THE SONG IS ALIVE

THE SONG IS ALIVE


The song is alive
The song of peace and power
Now resounds,now hearts revive
For upon us His blessings shower.
 

The song is alive
The song of hope and healing
In His name we will thrive
For upon us His love is flowing.
 

 The song is alive
The song of love and light:
Jesus Christ-the Way,Truth and Life
Fills us each day with His marvelous might!

He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the LORD and put their trust in him.Psalm 40:3(NIV)

MY HEART IS SET ON YOU

My heart is set on You

Your glory I long to see

No other compares with You

More like You I pray to be.

 

My heart is set on You

Your love I long to know

Deeper, deeper in love with You

Let Your healing waters flow.

 

My heart is set on You

You're all I'll ever need

In Your presence let me stay

Come and this hungry soul feed.

 

My heart is set on You

My Savior, King and Lord

Even If the stormy wind blows

Let me know You are God.

OUR YOUTH,OUR FUTURE

Let love lead the way

With a promise steadfast and sure

It's the dawn of a new day

Our glimpse into a brighter future.

Let love pave the way

For our youths,our future

Let love lead the way

In their formative structure.

Let not our youths be despised

Though presently in masks;

These are our eagles in disguise

Discovering their talents is our task.

Let the eagles find their wings

Accessing their greatness where it lies;

To enrich others,their treasures they bring

Soaring with pleasure above the skies.

Let courage and confidence rise

As we invest in their lives

We must be willing to pay the price

To see them survive and thrive.

OUR WORLD,OUR ENVIRONMENT

Our environment is our entitlement
Nature’s gift to be guarded jealously
Let us seek for our world’s betterment
A better world for you and me.

Our world is our environment
Our duty is to take good care of it
With discipline, diligence, and contentment
Let us take care and keep it fit.

Nature’s gift to be judiciously harnessed
Our solar, wind and hydro energy
Great and untapped wealth we possess
These vast potentials we begin to see.

Health is wealth we say
So is an environment free from pollution
A conducive environment is needed every day
We can achieve this through determination.

Let us keep clean our environment
For good health is our priority
Dirtiness is a detriment
Cleanliness is good for you and me.

THE REWARDS OF DILIGENCE

Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.Proverbs 22:29(KJV)

~*~

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.Prov.4:23(KJV)

~*~

He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.Proverbs 10:4(KJV)  

~*~

 He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief,it shall come unto him.

Proverbs 11:27(KJV)

  ~*~

Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks,and look well to thy herds.

Proverbs 27:23(KJV)

                                                                              

   ~*~

A slothful man will not catch his prey,but the diligent man will get precious wealth. Proverbs 12:27(RSV)

~*~ 

The hand of the diligent will rule,while the slothful will be put to forced labour. Proverbs 12:24(RSV)

  ~*~

But without faith it is impossible to please him:for he that cometh to God must believe that he is,and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.Hebrews 11:7(KJV) 

Diligence comes from the Latin diligere, which means "to value highly, take delight in," but in English it has always meant careful and hard-working.The Advanced Learner's Dictionary defines diligence as careful and thorough work or effort.

If you're a diligent worker, you don't just bang away at your job; you earnestly try to do everything right. Although being lucky and talented doesn't hurt, it's the diligent person who eventually succeeds.

We can be sure of reaping the great rewards if we embrace diligence.Shalom!!!
