No god ever gave any man anything, nor ever answered any prayer at any time - nor ever will.

I Believe (When I Fall In Love It Will Be Forever)
Shattered dreams, worthless years,
Here am I encased inside a hollow shell,
Life began, then was done,
Now I stare into a cold and empty well
The many sounds that meet our ears
the sights our eyes behold,
Will open up our merging hearts,
And feed our empty souls
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever,
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever
Without despair we will share,
And the joys of caring will not be replaced,
What has been must never end
And with the strength we have won't be erased
When the truths of love are planted firm,
They won't be hard to find,
And the words of love I speak to you
will echo in your mind
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever,
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever,
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever
I'm so glad that I found someone to believe in again,
I'm so glad that I found someone to believe in again
God surely answered my prayer,
God surely answered by prayer,
You know God surely answered my prayer,
You know God surely answered my prayer,
God always will answer your prayers,
Believe in one who will answer my prayer,
Thank you God
Come on, let's fall in love,
You're the woman I've been waiting for,
Come on, let's fall in love,
You're the girl that I really adore,
Come on, let's fall in love...

This Is My Prayer For You
Peaceful valleys, mountaintops
No dark alleys, or sudden stops
This is my prayer
This is my prayer for you
Love is calling, starry skies
Always falling, but not for lies
This is my prayer
This is my prayer for you
Chorus:
May all your sweet dreams go unbroken
May every wish youve ever spoken
Come true
This is my prayer
This is my prayer for you
Celebrations, true blue friends
Revelations, and a heart that mends
This is my prayer
This is my prayer for you
Repeat chorus
Arms that welcome, doors opened wide
All your loved ones, gathered by your side
This is my prayer
This is my prayer for you
May all your days be filled with laughter
May all your prayers be quickly answered
This is my prayer
This is my prayer for you

You Gave Me Love
You gave me time
When no one gave me time of day
You looked deep inside
While the rest of the world looked away
You smiled at me
When there werent just friends everywhere
You gave me love
When nobody gave me a prayer
Thats why I call you savior
Thats why I call you friend
cause you touched my heart
You touched my soul
And helped me start all over again
Thats why I love you jesus
Thats why Ill always care
cause you gave me love
When nobody gave me a prayer
You gave me laughter
After Id cried all my tears
You heard my dreams
While the rest of the world just closed its ears
I looked in your eyes and I found such tenderness there
cause you gave me love
When nobody gave me a prayer
Thats why I call you savior
Thats why I call you friend
cause you touched my heart
You touched my soul
And helped me start all over again
And thats why I love you jesus
Thats why Ill always care
cause you gave me love
When nobody gave me a prayer
Yes he gives us love
When nobody gives us a prayer...

A Sunday Prayer 04
Dear Lord as usual, my prayer is not for me.
You have answered so many of mine in my life.
You gave me the love of my wonderful wife,
and more friend than any man could wish for.
My prayer if for all those less fortunate than me.
Will you grant them the kind of happiness that you granted me?
Give them all the happiness to offset
any sadness that may have blighted their lives.
Touch them with your heavenly fingers
and ease all the ills that they feel.
I know this is a lot to ask for,
but as I am your servant,
I will help you in anyway that I can.
Just please help them who are suffering,
as their lives are in your hands.
In the name of your son Jesus.
Amen

I hear a voice in my head
Going round
Its been talkin to me 4 awhile
Inject my soul with the truth,
Do you dare? ?
Oh my God its time 4 a prayer
Going down,
Breakin down,
Im underground
Time 4 prayer isolate,

Time 4 a prayer physical
Im miserable
Forgive me father for

God is my sanity split in two? ?
All this time and I still
Feel the pain
Oh my God its time 4 a prayer

Time 4 a prayer aggravate,

Time 4 a prayer physical,

Religious Family
Sisters and brothers are one of those precious members
In the family. Their role is infinite.
They shock themselves with delight.
They read signs and play with them.
Their signs are obvious,
Useful to the parents,
Forcing action of the family.
Heaven can arrive around the bend,
When the families die and their hell is dismissed by God.
Mothers shall look forward to heaven, and their husbands
Are found too in heaven, or shall I say Paradise.
“My son is big at religion, ” says the father to his child.
For this prayer to be answered, the boy must be big, an adult.
His life at the moment has laws broken, the lawful one is not him.
For he is criminal in his action, in his life and love.
He spent a time with another person, and did not get married.
He did not like this now, and not seven times a week.
He must pray and be forgiven, would say God.
God loves the boy’s father, however, and thus the boy is forgiven
For he is big at religion.
The father has his prayer answered.
Afterwards, the father cries for his child as he has lost him to the elements.
The story is such that it makes us cry, and cry and cry.
To find the mother, we must find the father and his prayer.
We find she is forced to marry someone else
But the daughter is forced to object, due to her religion.
The daughter is confused and wants to know why this happens.
The mother blames the divorce on her son who adventured and died.
The father’s prayer was answered but his wife went astray,
and his daughter was too big at religion.
The daughter shall grow and grow to be a happy woman.
Both parents died due to cancer.
It means the average family would die in the ways of religion,
And not religion die in the ways of family.

