Desperate People

You crossed the great divide,

You took our place,

You offered up Your life,

Though we had failed,

The veil was torn and love remained.

We've found our voice,

We've found our cause,

We're on our knees the carpet's worn,

As we join our hearts,

With distant shores,

And we sing to you Lord.

Slow down

Time stops in this fast-paced world,

slow down and listen

to the footsteps of people,

to the breaking of silence,

to your heartbeat.

Just slow down,

and enjoy the little things in life,

while it last.

Decisions

Decisions must be made,

so why don't you make?

And if it's not too late,

so why don't you go ahead?

Gone

People don't really care about how much you know,

until they know how much you care.

Poof! And everyone is gone.

Take me to the riot

Saturday nights in neon lights, Sunday in the cell

Pills enough to make me feel ill, cash enough to make me well

Take me, take me to the riot

Take me...

And let me stay...

But

Bad things do really happen to good people.

But...

You gotta pick yourself up and move on.

Unconditional

You carried the cross for us that was cumbersome
You looked into the eyes of the people
While enduring the whips and lashes.

Throughout Your journey
You heard harsh words echoing, "CRUCIFY HIM!"
You looked for Your friends, but they were all gone.
You heard three rooster crows
And Your heart began to sank
As someone dearest to You denied himself three times.

I can imagine that loneliness
I can imagine when all You've found is hatred
I can imagine that You had to endure all this for our sins
I can imagine six hours later, when You went through the worst.

As they nailed Your hands to the cross
And made You a spectacle
You cried out to the Father
"Forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."

Closing Your eyes You breathed once more
Your last and final breath
You did all these to save the ones
Who choreographed Your death

The hurt, the pain, the bitterness
That lingers deep inside
The lust, the lies, the suffering
And our selfish pride.
You took them all
Because of Your Unconditional love
You suffered a painful death
That we may have everlasting life.

At that moment,
Was...
John 3:16

2008

Well, we've reached 2008, ain't we?
Happy New Year then!
After that,
You pull your ear.

I'm looking forward to Euro 2008 and the Beijing Olympics.
Shan't really share my resolutions here, because of certain reasons.

The new offside rule is plain NUTS!
Fifa has to realise that the best way to deal with offside is to keep it simple.

Till then, enjoy your 2008 everyone!
