Have Hope

Verse 1

Hope can you feel, it’s kinda stipulated

Hope when its real, I’m feeling elevated, kinda animated, duly inundated

Come and turn around, now it’s time that we really made it

Faith is the key, towards the manifested

Hope and believe, in times we’re really tested

I’m eager interested, a power that is vested

Come and follow me to places that we’ve never rested



Chorus

Time and time and time we’ve got to have hope – yeah

Bring it back to life and it’s got to have scope – ooh yeah

Come and fill my heart with joy and laughter, laughter

Come and fill the sky with praise – oh yeah

Pour into me, a fill of motivation

Come let us hear, a calling generation, a rosy illustration, no upper limit

Come and let me show you what it means to have a celebration

Come dance with me, it’s really necessary

We’re cheerful bright and merry, we’re always ever ready

Come strike a deal and let us bring the extraordinary



Chorus



Bridge (x4)

Oh we’ve got to have hope yeah

Come bring me that hope yeah

Beyond the rooftops

Above the clouds and skies

To the highest mountain

So be lifted high



In the midst of storms

In uncertain days

In times of gladness

So I give you praise



With an awesome cheer

You’re my guide and ruler

I will dance with joy

Singing hallelujah



With a joyful step

We shall not retreat

Dance of victory

You have won defeat



Resounding praises

Oh my Lord you reign

Instrumental song

Power in the name

Aaran: Let sleeping lilies lie, come what may
Each season has its time
In a field of gold blossoming, promises of spring
Of quality delights, yet but one is mine
Selected at their prime
Time is of such essence, render my heart s-t-i-l-l
Enamoured by this quest
O’er craggy hills, set on high
A myriad of mountains, piercing the sky
Through valleys of low, sifting through the land
A humble search within, of untold promises
Of whom is it I seek?
With the choicest picks of many
A fresh vineyard of plenty
Of room for such bold gallantry

Pearl: If nature tells a tale, is it such truth that I will seek
Of incomparable promises, adoration from above
A sacred lavished love, freely unconditional
Let righteousness prevail
A redirected ship sets sail
To steer towards his ways
Lest I avert love’s true course
A freewill field of freedom
With the choicest picks of many
A fresh vineyard of plenty
Yet a tarnished trail, leads to solemn ruin

Aaran: With renewed clarity, I’ll endeavour to please
Yet only one can appease, unwholesome ways
Bless my earnest days
In seeking you
Of desiring truth
Draw me back to you
Present wonders and clues
Yet of whom could fathom
Of my own understanding
Dare I leaneth not
To acknowledge truly the king of kings
Yet will my offering be pleasing to thee?
With a patchwork of progress
Yet to digress!
Misguided in the mix
Would thou now fix
To so fill a void
Of actions mistimed
Such an opportune time
Yet in this vineyard of plenty
I have selected not

Pearl: With vivid retrospection, beyond a quick glance
To recapture redirection
Choices not to my betterment
Such steps lead to a
F
A
L
L
A calling forth to consciousness
A gentle quiet voice
To hasten towards unfolding arms
Re-establish the connection
My Sovereign protection
My keeper, my guide
Of unharnessed energy
Be rechannelled set me free
No longer captive, twas lost – now found
Now replanted on solid ground
Such land is lush, fertile for growth
The gift of grace, bestowed on me
Yet interlaced with love for me
Search my heart
Explore the depths of my soul
Of a contrite spirit, a new heart in me
A catalyst for change, rearrange my compartments
Renovate from within
With purposeful living
Let it be so declared
Replanted in the vineyard
Encircled in care

Aaran: Where is my equal, of mirrored completeness?
Rare unwinding roads, let me venture to find
With cascades of choice
Yet a still small voice
Calls me back to thee
To search so diligently
Of the selection
Beyond our protection
A compromised yield – from a field of choice
Of qualities unqualified
A diminished light
Yet captured in your sight
I could run ahead, but a thousand miles
With aims to hide
Strayed from the path
Yet you would find me!
Like whispering leaves – you follow me!
I am your child
“Draw back to me”
Such energy spent
A tent of retreat

Pearl: If I am yours and you are mine
Here engrafted into the vine
With offers of replenishment
Drawn towards a living well
In essence to thirst, for a fragrant spring
From the wilderness, lest I return
With all that I yearn
I give to you!
There are no secrets hidden from view
You know my thoughts
You know my ways
You have carried me through all of my days
Sunlit rays of hope shines through
A maker of all things new
Apart from you – bereft of truth
Of magnitude
In wondrous awe of all you do
I surrender all to you



Aaran: Let their be none of me, but all of you
Without your workmanship – I build in vain
No substance of change
Effort exhaustion
To bear no truth
Outside of your will, no perfection of peace
Fruitful production will cease
Of majestic wonders, your sovereignty reigns
Your craftsmanship unparalleled
Emboldened tower of excellence
Such is your wisdom, of invested time
Creations of the divine
On the heights of love
Exceedingly above
All created things
Exhibited signs of majesty
Concerning me, you tend to my case
Casting all of my cares
Of honourable justice
Cocooned in compassion
Love unending
Continually the same
You reign on high
There is power in the name

