IT'S HIS CHOICE.
IT'S HIS CHOICE.
A man is not more than a child
in his small knowledge of the world.
His soul is from his divine Lord;
it tends to live and death abhors.
He loves to live, but life goes fast.
He has no means to stay alive.
The Lord loves him but wants His love
to make him blameless like Himself.
When man opposes God's good will
and follows what makes him choose sin,
its blemish gives him great headache,
but he still yearns for endless being.
It is his choice to stay alive
with those who reap...

WHAT'S THE SECRET OF THE CHANGE?
WHAT'S THE SECRET OF THE CHANGE?
The apostles were afraid
and escaped from place to place.
After resurrection, they
did not care about their death.
What could make them bold and willed
to defy abuse and pain,
with no wish to shun an end
passed through boiling oil or worse?
They beheld in Christ the might
that could make their world so cheap
when compared with what He'd done
that submerged their hearts with bliss.
Kinds of bliss equal to joy,
seen in heaven,...

RESURRECTION, THE UNIQUE ACT
RESURRECTION, THE UNIQUE ACT
I'm so glad You stayed so short
in the grave, then came back soon,
filled our hearts with greatest mirth
with a deed just you can do.
None could think you would return
to reveal rebirth above,
giving man the greatest hope
that could prove You are the Son.
Man was thrilled when you arrived
and so pleased for his own life.
Then, we live on earth to start
happy life with God once more.
Cheer up, man, you come to earth
not to grieve and live in fear.
Death has no...

THE UNBEARABLE SIGHT
THE UNBEARABLE SIGHT
Lord, You are the mind of God.
You could make the world worthwhile
to the sinners, and l am
one of them; You rescued us.
Life was torment to my heart.
You revealed to me the way
that could make remorse a breeze
of delightful zest so fresh.
I began to live my joy
with You sitting just beside.
You've become what l live for.
Far from You is sin and fright.
Don't depart from me, my Lord.
You've obtained my peace and mirth.
To behold you on the cross
causes me the complete loss. ...

DON'T FIGHT BAD THOUGHTS; LIVE GOODNESS.
DON'T FIGHT BAD THOUGHTS; LIVE GOODNESS.
Sin is what you act so badly
just against those whom you value.
What do you expect or wait for
when you wrong your loving father?
Parents give their lives to children
and their love is void of hatred.
Love and hatred can't coexist,
same with dirt and best materials.
Thoughts of hatred bring disasters
even when you try to shun them.
If you want to live what's pleasant
with yourself just think of passion.
Fondness will produce what's noble.
Nobleness will make life...

WHERE'S THE JOY OF Love?
WHERE'S THE JOY OF LOVE?
Love's not to exploit but give
what you have or even more
as your aim is to behold
whom you love is full of cheer.
Life for you will have one aim
not to live it for yourself
but to make that whom you love
see what's charming in it's folds.
Life gets hard for you to live.
Where is joy that love can grant?
There's no joy you chase for self
but for whom you fear their sighs.
Love is not a piece of sweet
that confers on you delight.
It's a burden causing pain ...

THE LOVE THAT BUILDS A HOME
THE LOVE THAT BUILDS A HOME
I think that God wants all mankind
to do exactly as Christ said,
"Those whom God joined none can divide
as both become not two but one."
They see their children represent
what their dad or mum really has
either in their forms or their traits,
which makes them get more strongly tied.
They both consider their dear mates
their treasure that can move their souls
and want to give their hearts and minds
to see the other satisfied.
Where else can...

DIRTY SEX LEADS ASTRAY.
DIRTY SEX LEADS ASTRAY.
How can a person love and cause
a serious harm to his own dear?
They go to bed and know their act
is urged by evil, their main foe.
What they commit will pass so fast,
but it immerses them in dirt
that blocks the rays of joy and light
which take them up to supreme heights.
This light can clear the way of saints
that leads to mirth so cool and wise
which gives them samples of a life

UNSEEN BUT TRUSTWORTHY
UNSEEN BUT TRUSTWORTHY
I love the people all as they
are hopeless and don't know their way.
They look for something that gives hope
but find in front what yields despair.
They are the flock who are quite lost.
They're far from home, and it is dusk.
They pray for someone who can lead
their stumbling footsteps ere it's dark.
They seek a shepherd they can see,
but none lives there except some wolves.
They direct them to their dark cave
to slay and eat, then lick their blood.
The shepherd that gives them repose ...

SAINT VALENTINE'S DAY
SAINT VALENTINE'S DAY
The world still has some people who believe
in that pure life in which Saint Valentine
was keen on seeing spouses would attain
the life which was so full of Jesus' bliss.
It is the way that keeps their love aflame
and joins them from the moment when it starts.
It is the kind of love that will increase
till it becomes the lord of the two hearts.
The two will get like one. None can divide
as each will see their duty in the world
through what the other needs to have a smile
and when it shows itself, he...

HAPPIER THAN YOU IMAGINE
HAPPIER THAN YOU IMAGINE
Is your love for those around you
just for some-time or forever?
If it's just for worldly periods
cruel is death for minded mankind.
How can you depart with all those
who have left you to your sorrow?
What can compensate that feeling
if no meeting is to follow?
What's your hope if you are walking
to a change that makes you nothing?
From mere nothing to another
never gives you satisfaction.
Man, you're walking to that pleasure
where you'll meet your sublime Father,

ONLY IN THAT MAN AND GOD
ONLY IN THAT MAN AND GOD
Where can we find the greatest hope
in this so vast and endless world?
We need support for this hard life
and just in Him it can be found.
When children are afraid, they go
to parents, their secure resort.
They get so fond of those great two
until they turn white-haired and old.
Who can achieve the parents' role
except Who came to earth and wept.
He cured the sick and raised the dead
and had no cushion for His head.
He gave the people bread to eat
and wine to drink...
