SO MUCH TO THANK YOU FOR Oh my Lord I have so much To thank you for You called my name When I was in the pit And held out your hand You told me not to quit More determined Than ever With you by my side There was hope at last So I got rid of my pride Breaking down The barriers that stood Between you and me Releasing me From my burdens Your grace and mercy Set me free The kind of love That you give Is so amazing In the way You forgive Almighty God Your love for us Was given Through your Son My gift back to you Is my heart That Jesus won © Natalie Price May 2009 |
| LEAN ON JESUS There are times When we do not Feel at ease Our worries And concerns Seem so heavy It’s like we are Being squeezed Your home may Not be a sanctuary Of peace And everything Is closing in on you And all you want is Your freedom To be released We must take Our first step in faith It’s either that Or we break Courage to do What is best for you Means you are making A positive move Why allow yourself To be persecuted By the scum of the earth So evil and polluted The Bible teaches us To be strong And of good courage Don’t stay In a situation Where you are Being discouraged Don’t be afraid You will not be Betrayed If you lean on Jesus And let him have His way © Natalie Price May 2009 |

FATHER I am deeply shocked My life turned upside down I wish the earth would Swallow me Under the ground How did this happen And why This is so hard to except Now all I do is cry My foundation Has been shattered Life for me Does not matter The Dad That I thought was mine I found out today was a lie Part of me has died All these years gone by I have been denied Of being told the truth Until now That I’m a youth My Mum Refuses to answer She says it’s all in the past It’s eating within me Like a cancer It’s so hard for me to grasp Where is my real Dad And where can I find him I’m am so sad I feel really bad Some one told me today About my true heritage In heaven One that could never Be taken away Praise God My everlasting Father Will never go away © Natalie Price May 31st, 2009 |
SCARED TO LOVE AGAIN I’m so sick Of being heartbroken Time after time When will it ever end I have to move on And get my life On the mend I’m almost to scared To love again I’ve met so many Unscrupulous men They only want A good time Usually sex And some wine None of them Take me seriously And can act Very maliciously They think It’s their right To use And abuse you Then take What they can With all Their demands Being strong In saying no Is probably the only Way that I should go I must learn To stand up for myself Or it will Affect my health Somewhere out there There is a man that cares I just have to be patient And give it to the Lord In prayer © Natalie Price June 2009 |
| CONNECTING IS WHAT IT’S ABOUT Cherishing your loved ones Their worth is priceless Every day is precious And you are blessed We are like a puzzle So beautifully connected And when one is hurting We all become affected Love is given freely No cost involved I thank God very dearly For all my Family and friends They're such a blessing Without them I would Go around the bend Even though at times We all step out of line It gives us an opportunity To work together in unity But at the end of the day We have each other And in God’s eyes He says, we are all Sisters and brothers No one is really alone There is always someone That will make you Feel at home Even if you think Life is not fair We are here And really do care God’s love is a gift A blessing that is shared © Natalie Price June 2009 |
DON’T LET FEAR CONTROL YOU Don’t let fear control you No matter what your Circumstances are If fear controls Everything you do The devil has full Control over you My youngest son Feared going to jail As there are Many sick males He believed he would Be sexually attacked This happens in jail And that is a fact For two years He hid himself in fear And did not work Or claim the dole He sure was Stuck in a hole His self esteem Went down the drain In his world He was going insane I tried hard to talk Some sense into him His life was Full of hopelessness Misery and sin Eventually he was caught His life was over So he thought The judge was kind My son was only fined Fear destroys and robs You of your joy Turn to Jesus And you will see Satan has no power And will definitely flee © Natalie Price June 2009 |
| THINK BEFORE YOU DO THE DEED A new baby on the way But you’re not happy And it will not go away Taking responsibility For this new life May involved In you taking A new wife This is something You did not expect But it’s not fair On the child If you have any regrets How would you Like to feel rejected Without being loved And accepted Your baby has needs If you did not want The child in the first place You shouldn’t have Done the deed A new baby is a joy Not something to stuff Away as a toy From the moment Of conception Your baby Needs affection A seed of love Is planted in the womb Nurturing your baby With love Will grow and bloom This is well away From the gloom and doom © Natalie Price June 2009 |
BE CAREFUL DON’T GET BURNT Flaunting your body Is not a good idea People start looking At you very weird You may think you’re secure But you could be in danger Of being lured And before you realize it You’re running in fear Be careful don’t get burnt Hopefully this is Something you’ve learnt Wisdom comes with maturity Or you could end up Losing your purity In today’s society It’s become fashionable To bare it all But the danger in that Is you’re most likely to fall Your body is precious And your true beauty Is within you This is a reflection Of the real you Self respect gives honour To your body But acting brazen You become shoddy Putting yourself in a position To be sexually molested Causes others to sin into temptation This is a serious violation Think about the way you dress Who do you really want to impress We also have an obligation And that is setting an example For the next generation © Natalie Price June 2009 |

