Road of Life ==>>



I see myself as a road newly laid, perfectly finished
Smooth and slippery, I just can't take my eyes of it
Enjoying a ride on it, each one is exceptional
Marks have they left behind, which shaped me

This is the road of life, this is the road of life

I can't see the terminus, I want to know the destiny!

The footsteps of a mollycoddled infant, the touch

There is nothing like that, bringing me back to life
Stumbled down, its tender fingers reach the floor
They stir the waters of my world, quenching my thirst

This is the road of life, this is the road of life
I can't see the terminus, I want to know the destiny!

Blooming flowers, swaying around and playing along

The leaves flying with the cool breeze shadow me
And when it is time they come down to greet me
With eagerness and zeal to cover me, grilling all day

This is the road of life, this is the road of life

I can't see the terminus, I want to know the destiny!

Clouds are my best friends, they give me solace

Soothing me, scorching and singeing in the sun
Oh! How I yearn to just have a glimpse of them
The drops it sprinkles on me quenches my flames

This is the road of life, this is the road of life

I can't see the terminus, I want to know the destiny!

Then come the gigantic which hurt and scathe me

I am now covered with pot holes and I need a filling
I can't get back to the same splendour and grandeur
How can this be? Is there no way out of this grief?

This is the road of life, this is the road of life

I can't see the terminus, I want to know the destiny!

Later arrived the replete, satiating and filling me all

It demanded pain to settle down and reform me
I was cut out and made but the beauty lies within
I was given a new birth, a road to lead on and lead

This is the road of life, this is the road of life

I can't see the terminus, I want to know the destiny!

My heart!


When life seems so uncertain
When things around scare me
When nothing goes my way
When everything seems upside down
When I feel like screaming out loud
When I want to cry out my heart
When I start to hate things I love most
When friends look like strangers

Then your love fills my cup

Lord, your grace covers me
The void in my heart overflows with joy
I am silenced by your lovingkindness

I don't have to speak out
Tears of happiness roll down
Calming down all my anxieties

Hard to be Faithful!


Lost in this world of chaos
Struggling to reach the shore
I had to find my way out of this maze
I tried hard to break those chains
That held me all my life

Then did faith give me new birth
Everything looked so beautiful
I smelt the freshness of life
I saw much more than I could
I felt like a float, buoyancy provided!

I loved the way it was going
Before long did I realize, that wasn’t all
Oh! Life is also full of tribulations
I knew I had to live it, worthy of living
I conked out, yet hope never left me

Many a times have I been through
The happy and sad phases of life
Success for me was to move on
From one failure to the other one
With exuberance and desire in my heart

After all this I can simply say
Yes, it is hard to be faithful
Never can I stop marveling
At the faithfulness of my God!

Is this Love?


I'm in a trance
I know not what is happening
It's a struggle within me
My thoughts and my feelings
It's a long way to travel
From my mind to my heart
I can do nothing but wait

This journey brings me through
Incredible feelings and irresistible thoughts
What do I do?
I wish the earth stops spinning
Let my life stop here
I want love.Where is love?
I want to flee from hurt, save me!

I lie on my bed, my eyes closed
My heart and mind wide opened
Does love make me restless?
Tossing over and brooding over
Time goes on,days pass by
I stand here, I lie here
With my eyes and arms waiting

Take my love and give me love
Capture my heart, captivate me
Leave me not, I fear fall
May love rise me up, I wish it did
I am deafened to my heart now
Learning to live with pain
I am dead, but still living

I wonder why? I wonder how?
Is this love? Is this love?

Choice



Looking out through the window I see the old lady walking by
Her stomach shrinking, her heart sinking and face drowning
Each day she always longed for someone who would lighten up
The day she would remember for her fastened and strangled life

Untimely out of its mother's womb, I can hear the baby crying
Where am I? Why am I here? I am yet to take form to face
This life filled with incertitude and sempiternal misery
Can you hear me? I cry waiting to be pulled out from this well!

I know this little lad who comes back home with questions
Dragging his miniature mind and leaves it locked up in a dock
Who has the key? When do I find it? When would I be set free?
He calls out in vociferation, but I know none can hear him

How could one be so bonny without a blemish and flaw?
The beauty queen was surrounded by these words all her life
An unfortunate happening left her burnt, she slumped and lost hope
Everyone now is scared to look at her once spotless immaculate face

I see the sun rise each day and set at dusk, but it never would be
The same for one who has been through the depths of suffering
Unrequited they are all around me, what can I do to better their life
My choice would be a turning point for a desperate soul out there!

From Darkness into Light




There are many roads that I come across,
Oh! Where is each road destined to ?
How I hoped there was someone
Who could lead me to the truth.
Everyone around made spurious remarks,
In a mix up, I was unaware of my next move.

Following my conscious, I landed nowhere
Never feeling the need to look up for help
Though there was One always beside
Blinded was I by my pride and arrogance
Never did I realize that the light within me
Was darkness which misdirected me

Jesus you were there to allay me
Sorry! I didn’t have the eyes to see you
Sorry! I didn’t have the heart to feel you
Open arms were waiting patiently for me
To carry all my botherations, with gratis
Onto your saving side assuring peace

Pardon me for I am full of filth
I can't see your face, shining like gold
Deliver me from the darkness of my world
Leave me not, lest I fall into the pit of death
And get trapped in the trauma of life
There is nothing else I could pursue

Make me yours daddy, appease me
What a joy it is to be given new life?
A second chance to be your child
I don't have to wallow in my sorrows
Cause now I know the way that elevates
To higher grounds, that would take me home.
