Life Is a Test

Life on earth is a test
The things we're going through,
Every situation that arises its a quiz for me and you.
We are faced with life’s choices, to determine where will be,
It determines if we have the crown, we got the victory.
Dig down deeper, there are two choices, that you will have to make,
Will it be Heaven or Hell, Choose for life in eternity!
The test we pass in life, there's a crown that God will give,
Pass all your test, cause its for Him you live.
The crown of life that God has promised, for those who love Him so,
Obey Gods word, and do His will, your good works will always show.
You work with the gifts, which God has given you.
How are you going to use your gifts, what are you going to do?
Use your talents wisely, and use them for the Lord.
The way you use your talents, is what you'll be graded on.
The tests that God will give, He'll give you the strength to maintain.
He'll give you a shield of protection, throughout your hardest days.
He will not push you past your limits; He's got His eye on you.
He will stand by your side; He knows what you are going through.
God will test your character, your obedience, and your love.
God will test His people, the test are coming from up above.
God will test His people, for integrity, loyalty, and faith.
Call on the Lord when you need Him, oh for goodness sake.
God watches our reaction, to the circumstances that come our way.
Success, disappointment, and conflicts, we have new choices every day.
Illness, weather, and people are sent to test our strength,
It tests our faith in the Lord, it is Heaven sent.
Take each test wisely, cause you want to be with God,
He is the truth-He is magnificent-He is Divine.
Life is full of temptations; that we go through each day. It’s all in the way we handle
them, let the Holy Spirit show us the way.
We face trails and tribulation, but we must keep marching on, hold your head up high,
and look towards the heavenly throne.
The choices that we make, will affect our place with thee. At the end of time I want
God to say, “Well done good and faithful servant, come join me in eternity”.
So, pray and read your word, each and every day,
It will show you how to get through hard times,
It will show you the way.
Life on earth is a test, so take it with care,
It’s an adventure, and adventure we all must bear.
Life on earth is a test; we face obstacles we don't see.
If you pass the test, you will have the crown of life, with God in eternity.

Through It All

We, as young black people, think that the struggles have been easy, cause it seems that 
we have had everything.
All of our cries and our aches have been on the backs of our mothers and fathers.
But as we look at their faces and we see their hair begin to change and even as there 
body begin to change from the passing of time.
We can see that…Through it All
Through All the Pain	
Through All the Sickness
Through All the Hurt
That this life has given…it has not been easy sometimes has not even been fair.
But they like our forefathers,
Those that came on the slave ships,
Those that came to a land,
Those that were made slaves,
Looked deep into their souls and came up with a knowledge,
That these diversities wouldn't break.
That the whips on our backs would only work its purpose for that moment alone but;
Through It All…We have made it.
Through It All…We have overcome.
Through It All…We are the descendents of Kings, Queens, Inventors, and we're looking 
toward a new age, a new millennium where we will Reign, and that day will be our day, 
CAUSE I WILL BE A MAN, AND WE AS A SOCIETY WILL FINALLY TAKE OUR STAND.

Adore

Love can withstand anything, and love conquers all. Our love for each other will never,
ever fall. I adore you so much, and for life it will be, I will love you till the end
of time, all eternity. I have more than love for you, it’s more than skin deep, I dream
of you in the daytime, I fantasize of you in my sleep. My love runs deeper, than my
heart and my mind, my love for you runs through me all of the time. My love for you
runs through me and for life it will stand, you as my woman, and I as your man. We are
a couple, and together we’we will stay, in true love, (through good times and bad), each
and every day. If loving you is against the law, then baby you are mine, I would keep
on loving you...I would have to commit that crime. I have more than love for you; it’s
an obsession can’t you tell. I try to show my true love, but still to no avail.
I have more than love for you, and for life it will be. Our love for each other will go
down, as one of the greatest in history. I love you sweetheart, and I want the whole
world to know, you are my everything, and our love will always grow. Our love will keep
on growing it will never stop, I'm on cloud nine; our love is going to the top. When I
think of you, I'm floating on clouds, its a wonderful feeling, my love has no doubts. I
try to show my love, and this I know is true, no matter what I say or do, it doesn't
show the truth. Baby what I'm trying to say is that "I Love You" through and through.
Love always and forever.

Victory

The day is drawing near, but is anyone in a rush, if there was a big clearance sale,  
then you would hear a fuss.
If the sign said concert, baseball, or a football game, people would stand for many 
hours, even stand in the rain.
People might climb high mountains to showcase their fame, spray paint their name on the 
sign Hollywood-just for worldly gains.
People take risk in life, but what do they achieve, if their soul is going to hell for 
all of eternity.

In a basketball game, when the clock counts three, you’re in a race against time; you’re 
in a race for the victory.
Were in a race for our souls, the true meaning of life, God already gave the ultimate 
sacrifice.
He gave us His son...He died for our sins.
He gave us a chance, so that we might be able to WIN.

Sometimes we feel, that we took all that we can,
Sometimes we act like we just don't care, but the Lord Jesus took all that He could bear.
He stayed on the cross, after three days he rose.
The ultimate gift was His life...Aren’t we all glad that He didn't think twice?

Take a look at yourself…only two things to choose.
You could be the wise man or you could be the fool.
Take a good look at yourself…what do you see…
Are you on your way to the ultimate victory?
This time take a real good look at yourself…
This time keep it real…
There’s two options left; it’s real simple…
Will it be HEAVEN or hell?

Times Are Changing

As the years go by and things begin to change…its time for us to step up and get ready
to take over the reigns. Our parents as the baby boomers did their part. They
sacrificed, they cried, they died, to make life easier for us, its time for generation X
to stand up and continue on with the march.

