Break me

I wrote this song when i was 16.

Wasted Thoughts 
instead of thinking of You
I have turned aside

The sweet calling of the Holy one
seems to fade
in my life

but then Your Touch consumed me
Your love reaffirmed me.

You hold me, You mold me,
You led me to Your Throne.
You break me, You shake me,
You stripped me white as snow
Now I fall down and bow and cry
with all my soul
I wanna be like You.

All the while 
I was pursuing something else
It led me nowhere

Now i am down
on my knees
asking You to show the way

but then Your Touch consumed me
Your love reaffirmed me.

Glorify Your Name

I wrote this song when i was 19. And its all about living our purpose- GLORIFYING GOD and telling people to do the same. For this is the whole duty of a man.

Glorify Your NAME

I Have Been living my life,
Trying to make it worthwhile.
I've done so many things,
but nothing compares,
(no no no)
Nothing Compares

To see You Glory and Your wonders,
Giving You our lives as pleasing sacrifices,
Telling people of different places
to do the same
Glorify Your NAME

I have been once in the darkness,
But now I'm set free by Your Precious blood,
Now I'm made into Your Likeness,
Nothing compares,
no no no
Nothing Compares

No match

In the brightness of the light You’ve showed me,
Burdens of sorrow and shame that surround me.
Too much, too much, I cried in anguish.
Too much, too much, I sighed in grief.



Tears unending, overflowing
Cries for help in pain prevailing,
Too much, too much, I wailed complaining
Too much, too much, I run escaping.



Amidst incompetence and lack of confidence,
Amidst uncertainty and denial of reality,
Too much, too much, I breathed in last,
No match, No match, You’ve broken silence fast!



When it seems to be impossible, 
You prove me that You are able.
When it seems to be so terrible , 
You prove me that You make it stable .




No Match, No Match, I begin to insult*,
No match, No Match, I begin to exalt.



insult- Taunt eg. Death where is your sting; 
in this case, problems where are you now?

Your heart

A cloud of fear begun to creep,
in my innermost being so deep.

And as i begin to weep,
And escape through Sleep,


He Then answered me,
come here my little sheep,
your Heart is mine to KEEP.

Wait

As i started the day with a prayer, 
reflecting on the events that happened to me this week,
i suddenly felt a mist of melancholic draft 
that lingered through my marrow, 
a sensation similar to a thick liquid 
such as an antibiotic passing through my vein,
or as an ice left out in the sun, 
patiently waiting for it to melt 
and eventually become vapor in the air.

why this feeling? un-confessed sin?
why this feeling? separation from the One 
who bled for My Forgiveness?

why this feeling? Why this feeling?

as i struggle to discern and evaluate,
 He told me don't exaggerate.
as i begin to weep and exasperate, 
He told me don't be so desperate.

there is something in my heart that screams, 
something that yearns, something that longs.
there is something in my deepest being that screams, 
something that grows, something that flows.

Wait! The Lord my God exclaimed!
Wait and you will see, wait and you will be.
wait and let it grow in Me,
wait and Let it flow in Me.

Wait, wait , wait.

And she will see,
wait and she will be.

wait for Me, yet I am here,
wait for Me, for I am He.

and so i listen with open ears
through You i face hundreds of my fears,
Through You i Wait even for ten thousands of years.
