I'm a man
I'm a man with courage and spirit
To speak out so you can hear it
I'm a man with knowledge and power
To stand up tall and take shower
I'm a man with responsibility
To know my own dignity
I'm strong enough to say the words
That no one has ever herd
I'm a man to know my faith
So i wouldn't be a disgrace
I'm a man, I'm a man
Spirit, Knowledge, courage, and power
Those are the things that makes me a man.

A Knowledge Light For Bright Future!
Nothing can be known in darkness;
Darkness makes one ignorant in life.
Light only makes one see in darkness;
Light removes darkness to show a way.
Ignorance is removed by knowledge;
Knowledge is light power leads in life.
Festival of lights celebrates brightness
And Festival of lights starts light of life!
Light of knowledge gives confidence
And helps gain courage and wealth.
Wealth without knowledge can’t last
And can’t give courage and power!
Knowledge is must for bright future
As knowledge is bright power in life!

Have you got the courage?
Have you got the courage?
To deal with personal baggage
Have you got the courage?
To embark on a new voyage
It is crystalline common knowledge
Many a woman born with courage
Has had piffling or no privileges
To travel through life’s hideous passage
And stand stubbornly by her message
Highs but not the lows, If you one of those
Have you got the courage, to end your marriage?
Have you got the courage, to face your fears?
Or experiment with new ideas
Have you got the courage, to say you love me?
And maturely accept if I glee or flee
Have you got the courage, to repair all self inflicted damage
Before your life becomes wastage
Have you got the courage, to learn a new language?
Can you manage with new knowledge?
Have you got the courage, to admit your gruesome rage?
Instead of acting like an actress on stage
Courage comes with age
When priority is no more image
Courage comes with change
Evolving from leadership shortage
In life, at this stage
Courage is something you must engage
It must be clearly visible in every page

The Power
We have the power to
To make a difference
It takes a person with courage
And determination
A leader has the power to change
And inspire others
A role model can lead and
Direct the path to success
Parents have power
Over their children
Good parents can make their
Child's life a success
A child has the power to believe
In what they want to believe in
Nobody can top them from
Fulfilling their dreams
A teacher has the power to teach
Students all that they need to learn
Only students that are determined to
Achieve will use their knowledge
A coach has the power to make
His players a team
I have the power to believe, and achieve
Anything that I put my mind to
I have the power to lead and succeed
I am a person, of courage and of power

Expected Change
Only God above changes hearts; The One behind as one departs,
From a life that is filled with in sin, when God’s Spirit, lives within,
But, many have only a head belief, and from sin there is no relief,
From their present sinful life, not personally knowing Jesus Christ.
They just struggle day and hour, never sensing The Spirit’s power,
Acknowledging Truth as they hear it, but, not indwelt by The Spirit,
God’s Holy Spirit sent to men, but, only when they are Born Again,
Born of God from Heaven above, by God’s Spirit Christ spoke of.
Many men acknowledge The Lord, but day by day God is ignored,
Living every day, on their own, ignoring Authority of God’s Throne,
God’s Power, that changes a life, who truly comes to Jesus Christ,
God’s Authority to make one whole, as the Spirit indwells that soul.
So professed believers do stumble, as their heart was not humble,
When they professed knowledge of, our Lord God reigning above,
With their present spirit of pride, God’s Holy Spirit wouldn’t reside,
In the heart of the professing soul, so in life they’ll continue to fall.
A Truth that comes with Salvation, is God’s Work of Regeneration,
As God’s Spirit changes everyone, who truly comes to God’s Son,
Change that Scripture makes clear, that in each believer will appear,
But, if change you do not see, you may not know Christ personally.

I can see my destination
I can hear my call
No more hesitation, mmm
This time I'm goin' for all

And therefore I will rise

Would you guide me? Oh

Of a strong wind movin' me, mmm

Therefore I will rise
I know this dream will come true, oh
And I will soar the sky

Standin' by me
Come on, Come on, Come on

Now that I've found my way home
I've got to get there, get there (get there)
Though one step seems one mile long
Your bridge before my face (your bridge before my face)
I will take the leap of faith (I will take the leap of faith)
(Spirit) spirit (spirit) spirit
Would you guide me? Oh
(Spirit) spirit (spirit) spirit
Stand by me, oh
(Spirit) spirit (spirit) spirit
Set me free...

