't another play, yet she decided to put on her most belovèd costume

We happened to be serving together in my master's house, the day my nose learnt the Smell

Of her perfume

She left me wondering, "what assignment the Lord's angel was on"

Everyone around me, being blind, would agree; her light was on; she was shining so Bright

Proving the Scriptures true, "for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light."

Her strategy was to get as close as she could to her prey

Since he was a church guy, she had to look as one who knew how to pray

Drawing his attention away from God, turning black and white into grey

She knew it was just a matter of time before he would embrace her and like music, freely Play

She would have ascended in ranking; he would have surely, like an antelope in the lion's Hands, fallen prey

If I didn't think about why on earth I was failing to resist this strong strange attraction

It would have been just a matter of time before I gave her my entire attention

I would've given in to her devices, standing like a soldier each time she shouted "attention!"

I knew she was up to something and so "Lord help me!" was my repeated petition

Staying away from her being my resultant decisive decision

I wrote this for all my brothers who are diligently pursuing righteousness, driven by the Desire for purity

Please open your eyes and don't be quickly taken away like a culprit

Attraction might at times be automatic, but don't let get romantic

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding

Some of these ladies are demonic, ready to pull down whoever they find standing

Loving her ain't no different from loving Delilah

Someone the Philistine lords can easily hire to strip you of your strength

Punishing you, for all the chaos you'll have caused, in depth

Rewarding you with a chain of afflictions till the day you meet your death

Wiping the remembrance of your name entirely from planet earth

Therefore, I urge you to open your ears and listen to Matthew Henry, trusting his sincerity

The wicked's friendship is more dangerous than their enmity

And please don't start hating him; don't be put off when he says from within

Those are our worst enemies who draw us to sin

For that is the greatest mischief any man can do us; half avoided is a danger foreseen

I wrote this for the lady I met

Perhaps with my few words she would be brought to regret

For when I first met her, a friend she had promised to be

And I was more than ready to accept her request, without having any plan B

Thinking God had provided someone to help me serve Him better, perhaps my wife to Be!

But if a friend you truly were

Why did you have to plant a million land mines?

When you knew pretty well that the entire field simply had your body and mine

And worst still, your body was the only one that was mine proof?

I couldn't however, sue you as an enemy; your pretty adorable smile left me without Proof

I guess you're not different from my master's betrayer after all

Someone so ungrateful; deciding to trade Christ, after all, all that He had done for him

Embracing Christ Jesus with a kiss, yet swords and knives were coming right after him

A friend he had been and a friend he should have been

A sister you had promised to have been yet a traitor is who you really were and would Have Been

I pray on your wicked pursuit, like the Apostle Paul, light shine upon your path

May God be merciful and His loving kindness quench His Holy Wrath

Through the blood of His Precious and Blameless Lamb, may He reconcile you to Himself

Turning you away from your wicked thoughts and unrighteous ways

Till His power becomes you relentless pursuit, causing the next generation proclaim in Different ways

She was, but Power Hungry!
