WILL KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYER written by Sheldon Manoo 22-25/12/2020

I can't love you if there are things to hate

But I love you because of my Faith!

I said Yes to Jesus as Lord of my life

The Heart of Jesus will be my guide!

And I will keep you in prayer

Even though I cannot be there

I will keep you in prayer

I pray that my heart is sincere

I'll pray for you

To accept Jesus too

And follow through!

There are many uncertainties in this life

Truth has been clouded by mankind

No other saviour has made a blood sacrifice

And lived in humble subjection to pay the ultimate price!

For our sins!

(MUSIC)

When you know better

You got to show better

I cannot be that unbeliever

When I experienced such miracles

When you understand

You must teach others and

You may not have learnt all the answers

But the Spirit of Jesus is practical

And nothing we think we know

Was not written so long ago

The Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth

Has the answers to heal all hurt

But if you hear and don't pay heed

You'll never find what you need

And if the Word you try to twist it

The ultimate truth will resist it

For that Word walked as Flesh

Who man has then put to death

But that Death was the Lamb of Sacrifice

For Salvation and Grace to enter our lives

You might label me as Christian

There is no hope in Religion

Jesus Saves and to understand that

Walk along His worthy path

Rituals and customs are for discipline

For mental and physical conditioning

The spiritual aspect is filled with love

Not fickle favour but deep enough

To love the ones who would betray you

And the ones who'll come to slay you

Jesus is no lottery ticket

He owned no bed or chair to sit

Possessions are blessings for Jesus's cause

Nothing in this world will ever be mine or yours

We fool ourselves incandescently

To believe excessive wealth will erode our misery

Jesus is The King of all the kings

His Kingdom is beyond these earthly things

If His is not the knowledge and wisdom you seek

All you own just makes you weak

The only strength that is worth your time

The spiritual strength in Jesus you find

And it is not to late if you haven't found it yet

You can live in it but I pray you don't die in regret

So I will keep you in prayer

Even though I cannot be there

I will keep you in prayer

I pray that my heart is sincere

I'll pray for you

To accept Jesus too

And follow through!

Yes I will keep you in prayer

Even though I cannot be there

I will keep you in prayer

I pray that my heart is sincere

I'll pray for you

To accept Jesus too

And follow through!

We Have The Means written by Sheldon Manoo

Trouble and confusion and pain and war and uncertainty

Plunged into what seems to be an abyss of hopelessness

Murder by day by night by wrong by right by anybody

Turn off the news, points of views ignorance might be bliss

To believe there's happiness

But we do have the means to protect our soul

We may not be able to protect our world

But love is not entertainment value

Love is from the highest virtue

And this love is the means to free us

For this love was demonstrated by Jesus

The virus of fear mongering and false promises and prophecy

The mental strain on the vulnerable of every society

Natural human made disasters of control and manipulation

Inter religious wars even in our own congregation

There is a realization

That we have the means to end our uncertainty

We must believe that this can set us free

For those who believe in other things let them be

We're to love not to judge anybody

For this love is the means to redeem us

From this very tumoltuous existence

No it is not easy to love in this way

For there is heartbreak every minute of every day

Yeshua is not only a story written in religious texts

There are facts in other historical context

Not about race, a religion or geographic location

About a way, grace, redemption restoration

A truth beyond our most intelligible deciphering

We have the means to obliterate senseless suffering

If we use what we need and share the rest

Exterminate our greed and try our best

To create a community of reaping and sowing

Teaching what we're preaching while doing and mentoring

We have the means we have the guide

A unified spirit in our mind on our side

Paradise on earth that's treated just and kept clean

Each and every one of us, we have the means!

The Broken World by Sheldon SB Manoo (17/02/22)

And the lights went out for half a day

And millions of lives were affected in a way

Sorry is all the overseer will say

For with our livelihood is just a game they play

But we allow this injustice so ultimately the blame is on me

And me being every body

All who stood by during history

And said ok let us watch , wait and see

While foolish decisions were being planned

By leaders who never sought to understand

The environmental and impact of the people of the land

All the creatures that kiss the sky and bless the sand

We allow people to be uprooted from their home

To create wealth in another zone

Leaving vulnerable families all alone

Stealing their precious metals and stones

Stoning the brave who sought equity and equality

Making them martyrs for a song or story

Not as a way for others to be

For this is for entertainment purposes only

Tyrannical propaganda in audio visual art

Has tainted the mind and the heart

Love is as important as a fart

Cause from its origin we depart

And departure has become our mantra

Even from the Holy scriptures

We have molded the Word of our Creator

To suit our humanitarian agenda

Now there is internet and electronic wealth

Pharmaceutical and organic health

For one cure there is another pain felt

A pants with no loops to secure the belt

We waste time effort and money to explore existence in space

When we haven't explored the genius of the human race

Giving the deserving people the support and space

To make a significant sensible advancement in our place

God moves in mysterious and simple ways

That we have known for many days

But we collectively refuse to start the next phase

To live our purpose instead we stay dazed

For what shall we eat , wouldn't flesh make flesh weaker?

