Voice of Choice

You are the voice of choice, 

You shape the world with your words, 

I chose you to be my voice, 

You carry life while singing with the birds. 

Words touches deep in your soul,

They wipe the tears of mankind, 

Wake you up in the morning with a goal,

Whispers in your ear, you're one of a kind. 

They rise up to raise the dead,

Prevail to calm the storms, 

Wise words, to the world they spread, 

It's the supernatural that performs. 

They turn the tail into the head, 

Take beneath to above, 

To the hungry they become bread,

Words bring life when they are sealed with love.

Divine Expectations

Be fruitful and multiply, 

You're cocooned like a butterfly, 

Be productive at every age, 

Produce fresh fruits at every stage. 

You're surrounded by favor like a shield, 

Like the floating ark you're perfectly sealed, 

As long as the water is outside, you shall never sink, 

In the midst of the storm you must always think. 

You're creatively created to be creative, 

The Creator wants to cocreate with you so be active. 

Live your life as if it was the last day on earth, 

There was a divine purpose for you from birth. 

You'll never find who you are 'till you find the architect that designed you. 

You'll never respect life 'till you acknowledge that someone made you, 

How can you know where you're going if you're not talking to your creator? 

How can a carpenter design a house if he is not talking with the architect? See you later.

Missed Call

The street was filled with people, 

Too busy to even notice a steeple, 

Their rushing minds made them blind, 

Blown by wind, their selves they couldn't find. 

Going everywhere but nowhere, 

Thinking they'll find themselves elsewhere, 

Walking in darkness when there is light, 

Choosing wrong when there is right. 

Too much noise blocks your ears, 

Then you can't hold your tears 'cause of your fears, 

It becomes much harder to make a wise choice, 

If your ears can't hear a small voice. 

Train your inner ear to hear important things, 

Don't miss your call when your phone rings, 

You see in this world everybody has a telephone, 

But our directions are not coming from a microphone. 

The messages are coming from different sources, 

Our lifestyle is shaped by different voices, 

Too much information with no valuable content, 

We received a self delivered message to make sure it was sent. 

Missed Call

A Shield Around Me

Your love never failed me,

Though my foes rise against me, 

My friends turn against me, 

My family turn against me, 

You are a shield around me, 

You lift my head up so high, 

You give me confidence to never die, 

From a distance you've heard my cry, 

You came close to wipe my face dry, 

You're there as I lie down and sleep, 

You give me wise words to give and keep, 

You make me humble as a sheep,  

Your words wake me up and touch me so deep, 

Rise above all the principalities, 

Shape all the nationalities, 

Shake all the personalities, 

Move all the localities, 

Cover me under your shelter, 

Day and night make me better, 

Your humble heart in mine shall enter, 

To all my friends become their helper. 

A Shield Around Me

Break Every Chain

Do not be enslaved by this world full of destructions, 

Rise above all limitations, 

Always take notes of restrictions, 

Speak life to all the nations. 

Break every chain and throw away the shackles, 

Be filled with laughter throughout your life, 

Embrace your success and laugh at all the hackles, 

Just enjoy life and forget your strife. 

Always keep your life under construction, 

In the end you're positioned for your inheritance, 

Do not conspire with this world filled with addiction, 

Your integrity compliments your intelligence. 

Your wisdom rules throughout the earth, 

Do not be afraid of those who cannot touch your soul, 

You were created to rule from birth, 

Know your worth then you'll achieve every goal. 

Pull their hands out when they sink deep in the ocean, 

Laugh your lungs out when they tell you that you'll fail, 

Always think ahead even if the world is moving in slow motion, 

Think of what the nail symbolises, your mind won't be in jail. 

I can hear the sound of the chains falling, 

Link by link your hands are no longer glued, 

From all the ends of the earth the army is rising, 

You've been transformed and your life is renewed. 

Break Every Chain. 

Walking in the Light

Tiniest light makes a huge difference,

In darkness take no deference,

Delight in the house with a light, 

Write your bright dreams at night. 

Live them in the day,

Love those who don't obey,  

Leave your yesterday, cleave to your tomorrow, 

In the hands of the past leave your sorrow. 

Let the streams of water flow, 

Like the fruit your wisdom grow, 

Leaf that is forever green, 

Heart that is always clean. 

You'll never be blown away by wind, 

Your prosperity will start in your mind, 

Your innate will drive your dreams, 

You'll flow like the rivers and streams. 

Your heart will heal the broken, 

Positive words will be spoken, 

You'll be rewarded for your righteousness, 

Your brightness will be triggered by your faithfulness. 

Walking in the Light 

Love is Easy

If it's easy in your mind, 

It will be easy in your life, 

True love is very hard to find, 

You don't just wake up with a wife. 

People complicate simple things,  

Love had to be a commandment, 

Even after an exchange of rings, 

Love still needs enhancement.  

