You Are... - A Song

Here are the lyrics of another song I wrote and composed. It is addressed to God our Creator. 

The Song is titled "You Are"  

You are

more than equal

The King of all that is…

Yet You came and became nothing

So every soul shall live

Who am I that I should take pride?

Who am I that I should look down from high?

Who am I? 

Chorus: 

My Lord the Master of the universe!

My Lord the King of kings!

My Lord the Savior the sacrifice

Who teaches me how to live 

In my sin…

You never shunned me

You came and gave me hope

From within I was so broken

You brought my soul to life

Who am I to look down on others?

Who am I to ill-treat my brothers?  

Who am I? 

Chorus

Filled with smiles

my heart is singing

The song of eternal joy

By Your love Your warmth is healing

Every wound inside

Why would I not share it with others?

Why should I not of Your love testify?

Why shouldn’t I?

Chorus 

With all my heart

I want to praise You 

You’re more than life to me!

All my life I want to serve You

Make my life count for You!

It is my joy to do as You tell me

It is my pride to call You my own!

I am Yours! 

Chorus

Women of God

Here's a song I wrote and composed specially about women and for women. Here are the lyrics of the song...  

Women of God

Noble and gentle, 

Honest and meek

Working in earnest

Strength and dignity 

Called to be pillars

Of the church and the home

Called to be daughters 

Drawing near to God’s throne!

Chorus: 

We are women of God 

Who worship the Lord

Who sit at His feet 

And minister to the weak

We feast on His Word

Draw strength from the Lord

Growing stronger and wiser

Humbly serving the Lord.

Looking up to the women 

Who lived out their faith

To Deborah and Miriam, 

Hannah, Ruth and Esther,

To Huldah and Rahab, 

Elizabeth and Mary

We are striving to write out

Our own faith-story!!!

The LORD God has called us

To be samples of His love

To be vessels of His grace

To be beacons of light!

To call back His own

To bring them to His throne

To fly high in spirit

And be forever His own!

P.S: I was hoping that the song would spell out what we can aspire to be as true 'women of God'. I am happy that I have had the privilege to know such women of God too!

Sparks of Inspiration

I am amazed at the intricacies of life around me

The spread of beauty that enthrals my soul

The hues and colors that refresh my heart

And enthuses me to do good things.

Some things stand out amidst the squalor of despair

Some tiny brave hearts and some large but gentle souls

The stark contrast of extremes that play together

And weave a beautiful tapestry of life.

Life emerging from the cracks and crevices around

The rays of light reflecting from a tiny little stone

Transforming a dark and dingy hole

Into a lit palace laden with treasures.

I feel happy when I see goodness in unlikely places

The strings of hope sing songs that bless my heart

My feet wait to dance with joy never ending

My eyes shed a tear of joy at the victory.

In a dark and weary day as I walk the roads of life

Seeing a little bird or butterfly refreshes me

A feeling of bliss passes like a whiff of sweet perfume

When I smell the fragrance of the land bathed in the first shower.

I have a treasure chest of memories

Filled with the awesomeness of little things

Whenever I feel down with discouragement

I look for these sparks of inspiration. 

Engraved

Life has taught me some grave lessons.

I have learnt after several wounds

That if you don’t care for yourself and your interests

No one else will do it for you.

Some people are blessed to have loved ones who care

Who teach them how to look out for themselves

For those less fortunate

The vagaries of life don’t spare

They ruthlessly tear you down

Until you learn to lift up your hands

And shield yourself.

I had lost my faith in human beings

Seen things I never wanted to see

Known the depths of depravity that some can go to

For mere material gains

They can kill and maim the spirit of others

Just to ride the wave of success themselves.

In the places that stand for justice

There can be grave injustice

In places where love is worshipped

There can be ugliness of hate

And in those who pledge to build others

There can be envy and jealousy

Such hypocrisy that I cannot bear!

I used to feel sorry for my losses

The precious things of life that I lost

But it was then that I understood

That learning is better than ignorance

And wisdom is better than knowledge

Some people cannot tell the difference

While I can cause life taught me well.

I thank God for the lessons I learnt

For His protection that didn’t let me perish

As storms caused havoc around me

For every grief He gave me a nugget of wisdom

For every loss a deep place in my heart

I heard that these very deep places

Store blessings when the showers come.

I am still learning in the school of life. 

Crossroads

Standing at a crossroad once again

I frown, I fret and complain

Why?

After a while the drama subsides

My heart makes a note

Of the time and place

An afterthought peeks in

Have I been here before?

The terrain seems similar

But the trail is different

This time I have reached the same place

Through another route

Yet the lesson is the same.

I am puzzled

Amazed that the result of two different situations

Can be one simple lesson

A lesson for life

I feel happy at last

As I know that finally I can turn the page!
