Spiritual Reflection

Don't get caught in all the 'must-haves' you see
That you forget the meaning of your life that was meant to be
Praising & living abundantly - in humility
"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he"
To keep away from darkness is your self-security
To be washed by His blood, to bring out new purity
To abide & believe, He delights indeed
To be a follower of the LORD & believe the unseen
The flesh that we live in is just a shell
But it keeps working against us, dragging down to hell
Sins try to keep us trapped, locked up in a cell
Even the minor ones that you can't tell
When we keep allowing them, we're left under a spell
A spell of darkness we need to repel
"God knows how weak we are", so He sends an angel
He wants the best for us, for us all to excell
In the greats, in the pain, even when we fell

We're just a prayer away. When they hear us, the angels are silent
To listen for the problems - they don't like the violence
That's in our hearts & minds, feeling like we're away from His prescence
But to know He's still around? That's the greatest present
When you hear the truth, He's speaking out from Heaven
Don't ignore His words, just listen in & tell 'em
There's a warning that comes down if you refuse the wisdom
Walking the path that leads away from His Kingdom
"My bretheren, be strong in the LORD"
Wear the full armour of God, the Word is your sword
It doesn't really matter what can/can't afford
Give your best of the time, trust & love to The One who's big & bold
Live out the new things, don't just repeat & record
It's the action that you take that breaks down the walls
Keep doing what God asks & listen out for His calls
The calls that are for you.. Don't ignore them or keep them on record

You can't recognise yourself being wrapped up in anger
Makes you feel like things won't get any better
Falling off the ladder
Getting eveen sadder
When you can't let go, it only makes you madder
Let Him fill you up with His Holy Spirit & fire
He'll re-ignite your life for that one true desire
Nothing's bigger than God - He's wayy mightier
"Faith is the substance for things hope for
The evidence of things not seen" - To receive more
But not only that, also to give more
Walking with Christ in faith, to help you soar
He'll never give you more than you can endure
He's always checking up on you, for yourself to be sure
That if anything happens, you'll be knocking on His door
Even if you fall, His love keeps us from the floor

Continue to praise
Seek His face
Let Him be your First Place
Because He gave us mercy & grace
God'll never make it hard, like some wild goose-chase
Run to Him now! To His embrace
The One made both Time & Space
Just keep it real & do whatever it takes
It might take a while, but try to be happy now
You have God's love. Let's make others know it somehow
All of His wonders leave me in a "WOW"
We can't allow certain events to leave us in doubt
As soon as that mindsets kicks in, just kick it back out
Only God, we're nothing without

Look after one another & let God look after you
Prayer's a key tool & I hope He lives in you
Please keep walking, 'cause our God is talking
Keep the faith strong & confide in the Father & King
He died for us, that we may be free
He gave us the joy to live life abundantly
Let God help you finish what was started
Share what you can to the lost & broken-hearted

My Appeal

This is my Appeal & I want to reach out to you
About something that I deeply encourage you to do
Yes, it's about Jesus. I want you to know the truth
So it's going out to everyone. I hope it touches you
You're seeking happiness & love in material things
Even the one that are immoral things
But I encourage you now to be reading the Word
What God us to say & do, I'm making some of it heard
Yes, I say some because others have been done
We're all reaching out through God's call, one-by-one
Trust in the Lord. Trust & believe
Don't let it be something that just rubs off your sleeve

You think it's not your thing? No, that's not true
The Bible is for everyone, so how could it miss you ?
Right throughout the Book, there's many things on love
The love we can show. Jesus does that too - Beautiful like a dove
Our lives on here are gifts from above
The Word can be our sword when things get rough
He's trying to touch your heart, so please let Him in
Believe in His teachings & turn away from the pointless things
Jesus is always there to cast your troubles out
Because He doesn't like it when all you do is cry or shout
Or be hurting each other with deeds or actions that destroy one another
Jesus loves us all, that we're strong together
Remaining as one for as long as forever
Why keep with fighting when we can be united
With our Saviour? Let's not be imparted
Break out from all this & just come to Him
Because He DIED for us, that we may be free from sin
That's where the true love begins

You have the power to change, but you can't do it alone
So just take up the chance & don't become exposed
To the breaks & the pains that'll try to destroy you
The Lord's waiting for you now, allow Him to help you
Accept Him in your life & apply His teachings
For by reading & applying comes multiple blessings
So learn to forgive, to pray, to guide, to help
To be free, to be changed. Not broken, or by yourself

He wants to lead you with peace in your hearts
To help change your life, so that real happiness & strength starts
Allow yourself to come to Him]To be savedby His grace from a future that's dim
Everyone wants to be a blessing or inspiring
So be lead by the one of examples & apply
That when trouble is coming, you won't be in a rage or cry

Let your eyes be kept on the road ahead
Make your destination Christ. Human desires are dead
He'll save you from trials when you put Him in control
We're not here forever, but Jesus individually decides our next home
Whatever we dream, eventually we may get
But if they're not of Christ, change them to Him instead
The answers are found in His Word
That when you study, meditate & apply, the light is by your side
Fight the temptatiojns of this earth
To gain the best from our Father, with much greater worth


This poem is based on a couple of scriptures which I thought would be good for me to include in this. Yes, you can't see Jesus. But that doesn't mean He doesn't exist. Ephesians 3: 20 says that, "God can do... far more than you could ever imagine". If you just have faith in Him, you're going to get way better than you initially thought in your life! And then we have Proverbs 11: 14 - This scripture tells us on the things that we THINK are harmless enough. But then, it leads straight to hell. So you may not believe in Heaven or hell. But there is a Day of Judgement where you'll stand before God. What then will you say? No excuses will be accepted. The same goes for me & EVERYONE else! But eternal life lies in those who live to do God's will, which is Matthew 7: 21. The Bible is the truth. The Lord is the Way, the Truth & the Life! Be united with Christ & see the change in your life!