Pearl: Soulfully renewed, with a sound mind
Confine the spirit of fear
Wash me with blessedness assured
Cloth me with sacred strength
Direct thy paths
Of intrinsic value placed in me
Keep me hidden and close to thee
Blossomed fruits of maturity
As a living vessel
Radiate your royalty
Of such a season as this
Rested beneath your wings
Guard my heart
A time of preparation
Be formed and refined
Yielded to the master’s plan
I shall seek your face
Of sovereign splendour
A veil of grace
In the midst of your shadow
For your appointed to find
Of your perfect timing
Of your perfect will
A laid foundation
A covering of silk
A precious pearl
A virtuous call
Of standards to surpass
With favour from high

Aaran: Instil in me, due diligence
To plough the field in solitude
Exuding excellence
In the accomplishment of a purposed will
Restorative rest
From tests and trials
Of requisite skills and character
Create room for special providence
A shadow of insight
Of your wondrous works
Let the vine be preserved
In season, to make the acquaintance of
A significant love
Of help to protect thee
Righteously reserved
To enlighten thee
A time of revealing
At a distance awaits
Preservation of patience
In your image created
Promises belated outside of your will
Of futile attempts to evade your plan
For I am not my own
There is help in you alone
Presented cares at your throne
In your presence may I stay

Pearl: One cannot underestimate motives established
In opposition to
For outsiders of the recognition
Of my true valuation
Let them locate me not
With casted lots they can but ill afford
You know my worth
You have me preserved
In safe keeping
Until an appointed time
True justice is thine
Let your kingdom advance
Counterfeit collectors
Of no business in here
Adorn me with your covering
Glory be to you
With humility and honour
To seek your truth
There is none like you
Blessed be the temple
I have been redeemed
For he is my keeper
Let me return to thee
A prized and treasured purchase
Such gems are rare
As a living sacrifice
Be pleasing to thee
Honour you in worship
With mindfulness take heed

Aaran: There is a ruler in the land
Of covenants and commands
A mighty love
With jealousy, of mercies that endure
He reigns forever more
Of the future and before
Of granted seasons
In spirit to discern
Of faithful steps where I am tested
To stretch established trust
“Will you walk with me, to a place that you know not”
With former ways forgot
A courageous look ahead
In spirit and in truth
Let me follow you
Every facet of my being
Awesome depths of knowledge, wisdom and understanding
Of paths to pursue
On ahead we shall go

Pearl: Do they possess your righteousness?
Were they sent in your name?
They have not your likeness
Conflicting with your plan
They bring no completeness
Disharmony abounds
With such fruitless planting
Upon rocky ground
Yokes of inequality to establish not
Presenting common gifts to exclusivity
Of access unauthorised
Of acts to displease
Claims of validation
Such will be disproved
Of a different team they are
Of their travels from afar
Of which of these can be after your own heart?
To see beyond the shell
Where favour cannot reside
Cast away their pride
Return from whence you came
Patience is a virtue
Let my life exemplify
With your gardening of reason
Of true love amplified

Aaran: To trust in your timing
Let your ways become my ways
Recharge my focus
The potter moulds the clay
A rebirth of integrity
A calling forth to lead
Of due responsibility
Opportunities embraced
So I shall arise
Evolving ever wise
Symbolising service
Blessed to be a blessing
Gracefully equipped
Faithfully serving
With reverence so aligned
Of seasons placed on time
Of suitable design
A man of the divine
A vessel of virtue
A good thing I will find

Pearl: An objective of order
Contemplating eyes
For whatsoever you find, that is unlike you
Be extracted, be removed
Reestablishment be loosed
One appointed master
Of obedience to you
Old ways be overturned
Of varied lessons learnt
Refurbish and restore
Bring your authority
Be the head about the door
Brought beyond brokenness
Restorer of joyfulness
Complement contentedness
Companion incomparable
Character in confidence
That of transformation
Faith in the intangible
Supernaturally sure
Intentional living
All of which I strive
No desire to arrive
Countering complacency
His bold divinity, will enhance my days
Divine provider of wealth
Of spiritual health
He stands in the gap
A bringer of true balance
His care is unabridged

Aaran: At such an appointed time
A climate of change
I will recognise my dearest
With opened eyes
Like the dawn of sunrise
I will be drawn to thee
Of natural beauty
He will spiritually advise
To have found the one
In accordance with your blueprint
Of events orchestrated
Of joyfulness elated
How precious is thee!
Seemingly hidden from view
With devotion to development
That our paths would cross
To begin our journey
In one accord
Of such blessings to afford
To one day so stand before
Our maker
Declarations of love and commitment to thee
Of such a blessed vision
One day realised
For until such a time
Let me wait upon the Lord
To seek first his righteousness
Before our holy covenant
I shall wait on thee

Pearl: As events unfold
Let all that you touch upon turn into gold
With wonders of mystery
Bold miraculous signs
Nature’s seasons ever changing
Truly divine
With no division of time
Of cares undivided
Due attention to you
Reveal to me your truths
As I soulfully meditate upon your daily word
Lest I depart from righteous ways
Lead me all of my days
May I cling to you
Love’s loyal devotion
Blissfully lost in your word
You guide me as light
By day and by night
Enlightened watchtower of constancy
Exalt you in your sanctuary
For you have created a work in me
For your word shall not return to you void
In you I shall prosper
Accomplish I will
Of promises spoken
Shall come to pass
Let your divine order take precedence
Let my cup runneth over
Bring wholesomeness
Your blessed investment concerning me
Left not alone
You called me as your own
Selectively sought and set apart
To kneel before you with humility
Your goodness washing over me
How much greater can this be?

