Deep in yourself where there's no darkness, you'll find nothing but holy lightness.
Blinded by this light, all they see is night. Thinking there's no hope, giving up and come
to cope. That's all they see, not knowing what it is to be truly free. Being free is to be
free with your souls fight, it's fight to hold you tight. More you pull away, more the
darkness stays at bay. Surrender yourself, and you will feel things you've never felt.
Heaven is your souls fate, you will not fallow if all you have is hate. Must have love, to
fallow your soul up above. Must stay together, to stay at peace forever. Don't get lost, it
will have a cost. Learn your passion, so you can keep it from crashing. This life will end,
so our souls life can begin. Energy we leave behind, affects everyone coming in this
world blind. Take from this what you may, remember to find peace inside your energies
ray. When looking at others don't look at what you see, but look at what they can be.
When you come upon those who lost their way, hold on to them for they are the ones
who needs the tools to be ok.
Await the zenith of the sun,
cross clay courtyard a beckoning
barefoot walked, heartstring undone,
Oh Lord, there’s love, no reckoning.
Soundless clarion of tears fall
toward absolution’s bright blessing,
within the domed sabil I call...
Oh Lord, there’s love, no reckoning.
The fountain's dry, but not my eyes
sounds of grace rebound, amazing,
Amazing Grace, sang such as I
Oh Lord, there’s love, no reckoning.
We are but one beneath the sun
for all our fears and wandering
all creation our companion...
Oh Lord, there’s love, no reckoning.
Let spirit rise on minaret
and phantom penitents come hieing
all is well, we are God’s get
Oh Lord, there’s love, no reckoning.
Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a condition of mind brought about by a serenity of soul. Peace is not merely the absence of war. It is also a state of mind. Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people.
Jawaharlal Nehru (1889 - 1964)
ONE CANNOT BUY JOY
JUST LIKE ONE CANNOT BUY LOVE
BECAUSE JOY, LOVE, AND PEACE
ARE GIFTS FROM CHRIST ABOVE
MONEY DOES NOT BRING JOY
IN SOME CASES IT BRINGS DESPAIR
JOY CAN BE BROUGHT ON
BY LETTING OTHERS KNOW YOU CARE
JOY IS A FEELING THAT COMES AT MORNING’S LIGHT
WHEN THE SADNESS IS GONE AND WE HAVE WON ANOTHER FIGHT
WE FIGHT SATAN, DEMONS, THE EFFECTS OF PEOPLE’S WORDS AND DEEDS AND
CIRCUMSTANCE
IF IT WAS NOT FOR THE JOY OF THE LORD
WE WOULD NOT STAND A CHANCE
HAPPINESS IS TEMPORARY
BUT JOY GOES ON AND ON
JOY MAKES US WANT THE BEST IN LIFE
AND PUTS IN HEARTS PRAISE SONGS
JOY CAN RESCUE US IN TIMES OF GRIEF
WHEN A LOVED ONE LEAVES US
JOY AND PEACE CAN BRING RELIEF
JOY IS HAVING JESUS
POSSESS AND DWELL IN THE HEART AND SOUL
HAVING THIS JOY HELPS US MAKE THROUGH INFIRMITIES AND PAIN
AND GIVES THE STRENGTH TO HOLD ON WHILE GOD MAKES US WHOLE
Out the window sent forth the raven circling as if no haven
Watching skies for hope out the window the proverbial dove
As peace returns no shores as searching raven shows no more
Faithfully returning like a dove surpasses wisdom’s call for more
Knowledge puffs up as craftiness vanishes a peace offering the dove
Olive tree’s oil and light righteous branch offering peace the Love the Love
Sitting by my window,
Free from misery and pain;
Embraced by serenity's immortal rule,
At peace with the storm and rain
Nature's woven its dreary loom,
Cloudy skies are an angry gray;
Nestled in solitude's comfort,
Fear is my fallen prey
Sitting by my window,
Nature ceases to refrain;
The Lord is my guardian angel,
At peace with the storm and rain
I found Grace in the eyes of the Savior
My Life has been touched by a King!
Oh what Love could look beyond such a sinner?
But the love that eternity brings!
So I stand now in the shadows of Mercy
He's brought Peace beyond compare,
May 10,000 Angels sing all His praises!
For someday, I'll sing with them there.
Why He chose to reach down and touch me
It's a miracle no one could explain,
Oh the gratitude I hope now to show Him
Flows more than the drops of rain!
Come sing now everyone with me
For we serve the King of Kings!
Oh most merciful loving Savior
Let all who hear now sing!
Praise His name from the tallest mountain!
Let it show that we walk with Him!
Stand tall against all that is evil
Let Peace flow through our land again!
I'm forgiven and so unworthy
Forgiven and Loved by Him!
He looked down from Heaven and touched me!
Now my Life has been Born Again!
The one thing in life that I did learn
is not to take the wrong turn
when you're in the wilderness it is easy to get lost
and your life it could cost
try to stick to the road straight ahead
and listen only to the words from God that is said
if you follow paths that others do
you'll end up feeling lost sad and blue
the road ahead is the only way to go
to find true happiness peace and joy that you never did know
stick to the road straight ahead with Jesus by your side and leave everything else behind
and his peace and love is what you will always find.
