The 3 F's

The 3 F’s When we look at this time we are living in, it really makes us feel low and uncertain. At one side we have a pandemic that is ravaging the earth then on the other side we have the other usual suspects i.e. 1)      Terrorism 2)      Hatred 3)      Natural Calamities 4)      Economic Meltdowns 5)      Modernism This is just to name a few but they do have a formidable effect on us. Below are a few to get us started with own human nature 1)      Worry – What is going to happen? 2)      Uncertainty – How am I going to survive? 3)      Insecurity – Will I go to heaven? 4)      Fear – How do I tackle this situation I am quite sure that we all have gone through these feelings at some point or another. The flabbergasting point is that all the above and rooted and centralised to on...

Times

I feel low, I feel besieged Who I come to rescue me I ponder? Dark thoughts surround me, dark times enter This world seems lost, who is there to save? The uncertainness kills, hopelessness creeps in What am I supposed to do in this time of desperation? My soul cries out in this time of oblivion Someone please rescue me from my own prison The pain is numbing, my heart keeps pounding Thoughts being to attack, my soul cuts lose Is this the day? Is this my time? Nobody seems to hear me from my own shrine Then when I feel the lowliness begin to empower A chill up my spine, a hair-raising mystery The Bible says in all the times of desperation I have the victory The blood of Jesus has washed my slate clean In my weakness I will rejoice For when I am weak the Christ in me is strong I feel calmed I feel rest assured For the one in me is greater than the one in the world My soul will rejoice in Christ the redeemer Who came and conquered, he ...

Sing

Lord I will sing, sing, sing Sing of your great mercy and love Your love that cleans, your love that heals Your love that hive me the reason to dance on my heels Lord I want to sing, sing, sing Sing of your purifying fire Your unforgettable fire that always burns in me Cleanses me of all impurities and fills my heart glee Lord I want to sing, sing, sing Sing of your great sacrifice Your sacrifice that bought grace and wiped my slate clean Made this raging river into a quiet and gentle stream Lord I want to sing, sing, sing Sing of your amazing miracles How your power bought the dead to life Cleaned this wicked heart all out of strife Lord I want to sing, sing, sing Sing of your everlasting presence Your presence that assures me that I am safe Meekness and majesty all for God’s sake

Brother

We have this one relation called brother It was always a mystery to me so I did not bother They say that brothers mean solidarity It’s an unbreakable bond even amidst adversity A silent guardian in the time of trouble When fear grips your heart and words begin to fumble He is always there to protect you, guide you Just give him a try, he will always be beside you It is a blood bond that cannot be broken You can rely on him when all seems to be forsaken You can confide in him; he will be you vault A vault is shut tight even when it is your fault My brother is my friend, he is my mentor I love him to bits, this I say with candour Thank you, my brother, for always being by my side I respect your presence, in your brotherhood I delight So, I say this as I close to all of you Respect your brother, coz he is always there for you Trust in his guidance, trust in his insight You will never go wrong even when all seems tight

Faith

In our daily walk with God we all need faith Without it life would seem like you have seen a wraith Faith is a foundation we would not want to miss Without it you will always hear the that snake hiss The bible says “Faith without actions is dead” Life without faith is a path you don’t want to tread Faiths keeps us going when things seem dire Faith will give you support to walk out of the slippery mire Faith says “Yes”, when all the world says is “No” This is the fact of life you’d better know Faith means trusting in God no matter what Keep the faith and satan’s plans will you thwart Joseph had faith in God even though his life seemed like a mess It was his faith that pulled him through and he wore Egypt’s royal dress Faith means walking against the storm knowing that you will reach You will reach your destination and all fear will you impeach Faith and fear never go along with each other With fear out of the way faith will become your life’s...

Ways of the world

Ohh! My soul why are you so troubled? Is it peace that you are looking for? They ways of the world have had you boggled The pressures of life have made you sore For some it is money, for some it is success For some it is relations and for some it is life We always play the blame game when we fail to impress The world can be painful, cuts hard like a knife “I am only human”, “All I want is everything” they say People will always use just like a scapegoat Suddenly we become the hunted, we are the prey They will make you “Walk the plank” without a lifeboat Relations tend to abandon just like a fair-weather friend Everything is going downhill, there seems to be no hope “All seems lost” you say, “I must come to an end” You wished there was someone with whom you could elope No wonder you have no peace, you’ve got it all wrong You put your trust in money, relations meant the world You should have been in the Lord; he would have made you strong ...

Mother

What a beautiful person we have in our Mother’s When all that she does is with her love she smothers A person who knows you through and through All what she knows is how to protect you She is the one who created you, given you life She has always enhanced your happiness, made it rife Your every desire is her command no matter what be the cost No matter how expensive it is, she will let her funds exhaust Nine months she keeps you, bore you despite the pain Awaited the moment you came, then the joy was her gain When you were a toddler you were all her attention Now that you have grown up all she needs is your affection Don’t ever forget the sleepless nights she had to tend for you This was an unconditional sacrifice, forget it and you will rue Her countless prayers to the almighty for your protection Hear tears for you have become your benediction Ohh God I really want to thank you making a mother Such a vital relation that bonds us together ...

Celebrate

The world may have many sorrows, situations tend to berate But as we are children of the living God, we always celebrate Some say “I am jobless”, some say “I am ill” But even if that maybe, I will say “Being with God is always a thrill” Friends may leave us; our finances may run dry But our God is great, he will always hear our heart’s cry Even though I err, I am prone to make mistakes He knows I am human and blesses me for his sake “What should I do, the situation looks bleak” Our faith seems to nosedive, our spirit feels weak Frustrations seems to creep in, we tend to exasperate My faith is renewed in my God so I will always celebrate “Those who believe in the Lord will renew their strength” To keep you safe, our God will go to any length Always be thankful to him, be full of gratitude Meditate on his word and it will change your attitude There are times you feel low, times when you reel Feelings betray us, his love is what we need to feel...