Aaran: A creator above all
You catch me when I fall
Of whom could match the wondrous treasure I have found in you
The sacred gift of your beloved son
For my salvation
With victory already won
In fellowship with you
So to feast upon the bread of heaven
My daily fill
You are my strength and you are my shield
A fortified fortress that stands on high
There is none like you
No tower could be built, that could surpass you
Of whom could reach you with earthly hands
Or overrule your divine plans
To fathom the works of your mighty hands
Truly appointed before my formation
You laid the foundations
Of which to create
Blessedly ordained
For your holy purpose
Qualified
I will embrace
Thou art is divine......

The dreams that come alive
When darkness comes to light
Setting my heart free
Illuminate me

The yearning, for harmony
Of greatness, so endless

To truly love again, just imagine
Imagine if you could touch the sky and climb a wall like ten feet high
To open your heart, just imagine
Ooh just imagine, ooh just imagine

Imagine if you could unify, a broken past, bitten twice shy
To be vulnerable, just imagine
Imagine if you could crumble down, the walls created to surround
To remove the guards, just imagine
Ooh just imagine, ooh just imagine

A new perspective there to take, an unbound dream to re-awake
My script of all revisions new
Persistent continuity, facing all uncertainty
A bright scene, a refreshing view
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh

Imagine if you could wind the clocks, identify the stumbling blocks
To re-establish with clarity
Imagine a journey not the same, an open trust right there to gain
To receive new opportunity
Ooh now I see
Ooh I believe in me

Intro

When there’s nothing to lose, but everything to gain

A journey moving forward, never the same again

To look beyond the shadows, towards a ray of light

Just embrace the midnight, the stars come out at night



Verse 1

There’s nothing to prove, follow authenticity

Surrender the complex, focus with simplicity

Keep that flame burning, resplendence of desire

There’s no better time, to keep on aiming higher



Chorus

A mighty momentous move, just stay in your lane

Be that inspiration, that incandescent flame

A call for boldness, times will ever test

Called and chosen, give your very best



Verse 2

A subtle reaction, rise against the fall

The true satisfaction, the giving of your all

Advancing in harmony, this moment truly yours

An opportune time, the opening of doors



Chorus



Bridge

No substance lost, endeavour to try

Seize every moment, remember the why

Towards the exceptional, no middle road

Be unforgettable, let victory unfold

Varied species of the kingdom

Across our earthly home

From sponges to the octopus

Without a backbone



Laying small eggs

Or a centimetre long

Astounding invertebrates

There outer skin is strong



Upon an organism

There they choose to lay

Eggs for a food source

Paralyse their prey



As the insect grows

So rapidly within

A time of which to moult

Remove their outer skin



The expanding colony

Survival of the team

Young bees evolving

From a single queen



Shed their exoskeleton

Insect crawling out

Expansion of their wings

Body drying out



Beginning as larvae

From the eggs they hatch

Dramatic transformation

Metamorphosis match



Written by Geraldine Taylor ©

Life will test, challenges arise

Look beyond the shore

Eye on the prize, to they that are wise

Be not hidden in your eyes

In your presence be still

A void that only God can fill

Drawn ever closer, whether near or far

Be my desire

A flow of wants, pre-listed needs

The flesh that feeds, to which I plead

Holy Spirit intercede – divinely lead

Let your rivers overflow

In the streams of life

Whether wrong or right, by day, by night

In darkness or light

Let me be precious in your sight



Written by Geraldine Taylor ©

Faithful promise, it’s already done

Our battle is over, he’s already won



Kingdom greatness, resides within

Our provider, out trust in him



In your presence, soul set free

The true source of security



Surrounding light, always near

Casting darkness, doubt and fear



That of future, in your hands

Alignment with your divine plans



Outstretched arms, I can confess

Attentive father there to bless



Angels sent at your command

Miracles yet to understand



Embedded in your destiny

To him who saw the best in me

Verse 1
As we proclaim to the king, ever sounding nations sing
Of wisdom inspiring, faithful in his promising
Of such love that stands unchanged, embrace the power in the name
Of such honour and majesty, he has come to set us up free

Chorus X2
I will seek your face (come and testify)
I will seek your face
Come and take your place
I will seek your face

Of miracles throughout the land and so revere his mighty hand
His only son that he did raise, for he is worthy of my praise
Standing by his covenant, exultation heaven sent
The father of our salvation, for in him the victory is won

Chorus X2

Bridge X2
We shall rejoice
Proclaiming all his greatness, I will hear his voice
The earth will sing
With worship and with trembling
Give praises to the king
Give praises to the king

