PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME

All my life, I wander in obscurity

Every path whirled, I find not the light 

But the holy spirit whispers to my heart

To succeed, rely not on your will or might


As does a lost sheep prone to prey, I am weak

Do not turn at me your back, I plead

I am your child regardless be who I turn out

To always love me, Lord you promised


In the wilderness of life, I have lost my path

Of whom I am, but need to be back on my feet

The devil took advantage of my greed

In the act of unfaithfulness, guilty I plead


Can you forgive the trespasses of this sinful heart?

I am knocking, hope the door to be opened

To the afflicted, your presence is a stronghold

Oh faithful Lord, be merciful to thy servant


Your grace for mankind has no threshold 

The bloodshed on the cross abide by all who yield 

For every wrong committed, purge me to do right

Body and soul, cast me not to be tormented


Root me in the foundation of your words, rebuild my faith

May the blessings denuded in my life be restored

Hold my hands, lead me to the promised land

Eternal life in heaven, I shall attend

DYING TO SAVE THE WORLD


It is no shock human values is abating

There is catastrophic of events all over the world 

Maybe it is time to reflect

Why life is not the same today


Terrorism is life-threatening 

So likewise is racism

There is no gratification in human trafficking 

Neither in lesbianism and homosexualism


I can tell you without doubt

Time does not care who is wrong or right

Can you tell me why the world dreams is been killed?

The reason orphans and widowers are on the increase


Remember the choices you made this day

Is what determines the outcome of our lives

It does not matter if the sky is gray

Man shall be accountable for his deeds


God is no fool as many may believe

Giving up free will to man to conserve

Because it is not yet the demise of our days

Does not guarantee man eternal life

SAVING FOR LOVE


I was nervous 

When I learned the heart can be forsaken

My feeling got locked inside

Scared of having a heart attack


Then you walked into my life

Stole my feelings away

I almost ran out of breath

For you are out of my league


Wish I had met you a long time ago

The nightmare would not creep into my mind

To ensure we have the best of relationship

Please, consent no secret between us


If there is a smokescreen in my heart

Yet you choose to stick around

I will start saving for love

To buy all the happiness you desire
