Justice and Righteousness?
How can we speak of justice?
Mercy
Righteousness
How do we proclaim it aloud?
Speak up against the cruelty?
Lord can we cry out for mercy?
For those that die daily,
For the helpless children
Those sold into slavery
For abuse and violence
Mercy
Mercy
Mercy
What we need is your mercy
Justice
Fair treatment
Human dignity restored
Yes, that’s what they need
Lord forgive us for our cruelty towards our brothers and sisters
Towards our fellow human beings
Forgive us for we are a corrupt city
An unjust society
A flawed nation
Forgive us when we mistreat the innocent
Mock the hungry and the destitute
And when we disregard the plight of the poor
And return home to our feasts and our comfy furniture
Show us how to walk in your light
How to live right,
Loving justice and mercy
And walking in humility everyday
Jesus we need your mercy
And if no one else will say this,
Then I will:
We need your cross and your salvation

World Need Mercy, No More Pain
before nudity
the world was beauty
After nudity
the world is still fake
the world need mercy
cause that is the main
we need mercy
and no more pain
there is no god
we are the main
make this good world
follow some good way
and, the World need mercy
no more pain

World's use is cold, world's love is vain, world's cruelty is bitter bane; but is not the fruit of pain.

In a world
In a world of madness
The weak fall
And despite the struggle
They work to stay strong
In a world of misery
Were there's only pain
Suffering and fighting
Wars and the inhumane
In a world of cruelty
Survival of the fitness
The unfair and Justice
To the insightful to witness
In a world of people
There are always problems
And those that have questions
Because we have yet to solve them
But in this world there is always something
But despite the situations
Its better than nothing

The War
Strangers are the souls in the world of the wars
The lives cradle somehow between the death and life
They try to survive the hardship of the life the abject truths of life are there with all their ugly faces
The mercy of hearts are extinguished
The spirits at the cruelty of the men got lost
What the eyes sees the heart ignores
Ah strangers are the souls at the winter night they shiver alone
Like wounded birds they are pale ignored
Alone in this world no place for the broken souls
People are selfish their hearts deny to see others pain
Only in the war you can clearly see the simple truths of the world,

Alas, Love, Alas
And now i'm dismissed
I don't know what the love is
If there always will be tears
And the souls never will find the peace
Why the lovers had became so cruel and insensible
Who can bear all these
Are these the new rules of the love?
Even the love changed it's face
Alas, love, Alas
If the humanity's cruelty
Even changed your face
Nothing in this world will stay the same
Alas, world, Alas
Step back my soul
let's live in peace alone
While the meaning of real love is missed
How the world can be so unreal
Even the love changed it's face
Alas, Love, Alas
If the Humanity's cruelty
Even changed your face
Alas, world, Alas

I HATE THIS WORLD, I WANT A WORLD OF MY WISH
I WANT A WORLD OF MY SOUL LIKE,
I WANT A WORLD WITH NO BLOOD SHED,
I WANT A WORLD WITHOUT THE TERROR,
I WANT A WORLD WITHOUT THE FALSE PRAISE N LOVE,
I WANT A WORLD OF TRUE HOPE N LOVE,
I WANT A WORLD OF ANGELS TO SHOWER HAPPINESS,

I WANT A WORLD WITH ALL THESE FANTASIES,
I WANT A WORLD OF IMPECCABILITY,
I WANT THIS WAY,
I HOPE THIS WAY IS MY WORLD

God Full Of Mercy
God-Full-of-Mercy, the prayer for the dead.
If God was not full of mercy,
Mercy would have been in the world,
Not just in Him.
I, who plucked flowers in the hills
And looked down into all the valleys,
I, who brought corpses down from the hills,
Can tell you that the world is empty of mercy.
I, who was King of Salt at the seashore,
Who stood without a decision at my window,
Who counted the steps of angels,
Whose heart lifted weights of anguish
In the horrible contests.
I, who use only a small part
Of the words in the dictionary.
I, who must decipher riddles
I don't want to decipher,
Know that if not for the God-full-of-mercy
There would be mercy in the world,
Not just in Him.

