A Prayer
God please make my mind pure, firm and strong
God please correct me when I am wrong.
God please give me optimum patience
God please give me powerful sixth sense.
God please take all my sorrows away
God please listen to me when I pray.
(Amen)

Sonnet-Give Me More Patience, Lord
Give me my patience Lord, give me some more;
The world denies the fairness that I seek;
And on the contrary, they hurt me sore,
Of mind and heart that is lamb-like and meek.
Give me my patience Lord, against my foe;
He irks me more, the humbler I become;
And every day, he gives me greater woe;
I've got to make my body and skin, numb!
Give me more patience Lord, I need some more;
My enemies unite to threaten me;
My heart has never revenge in its core;
They will not let me be, what I must be.
Give me more patience Lord, I ask for more;
I pray you open me another door.

Give Up
(bernard edwards/nile rodgers)
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
You better listen well
When I tell you
To be on the look out
You cant call for help
cause I know you inside out
Despite all your hideouts
Im no great pretender
Ill make you surrender
So come along quietly
Heres a thought to remember
I have not met a man yet
To escape from my drag-net
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Ill give you just the facts man
And you can draw all your own conclusions
Ill keep your mind surrounded
With chains of love so strong
You cant break through them
My arsenal is stocked
With all kinds of seductive weapons
Although your hearts locked up
My love will assist me
So that you cant resist me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
No, no, no
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me

You Are The Prayer!
pray for peace,
and then live your prayers!
pray for love,
then give your love a body.
pray for hope,
then make the changes needed
to bring hope life!
pray for forgiveness,
and then forgive!
pray for courage,
then dare to do!
pray for fullfilment,
then give everything you
cherish away!
pray for wisdom,
then listen intently!
pray for tomorrow,
then live today!
pray for truth,
then walk naked and strong!
pray for the earth,
then treat it with respect...
pray with all of your heart,
then be silent and still,
knowing, and believing,
that you are the prayer!

I Cannot Do This Alone-A Little Prayer
Oh lord, give me strength,
I cannot do this alone
I feel depressed, tired
My weariness is shown
Please light my way,
Help me to heal
Talk to me when I pray
When before you I kneel
Give me strength to pass those obstacles,
And leave the troubles behind
Give me wisdom, patience and peace of mind
I am weak, but stronger with You
Hold me in ur arms, and let's pass through
You called me your child,
So hold my hand and walk by my side
Give me more power to be strong
I can only get through life,
With you, along.

Unwavering
Maybe I am angry perhaps I should start to forgive.
Many countries and streets I have lived.
My heart is tiring of the negative thoughts,
My mind sends of the battles I've fought.
Perhaps that's why some hearts don't survive.
For the mind must give healthy thoughts to keep it alive.
Please give me the strength, whoever will listen,
To forgive and listen to my heart,
Stand firm and make a new start.
Prayer for Four Hundred
Let us pray - Lord,
We give thanks for the good that is here. We give thanks for our association and for our friendships within it. We give thanks for our freedoms. We give thanks for all of our service people but especially for those who must travel in harm's way and for those who would be with us but could not because they serve in distant lands.
Bless all who are here and all who are here with us in spirit. Grant us journey mercies to our homes, the expectation of future and happy assemblage, and a vision of - and hope and trust in you to help us with the struggles of our pilgrim ways.
For these things we pray in your holy and precious name, Amen.

Starting Over
OK, why don't you start again?
Just give it one more go!
What happened was beyond your ken,
Perhaps you'll never know!
But try to make it work out right!
And fix things if you can...
You'll suss it soon with some insight
And then fulfil your plan...
When things go bad, when things go wrong,
You've got to end the doubt!
Be resolute! Be firm! Be strong!
And sort the problem out!
Adapt, updat and pray like mad!
Then strive for all you're worth!
'Cos when it's done, you'll feel so glad
Your joy will fill the Earth!

Love Make Me Strong
(terry britten/sue shifrin)
Theres no power capable of
Coming between us--dividing our love
To be faithful I have sworn
Together we can weather the storm
Our tomorrows are ticking away
Our hands are tied--were victims of fate
In my darkness I will pray
For destiny to send me your way
Love make me strong
Give me the strength to carry on
Love make me strong
A tower of strength to lean upon
Love make me strong
The seven seas wont keep us apart
Not with an ocean of love in my heart
My devotion will see me through
Cause nothings gonna keep me from you
Love make me strong
Give me the strength to carry on
Love make me strong
A tower of strength to lean upon
Love make me strong
Oh its a sad sad story
True lovers forced to part
Shot down in all its glory
Youll hear the sound of broken hearts
My devotion will see me through
Cause nothings gonna keep me from you
Love make me strong
Give me the strength to carry on
Love make me strong
A tower of strength to lean upon
Love make me strong
Oh oh love make me strong
Love make me strong, make me strong
Love make me strong

Give In
It's wrong not right so bad you know it.
I've been wrung in and out.
You say you want you need it your way.
You kick and scream and shout.
[Chorus]
Give in give out give up it's over.
Why even bother if I'm always wrong.
Give in give out give up it's over.
So much for trying it's time to move on.
You try to back me in a corner.
So sick of playin' your game.
Too much too hard to take You're giving.
So much that I don't need.
You twist my words
To ease your mind
Don't stand there smiling