As potential grew, a desire to write, disclosed to few

Imagination immerse, but yet to thirst for knowledge, accrued ambition address

All aboard the express, thoughts of Harry, a plot to marry

From fanciful flights to greater heights

Capturing such visualisation, twas the formation

Characterisation, of wings to soar, with metaphor

From Dumbledore, yet taking shape

Professor Snape, assume the plot, lest thoughts forgot

A forest to roam, a philosophical stone

Such creative flair of which to share

Joining of the dotted line, artistic mind

Transporting train, journeyed acclaim

Of whom to impede, the will to succeed

The ability to write, the capacity to teach, the desire to reach

An impetus for change, a literary role, a priority

Of which to seek with tenacity

Beyond horizons, beyond confines, stand undefined

Awe-inspire, great readership, a due reply

To simplify, a noble shift, outstanding writer in the midst

Dynamic plot from pen to page, persistence through to published stage

A realised dream, challenge overcome

A victory won definably, stocked supplies to library

Broomstick flight phenomenon, a mystical tale was to become

Would generate, the bus of Knight, to render right

A rebuilt life, a legacy made

From chosen craft to final draft, a world of creativity

The right to type, to innovate, an intriguing wait

A shining star that would liberate



Written by Geraldine Taylor ©

A sole preacher of the wilderness

To thus attest, the Lord’s word

Of numbers great, from lands afar

Would flock to him

To the river Jordan with baptizing

A righteous man, John the Baptist

Of whom would practice, righteous ways

To tell the people, flee from sin

To warn them of a coming king

A worthy man, much greater than him

Yet Pharisees and Sadducees could not appease

Nor make-believe, of apparent good

For turn away from solemn sin

Of God’s kingdom, enter in

Simply clad of camel’s hair, simple food, home of bare

From Nazareth, so Jesus came

To be baptized, God’s holy plan

Yet worthy not, to unfasten his shoes

Open heavens, spirit of God

A symbol of, the coming King



Written by Geraldine Taylor ©

Only those who know will understand

How I’m encapsulated by your command

How you brighten my day

With every thoughtful ray

That joy that wondrous joy



Only those who understand will ever feel

The essence of your heart not one could steal

How you turn the sky so blue

How you make my thoughts anew

That joy that wondrous joy



Only those who feel will embrace

Your footprints left without a trace

How your warm delight

Fathoms more than might

That joy that wondrous joy



Only those who embrace will truly care

Whether coming or going, you’re always there

How you render me still

Only your love could fill

That joy that wondrous joy



Written by Geraldine Taylor ©

In angelic voice, enthral, rejoice

Of peace be s-t-i-l-l, for one fine day

A garden of dreams, over the rainbow, a daydream behold

In a graceful realm, of grace to amaze, a dawn of promising rays

Blissful skies, sunlight arise, a peaceful picture

Soul silhouette, lest we forget, royal remembrance

Together we stand, to thee, across the land

A musical language, all-embracing, casted carousel

Performance premier, shining sensational, inspirational

Hail – music of the night, dance with the stars

Tap and glide, a guiding star, something in the way……….

Just as you are

Journeying jewel, revel, jubilee

A walk through autumn leaves, in timeless reverie

Sounding soprano, crowds resonate, of joyfulness elate

Gracefulness of elegance, a time of prime

A gift given, of noble distinction

A symphony of sophistication

Due adulation, due applause, with charitable cause

Exceptional tours, over a great and mighty distance

Of services rendered, a splendour of release

Flowering duet, a radiant bloom, of times unknowing

We’ll meet again – soon



Written by Geraldine Taylor ©

It takes might to climb the wall
So let your covering, your covering fall
The vision is revealed, the conquest is in sight
So let us return by twilight

