unique connection with God

After we really find our own unique connection with God, above the slogans of timed public displays of faith, beyond pleasure, ease, personal reward, we change the world, but we must follow through, not give up in the face of this seemingly overwhelming struggle.

Make That Connection

Oh what would I do
Oh what would I do babe
Honey I have this feeling
Its never ever ever explained
Yeah Im afraid a part of my heart
Would always feel misunderstood babe
I would never know honey
I never meant to drive you away
Whats wrong?
I want to make that connection, that connection to you
I want to make that connection, that connection to you
What would I give if I could have you now
Baby what would I give to see your smiling face again
You know theres nothing I would not do
No river I would not swim, no mountain I would not climb baby
If I could have you right here once again
I want to make that connection, that connection to you
I want to make that connection, that connection to you
Tell me baby is it something I might have said?
Is it something I might have done wrong to change your mind?
Tell me baby is it something Ive have said?
Is it something I couldve done?
Honey somehow let me right all your wrongs
I want to make that connection, that connection to you
I want to make that connection, that connection to you
Oh what would I give if you would tell me just one thing
Honey what would I give if you would stroke my hand with your brow
Or whisper sweet things into my ear I would smile like a baby
I would be happy like a child if I could have you right here, right here, right here
Right here with me now
I want to make that connection, that connection to you
I want to make that connection, yes I do
I want to make that connection, that connection to you
I want to make that connection, whats wrong?
I want to make that connection, that connection to you

Viewpoints

At Tha Thua they sweat,
eat ice, jump in river.
At Whitsands we're wet,
wear coats and just shiver.

At noon, garlic toast is a must.
Half-an-hour later it tastes just like dust.

Our viewpoints change to meet new data
as smart clothes adjust to the Fashion Dictator.

(And yet the dog with mange
seems oblivious to change;
is equally ill at ease
in hot sun, shade or breeze!)

At twenty I run,
At sixty rehearse the past,
at eighty, well, breathe in my last!

(And yet that dog with mange
is still oblivious to change;
continues ill at ease
in shade, hot sun or breeze.)

It all comes down to the struggle to survive,
the endlessly obstructed urge just to stay alive.
All (including dog) use just one rule as measure,
avoidance of pain and pursuit of pleasure.

Pain leaves an imprint which says, "Leave it be! "
The sirens of pleasure leave a note, "Follow me! "

It's very easy to have slogans and rhetoric that people will follow, but eventually the slogans fall away.

Social democracy seeks and finds the ways, and particular slogans, of the workers' struggle only in the course of the development of this struggle, and gains directions for the way forward through this struggle alone.

Woman In The Struggle

Raving voices
Up raised fists
Marching on shoulder to shoulder
In the Front line
Having slogans
Your snapshots are invisible

May be your energy
To be advanced
As a mountain of life

Being a mother and a wife
A sister and a friend
May be give a breath
To light up the torch

History of the struggle is
Not the struggle only of the men
But the picture of unseen and unwritten
Thousands stories behind

Capricious weakness
Image of the history
Until eliminate reality
It will be also a struggle
Within the struggle
You are invisible

Struggles And Pain

The struggle, the pain,
When will it end?
How much more can I take of this?
How many times must I be tested?

How many time is it till I am wise?
I am a girl with a huge heart, and
I cry for others when it isn't my part.

I struggle with emotions and doubts;
What is wrong with me?
What's that about?

I want to be strong in everything,
but so far I feel as if I have acomplished nothing!
Somedays I feel, I hate this place
but all I do is ask for God's grace.

Some times my faith isn't strong,
and I feel this world is way too tough!
It is hard not to give up and succeed in a harsh place
of races varieties.

So whatever happens to me today,
I'll just face it with struggle and pain.

But I know that there is a purpose for the stuggling,
and I will find the meaning in it...