Awakened

This one was inspired by Beckah Shae's "I'm Beautiful". Hope you enjoy. Bless :)

The way You comfort us
They way You keep us safe from harm
You're looking over us
You protect us like a charm
You saved us from pain
When we think of You, our Spirits want to sing
The love of You, we hope to gain
Of course my Lord, you're everything
You never cease to amaze
You helped us reach all of our goals.. We just can't hide our praise

I had a dream & it came true
I'm awakened because of You
What can't You do - You made our lives so brand new
We acknowledge that You are so perfect
We're excited for the works that You'll do next
And yes my Lord, we'll wait for You just for Your return

My Brothers in Christ
Leading by example to keep me strong
My Sisters in Christ
They did the same, told me to hold on
You bless with power
That we might stand tall & live to do Your will
We seek to feel Your prescence now
We hear Your voice & we will be still
You never cease to amaze
You helped us reach all of our goals.. You set our Spirits ablaze

I had a dream & it came true
I'm awakened because of You
What can't You do - You made our lives so brand new
We acknowledge that You are so perfect
We're excited for the works that You'll do next
And yes my Lord, we'll wait for You just for Your return

We bow to You Lord. Your Word is our sword
And when we get hurt, by grace we are healed
Jesus, we do know that You're the only way to go
Keep us tight in Your love. We give You all control

I had a dream & it came true
I'm awakened because of You
What can't You do - You made our lives so brand new
We acknowledge that You are so perfect
We're excited for the works that You'll do next
And yes my Lord, we'll wait for You just for Your return

Focus

So many want to be fixed to You
And help other be fixed on You, too
We should be fixed onto You, the True
Feeling fresh each day, like the morning dew
I don't want to leave them without a clue
I can't let them fail, 'cause they haven't found You
If I was their friend, then I would attempt to
Tell them more of You. Let them know, that You again are true
I don't want to wait for the time to come
For them to take back all of the fun
They made against You, our Father's Son
I know it's not too late. That's why I look to the sky
After all of those attempts, I'm not just going to say "Why?"
They need to know You, therefore I will always try
So they surrender to You. So they'll never need to sadly cry
No matter what's being said, I shall never give in
Even if the friendship is hanging thin
I'll gladly trade it all for them to know Him
But I can only try so hard to stop a future being dim

Ima keep my eyes on You, 'cause You always know what to do
You what my intentions are, where I want to head to
I won't be taken off! I know I'll always need You
I've given everything to You.. But I don't know what they'll do
It kinda hurts, when they're saying Your Name..
Only when they go to say it in vain
Misusing it's power, "I don't care" they proclaim
But this is just one mission - My focus is in the game
I'm looking at one point, like my journeys on a train
I've received many blessings. It's their turn to gain
It won't be something to drive them insane
And Your name will no longer be used just to entertain
I'm keeping my focus, right on the Glorious
If we can't follow You, what'll become of us ?
It's getting harder each time.. But in God, we trust
They'll give over to You, before the time's up
Their lives shouldn't be corrupt, anger shouldn't have to erupt
Bring shalom! Let nothing interrupt
What His name will bring. May You & ourselves never be cut

We can only try so hard, but it shows that we're strong
We know what we're doing. We were your friends all along
We tell you the truth! But you sang the same song
Of contradiction & refusal. Just share our shalom
We were to be saved from the day Jesus was born
The way God loved us, we could never be torn
Why mock God? Why send up all the scorn ?
It isn't cool for insults to be worn..
All around you. Just ask yourself where you're going
We're doing our best to help you, to get you knowing
All good deeds through Him.. You'll reap what you're sewing
From the inside to the outside, you'll always be glowing
True joy is from Jesus. From inside you won't burn
Then when you see pain, you'll know it's your turn
To pray it away from all. Great blessing you'll earn
Trying to think of excuses against Jesus & God is no longer your concern

It's easy to be confused, 'cause we're hearing different things
But keep a strong mind & keep your love like rings
Just like Jesus, because His love never ends
He'll never give you more than you can handle. That's what He intends
Not to apply pressure, but strong focus on our Saviour
It won't hurt you hard like a careless out of control razor
People will look up to you. You'll be an inspireror*
Through Him, you'll earn every good thing you desire
It can't be stressed enough - Love Him ENTIRELY
Watch how everything becomes how it's supposed to be
Allow Him to take control & then you'll see..
All God's got planned for you. You'll be blessed abundantly
Obstacles will come in this race you'll run
So don't just do things because it "seems fun"
God'll help you overcome & says the words "Well done !"
And it'll all happen because you focused on Jesus, God's Son
The 19th book of New Testament, read Hebrews 11
Keeping the faith alive is just one factor of Heaven
Believe in Jesus. Believe that He is risen
Keep Him in your heart & mind to overcome temptation
These tests you get through make up your Testimony
Read, study & apply the Word. Don't be a phony
Keep in touch with God to receive all His glory
Pass it on to others.. Life can be more than a story

Love & Unity pt. 2

With God, we'll take the next step together
We'll go to the end & remain as one forever
I don't want you to ever give up
I have never dreamt for you to be stuck
As long as you've got the chance to keep moving up
I know that you're blessed, so I wish you the best of luck
God's given you strength & He's given you friends
But keep God as number 1 even after the end
I've got your back. If we argue, let's make amends
God's got you too. Letting you down is never what He intends

Never give up on your dreams or ambitions
God, my friend, made you a special edition
Maintaining hope for them increases the chances for them to happen
But keep the treasures pure store those in Heaven
Pain is something that's only temporary
But hope is something that can go on forever
Love is something that's completely amazing
But don't play about with the blessings you're given..
..That's something that isn't clever

I'll do my best to be there, walking with you
But God is watching over, whatever you do
No matter what happens, don't forever be sad
Keep your mind positive that you'll always stay glad
You can't ever believe that you're a failure
You're still living because you have a Saviour
But you have to call on Him. Let yourself be cleansed
There will be rough times, but there's always a solution to them
Keep your head up and keep on going
Because right through you, His light & glory is showing

