HUNGER
UNDER OUR OWN EYES His big brown eyes, just look around Watching closely You know he is on the scrounge His lunch box looks pathetic He would have no hope Of becoming an athletic He looks so thin You would think something Is seriously wrong with him Suddenly he moves towards the bin He scrounges through the papers As he takes a good look in He picks up a half eaten roll Eats it as if he’s lost control Frantically searching for more to eat This was making my tummy so weak The next thing I see, is him picking up butts To my horror, this was disgusting muck He was only young, where did he come from? And where was his mum it makes you wonder The kind of stronghold that he was under What kind of home does he come from Why is he alone, no where to go Is he homeless and always on the roam Some one has to care Life for them is not so fair We need to take action And get some satisfaction © Natalie Price May 2009 |
DON’T DWELL IN THE PAST Break the burdens off your life Move on, let go of all the strife Plant a seed of happiness in your heart It’s like having a brand new start Worrying can cause severe stress Start looking to the Lord and be blessed It’s amazing the peace you feel Contentment for your life is God’s will Dwelling on the past and all the hurt Is very destructive and hinders God’s work Praise has power, criticism makes you sour Years of abuse can cause mental anguish It’s like being in prison and keeps you in languish You can have control over the way you think Be positive and you’re less likely to sink Live for each day as if it was your last Never hold grudges, leave it in the past Apologise if it needs to be said Don’t wait until they’re dead You will find if you start to pray And communicate with God You’re well on your way Of receiving God’s peace A joy that’s unspeakable This kind will never cease © Natalie Price May 2009 |

LETS
PASS THE TEST AND TAKE HOLD OF THE BEST Life and all its blessings Impart his word, by our confessing Speak out and share his great love His glorious peace and joy This is for us all to enjoy I am not ashamed Believe me, you’ll never be the same In all my trials of testing I never failed to honour my God Occasionally we need a prod And be reminded of God’s great love I’ve been right at the bottom of the pit Thought I had no hope, and I was licked God gives us every opportunity It’s a good thing to stay in unity The bible brings us Comfort and hope in what is to come We have this promise through the Son When we fill our hearts with his word A supernatural experience has occurred It transforms our very being This is reality that I’m now seeing A seed has been planted Deep into my heart Like a new born baby It becomes an embedded part The Holy Spirit teaches and nourishes The beauty in you flourishes His word gives us living water Think about that As He was led to the slaughter Without Jesus there is no hope We are not heading On a downward slope One day we will go home To the very best We have choices to make Lets past the test © Natalie Price May 2009 |
YOU DO HAVE A FRIEND It’s a long lonely road And the path can get rough You’ve run out of places to go As the going gets tough No home, no money and no job People look down on you And think you’re a slob When in actual fact You have been robbed Your home, you had to leave For your wife She found another man Told you to get another life All of a sudden You’ve lost your job And your heart just throbs The anguish you’re in Is not caused through your sin No money, with every thing gone Suddenly you have no place to belong Sorrow like this is hard to bare You’ve been dealt a bad blow And it’s certainly not fair But there are people who do care So that you’re aware That you do have a friend Turn to him, he will be with you To the very end © Natalie Price May 2009 |
| YOU’VE FAILED YOUR CHILDREN Your temper is out of control Look at your children Constantly crying So hard to console Stop shouting at the kids It’s not the right way to go Their legs have large welts As if you’ve hit them with a belt The children are calling For you to stop And your language is appalling Some one should call the cops What gives you the right To treat your children this way You may have given birth But you need to be put away Afflicting your children With physical abuse Has long term side affects And there is no excuse Control is what you need to learn And respect is something You’ll have to earn Discipline is needed But you have exceeded The limitations And this is a serious violation And it’s not acceptable It’s down right objectionable These sorts of actions are illegal And you can finish up in jail But worse still Your children, you’ve failed © Natalie Price May 2009 |
SILENCE IS MY REJECTION I feel so left out of things Mum and Dad close the door We don’t talk as a family Or do things together anymore Meal times are the same We sit in silence Except when They call my name They’re always to busy To give me any time And reject my hugs Which I think is so unkind There is no affection in our house If they do speak, it’s only to rouse I feel deeply hurt inside And I often go to my room Hide my feelings and cry I don’t think they care any longer My heart is wounded I need to get stronger I’ve built a wall around myself As they only care about their wealth In my despair I started to pray The Lord has given me comfort He looks at me in a different way © Natalie Price May 2009 |
