LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION

-
There are a lot of instances we're drawn to temptation
We easily fall as this world is beguiling us to walk on
If our journey is not rooted in our God, we might fall
And if we aren't careful in our steps, we will stumble

We are attracted to the material things in this world
We're weak to shun iniquity, and we're hard to mold
We love prestige and fame more than loving our Lord
We have no time in God; in transgressing, we are bold

Do not lead us into temptation, Oh Lord, protect us!
We quickly get jealous of those who have so much
Don't let us be lured to things that aren't meant for us
Let us focus our eyes on You and set our entire trust

Lead us not into temptation, Oh dear God, and save us!
That is nothing remarkable but putting You in our hearts
We will pave the right avenue in making our lives last
We only have to behave so that our souls won't crash!

SUBSTANCE OF LOVE

  SUBSTANCE OF LOVE On the misty eve of Christmas (2020), I smelled the excellent year of 2021, the year of prosperity. The year to get back to normal as everyone hopes, the year of greatness and power, implies all the experiences we had in 2020, full of challenges. The pandemic gives many twists to our life. Many failed on some plans because of the travel restrictions. Yet,  we can say we need to wait for God's perfect time. Just trust in Him. The pandemic protocols of various places make us dizzy, yet we have learned a lot to deal with it. I looked at it with a grain of salt. It's futile to complain about things aimed at the betterment of all.  When I am alone, I can't stop myself from pondering things that pop up in my mind.  It was not about the pandemic and the lockdown we experienced that prevented us from having business-related inter-island trips.    I was sitting in a little corner of my room, listening to the acoustic tune of my heart and trying to scribble its me

To the man whom my heart commits for life Intensely for decades, I've been here on your side Love that never withers as I devote myself till the end Love that lingers even though many times I was in pain Delve into my heart,  I cried a thousand tears Ethereal sensation is gasping its breath within Axiomatic blast of my tender pledge of love screams To  you who broke me the most, I sense your remorse Hail my heart, it has an outlandish strength to hold Did you find yourself in my heart still being held? Over those years happiness was what I always yielded. Unbothered by the tease of life I tried to be steadfast Sustained through faith I amassed strength to make this last Paving our way now to the inescapable calling of extinction Abloom by intense grip even pangs entwined our emotion Rest assured I will be here, I'll remain stalwart not to depart Two of us will keep our commitments, till death do us part
