One Little Bird

There once was a little bird high in a tree
Who loved to sing, naturally
She would sit and sing, and sing, and sing
But she never noticed her broken wing

One day another little bird passed by
And asked her why she didn’t fly?
She didn’t know the reason why
So she thought she would give it a try

But sadly enough, when she jumped off the tree
She fell down to the ground quite hopelessly
Now she was helpless and vulnerable too
And she didn’t know what she should do

So she prayed to her Maker, the One that knew
All about what she was going through
He came along and healed her wing
And now she really had a reason to sing

Now with her wings she began to fly
Higher and higher into the blue sky
Her wings were fresh, the flying new
But then the winds came, and they blew and blew

Soon she was falling, spinning ‘round and ‘round
Until she hit hard against the ground
Oh, she was hurt, she was sad and alone
Down to every last little bone

But her Maker was watching, He was there
And He gave her His most tender care
Now better and stronger than before
She was ready to fly from shore to shore

When the time came, she told her friends goodbye
Even if it was tough, at least she would try
She wanted to tell others her truthful views
About her Maker and about the Good News

Now this is the story of one little bird
What is your story, or have we heard?

To Live Your Dream

To live your dream

You can’t look at circumstances

Fear can’t stop you taking chances

You need courage in times of waiting

Not to step back when debating

Don’t look down when you’re going up

Think like a champion in the World Cup

Hold on when you feel you’re slipping

Faith and hope will keep you gripping

A life half lived is not living at all

When others think you’re crazy, just stand tall

Only you can be your true self

It’s not about gaining this world’s wealth

There’s only one of you and one of me

So there’s no room for any jealousy

Live your dream and live it big

Find the treasure, it’s worth the dig

You’re not here just for yourself

So don’t put destiny on the shelf

Live your life to the full

Don’t sit back and be a fool

Here’s your chance, take it now

Don’t keep asking yourself how

If the door shuts, find a window

Aim high, like with bow and arrow

Do the best that you can do

Because there’s nothing stopping you

The Beauty of Loving

Tell me, why do people do the things they do?
Is life so hard that love has died too?
Or do we just refuse to accept the love that’s there
So afraid of getting hurt, that we pretend not to care?

Why do we build walls to keep others out?
Jericho’s walls fell with a shout!
Isn’t there a better way of healing life’s ills
Than building those walls and causing more spills?

When we are hurt by other’s sin
And defense builds up, we mustn’t give in
But we should be open to what’s inside
And not become afraid or try to hide

There’s something sweeter about love than you know
Christ came in human form that love to show
It breaks down all walls between race and creed
That’s the kind of love to which we’ve been freed

It will take grace for that love to grow
Though it might not be easy, give it a go
And soon you’ll find what was always there
That love was made for us to share

It is Christ’s love in us we should live
And God will use whatever we can give
The secret is in trying, and in trying we’ll see
That in time love will come more easily

So don’t give up when the pain is felt
Christ is stronger and that pain will melt.
Imagine how beautiful it will be
When one day we’ll all live in harmony

Jesus

Jesus is the King of Kings
He is our everything
He is the Great I Am
He is the Son of Man

By His stripes we are made whole
He can fill the empty soul
And shower us with gifts from heaven
He is the Bread without leaven

He overcame Satan by the blood of the Lamb
Though he was still the Great I Am
He also suffered as the Son of Man
So that one day we might say, “I can!”

Happy Easter!

Goodbye

I want to love someone with a passion
To give my heart away,
Not just for a day
A love that’s for keeps
But I can’t love you in that way
You only play the game
You’re insincere,
So I won’t waste my time on you

I want to give my love to someone I can trust
Who will give back as much as I give
To have an undivided heart
To love to the end as from the start

Now I won’t be played,
So give up trying
You’re just not the one and I won’t be fooled
I’m stronger than you think
I can stand alone
With God by my side I can wait
Because I won’t throw my love away
I refuse to waste my time on you

I want a love that will last the years through
A love that is real
So goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I won’t be swallowing your lie

One day I’ll give my heart away,
But not today, not today
