At One With You
Verse 1
Keep me planted on solid ground, where true salvation can be found
Purified and free from shame, calling those who seek your name
With such power to move unseen and search the depth of my inmost being
For your glory of which I strive, with your strength I am alive
Chorus
To be at one with you, is instrumental to my growth
For all I’ve found in you, with tender mercy
A true unfailing love, with an everlasting oath
A core desire for you, so ever sincerely
Verse 2
Basking in your presence here, a stillness I can...

Twelve Months of the Year
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/twelve-months-of-the-year
Of the month of January, begin the year so merrily
Of the month of February, red rose for the family
Of the month of March, Mother’s Day flowers
Of the month of April, watering showers
Of the month of May, awaited holiday
Of the month of June, happy Father’s Day
Of the month of July, school holidays
Of the month of August, summer music plays
Of the month of September, a harvest in store
Of the month of October, a fairground tour
Of the month of November, bonfire night...

Draw Me
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/draw-me
I stand so tall and slightly lean
The sharpest creature ever seen
My t-shirt boldly has a rose
I have a much lengthened nose
My stringy arms I wave and cheer
Yet I have just one small ear
My rounded mouth looks like a ball
My little left foot is so small
My right foot is yet rather big
My fingers are just like a twig
I’m wearing very spotty shorts
My shoes have crosses and noughts
My teeth though crooked always please
I have awesome knobbly knees
There’s many big...

Timing of the Season
Verse 1
With apparent separation, I was beheld and set apart
The formation of my journey, belonging to you from the start
With purpose I’m created, of solutions set to solve
Part of a bigger picture and with eloquence evolve
Chorus
So let your ways, become my ways
Through the days, trust the timing of the season
Yet your plans, are not mine to rearrange
Those blissful rays, trust the timing of the season
Verse 2
An ever sure foundation, with preparation and design
With a virtue of patience, not to rush ahead of...

Time
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/time
Of t-i-m-e, we knoweth not
That which could stand still
Transcends us all
An opportune moment, of which to befall
A flicker of hope, desireth more
To seize, to freeze, this window frame
Pictures in the sand, ‘sandline’ recede
Rainbow brilliance, swiftly hidden from view
Precious pearls, of days brought anew
Wonderment happenings, fastening through
Peering back with merriment glance
Lost in time, of but one chance

These are the Moments
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/these-are-the-moments-1
Of joy unabated, triumphantly won
Of a mountainous climb, boundless breath-taking
Of odds stacked against
Take to the skies, together we fly
Beat to my drum, we synchronize
Of harmonies, love stands entwined
At one in chorus, sheer distinction
Stellar smile, symbolic signs
Travelling loves unwinding road, of paths untold
In victory dance, bold chances took
Of gazes transfixed, a future eclipsed
Distinctive souls, becoming as one
Guided footsteps, of days...

The Voice of God
Verse 1
In times of jubilation, with merriment of cheer
With joyful moments passing, to whom I shall revere
Of all the shades of wonder, devoid of any doubt
With miracles of splendour, of times never without
Chorus
I will praise my God, I will praise his name
I will listen forth to his holy rain
I will sing for joy, I will lift my heart
I will hear the voice of God
I will hear the voice of God
Verse 2
When man looks at the outward, yet you embrace my heart
Of love that’s ever-growing, setting me apart
Of trials...

Victory
Verse 1
Graceful God my source and provider, there is no other like you
Lord of lords, for you are my helper, there are blessings with changes anew
Faith enduring love is forever, triumph in my victory praise
Sovereign shield for you are the answer, blessed are my days
Chorus
Testify, it’s time to break through
Strength behold, I shall not be moved
Lost no more, there’s nothing to prove
Unleashed and made new
I am yours forever your own
Guiding me I am not alone
King of high and this is your throne
Victory is breaking...

Shirley Bassey
https://soundcloud.com/user-921599710/shirley-bassey
Dare to dazzle, iconic diva
Behold an era, enrapture enthral
Silence devour, of vocal power
Renowned rendition – a rising star
Raise the bar, raise the roof
Glistening shimmer, strike a chord
Stage of a songstress, talent transformed
Driven determined, of diamonds worn
Splendour f-o-r-e-v-e-r, glamorous gift
Essence emerged, craft crystal clear
Sparkle supreme, showcase and shine
Sensational art form, eminence given
007, pre-eminence proven
Of charm interwoven ...

Freedom
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/freedom
Unhampered velocity, flow of continuity
Selected autonomy, explore your philosophy
Treaded geography, to grasp empathically
Of no ambiguity, to reason amicably
Of no accord, nonsensical
The freedom just to be
Desire ambitiously, of difference unusually
Give access academically, promotions periodically
Acts of kind sporadically, improvise remarkably
Caring sentimentally, peacefulness tranquillity
Of one accord intentional
The freedom to be me

All Hair
Celebrate versatility, of every ethnicity
Un-marginalise, break social exclusion, transcending illusions
A streaming subject that runs deep
Of chemical appliance, let go of the defiance
Un-tick the boxes, esteeming all, tear down the walls
A part of applauded appearances, let it go, let it be
Yield the root of the matter
Is it about good or bad? Or embracing what you have
With gratitude be glad
Set your own standards and expectations
The representational, be sensational
A headed glory, create your own story
To raise or lay...

Embrace
Strip away what no longer serves you
Make time for those who deserve you
Seek knowledge that prepares you
Do one thing that scares you
Choose the course that trains you
Take the chance that awaits you
Select the friends that uplift you
Trust the love that adores you
Travel the world, it’s an opportune time
The world is here to embrace you