| WE CAN BE ACHIEVERS Suffering is part of life Sometimes it can hurt so deep It’s like being cut with a knife We think at times How shall we cope When you feel you’ve tried Everything and you have Come to the end of your rope Giving up is the easy way out Sometimes it challenges us Without a doubt But we wake up in the morning Why go on mourning It hurts you and others around They feel they’re on tender hooks And can’t make a sound Healing comes when you let go Give it to God and it may be slow But your outlook must be positive Not of a low opinion, being derogative You can choose to be negative But where will that get you That’s not very competitive Fight back, be determine to win You will overcome within It maybe a love one that you’ve lost How do you think God felt When his Son suffered on the cross We all go through sad stuff The going can get fairly rough We are achievers Because we are believers There is an answer to all distress Turn to Jesus and he will do the rest © Natalie Price May 2009 |
HIS POWER OF ANOINTING God wants to take us out of Our kingdom of darkness Renew our strength And take away the vileness He wants to take us To a new place And to let us know About his grace Moving us away From our desperation And giving us a new life Of salvation This will transform us Wherever we are His light in us Will look like a brilliant star He wants to fill us with His power and anointing Our decision to change Will not be disappointing We will be changed from The inside out and be released From the evilness of the beast God can raise us up From the gutter And it doesn’t matter Who you’ve been The sin is buried in our past And we’ve been made clean Our decision to change is up to us It will be the best thing to do Is to give God our trust His plans and purpose For our life Are now on a new path Helping us through The wrath and the strife Being equipped With his victory sword Praise God we have the Lord We then become history makers And can cover a lot of acres Spreading our Wonderful testimony And fulfilling Our dreams and destiny © Natalie Price May 2009 |
| COWARDLY ACTS This is a direct poem To what I call scum of the earth An evil seed planted at birth How vile to prey on innocent victims Who have never done any harm to you I sure wish it was your feet in the same shoes Because they’re of a different nationality Or they don’t have the right colour skin They shouldn’t be persecuted by your ugly sin Just because they’re of a different faith They do have a right to feel safe So what if they think and feel different We all have to make our own choices They have a right to raise their voices You think you have the right to cause Such horrendous wounds to their bodies You’re nothing but an evil nobody Whatever your reasons They're not good enough And you’ve got no right to get rough Even animals have more heart than you scum Hopefully one day you will be on the run One day you will get your true justice And no mercy will be for you For the agony you Put your victims through Anger swells up inside me You should not be free When I think of the pain and suffering You miserable vile demonic demons do One day you will go through it too Torture is the only way You demons understand And you’re a coward not a man You hunt like packs of wolves Believe me you're the biggest fools I hope every night You lay your miserable head down Just remember you’re not safe in any town I hope you’re haunted by your own actions Then it will give Your victims some satisfaction Every nationality can be cruel You don’t have to join them And think you have the right to rule One day you will face your evil ruler Believe me the devil is so much crueler © Natalie Price May 2009 |
FORCING INTIMACY I’ve met this cool guy But I am rather shy He tells me that he Really likes me And I’ve only known Him a few days But now he wants Things to go further And he doesn’t Listen to what I say I’m not really ready For this kind Of commitment And I don’t want To get myself in Any kind Of predicament He says I must not like him If I don’t say yes Now I’m under So much stress I don’t want To lose him But I know I will If I refuse him Inside me I know This is not right If I give in to him I’m not very bright It’s hard when you Like someone so much But I don’t want to give in To him and be touched If this guy really liked me He would understand So I refuse to fall For his persistent demands And would be far better off One day waiting for the My special right man © Natalie Price May 2009 |
| BE ENCOURAGED Seek first the things of The kingdom of God Don’t allow yourself To be robbed The Lord has done A good work in you Be strong and of Good courage And you Will come through The devil Is always ready To place Doubts in our mind Rise up and be strong And you will find The devil will flee And this you will see The road Is narrow and long But God is leading you To where you belong Be faithful His peace will come You have that promise Through the Son © Natalie Price May 2009 |
DESPERATE SITUATION You hear nothing except Their cruel whispers The darkness in their eyes They’re so evil and very sly Deep inside you sense Their evil plans You’re not quite sure How they’ll attack Or their demands But you know You’re being watched Some of them are drunk Like they’ve been On the scotch Acting like idiots And ready to plot It’s late at night These guys are In for a fight I’ve got to get home As I’m all alone This is not A good situation I’m frightened Out of my wits In desperation Why didn’t I listen To some sound advice If I get out of this Next time I’ll think twice Please God help me Protect me I plead You’re my only hope And I’m in need © Natalie Price May 2009 |
