Surely this is life's live beauty!



My face facing up unto the heavens,
Watching them declare God's glory,
The skies are making the proclamation;
How majestic and skilled is their Architect,
To their daily loud speeches my ears inclined,
In universal language they speak to us all,
I watch the sun in it's splendid amazement; 
Making it's perfect circuit across the heavens,
Surely this is life's live beauty!


The sunshine carpeting all that I can see,
I'ts heat and brightness is way so satisfying,
Wow! I want to enjoy as much of it as i can,
Surely it's beauty cannot be an accident,
Perfect display of its sumptuousness satisfies,
The Creator's great love on everyone's face,
On those who know Him and those who don't,
On those who bless Him and those who don't,
Surely this is life's live beauty!


At suns rising to it's coming down we praise Him,
Shining on those who care and those who don't,
All gathered to enjoy it's bright and warming glow,
'He is so generous!' some say clearly and loudly,
'He is so generous!' some keeping it in the inside,
'This is mere coincidence and fate.' few claim quietly,
Yet, to all of us the summers sun continues to shine,
No single bill charged for the sun by it's Author,
Surely this is life's live beauty!

Oh what a joyful day at toddler group.




Silence in the hall is too loud,
All is set and in quiet waiting;
For the princes' and princesses,
Soon they will be in in liveliness,
Life will be here in the hall,
Joy and jubilation of toddlers,
Jumping, skipping and running,
Laughing, crying and smiling,
Oh what a joyful day at toddler group.

Yeah! the creaky door opening sound,
Soft and hard steps approaching slowly,
Soft and loud voices in unison nearing,
 Yeah! It is them already here,
It's toddlers with their lovely parents,
Hurry! Hurry! I better get things ready,
the stickers, the register and my palm,
Scratching my memory to reveal the names,
Oh what a joyful day at toddler group.

Smiling at their innocent faces,
Recalling their names I give my high fives,

Drawing a lively cheer from within them,
Some shy some brave and cheered up,
Time to give them their identity badges,
Reading their faces for responses I rejoice,
All running for what pleases their eyes,
The silence is sent parking as noise rules,
Oh what a joyful day at toddler group.

My sharp uncle's eyes are busy patrolling,
Looking for a chance to offer a hand,

Every single day I get closer to their hearts,
becoming Christ's true love and light is my all;
To the little saints and to their parents,
Walking, chatting, smiling, helping all in His power,
All at once the bell goes and play time is done,
Its the cool one, hurry! it's 'see and know' time,
Oh what a joyful day at toddler group.

In beautiful unity and a big laughter,
We all gather into the amazing room,

Leader's cheerful welcome so heart warming,
Singing all names as we shake hands,
Wow! lets sing.. "I open my bible and what do I see... 
Words that tell me that God made me..." so cool,
A day's lesson story then singing and dancing,
"We put one little hand over one little eye.. prayer"
Oh what a joyful day at toddler group.

The father gift I highly cherish!


dad's will always be the cherished treasure.

Before anyone else knew or did it, you took great pride in me at birth,
Celebrating the gift of a son at hand, deep in your heart you placed me,
You embraced me in a true believe hoping that I would one day become;
Become the great someone you saw in the far future from the beginning,
Before I even knew anything in life you gave everything to me in love,
You sat all night watching me while in infancy I laughed and cried to you,
The father gift I highly cherish.

Your toil with hands and heart provided to all my daily needs,
Everyday you plod along in the daily life hustle for my own sake,
Paying all my bills and filling my life plate with food you daily did,
Every single day in the grueling race of life you worked even harder,
All for the sake of us at home who were eagerly awaiting for you,
I have no memory of any single day you came to us empty handed,
The father gift I highly cherish.

How I daily dearly and eagerly waited for your heavy assuring voice,
Calling out my name loudly with authority to my soft years I sighed,
Your presence accompanied by the safety feeling and hope assurance,
I overwhelming you with questions and issues of the already old day,
My complains, compliments and commitments to you I poured all;
With love, wisdom and sincere care you bravely sat and faced them all,
The father gift I highly cherish.

Even in my many fears in childhood you kept me standing firm and brave,
In all the days of my darkness, you've always remained a beacon of light,
Through many anxieties and uncertainties your presence brought calmness,
Bearing all the challenges of parenting and providing in passion and faith,
Your generous, caring and compassionate lifestyle daily inspires my living,
In love you spared not the rod all to ensure I kept to truth and respect path
The father gift I highly cherish.