Dance Little Jean
Played a wedding for the money and I wish I could have told the bride and groom
Just what I think of marriage, whats in store after the honeymoon.
I was rumbling through the verses about how men and women ought to live apart,
How a promise never made could not be broken and would never break a heart.
Suddenly from out of nowhere this little girl came spinning across the floor
Her crinolines were billowing beneath the skirt of calico she wore.
As her joy fell on the honored guests each one of them was drawn into her dream
And they laughed and stamped and clapped their hands and hollered at her, dance little jean!
They said:
Dance little jean, this day is for you,
Two people that you love stood up to say i do.
Dance little jean, the prayer that you had was answered today-
Your mommas marrying your dad.
Well this cynics heart just melted as I figured what this get together meant
And how it ended years of tears and sad confusions that the little girl had spent.
They told the band to pack it up about the time the couple cut the cake
But we stayed and we played all night long for love and laughs and little jeanies sake
We played:
Dance little jean, this day is for you,
Two people that you love stood up to say i do.
Dance little jean, the prayer that you had was answered today-
Your mommas marrying your dad.
We sang:
Dance little jean, this day is for you,
Two people that you love stood up to say i do.
Dance little jean, the prayer that you had was answered today-
Your mommas marrying your dad.

0369 Prayer. To Mike, who asked.
Simplest prayer, soonest answered,
so it’s said; so let us be as little children
(themselves an answered prayer..?)
and ask the simplest questions -
how? whom to? for what? and will we get
what we are asking for? promise?
suppose He or She or It thinks, (if They think anyway..)
that’s it’s a silly thing to ask for,
or just a bit too ‘me’ and greedy,
will they say no? will they let us know
somehow, that’s it’s no?
or will our justice be
to get what we think we want
until the day we wish we hadn’t asked for it?
or is it like the tale of the three wishes,
everything turned to gold – including us! …
another wish, please cancel; then
the last and sensible small wish, which may even
include the welfare of all others too?
Some say the commonest of prayers
amounts to, please God, let two and two
please equal five…that prayers may only ask
what may be within the domain of the law
of our Creation; some even say that, given this,
we’ll always get what we wish for – eventually;
but that by some mighty, unalterable law,
as with the fairies gathered around
Sleeping Beauty’s cradle, as the Fates,
along with what we asked for, comes
a something else for which we didn’t ask…
others say that there’s no difference
between the meaning of a prayer, and praise;
that in our praise, our prayer is surely shaped
and those who do not think to praise
may never know, to whom to pray,
or ever truly know, for what…
and others of a theologic mind
pray to be taught, for what to pray…
or instead of prayer, to learn to willingly accept
all that befalls them, as the gift of all
that they might pray for, for their good of soul…
*
all this is for considering; but I suggest
that in the depths of grief, or heights of joy, we know
the place where prayer may arise:
so deep within ourselves, that it’s beyond
the asking or the answering; a place so deep
that there, our soul rests in peace,
all questions meet all answers,
and all desires are satisfied;
there is no loss,
and nothing lacks;
we are – ourselves; ourself; at peace;
and for that, we may surely pray.

All Day Long Doses
Pray!
Pray to pray for prayer.
Pray to stay there in prayer.
There is no time to find prayer.
You must pray to make prayer,
The only time you have.
The only key you need...
To unlock all that keeps you fed,
And nourished!
Pray to pray for prayer.
When you're there,
Stay!
Like every wish you keep that comes.
Prayer should be the only thing decided,
That's done every moment you breathe a breath
Of life.
Pray!
Pray to pray for prayer.
Stay there in it!
Take it with you
Like you take and do your faith...
In all day long doses!
Without fear you have taken too long of a break!