TIME GOES VERY FAST In my quite time Reflecting over the past My tears of joy and sadness I realized time Was going very fast My life has changed Since I gave My heart to the Lord God fills my days So I am never bored My children I love dearly But I do not see That much of them really They have their lives And they’re growing in size I know they care But they have Their families to rear But as you grow older And you’re on your own It can be a lonely life I don’t like being alone I think about All the precious Times we shared And also all the times My kids were scared The Lord has made Me strong and taught me Where I was wrong Many mistakes I’ve made And I’ve felt really afraid God gave me a purpose I’m certainly not worthless I think back to the time When I was lost If it wasn’t for Jesus Dying on the cross I can’t imagine What my life would be Praise God he set me free © Natalie Price June 2009 |

| BE AWARE OF THE WARNING SIGNS Sometimes in a relationship A partner does not share Their true feelings And can be very secretive In their dealings They appear that they care But in fact behind your back They’re having an affair Be aware of the warning signs Watch and listen Hear what they’re saying Between the lines You realize that Their interest in you Is getting less and less In what you do Especially when they Stay away from home At another address Suddenly you find They rather go out Without you And work longer Hours than usual They’re full of excuses Communication and Lack of interest In doing things with you Can tell you so much You know You’re almost through My advice to you Is to let them go That kind of relationship Will never grow Give yourself a chance You may find someone new It’s better than suffering All the hurt and pain That they will Put you through © Natalie Price June 2009 |
AVOID ALL ARGUMENTS IF YOU CAN Jumping to conclusions Sometimes its not What they’re thinking It can often fire up a big fight Causing the other person To start drinking Think before you speak They may be under stress And very weak All it needs is a trigger And a little argument Can turn bigger People have been Known to snap They become unbalanced And then they crack Try being tolerant When you need answers Or it will get on their nerves And you may get something You really don’t deserve It’s a good idea to take Note of mood swings As you never know When you open up A hornet’s nest What it will bring Your children Learn and listen To what you say This is their base So start today Home is where They learn respect You do have A duty of care This is something You don’t Want to regret Avoid all arguments If you can A peaceful home Is what God has planned © Natalie Price June 2009 |
| BETRAYED BY HIS BROTHER What a nightmare Two brothers They were very close To one another Torn apart by infidelity I pray to God It doesn’t turn into A fatality, the hatred That is brewing My youngest son is stewing His partner destroyed Any trust that was Between them She slept with his brother Because she Was keen on him Now she is pregnant Believing its my Eldest son’s child He will be sorry Because this sin is so vile This is not the first time She had done an act Of this kind My son wanted to die Because of her Disloyalty and lies He use a razor blade To cut his wrist Praise God He didn’t succeed And that he missed Naturally this burden Will be hard for him to bare When he finds out the truth He will go off His brain and swear At the moment he still thinks This child belongs to him This is an evil act of betrayal By his brothers wicked sin And his brother does not want The responsibility of this baby So he wants his Younger brother to believe It was through his seed This child was conceived © Natalie Price June 2009 |
HIS MIND SO TWISTED THROUGH CHILD ABUSE Twisted through lies and jealously So corrupt in his thinking He does it so viciously When he is destroying lives He actually thrives The heart of this man Is very sick So many times he Was punch and kicked Abused from a small child He has become Insanely sick It’s like he wants to hurt His family for every Painful hit But not only us In all mankind He has lost his trust With no true friends He has a heart of revenge The love he has received Is thrown back at us So we grieve Many times, we’ve tried But he breaks all our hearts And the family cries None of us know What to do He is not only hurting us But himself too All I can do is give this To the Lord And pray to God This curse on his life Is broken off By the Lord’s sword Abuse can destroy A person’s mind Prayer is the only hope For this kind of crime Bitterness and hate Will predict his fate Prayer is what is needed Before it’s too late © Natalie Price June 2009 |
