Verse 1


Prayer O pilgrim

Prayer O lonely traveler

The echo of just men;

Strangers and exiles on the earth

Follow the footprints,

Go where the witnesses have gone 

Your God is before you --

El-Shama; He hears you.


Verse 2


Prayer in weakness,

Prayer when flesh and friends may fail

When misery bends you,

And groaning becomes your melody

Remember the garden, 

Where your savior travailed in agony

Your God is before you --

El-Sali; He bears you.


Verse 3


Prayer in waiting,

Prayer when heaven holds your rain

In weeping and watching 

The sorrow of harvest that delays

Hope is an anchor;

Wait for the laughter of the Lord 

Your God is before you --

El-Nacham; He soothes you.


Verse 4


Prayer in battle,

Prayer when raiders lie in wait

If hell should encamp you,

If legions connive to do you harm,

The Lord is your fortress;

No weapon against you shall prevail

Your God is before you --

El-Ma'oz; He hides you.


Verse 5


Prayer in victory,

Prayer when all the answers come

When chariot and rider,

Are drowned in the triumph of your God

Praise Him in earnest

Forsake not the one who did you good

Your God is before you --

Eliezer; He helps you.


Verse 6:


Prayer O pilgrim

Prayer O feeble mortal man 

The journey before you

Is taking you paths you've never walked

So tarry in prayer;

Quench not the voice that bids you come

Your God is before you --

El-Qara; He calls you.

Actress Bimbo Afolayan places generational curses on all those that labelled her 'poor' and advised her to get a better house for her mum. According to her, her mum was beaten up by the Chairman of the Landlord Association in the area for refusing to pay bill on her house since they were not carrying out their responsibilities. She cried out for justice to be served. Some men are just so irresponsible and heartless to lay hands on a woman talk more of a woman with a grandchild. Some people seriously need to learn more about respect.
