Chapter One

      Teach me to love


    Teach me to love O Lord
    As I go through my daily chores,
    Guide me O Lord I pray
    As I go through my daily chores.

    Each day that comes my way,
    Give me strength to endure
    The task that's set before me,
    That I can love and show compassion
    No matter what the task maybe,
    I am depending on you.

    Temptation is along the way,
    Persecution and suffering
    Is along the way,
    But my faith is in you Lord,
    I know you will rescue me
    With your love and kindness;

    Let us do our best;
    The end of all things is near,
    Let us love one another earnestly,
    Jesus you died that we may live;
    What a love you have for us.


      Joyful

    Let your hope keep you joyful,
    Be patient in your troubles,
    Pray at all times;
    Have the same concern for everyone,
    Try your best to love at all times.

    Do not be proud,
    Humble yourself like a child,
    If someone done you wrong
    Do not repay him with wrong;
    Do everything possible to live in peace.

    Don't take revenge
    Let God do it instead,
    God will pay back to everyone
    According to his work.
    If your enemy is hungry feed him,
    Don't let evil defeat you.


      A new start

    Time for a change
    What is done is done,
    God has given me a new day
    To start all over again,
    I'll do it His way,
    I will let go the past
    And forgive myself of yesterday.

    Lead me O Lord
    In the right direction,
    Even when am in doubt,
    Let me remember
    That you will never leave me alone,
    Let your Holy Spirit
    Fill me up with confidence.

    It is hard to walk life's journey,
    But give me strength
    So I may not fall by the wayside,
    Giving up is not on my mind
    For I believe in you,
    No matter what Lord.


      Keep on going

    When the road get rough
    And the journey seems endless,
    Remember Jesus is a way maker
    Just keep believing in Him,
    Keep on going,
    He will see you through to the end.

    Sometimes you'll feel like giving up,
    For everything that you try
    Seems to be going wrong,
    But hold on to the Lord,
    Keep your faith and dreams
    And a positive note;

    For this life is not an easy task,
    The enemy will let you believe
    You can't make it,
    But with God,
    All things are possible,
    He said the world will hate you if you love Him.


      All i've got is you

    When friendship is on the line
    What about trust, loyalty and respect,
    When friendship is on the line
    What about love,
    Forgiveness and kindness;

    God is all I've got
    From my cell block,
    These walls are my company,
    I will never give up
    Time is what I've got,
    So I think about all the things
    That I've done wrong.

    I am still your friend
    Even though you give up on me,
    I have nothing bad to say about you,
    I pray to the Lord,
    To keep me safe from danger at all times,
    I'm leaning on the Lord;

    This is not a good place for any man,
    Since I've been here
    I've learnt about faith,
    I've learnt about hope,
    I've learnt to be humble;


      A better day

    Jesus there were times
    When you let the world know
    That poor and rich are equal
    In God's sight,
    One for all and all for one;

    Your words give the people hope
    For a better day,
    That they can live on without giving up,
    For you let them know that
    We are one.

    It doesn't matter what country you're from
    We must try and live together,
    Jesus stands for love;
    Some may hate what He stands for,
    But that is the price He pays to be who He really is,
    The son of God;


      Count your blessing

    Everyone that I know
    Is doing well except for me,
    God what have I done?
    I pray and my prayers are not answered,
    I've lost faith in you
    And I don't know what to do,
    Why do you let me suffer?

    I've...
