Our Prayer ~ Naadir Vorajee

Let me know the Knowledge of Your world
Let me fly with wings
Show me my own destiny untwirled
Forgive my wrongful things...

Make me see the beauty in each day
make not my wings to fall
Give the beauty of life in this way
let my faith be tall.

Show me miracles in each grain of sand
Help me to be wise
Give me the privilege of Your hand
let security be Your eyes...

Let the strength of Your love fall upon us
Let it light our darkest ways
Let us take Your challenges without a fuss
until the end of days

Let this be our prayer for life,
Help us read your text
Show us the way in this material life
so that we may live in the next...

Dillin Clarke ~ Thank You, God

For sending me such a wonderful
person to my lonely way
A person that tells me ' I LOVE YOU '
everyday
Such a truthful person that could
never betray!
Will it be enough to thank you God
For this gift everyday whenever I
pray?

Thank you God
For sending me the sweetest girl
That makes me always feel so happy..
always feel so high
That tells me so many love words
that can make me fly
A person that I really trust
And know will never let me down or
say goodbye!

Thank you God.. It is never enough to
thank you
till forever.. to thank you till I die

Thank you God
For sending me this treasure
It is not silver.. It is not gold
It is not the way I get things
measured
It is just being with the person I love
this is my endless pleasure

Thank you God
For sending me my perfect match
that came to open my heart
And break it's ancient locked latch

Thank you God
For sending me someone so very real
Someone that treats me so right
that knows how to deal
I've always dreamed of someone
caring

For my deep wounds to tenderly heal
How could I thank you God? !
How could I prove that I'm so very
grateful?

For giving me such a lovely person
that made all my life so beautiful
That lovely person that I appreciate
Is YOU.. my love

Thank you for being there
Thank you God for making her there
I know ' Thank You ' is just two small
words to say

That doesn't seam to be enough
But it holds so many meanings
so many hidden feelings

I love you
I really do

Nsiki Gwala ~ Dear Heavenly Father

Lord you are my Alpha and Omega.
You feed me, the homeless beggar.
Lord you’re the future and the past,
You’re the first and the last.

The creator of heaven and earth
In you there’s renewal and rebirth.
In you Lord there’s unconditional and eternal love,
Which you have given me from the heavens above.

Lord you’re the author of my life,
Who’ll take away pain, hardship and strife.
You’re my creator - my Messiah,
Who created David, Abraham and Isaiah.

Lord you’ve always been and will always be there,
Through my sorrows, my doubts and despair
And will be there till the end of days -
Lord, surely you’re worthy to be praised.

Lord you’re the father and the protector,
Who doesn’t condone the destroyer and defector.
A God who loves the world so
To let his one and only son go

That those who believe, be freed from pain
And in heaven be born again.
Lord with you I will perish never,
For I will live in your house forever.
Amen.

Amina Moola ~ Save Our Planet

God gave us a beautiful planet called Earth
But we keep filling it with dirt.
We eat a sweet
And throw the paper on the street.
We chop down trees to make a fire
And the harmful smoke rises higher and higher.
We just don’t care about the trees
Or a fresh clean blowing breeze.
So, my dear friends, pick up a paper or plant a tree,
Save a little bird or a bee.
We need to start loving our earth,
We need to realise what it’s worth.
We can all do something,
In some little way,
To save our planet from destruction today.

Latifah ~ Prayer

How can I love when I'm afraid to break my heart
How can I be together when I'm afraid to fall apart
How can I ask when I'm afraid to know
How can I hold on when I'm afraid to let go

How can I smile when I'm afraid to cry
How can I live when I'm afraid to die

How can I prosper when I'm afraid to achieve
How can I have faith when I'm afraid to believe

How can I believe in God
When I'm afraid to take Jesus as my Lord

Oh God you know how I feel
I bow my head as I kneel
To pray
With nothing more to say

I'm only living for a while
How can I be in such a denial
Please show me the way
To you Lord I pray

Latifah ~ Rather Choose to Die

Have you ever asked the question why?
Have you ever felt the need to cry
Facing life's fears
Leave the world in tears

As the days gone by
I rather choose to die
No matter how hard I try
The world just leaves me to cry

How can I live my life so sad
That won't happen in death
I will be happy forever
Crying I won't do that never

Please Jesus my Lord
So help me God
Let me go away
This is no place to stay

If I knew life would be so hard
I never wanted to be here from the start
God I heard you can save
So please put me to my grave

Forgive me for my loved one's pain
This is not what they hoped for in vain
Every child's life is a Godsend
And I just want mine to end

Everything comes with a price
But to live is no more nice
So I ask you please ...
Just let me rest in peace
