OUT OF REACH












I find it hard to concentrate
Mind staring at the sky tonight
Can't find a single star
Its driving me out of my mind

Yesterday while standing by the sea side
Saw the reflecting of a heart drowning
Fighting for breath to hold onto a life line
Of memories and thoughts of you

GOD'S WAY



Its no exception
I am blessed by God
The universe He created
And it fullness of joy

The devil came to steal
To destroy man eternal soul
But all power belong to God
His glory is above the cloud

Only He has the power to heal and resurrect
The sick and dying soul from death
Only He can save and restore
Peace to a heart that's lost

He loves man so very much
Made heaven to be man's abode
There is no emphasis walking in sin
The price of death He has completely paid

No wonder I sense God's smile
When the sun shine above the day
The world, He promised to be a better place
If man only can turn back from sinful ways

HE SAVED ME





At age ten, I was having breakfast with my little sister
Had our unifuniformsorms on, getting ready for school
I started experiencing pains in my stomach
Lost consciousness and was rushed down to the hospital
Seven days lying on the sick bed, tears in my mama's eyes
Mama praying effortlessly, a bright light fell upon my heart
He saved me

I was driving on the highway with friends
Suddenly the break went out of control
Car ran behind a trailer, smashed into her back side
We drifted and dashed into the woods
No car overheating, no death sustained
I came out with but a little scratch on my left arm
He saved me

Walking down the street to get a beer at the liquor store
At gun point, I was arrested by the police and handcuffed
Sentenced forty years to life, for murder on awaiting trial
That moment, all my sins flashes between my eyes
My soul going to hell, soberly I went to God on my knees
God gave me a clean slate,  by His grace, now I am free
He saved me
