Beyond Prose

Since time immemorial As far as I can remember I had been enslaved By my sinful nature Until my Jesus I met Life has a new meaning No longer surviving But living meaningfully Awaiting the great sight Of Jesus’ second return Jesus set my heart free My burdens lifted at Calvary This hope burning in my heart Hope to be united in Heaven With Jesus forever more Dear brother and sister Jesus is calling you today Repent and believe Be finally free for the kingdom Of heaven is at hand

Hear my cry oh, Dear Lord In my heart, the heavy load Seems to weigh me down Though I chose not to frown Am pushed to the edge Do something about the economy Helplessness, my constant enemy Is constantly putting me down I have nothing to call my own I’ll forever serve you, I pledge Sometimes I feel like crying But instead I start praying I need you, oh Dear Lord Through this narrow road For in you I find the will

It’s all over now The worst has happened You can’t hurt me now My mind’s sharpened Things are better now Since you moved out I have all I need now My life just sprout The message is clear now I don’t have to shout Can you hear me now? Oh dear, don’t pout

Up on the hill With a pure heart Down on his knees He poured his heart To his father in prayer Up on the hill With a heart so pure Love for you and me On a tree he hung, O what manner of love Up on a hill So that we might live His life he gave And paid for my sins Now I live Up on the hill May I never forget While I was yet a sinner He died for me By grace I am saved

Adding up my heartaches by the number; Your cheating is number one. While I was unaware in child-like slumber, Your selfishness is number two. I can go forever naming your nasty ways, Your meanness is number three. I won't stand it for so many more days, Your ignorance is number four. Do I really have to count out every glitch? Your boozing is number five. Finally, it's time when I will just unhitch, Goodbye to you is number six!

Everyone has a fair chance in this life Life does not always have to in strife When others are there for you in distress Remember them when you are blessed Do you go for vacations once in a while? Say in the summer holidays with your wife? Family and children come together for fun Remember them at all times, as shines the sun Holidays are over and you set to meet your goals Let no one say you're a distraction on your roles In everything, honour, diligence and good lifestyle Remember them for they make life worthwhile When you retire, let others learn from a true story Of your life lived so well, full and with all glory Good teachings all through and the inner voices Remember them everyday as you make life choices

There is a good hearted woman Not minding her husband’s snares Guarding her family like a watchman Her source of income is selling wares And she does it tirelessly Her husband comes home drunk Hearing the commotion outside She helps him out of the truck Putting all her needs aside She nurses him effortlessly