My love for you is like an ocean, 

That goes down so deep, 

My kiss goes straight to your emotion

Like waves having seashore to keep. 

My love for you is like a rose, 

Eternally astounding fragrance, 

You are the one I chose, 

My love for you is full of radiance. 

My love for you is like a river, 

That will never in a million years end, 

My love for you is like a dove, 

With a beautiful message to send.

My love for you is like song, 

That I will continually sing forever, 

Like a poem that is intentionally long, 

Words factory that won't surrender. 

Love is Easy 

Keep Moving

Let's face it life get quiet sometimes, 

We want a GPS system for direction,  

All humans need social times, 

Our friends become our reflection. 

You'll need to know new things, 

Things you didn't know about you, 

Things that will give you new wings, 

Direction of what to do. 

Stop living with old information, 

Your files need to be updated, 

Enough of that outdated information,  

Your understanding needs to be updated.

Update your old database, 

You now have corrupt files, 

Upgrade your mind for a new place, 

By so doing you'll travel miles. 

You need a new normal, 

New type of friends, 

At first it will be abnormal, 

But then it's friendship that never ends. 

Rise up like steam to the cloud, 

Eat the meat through away the bones, 

Seek true friendship not the crowd, The stones the builders rejected will become the cornerstones. 

Keep Moving

 

True Identity

Sons and daughters of the most High King, 

Heirs of Heavenly places, 

We shout His name as we sing, 

Enjoying His love and His graces. 

We know who we are and whose we are, 

We hold firmly in our confidence and hope, 

We shine like a bright morning star, 

We were made to overflow not just to cope. 

We are called out of darkness to marvellous light, 

Beloved who are purified and sanctified, 

We rejoice in Him day and night,  

We reflect glory as He is glorified. 

We seek things that are above, 

The head and not the tail, 

We daily walk in love, 

The nails on the cross became bride's veil. 

True Identity 

I Am His Band

Like a cello my strings are tuned in perfect fifths 

Like a drum my sound resonates everlasting drum riffs 

Like a djembe with my variety of sounds I gather everyone in peace

I Am His band 

Like a trumpet my vibration is buzzing in the ears of the heirs 

Like a flute I salute my King in spirit and in truth every morning 

Like a saxophone I am the most powerful woodwind for my King

I Am His band 

Like a grand piano my notes are sustained to steady His message

Like a guitar I am strumming my strings while hiding under His wings 

Like a violin my highest pitch sound is blowing across the strings 

I Am His band 

Like a soprano my pitch notation is my high heavenly bridge 

Like a contralto I don't need falsetto to construct my highest pitch  

Like a baritone my bass, tenor tone is real, deep and rich

I Am His band 

Like a didgeridoo I am an aerophone that circulate through the ages 

Like clapsticks through the stages I clap my hands for my King's entrance 

Like His best band my symphony evacuate the spirits in His land  

I Am His band

Swinging Skyward

The sky is an awesome view, 

We see the reflection of the sea, 

Everything just turned blue, 

With such open space I feel free. 

I looked skyward in silent wonder, 

With silent words I spoke to this world, 

Do you even realise the sky that you're under?

Do you realise how the earth is curled?

Who watches you over your sleep?Sings to the dawn when the night is gone?

Who pulls your arm when the hill is steep?

Making sure that you're never alone?

Looking at the world around me, 

Do these people even know who they are? 

Walking in the land that could be covered by the sea, 

Eternity already began though it may seem really far. 

The end started at the beginning, 

The beginning started at the end,

Either way we'll always be winning,

In the end you'll always be my friend. 

Swinging Skyward 

Let It Be

You're not in control deal with it, 

Who told you, you can just quit? 

This is tough love I must say,

Tools that will help you along the way. 

You can't please everybody stop trying, 

Nobody said life will be easy stop crying, 

If you have no idea what to do, 

Open your hands you'll find the clue. 

If something is missing in life fill it in, 

If not registering in your spirit chuck in the bin, 

Let's face it, life with a clear direction is boring, 

Excitement comes from mysteriously exploring. 

Let it be...

Life is not full of difficulties but challenges, 

If you pay more attention you'll see vital messages, 

Life is not a destination but a journey, 

In case of trouble get yourself an attorney. 

Not every broken thing needs to be fixed, 

Sometimes your feelings will be mixed, 

Things won't go as planned, 

Stand where you don't understand. 

Let It Be 

The Chains are Broken

Round and around the chains went, 

Link by link they were hard to break, 

Away all the chains were sent, 

All of a sudden they started to shake. 

For years you've had chains around, 

Financial chains they couldn't move, 

All of a sudden they made the sound, Everybody saw, that was the point to prove. 

Relationships have never been easy, 

You've struggled to find peace, 

Things have never been breezy, 

People around you were hardly nice. 

