Preach Through My Lyrics

  Send help I can’t keep up I am trying to. But every passing day feels Like I’m fighting a losing battle Everything is burdensome- even breathing. They say do more of the things that make you feel alive (or is it happy?) But what happens when Even those things mean nothing at all?

What am I supposed to do then?   Photo by nikko macaspac on Unsplash Send help I can’t keep up People are supposed to Know how to balance activities… responsibilities But all I can do at best is one thing a day And most days the best I can do is try and keep breathing. They say count every little thing a success- even breathing But what happens when What’s expected of me is more than to just stay alive? What happens when staying alive actually means Living up to a whole lot of expectations And yet I have no strength or will to do anything? What am I supposed to do then?   Send...

Sing me a song Remind me who I am Remind me whose I am When I'm blinded by the chaos And I'm just going through the motions of life When my smile is fake and I can

I asked to sing... And trust me, my brain meant just that- to sing And the child in me could only imagine the beauty of the art So the One who makes the birds sing Looked at me, smiled and said, "Bring"

I want to win wars. No, not the kind you're thinking about The kind that happen deep within The ones against my very self When I'd rather hold a grudge Yet I know I'm called to forgive

There was this one time I was heading to my place and I boarded a bus at around 6:30 pm. Well, I was not expecting to get to my place by 7 or 7:30 since it was a weekday and wow the jam in Nairobi in such days can be crazy. Given that the bus I had boarded was the one we call, 'za watu wazee', meaning for the elderly

We all have role models and some of us have mentors. We have people that we admire in our lives and others that do not even know us but we aspire to get to where they are... Maybe socially, spiritually or career wise. Dear, Uncle Chris, Uncle Keith, Uncle Ricky, Before the Lord get me I gotta say something quickly I grew up empty since my daddy wasn't with me shoot, I wasn't picky I'd take any male figure You

Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for His friends. John 3:13. There is no fear in Love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But He who fears has not been made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18  floweraura.com BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME All the things I have said I'll do- The ones I have done And those I haven't done. All the things I've said I will never do- The ones I have actually never done  And those I keep doing and regretting All these things do not define me .. Because You love me Because You love me You do not keep account of my sin You do not grow weary of taking me back You do not leave me alone even once You do not cease to supply my every need You do not give up on me Because You love me I  can come boldly to Your throne of Grace I can cry and sit still and be held I can make it through any storm I can soar on wings like eagles I can laugh and danc...

negromanosphere.com What births my ambitions? What brings forth the picture of my future? What motivates my plans? What is the anchor of my life's ship? Is it my past... Those facts that are really not facts but are tucked into my brain because... He said... She said... They said... And now it defines my being

Have you ever done or said something then looked back and wondered if that was really you or someone else? Are there times when you have thought of yourself as a very ‘good’ person then somehow something happens and you realize you are probably not that ‘good’ after all? counsellingacf.com When such things happen I am reminded that apart from Christ there is really no good in me. Our righteousness is as filthy rags to Him because it is Him who works in us to will and to do that which pleases Him. Anything that we do without Him is like building on straws.

Body folded to fit in a sofa Trying to squeeze out the pain Not sure of how it got this far And not sure of how much more there is to bare The remedies have been heard of Ways to heal a broken heart one recalls Burry yourself in work or drink yourself out in a bar

I am not ashamed to need God each and every moment of my life. To know that He is with me is my greatest relief and my desire is to see Him in every little detail of my days. At the light of dawn I feel your warmth Like the morning sun you are my morning star The beauty of its rays reminds me of your Grace And Love that you freely gave True as in your word your mercies are new every morning I have a hope I live for for You you woke me up this morning To another great experience of your amazing glory All through the morning I walk in awe of You The noon sun has now its position high up on the dome Telling me of how You are still watching my every move Instructing my every step, Calculating my every breathe and preparing my every next The wind's blow tells me of Your Spirit that circulates my plans And even though the clouds are gathering for an evening shower You already bestowed upon me the power To dance in the rain and surf on the waves of the ...

I know this is a season everyone is talking about love gone wrong or right and this reminds me of one of my most favorite pieces I ever put together. I dedicate it to all my friends out there... So they asked Him If a woman who remarries several times dies Who among the husbands would be hers in Heaven And He told them none Oh yes none of them will claim to own her for she will be complete He who created her and knit her together in her mother’s womb will complete her He who called her beautiful will fulfill her He who authored and completed her faith will be her all in all The picture of this glory leaves me in owe A love that is limitless A love that knows no beginning or end We know when we started loving him, our lovers Some say love at first sight Others say it grew through the passing time But His is not tied to time It is not tied to a romantic description of her walking by and striking his emoti...

Everybody's got a blank page A story they are writing today A wall that they are climbing You can carry the past on your shoulders Or you can start over Regrets... No matter what you go through Jesus... He gave it all to save you He carried the cross on His shoulders So you can start over...

No more shall I look to the skies For my Father's loving aid Since here upon earth His treasure lies And here is His kingdom laid

Lord Your faithfulness keeps pulling me  down to reality-  You're never letting go of me.
