GO TO SLEEP

Little child go to sleep,
It is night you need not weep,
I’ll help with your bed-keep,
There you will be sleeping deep,
Zzz-zzz, zzz-zzz, what a peep!

THIRD OF MAY

It was on the third of May,
That year was very dear,
The month was to the north,
The week was quick,
And the day was gay,
That hour was full of power,
The minute was so sweet,
And the second was reckoned,
That moment a gem arrived!

A SPECIAL GIFT

Heaven sent me a gift,
A very special one indeed
That brought me a wonderful lift,
Tongue can’t tell of it; so splendid,
A beautiful mighty One,
Through whom sin and Satan I won.

We Are All Beautiful

We are all beautiful,
For we’re all God’s wonderful creature
When He made us male and female then-
God looked and saw that it was all good.

He made some big and some small,
Some are young and some are old
Some are white and some are black
Some are short and some are tall.

No matter where you come from too,
Whatever the colour of your hair and eyes
Or the shape of your head and nose
God made it so and we are all beautiful.

We’re made in God’s image- that’s cool;
Whichever language you do speak,
It doesn’t even matter what you look like
God loves you for ‘we are all beautiful!’

Live Your Dream

Why do you stand down?
When you are meant to stand out
The world is waiting right outside your door
What are you waiting for?
Come on, here’s your chance to live.

Don’t let it slip through your hand
Be free to live your dream and stand,
Release the giant within and step out
Let your spirit fly above the clouds
And be who you really want to be.

HEALER OF A THOUSAND DISEASES

He makes the blind to see
And the deaf to hear,
In His name; demons do flee,
And in mercy; draws sinners near.

He makes the lame to walk
And the dumb to speak,
To heal; He won’t balk,
And to deliver; He’s never weak.

He takes away insanity
And heals paralysis,
From sin; He frees humanity,
And from death; He immortalizes.

He heals issue of blood
And even raise the dead,
The lost plunge in the flood
And in hope raise his head.

He’s a father and savior to all of us
And can heal all manner of diseases,
His name is JESUS,
And He’s ‘healer of a thousand diseases’.

A BEAR AND A BOAR

Once upon a barren moor
There dwelt a bear, also a boar,
The bear could not bear the boar,
The bear thought the boar was a bore.

At last the bear could bear no more
That boar that bored him on the moor.
And so one morn he bored the boar-
That boar will bore no more!

AIN’T GIVING UP!

Ain't giving up!
No matter what's up,
I'm moving up!

Foes may try to block my way
And friends may move away,
But I'll keep trying anyway.

Come sunshine, come rain,
Nothing will make me drain,
Through it all, greater zeal I'll gain.

In the end, I'll throw my head in the air
Even though the enemy did ere,
Songs of victory shall fill the air.

YES YOU CAN!

Yes you can!
You can do anything if you try,
Believe in yourself and on God rely,
‘cause His strength for you He won’t deny,
And your greatest wishes, He can satisfy.

Yes I can!
I can make it in all I do,
And all I desire can come through,
If I’m passionate enough to pursue,
Then shall all my dreams come true.

Yes we can!
We can succeed in our carriers
And even overcome highest barriers,
As long as we can persevere,
We can’t be defeated, winners we’ll appear.

ANCIENT OF DAYS

O! Ancient of days
who sits on the throne,
You shall reign unending days,
And no one can drone.

Your garment white as snow,
Your hair like pure wool,
You’re highly lifted; I know,
One who doubts you is a fool.

Your throne like fiery flame,
And your wheels as burning fire,
Your foes are put to shame
And for’er damned in your ire.
