| A PRAYER OF HOPE Dear Father, I pray to you, for help and guidance. That I may find strength within, To face my fears and live. Stay with me and guide me, Do not abandon me, I long for your presence beside me. Take my suffering and pain, I give it to you, Use it to help your people. I know I am a sinner Forgive me father. I have learnt a valuable lesson Never to me forgotten. Look after my family, my friends. I pray to you that they may live, In happiness and health all their life. Help them find the strength to accept my illness, Comfort and soothe them, And wipe away their tears. Father, All I want is to learn to live, To be able to cope, So I pray to you, my strength and my hope. You give me hope of a better future, You bring me relief from my pain. Thank you for listening to my prayers, AMEN. by Claire CH |
| UNTITLED I look up at the sky, To the most high. Somewhere up there He’s looking down, Watching us. Just watching While we ruin And destroy Our lives. But, if we reach out, To him up there He will give us The courage we need To be free. To live In the hope And joy Of our future As he intended It to be. by Claire CH |
| My Journey The land is vast and wide, Mountains block my path. Deserts, oceans and forests All encountered during my trek. The journey is tough and demanding, Long though educating. The end is near, I just have to carry on. There are times when I lose hope And think I won’t survive. But God gives me the strength To carry on. I watch the sunrise Light up the sky And know that God is near, Following me all the way. The day is just beginning Signalling a new start. You are always Close by me Helping me carry on. Through every day, Every journey You are there With God following me always. by Claire CH |
| Mystery Of Life Why were we created? Why do we die? How did the world come about? These are the world’s mysteries. The bible says, God is the creator. He is Lord, ruler of all. But it doesn’t answer our questions. Have you ever thought about life? Never wondered why you exist? If you have you’ll realise it’s frustrating, When you find no answers. Life’s just a big mystery, Waiting to be solved. We must be patient detectives, In solving the Mystery of Life. by Claire CH |
| Faith I feel so confused, Don’t know what to do, Don’t know what to say. What do I really want? Can I make it work? I don’t know. All I want is To be free Of depression and loneliness, To live life once more. I’ve lost the energy to battle on For what I want to see. I’ve no strength, no courage, no hope. But I do have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. If I believe in my own abilities I can see it through. Must keep trying, Must keep going. Fearfully and tearfully I walk along the path To a life I don’t know. My Lord shall guide me, From all that is evil. I must keep going I must have strength, Courage, Hope, FAITH! |
