There is good in dying
Dying leads to living
The remission of sins
For our soul’s cleansing

But only the blameless
Life lived in holiness
Foretold by the prophets
Died, yet resurrected

Yes, Jesus gave his life
For you and me, despite
By His grace, we abide
Damnation, we defy

Our death is a sure thing
Our hope is only Him
In heaven we will sing
We put our trust in Him

As we remember now
Christ’s suffering and pain
Let’s lift our hands in praise
For His death, is our gain!

In life for ninety nine
Christ’s love personified

Years lived in happiness
Joy despite of sadness
You had peace deep inside

We cry and yet we smile
We mourn but look up high
We know you are with Christ

To God we give the praise
We thank Him for your days
Born, lived, and passed away

Just when I thought I did ok, a tear fell as soon as I completed this poem.

I did not cry, though teary-eyed
Little boy is growing, oh my
At school, right in his classroom
Wide-eyed, excited and anxious

What is next? is this too early?
Maybe I’m just older, silly!
It’s his time to face a new world
Head-strong, expectant and bold!

Congratulations Gabby!

I was cut and I bled green
For a moment that’s what it seems
I looked closely to be sure
‘Am glad to see, it is still red

… this is a very short poem that kinda describes what is happening with me for the past six months career-wise!

I started writing this poem/song while I was in the subway on the way home. In faith, I know that extra lines that I need will come. But for now, here’s what I have …

As water gushes under this broken bridge
I began to wonder how I’ll make it through
Then I hear you whisper into my ear
Put your faith in me my son, I’ll walk with you

… more lines here … (i guess no extra lines for now)

17 Nov 2002

Four holes and a stab
  That’s what it took to save the world
A nail in each palms
  One joined both feet and a spear on the side
Hanged on the tree, died on the cross
  Rose again, then we’re free
Sins are forgiven, with God reconciled
  Jesus gave his own that we may have life.

01 Sep 2002

What makes me differ, I guess nothing
  Well that’s a shame, that shouldn’t be
I have Christ in me, don’t you see?
  What I say and preach, do I not live?

My God, my God! My hypocracy!
nbsp; My Lord, my Savior! Is all they feel
Why such things had befallen on me?
  Help me, O Jesus, in my life be real!

What makes me differ, I lived again!
  A new creation, clean and pure for Him
Now can you see Him through me?
  I pray you do, I pray you really do.

01 Aug 2002

For it’s by faith that I’m alive and well
  For it’s by faith that I will live again
For it’s by faith that I eat my daily bread
  And it’s by faith that I have a place in heaven

For it’s by grace that You sent Your only son
  For it’s by grace that I’ve been reconciled
For it’s by grace that I can come in His name
  And it’s by grace that I have a place in heaven

For it’s Your will that I can see the light
  For it’s Your will that in my life You shine
For it’s Your will that I be like Your Son
  And it’s Your will that I have a place in heaven

01 Apr 2002

I dug deeper into my heart
  And I know that you’re the one
I looked inside and there I found
  A love so true for you my love

I searched the world, there’s none
  Someone like you just wouldn’t do
You’re all I need to fill my life
  That, you did, you made me whole

Forgive me, my love, my dear
  I sometimes dwell in land of dreams
I’m sorry for the troubles I bring
  May you accept my apology

20 Mar 2001

For You oh Lord had forgiven
  Your graciousness is evident
Strange as it may seem to men
  Your kindness is never hidden

You created us, yet we doubt
  You have provided, still we’re proud
We have sinned, and You sent Your Son
  Planned salvation for everyone

Help us Lord, like You always did
  Cleanse our heart, take away our guilt
God through Your Son, Christ Jesus
  Make us holy, be with us we pray