I Can Give You Everything
Hurry wont you hurry
Light my eye with your smile
Cross my palm with your thought
For the hand that meets the eye
Brings you closer to my mind
Cos in one crowded hour
You plan to make all the moments
(plan to make all the moments)
Last a lifetime
I can give you everything
I can give you everything
I can give you everything
That I want to give
All alone in the heat of the night
Say come on lets be strong
Kindle my soul
For you are my pride and joy
For it is precious
Sing rejoice, sing rejoice
For I bring you good tidings
I can give you everything
I can give you everything
I can give you everything
That I want to give
All washed up and dirty
I had no place to go
I had no place to go
I can give you everything
I can give you everything
I can give you everything
That I want
Come on with your everything

Photograph
Fear falls out like rain again
Washing over me
You say nothing will ever change
What do I believe
You fall deep inside again
There's nothing left to see
Weakness fills your heart again
You put it to rest
Hoping everything
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up
I try to see your face again
A photograph of me
Your voice calling out again
Nothing left for me
You try to find your place again
Waiting just to breathe
Weakness takes your heart again
You put it to rest
Locked inside again
Locked inside again
Locked inside again
Hoping everything
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up
Hoping everything
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up
Did you
Forget about the things I said
Right the lies inside your head
I never tried to bring you down
Kill the pain and emptiness
Find your love and lose yourself
Well I hope that your just a memory
Locked inside again
Locked inside again
Locked inside again
Holding everything
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up
Hoping everything
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up

Never Give Up. Believe In Yourself. You Must!
'Why should I show concern to someone,
Who has not expressed that to me? '
This unheard but seen in the faces of children.
Those who are fathered.
But orphaned by those mothers-to-be.
'Why should I keep my faith filled with hope?
When that patience I never witnessed,
Being reflected to center upon me to feel and see.'
And I want to sympathize with those lonely.
I do.
I want to show those alone,
My empathy delivered as proof.
I do!
I would do this if asked to choose.
But...
Overwhelmed I am by so many in need.
No power to correct this do I have within me.
Although I whisper in the ears of those near who can hear...
Never give up.
Believe...
In yourself.
You must!
Never give up.
Believe...
In yourself.
You must!
Never give up.
Believe...
In yourself.
You must!
Never give up.

Ture Friends
a friend is a prize to win
a treasure to keep
a friend can’t be bought for what you can give them
or
they are not truly yours
give your heart up to them
take some risks
have some fun
set some boundaries
friends are there when you need someone
to comfort your
pain
to share your
happiness
or just be there for you
when you need backed up
the strongest bond is though friendship
witch is more powerful then
life it’s self
unbreakably strong
and
incredibly life changing
significant others don’t come close
to how strong and powerful
true friends relationships are
even though you will have incredibly strong and powerful
relationships with them
significant others will come and go
but
true friends will stay forever

Song
Oh! God, give me a song
To fight for the wrong.
Though you have given me a tongue,
But I am not so strong
To manage, to unite, to drown.
I have come almost to the edge, and
I am ready to face;
I am going to trace the tract
Of human-toxin.
But, Oh! God, give me the power;
Give me a song.
I want to make morality stay long.
Give me a song.
Give me a song……..Oh! God.

When I Made That Choice
god came to me in a dream one night,
and whispered, 'by your gifts you are named'.
to some i give dignity,
to some i give grieving.
to some i give prophecy,
to some i give doubt.
to some i give determination,
to some i give faith.
to some i give patience,
to some the gift of listening.
to some i give peace,
to some revolution.
to some i give healing,
to some i give suffering.
to some i give love,
to some i give loss.
to some i give eyes,
to some i give feet.
to all i give understanding,
though few choose to take it....
and remember, you chose your own gifts! '...
and i thought for awhile,
and then asked....
'but what about me? '
god laughed...
'to a few infidels i give poetry,
to sing to the weary! '
god, what was i thinking,
when i made that choice?

My Gift To Melvon
MY GIFT TO MELVON
(OCTOBER 3,2000)
melvin Banggollay
Thank you Lord for this day
So blessed like this new day
With the grace of your mercy
and great love to my family
Today, is my Melvon's day
who sung so laud everyday
whose voice is like a thunder
echoing with joyful laughter
Well, I have no gift to give
like toys you want me to give
but deep inside I always pray
for your safety everyday.
Sorry if its only an embrace
with endless love and grace
I can give to you as my gift
to protect you from any rift.
Son, I wish you'll always be
goodboy and not be naughty;
Keep thy faith growing strong
to God even times be wrong.
Study hard with all patience
that you can have the ambience
of a life I dreamt for you to see
but always pray God's mercy.
Happy birthday son and
May the Lord bless you
with good health, good life
everyday......

Millennium Prayer
Our Father who art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy Kingdom come
thy will be done on earth as in heaven
Give us to thee our daily bread
And forgive our sins
As we forgive each one of those who sin against us
And lead us not to the time of trial
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom the power and the glory
Let all the people sing Amen
In every tribe and tongue
Let every hearts desire be joined
To see the kingdom come
Let every hope and every dream
Be born in love again
Let all the world sing with one voice
Let the people say amen
Amen Amen Amen
Amen Amen Amen (To fade)
