  • Let the Light guide us toward the road of happiness, where there shan’t be sorrow, pain neither darkness

    Don’t let us bear all life’s hard pain,  working only for a passing World in vain

    Neglecting to work also for the eternal life reward, just going on without knowledge marching forward

    Without God faith nothing in the World can stand, that is the true knowledge one have to understand

    As anything asked with faith and prayer, shall always be granted to everyone believer

    For everyone that follows the guiding Light, Will enjoy a life blessed and bright

    If everyone could live  having care for one another, Regardless being a relative, a friend or a stranger

    Life on earth would be like wise a Paradise, Every being happy blessing each dawn sunrise……………..

    Let us walk the highway to Paradise,   so beautiful with the sunrise

    Listen the birds in their chorus sing,    praising the Heavenly King

    Let us together give our laudes to the Lord, with our heartily Thanksgiving words

    For the wonderful world His Creation,   that feel’s all hearts with admiration

    Watch the sunrise and beautiful sun set, The Master Hand work so perfect

    Watch the moonlight  and shining star, that takes the dreamer  journeying afar

    Listen the wind blowing over trees,  that has to tell so many stories

    Enjoy the awakening of Spring, the green meadows the sun shining

    Enjoy on sandy beach the Summer,    swimming in the blue refreshing water

    Enjoy white Winter the joy of children,  as well of every man and women

    And for that all let us thank the Lord of the Lord’s, with songs of the Psalmist holy words………………….

  • I am singing through out the night         Waiting for the morning twilight

    Trying to forget yesterday sorrow           Hoping for a better morrow

    Wandering on the river sand           Searching God from land to land

    found Him on the mountain              The Holy  Mountain of Gueschen

    That was the first step beginning                Of the hermit life living

    A life of only prayer and fasting       Every day and night listening

    The Priests and monks Holy singing         On the long nights watching

    That was the real happiness        If it could have been endless

  • 1974

    I have lost Jesus and my way, I was looking for Him night and day

    Hoping that my calling won’t be in vain, for His mercy and blessing again

    I was wandering from land to land, walking on the river beach sand

    Feeling lost and helpless, the heart full of sadness

    I have lost Jesus and my way I was looking for Him night and day

    Hoping that my calling won’t be in vain, for His mercy and blessing again

    I was sitting surrounded by darkness, the heart and mind hopeless

    Suddenly shined a light, chasing away the darkness of the night

    I have found Jesus and my way, I was  looking for Him night and day 

    Trusting that my call won’t be in vain, for His mercy and blessing again.

    I have found Jesus and my way, I was looking for Him night and day

    Trusting that my call won’t be in vain, for His mercy and blessing again..

  • Give me the wings of a dove to fly, on the beautiful serene blue sky

    To journey on the moving white clouds, to enjoy on the air the amazing music sounds. 

    Praise the Lord

    Praise the Lord  

    Praise the Lord with me

    For His kindness is for the whole world as well for thee

    Let me sing with the birds every morning, as well as always every evening

    To thank and praise the Lord so merciful, for His generosity is always full

    Praise the Lord 

    Praise the Lord  

    Praise the Lord with me

    For His kindness is for the whole world as well as for thee.

  • My wonderful world is Jesus Christ, the everlasting shining golden light

    Since I am following the holy bible words, I am the happiest servant of the Kings of the Kings and the Lord of the Lords

    To express my gratitude I can’t find any word, I can’t find any word. Let my lips be worthy to praise you Oh Lord

    Let ever beat of my heart be a praise to thy glorious name Eternal God yesterday, today ever and ever the same, ever and ever the same.

    Praise the Lord oh my soul, praise the Lord oh my soul for He is my God and my all.

    Being solitaire even living among people,

    Sitting in my room I feel as being in a temple.

    Being granted a perfect peace of mind,

    That in the worldly life can not be found.

    My heart is over whelmed with gratitude for God’s blessing 

    In every day life blessing and everything.

    You know that I am telling the truth Oh Lord,

    As you are my only happiness in this world. 

    What can man ever do or give to his Creator

    As everything and gifs comes from Him and no other.