Life is important... Do the right things and be grateful
For the good times that you've had. Be insightful
Once you put God in control, you'll keep standing strong
Don't be 'independent' all the time or you won't be standing for long
"Stand firm in your faith, or you won't stand at all"
Isaiah 7:9. That's just one of many more
Of how you should apply to keep yourself walking
I wish all the best for you, so take a bit more reflecting

To man, some things may be impossible
But to God? Everything is possible
So what's the need to worry? Just send it to our daddy
If He thinks you can cope, He'll give it to you gladly
I've got much love for you, my Brothers
There's something special in all of you
I've got much love for you too, my Sisters
You have a great purpose too

With God, we'll take the next step together
We'll go to the end & remain as one forever
I don't want you to ever give up
I have never dreamt for you to be stuck
As long as you've got the chance to keep moving up
I know that you're blessed, so I wish you the best of luck
God's given you strength & He's given you friends
But keep God as number 1 even after the end
I've got your back. If we argue, let's make amends
God's got you too. Letting you down is never what He intends

Love & Unity pt. 1

To God, originally this was a letter
Just to say what could be better
To ask for the guidance of the Lord, our Saviour
To reach out to those who are living in danger
To fight against the darkness, like the Texas Ranger
For those who cannot move
Thier hands & feet, they cannot use
May we be brought together by You
May their hearts not remain bruised
May they know who is the Truth
Not to be locked inside a mental booth
The Words from Your Word, they will include
That they may never have anyone to exclude
They have to be restored
They have to strive for more
We can't let them hurt themselves, saying "I can't do this anymore!"
But God, we know that You are sure
That Your love will continue to endure
We know for sure that You're no bore
And we know that we are Yours

Let's bring out the light, that's a pure sight
May we walk into Your delight
Let's not be scared, or be in a fright
Let's make the best of what some are doing on bad nights
Let's bring out the love, sent down from above
That we know is just as pure as a dove
Let's not push, let's not shove
Let's be united - Let help each oth ...

...Er. For some, it can't be done. What's going wrong ?
We do our best, we went through that test
But it's making our day long
Some just sing that lonely song
I don't mean the one made by Akon
From the outside, they're looking like "dons"
But then inside? ( BUZZER ) That's wrong
This isn't how they wan to be
We know they desire to be free
That their life should always be happy
Descend on them. Say, "Come with me"
The people feel so small
Being kicked about like some ball
It's just them inside their empty hall
But God, I say now, we can't just let them fall
'Cause we should all be United for Your call
Let's not raise a fist when it comes to this - God, we need You more

Let's bring out the light, that's a pure sight
May we walk into Your delight
Let's not be scared, or be in a fright
Let's make the best of what some are doing on bad nights
Let's bring out the love, sent down from above
That we know is just as pure as a dove
Let's not push, let's not shove
Let's be united - Let help each oth ...

...Er. I still can't properly finish it
Our faith is being tested
Our patience getting messed with
We should use the best of our blessings
Love is one of Your requests
United together? We need to do our best
No matter what may be the next test
Don't let us be shallow... We need to help the rest
We have those children, inside & outside
Crying & crying! They look for places to hide
God, it's not from You. You didn't decide
It to be this way. By Your love, we shall abide
I'm refusing to stay ahead...
And leave someone else going to bed
Repeating the words 'why' in their head
In despair. From good things, they now have fled
We should be together
United with our prayers
With You, it will get better
We love You, Great Creator

Let's bring out the light, that's a pure sight
May we walk into Your delight
Let's not be scared, or be in a fright
Let's make the best of what some are doing on bad nights
Let's bring out the love, sent down from above
That we know is just as pure as a dove
Let's not push, let's not shove
Let's be united - Let help each other !

Just One Thought

Just one thought needs to enter our minds
Something that totals up the glee inside
That one thought will always help us decide
What next we really want to do in our lives
That one thought fires up our determination
That one thought fires up our acceleration
To our choices.. We can make a declaration
That the best thoughts after will be reality
The Spirit is there.. Inside you & me
Who knows? That just one thought could help us make history
We should only aim for the best. The way that it should be
Just one thought can make us strong
That thought is The One that was with us all along
We need to bring up hopes. Help those who think or do wrong
It ain't cool to leave one behind, since we're all born to be Champions
Just one thought can fill up our soul
That one thought is of The One who's in control
Who ever said that we shouldn't dream large ?
Keep focused on the goals, & you shouldn't be barged
From all our thoughts, because He knows He's in charge
None of us our mad, so it isn't gonna remain a mirage

Just one thought can push us to the limit
It's a test that leads to a plan.. We gotta be on it
Be in the faith & be vigilant like Sonic
Attacking the roots of our problems.. Let's not be thick
Just one thought can take us to the top
Takes us all the way, going hard like a rock
Don't care if that's a "fail".. I'm not gonna stop
We didn't come this far to make a real big flop
Just one thought can turn into visions
In our hearts, that thought has made incisions
We know that life is full of decisions
That one thought is of God, of whom we shouldn't make divisions
Some learn lessons hard. Some can get it straight
You wanna make a change? Sure! It's not too late
Give your full devotion. You only pass one gate
Learn about independence.. You shouldn't always follow "mates"
Just one thought tells us who we are
That thought is of who made the Sun, the Moon, Earth & the stars
All of the cars, jewelry, clothes - They shouldn't matter

