THE DAY OF THE LORD



Oh Lord, I plead the blood of Jesus 
Please hear my humble cry
In your infinite mercy, forgive us
Cause not the souls to perish and die

For generations you have been faithful
To man despite his insipid nature of mind
We broke our vows, yet despised you
For a mere piece of silver, the house of God turned blind

The prophecies of old are upon us
We mock the grace of God, slaughtered one another
The church of God is not as sacred
But a refuge for thieves and a muderer

In the clouds I see your glory 
I will serve thee because you love me
My song of praise, your amazing grace will be
You have giving life to me, I will praise thee

Tonight as I lay on my bed to sleep
I confess my sins to be washed away
I forsake every act unclean in my heart
When the trumpet sound, Lord take me away

I MISS YOU

DEDICATED TO BABY SISTER WHO PASSED AWAY NOT LONG AGO


We shared many secrets
Despite we often don't get along
It is difficult to sleep in the house
It is been empthy since you are gone

I thought the pain will go away
Instead there is a big hole in my heart
Wish I could have persuaded you to stay
It is unbearable, a world without you around

I still wake up in the middle of the night in tears
Turned on the light, hoping to see you lying on the bed 
You are the joy of all my happiness
A baby sister with a very big heart

No woman alive can ever take your place
You light up the house with smile in a special way
We had arguments, a lot of fight, each ended with a truce
I remembered the good times we had yesterday

Wish I can see your face, hug you one more time
Life is going too fast, wish I could hold your hand
To everyone you are kind, always lending a helping hand
You are mom's precious gem since you were a child

Time disappeared, my heart died
The moment I looked at your casket
Farewell beloved sister, you are now in God's hand
You are now in a better place at rest

TWISTED LOVE



I woke up in the morning 
Can not find the right sense of mind 
Emotion twisted come daylight 
With feelings empty and bald 

I could not detect where to find you 
I looked for you 
In the center of the world 
But someone took away the sun 

Just when I was trying to be bold 
I have been seeing you 
Laying in my dream 
The cloud took off her cloth 

Showing off to the world 
How you are beautiful 
To hold your hand
I have to contend with the world
