I NEVER ASKED FOR THIS







I never choose to beg on the street

But the world became greedy

Life selfish, impatient and demanding

And made me a victim deprived of the necessity of life



I asked God if my sins are immeasurable

That I have to suffer all my life

Come rain, sun shine and harmattan

Hope's clinging on arms vouched



I can't take this no more

This is not the life I asked for in my mother's womb

Life is at the verge of deteriorating

I can only seek and hope to feed from crumbs



The world sees me cursed for the sins of my forefathers

But why am I the one paying the price?

Don't I deserve a decent life like others?

A life not lived in thrash

PRAISE THE LORD






Praise the Lord oh he saints
For ever, let thy lips sing Him praise
For all the wonderful blessings
So huge the heart can't contain

Every where we go, He keeps blessing us
More than we can asked for because He cares
We're will shout out loud till the world marvels
We're will sing praises until the earth stumbles

And give way to joy immeasurable
It's so sweet been in the presence of God
We can only rejoice and praise His holy name
Appreciate the countless laughter He puts in our mouths

Praise the lord, praise the lord
He walks around every household
And fills the heart with everlasting smile
Of boundless joy which leaves the world bewild

IS YOUR HEART TROUBLED?


Is your heart troubled?
Feels like you're carrying the burden of the world on your shoulder
There is someone you can freely confide in
He is a friend, all your battles can win

Is your heart troubled?
In a crowded world, yet the heart is lonely
No one to comfort you when in despair or tears
Jesus watches your back because He cares

Is your heart troubled?
You struggle every day on your own
Life is hard, you are sad and want to give up hope
Call on Him, He is waiting for you to come home

Is your heart troubled?
When it rains, through the sun He will fill your heart with smile
He is the light of the world when the day is dark
Hold His hand and life will be alright

Is your heart troubled?
Jesus is a friend of a lifetime
Your problem and pain on the cross He shed
He is calling out today, to every heart laden to be saved
