STRENGTH UNDER CONTROL: IN THE NEW YEAR

When you encounter people 
Who are poisoned inside 
Don't let it rub off on you
If you sink down to their level
And you're cold and rude back to them
You've allowed them to contaminate you

Rise above that 
Be a part of the solution not the problem
You overcome evil with good
Of somebody is rude to you just bless them
When you're a meek person 

You don't go around trying to strengthen
Everybody out you don't 
Respond to every critics 
People may be talking about you
But you don't let it brother you

You may have the power
To strengthen bout your critics 
You may feel like giving them a piece of your mind
Your emotions may tell you get in there
Pay them back...get even

Be clam and cool and steady
Don't give away your power 
Keep your strength under control
Successful people don't allow garbage 
Trucks to unload on them

Keep your lid on
Sometimes you may need to have a steel lid
These days though so many people 
Are dumping out poison through criticism 
You'll need to keep that lid tight.

THE OIL OF JOY FOR THE NEW YEAR

"God has anointed you 
With the oil of gladness
More than your companions 
You and I are supposed to be happier
Than the average person 

God has anointed us
With the oil of joy
In the New Year you can't let
Anyone's bad attitude ruins your good one
The oil of joy for the New Year

Instead infect them
With a smile and kind words
God knew you would have 
To deal with negative people 
That's why He said

I've given you an advantage 
I've anointed you with 
The oil of joy in this New Year and forever
So you can be happier and live happier 
Than those around you in this New Year.

LIGHT THE WORLD IN THE NEW YEAR

The Scripture talks about believers 
Representing God here on earth 
We are Christ's ambassadors
If we're to represent God properly 
We should do it with joy, enthusiasm and smile

People of faith are supposed 
To be the lights of the world
In this New Year
I believe the switch that turns on
The light is a smile

Some who lacks faith 
May not want to listen 
To what we believe 
But they certainly watch how we live
Lighting the world in the New Year

We are living epistles read by all men
Some may not read the Bible 
But they're reading our lives 
As the saying goes preach at all times
Use words only when necessary

 
Many people see you
What kind of message are they getting
Are you friendly, happy and good-nurtured?
Do you want the life you have?
Or are you uptight on edge, stressed
So grumpy that people run from you.

IN THE NEW YEAR YOU COMPLAIN, YOU REMAIN

If you're complaining 
About where you are
You won't get where you want to be
If you're complaining about what you have
I believe God will not increase you with more

To keep  your life in perspective 
Try making a list of all things 
You are grateful for
Write down ten things that God has blessed you with
And put the list where you constantly see it

Every morning 
Read over that list two or three times
Do the same every night before you go to bed
In the New Year remember 
You complain you remain

 
When you meditate on the goodness or God
It will help you leave the right perspective 
And release your faith too
When your faith is released 
God's power is activated.

A NEW DAY DECISION DAY

Is a new day
A new day of hope
A new day of courage
A new day of change
A new day to dream again

Is a new dawn
Of more incredible things to come
Of so many aspirations beyond limitations
Of soaring so high on eagles wind
Of making the best of each day in the new dawn

Is a new moment
To be alive and being present
To be full of commitment toward our goal
To be in every moment living in each of them
Is a new day of a new moment

A new day of a fresh new you
To become a better you
To stretch above your environment
To explore the unexplored ground
Is a new day of better many things to come.

A new day
To learn, relearn and unlearn
To look back on how far you've come
To map out the road ahead in the coming days
To beat the odds and obstacles

Is a new dawn
To let go and let God
Take the wheel and stirs it a right
To lead the way while you follow behind
Because in His time He made all things beautiful.

THE BIRTH OF A NEW DAY

I pray for today's good and gracious
That heaven opens it treasure house
On us all sends us the rain from above
To wash away all our sins and selfishness
That the birth of a new day

Springs forth greater glory of God in us
Picking us up from the chains of darkness
As the light of His dear son breaks the darkness
Of satan's follies cast on us to asunder
The birth of a new day

A new day of freedom from hate of the world
That the Word made flesh bring health
To our bones and life to our inner man
A breakforth from the norms of these world
The birth of a new day

Brings us closer to God
Farer from the god of this world
That Heaven guess around us
Bring us to the higher calling
Breaking the grips of self and sin on us all

That we experience Christ in its entirety
We run the race and never be weary
That the busyness of life won't make us
Loose side from our eyes on the prize
The birth of a new day

A new day of consistent Christian living
A new day of renew consecration and dedication
A new day of ever increasing grace and faith
A new day of forgetting the past reaching forth
A new birth of a new day of great possibilities

Go out there
Like the daughter and son of the Most High
Walk like the greater One lives in you
With shoulder high and standing upstraight
Because is the birth of a new day and a new you
HAPPY FIRST SUNDAY IN THE MONTH OF MAY.
