Hands Of God
Will the hands
of God ever touch
my face
Would the flowers
still flower
Would the angels
still sing
If we did not believe
Would the world
stand still if he
ever showed his face
Would we all then
live in peace
Will the hands
of God ever touch
my face

Face To Face
Day after day, O lord of my life,
shall I stand before thee face to face.
With folded hands, O lord of all worlds,
shall I stand before thee face to face.
Under thy great sky in solitude and silence,
with humble heart shall I stand before thee face to face.
In this laborious world of thine, tumultuous with toil
and with struggle, among hurrying crowds
shall I stand before thee face to face.
And when my work shall be done in this world,
O King of kings, alone and speechless
shall I stand before thee face to face.

Early Death
Oh grieve not with thy bitter tears
The life that passes fast;
The gates of heaven will open wide
And take me in at last.
Then sit down meekly at my side
And watch my young life flee;
Then solemn peace of holy death
Come quickly unto thee.
But true love, seek me in the throng
Of spirits floating past,
And I will take thee by the hands
And know thee mine at last.
He and She and Angels Three
Ruthless hands have torn her
From one that loved her well;
Angels have upborn her,
Christ her grief to tell.
She shall stand to listen,
She shall stand and sing,
Till three winged angels
Her lover’s soul shall bring.
He and she and the angels three
Before God’s face shall stand;
There they shall pray among themselves
And sing at His right hand.

The Passing Of A Heart
O touch me with your hands--
For pity's sake!
My brow throbs ever on with such an ache
As only your cool touch may take away;
And so, I pray
You, touch me with your hands!
Touch--touch me with your hands.--
Smooth back the hair
You once caressed, and kissed, and called so fair
That I did dream its gold would wear alway,
And lo, to-day--
O touch me with your hands!
Just touch me with your hands,
And let them press
My weary eyelids with the old caress,
And lull me till I sleep. Then go your way,
That Death may say:
He touched her with his hands.

Face To Face
Key:-

A: face to face and eye to eye
Face to face and eye to eye
Face to face and eye to eye
Face to face and eye to eye
R: leaves from the tree, fall down on the floor
Life comes and goes, you cant ignore
Touch your soul when you finally realize
Youve heard it all before all the lies
Youre on a mission, no time for wishing
It can be magic, like a magician
Face to face and eye to eye
This is your last and final try

We look the world right in the eye
Face to face and eye to eye
Youve one last chance and baby, so will i
R: will we all succeed or is it over soon?
Nobody around just stars and the moon
A race against the clock, is there some time?
Just wait for the light, wait for the sign
You made the same mistakes that you made in the past
Didnt help you out, didnt make you last
Face to face and eye to eye
This was your last and final try

We look the world right in the eye

Departed
In the balcony where you used to stand
The sun reflects vacantly
You are in a distant land.
The flowers your hands plucked
Blossom and wilt without your touch
They miss you so much.
The winds that brought your smell
Now moan dull odorless
They can't touch your face.
From the grief-laden sky
Drops as tears the morning dew
With them all I miss you!

I Have Chosen
I have chosen your face to see,
the face that always beckons me
to come alive and recognize
all the desire inside your eyes.
I have chosen your hands to be
the hands I'll always want on me.
I come alive with every touch.
These hands have come to mean so much.
I have chosen your heart, my love
to be the heart that is just made of
all the beats that say to me
'I am beating just for thee.'
And all my choices in this life I live
have gifted me and will always give
pleasures beyond the realm of real
because of how they make me feel.

Praying Hands
I had a dream with my lord CHRIST
He touched my head, not once but twice.
I felt my body jump up in bed
I saw the nail holes in his hands that bled.
I felt the power of his healing hands
He showed it to me so I could understand.
With faith in our hearts he will heal
And his hands you will feel.
I awoke that morning with the spirit inside
Those praying hands I had to find.
I found a figurine of his hands
And put it upon my night stand.
In my prayers that I say day and night
I squeeze those hands with all my might.
Now when I feel life s pressures are getting me down
I touch those hands that I had found.
And when I feel an ailment or two
Then I know what I must do.
I touch those hands and say a prayer
This is the bond that we share.
There is no other feeling like the love of GOD
When you have him in your heart.

