Dear Friend...

Wait, reflect and pray, dear friend,
And Christ will give you love;
Reach out to Him who brings you joy,
And blessings from above...

Wait, reflect and pray, dear friend,
And Christ will give you grace;
Come, tarry for a little while,
And rest in His embrace...

Wait, reflect and pray, dear friend,
And Christ will give you hope;
He'll help you strive to carry on,
And give you strength to cope...

Wait, reflect and pray, dear friend,
And Christ will give you life;
He'll be there ever by your side,
And take away your strife...

Wait, reflect and pray, dear friend,
And Christ will give you peace;
Remember Him when skies are dark,
And you will find release!

His Grace Sufficient

Lord, my life holds less than bliss
With many things constantly amiss.
Problems always to abound,
Trouble and discord all around.
Grief and suffering much I've known,
With time, trials have grown.
Life to me has not been kind.
But, through You, Lord, peace I find.
You are the Power that sees me through,
I gave my broken life to You,
And found through grace You've given,
Above trial, Lord, I have risen.

Your Needful Hour

Oftentimes when hardship strikes
And darkness hides the light,
It seems as if there's no way out
And no strength left to fight -
It appears as though life's lost its color
And joy is gone forever
And all the good and happy moments,
Life did from you sever.
But just as sure as little wings
Help a bird to fly and 
Furry cats were given claws
To help them to survive,
And without water clouds would cease
To revive a pretty flower,
Be assured that God will help you
In your needful hour.

Sorrow

Silent is the earth, black is the sky

Heavy is my heart, my tears are dry
This is my fate, I’ll have to live
Never to receive, always to give

The memory of you grew cold
I feel so very tired, so very cold
All has perished, everything has gone
I’ll have to manage and live on
But how can I exist with none to care
Whether I live, or with God be up there
Tell me how quickly you can change
You have grown so cold it seems strange

Time will teach me to forgive you

Leaving my nights lonely and blue

Your face will always guide me

It will clear my path, help me to see

For you have always been my life

You have always helped me strife

And though you are gone,
you’ll be near

To wipe a tear clear a fear …

The day of sadness

The day as I walked home
Sad being all alone
Hitting the edge of blade
Through hours of falling shade
I landed in a place
Where everyone hiding their face
I landed in a sea of darkness
Dropping my tears of sadness
Beyond the slight wave of sorrow
Trying to whisper your name for tomorrow
Love is falling for a sentence
My knees are crying for the slavery
Life is hitting on with the gloom
From being apart, being your glory
Should I forgive or I forget
The deep of the pain that I regret
All my wishes are to disappear
From the darkness,
From the sea of tears …

Angel of my mind

Life was so miserable in my mind
Listening to my voice from deep inside
I closed my eyes and all I find
Another place, I stayed so blind
Someone in my dreams at night
Looking in an interesting sight
Staring at me with a smile “Life isn’t an easy file”
Telling you were chosen for my garden
I got you a place at heaven
God really needed me, I wrote “Goodbye honey”
Being that angels to stay away from devils
To congratulate all my innocence
My heart was filled with Sadness
Whenever the ocean meets the sky
There will be memories for you and I
When I look down at that water so blue
All I see are visions of you
Since there is a heart in me my angel you’ll always stay a part of me
