The power of faith will often shine forth the most when the character is naturally weak.

Shine
Making up my life
Killer in the night
Rattling my brains
Looking for that light
Shine, shine
Ah shine so bright, shine
When she does that thing
I want to breathe her in
Throw away my world
If I could see that pearl
Shine, shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine, shine
The skin is deep
But youre oh so weak
Dont put your faith
In the words they speak
The skin is deep
But youre so so weak
Dont put your faith
In the words they speak
Gimme gimme reasons for the things I do
Silhouette Im seeing in the shape of you
Gimme gimme reasons for the things I do
Silhouette Im seeing in the shape of you
Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine
When it does that thing
Killer in the night
Rattling my brains
Looking for the light
Shine, shine, shine, ssshine
Shine, shine, so bright
Gimme gimme reasons for the things I do
The silhouette Im seeing in the shape of you

Let It Shine
Another lesson learned
Wrapped around my soul
Another journey ends
Another story told
Innocents, forever burns
A light in the window
Until your dreams return
Let it shine
Shine on you
Cause you got the power
To make it come true
Let it shine
Shine on me
I need you to help me
Gotta help me believe
Now the magics here
Like the moon and stars
Imagination comes
No matter who you are
You are free
Free to believe
In the light in the window
In the power of your dreams
Let it shine
Shine on me
You got the power
Power to make it come true
Let it shine
Shine on me
I need you to help me
You gotta help me believe
Let it shine
Shine on me
Cause you got the power
To make it come true
So let it shine
Shine on me
Need you to help me
You gotta help me believe
In the world

Let The Spirit Carry Me
People come together its time for a union
Cmon cmon cmon lets do it right
When the darkness takes control and we lose the reason
Cmon cmon cmon lets see the light
Well let the faith shine down on me and let the spirit carry me
To a place where the stars dont know your name
To a town where the children fly
To a city where love comes naturally
In a country where devils die
I want to be there one more time
When my brain is on the floor I need you to help me
Cmon cmon cmon dont watch me die
And a friend is someone that you allow to help you
Carry me back carry me back hear me cry
Well let the faith shine down on me and let the spirit carry me
And I dreamt of a love that knows no gain
And our guilt didnt paralyse
Men and women and children can walk free
In the world where our devils die
I want to be there one more time
I want to be there one more time, I want to be there one more time
To a place where the stars dont know youre name
To a town where the children fly
To a city where love comes naturally
In a country where devils die
I want to be there one more time
Well let the faith shine down on me and let the spirit carry me

Thoughts To Ponder # 2
I run the race
with wish to win
against the best
Many have character
others show power
I rely on humility
Character breaks when provoked
while power fails when over ruled
but humility stands against all odds
At the end of obstacles
true humility will prevail
as character and power fail

Doin' What Comes Natur'lly
ANNIE OAKLEY and FEMALE CHORUS:
Folks are dumb where I come from,
They ain't had any learning.
Still they're happy as can be
Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally).
Folks like us could never fuss
With schools and books and learning.
Still we've gone from A to Z,
Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally)
You don't have to know how to read or write
When you're out with a feller in the pale moonlight.
You don't have to look in a book to find out
What he thinks of the moon and what is on his mind.
That comes naturally (that comes naturally).
My uncle out in Texas can't even write his name.
He signs his checks with "x's"
But they cash them just the same.
If you saw my pa and ma,
You'd know they had no learning,
Still they've raised a family
Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally)
Cousin Jack has never read an almanac on drinking
Still he's always on the spree
Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally).
Sister Sal who's musical has never had a lesson,
Still she's learned to sing off-key
Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally).
You don't have to go a private school
Not to pick up a penny near a stubborn mule,
You don't have to have a professor's dome
Not to go for the honey when the bee's not home.
That comes naturally (that comes naturally).
My tiny baby brother, who's never read a book,
Knows one sex from the other,
All he had to do was look,
Grandpa Bill is on the hill
With someone he just married.
There he is at ninety-three,
Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally

The object of man's worship, whatever it be, will naturally be his standard of perfection. He clothes it with every attribute, belonging, in his view, to a perfect character; and this character he himself endeavors to attain.

Testing Your Faith
I'm not testing your faith, I believe in you, and that my GOD is the truth! I know, sometimes it looks as if I'm testing your faith, when something hits me hard that's too much I begin to give up so easily! When I should know through you everything will be okay! sometimes I gotta cry and naturally wonder WHY? is my life this way! is it because we are humans as much as creatures whom you've made? I have somehow tested my own faith! yet I believe! then something go wrong and my faith has weakened me! then I listen to your words and they shall be all I take, and when I fall I look up to you, and I say this life is a test my GOD! filled with your faith! so after each storm how can I really test your faith...

