Covered in its essence wherever I go

I want all around me to see my glow

With the love of Jesus keeping me warm

comforting me through many a storm

With goose pimples on my skin and butterflies in my chest

Knowing that it’s God who loves me best

Knowing God’s love is unlimited love

Knowing angels are watching over me from above

Knowing my path has already been set

Knowing I still haven’t seen the best yet

Knowing I’m always taken care of

Knowing I’m always covered in God’s love

But I’m going insane

It all feels so mundane

I’m completely drained

Wish I could get on a plane

Or maybe a train

Before I go completely insane

And my life-force is completely drained

I want to try something new

Change my point of view

I need a new scene

Before I scream

Need a retreat

Something so sweet

Need something new

Before I turn blue

Lord, help me please

The day I must seize

Soak up the sea breeze

Feel the wind between the trees

I need to get away

Seize the day

Try something new

Change my point of view

I need something exciting to do

Oh, help me, Lord

Won’t you?

His Word:

¹⁷ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV

In the Word: Romans 12:1-2

But am I really doing all I could do?

I know there is more out there to see

I know there is a bigger plan for me

Open my eyes, Lord

Let me see

What is your plan for me?

What is my purpose?

What can I do?

To make a difference

To follow through

I wanna do more

I wanna do more

I wanna do more

Open my eyes, Lord

Let me see

The purpose you have set out for me

Let me do all in my capability

Help me change the world

Change the world around me

I wanna do more

I wanna do more

I wanna do more

I can see it now

The endless possibilities

Isn’t that our responsibilities?

Let us do more

Let us do more

Let us do more

And let us remember who we are doing it for

His Word:

¹⁹ Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Matthew 28:19 NIV

⁹ In their hearts humans plan their course,    but the LORD establishes their steps.

Proverbs 16:9 NIV

In the Word: Isaiah 14:27, Genesis 1:28, 2 Corinthians 1:17, Jeremiah 29:11

with the strength and courage I lack

I wonder the things I could do,

if I didn’t let fear hold me back

What if I no longer fed my fears and doubts?

Fed my faith instead

How much further would I be ahead

What dances I’d dance

What songs I’d sing

What poems I’d write

If I freed the warrior within

I’ve seen what I could do

with fear stirring in my chest

I’ve seen victory

I’ve seen success

Still I don’t think I’ve done my very best

Fear hindered my walk, stole my happiness

It stopped me from going too far

For reaching for the farthest star

I go only as far as I feel safe to go

But what if I didn’t do that anymore?

What if I took a chance?

Thread the scary path

Did the dance

Laugh the laugh

I’ve seen a glimpse of what I could do

If the champion in me made her debut

Imagine the great things I’d accomplish

if my body, soul and mind I’d renew

Imagine the dreams that’ll come true

His Word:

¹³ I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Philippians 4:13 NKJV 

I know they are worst problems in this world

Than the problems of this silly little girl

I go hungry for one hour

Others go hungry for days

The amount of food I throw away

They would eat in so many ways

I have a home, a beautiful one

Even if it is not where I dreamt I’d live

But just for my bed alone

What would the homeless give?

So much hurting people

Wish I could make things better

I just don’t think it should be this way

Why can’t we care for each other?

Why do they have places and people so incredibly rich

and others so incredibly poor?

I know if I was one of the rich ones, I’d do much more

I’d change things as best I could

Help others, make things better, I would

But it is what it is

I am what I am

So I’ll just do the best I can

I will still help others in whatever way I could

Still do my best to make things better around me, I would

One person can make a difference

One person can do some good

His Word:

¹³ “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

¹⁴ “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. ¹⁵ Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. ¹⁶ In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Matthew 5:13-16 NIV

Only you could do

You know why?

