DOOR OF LIFE




Walking by the hallway, I came across a door that read eternal
I was skeptical at the beautiful inscription boldly written on it
I held on the knob and pushed the door opened
A white light flashed through my eyes so bright

It flashes away the burden in my heart
I saw someone like an angel beckoned me  in
He showed me all the good things I could have in life
He told me its possible to have a new life

If only I repent in my heart, let regret and hate go away
Open my heart to allow God's guidance in life's journey each day
I remembered, mom used to read me a story in the bible at bed time
The scene keeps flashing on my head, like I was still nine

I remembered those words vividly, you can't make it on your own without God
So I went down on my knees praying for the grace of God
I woke up sweating, I was restless all through the night
Then it struck me, that I can't make it going through life the wrong path

Not without leaning on the promises of God
So I sat up the rest of the night praying
I couldn't ask for more, but to have an eternal life
God's angel, watching over me day and night

FEELINGS FOR LOVE




Water run down and the stream overflow
It filled my heart with thoughts over you
My heart don’t wait till sunset
Always she falls in love with you
Every time it rains, 
It submerges my feelings for you
If tonight the sky don't bear a star
I will search for you both near and far

WALKING AWAY

 




I am walking away from losing my head
From all the problems of the world
If all she bears is pain and sorrow
There is no need to seek tomorrow

Though man is destined an angel on earth
But the sins of the world is resentfully dread
The purpose of life is neglected and tarnished
Souls are lost; death's lying by the ridge

Evil is in the mind and lust planted in the heart
Thrive and war, the moon deprived of her joy at night
The world today is not made right
Love's forsaken the day man sold and lost his birthright
