One day we shall meet Him
We shall see Him face to face
The One we love
The One we worship
The One we adore
One day we shall ride on the clouds
Immortal, unrestricted, unstoppable
Fluid, weightless and free
One day all of life’s pains shall end
All we will know is joy
We shall smile till our cheeks hurt
We shall dance without fear
We shall laugh for all eternity
We shall rejoice in victory

There is a deep that always calls out to our deep. Then He calls us to get deeper together. Let’s go deeper; shall we?

I carry no fear on my shoulders
I have saved no teardrop to shed
I have left every iota of worries
Fallen at His feet, fallen, where sin is
Fallen at His feet, gathered in dirt heap
Worries? They have no rooms in me for rent
Harmony, peace and joy cram the whole story
Every other issue is backstory
Fallen at His feet, fallen, where sin is
Fallen at His feet, gathered in dirt heap
Backstory is a tale of yesterday
I spend time now swimming in God’s love
Waves of pain, illness and disease are
Fallen at His feet, fallen, where sin is
Fallen at His feet, gathered in dirt heap
Disease of the Egyptians shall not know me by name
Cancer is a raging empty threat
Hunger and starvation their powers rid
Fallen at His feet, fallen, where sin is
Fallen at His feet, gathered in dirt heap
Rid of gory garments and pierced sides
Christ rose in glory with fierce strides
Armed soldiers strapped with sleep
Fallen at His feet, fallen, where sin is
Fallen at His feet, gathered in dirt heap
Sleep in the arms of a loving mother
Tomorrow the fever with shudder
Because all the bugs in a million march lie
Fallen at His feet, fallen, where sin is
Fallen at His feet, gathered in dirt heap
March, march on Christian soldier
Relieved of every burdensome weight
Tomorrow is certain, today is fixed, last night is
Fallen at His feet, fallen, where sin is
Fallen at His feet, gathered in dirt heap

To every creative person out there,
Cascading springs of imagination into reality,
Devoting fragments of time producing significance,
Through Arts and Tech.
Always on their toes,
Innovating and setting unique marks.
May your wells of insights never go dry.
Shall your intellectual property be reinforced,
And upon every solution you render shall leave behind you imprints of greatness.
To every creative person out there,
May your days be longer.
Piece!! Peace

I thought I knew strength, what I thought
I felt I needn’t do what I ought
I was wrong, so I blamed my strife
Follow me and you’ll have eternal life
These words I didn’t heed
I was that rebellious seed
Though aware of this grace, I was no bolt in this race
Adam where art thou? I hid my face
I had gone against truth, tasted the forbidden fruit
Surely I still had time, I said
But any hope in this very lie was dead
“The day of the Lord so cometh as a thief…
But I kept sinning, ignoring my belief
“The wages of sin is death…
Mine drew closer with every breath
This cliché have I heard, the thousandth time
Repent or eternal death; the clergy rhyme
So at times I wondered, beyond and under
Is Hell a yonder? Or should I even bother?
If this suffering, they speak is somewhat real
maybe the safe side is where I’d rather be
So yes, I did consider
What if I got saved, or take a break from life o’er there
I would still be lost, neither here nor there
“Thou shall love the Lord your God…
I knew mine wasn’t love; Just the fear of hell
Maybe it was the same if no one could tell
So I walked in hands open, heart closed.
“By me if any man enter in, he shall be saved..
I walked in and didn’t come out the same
I didn’t come out at all.
I thought he was blinded by his love
But it made him see what even I couldn’t
Coz even when I despised him, he loved me
He still does, and always will.
Oh! and this time I love him too