Cause there’s no one else like you

No other piece of puzzle

Can fit in your spot

No one else have got

What it is you’ve got

So step up

Don’t hide out

Now you know

That’s not what life’s about

Get up

Don’t sit down

Do what you were meant to

Turn this world around

Shake things up

Just by being who you are

You’ve got what it takes to grab that shinning star

Do it your way

It won’t be long

Before you’ve got other folks singing your song

Sing out, sing loud, sing strong

You are a world changer

Meant to turn this world around

Step up, step out

It won’t be long

Till you’ve got other folks singing your song

His Word:

¹ “Arise, shine, for your light has come,    and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.

Isaiah 60:1 NIV

¹³ But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. ¹⁴This is why it is said:

“Wake up, sleeper,    rise from the dead,    and Christ will shine on you.”

Ephesians 5:13-14 NIV

I don’t want to be a mystery

I want you to know the real me

I want you to hear my story

My unfolding journey

I want to be read like the pages of a diary

I want to be honest, open and free completely

I don’t want to be a mystery

I want to reveal the real me

My unfolding journey

My struggles, trials, failures and victories

I don’t want to be a mystery

I want to be real

No matter the reaction it gets me

I want to live honestly

I don’t want to be a mystery

I want to do things according to the visions I see

Despite the response it gets me

I want to live authentically

I don’t want to be a mystery

I want reveal my true identity

Not hiding away my true personality

I want to be heard, the real me

I don’t want to be a mystery

But can I be that honest?

Can I be that real?

Can I truly express how I sincerely feel?

Can I be the real me?

Cause I don’t want to be a mystery

I want you to know me

I want to be known

Through me, I want God’s love to be shown

And I wanna know you too truly

Truly, I’d listen if you let me

I don’t want to be a mystery

I want to reveal the real me

So go ahead

Talk to me

His Word:

¹ Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. ² Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. ³ If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. ⁴ Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, ⁵ for each one should carry their own load. ⁶ Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.

Galations 6:1-6 NIV

Lying in bed, late at night

Taking in my words, next to your night light

I think of you as I write these words

Hearing my voice, so often unheard

I see you on the bus

I see you in the park

Under the covers after dark

I pray my words bring you comfort

I pray they bring you delight

I hope you can relate to my journey

And gain good insight

I pray blessings to your life

I thank you for giving me your time

I pray you are encouraged

and tall mountains you will climb

My thoughts and prayers are with you,

Even though we may never meet

My heart I shared with you

You heard my poetic heart beat

My dear reader, I honor you

You are a blessing to this earth

You are a mighty Child of God

Wonderfully designed by the great architect,

long before your birth

I see you, dear reader

His Word:

¹ You have searched me, LORD,
and you know me.
² You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
³ You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.

¹³ For you created my inmost being;    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
¹⁴ I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

Psalm 139: 1-3 and 13-14 NIV

I wanna take care of you

Make your life better

Take your worries and pain away

forever and ever

If only I had that power

I want to buy you a big house,

one with a garden,

a thriving business

fulfilling your passion

I wanna take care of you

I don’t want you to have to fight anymore,

cry anymore

I wanna take care of you

Fight your war

I wanna make your dreams come true

Take you to the places you’ve always wanted to go

Feed you the foods you’ve always wanted to eat

Make your life a special treat

Boy, I wish I had that power

I wanna take care of you

Every minute, every hour

His Word:

Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

1 Timothy 5:8 NIV

A place of peace and serenity

I want to escape to some place quiet

Hear God’s voice within me

I want to hear my heart beat

Hear my soul sing

Feel the happy butterflies fluttering within

I want a glimpse of heaven

Right here on earth

I want to make it to my promised land

Before I die, I want to see paradise here first

I want to go to a safe place

A place of peace and serenity

A beautiful earthly paradise is were I want to be

Waterfalls, flowers, trees and springs

So many natural majestic things

Butterflies, dragon flies, bunny rabbits and bumblebees

Like the Garden of Eden

I want to see these

I want to talk to God

I want to hold His hand

I want Him to lead me and my family to our promised land

I want to go to a safe place

A place of peace and serenity

And if I must without a fuss return to reality

I want to take this paradise wherever I go with me

His Word:

17 And I have promised to bring you up out of your misery in Egypt into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—a land flowing with milk and honey.’

Exodus 3:17 NIV
