In this final installment of posts from our 2013 graduates, Molefi Mosiuoa penned this poem entitled, “ACC, The Alma Mater of My Growth” to tell of his personal transformation at African Christian College.
Molefi is from Lesotho and completed a Bachelor of Theology degree with a double-minor in Ministry and Leadership.
ACC, the alma mater of my growth My life was a wonderment of truth Passionate for God’s secrets Like a hungry angry hunting lion began my search The year 2011 was the hour Expectations overwhelming my oblongata ACC, the alma mater of my growth Diverse African tongues in harmony they chat Joy is the flag of the castle of their hearts Love is their daily bread Peace showers like the summer rain Like an ocean in the desert Christ is their last name The identity of our character ACC, the alma mater of my growth As a potter potters his pot I was crafted Behind the pulpit with fear I started my speech Like an alien in the Eskimo land I trembled But ACC turned my tragedies into inspiring triumphs My dreams into exciting achievements ACC, the alma mater of my growth My luggage is overflowing with wisdom Knowledge has humbled my soul The gospel has become the front page of my news letter From worry the warrior I become From victory to victor Cry to grace Mess to message Trials to triumphal ACC, the alma mater of my growth I was drowning in the ocean of illusion Sealed with the aged doctrine Desire for understanding was not making a little noise in my mind I was held captive of the former way Locked in the prison of the so called doctrine Words worth not my gratitude ACC, you changed my being ACC the alma mater of my growth