Spirit, set me free
(Spirit) help me find my way (spirit) stand by my side
Spirit take my hand and be my guide

Run free, run free

Victorious Living
My friend all Believers need to grow, in their Savior whom they know,
For when troubles do abound, you need a faith that’s sure and sound.
As many people believe my friend, however saving faith isn’t the end,
The enemy prowls each day and hour, looking for men he can devour.
We need to be close to God’s side, where in His shadow we can hide,
And as you walk close to The Lord, The Holy Spirit can use you more.
To comfort a dear friend or a brother, one who’s been hurt by another,
Taking them to God’s healing place, that’s in the shadow of His Grace.
God did much more for us when, through His Son we were Born Again,
He want’s us now to walk with Him, The One who died for all of our sin.
To walk with Christ in God’s Love, filled with the knowledge from above,
Knowledge from The Eternal Source, to help us stay His narrow course.
All things we can truly do, through Christ who strengthens me and you,
God helps us walk a higher plane, gaining power through Christ’s name.
Power men receive from Jesus Christ, who died to give men a New Life,
So against the devil we can stand, when we fully rely on the Son of Man.
He who is in you is Greater than, the one who is in this world my friend,
But we need to tap The Spirit’s power, daily friend each and every hour,
And this as we allow The Word of God, to light the pilgrim paths we trod.
Only then can we live in Victory, through the One who died you and me.

A Necessity Of Courage For All!
Courage comes of clear knowledge and wisdom;
To successfully love courage is most needed of all;
Even to commit suicide courage is most needed;
Without courage nothing can be achieved bold ever!
Thoughts of clarity and perfection are most essential
For doing acts of straightforwardness and boldness!
Knowledge, experience and wisdom give sureness
And confidence, courage and boldness achieve all here!
Survival of the fittest in the forest are for the courageous
That dominate and rule the jungle life in Nature ever!
Education, job or governance courageous set the example
For others to follow the path to achieve better things ever!
Fostering of courage from the young age develops all
To do best things for the world to survive long in prosperity!

The Seven Fold Spirit of The Lord
From the stump of Jesse at its root, God will provide a tiny shoot.
And from this insignificant shoot God Himself will bear much fruit.
The shoot is Jesus Christ The Lord, who by many has been ignored.
However, on this shoot was poured the seven fold Spirit of The Lord.
In the presence of all men The Spirit of The Lord would rest on Him,
When baptized from up above, The Holy Spirit descended like a dove.
Godly insight was to come as He was filled with The Spirit of Wisdom.
Men waited for God’s Reign to come but He Himself was The Kingdom.
Allow one no misunderstanding, on Him is The Spirit of Understanding.
And if you think He is demanding, God has left nothing withstanding.
And in order to guide and rule He’s been given The Spirit of Counsel.
So when He rules with His Iron Rod, He will be in The Spirit of God.
Above all foes He will tower, He’s indwelt with The Spirit of Power.
And this power shall extend from the cross through Eternity friend.
Far above earthly college He’s anointed with The Spirit of Knowledge.
A knowledge far above the earth, for He sustains the whole universe.
The reason He has endured, He was filled with The Fear of The Lord.
It’s a fear unknown to the lost, which helped Christ endure the cross.
By His Father Christ was appointed, to walk the earth as His Anointed.
And Christ will come back walking tall as King of kings and Lord of all.

Strong Courage
My courage is STRONG
It is the strongest people have seen in a while
The kind you rarely see
My courage is when I stand up to people
My courage is when I tell the truth and not be afraid
My courage is when I help someone and put myself in danger to help
My courage is not being scared of a risky task
My courage is speaking my mind without any worries
My courage is STRONG

Sonnet: Knowledge
Deny thee Knowledge never in this world,
Which is something better than even gold;
He is a fool, who knowledge never gains,
Remaining so forever if he feigns.
Knowledge makes a human very wise,
Scholarly, good in demeanor and nice;
Knowledge helps man to know the universe,
And goads him earn more wealth to fill purse.
Knowledge makes a man more cultured in life,
Gives him the courage to overcome strife;
Knowledge takes him near to the Maker;
Man knows God’s love for His beloved creature.
Gaining knowledge is a must in this world,
And helps him always till he is too old!

The Titanic
Forth flashed the serpent streak of steel,
Consummate crown of man's device;
Down crashed upon an immobile
And brainless barrier of ice.
Courage!
The grey gods shoot a laughing lip: -
Let not faith founder with the ship!
We reel before the blows of fate;
Our stout souls stagger at the shock.
Oh! there is Something ultimate
Fixed faster than the living rock.
Courage!
Catastrophe beyond belief
Harden our hearts to fear and grief!
The gods upon the Titans shower
Their high intolerable scorn;
But no god knoweth in what hour
A new Prometheus may be born.
Courage!
Man to his doom goes driving down;
A crown of thorns is still a crown!
No power of nature shall withstand
At last the spirit of mankind:
It is not built upon the sand;
It is not wastrel to the wind.
Courage!
Disaster and destruction tend
To taller triumph in the end.

My strenth
My Strength
Oh Brother! you are my strength!
Your smile gives me the power to survive
And your love gives me the right to live.
The truth is that I wouldn't be existing
Without you, and if I would be,
There would be no identity.
Oh Brother, your words move me towards my destiny,
And your spirit helps me to keep rocking
Every morning the sunshine reminds me of your bravery
And hence, asks me if i am your sister.
Oh Brother, you are my strength!
Your courage shakes me up and blows me out of my fear.
The struggle in your journey,
And the success of your mission
Says me that nothing is impossible, but is a strong will
Oh Brother, you are my strength!
In the days when I am falling, you persuade me.
You are the sunshine and you are the moon.
No dreams would be fulfilled without you
And so my dignity.

