Sometimes... - A Song by Henrietta

Everyone feels tired and lonely at sometime or another. This is a song that reflects that feeling and expresses our desire to express our fears and find solutions to our problems.

The lyrics of the song:

Sometimes

Sometimes I feel the walls come close to shut me in
Sometimes I wish that someone would just hear me out!
I'm tired of being alone on my own -
I'm tired of hearing my own groans in solitude.

Chorus:
I want to find my voice!
Share my fears
Unleash my woes!
I want to make a choice!
Be the best I can
Begin new life!
      But sometimes...

Sometimes I wander in the crowds to search myself
There are too many places I've been to - the search goes on!
Sometimes I wish that someone would mirror myself
So I could see the good & bad within me.

Chorus

Sometimes I know the answers that I seek will be found
Somewhere deep within me
Sometimes I dream that I have lived and overcome
All the problems around me
There's an answer to this question of my existence!
There's a reason I was born and I am living.

Chorus

My Jesus is worth dying for! - A Song

Song:       My Jesus is worth dying for!

                                Written and composed by Henrietta Decruz

Chorus:           Yes my Jesus is

Worth dying for… (2)

Because He came and died for me!

Yes my Jesus is

Worth living for… (2)

Because He came and lived for me!

1.    He didn’t have to come

 And leave His throne

 Become a man

 And take on human flesh!

 He chose to do it knowing

 I’m a fallen man

 Who can’t be saved

 From my sins!

           He came down from the throne

           He left His very own

           He chose to walk the path

           That only brought Him pain!!!                 

Chorus

2.    Yes I have sinned

 And done many things

 I shouldn’t have done

 In my life!

 I now repent

 For all my wrongs

 No matter what

 I can’t make them right!

           He was sinless yet He died

           Humiliated, paid the price

           He let them rob Him of His dignity

           For me!!!

Chorus

3.    Now when they ask me

 To disown this Jesus

 Why would I ever do it

 Knowing His love for me!

 If they had only known

 How much He loved them

 How much He paid for them

 Wouldn’t they be free!!!

           He came and died for all

           He gave His every breath

           To make sure we who sinned

           Would never perish!!!

Chorus

Repeat…

Nothing

A lot of problems

Are centred around

‘Nothing.’

That word is so heavy

It burdens my heart!

You may wonder why...

Yes, there are reasons.

It is

When someone is meant to do

Something for you

And doesn’t

It is nothing

But it hurts!

Like a child

Born and living

Rejected by her parents

Who were meant

To love her

And didn’t.

They did nothing

And so

That child carries

A burden in her heart

For life – ‘unwanted.’

Like a woman

Treated as a nothing

Used like a plaything

Abused like a beating bag

Yet going on living

As though

Nothing happened.

Everybody pretends

It was nothing!

In all the crimes

Committed in the world

It is never mentioned

The crime of doing

Nothing

When you could have

And should have

Done something

Which would have made

A world of difference

To someone.

Nothing is a dirty word,

It hides a lot of crimes,

Hurt, shame,

Anger, injustice

And the worst of all

It parades around

Wearing an invisible garb

And shrugs off every responsibility

As nothing.