That one thought helps us set our goals
It always reminds us of The One who's in control
I've given my life to Him. I gladly trade it all
For His love & mercy.. Although I don't really deserve it at all
That one thought has made me who I am
I aiming to be the best I can. I know that I ain't "kalam"
There's so much I'm aiming for, but I know I can
That thought is fixed. For God, I'm a big fan
I don't intend to fall back now I have just that one thought
God helped me fight. To Him, my sacrifices, I brought
By "fight", I mean in Spirit. By the darkness, we can't be caught
But that doesn't really mean that we're clear from future faults
That one thought should be there in our hearts
When it's fixed there, we can never break apart
From God's love. Let's not keep it to ourselves
Let's reach to those crying out for something. Let's give them the help

Pride

We don’t see it, but it enters like an open door
You heard the stories, but jheez - it can do much more
It’s taking over quick.. It grips you like a claw
The way it traps us, it’s liked we’re pinned down to the floor
It can destroy.. It changes you an instant
When you realise, you feel like a sad infant
When you think about God, you think He’s distant
But pride continues to live.. Wow, it’s so ancient!
You think you’re great, but that just be plain ignorance
But when your heart is open, it’s such a distance
With your mother, your father, your brothers or your sisters
To get their love back – It’s hurting like blisters
You see the way that it works, but it’s never too late
It may have come to you once, but it just ain’t your fate
Our God is still looking out, He knows your true intention
If it’s to help or to break. He just wants your attention
So keep a look out for this. It just won’t ever stop
It’s working 24/7. Yep, it goes round the clock
Meditate on your thoughts. Don’t let your heart be rock
Make sure you’re praying to God, so that you won’t get blocked!

Pride is destruction, it comes to defeat
Pride works too sly now, it comes so discrete
It can be too powerful, bring you down to your knees
But by all the wrong reasons – Just stay strong please
It can come anytime, it can take anyone
It’ll do anything to upset our God’s Son
Let’s keep fighting for Jesus, the war has begun
Let’s keep fighting for Jesus, keep Him Number 1

I’m pleading out to my God! “I don’t know what to do!
I didn’t see this coming – Please my God, get me through!
It’s weird how it hurts who love, but also myself too...
My heart just feels so tight, don’t let it stick like glue
I need your help now my Father, please I’m begging You!”
I’m crying on my bed – Why did it choose me?
This ain’t what I wanted – I just want to be free
I just wanted to help, but I couldn’t explain
I see Mum sitting there.. Crying through all the pain
The pain that I caused her.. I just can’t stand that sight
When I saw that reaction, it gave me such a fright
And then I’m running around, I’m praying but there’s no sound
It felt like He weren’t around – I risked all to be “right”
I didn’t think to consider how they all would take it
But when heard it come out, there’s no way I could fake it
Fake myself being sad? All of this, I never wanted
I hate the way that pride works – I felt so haunted!
It took a while to recover, but now I’m back to praise
I won’t delay to keep away from all of pride’s displays
I’m not prepared to be going through that phase again
­­I ask You to protect us my God, may Your light descend

Pride is destruction, it comes to defeat
Pride works too sly now, it comes so discrete
It can be too powerful, bring you down to your knees
But by all the wrong reasons – Just stay strong please
It can come anytime, it can take anyone
It’ll do anything to upset our God’s Son
Let’s keep fighting for Jesus, the war has begun
Let’s keep fighting for Jesus, keep Him Number 1

I don't like the way we're going through this pain
I hate the way that I'm tired through all of this strain
I know we been through so much - Don't wanna lose You again
I'm done with this, can't let it win. I'm not gonna play this game!
I won't back down.. I can't give up within this war
I'm keeping up with God, He's gonna help me soar
And I look to the sky, I put my trust in Him
Proverbs 6: 17 - Please just remove this sin..
I wanna keep You happy.. I wanna keep You pleased
There's not a second I'll delay to get down to my knees
You're not just Lord & Saviour. You're definitely my King
You made my soul, You made my life. You are my everything
I'm not prepared to go back to the life that was such a mess
You got us all in Your arms.. I know that we are blessed

Pride is destruction, it comes to defeat
Pride works too sly now, it comes so discrete
It can be too powerful, bring you down to your knees
But by all the wrong reasons – Just stay strong please
It can come anytime, it can take anyone
It’ll do anything to upset our God’s Son
Let’s keep fighting for Jesus, the war has begun
Let’s keep fighting for Jesus, keep Him Number 1

Never Alone

So I'm walking down the street & everyone I meet
Has got something inside that makes 'em feel alive
It's spreading through the air, it's going everywhere
And that's all 'cause we know our Father is right there
We're always seeking Him & the answers are in front
He gives it to us straight. Sincere - Not ever blunt
We were deep inside our pit, but then we said enough
God'll always see us through when things are getting rough
I'm looking at the people.. Their's joy in all their hearts
It's something so strong. It can never break apart
There's so much glee around. There-there is so much glee
Because the Holy Spirit now, is here with you & me
So we're all blessed in our own way
With a special gift to use this day
He's with us all. That's what I say
His light shines through, so we just can't stray

Now, we have been through so much
But when we feel Your touch
What else can we do? 'Cause we're nothing without You
There's the day we see Your face
And if it weren't for Your embrace
I would never be able to see, that it's You who's inside me

I know I'm not my own, that I belong to You
And we focus on Your mercy, because we know Your word is true
We've strayed from You before, but You called us to come home
Your love surrounds us all & we know we're not alon

Now we praise You everyday, to my feet, I humbly bow
Because we live to serve You, Lord - Please take over us now
So continue to see us through to Heaven above there
We put all our trust in You.. It's just Your voice we want to hear..

