GOD IS AWARE




God is aware you don't have a shelter to lay your head on at night
God is aware that you can barely afford to buy foods to eat that will last you through the day
God is aware of the problems and challenges you are going through each day
God is aware that you've been looking for a job for years
God is aware that you are jailed in prison for a crime you didn't commit
God is aware that you are sick and at the hospital in need of a miracle
God is aware you don't have a family that’s going to take care of you
God is aware you have been praying for breakthrough for years 
God is aware you've got a problem and need someone to talk to
You've got to stop leaning your efforts on yourself 
And stop depending on families and friends
God has been listening to your petitions
He knows your heart and the pains inside 
He is aware you are fighting a battle; He is on your side 
You've got to let him take total control of your will
Let God always walk ahead of you in all your life endeavors 
He can alter the course of time and give you a new life and destiny

THE PORTER AND THE VESSEL




I am clay in your hands
I am the vessel and you are the porter
Can you mold me into your specification?
Because I am incomplete on my own
Can You touch my heart with your hands?
Remove the imperfection in my life
Give me a clean heart, spirit and a decent mind
Take your time and mold out the dirt in my life
Make me clean and useful
Remove all the proliferation affecting me today
Alone, I can not bring out the best in me
I am only a vessel 
You know better than I know myself to be
You can see through my shortcomings
Only you can refine me to suit thy need
Only you can make me important in this world am living in
I am the vessel and you are the porter
I am leaning my hopes on you

NO MORE WAR NO MORE TEARS




War is destroying lives everyday
Millions of people are homeless today
Children are suffering 
Dying from starvation and rejection

Life is falling short as God's ultimate creation
The world which was once a beautiful place
Is ruthlessly despise by the selfishness of man
Millions of dollars are spent fighting wars

Families are lacking basic needs of health care
Quality education, pipe-borne water, and shelter
If we destroy the luxury of life's existence
What is the gain of putting lives in perpetual bondage?

Must we be slave to our personal gains and ambitions?
Neglect the laws of the universe we are living in
We have to put a stop to injustice brought upon mankind
We have to start appreciating one another

This world would be heaven on earth if well taking care of
Let us stop the killing and wastage of life resources
Let us kick againag war in our neighborhood
So there would be no more tears
