NELSON MANDELA MY BLACK MOSES

To Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela my black moses
favoured by God from birth
born as an ordinary child like any other child
died and buried as hero of nations
preserved to be a corner stone for the people of south africa
mighty in words and deeds
offered deliverance to south african from the hands of aparthed
just like moses did to the children of israel
your life truly resemble and reflect the life of Moses
Nelson Mandela my black moses
you are our meddler, our hero, our father
a humble man beyond description
Nelson mandela our shield and spear
may the heavens sing a glorious song for you in heaven
Tata Nelson Mandela there’s no one like you.
May your soul rest in peace in the perfect hands of our Lord Jesus Christ
Nelson Mandela my black Moses.
