A sublime faith in human imbecility has seldom led those who cherish it astray.

Cherish The Day
you're ruling the way that i move
and i breathe your air
you only can rescue me
this is my prayer
if you were mine
if you were mine
i wouldn't want to go to heaven
i cherish the day
i won't go astray
i won't be afraid
you won't catch me running
you're ruling the way that i move
you take my air
you show me how deep love can be
you're ruling the way that i move
and i breathe your air
you only can rescue me
this is my prayer
i cherish the day
i won't go astray
i won't be afraid
you won't catch me running
i cherish the day
i won't go astray
i won't be afraid
won't run away
you show me how deep love can be
you show me how deep love can be
this is my prayer
i cherish the day
i won't go astray
i won't be afraid
won't run away
won't shy
i cherish the day
i won't go astray
i cherish the day
i cherish the day
i cherish the day
i cherish the day
i cherish the day

Cherish
Cherish
those who are close to you
before they go away.
Cherish
all your memories
in case they fade someday.
Cherish
each day you have,
treat it as your last.
Cherish
everything you have
ensuring they never get lost.
Cherish
every moment
as if it maybe your last.
Cherish
everything you possess,
as you might never get it again.
Cherish
your life,
as it is the only one you got.
Cherish
your health
if it fails you will fade away.
Cherish
the love of others
and return it equally.
But most of all
cherish everything.

Afraid To Love
So seldom does she think of love
and seldom does she want to.
It isn't that she's cold or bad,
it's that she cannot hold you.
If she were to allow herself
to hunger for your kiss,
her heart would be like jelly
and many beats would miss.
So seldom she allows herself
this pleasure and this pain
for she would surely die for love
and cannot take the strain.
If you would promise faithfully
to be her true, true friend.
To comfort her and cherish her
and be there at her end.
But life is such a fickle beast
and even though she cares.
She cannot, no she dare not
offer love and be ensnared.

Cherish God's Child
If you could but cherish God's child,
Revered Saviour within...
You'd see beyond this world so wild,
Perhaps lost souls to win...
If you could but give extra time,
A golden hour or two...
Perhaps you'd find God's truth sublime,
Give credit where it's due...
If you could but open His door,
God's opportunity...
You'd search God's Word, discover more
And gain God's clemency...
If you could but study and learn,
Absorb faith like a sponge,
What wondrous wisdom you'd discern...
Should you but take the plunge...
If you could but stretch out your hands -
Like Christ upon His cross,
Be humble to the Lord's commands,
You'd count your dreams as dross.
If you could but cherish God's child,
'Our Father who art in Heaven'
Would cleanse you till you're undefiled,
In Christ's Name... loved, forgiven...

Blackslide
I for one have faith quite strong
In the Lord above I can't go wrong
Amidst adversities I just kneel to pray
Ask God for guidance so I can't go astray
Yet as human I am not perfect
Temptations insist I can't detect
That sometimes I just found lost
And weary that my faith can't boost
So at times when I become confused
My heart and mind are seemed diffused
That I succumb to imperfection on my action
Later I found myself driven to loss my devotion
I become someone who losses grip
On my faith every time trespasses slip
That I forget to call upon the Almighty
Which makes me a backslider and filthy

When Astray
A total warrior closes his sword when astray,
Offered by him is the law of the cured, when astray.
Destiny has its roots in madness of a solution,
Off the wall a man jumps to self-award, when astray.
Heads of government lie everyday to their comrades,
Then fetching taxes is the priority with the Board when astray.
Some combat achieved combats, more than a sport,
To swear to the utter ruin of elders to be adored when astray.
A section of the clause inside a commandment
Shows us the way to the ones who have explored when astray.
The wars are attempted by one man mostly,
My heavenly war is slightly deplored when astray.

Love Cherish Love
If you have a Love
That feels the same for you
Cherish this Love
For you will never be blue
If you have a Love
Who is thankful & grateful
Cherish this Love
For she will always be plentiful
If you have a Love
Who has grace & style
Cherish this Love
For you will have the grandest smile
If you have a Love
Who rises like Sunshine
Cherish this Love
For she is pure, true & divine
If you have a Love
Who dreams like Midnight
Cherish this Love
For she will always do you right
If you have a Love
Who inhances like Spring
Cherish this Love
For the Bluebirds will forever sing
If you have a Love
Who is as bright as a Star
Cherish this Love
For she will carry you very far

