DEATH BE NOT PROUD

by Funsho Olamigoke

IN HONOR OF
PASTOR BIMBO ODUKOYA

On the aftermath of your unexpected departure

Some have called you their ‘ANGEL’

The nation has mourned you and

Surely, so have your family and congregation

It actually turned out that you were an enigma

Loved by all irrespective

Everyone has a kind word to say

About you, Pastor Bimbo

Though painful, I dare say as it were

‘Death be not proud

Our Pastor Bim did all she had to do

She finished her race, so gallantly

In just 45 years here, 27 in the Ministries

It was, she knew she had time limited

She did everything like in a hurry

Mobile, she always and ever was

With utmost passion, she spoke from her heart

She touched folks like no one else ever did

Family relationships was her specialty

She went everywhere building bridges

She led folks to build homes full of treasures

Heavenly treasures, heavenly treasures

Death, you lost, Pastor Bimbo is at the Lord’s feet

Basking in glory, glory you’ll never ever know

Look back and you’ll see her now and again

That she lived and did almost everything in a hurry

The Angel that came, ran through her assignments

And left in a hurry like the CANDLE in the wind

Death, be not proud, be not proud

You have no hold on Abimbola Odukoya

She did all she had to do and now

Now, in her soul she is FOREVER free’
