SOW A SEED





Have you ever thought of putting a smile on a strangers face?
Give arms to the blind begging on the street each day
Be a friend to a brother that's depressed and need someone to talk to
Find time to show love to orphans in the motherless home
Go to the prison and give hopes to the captive
Pray for a friend, a brother, a sister or a relative

When you make a promise, do you keep them?
Do you lend a helping hand when you come across someone in need?
How often do you have time to call or check up on a friend?
When you tell someone you love them,
Did you say it deeply out from your heart?
Are you fair when judging dispute between people?
Do you visit a neighbor who is sick and admitted at the hospital?
Spend time with her to show how much you care

How often do you call your parents to say thank you for taking care of you?
Do you often remember to thank and appreciate God for keeping you?
You've got to find time between life and work
Think soberly about the things you need to do
We've got the opportunity to show love to someone
We've got the privilege to help someone in need

We have to appreciate the things and people around us
No man can make it on his own without assistant and favors from God
Make time and get down on your knees, give thanks and appreciation to God
Find time out of your busy schedule and sow a seed
You can't tell how much you will be helping
To make the world a better place for you and me

SHEPHERD WITHOUT A FLOCK




A shepherd without a flock
Left on the hill sitting on the rock
Folks depending on me to feed
But I have got no sheep and got no meat
Like an outcast I wander into the desert
Thirsty to drink from the fullness of life and death
My eyes deemed of worries and starvation
With every breath in me I staggered under the sun
Troubled with thoughts of how to feed a nation?
When I can't turn a stone into bread
Shame, failure and disappointments
Bared as I journey on ahead
My visions are faint but something kept my heartbeat
It stroked me to look further down east
There I saw salvation, for it was blur at first as the weather
I pick my strength and pull them all together
For I found a lamb from heaven my needs He fed
I went back home wealthier, healthier and better
And bear with me the Lamb of God, the world to feed

IF I GIVE YOU MY HEART?




If I give you my heart what will you do with it?
Will you treasure it or let her wither and die?
Will you keep it to yourself or let her freely fly?
Will you keep her close but dearly to your heart?
Will you love her back with everything you've got?
Or let her be lonely for the rest of her life?
Will you take her with you wherever you go?
Or abandon her in a room without a window?

Will you allow her feelings to be broken?
Will you over the years her beauty forgotten?
Will you cuddle and keep her warm all through the night?
Or leave her in the cold without a shelter in the dark?
Will you share with her the things you treasure?
Will you treat her with kindness, care and affection?
Will you care for her like I have always appreciated you?
For I have got but one heart craved only for you
