THE ORACLE

 

The blessed day has come, 
When heaven is at ease with zion, 
To reanoint an Oracle, 
For the spiritual battles ahead. 

Many are called to priesthood, 
But he is divinely anointed, 
To do the biddings of the Master, 
Whose body, earth could not hold.

His ordination is a divine call, 
In Jalingo Diocese,
To bear witness to Christ, 
And disband the forces of darkness. 

The Shepherd of St. Mary\'s Catholic Church Wukari, 
Whose sermons permeate hearts, 
And lead faithful sinners to Christ, 
And choke their covenants with Ekwensu. 

Today we rejoice with him Padre, 
For being a blessing to many, 
Hearts and lips are at war in prayers, 
For Cidon to grace him with long life, 
Like Methuselah.
