Never put off tomorrow what you can do today.


As i sit here looking at the window panes,
I wonder, how it's like being in your shoes.
Perhaps it's not simple as I used to think it could be.
No, perhaps it's not as easy as it sometimes may seem to be.
If i could,
I'd like to be there to help,
I'd like to be there to support,
In good and bad times
I'd like to see it through together with you.
And If I knew it'd be my last today,
I'd treasure my very last moments,
and spend it with you.
If I knew life was going to be that short,
I'd tell you each and everyday how much you mean to me,
and that I love you dearly.


No one can tell the future but Him only.
While this day on earth remains a gift,
I'd try my very best,
to make use of it.
One day it will be all too late,
to tell your loved ones how much you care,
and how much they mean to you.
Time is short, the music won't last.
Use it while you have it.


Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time;
It is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.

IF?

I do not wish to wake up one day knowing it'd be my last,
when many things I could have done,
and things I could have achieved,
IF ONLY I cared to make the effort,
would have already been achieved.

By then, nothing would be of importance anymore,
not even the slightest treasure laid up upon this earth,
but what remains are thoughts of how one has lived his life.

There is no turning back in time.

IF?
Would it even be of any significance then?


I cannot live to see such a day come.
"and that would be one of my greatest fear in this life."

My Plea.

'Tis the morning has come,
and yet another day i'm blessed with.'

Today, O Lord,
Help me understand my own,
and give me the strength to overcome the unknown.

Today, O Lord,
Help me understand the needs of others,
as i learn to put theirs above my own.

O Lord,
I'm but a pilgrim here on earth,
holding on to the hope that i have in Thee.
Guide me dear Lord,
as i travel on this journey here on earth,
so that i may see and acknowledge,
the whole purpose in me.

O Lord,
many times I falter,
but I know Thou are with me.
Give me wisdom dear Lord,
to discern the right from wrong,
Help me dear Lord,
to make the right decisions in life.
For Lord,
You know what's best for me.

Many times the devil comes and say
'Turn aside and go your way,'
But O Lord,
Thou art great and merciful,
give me the strength to overcome,
and deliver me from all harm.

O Lord,
thoughts of all kinds surround me,
but help me dear Lord,
to put my faith and trust in Thee.
For Lord you have said,
'I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.'

Help me see the light in myself,
and create in myself a clean heart and mind O Lord,
so that others may see this light in me,
the hope that I have in Thee,
that shines eternally.

A peace of mind I asketh dear Lord,
and a peace of heart I seek,
For Lord I know,
life here on earth is only temporary,
earthly pleasures but vanity.

As I continue my journey here O Lord,
Keep me safe and deliver me from all harm,
For Lord,
tis the faith I have in me,
and the hope I have in Thee.
''If God is for me, who can be against me?''

Imperfection.


As humans, we are constantly led by our emotions. There are times when we tell ourselves we ought not to do or react in a certain way, but very unconciously, being led by our own hearts, we do, even if it may not be the slightest intention.

See then that it's our emotions getting in the way?

Signing off,
I'm only human.

Till the Storm passes by.

In the dark of the midnight have I oft hid my face,
While the storm howls above me, and there's no hiding place.
"Mid the crash of the thunder, precious Lord, hear me cry;
Keep me safe til the storm passes by.

Many times Satan whispered, "There is no need to try,
For there's no end of sorrow, there's no hope by and by."
But I know Thou art with me, and tomorrow I'll rise
Where the storms never darken the skies.

When the long night has ended and the storm comes no more,
Let me stand in Thy presence, on that bright, peaceful shore.
In that land where the tempest never comes,
Lord, may I Dwell with Thee when the storm passes by.

'Til the storm passes over,
'til the thunder sounds no more,
'Til the clouds roll forever from the sky,
Hold me fast,
let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand,
Keep me safe 'til the storm passes by.