I'm doing them with courage, stern and grim; all the deeds that you did for me,
This poem for you and to you I write, all in humble gratefulness I do it all dad,
You've always held my hand firmly hence my grip for others will I ever keep tight,
Taught me to love by giving all for me in love and to lead by serving me in kindness,
You are just wonderful, an ever present comforting arm in all my days and nights,
I can never afford to pay back all but will always cherish you for all you are to me,
The father gift I highly cherish.

Happy Fathers day to my dad, grandpa and all men who have played a father role in my entire life;

Enable me be all you want in me Lord.


Lord enable me to pay the price of true love and servant-hood.

Let me be a light to those in darkness,
Let be a joy spark to those in sorrow,
Let me be an encouragement to the distressed,
Let me be a hope to those in hopelessness,
Let me be available to those in loneliness,
Let me be a wealth to those in need,
Let me love all your creation God,
Let me be a shoulder to the suffering,
Let me be your sign post to the lost,
Let me be a lighthouse to the life sailors,
Let me be your ambassador in this land,
Let me be a voice for the oppressed,
Let me be nurtured in nurturing others,
Let me be a defender of the powerless,
Let me be your eyes to those blinded,
Let me glorify you Lord in all my all,
Enable me be all you want in me Lord.

Help me overcome my fears Oh Lord





Help me overcome my fears Oh Lord,
Help me overcome the fear of life's storms,
Help me overcome the fear of my weaknesses,
Help me overcome the fear of my assignment,
Help me overcome the fear of the truth's dawn,
Help me overcome the fear that pulls me back,
Help me overcome the fear of failure and defeat,
Help me overcome the fear of all criticism, 
Help overcome the fear of telling the truth,
Help me overcome the fear of suffering,
Help me overcome the fear of rejection,
Help me overcome the fear of persecution,
Help me overcome the fear of seeking help,
Help me overcome the fear of all my fears,
Help my unbelief with more faith in you,
Help me overcome all my doubts Oh Lord,
Help me overcome the fear of intimidation,
Help me overcome all anxieties as says your word, 
Help me overcome my fears Oh Lord.

Help me trust your everlasting company,
Help me believe your command to Fear not,
Brighten my tiny spark of will with your light, 
Help me trust your able and mighty arm,
Help me to trust when torn between trust and fear,
Give me the courage to walk the path of justice,
Help me trust your deep unfailing love daily,
Help me realize your strength in my weaknesses,
Give me the courage to love wholeheartedly,
Give me the courage to act with honesty,
Strengthen me that I may faithfully represent You,
Give me the courage to be all You want in me,
Give me courage to embrace the truth always,
Manifest your glory within me Lord,
Give me courage to be committed to your call,
Walk with me through the entire life,
I surrender all to You who is able,
Help me overcome my fears Oh Lord,
Help me trust your everlasting company.

Let your light shine!



Like the sunshine rays lay all things bare,
Shed your light into our dark lives and souls,
Shed your light into this dark world,
Shed your light into our lives oh God,
Let your light shine on us and in us Lord,
Let it shine our Father, let it shine this day.

Help me Lord to love you more and more.



The Lord's love overwhelms my soul,
The love that no words can tell it all,
The love that no song can fully communicate,
The love that no action can never repay,
The Love within which I've found my identity,
What shall I give back to you my Lord?
While I think of your love Lord, tears drop,
The weight of Jesus' loves on my heart is true,
Help me Lord to know you more everyday,
Help me Lord to love you more and more.

Your Son coming to look for the prodigal I,
While I think of Him carrying the heavy cross,
Doing it all for me to pay the debt I owed you,
He did not give up on me not even a second,
Suffered and died on the cross all for me,
While I think of your love Lord, tears drop,
The weight of Jesus' loves on my heart is true,
Help me Lord to know you more everyday,
Help me Lord to love you more and more.

Take away my pride and make me humble,
Help me consecrate my all to you Lord,
Open my eyes more to understand your grace,
In the hours of suffering help me to see you,
In the hours of celebration help me to thank you,
While I think of your love Lord, tears drop,
The weight of Jesus' loves on my heart is true,
Help me Lord to know you more everyday,
Help me Lord to love you more and more.

Where else can I find such everlasting love?
Where else can I find forgiveness of sin?
Where else can I be made His righteousness?
Where else can I find such indestructible hope?
Where else can I find such mercy and grace?
Only in Him, by Him, through Him and for Him,
The weight of Jesus' loves on my heart is true,
Help me Lord to know you more everyday,
Help me Lord to love you more and more.
