FATHER CALL ME OUT




Call me out of un-financial break through
Call me out of barrenness and spiritual break through
Call me out of failures and disappointments
Call me out of sickness and diseases
Call me out of unfruitfulness
Call me out of unproductive marriage
Call me out of poverty and suffering
Call me out of untimely death
Call me out of unemployment
Call me out of mourning and put joy in my heart
Call me out of the street and put shelter on my head
Call me out of shame and uplift me from the crowd
Call me out of injustice and petition all my case
Call me out of depression and illness
Father, call me out and put your words in my heart and make it whole

LORD GIVE ME A SIGN





Lord give me a sign
I need to know what’s on your mind
Can you look into heart and tell me what is found
I have been fighting with my conscience for so long
If i still have faith or if it’s all gone

Lord give me a sign
I have friends and families relying on me
I doubt if i still have your presence living in me
You've been my refuge all along
Every day in my heart you gave me a new song
You are the only true friend I have when everyone else deserted me
Can you search my heart if i still have your spirit in me?

Lord give me a sign
Please teach me how to reach the blind
Teach me how to comfort the bereaved
Lives of family exploited unjustly all need a shelter
We've got no one we can rely on to look over our shoulder

Lord give me a sign
Make my faith strong; i too want to move mountains
I want to cast a barren tree and see it bright forth fruits
Make me the light people can see when they need a path
Deliver me from evils and oppressed, please don't take your eyes of my sight

Lord give me a sign
Lord, I would never had made it this far if it wasn't for you
I wouldn't have been successful today without you
Use me to touch souls, don't allow the enemies to prosper against me
Water our land and take the drought away for good
Let there be peace in our land for the masses and me
Take away the famine and provide for your people and me

Lord give me a sign
Blessed me with a renew heart and spirit
The entire path to my destination, please make them vivid
Please let the sun shine on our dark lives
As you have lifted the sky lift us up to reach the clouds
Make our tomorrow be beautiful and better
Today restored all hearts that has been shattered

Lord give me a sign
Fill our hands with your power
Please plant out negative memories in our heart with flower
Can you lend us a piece of your love?
We need more than a miracle to live in a world we all love
I am ready lord, give me a sign and please tell me what to do

I GAVE MYSELF AWAY




I gave myself away to you
I wasn't looking to fall in love for you
I thought of all the beauty in the world
The joy and feelings of a friend
The warmth of the night with you by my side
The kiss of the morning dew on your lips
The smile of the flower in your heart
The excitement of been in love from the heart
Sharing in your dreams of tomorrow
Holding your hands through the frame of life
I couldn't let you be all alone in a world so huge
I wanted the stars to be by your door step
So all your wishes can come true
