| LIFE CAN BE A STRUGGLE Living from week to week Is a battle to make ends meet And it often causes arguments To say the least Not enough food in the pantry Can make you pretty angry The bills keep coming in Sometimes you don’t know Where to begin The kids are always Needing stuff But sadly there Is never enough The rent has to be paid Otherwise there is no Place for us to stay Casual work is all That is on offer You can’t managed On low wages This is not proper Trying to survive In hard times Drives you crazy And plays on your mind The family is under stress A multiple of problems Can put you to the test Jesus can change your life You will notice the difference As things come right We must trust in our Lord Give him our lives to restore He gives up hope And we do learn how to cope Life can be a struggle But instead of arguing Give each other a cuddle © Natalie Price July 2009 |

| FRIENDSHIP Some of us through life and Only find one really good friend But it’s a sad reflection On our society When so many of our So called friends Just pretend I live on my own So you do find It hard when you’re alone A real friend is one That is there for you When all others are gone And is interested in What you do And spending Time with you I would love a friend To drop in for Morning tea Have a lovely chat Maybe take a walk With me Or we could pack Up a picnic And go to the park Walk around the grounds And have a good laugh No one seems to Have the time today They’re far to busy It always seems that way I’ve decided to do Some outreach work Maybe I will find a friend And not another jerk I’ve always welcomed People into my home But most of them Have used me And left me all alone I talk to Jesus Every day He’s my only friend Which I’m sad to say © Natalie Price July 2009 |
PRAY FOR LOST SOULS Drunk and disorderly Most of the time He looks so dirty And he acts like slime This man comes down For a food with the homeless His life looks pretty hopeless To my surprise He turned up at church I saw him mocking God But I believe he was There to search He may be looking For answers It’s very hard to tell This man’s state of mind Is certainly not well But somewhere Deep down within his soul God is calling him To get his life under control He was asked to come But he didn’t have too Most people think he’s scum But he came all the same He looked rather lame This man got up to leave I stopped him on the way out And told him God loves him without a doubt I also told him I understood And wanted to help him If I could I believe he has been Really hurt Most people treat him Just like dirt But God has heard His inner cry And doesn’t want This man to die There is hope for lost souls Jesus takes back What the devil has stole This man needs our prayers And needs to know That others care © Natalie Price July 2009 |
| WE ARE MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD We are not made of Dirty rags And we are not Stinking rubbish To toss in the bin We are made in The image of God Who takes away our sin We have hearts that beat That feel and weep Who need to be loved Not punched and shoved We want to be accepted Instead of feeling In desolation and rejected Abused people Need compassion Not to be used further By someone’s lustful passion You get sick and tired Of being used They think You’re an easy target In whom they can abuse We like to be spoken too With respect Instead of being Yelled at and made To feel like a reject When you show kindness To someone And then get ignored That really hurts And you need to change That’s for sure How can people Be so heartless and cruel We are not complete Stupid fools One day you will pay You really need Jesus What more can I say © Natalie Price July 2009 |
GET RID OF THE VERMIN I’m counting my blessings Instead of counting my sorrows I look forward to a bright future Instead of dreading tomorrow My dreams and my joy Are not going to be destroyed Every day I choose To make the most of I refuse to allow my Peace to be robbed Thank you Lord For helping me Change my attitude I owe my God My gratitude Negative thinking Will only destroy Your goals When I lost All my confidence My life Went out of control Why let the devil Rob you on what God has in store If your life Has been full of misery Why let it go on for more Get rid of the vermin And be determined There is a better life For you out there You may find true love With someone That really does care © Natalie Price July 2009 |
| WE WERE NOT BORN TO BE SCORNED I’m not a free meal ticket When you feel like dropping in Or being thrown on the bed For you to engage in lustful sin I deserve to be treated With respect I’m not an object for your use And then to reject Stop playing games With my emotions There isn’t an ounce of loyalty In your bones Let alone care and devotion When you receive love You treat it with contempt Nothing that comes Out of your mouth Is meant You expect all the privileges Of a being husband And make all your demands But you have no Intentions of doing Right thing And you call yourself a man Praise the Lord For all the prayers That broke through to my heart My life has been changed I have a brand new start My Lord has given Me back my worth And I will witness To all the earth God has his ways In reaching you He will never give up Until you pull through His plans for you Were put into place Before you were born You were never meant To have a life to be scorned © Natalie Price July 2009 |
PREGNANT, I WOULD NOT LISTEN A new baby is on the way My boyfriend does Not want to stay This burden is far too heavy For me to bare alone What can I do As I cannot go on home My parents Would not understand How can I tell them About his man I acted like a fool And refused to obey My family’s rules Where can I go If only I had said no There is no one to turn too To help me through It’s too late now The damage is done I can’t turn away And run This is something I have to face And bare the blunt Of being disgraced What hope is there For my child Rejected before it’s born Oh why did I not listen I was severely warned The bible says Come to me all you Who are heavily burdened And I will give you rest In this promise I feel blessed Jesus will give me guidance And show me the way My boyfriend left me But Jesus never goes away © Natalie Price July 2009 |
