On The Other Side

On the other side of the storm
Lies a beautiful rainbow
Created by sun after the rain goes
On the other side of the clouds
Is the prettiest sunshine
That beams in warmth and beauty
On the other side of the storm
Is something so wonderful
You’d never would have imagined

When you’re going through the storm
God’s working in disguise
He knows your very need
And he’s listening to your cries
When it’s raining, then it starts to thunder
And burdens get so heavy
Does God care? You wonder

But keep on going through the storm
He’s working His plan
He knows what’s best and He has your hand
Then in the sunshine you’ll see
Something good came out of something bad
Oh how God works so mysteriously.


Saying It Kind

If at you is hurled rudeness 
Or, you’ve been on edge for some time 
Or, to someone you need to constructively criticize 
In human nature, you’d like to say first thing comes to mind 
Without having considered the effects bad words will leave behind 
Before saying them, think if the words are kind

If the words will be brash and bold
It’s not a response, but a scold
The wrong words can cause a relationship to fold
And the rift may grow old
So, before speaking, take a little time 
To think about saying it kind
And the regret for hurting one won’t be on your mind

Saying it kind, doesn’t make you a weakling
Or someone who can’t deal with controversial sayings
It just makes you trying to be a peaceful being
And for that a calm voice is more achieving 
James 3:5-6 talks about the tongue being unruly
So, control it by saying it kind; it’s our duty.

Lonely Nights

At a point in life towards you there’s directed a smile 
Your response is I don’t have time
So to reciprocate, you decline
Then make excuse after excuse 
Not to become connected in life
Little did you know that this will lead to
Lonely nights 

Mistakes realized after years go by
Wonder where went the time 
Oceans shrinked to seas
Then to lakes then to streams
Fish swim there scarcely
If only the future you could have seen
Opportunities wouldn’t went unseized
Now the nights are lonely 

Things ain’t the same 
So outta reach, so others you teach
Seize the opportunity 
To make relationship everlasting 
A better one you may not see
In your lifetime
And that will lead to lonely nights 

Follow advice starting in Ecclesiastes 4:9 (4:9-12)
Pursue special love in life
Put effort in working on what’s not right 
Give it a fight
To give up and walk away 
Will lead to lonely nights.
