Walk through this world with me...

Walk through this world with me,
Don't ever let go.
Stay by my side each day,
Show me how to love you, more and more!

Walk through this world with me,
Be my God, my teacher, and more.
Inspire me to be a better person,
Help me to learn and grow.

Walk though this world with me,
Show me how to serve.
Bend my heart to be humble,
Teach me patience, kindness and love.

Walk though this world with me,
Till my end draws near.
Then, call me Father to you rest.
For I am your child, your child so dear.

Peace

A dream forever.
A secret wish.
A repeating thought.
A persistent issue.
A contrast of views.
A troubling topic.
A continuing saga.
A need for decision.
A time for discussion.
A surge of emotions.
A raise of voices.
An outburst of resentment.
A scene of drama.
A break of hearts.
A crash of dreams.
A loss of words.
An absence of thoughts.
A cry for peace.

Death, thou art such mystery

Death, thou art such mystery
Thou maketh every Man history.
Thou knocketh at my door
At an hour I do not know.
Thou sendeth me to a deep sleep
And leave my people to mourn and weep.
Thou cometh and bringeth everything to an end...
Art thou my enemy? Or art thou my friend?

The time is now...

You heard the call.

You had the dream.

You saw the vision.

You can feel it within you.

The time to ACT is NOW...

A test, is it?

Why do I feel how I feel about you? Why this anger and unrest within me?
Why am I on the verge of turning over, into a person I never thought I would be?

Why are you putting me to the test? What do you want me to do?
Please be aware that it's not doing me any good. Or does that not matter to you?

I feel so rotten deep within me. There's a horrible feeling surging from within.
It's a feeling that I've never ever felt before. Haah! Now you sure know each and everythin'.

I don't even know what I want to say to you. But I am deeply hurt, you should probably know.
And in case, you ever realize what I feel, then do something in your power to change the way of the flow!

And if you think, you are going to just stay and not pay heed to my plea...
Then, soon the sheep will have moved into the dense darkness, far far away from the shepherd's watch and keep!

The end has come

The end has come.
The story has ended.
The dream, shattered.
And the love…destroyed.

The end has come, o woman…
Did you see it coming?
Did you imagine what it could do?
Did you ever think it could happen to you?

But come, it has.
And look what it has left you with?
A wrecked life! A broken heart! A wounded soul!

O! How I want to laugh out loud looking at you and your plight now!
How I want to tell you how stupid you were to believe in love!
How I want to declare to the world, how the songs of glory you sang about love have now lost its melody!
How I want to show the world the tears that rest on your cheeks!
How I want to show the world how your heart, in pain, weeps!
How I want to show the world your pretence, while you hurt deep within!

And how I want you to know that... true love long ceased to exist!

It probably, never did!

Shane – God’s gracious gift

The call I heard, one fine day,
As the Lord, He spoke to me.
I didn’t know where I was heading, then,
But He showed me where I was meant to be.

He unveiled His plans, with a path to match,
As I let Him guide me along.
I asked Him for the gifts of judgment and wisdom,
To help me pick, right from the wrong.

He said to me, “Shane, you are my chosen one”,
“A shepherd, to all of my sheep.
Far from the evil ways and works of this world,
Safe, my people, you must keep.”

A prayer I make to the Lord above,
“Give me the strength, each day,
Be at my side, through darkness and light,
As I tread on my mission today.”

On this grand day, as I pledge my vows,
My commitment to the Lord to keep,
I’ll remember that I’m Shane - His gracious gift,
He’s my Master, and His people, my sheep!


This verse was composed for Fr. Shane Verghese, on the occassion of his Holy Ordination.
