O' the greatest love

When I think how difficult
Yet so easy it was
For God to love man so much
It pleased Him to redeem
Sinners like you and me
That He could willingly give His Son.

When I think how difficult
It must have been to count
The blameless amongst dacoits and thieves
Yet it pleased God so much
To punish Jesus because of our sins.

When I think how difficult
It must have been to take
All our sins and put it on Christ
And to take His Righteousness and put it on us
And despite all the pains we give
Yet smiling God says "I love you so much".

When I think how difficult it all must have been
I know the only sane way to live
Is to accept His love
Is to accept His forgiveness
Is to start all over again
And be a new creation in Him.

A thankyou note... straight from my heart!!!

The canopied lanes beckoned me

And the pristine gothic cathedral gave an irresistible tug

The breeze that blew from tree to tree

Welcomed me with the most desired hug.

My heart beat faster and faster still

With every single footfall

And I kept clinging to the smallest prayer

That I should be able to take in all.

And when I finally found the faces

In whose hearts I wanted a place for me

I saw myself in a crowd

And felt, that’s where I could never be.

But as the days have flown by

And has brought me to the edge to leave

I look back to the day I walked in

And find no reasons to grieve.

I have found faces here

That have flashed so many smiles at me

And the biggest and warmest hearts

Where I can forever be.

(This poem is dedicated to all my friends in LIBA.. Hey all 112 of you, well excluding me... Thanks for the lovely two years in LIBA... Will miss you badly.)

Let's

Let's stop this race

And learn to walk together.

Let's learn to breathe and not get out of breath

As there is plenty for all of us

To satisfy our needs

But only scanty to meet our desires.

Let's learn to love

Not only with words but actions.

Let's live and let live in peace.

Hold on

I am drifting away

O’ Lord, I am drifting away

And I so want to hold onto You.

The worries of this world

I am unable to battle

And I am aching with the pain

Of being trapped and torn

I look up to Your strength

When in weakness I am drenched

I so want to hold onto You.

Where ever I look

There are trials and temptations

And all my ways lead to these

There is one way Jesus

That You alone can show

Hold my hand and lead me on.

I am being pulled and dragged

All because of my evil desires

And yet I so want to hold onto You

For you alone are my hope and escape

Help me Lord to keep holding onto You.

All over again

Every day, it’s just what I want to say

It’s never too late to begin,

To start all over again.

Like a bird

Trying to build a nest

When the old one’s broken down;

It’s time to give away your frown

Let go all the things that’s putting you down

It’s time to begin all over again.

Love is illiterate...

Someone wrote on the door of the heart


“Please, do not enter.””

Love came smiling and said,

“Sorry, I am illiterate.”

It entered into the most hardened of hearts

Smiled sweetly and said, “I love you”.

It was shouted down with a string of abuses

Yet it kept smiling and said,

“Wow, I never heard any of these before. But surely, it seems you love me so much.

I just used three words and you kept going on and on.”

Irritated and flushed red, the hardened heart managed a smile and said,

“It’s not love. I was abusing you.”

Love became excited and jumping up and down said something one could never imagine,

“So you are blushing now and smiling back and say it isn’t love.”

Fuming with rage, the hardened heart caught hold of love.

But before it could say anything, Love chirped in,

“O’ so now you are holding me and I know you’ll never let me go.”

My HOPE

I can hear the sound of music

Flowing from the sun like the rays

O’ its taking me back again

To the memories of happy, happy days.

We used to play till the sun went down

Beckoning us to get back home

And tumbling down from the trees we felt

How quickly the time had flown.

The redness of the twilight and the gleam of the even’ lights

Spoke to our eyes and made us walk

It reminded us of the promise of the daily bread and wine

And gave the hope to wait for the rooster’s hark.

Those were the days of smile and warmth

Friendly hugs and togetherness

I can hear the sound of music bring a hope

A light into this world that’s in a mess.

I hope this music of peace and love

Rolls over and over and makes a way

Melts the darkness that surrounds us now

Brings back the joy that’s gone away.