Princess Of Egypt
Im coming home
And I dont want to hear another word about this
Its hard to fight well
And come alone back from the abyss
No more of them lunatic thoughts times up
For the don quixote
All I ever wanted was to give this my best shot
The sad part is that you come
From a different kind of life
Im up and leaving now Im living by the knife
Ive lost my faith in human kind and its time for a rest
Even though I did my best I didnt pass your test
You are the princess of egypt and Im just a man
I want to be with you, I feel astray
I need a miracle how to make you understand
Id make you happy but youre far away
You dont know what youre missing
What it is you leave behind
My good intentions for you makes me one of a kind
Youll get by in your fortress
You will hide behind that wall
But one day you will find out you almost had it all
The sad part is that you come
From a different kind of life
Im up and leaving now Im living by the knife
Ive lost my faith in human kind and its time for a rest
Even though I did my best I didnt pass your test
You are the princess of egypt and Im just a man
I want to be with you, I feel astray
I need a miracle how to make you understand
Id make you happy but youre far away

Have Faith
You don't have always told me what I should do
You don't need to text me just to scold me
Don't put your sour face when it is not going like your plan
Don't shout like I can not hear you
It hurts
Have faith
That I have some sense
Have faith
That I won't do reckless thing
Have faith
That I can think what's good myself
I may make a mistake
But I'm just human
I am not perfect
So have a little faith in me
Even though sometimes you irritating me
Even though I'm tempted to ignore you
Don't make me try to avoid you
Don't make me fear to open your message
It's exhausting
Have faith
That I'm not abandoning you
Have faith
That I don't mean to hurt you
Have faith
That I'm not heartless to just leave you when you need me
Please see from my point of view
I have my own problem
I also have a feeling
I want a little faith in me

Love and Faith
All we have is love and faith
So much of life is fragile
We learn
And can be taken away
So much can go astray
But for love and faith
The last things to leave us
The first we hope for when we stray
The two things we pray
Even when heath and youth wither away
We may or may not feel loved ourselves
But if we have love in our heart we are truely blessed
And if we have faith we have what is best
Because God will see us through the rest

Strengthen My Faith
Strengthen my faith,
Father.
Wherever You are.
Wherever I am.
Whenever it's done.
Stengthen my faith,
Father.
Wherever I go.
And whomever I may know...
Let this show.
I am the son of You the One.
Strengthen my faith,
Father.
Let it reveal,
Just how I feel.
In every way...
With no debating,
Or temptations awaiting to test...
To lead me astray!
Let the 'light' shine,
A divine mind within me.
Knowing,
And showing...
I can grow!
Let me define,
How You are there inside me.
Guiding with a hold...
I can not let go!
Strengthen my faith,
Father.
Wherever You are.
Wherever I am.
Whenever it's done.
I will be right here...
Expressing without doubt,
Who and What fulfills all my needs!
Even 'if' and when I am found on my knees...
Pleading.

The Gift of Faith
It is said, “Faith is a gift from above,
God-given to those who believe”.
In fact, Faith is to all mankind given,
But for some it remains hidden
In the recesses of the mind
Until they seek it and find
That it is, indeed, God-given.
Faith is often discovered
After some anguish and doubt;
But whichever way is followed
That way is lit by its light.
No one has gone astray
Who sought to find a way
To uncover a gift so great.
But how does one make a start,
And seek a gift hidden from sight,
When there are no signs to mark
A way where all around is dark?
Here is a useful suggestion:
Take the highway of persuasion,
Never the by-way of refutation,
Don’t deride the Faith of another,
Nor dismiss Faith altogether,
Never cease from seeking,
Or ever despair of finding
The goal of your search,
The gift within your reach.

Lost My Faith
We both know
That the harder we try
Can't understand it
We're so caught up in the reasons why
Station to station
And we couldn't even say their names
I realized it
Was just a game
I had lost my faith
Long ago
I had lost my faith
Long ago
I can see
That if I stay close to your side
All of my pressures now
I know they will subside
If ever you need me
All you gotta do is fall
I hear you sayin'
That you got it all
I had lost my faith
Long ago
I had lost my faith
Long ago
A stranger so it seems
I lie here for you touch
But what I'd like to know
Is why do I want you so much
You say that's all the same
All through my life
I have
Waited for you
And
Have you waited too
are you feeling what I'm feeling
Ohhhh.... I
I had lost my faith
Long ago
I had lost my faith long ago
I had lost my faith
Long ago
I had lost my faith
Long ago
I lost my faith
I lost my faith
I lost my faith
Ohh love
