Just as a child talks to his dad, talk to the Supreme Lord.
He'll fulfil your needs and show you the heavenly abode.
Praise him. Worship him. Glorify his name as it's holy.
You are a co-heir of his kingdom. Do not feel lowly.
When you lack food at night for your guest, won't you ask your friend?
Though he feels irked first, won't he answer your need at the end?
With an innate pulse, he knows all your needs before you ask.
As flies and bees, yet, labouring for your bread is your task.
Have you ever asked with faith and felt that you'd not heeded?
Though you searched like a seeker, were your efforts impeded?
Did your kith and kin spurn opening the door when you knocked?
From the sun, moon, and stars (nature's conveyors), are you blocked?
Your soul must be light like a feather, all the burdens shed.
You must twine with the Father, like a flower with the thread.

You fascinate clearly
Once you're out of your hive
Flitting here, landing there
Keeping gardens alive
There's a sweetness, and yet
Nasty sting so beware
Your work all consumes
As you zoom through the air
On return to the den
Over-share with a flurry
Of your flower-full journey
Full of buzzing and scurry
You waggle your tail
With your moves; figure eight
So your bee-chums to flowers
Can with ease navigate
You are sharing the load
And you hum as you go
Your communal spirit
More successful than solo
I envy you somewhat
Though your lifespan is shorter
That you dance while you work
I think more humanoids oughta
For we stress and we toil
Little sweetness to show
For our labouring lives
Whether sunshine or snow
Yet the Spring flowers beckon
In the garden of life
Perhaps to shimmy's the answer
To this trouble and strife
I'm hearing that same telephone
from a neighbouring flat,
each day at that same time,
labouring with its ring-ding, ring-ding.
This is no neighbour whom I know
except that I glimpse that face, and hear that bell
each day at that same window
as she turns away from that ring-ding, ring-ding.
Does she love to hear it,
so then can turn her back to it?
How she gazes from that window!
Does she enjoy its ring, and can sing, sing?
Who calls from far or near?
Does that caller use this call
to sing, sing with a dial or buttons?
Is this the way to give a loving ring?

My quest is to fulfill God’s entrusted task...
Labouring* for Him sincerely without pride’s mask
Since He enables me with more than what I ask
Driving me that in His service I can bask!
*Acts 20:35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

To love God* above all is our mission
That’s to esteem Him with pure heart’s passion
Seeking Him ceaselessly through His direction
Yielding our lives to Him along joyful dedication.
To fear the Lord with reverence is truly vital
We do so for wisdom-gaining, spiritually fundamental
To keep us from sin that’s perilous and fatal
Bringing us to His blessings in their grand total.
To trust God’s Word is principle we cherish
As our faith stands midst philosophies that easily perish
Upheld by His truth mere opinions can’t tarnish
In Christ’s confidence He does readily furnish.
To stay in His will always is what we must remember
For that’s the best choice we have as saved by our Redeemer
We’ll abide in Him, by His mercy, quitting never
Blooming where He planted us in His grace and power.
To flee from worldly influences is our firm conviction daily
Overcoming pride, flesh and vanity’s temptation earnestly
As we walk through the Holy Spirit’s might diligently
While in His fellowship we bring our petitions sincerely.
To follow godly instruction is our commitment
Obeying His commands gives us sense of fulfillment
Reaching His standards sets our heavenly attainment
Pleasing Him in our soulwinning assignment.
To serve God, working with joy is surely exciting
While depending fully on His presence that’s uplifting
We strive to be His stewards, humble for His instructing
Since labouring for Him is a great privilege worth appreciating.
*Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

We had stopped believing
Because our purple lords were deceiving
Labouring each day in the scorching sun
Our hearts were burning
Our desires started waning
At times we wish that our existence was done
What purpose is there in life were suffering swallows up joy
And we wallow in misery
Like a tin man toy
So we gathered all our little treasures and embarked on that hazardous journey
With the hope that we will find work that would make us money
With the hope that we will find peace as sweet as honey
With hope that our rainy day will someday become sunny
We do not know what the future will bring
But we placed our hopes in the Lord so we sing
A merry, merry song
Even though we are most likely wrong
To risk it all for a the good life
On ill fated boats we sail
Trafficked by green smugglers
Over the high seas
In the turbulent waves
To the magical islands
We saw gigantic caves
We were almost there
But we were met by despair
Hundreds fell into the monstrous jaw of Nepturn
They were washed away
And drowned at sea
So that I may see the fair face at Lampedusa
Looking at me
I would risk it all
Risk it all for my earthly Elysium
And some day return for my children and wife
I am like a sheep at the abattoir gazing at the butcher’s knife
Why not create your paradise in the middle of hell?
And raise your flags high and ring the cathedral bell
You need not seek El Dorado
You can always find it here
Believe in yourself and don’t be discouraged
And do not be like Esau who sold his birth right for a plate of porridge
Have faith in the Lord
And he will see you through
For fate lies in the hands of the Creator
No matter what you do
He has created you for a purpose
And you are of a divine design
Why not discover it rather than leave everything behind
Missionaries… called by God to preach* and perform what they teach
anchored upon Scriptures, exemplifying Christ in good works’ earnestness
souls they compassionately win, as hearts by grace they reach
labouring with mercy and truth, praying while building lives, despite afflictions
sacrificing, taking up own cross, conquering individual selfishness
presenting Gospel of redemption; to repent, fellow men beseech
while offering eternal security as gift from the Saviour’s loving kindness.
*1Corinthians 9:14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