From minute settlements, to towns of trade

Yet without warning, a sudden raid

A venture into foreign lands

The walls and gates of Viking hands



To labour on, as understood

Homes we build, prepare thy wood

Address the strength of near rooftops

For there beneath lay our workshops



Commence the plan, we have devised

Perfect thy craft and specialize

Protect the home, o’ dearest wives

We venture out, to honour lives



I make thy comb, you make thy shoe

With silver weighed, we shall accrue

Of buried towns, forgotten fence

The archaeological evidence



Of generations when time began

Young boy o’ ten, become a man

We send you on, to grasp thy trade

The substance of which life is made



Trade thy *** and wooden chest

Wives will loom and keep the nest

Our homes rest on thy trodden earth

Stones surround thy warming hearth



I write, I read, a leader’s state

O carved letters educate

We shall not settle for any less

Protection called, our high goddess



Written by Geraldine Taylor ©

Let there be joy, let there be gladness

There in your presence, sanctified peace

Thoughts made anew, constant renewal

Adorned with truth, kingdom release



Bringer of light, depth in your word

Lamp to my feet, forever my guide

Dearest companion, draw ever near

There through my journey, you by my side



Patient and kind, ever so dearest

Quiet still voice, humbled to hear

Astounding joy, the fullness thereof

When trials come, I shall not fear



Standing in awe, honour and glory

Our understanding, ever transcend

Not one of us, ever could fathom

Heights of your greatness, spirit ascend



Promise to us, lasting eternal

Straighten thy path and rectify

Father above, ever so giving

Your holy name, lifted on high



Written by Geraldine Taylor ©

Verse 1

Initiated, when there’s a choice to truly take it

In order to be liberated, gain true identity

When there’s a low road, a higher path is taken solo

It doesn’t matter even how slow, true living is free



Chorus

No matter the forces I see, the invisible right before me

Keep moving and gliding swiftly, liberated, it’s time to be free

All genuine none to conceal, just chasing the joy that I feel

Authentic with goodness is real, liberated, truly liberated



Verse 2

Unrelenting, a core desire with no ending

Distractions don’t require tending, so undeservedly

Uncomplicated, could be as simple as I make it

A dream pursued, even belated, there’s possibility



Chorus



Verse 3

Footsteps, yes I gotta find my own quest

The only way to give my true best, originate and shine

To awaken, to be myself yet unmistaken

All the others they are taken, the opportunity is mine



Chorus

Fertilisation, to life’s first cry

The organisms we classify

From offspring birth, to growing seed

Consuming nature of which to feed



The right conditions to survive

Escape of danger, aim to thrive

Animals will locate their mate

Offspring growth of varied rate



Reproductive group divide

From egg-laying to bearing live

Seeds and eggs adapted for

Protection and a nutrient store



The formation of the embryo

Increasing cells divide and grow

A vital role, to be aware

Growth, development and repair



Genetics differ and they range

The young mature, their features change

To die, cells cease to multiply

To rot – bacteria and fungi



Of varied plants, in turn they sway

From parent plants, to land away

Nutrients pass there to remain

Recycled in this vast food chain



Written by Geraldine Taylor ©

From the city of Sychar, a stone throw away

Stood a welcomed wayside well

Jesus and disciples, took thy rest

A journey of news to tell



Disciples went on, to pay for foods

For then a woman came by

A Samaritan, a glazing glance

Still water to draw up high



The Messiah’s request astonishing

A drink to ask of her

Yet the water he would give

A living thirst quencher



Of water not drawn from the well

To cleanse the sins of men

Salvation gift, given for free

To never be thirsty again



Written by Geraldine Taylor ©

Verse 1

Two souls complete, let us retreat, to a place where our visions can meet

Captured to stare, none can compare, with true love and war becoming fair

When forces are real, transcending appeal

When there’s no other love I can feel

With time unaware, casting my care

Incomparable romance is there



Chorus

Love reciprocal, that’s intangible

Let us conquer and do the impossible

There’s no part of me, that could ever see

Another true soul claiming our clarity

Just you and me, just you and me

Oh oh oh, just you and me



Verse 2

One cannot describe, how to arrive

To a land where our treasure will thrive

Crossing the verge, beginnings emerge

There’s no other place that I could search

When forces are real, transcending appeal

When there’s no other love I can feel

With time unaware, casting my care

Incomparable romance is there



Bridge (x2)

Let’s do the impossible, embrace love reciprocal

Inscribe the inscribable, let’s do this, let’s do this, inseparable

Verse 1
If there’s a time, if there’s a place, for you I’d truly wait
Our love endures from page to page
To mesmerise, to synchronise and so epitomise
Steps of harmony throughout the age

Chorus
A bright horizon, such a blissful scene
An awesome treasure, held in high esteem
Joining forces, solid as a team
You are, you are
Love’s unfolding dream

Verse 2
To visualize, to recognise, true love that defies
Soaring high beyond the skies
A seasoned fall, to give my all, delightfully enthrall
A beloved dream now realised

Love’s unfolding, love’s unfolding dream
Love’s unfolding, love’s unfolding dream

Verse 1
Of heights we have to soar, with the one that I adore
Together dynamically, a true magnetic force
The faith of which to grow, for goodness will follow
Tested through the trials, faith of purest gold

Chorus
Love will find a way, love will find a way
Oh oh oh, find a way
Through every obstacle, we’ll withstand the storms
With all perseverance, we will face it all

Verse 2
The forest may be dense, of days with all suspense
We shall overcome, it has no permanence
Each day is not the same, of lessons there to gain
We’ll endure the course, we’re dancing in the rain

Chorus

Bridge
Let magnificence arise
For there is a greater prize
As we both unveil our eyes
There are blessings in disguise

Chorus

Written by Geraldine Taylor ©️

Early stages of nurture, nature commence

Embracing their vulnerability

The warmth of parental care

Expansion and development

Protection from within

Safety of the ******, comfort living

Nutritional supply through the umbilical cord

Where life has begun

There are herbivores ready to run

Gestures of giraffes

Leaping deer

We can but revere

Kangaroo offspring, resting pouch

The young will latch

Preparation for a time beyond

Bonding baboons, close knit group

Enveloped in parental care

Weaned through time, skills combine

Destined to change made to adapt

Camouflaged cheetah cubs

Lion’s thick mane

No longer the same

Daring displays of dominant males

Attainment of adulthood, meet lioness

Echoes of elephants, trumpeting trunks

Whistling whales, swim in song

Advancement in accord, accrued stage

Ripened age

An honourable life, taken to the max
Championed feats, of no small measure
A nation can treasure