From the biography of an unknown woman: VI
Without rancour
Without regret
She simply accepts
All and who come her way
Sometimes she flies
Most times she falls
After all, what goes up
Has to come down, you see
She might appear weak
She might seem funny
But she goes on
With her repository of faith
She has faith in you
She has faith in them
The faith she has in you
Is in fact faith in herself

Character is the foundation stone upon which one must build to win respect. Just as no worthy building can be erected on a weak foundation, so no lasting reputation worthy of respect can be built on a weak character.

What Is Faith
what is faith when you can not see.,
when the ones around you do not belive.,
when you try an try an still dont achive.,
but can pick your self up an say i still belive.,
when it hurt's an you still dont cry because faith has kept you alive.,
when you seem down an feel no hope its faith thats says lets go.,
when heartbreak comes an you feel the pain an your heart is pulled with an awfull strain it faith that says stay in the gamn.,
FAITH: IN MY OWN WORDS: FAITH IS THE POWER THAT GOD HAS BLESSED US WITH THE POWER TO SAY II BELIVE EVEN WHEN ALL ODDS ARE AGANST YOU AN YOU CAN STILL BELIVE THAT THERES AWAY THATS GODS WORD FROM HIM TO US THAT ITS GOING TO BE OK., FAITH.,

A.f.u.
90 days on the road is what i need
When my axe cuts me deep, i let it bleed
On the stage, off my strings, down my face
And all over me
Pumpin' up for the show
Feelin' like something's gonna blow
S'got me all fired up
Yes, i'm all fired up
Through the ice into the fire
Blowin' steam
North and south, east n'west, right n'left
I'm always extreme
Don't like the middle squeezing me
I don't like nothin' in between
Yes, i'm all fired up
Got me all fired up
When the rest have packed it up
I'm alive, i'm electric, inspired
I, i'm naturally wired
Wired, naturally wired
Wired, wired
I'm naturally wired
Naturally wired
Wired, naturally wired
Wired, naturally wired

Once you embody the language, the character comes really naturally, especially when you put the costume on.
Lovin' U

Character
The character
Of a man is
Known by
What he does
To you…
When you are
Weak and downtrodden
Does he uplift you?
Does he exploit you?
Upliftment may be
Mental, emotional
Physical or financial
Exploitation may
Also be the same
If you are able to answer
How he treats you…
You'll be able to decipher
What his character shows
You

God Buds From Faith
They say for the weak and the wretched,
Your grace is always there.
Those who have a complete submission
To You, You take them care.
Faith in you, faith alone, faith in the core,
Steadily leads the boat, to the desired shore.
Faith culminates in transformed transcendence,
Our life and love, are strung on Faith's harp.
They say, and I acquiesce, the soul in faith,
Our strongest conscience ever lives with.
Your mystery, prophets' history, find lore,
Faith is the only oasis, in transient shore.

Precious Angel
Precious angel, under the sun,
How was I to know youd be the one
To show me I was blinded, to show me I was gone
How weak was the foundation I was standing upon?
Now theres spiritual warfare and flesh and blood breaking down.
Ya either got faith or ya got unbelief and there aint no neutral ground.
The enemy is subtle, how be it we are so deceived
When the truths in our hearts and we still dont believe?
Shine your light, shine your light on me
Shine your light, shine your light on me
Shine your light, shine your light on me
Ya know I just couldnt make it by myself.
Im a little too blind to see.
My so-called friends have fallen under a spell.
They look me squarely in the eye and they say, all is well.
Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high
When men will beg God to kill them and they wont be able to die?
Sister, lemme tell you about a vision I saw.
You were drawing water for your husband, you were suffering under the law.
You were telling him about buddha, you were telling him about mohammed
In the same breath.
You never mentioned one time the man who came and died a criminals death.
Shine your light, shine your light on me
Shine your light, shine your light on me
Shine your light, shine your light on me
Ya know I just couldnt make it by myself.
Im a little too blind to see.
Precious angel, you believe me when I say
What God has given to us no man can take away.
We are covered in blood, girl, you know our forefathers were slaves.
Let us hope theyve found mercy in their bone-filled graves.
Youre the queen of my flesh, girl, youre my woman, youre my delight,
Youre the lamp of my soul, girl, and you touch up the night.
But theres violence in the eyes, girl, so let us not be enticed
On the way out of egypt, through ethiopia, to the judgment hall of christ.
Shine your light, shine your light on me
Shine your light, shine your light on me
Shine your light, shine your light on me
Ya know I just couldnt make it by myself.
Im a little too blind to see.

The POWERFULL
I am the power
Below my bower
Are decided
The bullet’s shower
I am the power
If you are rebel
But are capable
I would help you
Like the crow’s pebble
I am the power
If you are weak
My help is bleak
Let you not shriek
Due to oppression
I am the power
All kinds of “cracies”
Are my policies
Brutal use of power
Are my legacies
I am the power
All organizations
Are in collaboration
Always abet me
In all possible fashion
I am the power
Poor are exploited
Rich are invited
For attaining coffers
Looted from the blighted
I am the power
My ostensible fights
For the all human right
Are my devices
That help me flight
I am the power