| SOME MEN CAN PUT OUT YOUR FIRE Have you ever been accused Of being a lousy partner And you don’t measure up in bed Well let me tell you guys out there You need a lump of lead What makes you men Think you’re all that great Most of you can’t keep it straight And by the time You’ve finished it’s far to late A woman will only respond As good as the man can give And if he can’t perform He gets a big head And becomes very vindictive He shoves the blame back On the woman But he’s the one he is fooling It really does get up my nose I would rather go tell him To shove it up a hose It’s an insult with no respect How can you say You love someone And then try to connect Go find yourself a blow up doll It’s got no feeling But it’s got a hole A simple touch on the skin Can do amazing things within A gentle kiss on the neck Has a wonderful effect Kind actions Bring loving reactions I’ve come to one conclusion Some men are so disillusioned They don’t know The real meaning of love If you don’t unwind Their kinky minds You’re pushed Away with a shove They rather have you Locked down in chains To fulfill their perverted desires Personally I feel They’re insane in the brain And really know how To put out your fire © Natalie Price July 2009 |
FEAR OF THE NIGHT I lay awake watching the door And every dark shadow On the wall My ears are listening To every sound You can almost feel My heart pound Every thing around me Seems creepy It’s very hard for me To become sleepy A car pulls up In our drive The house door bangs I know he’s arrived Scared stiff and Shaking in my bed My head starts to ache And feels like lead I hear mum screaming Night after night This man Is so mean and nasty He gives me a fright Why does mum Put up with him He’s no good for her She shouldn’t Let him in I live in fear Of every night In case he comes Into my room And turns on the light Lord please Help my mum Forget this scum I pray for a world Where there are No more tears With no more fears Where I don’t hear My mum cry in pain I know she feels ashamed Please make her strong She knows this is so wrong © Natalie Price July 2009 |
| PLEASE CALL ON JESUS At the end of every storm We go though There is a glimmer of light We must be prepared To listen if we want to Make things right We don’t need To suffer alone If we invite Jesus Into our home We can go on living Our own merry way Wining and dining And living a life of sin The power of darkness Will get stronger If we don’t let Jesus in Every dark cloud Has a silver lining Instead of living in misery You could be smiling The path we choose We can win or we can lose It depends on us In whom we trust The devil is a destroyer His evilness fills this earth You see it all around you He’s out to tear down Your worth There is a golden Lamp That shines from heaven above It gives light to our footsteps Full of compassion and love Please call on Jesus To enter your heart He changed my life And gave me a brand new start His grace and mercy Has followed And he has relieved My pain and sorrow He forgave all my sins Now I have a heart for others It’s a beautiful life Loving one another Forgiveness was something I knew I must do He keeps his promises They all come true © Natalie Price July 2009 |
HE’S A MISERABLE CREEP Your boyfriend takes Advantage of you Get rid of him Or he will bring you Down too He doesn’t support You in any of your Daily needs He really is some kind Of a parasite of a breed You’re on a low income Trying to make ends meet What a low down Miserable creep He comes in for his meals Offers you nothing You’re on a raw deal Obviously he doesn’t Think much of your Financial position Not to mention you Or your pregnancy condition It’s about time he put His hands in his own pocket Instead of using you By now I would have Gone off my rocket What kind of game Is he playing Get rid of him Without delaying If he will not help you now He never will Why would he care If you can’t pay your bills How can you respect him As a man Your children Are certainly not his fans Kids don’t forget What they see and hear One day they’ll grow up Then he will have Something to fear © Natalie Price July 2009 |
| I THANK YOU LORD THAT I WAS BORN I would hate to think What my life would be Without my God Part of me would be gone And I would feel rather odd It’s a scary thought I’ve learnt so much From what he’s taught Life for me would Not be the same I thank you Lord That you came My heart is full of emotion When I think Of the Lord’s devotion I have this Sense of protection And I actually feel His deep love of affection I leave everything In his hands He made all the earth And every grain of sand I was brought into This world for his purpose Like the mighty sea And the land That covers the surface God has shown His mighty works All over this earth The beauty in his creation Certainly shows its worth Without him our lives Would be nothing I think of him When the birds sing As the sun rises And new day dawns I thank you Lord That I was born © Natalie Price July 2009 |
CHOOSE THE RIGHT PATH My journey along The course I have chosen Has been like the sea Land and erosion The sea with ever Changing tides This path I walk I’ve taken in my stride The land where Foundation is laid I’ve built my life On what God has made Erosion in my life Has chipped away A cross I will have to bare Come what may Cherish all that you Have been given Call on your Lord He has forgiven Each day you have Make the most of Let God’s light shine Through your fog Serve your God With all your heart Show compassion Before you start Kind words don’t cost But losing Someone is a loss Help put a smile On someone’s face Let them feel God’s awesome embrace © Natalie Price May 2007 |