The shaping of an era – equality
Realization of rights, project legacy
Impacting a wider communityRaise the bar, unsettled below
Challenging the status quo
Battles fought
With justice sought
Of leadership, seeking to serve
When forces merge
Mark the campaign
The present cannot remain the same
Confinement release
Establishing peace
Break the borders
Let indifference cease
A fight for freedom, oh justice prevail
Of strategic systems – show society
With due propriety
Of political accountability

Accrued insight
Of human rights
To lobby, to lead
With fairness proceed
Catalyst creation, positive change
Expansion of range

Of non discrimination
Heroic determination
A valuable service to the vulnerable
Outreach outstanding, by example lead
Contributed equation
To influence a nation

Of historical significance
Sheerly profound
With relevant reverence
A shining light of difference

Verse 1
There is no distance to travel, to cause a divide, between us
There is no towering mountain that we cannot climb to build trust
Of moments in time, of which are passing away
Yet all the love I possess, grows day after day, yeah

Chorus
Let’s sail away, by the moonlight
Let’s find a way, for us to realise
That we’ll never arrive, we’ll never arrive
So continue to strive, continue to strive
The water will flow, the water will flow
And our love will grow, and our love will grow
Forever and ever and ever and ever

Verse 2
An awesome appearance, impressions that mesmerise
Stood by the river of love, the glance in your eyes
Gratitude given, the presence of living is here
A smooth navigation, a near constellation revere

Chorus

Bridge
There’s an overflow of tranquillity
We are journeying forth with simplicity, yeah
Let’s strive to bring authenticity
For your a shining light to me

Verse 1
A blissful rainbow sky, not counting the reasons why
Unequivocal, beyond the exceptional
The strength of solid years, unsteadying all my fears
With no unspoken truths
Abiding care abound, for this is the love I found
Just like a cornerstone, a love I can call my own
A blossomed flowery field, with colourful appeal
A captivating view

Chorus
Your endearing love to exemplify
The kindred soul, that I visualised
So let our love now symbolize
My beloved so sincere

Verse 2
No unbecoming chance, relating to our first dance
A monumental gaze, became the start of our days
The focus of your quest, exploring for the best
I’m truly glad it’s you
With such novelty, how much greater can this be
Let our cares recline, reflecting with sunshine
Flourishing so hale, yet of no measuring scale
I can count on you

Chorus x2

Ending
My beloved so sincere
My beloved so sincere

Written by Geraldine Taylor ©️

Right throughout the age

I have written every page



Knitted in your mother’s womb

On this earth I shall make room



From the start when time began

I blueprinted every plan



The salt of all the Earth

Rich in value and in worth



Whether near or whether far

Worthy masterpiece you are



When others pass you by

You’re the apple of my eye



When placed in any doubt

I shall not leave you without



In a dry and barren land

When you aim to understand



So beloved, precious gem

Touch my garment at the hem





Even when misunderstood

You partake in the priesthood



When you feel you don’t belong

Rise and sing a new song



In the storm beyond the shore

Whether rich or whether poor



With seeming endless miles

Through the test and through the trials



I am with you to the end

Trust in me, you can depend



Place your very faith in me

For you are my destiny



Written by Geraldine Taylor ©

Verse 1
There’s an open road, to our perfect day
With no undue blocks, situated in our way
Sail from coast to coast, a vibrant voyage
City lights that glisten right above the bridge

Chorus
Take my hand, basking in the sunset
Let’s go write our memories in the sand
The night is ours, embracing who we are
Right here, as we gaze under the stars
My hero, yes you are

Verse 2
Walking hand in hand, proceed to the pier
Contemplate the views, that we both revere
A momentous time, subtle candlelight
Of the times we share, relish with delight
Chorus

Bridge
Before I met you, yes my life was great
The essence of your catering is icening on the cake
How you captivate, enchantment by the shore
Taken by your love, the one that I adore