Today... 'The Brightness Of The Father's Glory
The light of the knowledge of the glory of God
can be seen in the face of Jesus Christ my Lord.
The exact representation of His being
is shown when the Spirit enlightens our seeing.
At the right hand of the Majesty in heaven
to Him all the power and glory is given.
For the fullness of the Godhead dwells in the Lord
Who sustains all things by the power of His word.
The shekinah glory of God comes shining through
as the beauty of Jesus Christ comes into view.
And the knowledge of the Glory of God we see
The head of all power and principality.

Coffee Courage
The bitter coffee kicked;
I shook and then I licked
My lips and gave a sigh.
Shattered eyes encouraged,
I nearly had envisaged
Waking up an eye.
Another sip; a jolt –
Not unlike a bolt
Of wattage from the mains.
My sockets under strain,
I tried it once again:
Aha! The light, the searing white –
My God, the bloody pain!

Faith and courage
Faith and courage is something that
I love now
Its my new phrase that my mouth speaks
Faith and courage is my new term in my
life.
Its very simple like the song from my heart.
Please-
Please dont judge those words
They are my music notes from the music I have
wrote.
Faith is my belief and courage is my steps.
So let me die with faith and courage because
they are unexplained.

God Has Such Amazing Faith
We talk about believing in God
Believing in lies believing in truth,
Being a living sacrifice, putting our full trust in something that we
Cannot even see
But man, God is the one who really has strong faith
How does such a being, full of power, trust us?
He had a legacy, He sent His only son to the world
That Son was His hope, His pride, His joy, the world's very Savior
And yet that same Son was crucified
And then He died
But through power He rose again
And gave that power, that exceeding gain
To us.
We have that Spirit
But God entrusted his legacy to mortal man
There is no evidence of the resurrection
That evidence is Jesus Himself who is seated on the throne
The Only evidence we have is the Holy Spirit
God's faith in us amazes me
That He'd trust a fallen people, not only with such power
But the legacy of His Son, His legacy.
That He'd entrust us to spread His gospel.
I can scarce believe that God had such faith
To leave the only evidence of Jesus and His resurrection
In the hearts of men
Thank you God for your faith and trust
It's hard for us to put our faith in You, You who is powerful
You who is merciful, You who is loving.
But in all your great mercy and love
You put your faith in us
To spread that gospel
To use that power
To continue the legacy
To listen to the Spirit
To make disciples
To live
Because before You
Before Your sacrifice
Before the new heart
Before the redemption
Before the forgiveness
Before the healing
We were all dead
So thank You God
Thank You for having faith in me, even when I doubt you
Thank You for having faith in us, when we're a skeptical people
So thank You for the cross
I'll
We'll continue that legacy
Your Spirit, God, You, will be the living and strong evidence
That you are powerful, that Jesus rose from the dead
Lord God
I'll
We'll carry this Spirit to the ends of the earth
Because YOUR love, YOUR grace, and God YOUR FAITH
They give us strength

Holy Spirit Power
Always learning but never knowing
The things they so often say,
Having form but not empowering-
The Spirit absent when they pray.
You see the Substance of the Word
Is not just idle words we send,
It has the Power of the Lord
Cutting through the hearts of men.
Without the Presence of the Savior,
In the hearts of those who study,
There is no Guide in all their labor,
Their search for Truth will be so empty.
Voluminous words won't touch another
But space and time it will occupy.
For only God bestows His Power
On a man's word, devoid of lies.
You wonder then, why do some have it?
Their words like flames fly out to you,
The message burns, your soul to meet
Your mind and heart it will undo.
For the workings of the Holy Spirit,
The Power of that Resurrection,
Transcends the plane of tales and myth,
And breaks the chains of false perception.
Desire His Presence, let Him fill you-
And humbly ask for His anointing,
His gifts will pour out, birth in you
Love, Joy, Peace, and Long-Suffering.
Your barren previous life will be
Active, growing, ever joyful-
His Power guides your step you see
He'll make you whole, oh so fruitful!
You'll see the Word in a new perspective,
And you'll understand the God you seek.
His Word will live and be so active
That knowledge makes you humble, meek.
'I run in the path of Your commands, for You have set my heart free.'

And its you wholl climb the mountain

Lift your spirit, set it free
Some day youll walk tall with pride
Son of man, a man in time youll be
Though theres no one there to guide you
No one to take your hand
But with faith and understanding
You will journey from boy to man
Son of man, look to the sky
Lift your spirit, set it free
Some day youll walk tall with pride
Son of man, a man in time youll be
In learning you will teach
And in teaching you will learn
Youll find your place beside the
Ones you love
Oh, and all the things you dreamed of
The visions that you saw
Well, the time is drawing near now
Its yours to claim in all

Lift your spirit, set it free
Some day youll walk tall with pride
