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

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