It's time for you to be free, 

Everywhere you go there is hope, 

All your worries just flee, 

You were born to be awesome not just to cope. 

The Chains are Broken

Safe Haven

She ran away like a run away bride, Stood in front of the mirror and cried, 

She spent all her life as a house wife, She was hurt, ended up using a knife. 

Looked for a safe place to stay, 

She hardly had money to pay, 

She desperately looked for a job, 

Never looked for anyone to rob. 

She found a house, a friend and love, 

She was peaceful like a dove, 

With new love she never looked back, 

She never wanted love to lack. 

Life turned out to be the best, 

In this place she found rest, 

She found love in her new man, 

A better life, that was her plan. 

When the past haunted her again, 

She nearly lost her brain, 

With her new love she was protected, 

They were both really connected. 

Safe Haven. 

City2Sea

This year we decided to move more, 

To gain more strength like never before, dream more, be more, do more, adore, look for, explore, to be more than we could ever ask for. 

  

So we started running, riding bikes, swimming, walking, canoeing, kayaking, rock climbing, jogging, joined the gym, joined 10km Run Melbourne and joined 15km City2Sea. 

The rain was dripping, pouring, birds twittering, sea gulls crying and boats horned in a distance. 

This all took place before we flew through City2Sea 15km run this morning. 13 thousand people joined and thousands outdistanced. 

We couldn't see dawn as we approached the sea. 

Too dark, too much traffic, too much rain, flooded train stations. 

Then the light shined through the trees, amazed by what we could see. 

Wrapped our morning with medals, amazing breakfast and squealing laughters. Great day! I must say.

In life you run your own race, sometimes you even choose your own pace. 

The more you push yourself, the more achieved unbelievable results one could see. 

From City2Sea, to see great results our forefathers never got a chance to see. 

Results of our beautiful infrastructural city. 

We can be what they couldn't to be. Success doesn't come knocking at the door, 

If we work hard enough their ceiling will become our floor.

Shortchanged Lives

I grew up in Africa shortchanged, 

Wealth exchanged by coins, 

Cows killed remained unchanged, 

"School fees for everyone that joins."

Unreturned investments from people,

Too much to give, ended up in deficit,

"Poor investments", businesspeople,  

Still giving when nothing is definite. 

Cars can be changed like shoes, 

Clothes can be changed like coins, 

Houses making headlines in the news, 

Kids showing kindness by collecting cans. 

Silence becomes a friend to the owed,

People fight for their return until they are tired, 

They give much and remain with a heavy load, 

Troubling inflation with people hardly hired. 

Real change begins with a good heart, 

That's the only place that really matters,

Change your heart, change your life if you're smart, 

Changed hearts = real people not actors. 

If life has made you bitter, 

If hurts have made you hard, 

Clean your heart and make it sweeter, 

A clean heart is your life's best guard. 

If you have been shortchanged, 

If you have invested more than you got back, 

If your storms remained unchanged, 

You're about to get more than you've ever invested back.  

Shortchanged Lives. 

Beauty Saved the Beast

Once upon a time there was a girl called Lilly, 

She lived in a small town that she thought was silly, 

She looked for ways to run away and find more life and love,

The beast was cursed under the spell as he failed to love. 

Lily's father took a wrong turn that caused them to meet, 

Prince Billy was cursed 'cause his heart wasn't sweet, 

As petals fell from the rose, he had to learn to love again, 

A Princess who can love a beast can break his and her chain. 

One day the beast arrested one of the villagers for trespassing, 

His daughter Lilly offered her place as she was passing, 

The beast accepted with a promise she'll remain in the castle forever, 

Billy was a monster, Lilly was difficult and stubborn, hard to be together. 

That what they saw in each other at first, 

Even when you're cursed, that love in your heart will still thirst.

The two soon tasted the bitter-sweetness of learning their wrongs, 

The story of their love became their new songs. 

Lilly stood in a gap between the beast and her father, 

She changed her mind about him, what he was she didn't even bother, 

She discovered her captor to be an enchanted prince, 

Their love story was written ever since. 

Beauty Saved the Beast 

Grace Granted

She walked in the room and sat down,

He was waiting for her with years of fears, 

She reached out her bag and gave him a crown, 

His face was covered in years of tears. 

Grace Granted 

He kneeled down and admitted his wrongs, 

She just smiled and said, "I already know", 

He rose and his mind had thousand songs, 

He just witnessed grace and an opportunity to grow. 

Grace Granted 

Mercy was sitting in the corner when he was lost, 

Love was sitting in the centre when he felt alone, 

Peace stood by the window and said, "this won't last", 

Joy stood by door and said, "wherever you go make me your own". 

Grace Granted 

Whatever you're going through you're not by yourself,

Grace, love, peace and joy are by your side, 

Let them live in you not on a shelf, 

You're safe, so sit down, relax and enjoy the ride. 

Grace Granted