All that happens to us is working for our good. ROMANS 8: 28

Lost For Words

If I can't find the words...
Waiting for this feeling
That I'm drowning in to subside
You make me swim like a beginner
Like I'm new at life
All these words don't come easy
No they always seem to stop
There is awkward silence yeah
Anytime we talk
Oh but I wanna let it in
I wanna ease all your doubts
I keep trying to get it out
But if I can't find the words
To tell you what I'm feeling
Baby that don't mean
It don't mean that I don't feel it
I'm trying to tell you girl
But if you don't believe just look and see
My face says what you mean to me
When I can't find the words
I know I can send you flowers
To try to make my feelings clear
And girl I could hold you tight for hours
I wanna tell you what you're trying to hear
Oh and I wanna let it in
I wanna ease all your doubts
I keep trying to get it out
But if I can't find the words
To tell you what I'm feeling
Baby that don't mean
It don't mean that I don't feel it
I'm trying to tell you girl
But if you don't believe just look and see
My face says what you mean to me
When I can't find the words
But I know sometimes I leave you so upset
Cos I got all these bits and pieces in my head
I know because I let you struggle with the things I haven't said
When I can't find the words
When I can't find the words
When I, when I, when I can't find the words
I wanna ease all your doubts (ease all your doubts)
I keep trying to get it out
But if I can't find the words
To tell you what I'm feeling
But baby that don't mean
It don't mean that I don't feel it
I'm trying to tell you girl
But if you don't believe just look and see
My smile says what you mean to me
When I can't find the words
If I can't find the words

By Faith By: Cay Thorne

By faith we are loved –
By those who care for us.
By faith we have a heart –
To love everything and everyone.
By faith we can show virtue and enlightenment –
To those who need to be enlightened.

By faith we live within peace –
Especially during time of war.
By faith we have courage –
To do something brave and heroic.
By faith we face discrimination –
In every form there is under the sun with gusto and understanding.
By faith we can do wonders –
Beyond any means needed.
By faith we can do anything –
That we set our mind and heart on it.
By faith we have encouragement –
To try anything new that comes our way in life.

By faith we have hope –
To fight through any struggle that comes our way in life.
By faith we have hope –
To stop all wars and fights;
That begins with hatred.

BY FAITH ITSELF WE CAN DO A LOT OF GOOD IN THIS WORLD WITHOUT TURNING TO VIOLENCE.

Change

She starts the day, paints on another happy face.
Gets all dressed up to meet her friends at the usual place.
All the the while she's longing
Just wants to belong.
If you change the colour of your world,
And you change the fears you hold inside.
Will you find what you are looking for?
Change for you, not for me.
Found everything, she wants that money can buy.
But she is lost somewhere in between the lines.
Ohhh inside she's crying.
Her whole world is dying.
If you change the colour of your world,
And you change the fears you hold inside.
Will you find what you are looking for?
Change for you, not for me.
Change not for herself
For someone else
The way she walks
The way she talks
The way she smiles
What she believes
The way she breathes
If you change the colour of your world,
And you change the fears you hold inside.
Will you find what you are looking for?
Change for you, not for me.
Change for you
Don't change for me
Change for you
Don't change for me

One might think that the money value of an invention constitutes its reward to the man who loves his work. But... I continue to find my greatest pleasure, and so my reward, in the work that precedes what the world calls success.

L.a. Connection

Oh, carry home my broken bones and lay me down to rest
Forty days of cries and moans i guess i've failed to pass the test
I've been sent away not a thing to say
I'm banished from the fold
I'm a fallen angel who's lost his wings and left out in the cold
Ooooh l.a. connection
Oh l.a. connection
L.a. connection, yeah
Operator place a call keep secret but it through
Investigator knows it all he's at the window i wonder who
I've got to cut the line and let me drift find a haven in the storm
I got no time i need a lift to where it's sweet and close and warm
I say
Ooooh l.a. connection
Oh l.a. connection
L.a. connection
Hey, carry home my broken bones and lay me down to rest
Forty days of cries and moans well i've just failed the test
Feel i'm balanced on the brim should i lean another way
Like a flame that's going on the dim needs blessing from the day, oh
Ooooh l.a. connection, l.a. connection
Oh take me away i got nothing to say
It's got to be an l.a. connection, oh
Ooooh l.a. connection, l.a. connection
Ooooh, l.a., l.a., l.a., l.a., l.a. connection
Connection, oh
Ooooh l.a. connection, l.a. connection
Oh l.a., oh, l.a. connection
L.a., l.a. inspection
Ooooh l.a. connection, l.a. connection
Oh i'm down, oh i'm down
I can't take a rejection
L.a., need an l.a. connection
L.a., yeah, oh l.a. connection
L.a. connection
I'm flying away
Take me back home, i gotta get home to l.a.
L.a., l.a. connection, l.a.
Oh, l.a. connection, l.a. connection
Ooooh, ooooh, l.a. connection, l.a.

