Mentors Loving Heart

On a path that I thought will lead me nowhere                                                                                                                                                                         was were my foot stood                                                                                                                                                                                               a path of darkness                                                                                                                                                                        yet could I feel  the cool breeze over me
For every stumbling block I fell                                                                                                                                                                               there was someone to tell                                                                                                                                                                                        not so close, yet could I hear a sound                                                                                                                          behind the woods on the other side              
A sound so faint to my ears but loud to my heart                                                                                                                                                                                     when I broke down half way through                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 and when I thought there was no way ahead
For every trouble that I caused                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         could I hear a roar                                                                                                                                                                                               but with a heart of love to lead me on the right path
For every where I stopped t’was                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   the sound that made me move on                                                                                                                                                             o, I wished I had taken the other path                                                                                                                                                               where travelers meet and be happy                                                                                                                                                                     later did I know they were people chasing the wind                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    but the path I took was led by a special one                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        to lead me towards the stars that twinkle
Wished I saw the end soon                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   but it was kept behind for me to believe                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        soon will I reach                                                                                                                                                                                       as long as I follow the sound behind the woods

Jesus Our Only Hope

Where is the shelter for thy drowning heart
Refuge from the stromy winds
That strive to havoc thy life and depart

Where is rest from the unceasing pain
When all thy strength has ceased 
And all thine efforts ends up in vain

When darkness surrounds thee
And there is no way ahead to see
When thy hopes are wrecked 
Leaving thy souls out of deck

Where do thyself go??
Lo,there stands a man with arms open wide 
"all ye people with burden and heavy laden come unto me I will give you rest" says he
Where there is peace on his side 

O what comforting father is he 
A light in the darkness
For thine eye to see

Place thy life on thee 
For he is God, 
For thou'st want him to be

Falling As Iam

A land far far away
With its great splendid
The daylight that brightens the way
Thrived passing all the dry seasons

Nothing,but a tree on the wayside
Had brought significance to the land
Deep beneath the soil it's roots abide
Stands tall for people to see

A shelter to the birds of the air 
And the beast of the earth
Moreover the storms did it bear
Lo,there it stands unstirred

There on the roots sprouted a plant
Yet,nothing could ever see
Grew with water so scant
But ungrugitate the wealth of the tree

For all the stroams that hit
And floods that made it drowned 
Was it safe under it
It grew and grew

Not long did it last 
Soon was the tree cut
Left alone weeping in the dust
Laid the plant

O what happy days under the sun did it think
Had it become to late to realize 
There lying dead,the young plant

Bethlehem's Story

Away in a manger, wrapped in cloth was a baby                                                                                                                                                                                                           no one knew who he was may be,                                                                                                                       yet a star showed him, who he was                                                                                                              the shepherd worshiped the savior                                                                                                                                                                   the wise man bowed down, not knowing who they were naturally
Herod tried to kill him not knowing his time has not yet come                                                                                              the prophet prophesied the sovereign god                                                                                                         the child jumped not knowing it was in a womb surrounded
As he passed the street the blind saw, the lame walked                                                                                                the deaf heard and praised god, the leaper was cleansed                                                                           there was not one stone left unturned                                                                                                                  people tried to derail him from the cross                                                                                                                                   but it was us in his heart
The soldiers tried to wound him not knowing it is for their wounds to be healed                                                                                                             they  put a crown of thorns on him not knowing it is for their curses removed                                                                                  they nailed him on the cross not knowing it is for them to be free                                                                                                                                      they put him in the tomb not knowing he will raise on the third day                                                                                                            most of all they thought they had defeated him not knowing they have just paved way for his victory
O ,lord how can I thank you                                                                                                                                  what can I give you                                                                                                                                                                       I consecrate my life to you                                                                                                                                                      oh what love that forgives                                                                                                                                                                               betrayed yet with a smile he said                                                                                                                                love you my  child

To a Lost Friend

At the break of dawn I looked for you                                                                                                                                                                           I found you no where                                                                                                                                                                    never could  I hear a voice, I usually do                                                                                                                                                             that which earlier made me smile, unaware

I cried out loud  
Never did I hear an echo
Among'st the pushing crowd
That made my voice but, low

I need you now, I sadly declare
Where do I find you?
In all my darkest hour I had your care
It is paining now knowing you are not there

Hope you come back before I ascend
And eternity aligns
For in you I have a friend
An unchanging friend of mine

Land of Lost Peace

Like a storm that sweeps away the living
rain that drowns the people of giving 
What is life only dust in the air
And people left in despair
A life so free but bound in heart
Was once overwhelmed with happiness 
Where is the city? 
Which was ones large and grand
Oh what city of great splendid 
that now lays In ruins extended
Dark and gloomy days that Cover the city
As people are watching their loved ones return
A city of great music 
Now lays sobbing under the dust 
Nothing but darkness that surrounds 
And people alive but as corpse lying everywhere
oh what gloomy days are we in
people raging among themselves 
that we have destroyed the city by ourselves

In the days brightened hour,came thee                                                                                                                  with a halo around,came here to be                                                                                                                            A thousand praises to the heavens did I sing                                                                                                       Making me fly by her wing

With hearts overwhelming joy did I fly                                                                                                                           On top of the mountains so, high                                                                                                                                        all the tears that rolled down, fear that crept in                                                                                                              Faded away on flying with my hearts twin 

Her voice could I ever hear                                                                                                                                                        Like a sound of a million harp                                                                                                                                                          To this dying heart so dear                                                                                                                                             

All the days were joyous and fine                                                                                                                                             No darkness but heavenly shine

Its time said she and disappeared                                                                                                                                                     in to the skies so wide                                                                                                                                                                 my heart taken back by the tide                                                                                                                                             Of fear,never returned back                                                                                                                                              Both the angel and I
