ROLL THE BOAT

Roll the boat gently down to destiny

Dreams in life are all meant to be

Sail through the lake, river or sea

Current or storm may slow down thee

An anchor isn't enough to hold down a dream

Struggles and strife may weigh down man

Waves may rock the boat, still ease the mind

It aren't stable navigating through life

Got to paddle a way through when the engine is out

No time for worries if options are wide

Bale the water out with eyes fixed where purpose lies

A shore might not be that far away

If a little more you are determined today

Roll the boat till success in hands you can feel

For life is but one big journey attained despite its unforeseen

A WALK IN THE WIND

I took a walk in the wind

My heart tells me she has seen you

I search the world, but couldn't find a clue that leads to you

She only, knows the feeling of been in love with you

She understands the feeling deed down my heart

It’s been cold out here on my own

So I gave her my hands so I wouldn't be lost and alone

She knows where the river slows through to my heart

She shows me a path whenever I lost track of time

I don't want to lose you no more, even in my dream

Someone once told me am hallucinating

But it's difficult to wake up to reality in a world you're not in it

My feelings are blown into the wind like she is a part of me

Whenever you pass by, she whispers to me in a song

I will walk in the wind until the day in my arms I hold you

THE OLD RUGGED CROSS

Can you hold on to the old rugged cross?

Wait until it wipes away the tears in your eyes

Holding on to it may be heavy

But the price you pay it’s worth eternity

Sometimes, it takes forever to get the things we hoped for

Maybe the reason blessings are delayed is for a cause

Delay doesn't necessary mean you are neglected

Maybe He is giving us time to set our lives right

To ensure we are ready to take up our birthright

This old rugged cross has been carried for decades

It’s the only path that doesn't lead to destruction

It’s going to be stormy as you journey on

You will be thirsty but don’t let water

Keep you seconds away from your goal

The old rugged cross leads to a place where dream comes through

It's a place miracles are bound to happen

If you come across a mountain you can’t climb

He is beside you and will give you a leap to push you through

For the old rugged cross

Can change back the hands of time in your life