Chorus

Verse 1

Creations scatter, seeds are blossoming

No greater time to draw the harvest in

New life to thrive and nature to unfold

With character of greater stories told

This is my springtime song

This is my springtime song



Verse 2

Such fields of grace and captured memories saved

The rays of sun above, a steady wave

To picture such an ever after scene

The magnitude of shades of flowering

This is my summer song

This is my summer song



Verse 3

So picturesque, an autumn coloured shade

To so revere, when higher thoughts evade

To thus evolve, the changing of the land

Of mysteries and time is in your hands

This is my autumn song

This is my autumn song



Verse 4

Imprinted patterns, fashioned all across

The times of gain and all apparent loss

The breath of life of seasons animate

A beginning of such a time to wait

This is my winter song

All seasons do belong



Written by Geraldine Taylor ©

The emergence thereof, a cycle begins

Of different forms – developing

Exceeding growth of varied rate

Conditions there to germinate



To reproduce they fertilise

New plants to materialise

Protection of the embryo

Seeds produced, equipped to grow



Soil with moisture and daylight

A season with conditions right

Outer case of seed to split

Cells divide at the root tip



Food produced with sunlight caught

A stronger stem for base support

Grass re-growth of no delay

Species grow in the same way



Creeping plants that climb a wall

Taking shape and growing tall

Carbon dioxide, water involved

The minerals are then dissolved



Tree exposure strong and willed

Healthy cells of which to build

Plants and trees are all around

Natural wonders, calm surround

Chorus

Written by Geraldine Taylor ©️

An abundant harvest, workers may be few

Place no limit on what God can do

Some will appear to exemplify the best

No restrictions on who God can bless

When barriers present appear to stay

He makes ways, where there is no way

Of situations that hinder and stall

You can arise beyond the fall

When doors shut and others refuse

Unceasing ways in which God can choose

In spite of shadows, moments of fear

Fathomless times when God can appear

Trials and tribulations are experiential

God can draw you closer to your potential



Written by Geraldine Taylor ©

Of wonders and miracles

Remover of obstacles

You are unstoppable

My Lord you reign



Unshaken invincible

Of justice permissible

Indifference unthinkable

My Lord you reign



Of presence intangible

Almighty wonderful

Love that’s unchangeable

My Lord you reign



Truth undeniable

Peace unmistakeable

Steadfast unshakeable

My Lord you reign



Sovereign unmoveable

Strong unassailable

Power unbreakable

My Lord you reign



Written by Geraldine Taylor ©

The one who stands beyond compare
Evolving days of which to share
Of whom I call to reminisce
Allied shoulder greatest bliss
Depths of all transparency
Of cares transferred especially
Leading steps of harmony
Gazes fixed observably
Seeketh not, that which was found
Tested time of ways abound
Dearest truly, purposed for
Sailed me forth beyond the shore
As the other significantly
Won my heart victoriously
If ever there was a love that's true
Of such I always found in you

Written by Geraldine Taylor ©

Verse 1
One life, a change towards my dreams
A new horizon, a new found certainty
Procrastination will not paint the scene
The extraordinary, will replace the theme

Bridge
No act in vain, I will not stay the same
Nothing to lose, but everything to gain

Chorus
No challenge, will shake my true belief
Emerging, take flight with faithful wings
I’m boundless, with swift velocity
No limit, one life
No limit, I’ll try
No limit, this is the life
The very air I can breathe

Verse 2
Through obstacles, first-rate seeds are grown
All I desire, beyond my comfort zone
Clear-cut, defined, pressed towards my goal
Draw back the fear, it’s my desire to own

Bridge
Aim amplified, no mountain is too high
Exceptional, I’ll reach towards the sky

Chorus

Verse 1
A divine design, a will aligned, of joy so wonderful
Sent from above, a mirror of, love unconditional
Set apart, reserved, a soulful merge, I know such fruit is rare
A vineyard with, such blossoming, His providential care

Chorus
He thought of me, he thought of you
Blessings of a season, that only God could do
And on that day, faithfully
My whole life had changed

Verse 2
A special place, of majestic grace, I bring my loyalty
Oneness of soul, with a purposed goal, radiating royalty
In him abide, stood by your side, of more than an event
To so unite and glorify, a holy covenant
Chorus

Bridge
A meaningful journey, begins its course
Two becoming one, a dynamic force
A promising season, like the bliss of spring
Of such a splendid vine, such joy to bring
A treasured find, was made anew
From the moment I was revealed to you
Love that has the brightest kind of flame
So may our lives never remain the same

Chorus

Written by Geraldine Taylor ©️

There is a bountiful harvest, enriched with all love
Where the mysteries of life connect from above
A season of promise, with rivers that flow
From the highest mountain, to the waters below

Abound in all joy, with reverence divine
Proceed to the place where souls intertwine
A threefold cord, yet two souls unite
With endless love, to the Father's delight

An enchanted rose, be granted to thee
Your dearly beloved, embraced splendidly
A foundation in God, a new gift of peace
A trust in his will, where all doubt will cease

The promise of God, the call of his command
Trust and be held in the palm of his hand
A covenant made, the exchanging of rings
Soaring upon these enchanted wings

Cherish therein, the dreams of each other
Exemplify a bond that few will discover
A solemn vow, new mercies to see
An honour established with humility

To have and to hold and welcome each other
An honourable day embracing each other
Proclaim the goodness that comes from above
May the both of you continue in love

That which deemed impossible

Yet he does the radical



That which was before denied

Unseen doors were opened wide

For the times when we have failed

Upon board we now set sail



Feeling trapped, oh chain release

Set us free, in restored peace



Guided forward beyond doubt

Renew us from the inside out



That of chaos, rearranged

Simple love that does not change



Drawn closer to holiness

The essence of your faithfulness



The unseen is spiritual

Look beyond the natural



Ever-nurtured, ever-healed

The wisdom of your truth revealed



Written by Geraldine Taylor ©

Of many a surround, complexities be found

Containers lying moist, a decision or a choice

Yet further on afield, a glance at orange peel

Paper, plastic, food, piles amass of tin



Remnant turning raw, a rotten eyesore

Rustling wind o’ waste, left in sudden haste

The mice can now compete, with litter in the street

Paper, plastic, food, piles amass of tin



Fines there are to pay, a shoddy vast array

The circling of sweeps, creating cleaner streets

A clearer road to pave, recycling can be saved

Paper, plastic, food, piles amass of tin



Creatures here collide, scraps of the roadside

Watchers not around, fly-tipping on waste ground

Yet no-one there to blame, deserted country lane

Paper, plastic, food, piles amass of tin



Hazards in the town, where shops are to be found

The mess that will not fade, nor biodegrade

Danger near the farm, creatures brought to harm

Paper, plastic, food, piles amass of tin



Discarded fishing nets, caught around there necks

Trapped in like a pen, cannot get out again

The choices of today, can create a way

Paper, plastic, food, find the nearest bin!