Ill Do Anything
You hold a life there in your hands
You probably dont know
Somehow your dreams became my plans
Somewhere long ago
Think about the things weve done and where weve been
Your touch made me a king
I dont want to live without your love again
Ill do anything
To make you see what Im imagining
To know the pleasure your smile can bring
To keep the light from vanishing
Ill do anything
I fly this airplane upside down
I walk out on the wing
To see you watching from the ground
Ill do anything
When I see the light upon your upturned face
I can hear the angels sing
Dont ever let another take my place
Ill do anything
To make you see what Im imagining
To know the pleasure your smile can bring
To keep the light from vanishing
Ill do anything
I make this world a place for you and me
I make your happiness my responsibility
To make this world the world you want to see
Ill do anything
When I see the light upon your upturned face
I can hear the angels sing
To see that no one ever takes my place
Ill do anything
To make you see what Im imagining
To know the pleasure your smile can bring
To keep the light from vanishing
Ill do anything

I Need You Now
My friend, I need you now
Please take me by the hands
Stand by me in my hours of need
Take time to understand
Take my hand, dear friend
And lead me fron this place
Chase away my doubts and fears
Wipe the tears from off my face
friend, I can't stand alone
I need you hands to hold
The warmth of your gently touch
In my world that grown so cold
Please be a friend to me
and hold be day to day
Because with your loving hands in mine
I know we'll find the way.

I Dont Wanna Face It
Say youre looking for a place to go
Where nobody knows your name
Youre looking for oblivion
With one
Eye on the hall of fame
I dont wanna face it oh no
I dont wanna face it no no no no
Well I can dish it out
But I just cant take it
Say youre looking for some peace and love
Leader of a big old band
You wanna save humanity
But its people that you just cant stand
I dont wanna face it oh no
I dont wanna face it no no no no
Well I can sing for my supper
But I just cant make it
Well now youre lookin for a world of truth
Trying to find a better way
The time has come to see yourself
You always look the other way
I dont wanna face it oh no
I dont wanna face it no no no no
Well I can see the promised land
And I know I can make it!
I dont wanna face it I know
I dont wanna face it oh no
I dont wanna face it oh no
I dont wanna face it
I dont wanna face it
I just cant face it no more
Every time I look in the mirror
I dont see anybody there

I Shall Have These Hands That Shall Write About Hands....
must have i forgotten
from where all these come?
ah, i have read about your hands
and now i shall have to mind about mine
once i had these hands
whose name is
work and struggle and
sacrifice
they lifted rocks
outlined by Sisyphus
and roll them from
atop the hill
and put them again there
in senseless
labor
when i got reason
my hands began to think
as though they have brains
under their nails
these hands begin the
questions
grapple for answers
and got
no satisfaction
they dabble in poetry
trembling and tense and
looking for
a compromise for some
fetish
must have i forgotten from where
these hands come?
someone says these hands are from
the hands of God
whose hands hand what we do not have
in hand yet
these hands did what was wrong then
and covered the face of the
penitent and the remorseful
these hands that slap a face that
triggered a gunfire
that lay upon the hardened breasts
and held breaths
these hands that write now for you
face upside down not asking for anything in return
these hands that speak for you
as you turn your head for someone else.

Love
It is abstract
but has her face
in the hands that touch with compassion
in the eyes that seek only the face of the beloved
in the words uttered, seeking only to uplift
and not humiliate,
in complete giving
without expecting to receive,
in laying down one`s life
so that the beloved may live.