Walking On Air
(m gibb)
Ive been around the world
Youll never know just how long Ive been praying
To get you into my life
It wont be long before you understand
Even our love becomes a master plan, and so i
I think Im walking on air
So much in love I cant tell what Im saying
Therell be no running away
You and I wont be apart again
I know in my heart that we can start again
Wait for the summer
When loves in the air
You wont be sorry
You answered my prayer
I see the games that you play
And I dont care what the people are saying
No other love can compare
Just to hold you in my arms again
I feel like walking on air
And just to dream youll be there keeps me going
And all those days go by
We will never be apart again
Knowing our love will never die
Wait for the summer
When loves in the air
Well be together this time of the year
We will never be apart again
Knowing our love will never die
Here comes the summer
With love in the air
You wont be sorry
You answered my prayer
Here comes the summer
And everyones here
We will be sailin
Through year after year
You know Im walking on air
I know Im walking on air
You know Im walking on air

Little Birdie
Verse1:
No little birdie came and sat upon my shoulder
Sayin girl youre gonna to marry this guy
Nobody told me what I was supposed to look for
When I looked and saw the love in your eyes
And no one answered when I said the prayer before
No one even knocked at the door
til there was you
til there was you
Chorus:
Stopped crying the blues
When he broke the news
And said that he loved me
No prayers in the night
Dont know wrong from right
When he said that he loved me
Verse2:
No premonition didnt know what I was missin
Until my lover came and showed me the sun
No fortune teller read it in my palm or in my eyes
And I never believed in just one
And no one answered when I said the prayer before
No one even knocked at the door
til there was you
til there was you

I know its all too soon to tell
But I say baby, what the hell!

Say a little prayer for you
Say a little prayer for you
Well, I remember when
You were my only friend
You took the time
When on one else cared
You gave love endlessly
And then you proved to me
No matter what
Youd always be there
And now I understand
Just how lifes little plan
Can make it rough to say forever
But youve been there for me
So thats my guarantee
That we will always be together
When I have sleepless nights
Thats when you hold me tight
You do it right
I say a little prayer for you
And when my dreams are through
I only think of you
Cause you do it right
Ill say a little prayer for you
Weve had good times thats true
Weve had our bad times too
But through it all
It makes us stronger
Well have to build our trust
Because it means too much
To give away to any other
And now I understand
Just how lifes little plan
Can make it rough to say forever
But youve been there for me
So thats my guarantee
That we always be together
Chorus
I say a little prayer for you

Say it, say it, say it, say it, say it

You Were There
You were there just a short time
You were there to set me free
From the depths of depression
You were there to heal me
I reached out and you touched me
In a way no one else could do
Oh how the years have come between us
But the heart that God gave you
Gave you the compassion
To rescue me
Oh how I wish the world was different
Where friends could be just friends
For there were to many questions
That had no ends
Answers that could be answered by you
For who is more trusting
Then those help others
No matter what the cost
For if the bible was written tomorrow
Your name would be in bold print
For you are one of God's people
His glory will be yours
At the end

Now I was in a real bad abusive relationship
Knowing that that was no way for me to live
A young girl like me, raised up in a good family
Way too young to endure such misery
And every night I cry myself to sleep from all the pain
And the more I prayed for sunny days it seemed to rain
(He'd hit me) at any given time
(He'd hit me) no reason at all
(He'd hit me) so, so hard
(He'd hit me) my God, sometimes I'd fall
Mama asked what happened to me
And I'd take up for him
She said the devil's a liar
And prayed God get rid of him

And had a talk with me about my career

Man as tough as I was I'd break down and cried
'Cause everybody knows me
Knows that basketball is my life

Man I tell you that's just how the devil creeps in (oh yes it is)
We were separated at least for a month or two (mmm-hmm)
She was wilding in the clubs
And I was out there doing wrong too (whoa-oh)
And we would walk around the house (yeah)
Putting each other down (yeah)
I mean right in front of the kids (yeah)
We would curse each other out (mmm)
Then I was in a bad accident (yeah)
And almost lost my life (yeah)
And guess who was there for me...

Mirage
(words & music by giant - baum - kaye)
Is your love darling just a mirage?
From the distance, you call to me like an oasis
Though your kisses, keep drawing me near
Is your love a mirage that will disappear?
Like a man in the desert, Im lost
Is this dream just a trick of my imagination
Though I thirst for your lips, night and day
Is your love a mirage that will fade away?
How I pray, heaven answered my prayer
When I reach out for you, youll be there
In the search for my love will be through
Like a dream a mirage, will come true
How I pray, heaven answered my prayer
When I reach out for you, youll be there
In the search for my love will be through
Like a dream a mirage, will come true
A mirage, a mirage, a mirage