I know I'm not my own, that I belong to You
And we focus on Your mercy, because we know Your word is true
We've strayed from You before, but You called us to come home
Your love surrounds us all & we know we're not alone
I feel Your prescence here, it's spreading all around

'Cause You love us & we love You - We're kept upon the ground
Whenever things are bleak, You open up our hearts
And You take the fear right out & anything else from the dark
It's like we were on our ones. We always got confused
But You never left us, Lord. We just wanted to be used
Be like a living vessel. That's what we want to do
Thanks for being there my friend. Yes, we love You

I know I'm not my own, that I belong to You
And we focus on Your mercy, because we know Your word is true
We've strayed from You before, but You called us to come home
Your love surrounds us all & we know we're not alone

Because all I want to do, is to be, more like You, my Lord
And all I want You to see, is Your reflection when You look at me
I heard You calling to me, I once was lost, but now, I'm home
My Lord, I thank You so much & now I know, that I never am alone

The Year Shift

I can’t explain all the things that happened in that year
I can’t contain all the things He helped me with down here
I can’t believe how He managed to remove all the fear
I can’t believe how everything just seems to become clear
He was good to me, or I couldn’t do this
I’m determined to change. The old life, I won’t miss
I know what I’m aiming for. So please don’t diss
All I got to say. But if you do, I just say “tsk tsk”
But of course, I’m not going to react
Ima “turn the other cheek” – Matthew 5:39 fact
I’m determined to keep this year in tact
No matter what happens now, I’m not going to crack
Because the Lord’s made me strong. I know what I need
Just His love. That’s all. I want to plant a good seed
But there’s many who want to uproot it. I’ll take heed
I won’t do anything for greed. Ima help others succeed
Everything’s changing now, I want this to be new
What things await me this year? I have no clue
June ’10 was when all my mistakes were seeping through
But then I opened up my heart & decided to seek You
I’m grateful that my best friend was looking out for me
If I didn’t get that chance then, what good thing is there to see?
He’s just one I look up to. I now know who I will be
Successful is the word. Because I was taught to just be me
I’d be heading for ruin if I didn’t make that decision
To the Lord, I grant admission
Into my heart, He shall lead my life
No matter what happens now, I’ll have no strife
Never again will I look back to be like that
I’ve come too far to fall again on my back
I’m not going to leave myself hanging on a rack
As I reflect on this year, these few months put me on track
If I was ever to shed a tear
It’ll be me having a moment with the one I hold dear
Dear to my heart, where He should be
I’ll hold on to God tight. This life, I can’t flee from
I’m not going to allow myself to be confused.com
Since I found Him in June, I know where I belong
I know my purpose. I’m not going to keep doing wrong
Everything that’s good for me comes from You
You are magnificent. There’s nothing You can’t do
There’s power in the Name. It’s building me up
I don’t need no medium to read my future from a cup
There’s no part of me that’s wants to remain the same
I’m only walking on the Path of Change

I’m not just saying / thinking that as it’s a new start
I’ve had my experiences. This is from the heart
As was everything else. I think hard on this
That pathetic life I definitely won’t miss
Everytime I got sick, You were there to heal me
Everytime I got in trouble, You stood by me
When I felt downhearted, You put faith back in
I love you & what You’ve done. I despise sin
There was nothing that I thought I could amount to
But negativity’s out of my life now. I will always count on You
I live just to give You praise
The praise will continue throughout all my days
I just hope people see You through my new ways
This may be for me, but I know I’m not alone
Others are breaking out from being hiding at home
Think like you’re the one telling this
It’s not just for me, because I know many of you decided this
I’m not looking for attention. These are my thoughts
We all want to be committed. Not to be distraught
I’m not just choosing to make the decision now
I made mine 6 months ago. God is showing me how
Those who are serious about Him will get the best
We’ll do so much better than all the rest
I know where I’m going, but what about you ?
When trouble comes your way, d’you know what to do ?
Cast it to the Lord, because all battles are with Him
Just be strong & share the love from within
Don’t worry about anyone else who’s around
Get your salvation & get up from the ground
Your life is a blessing. But things will be tough
But we weren’t made to give up when things got rough
He knows we can do it. We were made warriors
We can win this war, because He’s our Saviour
New Year’s Resolutions? No, don’t be on that
Go & get your goals.. Be vigilant like a cat
Why bother making promises you’ll struggle to keep?
Don’t stress yourself out with things that’ll break in weeks
Use your faith.. And see the outcome
You’ll be rewarded so much & then some
This year for us all won’t be fun & games
But we were made strong. Because He broke our chains
I sacrificed it all to Him. My mind, heart, life & soul
He’s looking out for me. Ima get through it all

Don’t just wait until a new day / new week / new month / new year to make up for the mistakes. You should do it at an instant. That’s how you progressby doing. Waiting gets you nowhere. So make sure you know what you want to happen. Use your faith, make goals & GO FOR IT! Bless everyone :)

Take The Stage - It's Your Show

I don't wanna take the fame. You be centre stage
All the glory's for You. You're on a better page
I'm lower than Yourself. I don't deserve the grace
But You died to save me - To make the sins erase

I'm loving what I do, I find it blessed & fun
But because it is for You, I refuse to block the Son
I want the whole world to know what I do is for You
To receive all the praise is not my aim to do
You're suited to be boss. The headliner for the show
I'll just introduce You, then backstage I'll go
I'll gladly give it up - The praise isn't for me
I send it all to You, as my thanks for blessing me

"Please", I ask. "Please take to the stage..
Just seeing You there will put a smile on their face"
And then I jump to the side, but no, not to hide
It's show that He's the one that's living inside
I'm not ashamed to show.. Let the whole world see
That You're the one that inspires me
Make me small, then I'll watch from a table
It'll be backstage. I'll be invisible

I've had my time to share my gifts
But it's Your show now. I'm moving out of the lift
Prepare us for the arrival - Away I'll then shift
Don't let me keep all this. Don't float behind me adrift
It all belongs to You, I make this Your show
And no matter what, I'm gonna let them know
That You, my God, are the only way to go
When they call for You, I'll sit in those rows

You overwhelm me. So I organised it for You
I'll give the big intro. The curtains, You'll emerge through
Don't let Yourself be hidden. Show us all Your Light
The Light that brings us Joy. Not a dry eye in sight
I will fall to my knees. Why should I be sitting ?
You overwhelm me. Your power's enhancing
I'll shout it out.. "Praise be to Him !
I thank You, my Lord - For the freedom within"