Black, White, and every race, its all the same, were loosing out at life, and were not
even playing a game.
The way things are going, as I see through my eyes, we are worse off than before and we
are telling ourselves lies. We’re denying the fact that things are bad, the world is in
a devastating situation and it’s getting to the point where it’s sad. Even Christians
fill their mind and body with the worldly things; we need to rinse it all away with
Godly Listerine.

Television, radio, movies, its corrupting our souls and our minds, we need something
different, we need to be more Christ-like, we need something Divine. Were looking for
role-models, were not going to find them on TV, lets face the facts, lets get back to
the basics, lets follow JC.

The headlines might read, "Another one died today" the captions might just say, “She
killed her baby son". What are we doing as Christians you see, we're loosing souls to a
fiery eternity. Have you done your job today, or did another soul just slip past your
way?

There's mothers against daughters, fathers against sons, wives against husbands, will
this madness ever be done?

We need to find a solution; we need to find an outcome, were in a race against time, but
are we on the run? There's something we can do, there's always a way, lets come
together as Christians, lets come together as a human race. Lets follow God and His
mercy, and His amazing grace, let’s look deep into our souls...not just face to face.

So don’t follow the crowd, stay close to the Word, give God all the glory, the glory He
deserves. Stay on the road that's narrow, not the one as wide as the sea, the small
road might be lonely, but it leads to a life in eternity! Just follow your heart, keep
with what is true, if everyone else goes to hell, well where does that leave you? We
need to turn to the Lord and keep our eyes on the prize; stay focused on Him and let Him
be our ultimate guide.

This Is Just a Test

This is just a test; it’s an alarm for the world to see.
If this were an actual casualty, then the world would believe.
The alarm should be ringing, in each and everyone mind.
He’s coming back for His church one day,
He’s coming back on His own time.

This is just a test, not the actual alarm. 
The siren cannot danger you, can’t bring you any harm.
The alarm is just a warning, for those who love Him so,
He’s coming back again some day, 
He wants the whole world to know.

This is just a test, for all of humanity.
This is just a test, for the world to believe.

This is just a test, not the actual alarm, 
The siren that your hearing, is coming from up above.
This is just a warning, for all of mankind,
It’s a warning, so get ready, for the end of time.

This is just a test, for the world to see.
Get your life together, if you want to be with God in eternity.
This is just a test; cause if it was the actual thing,
We would stand before our God in judgment,
We would stand before our King.

This is just a test, for all of humanity.
This is just a test, for the world to believe.

True Love

Your mine and I’m yours, together forever it's said and done.
Together forever-hand in hand, with GOD as our lead, we will stand.
Stand for what you may say, stand for love, so gracefully.
Open arms and a loving heart, with that...a relationship can't be torn apart.
Growing closer in every way, I'm loving you more...with each passing day.
Each passing day goes by so fast, I wish I could freeze time to make this True Love last.
"True Love"...is everyone dream...once in a lifetime, you are all that I will ever need.
I need you in my life today and I wish it would always stay that way.
Without you in my life that’s unreal, our love for each other is the real deal.
Our love is real, and for life it will stand, you as my woman, and I as your man.
We are a couple and together we'll grow...together forever, our ultimate love will 
always show.
Our love will show, and I want to tell the whole world,
You are my sweetheart and you are my girl.
I would give you the world if I could, I would die for my queen like any real man 
should. 
You are my queen and I want you to be safe, forever in Life, with God’s amazing Grace.

Wonder

I want to kiss you from head to toe, nibble on your sweet body.  I want to lick you up 
and down, and baby all around.  Explore your frame, every inch, and no body part I will 
miss.  Your body is my playground, let me see what I can do, I want to send you to 
extreme ecstasy, cause baby I LOVE YOU.  I want your warm body right on top of me, our 
bodies moving in perfect motion, in perfect harmony...
I fantasize of you every night about the things I want from you, let us make sweet 
passion, cause that’s what TRUE LOVERS do.

Thoughts of Love

Oh girl why must it be this way, just thinking of you helps me get through the day.  
So far apart yet you are still so close, I keep thoughts of you in my mind, and my love for you in my heart.  
Sometimes when I’m just sitting I fall into a daze, and wonder off into space...I find myself thinking about you, and the smile on your precious face.  
I know one day we will be together, a couple of years down the line yet it still seems like forever.  
Often I fast forward time…and think about what my future beholds. 
I think about me-you, our well-behaved children in our beautiful home.  
Things aren't always what they seem to be, but this is one thing I hope is "stamped with a guarantee". 
I have love for you in my heart, and anticipation on my mind.  I’m anticipating the day that you are totally mine...  
One day our time apart will come to an end, and that’s when the true love begin...

A Father's Cry

How are you doing son, as you go through the toils of life.
Going through life battles, some situations can bring you struggles and strife.
I pray I taught you well son, but knowing only time will tell.
No matter how good it looks on the surface each day can bring you a brand new 
hell.
Don't fall for the tricks of the world; it's all a scheme to pull you further away, 
Stay focused on the truth, only what you do for God remains.
Hold fast to all that is Holy; don't forget to call on Lord Jesus name.
Remember the things that are steadfast, only the truth will bring you God's 
glorious 
gains.
Son I'm here for you, I taught you to give it all to the end, 
I'm proud of you son, and in the Lord you will always have a friend.
Stand strong and keep your eyes on what is true,
Stay focused on the "heavenly throne" and remember son, "I will always love you."