    More than the bright day I love the silent night, 

    That brings the heart and soul to the Lord’s insight.

    The room filled with a peace giving spirit,

    Invites one to chant the psalms of the Psalmist.

    At early dawn all churches bells are ringing.

    Nature awakes with the birds singing.

    The blessing and love fell up the heart of all faithful,

    Who by the blood of Jesus Christ has become sinful.

    Let the world praise the Father of the fatherless, 

    the home of orphans and the homeless.

    Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, praise the Lord oh my soul.

    For He is my God and my all.  

  • Even far from you know my longing             Dear Meskou flower of Spring

    You are always present in my heart Sharing with you all kind of hurt

    My poor heart was broken   Hearing you bear a heavy burden

    But I hope to see you a day       Even being from you far away

    Do you Meskou remember my song To never forget me on the long

    Know that if the Spirit is alive      With God we can survive

    Home sweet Home in Mother Land              Beautiful ever green Land

    Where cattle pasture in band              And children are walking hand in hand

    Refrain:  Home sweet Home  etc…

    Beautiful land of sunshine            Mother Ethiopia Country that is mine

    Cradle of song and poem            Symbol of life and freedom

    Refrain.

    Spring time yellow flowers                 Cover all the meadows

    Under the golden sunlight           The full air scent is a delight

    Refrain/

    The trees on the mountains          Looks like faithful guardians

    They spread their cooling shadows       Inviting to rest on the meadows

    Refrain.

    The water falls of the blue Nile      Journey afar from mile to mile

    Historic Nile that so many people long       To see and listen its beautiful song

    Refrain.

    For a time being man goes his way            Far from Home to live and stay

    When night’s coming, time to sleep and lay       One miss his Home, when far away

    Refrain.

    Beautiful Land of sunshine           Mother Ethiopia country that is mine

    Cradle of song and poem             Symbol of life and freedom………………….

  • We should know that we have nothing of our own

    As every gift given us is well known

    Comes from the Holy Spirit of Our Lord

    The divine shining Light Jesus: The Word

    Merciful Father of the fatherless

    Divine Provider of the Homeless

    Who never forsake the erring one

    That has no Home, no friends no one

    His Infinite love for His Creation

    Reveals itself in so many different kind of action

    If we could listen and follow His Call

    We would never be cast down to fall……..

    Learning and studying is an endless theme

    As nature secrets likewise are the same

    The solitaire every day finds something new

    To learn about matter he didn’t knew

    If people could have the precious time to reflect

    I know that it would make so many kind of effect…………

  • In my hour of grief and pain               Let me see Thy Face again

    On my pilgrim weary way…………The days are dark and grey

    And hope by and by            Fade away…….

    Heavenly Father, I beseech Thee chase the night             Be ever near me, let shine Thy Light

    Think of the erring one    Without a home and no one

    During winter cold night              Without food and light

    Think of the erring one     Without a home and no one………….

  • Lonely heart that is dreaming day and night, how can you get on like that without any light 

    Anybody that is living among many people, should start to make life easier and simple

    Anybody that follows the path of the Holy Bible Word, Praises God that has given us such a wonderful World

    Only the Lord Jesus Christ is the true way and light, that make anybody life happy and bright

    If we keep peace and love in our heart, We shall be protected from any hurt

    Chase far away from your mind loneliness, thanking Our Lord for His merciful kindness

    Who always give us beyond our request and prayer, Being Our Heavenly Father and Redeemer

    Let us walk guided by The Lord Holy Word, so that Peace and Love might reign on the whole World.  

    Let us all join in fervent prayers for lasting Peace, so that dreadful war, hatred weeping might cease, the silent pen keep you company,  As her style is another kind of Symphony

    Slowly the blank paper become’s full, with words that somehow can be helpful

    All human hearts get a strange kind connections, even man comes from so many diverse nations

    Sometimes loneliness is a great Master, giving time to reflect on all life matter

    Life is in the Hand of the Almighty Lord,   

    it can be wonderful when one follows His Word

    In time of troubles music is the best friend
