MY VOIC

Behold the world he made
The lives he created
Outside the night
In his image where we formed
Twisted and stubborn
Cracking the wind to give us life,
Like a surgeon in the theatre.


Life we got,
Bringing the anxiety undefined
For let my voice clap their hands
As more louder sounds to heaven are cast,
For under the cover of the moonlight
shall my songs of joy be heard
and in trance shall men trend toward the
Intricate of the magic maze of my voice.


For treasure,thou art woman
I have done it a thousand times before
And i will do it a million times again
For the jovial bride wept flood of joy to he who appreciated the treble of her soul.


Dreams beyond dreams
Our echoes roll from soul to soul
Cheerful-creeping in the early day as shown the excitement of our heart
For my voice will pass from age to age to the surgeon who made us
To all:women are neccessary good for himself he has formed us.

HOW PRECIOUS

Touched by your hands,
your love pours out like
honey from a honeycomb,
oh!how precious
that you will pierce our eyes
with light that floods like waters,
oh! how precious
To know that you will not throw us away
Even when marred by the stains
gathered from the cares of life.
With our imperfection yet you
stroke us with your perfection.
Amazingly striking, how so amazing....

you know us all by name,
Even the hairs on our head
one by one are known by you.
That your heart can touch ours
in a dance of love,
oh!how precious.
from sunrise to unquestionable sunset
you are unknown to change,and
yet you can change all things by the
breadth of your nostrils
No ink can describe you enough.
The clapping wings of the bird
sing your praise
how precious!
The singing cry of the newborn
sing to your singing soveriegnty...

To think that the days of our lives
are written out even before we get there...
and everyday you give us a second chance
To redo the script where we failed
No wonder dark clouds give way yo
The smiling sun.
oh!how precious.......

CLOSING IN

The darkness strolled in unawares,
Light slapped it away
Many struggles with lingering questions
Days when it seemed like the sun ran,
Leaving us with hope as an embrace
Passing through the field see slain bodies
All around,
The cry of his faithfulness should ring
through the air...
In closing remember when the hands were
too weary to move or clash
His own hands pulled us together.


That we lay not six feet below the Grave
should make us skip with joy,,,...
seeing the sun smile down,
A second chance greets us like never before.
The one who is called beginning and end
Has walked with us all the way.
Never left us stranded in the middle of nowhere
Our hearts should drip with thanksgiving
For only fools will say there is no God.

In closing,to stop to ponder about the
Life we have lived will do us much good.
The seconds and minutes we have spent
Go into memorial speaking good or bad of us.


In the solitude of the mind we can ride
On the wings of transformation.
As we drive out of the day,we need to
Question the things we have done.
In his face we can find our face
And embrace our true Identity...

TRUTH

so pure,as light that gives direction,
cannot be questioned by the passing of time
and events....
If we refuse you,foolishness strikes us,
and leaves us naked with pain.....
to know you is to find our way
Embracing your embrace is to live.

We want to walk away when you seem so hard
but even in bitterness you will set free,
Generation after generation you remain constant
unchanging as the sun.
Not subject to arguement
or the manipulation of feeble minds
Truth does not lie but remain as white
as snow.
you colour us with beauty....

The tentacles of truth can heal
a dying heart.
lost ways are regained when you point,
to live without you is to live in misery....
fading shadows all around but yours remains,
To know you as a friend is to be set free.....