You've always been the boss. Be bold in this show
I'll just introduce.. And then backstage, I will go


Got to make God the priority.. The most important :) Bless

Falling, Fighting, Finding - There Came A Time

There came a time where we couldn’t rise
..Rise up to the challenge. We wouldn’t try
If we wanted to do something, do it on the sly
When we missed the chance, we’d just cry
Cry for ages. It moves on away & says “Bye”
We look up to the sky & we say “Why..?”
We’d end up feeling destroyed inside
From the rest of the world, we try & hide
There was too much in us. By that, I mean pride
We shouldn’t have that. We need to decide
We can’t allow ourselves to be kicked to the side
We shouldn’t be falling. Up to Heaven, we should climb

There came a time when we were weak
..So weak, that we wouldn’t bother to speak
Nothing seemed to matter. We became meek
We’d be disturbed by the simplest creak
We shy ourselves away. The hurt was too deep
The things that scared the most wouldn’t make us “Eep!”
We’re listening out. They’re saying, “What a creep...”
No matter what we reaped, nothing good was reaped
But I tell you now, you have to be strong
“Keep the faith alive” – You’re not in the wrong
Pick yourself up. Get to sing that song
Your place is reserved. Earn the place where you belong
Don’t allow yourself to be taken down
Your true ones are going to be around
They & God will lift you from the ground
Keep fighting for the Father. He’ll keep you safe & sound

There came a time when we got lost
The time when we needed someone the most
I don’t mean in the house, where you may have a host
Nope, I mean like the sea. Lost at the coast
Yes, that type of lost. Easily swept away
Getting distracted from truth.  Confusion each day
So many voices in our head. Making us insane
It’s like being swept away by some large crane
Everything’s causing the heart a lot of pain
But there’s a Special One we need to find
Let’s knock on His door. I’m sure He won’t mind
He loves us so much, He’ll invite us inside
Let’s ask him to lead us. The Perfect Guide
He’s the Best Friend Forever. We're never on the side

Fight Your 'Ego'

In that reflection, I can see who it be
It mocks me in my face - I'm being held back by me
Everything that happened, it's because of him
All of those issues.. He was leading me to sin
But wait.. Why say him? It's still on myself
I never tried to change. I never looked for help
My true self was just left to be on the shelf
I was feeling alone.. There was noone else
Well, that's what I thought. I didn't know Him well
But that ego of mine was trying to drag me to hell
I had no control. It's like it put me in a spell
I tried to break out, but it was like being in a cell

We're getting in a battle, but who will get through?
I mean come on now, it's You vs You!
How is that possible - What can I do?
Count on the Lord. He always makes a breakthrough
So I'm staring in the eyes. You may think I'm mad
This will be one of the toughest I've ever had
But no matter what happens, I refuse to be sad
I can't let IT win. Ima make my True Master glad
I'm grabbing my chest. Grabbing it tight
I'm pulling apart. With all of my might
..Like the dark Spiderman. I gotta be free
If I don't fight IT now, what will become of me?

I'm done with all of that. You had your fun
I can't keep on this mask. I'm saying that you're done!
I know what Ima do & it definitely isn't to run
But when I rebuke it all, I won't be the hidden one
I'm staying true to myself. I can't lose this war
I'm letting God in control. He's gonna help me soar
I'm not gonna allow you to pin me to the floor
Wherever I'm going, they're not gonna see you
I won't give in to the flesh.. I just can't lose
I'm going with God now. The good life, I choose
In spite of who I was, He's keeping me strong
He'll help me win the battles. I'm lifted from those wrongs

In that reflection, I can see that face
It greets my arrival.. Like a lovely embrace
Everything that will happen, it'll be for my King
No more issues here. He's cured everything
There's just one of me now. I'm no longer a shell
I get stronger each day. God's wishing me well
My true self isn't alone the shelf
I can't be lonely. He's my "everyone else"
This is what I know. The spirit's in us all
It'll move through everyone. We can't ever fall
We have to stay strong. Keep faith & bless
Let's make our God the number 1 interest

Don't let you 'ego' submerge your Spirit, which belongs to God. Bless peoples :)

Light Of The World

This one was inspired by JR's "We Need You" & "Lights So Bright". Hope it touches you :) Bless.

In all that goes wrong, I'll stick by You
They flee at Your voice. Nothing You can't do
I've watched the stories. You always came through
..One way or another. So I give my life to You
I see the lives of others. Deep down, they're alone
Some are on the streets.. "Bad to the bone"
May they acknowledge You up on the Throne
May You be within them. Alone, they'll never roam
You're capable of anything. We send my praises above
Your love spreads pure. Pure like a dove
Our hand fits into Yours. Fits nice like a glove
With You, we can't live rough

Those 5 letters bring -Joy- to us all
The One who is -Everlasting Saves- us from the fall
We're -United- as one family because of His light
We give our -Sacrifices- to Him. We will win the fight
That's my acronym of His wonderous Name
We could go big, but we'd gladly pass over the fame
You have a plan for us. We'll work to obtain
Our big family with You in the big picture frame
Why lose our souls & have the world to gain ?
That's not worth it.. We'd definitely lose the game
Purify our hearts. Let there be no room for blame
Or suffering. Extenguish the existence of pain

You're the Light of the World. Our desire
May our actions keep the ignition of Your fire
Give us revelation & eyes to see
The glorious things that are around us - You & me
Your light is so bright. It's guide the way
Your children hope to see You one day
You've raised us right. May we never go astray
..So our souls live forever, even when the body decays
Sorry if that's disturbing - But it has to be said
Why please the flesh, when it will soon be dead
We don't know the arrival of our King
So be prepared always. That's the main thing

