LIVE, DIE OR LIVE AND CRY

To live, to breath and prosper

Functioning, managing as you do good or bad

To die, to cease to exist, no breath

No heartbeat, not a sigh, all ends

To live and cry, to meet with God in Christ

To repent, to breathe heartily, function hardily, prosper spiritually

Materially maybe in all

Righteousness definitely

WHEN DO WE HOPE

When life is so unfair

And no one seem to care

When dreams don’t come true

And the sky can’t turn blue

When the power of God’s love

Does not resemble a Dove

When there is no more laughter

And the clock is ticking faster

Oh Sweet Jesus hear my cry

Come and show me how to fly

You’re my only inspiration

I will follow your direction

Even when I lose my way

You won’t let me go astray

Just because life is unfair

No one seem to really care

Ah, but hope is always here

Even in our darkest fear

Imagine how our life would be

In this lap of luxury

It was made for us you know

Just so He could plainly show

When you hope with all your heart

Life’s not lost, it is a start

MOMMIE DON’T

MOMMIE DON’T


Listen to the fetus cry


He has no reason to die


Just because you couldn’t wait


Or forgot to keep the date

Fetus babies are human too


Who shouldn’t be tamed as if a shrew


I know it’s easy to destroy them


But it’s not easy to restore them

Just for once forget yourself


Just this time step off the shelf


Exclude all the misjudgment


Save the life that God has sent

When life begin to weary you


Think happy thoughts! God’s love is true


Be proud for you cared to say, “I Won’t”


When the fetus cried out, “Mommie Don’t”

SILENT CRY

There’s a silent cry inside of me

I’m sure you thought this could not be

It’s not a cry that can be heard

It simply questions the absurd

This silent cry is in my heart

It’s waiting for a life to start

I don’t know why I feel this way

But on this earth I cannot stay

This world so cruel and full of hate

Makes anger spark a frenzied state

I know life is the best of gifts

Amidst the cries of its misfits

I never could accept it all

I try to climb I always fall

I love my life to a degree

Because it’s all I have you see

So I’ll accept it with a sigh

Returning to my Silent Cry…

A CRY, A SIGH

A CRY, A SIGH


My heart yearns to cry out to God LORD  JESUS WE NEED YOU DOWN HERE PLEASE! Your word says, “if my people which are called by my name humbles themselves, pray, seek my face, if they turn from their wicked ways, I will exalt them from heaven, I will forgive their sins, and will heal their land (Paraphrased 2 Chronicles 7:14).” So much is happening and it’s so very scary, the overload deaths, wickedness, evil, hardships are all multiplying. It’s not getting better at all Jesus. It’s getting worse and we need you more than we care to let ourselves believe in our state of shock. Under the influence we’re just winging it Lord, please rescue us, our world, our people, our nations. If you so wish you can even make us one culture for your great name! I come as a small faint voice before your throne trembling and pleading guilty-asking you to help us mend our ways to please you Father God. When you’re happy we can breathe! YOU ARE the very breath we breathe, please breathe on us once more or just command breath to be in us. One word from you and everything in us fall into place, Abba Father. We need you so much. Forgive us our evil ways and fill us with strong desires to want, need, strive and achieve at pleasing YOU for a better change in Jesus name! We’re so in need of You Dear Savior, save humanity from themselves before you come as Judge and we’re no more!