Two Faces In My Mind
there are always two remaining faces
that dominated my mind,
the first one has the face of the body that i want to sleep with
but which i cannot really live with
it is a cruise
perhaps only for three days
then i disembark looking for the next face,
the second is one that i want to spend the rest of my life
but which does not make me wonder
my imagination is shrinking
into a barren land, into shores without waves, into skies without
the stars, into a night deep into the woods
where jackals live
in both faces, my blue butterfly of love and affection
does not hover, as it merely flutters from one flower to another
unable to decide which one
i know the reason why
my soul is restless
my heart had long been dead
in both faces, i fear death no more,
where shall i go somehow is not my worry
i have placed my hands in the hands of God
let Him write everything, i shall face Him weeping

The vision of your sleeping face
i keep remembering
the strands of your hair
silently breathing
each time i touch them
the rise and fall of your chest
is like the blood
that flows through my veins
and my eyes would wander
from your face
then stop at your hands
gently i touch them
warm and soft
the feeling i cannot erase
raising one gently to my lips
and kiss
even when i hold nothingness
i envision touching
your sweet sleeping face
brushing the hair out of your face
and placing a gentle kiss on your forehead
i remember walking away
and closing the door
as i whispered
“goodbye”.

Trust A Fox
Dolly leans on perfect display
This fox is a vulture make no mistake
The day's are gone when I should come to this
End of my day nothing but grey
You'd cut your face up as soon as say hello
You'd cut your face as soon as say hello
I'd cut your face up as soon as say hello
I'll cut your face as soon as say as soon as say as soon as say
Hello

Now I need no excuse up and away
Trust me trust a fox a silly thing to do
I want your blood I'm an Englishman
You'll cut your face up as soon as say hello
I'll cut your face as soon as say hello

A Little Son's Promise
As i was wheeled to the operating room
His little voice still lingered in my ears
The anesthesia was successfully done
And before i went into a deep sleep
I can still see his face in the waiting room
Worried, with tears in his eyes
But showed his bravery for me
We were alone in my hospital bed
Waiting for the doctors to come
I was having a miscarriage
Nervous and fear painted my face
My little boy was holding my hands
Touching my head, stroking my hair
With his soft voice, he whispered
'Don't be afraid, I am here,
I will take care of you, Mama
This promise of a little boy
Kept me going throughout my ordeal
He did touch my heart
And i was moved to tears
Knowing that in his innocent ways
He showed his bravery that night
And promised me
That everything will be alright

My Hands
my hands have ten rivers
there are furrows of sorrows in the destiny of my palms
no mountain peaks to view the world
holistically,
my hands have ten crystal clear ponds
my hands mirror my face
my hands surrender
my hands open
they are all yours too and you are so cruel
you are telling me like you detest me in the residence of your full moon
you do not need rivers, you had enough of my surrender, you are ashamed
of open hands, you touch me and then you make a plea
'please close your hands and with your ten rivers, please sail away from me! '
i know what a full moon is. I too had enough of its light and silence.
i have the nerves of the stars, and i know what sailing away means.
let me thank you for your dark skies, your clouds are too heavy for me.
i am raining tears, too salty for my ten rivers.

A Healing Prayer
My hands are folded as i bow down and pray
My expectant heart is waiting for you to say
Go in peace, rise my child, don't worry
I will be here for you till eternity
Heal me oh, Lord, i beg of you
say your word, and i promise you
My heart, my mind, just for you
Seeking your face wherever you go.
I need your healing touch now
I need your comfort, your peace
I need to relax, to be calm
Touch me and i will be healed
To you I come for mercy and grace
To you I uncover my wounds
To you i bare my shame
Just for you, i will show outwardly
That I owe you worship and my adoration.
And then i am in peace
In the thought of your love
Finding rest in the assurance
That you will hear me..In your time.

The Marsist
Take me somewhere cool
Take a long time
Take as long as it takes
Take me somewhere cool
I want to touch that face
I have seen the face
I have seen the vacent look
Oh, its silly I know
Am I a fool?
I am not smart as a rat
Im much smarter than that
I am a fool who wants to kiss your beautiful face
I have seen your face
I have seen that look you gave me
Oh, its silly I know

I have seen the eyes
And the brilliant ego

I have waited my whole life
And I really want to go
