One Love
by Bob Marley

One love, one heart
Let's get together and feel all right
Hear the children crying (One love)
Hear the children crying (One heart)
Sayin', "Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right."
Sayin', "Let's get together and feel all right."
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One love)
There is one question I'd really love to ask (One heart)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own?
Believe me

One love, one heart
Let's get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (One love)
So shall it be in the end (One heart)
Alright, "Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right."
"Let's get together and feel all right."
One more thing

Let's get together to fight this Holy Armageddon (One love)
So when the Man comes there will be no, no doom (One song)
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner
There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation

Sayin', "One love, one heart
Let's get together and feel all right."
I'm pleading to mankind (One love)
Oh, Lord (One heart) Whoa.

"Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right."
Let's get together and feel all right.
(Repeat)

Jeremiah 15:19

Therefore this is what the LORD says:
"If you repent, I will restore you that you may serve me;
if you utter worthy, not worthless words, you will be my spokesman.


Heavenly Father,

Trees stand tall and firm and they do not speak a word,
Yet your beauty can be seen in them and your voice can be heard.

They live harmoniously in nature fulfilling their life's task,
They do not complain or grieve and in the sun they do bask.

They are exposed to the elements and in storms are blown about,
Some will fall and some will stand firm but nature has it's own way of working it out.

The tall strong trees shelter the smaller ones standing down below,
And they protect them from the elements as they do grow.

They do not see life as unfair or be selfish about what they must do,
They just keep reaching to the sky and year after year grow closer to you.

Please teach me to be as silent as the tree and stand firm in my life,
And not speak harsh words or have a loose tongue when there is strife.

Have me always shelter the young and teach them by being a living example of your ways,
So that when the storms come they will know how to handle themselves throughout their days.

Make my words worthy, meaningful and filled with your love,
And when I do speak may they be words sent to me from you,
on the wings of a white dove.

God Bless,

Proverbs 16:25

There is a way that seems right to a man,
but in the end it leads to death.


Heavenly Father,

We all like to believe that we are intelligent creatures and know what is best,
But when we reach a fork in the road that is when we are put to the test.

We have two choices at that stage, and it is this decision that will show,
Whether we are living by your guidance or by what we think we know.

One path will lead to you and our journey will be fulfilling and will soothe,
The other will show us our error in judgement which leads to darkness,
And how we need to seek you, repent and improve.

Going by our heads is using what we learnt, experienced and perceived,
Where as bringing you into our hearts and praying for guidance,
stops us from being deceived.

When I reach a fork in my path may I always drop to my knees,
And pray to you for guidance to walk your way,
and follow your Will, as you please.

May the forks in my path be few, and my choices always be wise,
That leads me to your heavenly doors and not to regret and my demise.

I pray I never rely on my own judgement but rather stay open and true unto you,
Where your ways are the wise ways, that guide me directly to you.

May the Commandments be my road map and the Bible and prayer be my guide,
So that I can keep moving forward in my spiritual growth, having Jesus by my side.

God Bless,

Hosea 14:9

Who is wise? He will realise these things.
Who is discerning? He will understand them.
The ways of the LORD are right;
the righteous walk in them,
but the rebellious stumble in them.


Heavenly Father,

To be wise is to have common sense and be prudent in our ways,
To be discerning is to have keen insight and be perceptive throughout our days.

Both bring about good judgement to guide us in our life,
And to be lacking in them is what gets us into all kinds of strife.

A closed mind brings nothing but what we already know,
Where as being open minded brings new insight and allows us to grow.

To be rebellious keeps us trapped in our own ways and we cannot learn,
And it is through being detached and observant that we learn to be wise and discern.

The wise and discerning understand that Jesus path leads directly to you,
And are willing to follow your ways with a loving heart
and do whatever they must do.

Please have me always be receptive and to adhere to your call,
And not get stuck in my head with a stubborn heart,
as this is when I shall stumble and fall.

I love you with all of my mind, heart and soul and it is you that I need,
I pray that I walk the righteous path where my spirit can grow and be free.

God Bless,

Psalm 106:13-14

But they soon forgot what he had done
and did not wait for his counsel.
In the desert they gave into their craving;
in the wasteland they put God to the test.

Heavenly Father

There are times in life that seem empty, barren & bare
& we disconnect from your love & we wonder are you really there.

Struggles abound & an end to our burdens seems fruitless & lost,
& we feel forsaken whilst living in woe when troubles we are being tossed.

Then when we have been pushed to our limits through survival mode human nature kicks in,
& this is where we are put to the test, will we live by Faith & Trust,
or revert to sin?

Our ways have never worked in the past so why would we think they would now,
& it was our ways that led us astray when we relied on ourselves & thought we knew how.

When we follow our own ways that is when we are putting you to the test,
Where as holding firm to your ways, brings salvation & we know we are blessed.

It is always darkest just before the dawn & that is when the sun breaks through,
So to our burdens in our darkest moments, through Faith & Prayer we should reach out to you.

You have never once forsaken us throughout our earthly days,
All you ask is for us to let you have control so you can work your ways.

I pray that I always surrender my Will & hold firm to my faith in you,
& trust that you are there watching over me & guiding me,
until the sun breaks through.

God Bless

Isaiah 46:8-9

"Remember this, fix it in mind,
take it to heart, you rebels.
Remember the former things, those of long ago;
I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like me.


Heavenly Father,

To learn your ways on a mental level brings us knowledge that we have read,
But when strife comes the knowledge will leave us as our emotions are being fed.

That is when we forget about you as no longer your Words are being heard,
And we react to our environment and our behaviour becomes quite absurd.

We rebel against your ways because suddenly we think we know best,
And through our actions and intolerance we find no peace or rest.

Taking what we learn from our mind to our hearts teaches us to understand your ways,
And through practise it becomes part of our character throughout our earthly days.

To read the Bible is one thing, but to live by it is another,
And the difference can be seen in how we treat our sisters and brothers.

When someone has taken your words to heart, in burdens peace can be found,
And heavenly solutions to our trials are always sought after and all around.

The Bibles lessons guide us as to what to do and our actions show if we have understood,
Because no matter what challenge we face, our character should be good.

I pray that whatever I learn through my mind I take to heart,
And always live by your ways and through strife we never do part.

God Bless,
Gina
