Remember the day we met
D
It was my dream come true
C
To see an angel
D
I had been waiting for
G
all my life…..
I used to pray every day
That God will make you mine someday
That this is all I want
All I ask all I need
The reason to believe
The angel I had been waiting for
My hopes my dreams my life
I saw my future
In her eyes
Now I thank the lord for his silence
She is not the angel
I’d been waiting for all my life…
And I know one day
I’ll introduce her to my wife
And when she walks away, I’ll know
She is not the angel
I’d been waiting for
All my life
Yes God knows, he understands
But he knows what’s best
In our hands
His silence doesn’t mean he doesn’t care
He knows my angel
Before I met her
I thank God
For unanswered prayers
Are gifts from above
To show us he knows
They are the best gift of love

The G-FORCE
The world is spinning upside down
How we are stuck to the ground
The G-FORCE holding our feet
From beneath
Even small molecules bond
By the cohesive bond
The G-FORCE
Holding them together
Cho:
The force is strong
The force is deep
This force was there right from start
And it lives right inside your heart
Can you feel this force inside?
Can you feel it holding you tight?
Something within us is good
It is what makes us understood
G-FORCE is what I am talking about
It lives inside every creation
The hand of God, his word
His breath in every invention
Man is destroying, wiping out
Everything in his lust
But still the world is renewed every day
The G-FORCE is still making a way
How we are stuck to the ground
The G-FORCE holding our feet
From beneath
Even small molecules bond
By the cohesive bond
The G-FORCE
Holding them together
Cho:
The force is strong
The force is deep
This force was there right from start
And it lives right inside your heart
Can you feel this force inside?
Can you feel it holding you tight?
Something within us is good
It is what makes us understood
G-FORCE is what I am talking about
It lives inside every creation
The hand of God, his word
His breath in every invention
Man is destroying, wiping out
Everything in his lust
But still the world is renewed every day
The G-FORCE is still making a way
Children of the king
Have you ever wondered
Who you are
beside
The person you know inside
All you have to do is
Close your eyes
Breathe his love
inside
Yeah you are special
Made in the image of God
His breath in you
Will life renew
All you have to do
Is change the old for new
Give him your heart
Not just a part
Give him your best
And be at rest
He will take you
Mold you, make you
The most beautiful thing
In all creation
All you have to do
Is change the old for new
There are people perishing
Not knowing
That they are the children
Of the almighty king
All you have to do
Is change the old for new
Who you are
beside
The person you know inside
All you have to do is
Close your eyes
Breathe his love
inside
Yeah you are special
Made in the image of God
His breath in you
Will life renew
All you have to do
Is change the old for new
Give him your heart
Not just a part
Give him your best
And be at rest
He will take you
Mold you, make you
The most beautiful thing
In all creation
All you have to do
Is change the old for new
There are people perishing
Not knowing
That they are the children
Of the almighty king
All you have to do
Is change the old for new

GIVE LOVE A CHANCE
‘Change is inevitable’, seems to be the modern day acceptance of something that goes out of control. The locus of a point shifts from trust to heartbreaks and to mistrust and eventually into depression and loneliness. Does the phrase “I am right in the middle of the crowd and yet feel lonely…” seem familiar to you? Welcome on board to the phase of modern world generation. Don’t be surprised if you find your friends in the same platform too. Welcome to the age where dreams are but dreams that get blown away by the storms of life. But the question is where are you when this is happening to you?
It wasn’t long before when the world seemed a large place, where few friends we knew meant the world to us. But now it gets shorter and shorter and your friends’ circle grows by the day. And yet, you feel lonely, rejected and used. That’s the truth all of us have to face. It is one thing to grow through it, another thing to come out of it. ‘Today’s friends are tomorrow’s strangers’. That is what life teaches us, to move on. Sometimes hanging in there make us look like fools.
But let us not forget the utmost importance of us in this world is not how much money we made, but how many hearts we had won. Relationships are the most important purpose of our life, but in this modern world people hardly seem to have time for Relationships. They get caught in the web of being busy that they suddenly wake up from a dream and realize that all they been working for was not for themselves but for others. But the truth is’ the others’ whom they were working for are no more with them. It is sadly the pattern of Life that goes around in a city that is on the history of having Metros and Fast Life, a city known for its fast developments and for future of India. A city that offers illusions and delusions on a platter, where pub culture is the talk of the town, where the most number of suicides take place and most of them are young aspirants who come here and get entangled in its pace that they forget who they are and at the end of the day mess up their life. The only thing that comes to their mind is suicide. Where is the picture of Love, Acceptance and Belonging in this whole place?
“Love is also spelled as TIME”. Unfortunately we have become so engrossed in our own fragments of our own small life that we loose the criteria of the utmost importance of Friendship, Family and People. We have reached a plateau where Love is but a dream, its true form being tampered and meddled with, that leaves a ghastly hole at the end of it all. The gyre of hopelessness and helplessness, the torment of loneliness, frustration and rejection has made life meaningless. Where are we going?
The moment we realize that we live not for ourselves but for others is the day when we really start living. It isn’t so much about sacrifice, but it is everything about Love. Love needs space in this cramped city. Love needs to take root in this fast western culture. Love needs to express and expand and reach out to those who are at the verge of ending their life. Love needs to break through the situations and through barriers of every culture, caste and creed. Love needs to take flight and carry our dreams with it, to catch the maker and to bring hope and a bright future. Love needs to expound and bring a change where people are not machines but people who feel, react and respond. Love needs to generate oneness and unity. Let Love get a chance. Let it be born in us. Give Love a Chance.
And when it grows let us dream and this time we know we do not dream alone. And let us hope, this time we know we do not hope alone. Let us Love and know that we are loved.
Rise up India, Rise up as one.

