I AM COMING HOME



The distance between us seems unending 
Every time I want to be close to you 
When ever I try to reach out to you
The sky is getting further away my rear view 

Am I still in love with you? 
This to the heart I regretfully asked 
Without doubt, I love you very much 
Even for a friend I shouldn't have been far away from 

I am tired of drifting beyond the sea 
A sailor shipwrecked and floating in an open sea
The heart will not survive such cruel life very long 
Thoughts of losing you is sinking deep
 
Believe me, I know how awful it gets 
Laying under the cloud in the wake of a lonely night 
All my life is centered around you 
The air I breath, the water I drink, my appetite 

I am sorry for the discomfort I put you through 
Should the feelings build around you collapses 
I would hate the world and everything in it 
Not even the sun will bring back my smile 

You may say I don't understand a women's heart 
Watching tears dripping as the candle burns out 
For what ever reason, please do not hang my call Darling hold on, I am coming home

ALL FOR YOU


Can I sip your wine?
Can I ask for more?
Can I kiss your lips?
Like never before

Can I hold your hands?
Walk you down the hall
Can I show you love?
Like you have never felt before

Can I take you with me ?
Through this world of mine
Hold close when you slip
And never let you fall

I will be there for you
All your needs to care for
Sing to you all the melodies
A young heart would die for

Someone your pains to bear
Buy you a smile for a start
Just so we can play it fair
I will give you a head start

MERCIFUL LORD




Merciful Lord, mighty lord
May thy name be exalted
Through tempest and raging storm
Peace and joy in my heart restored

There is something amazing about You
In Your presence nothing is impossible
Impatiently when I disobeyed thy words
Never turned me down but forgave my unfaithfulness

I am grateful for the hills and fountains
For the flowers, trees and grasses
Thou created me in thy beauty and likeliness
As does in heaven the angels

Sent Your son through much pain and humiliation
For a man's perished soul to find retribution
Today, I can walk confidently through the enemies camp
No harms come before me, You are always by my side
