Passing cloud blocking my sunshine

This is but a passing cloud,
You slowly move to block my sunshine,
I feel you blocking my sunshine,
I see you blocking it,
You think you've won?
You forget-you are but a cloud,
The earth is on a journey,
To move is its curse,
I will most certainly move,
You won't be long,
I will be kind to say goodbye,
I will watch you pass,
I will see the sun again,
My sunshine kissing my skin again,
You are but a passing cloud blocking my sunshine.

*Nothing is forever.Whatever bad or good that comes into your life,remember,This too shall pass.Only God is there forever.*

The gifts my days bring

One day at a time they sang,
I agree, one day at a time,
Live the moments, live each day on its own,
Love each day on its own,
No day dawns as the other,
Though the sun be one, though the moon shine the night,
None is like the other,
Each day with its own troubles,
I will live this day, I will conquer this day.

One day, two days, three days...
On and on they pass,
I will not fret, they draw me closer,
Closer to my end, farther from my start,
My end is near, my past is farther,
Destiny calls, days draw me near,
Nearer, closer I get to my destiny, my end,
My past is far, my destiny is close,
One day at a time, one day at a time.

The day and its troubles shall come,
I will live on, my end is not today,
Tomorrow is another day,
Closer I get, farther I go,
I am strong, I believe so, I know so,
No day will outweigh me, I will conquer the day.
Closer I get, farther I go,
The troubles teach me, I learn,
My heart will learn, I will not run,
I fall today, I rise tomorrow,
Closer I move, my destiny beckons,
Today is not enough, I long for tomorrow,

My days bring me lessons,
They bring me trouble and joy,
Am overwhelmed but I live on, one day at a time,
There is grace for each day, strength for each day,
Though it runs out at times,
The will to see another day will carry me to tomorrow,
I end not today, tomorrow awaits me, I cannot fail,
The author of the days has written my tomorrow,
I have my part to play tomorrow,
I do not end today.

Today I live, tomorrow is another day,
The gift my days bring,
I live on, I do not end today,
The days are good, the days are evil,
Still I live on, I do not end today.

This life we've known

How today rises is not as tomorrow will,
Though sun shines for all,
It’s not the same for all.

This life,
I will sing a song,
My heart is intrigued,
A song will do.

What cry goes unanswered?
What course is without a purpose?
In this life,this world we've known.

Vanity!! the wise man said,
All is vanity, a chase after the wind,
What then is life?

What is man that life has found him?
That he’s seen the good and evil of the day,
While day’s trouble will come,
He finds pleasure still, in his troubled days.

While no one knows the day to come,
All awake to meet it anyway,
Though it may hit hard,
We rise again and prepare for the next.
 
This life we've known,
This world we know,
The good exist and so does the bad,
None is flawless,
None is complete,
This world we know,
This life we've known.

My dear desolate land

A cup of hot chocolate,
Two sugars and the latest copy of the dailies,
Am all set for this.
A few pages down, I love my hot chocolate,
Sip sip my cup is halfway down,
I flip over and there’s this story, “Old and still in love”,
My mind wonders away,
To a land now so desolate,
Once lovely and lively,
Now lies bare earth and shrubs,
This land remains untilled for some time now,
Though my land, I wish not till it,
I once did but bore no fruit,
I will not, I wish not to till it,
I have since found other grounds to till,
I leave this bare,
It brings me turmoil
Once dear, now bare
It has rejected my efforts to make it bring fruit,
I rest my case, I will toil not anymore,
My doleful heart finds pleasure in a new land,
They’ve tilled their land till old age,
Mine young fertile land lies bare,
I find no strength to till it,
Grace be upon me,
Let I find fruit in my new land.

Set the heart on things above

             ***My Joy is in the Lord above***

There is not a greater advantage a mortal man on earth can have than when they have a backing of an immortal power. Say, having the author of destinies lead your path to destiny. It’s like having your parent set the national exam which you are to sit for. It couldn’t get any better right?
 
Now,the bible urges us to set our eyes/hope on things above; hope in things unseen; to have heaven as our bank and not here where treasures are prone to moths and other destroyers. Setting our hearts on things above...

Colossians 3:1-2 -Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
 
Someone once told me, the difference between joy and happiness,-other than the spelling-is that, happiness is dependent on things that can be seen and touched. Joy on the other hand however, is depended and based on things unseen.
 
The Lord in His word most often talks of joy. This is what He gives us when our happiness is shaken. When that which brought happiness to our hearts is taken away and that happiness is gone, a heart without gladness is left. The Lord thus gives joy which in turn strengthens up the heart to live again.”The joy of the Lord is my strength”.
 
A few days ago, something happened in my life. Something that erased quite a piece of happiness from me for some days. I would have gone to extremes of depression and making crazy and hasty decisions BUT I thank God for His joy that quickly found rest in my heart and empowered it to find peace and live on.(This is the advantage of having God as your father you see.He's always near to comfort and empower His own). 

As I write this, I can confidently proclaim that the joy of the Lord is my strength. It is the reason I wake up to face the day after the incident.
 
When all that brings you happiness is gone, only the joy from the Lord can comfort such a heart. Like the peace of God that surpasses all understanding, the joy of the Lord goes beyond any description.
 
Whereas we find happiness in what we have, let us above all tap joy from heaven. Take delight in the Lord, for only He remains when all else is gone. Let the joy of the Lord excite your heart more than happiness does-it is a joy everlasting that we have in the Lord.

The River’s flow tune

You put the waters in motion,
You set its path and it be,
Where it flows God You know,
Its course and destination Creator You know best.

You set the flow un-seizing,
Coiling its way round obstacles,
On a journey to bring refreshment to where it flows,
The sound of mighty waters flow depicts Your greatness,

HOW GREAT IS MY GOD!
 
You sustain life under the waters,
You cause it to bring life wherever it flows,
The fierce and calm spots creator You cause,
How, where and why it breaks God you know.

You set the rocks on its path yet you cause it to flow past them,
You’ve taught it how,
It’s You who feeds the rivers, quenches the earth of its thirst,
Give life to the waters to deliver life to you creation.

HOW GREAT IS MY GOD!
 
The song of mighty waters Father you understand,
You command the seas with your word,
You speaketh calm over the deluge,
The mighty waves dance to honor You.
