Iniquity

Clad in the apparel of iniquity
Sin’s firm grip of my soul
Like a convicted felon
Clenched by the paws of melancholy

The dogged haul to the dark side
Pulling my mind
Magnetism almost beyond resistance
Blinding me to the ills of sin

Flesh gratifying exercise
Pleasure derived for a moment
Executed in an eye’s twinkle
Dissolves with enduring sorrow

Forsaken with guilt
Sorrow of great depth
Immaculate filth
Flowing, filling up my system

The almighty sits and watches
The fraternity with the enemy
His loving arms are spread open
To accept the lost sheep

Back at his feet
Accepted once again into the family
The light has shone again
I have found solace in righteousness

Oracle's Prayer

Lord,
I still have breath in my lungs
Flowing freely like the wind
I crave for the beautiful things of life
But I’m trapped in a world torn by sorrow and strife
I live my life with uncertainty
Because any minute could be my last.
What is the need for breathing?
Why do I wake up the morning?
If I cannot get the things I need
If I cannot accomplish my purpose for being here
If I cannot lift my head high in pride.
Even in this ever changing world
I hide myself under your wings
From the fiery darts of the enemy.

I grow older with every second that strikes
I become wiser with age on my side
But what is the need for wisdom?
If it cannot be applied
I feel like one who toiled in sun and under the rain
Only to realize my handiwork is in vain
Without anything to gain.
Lord, help me find my purpose
Be the light that shines in my path
That I may not stumble
You keep me in my hours of slumber
You preserve my Life and health
But I repay you with Iniquity.

Lord, I do not ask for riches
Material possession
But I ask that you give my life a pattern
The wisdom to discern
The grace to understand
To never miss an opportunity
To discover my hidden ability
To take charge of my life
And live a life worthy of emulation
To create an impact in people lives
To be an instrument of positive change
To be the key that unlocks the door to someone’s happiness
To be here for a reason.

Many times I go astray
But the Good shepherd will always find the lost sheep
Grant me courage to resist temptation
And the strength to reach my destination.
I know I ask for too much
But my heart’s desire, you will grant
Forgive my sins
The battle I shall win
In your name I pray.

Your Awesome Sovereignty

From dust you made the man
By your words, the world was formed
The king of Heaven and Earth
Whose kingdom never ends
The Wonder of your mighty hand
Is too mysterious for science to comprehend
The sun giving light by day
And the moon by night
The stars sparkle and tell of your greatness
You created the earth, and all that is within
We live to sing your praises
All lifelong, until the end of time.

You are the light that shines in darkness
Shinning bright, you deface our sadness
The miracle we need in time of trouble
You made the blind to see your face
You made the deaf to hear the sound
The dumb to sing your praise
In you, true love I have found
We are not worthy of the life we have
But abundantly you give
Your unconditional love and divine nature
Proves your awesome sovereignty
You split the red sea
Because you make a path where there is no way
Your Grace is sufficient for me
I have nothing more to say.

The rains fall in due season
You alone know the reason
You made the trees, clouds, the air we breathe
Without you we have nothing
In you we are everything
We live to adore and appreciate Your Awesome Sovereignty.

Sunday Morning

It's Sunday Morning
Church bells Ringing
The Lord is calling
The choir Singing
Christians sit in church
Waiting for a spiritual touch
It is here we plead forgiveness
From our Iniquities
We can feel his presence
And live our lives in Tranquility

The Preacher stepped on the podium
In an atmosphere devoid of pandemonium
He had a message to deliver
Which made the congregation shiver
About the Coming of the Lord
And the End of Time
This was the spoken word
We have to cross the line
The Church was in total silence
As we felt the word’s essence

The people were filled
With wisdom and knowledge
They were ready to make their lives
Worthy of Emulation
This was a feeling
We experienced once in a week
In a special way
On a Sunday

We see the need to please our maker
That we do not fall prey to the soul taker
The Preacher creates awareness
And demands our readiness
To be counted among the righteous
The courteous and virtuous
That will see the Lord on that day
And leave the world to decay
But, do we have to get this sensation only once in a week?
The Kingdom of God, we must seek
If we would exude holiness to the peak
Righteousness is for everyday of our lives
And not reserved for Sunday morning

Temptation

Strong desire to stray and go the wrong way
Deception so intense, attraction immense
Answering the call leading to a great fall
An action taken with uncertainty
which brings about remorse

The course for leaving the right track
The reason for having a flaw
The sweeter looking part of two choices
The fall of the great tower

Succumbing to the sweet deceptive voice,
Is like a crack in the chain,
which slowly becomes a break
and leads to damage

Temptation, the thief of ethics
Harbinger of shame
Reproach to humanity
Deprives one of nobility

An attractive force so powerful
Almost impossible to overcome
The wise will always resist temptations
Though it is not easy, it requires endurance

Yielding to temptation shows weakness
It is the picture of a drowning man
Who catches the straw
It is the trap you almost didn’t fall into
Once fallen, the action cannot be undone

Overcoming proves your worth
And makes a man stronger
And ready for the next challenge
It is more rewarding to overcome
The thief of happiness: TEMPTATION

Grace

Favor Unmerited, Love Inherited
Freely given yet beyond measure
Priceless grace accepted without objection
Kindness expressed Joyfully
Grace is Love, Love is of God
Offered without a grudge.
The second chance that wasn’t deserved
The accolade awarded to a loser
Having the assurance of victory
Becoming an overcomer

Grace is mercy for punishment
Kindness for judgment
Though humans remain Obstinate
God’s grace is sufficient.
Even when we fall, he will call
And make us stand up tall
Grace is pardon to the offender
Forgiveness to the sinner
Simply Unmerited Favor

Praise.

Life is like an endless journey
where we see things that are rather funny
we come across a lot of hurdles
which may come in bundles
raging like a roaring storm
they come to plough us down
we forget that we have a supreme being
who cares and forgives, no matter the sin
our existence on earth is by his grace
and all he desires is his praise


The holy book says that prayer moves mountain
but God inhabits his praise like a fountain
That which the Lord desires his Children should offer
for he answereth by fireThat we may not suffer
what then shall it profit us
to live our lives each day
itz like we're in a moving bus
that has lost itz way
our existence on earth is by his grace
and all he desires is his praise
