Pleading with the Lord

Pleading with the Lord

I’m Beaten and Bruised
Feel used up and abused
My minds so confused
Not giving up though, I refuse

Not hearin your words
Is this what I deserve
I’m weak and alone
Dear Jesus take me home

Waitin for a sign all the time
Something to tell me
Waitin for a sign all the time
God’s guidance to lead me

But it’s not always there
And I begin to fell life is unfair
Waitin for a sign all the time
Waitin for a sign all the time

I’m immobile, I’m still waitin
No action to take, must be something I’m missin
Dear Jesus lead me, I need your guidance
Hope’s my only lifeline, I’m still waitin

I will wait all my life
But understand this wait brings me pain
I need one of your signs
Just need some clarifying

Is this independence you give me
A sign of your trust and love
With your approval I’ll move forward
Trust my heart and trust me

Your Life

Your Life

Life ain’t an easy break
There are those that have opportunity to take
Then there are those that hit the wall
Everyday they take a fall

But God gives us what we need
and never more, so take heed
Discover what it is that sets you free
Gives your mind and heart a life of ease

The tricks that life’s never as it seems
One minute your on da right track
But wake up the next day to see
You’re on a different train than dat

People hurt people along the way in life
They just searchin for happiness in life
You’ve gotta observe your affect on others in life
And don’t let da people abuse or use you in life

Your life is you life
Be humble with your life
Follow your dreams
And set your sail free in life

Life ain’t an easy break
Older I get, harder it is to hear my spirit
What I think and feel is sometimes wrong
And I’m left with no certainty in nothin at all

Dear Lord

Tattoo Me Baby

New tattoo ideas
Across my upper back, irie pa bon
Direct translation – alright not good
What it stand for – blessed imperfection

On my left shoulder, a social work symbol, a St. Lucian flag, a peace corps symbol

On the top of my right foot, a mandala

Reggae Tunes Infiltrate My Soul

(written 1.14.09)

Jah!

Jah guide my heart, guide my mind
You always know what’s best for me
Jah guide my heart, guide my mind
I know you’re always there with me

Open up my eyes and let me see
Jah you have never forsaken me
Jah guide my life, be my light
Bring me back from uncertainty

Jah guide my heart, guide my mind
You always know what’s best for me
Jah guide my heart, guide my mind
I know you’re always there with me

I don’t always hear ya
I don’t always see
My minds not always clear, ya
But I want to be free

Bring me back Jah from all that’s unclean
I’ll rise up and follow your righteous lead, yeah

(Instrumental break)

Jah, I’m a mess when I ignore ya
And blessed when I explore ya
My heart is sometimes tore, ya
But its you Jah, I always wanna live for, ya

Jah guide my heart, guide my mind
You always know what’s best for me
Jah guide my heart, guide my mind
I know you’re always there with me

(one more verse needed here)

(chorus needed here)

A mess when I ignore ya
And blessed when I explore ya

A mess when I ignore ya
And blessed when I explore ya