I Wanna

This day, Ima dedicate to You
Just like any other day, I wanna seek You
I wanna feel the way You work, how it flows through
That awesome power You have - I wanna stick like glue
We're gettin to the end.. I wanna think on this year
On all the good things I had.. All the things I feared
I just wanna do better.. My Lord, I hope You hear
I wanna continue Your will.. May the path remain clear

I don't wanna fail. I don't wanna fall
I don't wanna be weak or pinned to the wall
By them evil forces - My Lord, to You I call
I wanna kick em out. Kick em away like a ball
I wanna look up to the sky.. I dunno what to say
Look at the wonders You've done. You've blown my mind away
I may say the same things everyday
My God, You are just awesome - That won't ever change

I wanna rise above. Rise above all the pain
Rise above the suffering. It's You I want to gain
I don't wanna hold grudges - Don't wanna send no blames
I wanna look at myself first. Make sure I'm right for this game
I wanna turn to You.. You fufil my desires
I just wanna manifest in Your fire
Your love is awesome.. It's what I require
Save me & use me, my God.. Before my time here expires

I wanna be lost in my thoughts
I wanna think of You every hour
I wanna be victorious in the battles I fought
I don't wanna be made into someone sour
You've always been by my side - I wanna do the best
I wanna get what You promised. I know that I'm blessed
I wanna continue with my praise. I wanna earn the grace
Whenever I feel Your prescence, it brings a smile on my face

I wanna.. I wanna be.. I wanna be "more like You
In everything.. Everything I say & do
Your reflection I want You to see when You're looking at me"

The Journey - Faith Hope Love pt. 2

Everyone’s life is their own journey
Some set off for the extraordinary quite early
Will there be troubles along the way? Yes, definitely
But don’t try & avoid. Defeat them separately
It’s easy to get lost along the way
We lose hope in what we love for many days
A flood will come along & swoop us away
All the obstacles making us go insane

Some have their journey through visual events
Much of what they see is time well spent
It doesn’t matter to them how the earlier day went
They’re looking through the window & their dreams are sent
..Sent out to the world. They want to reach out to those
That possibly don’t know where their life will go
They’re looking through the window, but staying there
Noone doesn’t even seem to care

But that’s the point. That’s what we need to do
Our journey may be fine, but people need help too
You & I will need it as well. So why isolate ?
Everyone has got a dream they want to create
Let’s help on their journey. I’m sure they’ll need a mate
Help them break free from fear. Break out of those gates
It’s a shame that some of them don’t want to express
All of the things they love – The fear of making a mess
Of it all. They don’t want to take that test
They won’t amount to anything, unlike the rest
Yes, we’ve got our own paths. But we need to show love
Let them know their life is a blessing from above
They will become great. They’ll learn from another’s success
Then when they do what love, they’ll perform at their best

But of course, if there’s many obstacles in your place
Overcome them. You’re an achiever, but don’t make haste
Yes, of course we’re all taking part in that race
But uproot the problems first. And then go at your own pace
Don’t ever hold back from thinking large
It’s them type of things that give the supercharge
Go for the opportunities. Don’t be barged
Never give up on it, no matter how hard
Make that decision. It’s now or never
Be strong enough to handle each endeavour
But don’t do it for your own selfish pleasure
Do it for faith & strength. That’s what makes you clever
Look out for those that are in dark weather
Give them a hand. They also matter
It’s all about Love. That brings us together
Love is something you should keep forever

Bless for reading :)

The Journey - Faith Hope Love pt. 1

We journey from the past & into the now
A good future comes your way, so turn the frown around
We've got Jesus with us, He'll never let us down
Take the Journey with me. Walk with Faith so you keep abound

We start from when we're young.. Didn't know a lot
" Is Jesus really there? Do we praise? Do we stop? "
" How do we believe in someone we can't see? "
You don't need to see Him to know He is with thee
So then, we're getting older - It starts to make more sense
He knows the way to comfort us whenever we feel tense
When we're wrapped in His embrace, the Love feels so dense
We feel Jesus around, we know for sure that we're blessed

The 5th chapter of Romans & 11th of Hebrews
What's the main point? The title gives the clues
Through reading things like this, I know what to include ..
To make my journey stronger.. My Bible works as my food
I'm not just saying this. I'm speaking the truth
I'm trying to reach out to the rest of the Youth
To make out Father happy is what we all strive
Let's keep working hard, with Him to Eternal Life

Hope is within us all - We know that He will come back
Do we or Jesus know when? Nope, only God knows that
Matthew 24: 36 - 44. When we open up the Bible, it's never a bore
We don't get distracted when a knock comes at the door
But it's no good just studying. We have to act on the Words too
Don't let the Father of Lies get the better of you
Keep your Hope & Faith in the Lord. He will see you through

When we put the Commandments together, the message is Love
Keep your Love for everyone as pure as a dove
No matter what they did, you should never hold a grudge
Open up your heart.. Show love & don't budge
What do I mean by "Show love & don't budge" ?
No matter the situation, you have to stay strong
"Turn the other cheek", for you won't be in the wrong
Continue to be nice, continue to share the Love
For the fight is not with you.. But with our Father above

And so, I conclude this talk. With God, enjoy your walk
Have Him born in your heart & you won't break apart
Look to the future -" The future's bright ", they say
Let the Lord's light guide you. You'll have many great days

Stay Blessed :)

Got Has Got You - I Belong to God

After this, you might properly guess what type this is :) My first actual one of these types.

Searching for something, but it just can't be found ..
Yup, we've all been there .

It weren't nice when we had something to hide ..
We felt ashamed & then, away we fly ..
But, we don't have to fear .
You know, there's someone who's been there all along ..
The One who's always there to make us all strong ..
Dunno bout them, but we know whom I belong to ..

