UNBROKEN



At night the enemy came
Set up camp on the path to zion
They gather to set ambush
And plan to destroy me

But bestowed upon my hands, the master key
To unlock every bolted door on the way
Break every brass and iron gate
Walk harmlessly through the enemy’s camp

I stand upon the high mountains
Behold, His glory rest upon the land and sea
Captive broken free, death reprised
The night had no grip to life

In the storm, I found refuge
I match on with reassurance
Of resurrection and life
Anywhere He chooses to stand

I look down the south and up to the north
Cannot count the blessings
Any door opened by faith
Is never again shut


The moment I walked with God
Life became not the same
Every word He speaks
In my life is accomplished

HAPPY




I just wanted a life 
Holding the things I love 
Not a stranger 
Lost without the direction 

Sometimes when I close my eyes 
All I see is lonely tears 
Emotion deeply broken 
A world I can't find the sun 

I use to dream of having everything 
Someone to love 
A career of my choice 
A home made with bed of roses 

It seems I am falling 
No branches to hold a grip 
I cannot find my way back home 
Lost and wandering on the street 

I wish I am surrounded 
With all the stars and the moon 
All I seek is to wear a smile 
I just want to be happy

WINTER NIGHT


















Under the winter night
Souls hiding in the sand
Memories of death
Tears of love ones in our heart

Life is stolen from an infant
Hopes tarnished and destroyed
Grievances harboring the earth
War at the boarders brings conflict

No more retribution, no more ease of mind
Triggered violence to avenge
The killings will not cease to end
For things are getting out of hand

When you pick up arms to fight
Is it justified that you're right?
Because it saddened the heart
Yesterday we were brothers in birth

Enemies on the front line at dusk
Salvaging every glimpse of breath
If only in such an imperfect world
Man is but not adopted