| LOUSY ACT OF BETRAYAL Infidelity is an Act of betrayal The results Can be devastating And heartbreaking Children don’t understand They feel like they’ve Been dealt a rough hand Their tiny world has been Turned upside down All of a sudden their lives Have been turned around Your children see you In a different light And you’ve lost Their respect as They listen To your fights No longer Is there trust And they find It hard to adjust Our own actions Can hurt others deeply And you’re looked at Very cheaply I’ve heard people say Oh they’ll get over it That is a lousy attitude You have to admit We should think Before we actually do Because our actions Affect them too © Natalie Price May 2009 |
LET’S TAKE THE NEXT STEP Our Lord paid our dept Little by little Let’s take the next step To this day We could never repay Jesus For sacrificing his life On the cross He did this to give us hope Otherwise we would Have been lost How can we be ashamed To give glory to his name Not many would give Their life for you But he did this Because he loves you too I hear people say I’m okay I don’t need him They fall Deeper and deeper Into their sin Some think it’s a fairytale And refuse to believe The devil is so happy Because they’re Being deceived Our life span is not long Please remember You could be wrong God says we were Made in his image And he is the author Of my life until It’s finished The evolution theory Has no purpose or plan It doesn’t give me hope When Jesus can It amazes me That man has to Look for an Alternative answer Rather than believe Praise God That I’m not that naïve © Natalie Price May 2009 |
| NEGLECTING THE ELDERLY Old and feeling frail With no one to help them And they’re not very well Their families Don’t give them time They just hope that They’ll be fine Cooking meals Washing and cleaning Difficult tasks For them to do Now their life Is without meaning Their families Don’t seem to care what They’re going through Struggling daily Is very demeaning Sometimes they wish They were only dreaming We have learnt so much From the older generation And from them We are building Many nations Our elderly folk Have not become Useless junk They’re our treasures Not like you Uncaring punks One day you’ll be old If your attitude Does not change It may be you Left out in the cold © Natalie Price May 2009 |
SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO HELP
YOURSELF You can’t expect life to be positive If your thoughts are negative Complaining all the time And needing a sedative A lady I know is full of woe Locks herself away And when I visit her Her depression Makes me feel low She expects everyone To help her out of her mess I have a heart But I’m not impressed She refuses advice And her health is not nice She spends all her money And gets into debt All she wants Is her cigarettes She complains That she can’t sleep And her roof leaks Her hot water System is on the blink I just sit there and think We all have our own Burdens to bare And praise God That we can share But there are times When we have to sit back And say, hey this lady Is way off track I encourage her When I can But I refuse her Constant demands She would use me If she could I do pray to God To release her Out of her dark woods © Natalie Price May 2009 |
| STAY CALM IF YOU CAN If you stay calm you are wise And your temper is Less lightly to rise We need to stay healthy In mind body and soul Peace is the key That keeps us in control Your home is a sanctuary Where your family relaxes Not a place where Anger and rage climaxes If you encourage Each other daily It will be like Dancing to a ukulele Joy will fill your place Happiness and smiles Shines on their faces What a wonderful Start to your day Before you go on Your way Praying for each other Assures them Of the love from their Father and mother Peace and harmony Unites your family as one God has taught us this Through his Son © Natalie Price May 2009 |
BRAVE MEN CALL ON HIM Our enemies are doomed Praise God His light shines through All the gloom The devil works to Rob and betray But the Lord He uses his sword To stop the devil’s Malicious ways The Lord is merciful And full of grace He accepts you as you are Even when you feel You’re an utter disgrace He wants to protect us Day by day And save us in times Of trouble so that We’re okay My adversaries will flee They know my Lord Is standing with me How great is the Lord He rules everything So beautifully in one accord Brave men call on him Because they know That they will win © Natalie Price May 2009 |
| TURN FROM YOUR SINS Don’t think the Lord Is too weak to save you He does hear your cry for help But if we refuse to listen It will only caused division Why put God’s word on the shelf You will only hurt yourself It’s because of our sins That separates us from God We can be an unruly mob That is why sometimes We need to be guided With an iron rod Sin slowly destroys us And eats away our trust Our wounds will go deeper And our lives become bleaker Walking in darkness Is like having dark shadows Surrounding you without hope You then find it harder to cope God does not want us in distress Turn from your sins And you will be blessed © Natalie Price May 2009 |
MY
TRUE FRIEND I must have an angel That shines the Lord’s light On each step that I take From the moment I’m awake I know my Lord As my personal Saviour He changed my heart And my behaviour Many times I’ve talked to him As my true friend He knows My innermost secrets It’s a wonder I haven’t Sent him around the bend But the great part is He never condemns me My eyes are gently opened So that I can see With a greater understanding His Holy Spirit is guiding me I’m never ashamed To call on his name In his hands I feel secure I’ve come along way And have matured My fears, my shame He took it all By the power of his name I never thought life Could be so good But he believed in me And he understood © Natalie Price May 2009 |