My Cruelty
My cruelty is stronger than a manner
That repels the hearts of men,
My cruelty wittily describes the burden,
Let burden be doubt and description.
The callous men and women can bear
The ideas of a devilish plan,
The cruelty of men is not ideal
But strong, and it strengthens ideas.
Life jolts to sustain, life bears fearful
Cruelty, and this means godly work
Is the superior chant.
My accusations are numerous,
My cruelty is exceptional for me
And guilt can never be a reality.

Constant Pain
You don't know what it's like to have Pain, every time you take a
breath or even breathe.
You don't know what it's like to have to hold your breathe each time the
bus turns a curve
You don't know what it's like when you're standing and you have to move
but you don't want to because you will be in Pain
You don't know what it's like to get up and know that you are going to be
in Pain most of the day
You don't know what it's like for your heart to beat fast as if you just
ran a mile even though you only walked a few feet
You don't know what it's like to be in never ending Pain
You don't know what it's like to sit and in be in Pain
You don't know what it's like to not want to walk because with each step
it will make your hip hurt
You don't know what it's like to sit on your bed and wait for your heart
to beat normally
You don't know what it's like to have Pain in your arm that is writing
this
You don't know what it's like to wait for the Pain to stop
You don't know that it's like to see your hand move because something
inside your chest is beating way above normal
You just don't know what it's like
You don't know what it's like to not want to sleep
You don't know what it's like to experience Pain every time your back his
straight
You don't know what it's like to have my Pain
You will never know what it's like to have my Pain
You will never know and you will never try
My Pain is my Pain, no one else's
It is my burden to bear. I bear it alone. I will bear it alone till I
change my mind
It's not anytime soon. I'm sorry.
You don't know what it like for something to bleed on your hand when you
don't know how you got it to bleed
You don't know what it's like to not want to take a deep breathe because
if you do, you will just be in Pain and sometimes, you just can't help it

When You walked into the world from God to man
When You walked into the world,
from God to man,
nobody really realized
what kind of offering You were making
when You got involved with man
bringing healing to pain,
with a slapping whip drove out
the white plastered priests
and in astonishment
people saw Your love,
when You with the last bit of life,
near to death,
still spoke of mercy
and asked Your Father forgiveness
for them that in humiliation
with pain were murdering You,
before the wide universe
man merciless had portrayed the depths of sin.

Mercy
(Kurt Stevenson, Patrick Winningham, & Chris Boesel)
Originally recorded for the Georgia soundtrack
I got a feeling
of unrighteousness
bitter cold
hollow bitterness
down the road
I walk with loneliness
mercy will follow me I'm told
Beneath this skin
there lies a heart of stone
It's growing old
so very far, from home
but a heart of gold
I may someday own?
and mercy will follow me, I'm told
mercy will you follow me
mercy will you follow me
to the final breath at last I take
mercy will you follow me
mercy will you follow me
Till the chain of this old world I finally break.
My sister sang
songs so sweet and sad
bout a man
whos love I never had
there's a train
bound for gillian?
mercy will follow me I'm told
mercy will you follow me
mercy will you follow me
till my final breath at last I take
mercy will you follow me
mercy will you follow me
Till the chains of this old world I finally break
Till the chains of this old world I finally break
Till the chains of this old world I finally break

The Book Of Pain
One smile from your seductive eyes
is all it took to hypnotise.
Instantly I belonged to you,
my heart, soul, and body too.
You knew what you had done to me
and cared not for my dignity.
You teased and tempted, and gave me pain,
then you stopped and did it again.
Your flirtatious games with other men
caused emotional pandemonium.
I felt like killing you and the other guys,
but I listened to your worthless lies.
Chaotic emotional extremes of love and rage
rewrote this book of pain on every page.
To heaven and hell I was too often sent
to which my pillow can bear testament.
Something had to happen to end this pain,
but I desperately desired you again.
I pleaded with you not to treat me this way,
but your eyes said what you had to say.
You decided to end the tug of war of love,
which you pulled and then shoved.
I couldn't believe you would do this to me,
but you were cruelly lacking sympathy.
Overwhelming despair filled my heart,
I hated you for tearing my world apart,
and yet my love for you couldn't be denied,
this was when I considered suicide.
I resisted that urge for an easy way out
and tried to remove all my selfish doubt.
It's not easy to forget your seductive eyes
and the pain when you had me hypnotised.