I Will - His Will ( New Approach )

( New Approach because I sort of wrote in a different way that I wouldn't expect to it in. Bless )

Wonderful. That’s all I can say .
When I am with Thee, who’s against me, ey ?
It’s a shame I did all those in the past ..
But I’ve been picked out – He gave me more class .
Heh heh.. I see. Well, we know how you do
What makes you think I’d come to trust you ?
Satan, I’ll admit. To you, I was once a slave
But I’m not hooked to you. To God, my life I gave !

At first, I knew nothing. Blinded by emotion .
It came to a time where a gave my full devotion !
To Him. My God. The One who has created me ..
What I was blinded by, I emerged out to see .
I know where I’m at. I’m not going to flee .
It’s only to The One. It’s Him I want to please ..
Why? Because of Him. What I’ve learnt has been a thrill !
Whatever You shall call on me to do, I will .

I use direct address. I’m talking to you .
Have any idea what Jesus can do ?
I’ll tell you now, He’s set me free .
I’m only speaking the truth – Never been more happy .
I learn from the best. The helped me through the fight ..
Since I’m a Warrior of God, I fight with all my might .
If that sounds weird, then ok, you can go .
I’ll just say something obvious.. He loves you, you know .

God has His plans, God has His will ..
I’m going to work for my God. I will do His will .
I know who I’m seeking. D’you know what I mean ?
Look forward to your future. You’ll start living the dream !
Keep your head clear, always be sincere ,
Know who you’re with, who should be cut ,
Don’t be held back now, ya hear ?

His needs before mine. I know what I should do .
I want to give my best. It all belongs to You .
I have no time limit. I'll always show my praise ,
Satan’s “got me trapped. Trapped in a maze”
I’m sorting all that out. It must be in craze ..
Can’t handle the Fire. Can’t handle the blaze .
It thinks I’m in denial. That I’m going to fail .
Meh, failure isn’t an option. I know I will prevail !

They’re hiding in the shadows.. Seeking me & you ..
Look up to the Lord. That’s what we should do .
His light is our Shield. Pray hard in His name !
The shadows run out. We’ll never be the same .
I say we’ve won. We’ve overcome .
I will do His Will – God is Number One !

I Refuse - So Many

So many times I thought I couldn’t get through
So many times I thought there’s nothing good I can do
I’d just sit bit myself and hear the wind blow
Not to acknowledge all the great things I could know
Why was I weak? Why couldn’t I rise up ?
So many bad times where I could’ve said “Enough!”
I know not everything will be right – That it won’t go my way
But then there comes a time where you have to come out and say ..

I refuse to be weak - I refuse to stay down !
Nothing will hold me back or to the ground !
I came to my senses I know what I’m looking for ..
If I’m looking for a change, I have to knock on His door
He’s watching over me, every single day
He knows I’m in trouble, He just wants me to say
I need to know the Almighty God, what wonders He can do
I refuse to live in my bad past. I’m through.

I had to find Jesus. He picked me out of my problems
I couldn’t go through alone. That’s not how you solve them
I’ve seen the testimonies.. How could I not believe ?
They can’t make things like that up. I guess I’m not deceived
Well, I know who He is. I can’t give up on Lord
He’s done so much for me. I can never be bored
His light is my armour, the Word being my sword
The war still goes on. I’ll fight on His accord

So many times people try to ridicule what He does
Nobody notices what gifts have been sent from above
I know what I have to do, to stay on the Right side
Calling upon Him to help me out is how I survive
I refuse to be touched by something I see no benefit in
I seek the Holy Spirit, for it to be within
Who knows what I’ll get? Who knows what I’ll gain ?
All that I know is that my life will never be the same

I refuse to stay silent - I won't hide away
How could I give up on the greatest thing of Today ?
So many losers are out on this earth
I refuse to forget how much You really are worth
Change from the inside - Negativity was out
Change from the outside - Got no time for doubt
I'm not willing to give in to the things of this planet
Those sins I had before I refuse to remain a habit !

Who Is It - You Took

Inspired by MaryMary's 'What Is This'. Feel free to give feedback & hope you enjoy it. Was my very first, so I kept it simple lol. Bless :)

Who is it that came my way to lift off all the shame ?
Who is it that came my way to heal up the pain ?
Who is it that always came down here to comfort me ?
Who is it that took the darkness from my eyes to see ?
You took everything because of your love for me ..
You took everything because you knew what better things I could be ..
Did I give my time to You before like I love to do now? No ..
But I do say this: Nothing can take me away from the Right Road to go .

Who is it that's always there to keep me going strong ?
Who is it that is right there telling me to hold on ?
Who looked out for me through others - Who helped me keep the faith ?
I know it's You, my God. I'll make sure it doesn't go to waste .
You took everything to show me a brighter side ..
You took all the bad things away - You never left me behind ..
You took everything out of my path - You helped me along the way ..
My God, I have never been more thankful - That's what I want to say .

Who is it that heard every cry I made in my life ?
Who is it that came down to relieve all of my strife ?
Who is it that came down here to help me be set free ?
All along it was You.. How awesome You must be .
You took out all the bad thoughts so I may praise Your name ..
You took away all of the sorrows that had me trapped in flames ..
There's nothing about You that makes me think You're really strange ..
I'm really greatful that You came down for my life to change .

Who is it that kept me going - Made me a warrior ?
Who is it that is the biggest, brightest, shining star ?
What is it makes me look upwards and say "Oh wow" ?
The Almighty God and I just want to thank Him right now .
Nothing can seperate me from what He has in store ..
Nothing in this world will keep stuck down to the floor .
I know I'm strong - He made me so. It's in my veins to win ..
No force on Earth can hold me back - I say the War begins !

You built me up, You built me strong - There's nothing You can't do ..
There is no way that I'd be able to pay all back to You .
I just know that I have given all of myself to Thee -
You have Your ways, You have Your plans - Thank you for loving me .
I don't want to give up, I don't want to lose ..
I don't regret anything - It's the Good Life that I choose .
There isn't anything in this world that You can't do ..
My Gracious Lord, my eyes want to stay set on You .
