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 progress – by 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 :)
