ONLY YOU





Only you understand the way I feel
Every day I carry burdens only you and I can see
I have been working so hard to achieve the things I have today
But without you it’s not worth a dime, I couldn’t have done it all alone
You encouraged me when hope had almost deserted me
You were beside me when nothing was working out for me
When I fell ill and so weak, I couldn’t take care of myself
You healed me without a dime; I was never admitted to the hospital
There was a time in my life when I lost hope of achieving anything
You sent someone to me and miraculously revived me
Nothing I do right now can attorn for the sacrifices you took because of me
I can only go on my knees and appreciate you for providing and protecting me
Enemies have been jealous, they marvel at the way you took care of me
Despite I am not wealthy; I have never one day lacked food on my table
You provided me a shelter I can call home
And you gave me the best a man desire and peace of mind
No amount of wealth in the world can procure your love for me
Yet you gave everything to me freely and I duly appreciate it
I will forever be grateful for given me a good life
And for making my life a testimony for your glory 
Thank you father for everything you've done for me
Thank you for making me the man I am today
Because of you I am not afraid to walk through the valley at dark
Your angels are all around me, I see them walk in front of me
Am so lucky I have you as you continue to bless me
Only you can make all this possible
Only you can change a man's destiny and take care of all his need
Because you are the king of kings and the lord of lords

EVERYDAY THAT PASSES BY


Am staring at each day that passes by
The silence you wear between us is making me nervous
I swear I am so confuse because I still love you
Been a while, we don’t talk more often as we used to on the phone
Though am still convinced that we will be together again somehow
And I really hope things will turnout right
It has been a miracle that we are still getting along
My heart keeps getting the feeling that it’s losing you everyday
You’re there and am still here, I do believe you love me more
But the distance between us is making me doubt my heart
Please, I need you to tell me if am letting you down
I promise to give it all I have got to make things work
If you can give me a chance
I will amend all the wrongs I have caused
Love you always and make everything right

LOVE HURTS

Love hurts when you care about someone
And the person finds it difficult to understand

Love hurts when you have been dating someone for years
He wakes up one morning and tells you
Sorry I don't love you anymore

Love hurts when you tell someone I love you
And the person looks back at you and takes you for a fool

Love hurts when you tell someone your dreams
The person goes behind your back to steal your dreams

Love hurts when you put up all you have into make a relationship work
The person breaks up with you because you are not good enough 

Love hurts when you need a friend's support in a difficult time
But the person keeps playing you around and avoiding you

Love hurts after you have been married for years with kids
One day you found out that your spouse is cheating on you

Love hurts when you have been assisting your family
When situations are hard and you needed aid
They all turned you down

Love hurts if you have been betrayed, deceived, neglected 
And have no one who believes or support your dreams