Personal

Its not personal
You didnt let me down at all
No, its not personal
Its how the world goes round, is all
Ive got some loving but it aint for sale
- give it free to you, my friend
Somewhere further down the trail
Il be pulling out again
Its not personal
Dont let it underneath your skin
No, its not personal
Im only breathing out and in
Im just moving on
Because the groove has gone
Im just stealing down the line
And its fine
Woke up this morning, I was all alone
Instead of her I found a note
I guess my bluebird just came home
For these are all the words she wrote...
Its not personal
You didnt let me down at all
No, its not personal
Its how the world goes round is all
Its how the world goes round

Just a little Faith...

Just a little faith can light your path
When everything seems dark,

Just a faith can push you forward
To achieve a higher mark..

Just a little faith can move a mountain
From its place

Just a little faith can assure you that
Life's challenges you CAN face..

Just a little faith can give you the courage
To reach your dream

Just a little faith can restore you confidence
and self esteem

Just a little faith can allow you to soar
Above the sky

Just a little faith can make you never give up,
and try, try and try, ,

Just a little faith can pull you up,

From rock bottom, straight to the top

Just a little faith can make a dying person
Once more alive

In a world which treats us as though we're nothing,
Just a little faith can make us SURVIVE........

Bless! !

Changing For Them

Some people do it to be popular,
Some people do it for closure,
I for one am not a fan of change,
It forces you to act strange and rearrange,
Sue me,
Tell me I’m not a proper member of society,
But someone has to stand up and stop this monstrosity,
Why change yourself,
something that is so unique,
why,
just to be poplular and chic,
your personality has taken a life time to build,
don’t change it for the public,
just put up a shield,
I hate when people change so they can be disguised,
But you should just let the world see you for yourself,
Please just realize,
You don’t have to cover up your true self,
Don’t be afraid,
Especially by people who have your integrity caged,
It’s not a matter of fitting in,
But a matter of surviving life,
so why let them win that strife,
you’ve worked too hard to get to this point,
all it takes to screw it up is smoking a joint,
even if you’ve experimented before,
it's the past,
let it be a closed door,
you learn from your mistakes and all your inadequacies,
so change your life for the better,
change it positively,
I’m not saying you have to follow my advice,
But next time your with your “friends” think twice,
Only you carry the key to your future,
So also remember you are the only person responsible for your failures.

Moon Boy

you gave me strength, you pushed the blades away from me
oh how we dreamt to change the world
and we would never give in, no matter what they say
a really cool connection in a cruel world
you led me through the nights - and through the hardest fights
we dreamt we'd be the ones - and we would never lose
you made me speechless - and fearless - yet it made you fearless too
oh how we dreamt to be so fearless - no matter what they do
i don't know where you are now - we shared a dream of being together
you led me to the light, yeah - for this i would like to thank you forever
moonboy...
you've been around, a distant star, you've seen them come and go
those unknown chaps without a slightest chance
i know, all without faith are liars even when they're dreaming
i'd even put my faith in god if he knew how to dance
our minds are filled with crazy dreams - they seem to be unreachable
but if you give them up they stay - till someone else takes them away
i met you in this hotel hall - oh nino, ain't it hard
not to be understood
but all you said was: hey, i just wanna sing (like an angel)
i don't know where you are now - we shared a dream of being together
you led me to the light, yeah - for this i would like to thank you forever
moonboy...
i don't know where you are now - you come and go whenever you like..
just believe in your powers - you might find out you're invincible...
no matter what they say...
