Our Father who abides on high
His wisdom reigns down from the sky
Have pity on the earth below
Where man and beast do ebb and flow
We crave Your Help and Tender Care
For soon there will be nothing there.
If man could but sustain his faith
Arising o’er the power of wraith
To triumph and reclaim his right
Hence revel in his God’s delight
Achieve that goal before one dies
Upon God’s help whence love resides !
Whatever war that has been fought
Tis one more lesson to be taught
For no one wins as each has lost
And every war does have great cost.
Sometimes it takes a lifetime long
To hear the ring of freedom’s song
There is a price that all must pay
To win the battle of the day.
Therefore when lives do meet their end
And each has chosen foe and friend
The choice one makes on that last day
Will stand forever, come what may !
The day our Lord hung on the cross
Was when man knew his greatest loss
To us He was sincere and fit
King of us all of whom was writ
A man of faith and kindness too
Who came to save both me and you.
His suffering was hard to take
His mother vigiled at the stake
Imagine all the pain she knew
He was her child she loved Him too
Now there is nothing left to say
Except to love You more each day !
Outside my window I can spy
A flock of birds exiting by
The day is crisp, the air is sweet
Perhaps the winter’s in retreat.
Can you hear water dripping down
It makes this happy joyful sound
And melts into a drip, drip, drop
That seems somehow to never stop.
What if tomorrow does not come
To all of us but only some
Tis time to thank our God above
For sharing His eternal love !
I hear the rasp of failing breath
The raling sound before one’s death
It fills the silence of each room
Predicting life’s eternal gloom.
Be not afraid, time soon will tell
That God has other plans as well
So simple and with much more ease
In passing over if you’ll please.
He will not fail, He always cares
He comprehends each one’s affairs
Remember Him, He loves us all
He’ll pick us up as each one falls !
My dearest child where are you gone
What masquerade have you put on
Among the memories we’ve kept
Or midst the tears that we have wept ?
I’d like to know if God’s been good
And kept you safely as He could
For in your life you did no wrong
There seems no place you can’t belong.
My heart desires that you should know
Though you’re not here I miss you so !
What madness does this world possess
That causes all such great distress
What petty nonsense fills our days
We’re sure is nourished by malaise ?
For eons we’ve endured the pain
And fought evil most times in vain
This has become the earth’s sad scourge
There’s no more action one may urge.
Now we are here with shattered dreams
Leftover tears and useless schemes
The best there is, it’s all we’ve got
With chances to succeed or not !
I see the flag o’er coffins draped
Our values and our nation raped
And youth that we look forward to
Who shall inherit all we do ?
These are the victims of the crime
That worsens with passing of time
Oh Lord, please say a special prayer
To save us from this dark despair !
I have often thought of that early morn
After sweet Jesus as a babe was born
He was heralded by the stars above
Filled with God’s blessing and the angels’ love.
There in a foreign land so long ago
On a path that would lead this world to know
That He was the sign we were waiting for
The key that could open God’s sacred door.
Oh, learn what a path that he had to take
To save mankind from poor Adam’s mistake
We need to remember once and for all
He’s sent to guide us so we do not fall !
Rage, rage against the breaking dawn
Rage, rage against the coming storm
And silent let the pressure swell
Unto the world our sadness tell,
This story of its own demise
That happens here before our eyes.
For what is there the heart must ask
To bring to us a greater task ?
Our Lord in heaven see and hear
The ending grows too close, too near !
The stars shine bright
The moon’s aglow
The sheep bleat baa
The cattle low
The camels rest
The birds are still
All is quiet
Upon the hill
A brightness floods
The skies above
As we received
God’s gift of love !
There are some times I’d like to be
A lion king who wanders free
Among tall grasses on the plains
With tawny skin and curly manes,
Ferocious roar and lazy ways
Keen sense of smell with steady gaze !
It might be great to share the den
With faithful Daniel way back when
He slept with lions in the cave
While God above did his life save,
Exposing those who compromised
And schemed to cause Daniel’s demise !
I love you Lord please stay with me
Forsake me not hear this my plea
The holy words that I was taught
Sustain me now whilst I am caught
In this vast web of infamy
Which plots to mask our history !
Its power shows this evil force
As it pursues its primal course
To mock our God and all His works
It is in darkness danger lurks,
Preserve us please with dignity
Until the day at last we’re free !
The church bells rang so sharp and clear
Sweet peal of music on the ear
Echoed nightly from the steeple
Calling all the faithful people
To worship with the Christmas child
Who blissful sleeps in manner mild.
His arms reach out to woo them in
Help rid us all of vice and sin
This simple babe brings worldly peace
And from our grief grants us release.
