AGAINST THE WALL


Is your back against the wall?
The heart troubled, tired and weary
And cannot find hope or courage at all
The heart on every side dying slowly

It is true the calmness of the sea
Cannot ease a troubled soul
A weak heart can bear no will
Like working with an unambitious tool

Just when you think the enemies has taken your life
Take a closer look deeply into the sky
You will notice the life we have is very brief
With angels by your side, where you fall you cannot lie?                        

Learn to look past the mirror when you are worried
And you will see the sun smile, either or not your perfect
Impossible will fly away from your path
Faith moves away the mountains and problems solved

No wonder He made man in His likeliness
Fought our every battle even unto tomorrow
He knows you cannot thread on your own without His grace
When God knocks at your door, He takes away sorrow

BEFORE YOU JUDGE ME



I don’t know what I did
For dad to walk out on me
Before my first birthday
It hurts me everyday in my dream

What am I supposed to do?
To justify that the world is not mean
This is a burden I tried to get rid off
For I never knew love

She is a stranger to me
What is a happy family supposed to be?
Before I could have a life, it was already over
Maybe because I am prone to anger

Makes me to be naive
I wonder if I would live long
Enough to have my own kids
I have been on the street since I was five

I was forced to be a man
No one around to lend a helping hand
They told me keep away from stress
How could I when the sky is always clouded

If you really want to help me
Then do the right thing
But if you cannot, please shut up
And let me be

HAPPY NEW YEAR



Happy New year 
May the Lord God bless you 
Throughout the end of the year 
With favour fulfilled as promised
Of joy and everlasting laughter 
Upliftment, so also breakthrough 
And progress in all troubled circumstances 
For I will take care of YOU 
Saith the Lord
