IF YOU LOVE ME




If you love me
Don't let me go
Because I am from a different tribe
Doesn't mean I can not be part of your plan 

The language of love is the same
Where ever it reaches out to the heart
It might be through a song
Or through a beating drum

Last time I recalled
You are not afraid of making a call
But it seems to be you are selling yourself short
Don't tell me you are afraid of commitment

Don't let me go back home
Broken, sad and on my own
No one can understand
The way you make me feel

Imagine a queen
Walking around with a broken crown
Her world is going to fall apart
Not able to find you by her side

Why do you make me cry?
Why can't I fall in love with you?
What's wrong if you take me home tonight?
In love, relationship don't need to have a perfect start

Hey boy, do not take me for a flirt
Not everyone can control their feelings
All I am asking is to be with you
Please, don't send me back home tonight

NO ONE KNOWS




No one knows the struggle in my head
The pains and suffering I go through
A friend can only pretend to understand
How much the world evolve around you

The heart is fragile and easily broken
When she is going through a conflicting day
It is frustrating when you are living for nothing
Negative thoughts piercing the mind everyday

Comfort afar off, no one to lend a hand
The little things seems difficult to learn
Life becomes invisible where ever I stand
It is like in the world, I am the only one insane

Maybe if I had painted a picture of a bleeding star
It would have been easier to take away preying eyes?
There will be no one judging my scar
But it is of no use, I am victimized

Please do not have empathy for me
I have got my own share of guilt
Every time I tell a lie, it is because I hated me
Sorry, I never intended to be weak

TRUST JESUS




Trust in Jesus
He is a friend you can rely on
The world maybe full of disappointments
He alone is true to His words

He is not self seeking
Envy of your success
You can count on him to protect you
Through times when the sun is gone

Let no one discourage you
That your problems can not be resolved
Is he not the one who raised Lazarus from the dead?
Who heals the woman in the crowd with an issue of blood? 

He fed five thousand, healed a deaf and mute man
Healed the blind to see, cleanses the ten lepers
He walked on the water
To everyone with infirmity He restored

You have got to give him your whole heart
Let Him lead you through the raging storm
And see if not tomorrow by day light
You will be singing a refreshing new song