We will justify everything with philosophy and scripture

Negating what was our original nature

Or am I  my siblings keeper or killer?

When we look at the Earth's Savings bank

We have a huge deficit as our rank

Because the wealthy borrow to build a tank

That's too heavy so it sank

Leaving the poor to foot the bill

With income they are waiting to earn still

So like blue crabs in a barrel

They climb over each other so many get killed

That is the dilemma of a broken world

Humanity devalued their soul

Broke the bond that we should behold

Repeating atrocities of which we were told

If you do this then that will occur

But still many choose to prefer

The hope the world offer

And not the will of the world inventor

So to the ones who understand

That power cannot go out in this land

The Broken World is mended by the Hand.

The Spirit and the Sacrificial Lamb!

Say Alot of Prayers ( Say A Little Prayer For The Children by Oliver Chapman, additional lyrics by Sheldon Manoo)

The future is here

And we got to be aware

Pulled in so many directions

Of which we must stay clear

I was one of the children that you sang to pray for

Thought the world by now would be so secure

But the sad fact is that the song must be renewed

Cause all our little children need alot of prayers too 

What is gonna happen in a little while from now?

When our time has passed away and the world has turned around

Children now I see, wandering by the streets

Hunger and poverty, someone protect their destiny

Who's gonna be the one?

Who's gonna be around?

I know their times won't be sad!

Say a little prayer for the children

Say a little prayer for the young ones

Say a little prayer that they might grow

To see the world more beautiful

Say a little prayer each night and day

Say it before you pass away

So their hearts will be filled with joy, love and harmony

Like a melody of the legend Oliver

Meaningful words and the sweet vocal he delivers

It's great to know that we could spend the time

Doing this song of hope for future mankind

Because we want to see all little lights shine

Buh wha we observe really blow we mind

They roam the streets at night

They learn to steal and how to fight

Their tender hearts are filled with war

No love they'll find behind prison 's door

They got to be aware

In their minds there must be no fear

Go ahead you must be brave, ohh

Much more love to them you must give

Give them love. Give them hope

We got to say Alot of prayers

Don't give in to fears

Jesus wipe de tears

Give we soul repairs

Though is many years

We eh giving up on cares

As your return it nears

We open we soul ears

Say alot of prayers for the children

Say alot of prayers for the young ones

Say alot of prayers that they might grow

To see the world more beautiful

Say alot of prayers each night and day

Say it before you pass away

So their hearts will be filled with joy, love and harmony

And we will be in the presence of the Almighty! 

Healing written by Sheldon Manoo (04/03/22)

The apostle Mark talks about His healing

And just by the way some of us are feeling

And people that we know and love

We pray for answers from above

But sometimes we forget

Only God knows what's best

It's not about your faith

When we say God is great

And then get bitter

When we don't get the answer

That we fast and pray for

Remember God knows more

And healing

Is for eternity!

Somebody You Love, Respect, Admire written by Sheldon Manoo (02/02/22)

Even though the devil is a liar

Someone you love respect admire

Will very soon retire

Someone you honour and appreciate

Will reach expiration date

For that is the human fate

Well our lives are in the Hand of God

Though we might believe otherwise

There's so much we do to prolong it

If we obey there's a reward

God's not the author of lies

God gave the fruits of the spirit

It seems we're living in a time

Where death is disrespectful

We're cold and disgraceful

Existence is distasteful

We lost control of our mind

Bitterness projected

Smart solutions rejected

We seem unaffected

Though the hurt ravages our brain

This insanity feels so sane

Just pray don't complain

For no one is to blame

Even if there is a culprit

Knowing who won't help us

solve it

Cause if we refuse to accept the facts

Our redeemer we attack

Yet very soon 

Before another moon

Someone you care for so deep

Will fall into eternal sleep

You may wonder you may cry

You never lived until you die

I would want to say thank you and I love you

To everyone I ever knew

Could have been a minute or many years

I would like to say a prayer

Knowing God will hear

That all who are broken get repaired

I want to be wise and kind

Help change the hateful mind

To not let death keep you dying

I will receive any help

Advice for myself

As long as I have breath to keep trying

For I will be gone too

No matter what I do

I pray to leave a upright legacy

For those who wish to remember me

Remember these words I say

Jesus is the way

For you and everyone you respect love and admire

And remember the devil is a liar
