SLEEP TROUBLE

5 Comments

Sitting between two funny looking guys

I tried to read the book before my eyes

With all sincerity,

I never meant to do it.

But here comes a time,

When i get to pay complete

For the debt of taking a night watch instead of sleep

… well of course I could help it!!!

I could have avoided a debt I could not repay

But I would really not want to think on it

…and now I feel really dizzy

Yes, I seriously do

But here’s an advice for you.

Try to avoid this with all of you

Cos I can bet you wouldn’t want to be

In the house of God and write this

ALL FOR ME!

Leave a comment

Glory and honour and power shinning all over the mansion,

Kings surrender their crowns to worship Him,

Wonderful creatures bowed at his feet,

He could have anything he wanted,

Just by the snap of his fingers,

I was nothing compared to him,

I wasn’t smart enough to get his attention,

I wasn’t brave enough to get his commendation,

I wasn’t good enough to get his appreciation,

I wasn’t good enough for nothing!

Dirty, broken, shattered, forgotten. Yeah, that was me.

But he took his golden crown away, left his golden castle,

Pulled off his golden apparel, left his golden family,

Came down to my cruel, unfriendly world,

Ofcourse, they robed, insulted and killed him!

Maybe, I was part of them…

We all thought he was dead and gone,

Little did we know that his death was;

The exchange for our pain,

The price for our debts,

 The source of our health,

The reason for our wealth,

He gave it all for me and you.

He is JESUS.

Believe in him and be saved too.

He loves you deeply.

Glory to the LAMB of God!

FROM WITHIN US

Leave a comment

If our hearts were beds of love,

And our minds were as peaceful and calm as gentle doves,

If only our feelings can be filled with joy and mercy and our thoughts covered with happiness,

Then kindness will flow and blessings will pour from above,

And still radiate from our insides,

And we will all know that the beautiful things we can posses is in the deepest part of our heart,

In which we all need to have in order to break the jinx of life.

NATURE IS GOD’S GLORY

1 Comment

It is pleasantly dazzling
that everything natural is so amazing,
For the wonderful sights of nature is like the beauty of art,
so that one shouts ‘wow!’ at the look of such scenes and sights,
Nature characterizes no mistake but instead,
features complete uniqueness that makes one to be lost in pure ecstasy,
Because from east to west, and from north to south
the same sky is seen and the same shinning sun
shines in order to manifest the glory of God.

LOVE ON A TREE

Leave a comment

Was walking down the path all alone
Dejected rejected my hopes lost and gone
Path after path I took left me disappointed
The joy I sought after, the peace I longed for
Was all but a mirage that shone before me glitter glitter
I would turn on yet another path
Hurriedly approach my supposed answer, the end of my search
And one more time I would meet my deranged self
Staring down at nothing but dust and dry leaves an empty package
I couldn’t like this I was done.

I trudged on and on cos even If I couldn’t what I sort for
I could at least reach my end whatever way It was
And just when I thought the end was near
I was at a crossroad, yet another decision maker
To a side, a familiar scene
Just at the near end was a bright package
It shown In all Its glory very beautiful very promising all for me
Probably containing all my heart so longed for
But my lesson was already learnt
I couldn’t handle anymore disappointment not anymore
And although the other path showed no promise
It was way better than one more heartbreak If fruitless
As I turned my heart stayed on
Everything in me would love to just try and see
Nevertheless I turned aside
And even though my legs wouldn’t move I pushed on
With a broken heart, a wounded soul and dry bones
I took a new path with no hope none at all

As I walked along up the path I chose
I couldn’t understand why it seemed so difficult
I now totally regretted my choice of path
I so longed for the easy though disappointing path
And just when I would turn back
Something caught my attention something different
Twas a tree, just a tree? You may ask
But this tree was different and it carried something special

I took a step closer, closer an yet as step closer
I took a look closer and there right there
Love hung on a tree
I couldn’t believe it
The tree wasn’t decorated neither the path silver plated
Nothing gave a clue infact none would have guessed
That right here In the midst of hopelessness nothingness
Love, love hung on a tree
Love died to set me free
And though I never knew such a sacrifice was made just for me
It was there all the time
I now acknowledged my mistakes and believed on the mystery that
When nothing would do
Love lifted me

There must be a mistake I assured myself
Or had I taken the easy going path
Cos love the best life had to offer
Could not have hung on a tree on a path so dejected
But then I took just another closer look down the path
Right at the far end a light shone
A light like I had never seen before
Wasn’t a mirage but an actual light
And the light had a life, it had a voice
It called out to me
It beckoned me
It reached out to me
It said ‘son come home’

There that was what I’ve been looking for
Hope, joy, peace and it all began with love, love on a tree
And though it wasn’t a race against anyone
I ran for all I was worth
The path that seemed difficult and tense
Lay like plains so easy before me
When I fainted, I soared with wings like eagles
And as I ran I met so many people running like me
Even made friends with faith grace and mercy
Now as I continually run with vigor
Paths appear before me but change my course I won’t
I now have one hope one home
And that’s at the end of this path
Where my father awaits me with open arms

EMMANUEL… GOD IS WITH YOU

6 Comments

When you sit at a corner mourning
When you have used all you have
When there is nothing more to hope for
When the weight becomes too heavy
When you think no one really cares
When your eyes sees all the impossibilities
When you are just one breath away
When your input does not compliment your output
When everything seems to fall apart
Just look to your side… can you see Him?
Of course not! … Seriously?Look again… He is always there…
Waiting for your request.
Why not let Him take charge?
He is Emmanuel… God with you

FADING TIME

1 Comment

‘Tis a journey called life
A race against the ever ticking time
But the race ain’t for the swiftest
It ain’t for the valiant or bravest
Only the wise may scale thru if they realize
That the only way to win is to surrender
To one who can carry you all the way

If you could pause for a moment and think
If you would look above the obvious
If you could seek wisdoms trail
Facts that disturb the mind evolve
Truths hidden and neglected lay revealed
And only then do we realize
Tick-tock time fades away
Yet many lose their way

Alas surrendering ain’t so easy
In this scientific age,
Faith is not the most familiar word
But the best way never speaks ease and rest
Gold only shines after its fire experience
To reach an end you might have to bend
Cos time ain’t gonna wait and stare

You see although time never waits
Eternity waits
But the quality of time spent
Tells the destination of eternal life
For joy like a river awaits
Those who surrender in faith
And rest we would find beyond those gates
Far away from all crime
At the very end of time

A WORD OF PRAYER

Dear God
It’s me your once again lost son
I know you’ve saved me one too many times
But i just happen to see myself falling at the back of the line
Riding down the road of destruction again and again Continue reading →