Brave New World
Dying swans twisted wings, beauty not needed here
Lost my love, lost my life, in this garden of fear
I have seen many things, in a lifetime alone
Mother love is no more, bring this savage back home
Wilderness house of pain, makes no sense of it all
Close this mind dull this brain, messiah before his fall
What you see is not real, those who know will not tell
All is lost sold your souls to this brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
Dragon kings dying queens, where is salvation now
Lost my life lost my dreams, rip the bones from my flesh
Silent screams laughing here, dying to tell you the truth
You are planned and you are damned in this brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
Dying swans twisted wings, bring this savage back home

Where The World Hits Me Down
Where the world hits me down
I ask you to see me as your own
and make my free from all iniquity,
O God, have mercy on me.
When my whole world suddenly wavers
I still see your stars in their glittering behaviour
and I beg do not pass; let me your face see
O God, have mercy on me.
In my country there is desolation and unrest
and still I am asking you to bless,
keep me from wretchedness free
O God, have mercy on me
My lot is the conclusion of my apostasy
and daily I still see your delivery
while here I am confessing before you in transparency,
O God, have mercy on me
When in glory I stand in grace
then my eyes will be on your face
and in your presence I will have no other plea:
O God, have mercy on me.

Valley Of Cruelty
as i walked by this valley of cruelty
slowly i find, bit by bit of beauty
'it’s not always mean and agony' i said
'if we look deeply in everything we faced'
no matter how much life push you down
you will always get up, to be around
walk, run if you may
with giant steps, blow them away
never you once afraid in destiny
that destiny is you and its me
you need to face everything that being spitted at you
so you learn, which are the fake and which are the truth
as i walked by this valley of cruelty
i found myself, who i want to meet

In the Shadows of the Cosmos
From the molten rocks came coal,
And from the gods came man, unique,
A paradox~ the human soul,
A marvelous madhouse! A maze of mystique!
We are living in a world unknown,
A world of pain and of delight,
A world of water, air, and stone,
A world illumed by heaven's light!
This world is our home, our womb, our casket,
Where we remain forever bound,
And with my blanket and my basket,
I shall stray from sound to sound!
We are at the crux of nothing!
We are in a black abyss!
We are gushing, loving, crushing!
We are something unlike this!
I shall spend my short life living,
For that is all that one can do,
And though the pain is unforgiving,
I'll bear it just to be with you.

My Prayer at His Door
I will pray
Like all good people
and with them
Prayers to God
To only God
To only God
(my God
Allah
Means
The most beautiful
The most)
Please forgive me
Forgive my sins
That I know
And
That I do not know
Give me salvation
Give me happiness
Give me love
Give me safety
Save my world
Save my world
I just lost my patience
lost my patience
I broke down
with despair
Please
Forgive me
Forgive me
Forgive me
My love
I hurt you
with my beauty
& impatience
But I was right also
I told the truth
And you left me
A candle in the wind
My life and days
Burnt
Had hardships
Had big hardships
But God
Your Mercy is above all
ABOVE ALL
ABOVE ALL
REPENTENCE
SALVATION.

All I Want
All I have in this world
Is fire from above
All I have in this world
Is you
And all the journeys I have walked
I know you've walked them too
All I want is to be faithful
All I want is you
All I have is a love
That set my world on fire
Let it fall, let it burn in me
And oh to be a friend of God is all that I desire
All I want is to be faithful
All I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you
Is you
All I have in this world
Is fire from above
All I have in this world
Is you
And all the journeys I have walked
I know you've walked them too
All I want is to be faithful
All I want is you

All I want is you
Da...oh oh oh
