The Table of Hope
Inspired by JOEY VELASCO'S painting, HAPAG NG PAG-ASA
(The Table Of Hope)
Thank you, Lord for this wonderful show
Of happy faces, sincere and true
Without asking why who we are, what we wear
Without doubts, without fear, without a tear
Here we are in your table, your children in the street
Celebrating your birthday in the simplest way
In your table of hope, sharing your food
Where your presence is what we're after
Christmas miracle do happen,
Because you wanted it to be
You choose us, the weak, the poor and the lame
To share with you, to be with you
In the table of hope..in the table of hope..
Thank you, Jesus, for giving us hope
Thank you, Jesus, for Christmas
Note: thank you for reading.You can search
and type Joey Velasco in the Google website & You Tube
and you will be led to his great paintings

So this is christmas and what have you done?
Another year over, a new one just begun.
And so this is christmas, i hope you have fun,

Let's hope it's a good one without any fear.

For the rich and the poor ones, the road is so long.

For the yellow and red ones, let's stop all the fight.

Hope That I Get Old Before I Die
Sometimes I feel like being wispy
And once in a while I feel like being dry
But we're doomed and we're drowned by this feeling we surround
So I hope that I get old before I die
It's a long, long rope they use to hang you soon I hope
And I wonder why this hasn't happened
Why why why
And I think about the dirt that I'll be wearing for a shirt
And I hope that I get old before I die
Clear off the kitchen table darling
For on the kitchen table I must lie
I'm just tired for my wife just served the banquet of my life
And I hope that I get old before I die

Were There Hope
I was never in a league of noble gentlemen
To whom she'd cast polite and flitting smiles,
Only distant hope and dying dreams for me!
Or perhaps descent into a game of wiles
To give a chance of sipping wine on heady nights
With her angelic presence to declare;
Above, an aura playing out hypnotic hues,
And I in awe of blonde cascades of hair.
But no! my tiring soul is sinking in a mire
To haunt me for an age and evermore, for
How could I expect to hold her silken hand
When I am but a soulless ghost of yore?

African Hope
Gather ye...Gather ye
Come...sit at the table of hope
Hear...hear...hear...
I am the hope for Africa's children.
When I can see light, Africa can see light
When I can hope, Africa can hope,
When I can learn, Africa can learn and
When I can smile, Africa can smile.
When I roar with the thunder of the mighty
Zambezi, Africa too...roars
Gather ye...Gather ye
I am the table of hope
Listen...listen...listen...
Within me lies ubuntu...yes ubuntu
Let me provide for you
Let me nourish you
Let me share with you
Let me shelter you
Let me inspire you to soar as the fish eagle does...yes soar
For I am Africa...Africa is me

A soldiers Christmas
A soldiers Christmas
~
Dug in during the festive season
Cold, tired and filthy
Searching through photographs
Sharing stories with comrades’
Wishing only to live them again
Missing friends and family
Yet still trying to celebrate
To share a little joy, find hope
Praying to return home
To feast at the family table
See friendly faces smiling
Pull on a Christmas cracker
Rather than the trigger of a gun
Paper crowns falling
To leave this place one last time
And know a job is done
Break a wishbone, make a wish
For a soldiers Christmas
To find some peace

The candle of hope
Hope for the hopeless and hope for the lost.
No matter the price, whatever the cost.
Jesus had come and was willing to pay
being born as a babe that first Christmas day.
Hope that's a certainty, hope that is sure.
Though the earth is shaken I am secure.
Trusting in Jesus and safe in His care.
Knowing THAT He's with me and always there.
My Christmas Celebration
With Christmas soon to be here
No shoes no new clothes are mine to wear
No food for my table to prepare
My home and surroundings are simply bare
Yet my faith grows strong everyday
While kneeling bowing down to pray
The Lord prepares for me a most awaited day
Erasing all my worries and fears away
No matter what’s to be my situation
A Christmas will always be mine to begin
Celebrating Jesus whose life I live in
With joyful thanks my lasting celebration
He is the reason for the celebration...

Food On My Table
Come and see the food on my table,
For it is prepared for you and me;
And, i am waiting for you in the room of my love.
Life is full of surprises and i want to show you my love,
And here comes the sun of the morning to touch your heart;
For, it is right for you to be beside me at this table.
The food on my table,
As soon as you receive my letter means that i love you;
For life is full of surprises and i want your love,
So come and let us share this food on my table.

The Happiness of Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving
because its Thanks
giving day
And its merry Christmas
because Christmas
is on the way
Look out your window
signs of Christmas
everywhere you look
Dressing on the table
and the turkey is
Ready to cook
Its Thanks
giving and its
thankful we should be
its another blessed Thanks
giving that the lord has
allowed us to see

Happy Xmas (War Is Over)
And so this is Christmas, and what have you done?
Another year older, a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas, I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones, the old and the young
A merry, merry Christmas and a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one, without any fears
And so this is Christmas, for weak and for strong
The rich and the poor ones, the road is so long
And so, happy Christmas, for black and for white.
The yellow and red ones, and stop all the fights
A merry, merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one, without any fears
And so, this is Christmas, and what have we done?
Another year older, a new one just begun
And so, happy Christmas, I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones, the old and the young
A merry, merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one, without any fears

Wishing You A Merry Christmas
I hope that you’re Christmas
Is all you want it to be
I wish there were a chance
That you I could have gotten to see
But I know that won’t happen
You have other things to do
But I wanted you to know
That I am thinking of you
So here’s hoping your Christmas
Is filled with peace, love and joy
Hoping that you got from Santa
That special little toy
I hope your day was joyful
I hope the day was bright
I hope you had had a good time
By the time you go to bed at night

Inside the House of Bread
Everyone has a table inside the house of bread
Pouring in into the chairs the fish have come to roost
Its already started to happen inside the house of bread
Feasting and Forever enough to go around the table.
And I keep to myself in the age of all this water
We can share an ocean but don’t drink from my open well
I wont mind sharing in the house of bread
Everyone at the table deserves to be fed

Hope is a part of Life
Hope is for happiness to an ending
Hope is nothing if you don't beleive
Hope is a shooting star if you see one
Something can never end so, Hope is a part of Life
Hope is delicate from heaven to hell
Hope can't always help the gods
Hope shoudn't be about exciestence
Sometime when you're giving up on something, Hope is a part of Life
Hope can be an empty trail
Hope isn't for punishment or love
Hope is not a welcome guest
When is it that I saw you last time?
is it when we saw Hope is a part of Life
Hope can never be changed
What else that can be hope?
Hope is a passion
Hope can't always save you
Hope is something in Life that doesn't always happen everyday......