Solace-Buried in the bed of roses
I walk through the crowd seeing new faces all around
But tell me where will I find someone like you gal
My heart is heavy; my spirit is shattered to the ground
I lost my grip I hit the floor, lost in this lonely world.
No one knows what it’s like to be desperate heart
No one knows what I am feeling inside
I have lost it all to you, all my part
There’s nothing I own, nothing I am without you beside
I stay awake listening to my heart beats calling your name
When I shut my eyes I am lost and no one can find me
I don’t want to open my eyes for I see you so close
I feel every breath, I feel every touch, I see every smile
I try to run, run away, run away from you, but in vain
The sound of your sweet voice within
The smell of love within me breathing
Can’t you see the pain?
I can’t live a life without you, can’t dream
I can’t do anything; I will drown in the flood
My heart is bleeding within, drowning in its blood
I love you baby, always I’ll be there
I’ll be there till the stars don’t shine,
Till the cosmos falls, coz I love you all the time
Any time, till the time itself ends,
Till this life within bends, till itself ends.
Doesn’t love over come all these temporary features,
Doesn’t it over come lust greed and pleasures
Doesn’t it always mean more than what it really means?
Doesn’t love over come all these things, coz love always wins
But you say to run away, run away from you
Coz if that’s what makes you happy, I’ll do
Even if it rips my heart, shatters my dreams
I’ll do it for you, and I know that my love will be buried…………..
In the bed of roses……………………….

Lifesong
1. I lay looking at the stars
The odor of sweet flowers
The soft grass, whispering soft breeze
Radiant silver moonlight
The rustling hustling of leaves
CHO:
I hear them singing and saying
I hear them praying
I hear them shouting
Blessed is the name
The name above all names
As they sing my heart rejoices
For he has saved my soul
And I join with their voices
And thank him for making me whole
2. I walk down the mountain side
The fresh morning breeze
The sun behind the punge clouds hide
The soft sand under my heels
The tall dancing trees and humming bees
My god is a god of power
And I have nothing to fear
He takes care of me every day every hour
And is always near
I talk to him every day
I sing and I pray
He makes my life so beautiful
And covers me with love and care
I trust him more and more
As I taste his love
He is so faithful and true
And will never ever leave me now
Last night I was in tears
All hope was gone
Now I have no strength
To carry me on
The world closed around me
And darkness surrounds me
And then I came to you
My Lord
You changed my tears into Joy
And now my heart is singing
The odor of sweet flowers
The soft grass, whispering soft breeze
Radiant silver moonlight
The rustling hustling of leaves
CHO:
I hear them singing and saying
I hear them praying
I hear them shouting
Blessed is the name
The name above all names
As they sing my heart rejoices
For he has saved my soul
And I join with their voices
And thank him for making me whole
2. I walk down the mountain side

The sun behind the punge clouds hide

The tall dancing trees and humming bees
My god is a god of power
And I have nothing to fear
He takes care of me every day every hour
And is always near
I talk to him every day
I sing and I pray
He makes my life so beautiful
And covers me with love and care
I trust him more and more
As I taste his love
He is so faithful and true
And will never ever leave me now
Last night I was in tears
All hope was gone
Now I have no strength
To carry me on
The world closed around me
And darkness surrounds me
And then I came to you
My Lord
You changed my tears into Joy
And now my heart is singing