Written by Geraldine Taylor ©

Deep into the rainforest, a struggle to survive

From insects to leaved trees, wanting all to thrive

The habitat of animals, species all around

Living things a-plenty, crawling on the ground



The four main layers play a different role

The bio-diversity forms part of the whole

The dark forest floor and the understory

Shorter plants existing, many bugs to see



The vibrant middle layer, yet forms the canopy

Climbing the emergent, just like a monkey

The strong plant materials, helps to build a home

For people of the Amazon, food that has been grown



Tropical regions, Equator ever near

A moderate climate, giant trees are here

Forests on a mountain, misty all around

Coated in a moss, such an eerie surround



North and South America and Oceania

Asia and Europe, as well as Africa

There’s a cycle of life, yet deforestation

Affects the homes of animals for plantation



Removing ecosystems, can cause erosion

Droughts as well as flooding, less cohesion

The modern ways of man affects vegetation

Contributing to a silent devastation



Replanting, recycling, assisting with crops

Steps of preservation quench like raindrops

The precious seeds and life, of which can be found

Yet, it’s not too late to turn this world around



Written by Geraldine Taylor ©

Verse 1
No two paths the same, in this complex game
There are journeys that cannot be understood
To have loved and lost, at no greater cost
The unwholesome rightly turned around for good

Chorus

This is our picture perfect, yeah

This is our picture perfect, oh yeah
With untangled rods, against the odds, we’re an undivided team
There’s no mystery or disharmony, rising from our history
For the past is gone, I am focused on, beginnings forthcoming
Well beyond the bridge, this journey is unfolding

Verse 2
As the head of home, to have raised my own
The higher guidance, which I can depend
Yet with true love found, purposed middle ground
Two hearts that have become a perfect blend

Chorus

Bridge
Let’s reach beyond the sky
With a magnitude of love set to defy
Let’s gaze beyond the stars
Of a distance travelling forever far
This is our picture perfect

Chorus

Written by Geraldine Taylor ©️

Planetary conjunction, behold catastrophe, o’ trembling earthquake

Afore thy outbreak, for terror has struck – omens of bad luck

Of rats aboard large ships of trade

Black Death, Black Sea, what becometh thee?

Rain of fire be seen, plague-ridden body on board

We have reached thy port, yet to attest, how plague affects

Swelling glands, pain of anguish, rats be driven away!

Your mere presence has brought such decay

As we whip, thy iron-tip, our atonement for sin

Carvened Danse Macabre

Such an illusion – dissolutions thee

Charms of protection, a defensive guard

Twas written, twas seen

O’ comet, striker of the sky, what do you signify?

Pepys can testify

Anger from above, epidemic take hold

Wagons rumble o’er cobblestones

Familiar cries, threepence my dear

Our streets form an open sewer, coins in vinegar, avid memoir

O’ do not tarry, empty thy cesspit

O’ waste

Watchers in haste

Yet beyond the square, our city of London, along the Thames

Statistics ever-rising – bills of mortality

Your curing touch, King healeth thee

O’ silent city, cross be marked

Doors marked red, as peoples fled

Orders for health, examine, oversee, Royal Society

Even physicians flee

Of herbs and spices, no cure for thee

A fire, so great as broken out, thy plague wiped out

As events unfold, we shall retain control



Written by Geraldine Taylor ©

Verse 1

Lord I put my hope, forever put my trust

By your mighty power I’m succeeding

As the apple of your eye, my heart will glorify

In all victory, your undefeated

No other comes before, angelic beings adore

Your insightful ways are overseeing

Your awe-inspiring, give praises to the king

You’re my saviour evermore



Chorus

Pour on us a blessing

Eternal everlasting

Joyfully rejoicing, in thee

A shout of acclamation

A righteous revelation

A blossoming elation, in me



Verse 2

A holy offering, to purify my sins

I’m forgiven, I am free again

You truly paid the price, no greater sacrifice

My redeemer, which I can depend

I’m captured in your sight, the wrongs that you made right

My salvation, fortress fortified

No longer lost now found, I stand on solid ground

Sing praises to the sky



Chorus



Bridge x2

On the rock, no other place is where I stand

Oh the life you give is rested in your hands



Chorus

Written by Geraldine Taylor ©

They roamed the earth with supreme distinction

Evolution prior mass extinction

Of giant forms, dominate thy land

Exceptional findings to understand



To recover and discover, fossils of old

To reconstruct, reform the mould

Fine tools to chip, we hammer away

Extracted fossils, in rocks they lay



Science of discovery, working replica

Evidence of skin and that of feather

The Mesozoic era, before catastrophe

Continents found, thy land and sea



Furry mammals, reptiles of the time

Dazzling dinosaurs crawling from the slime

Non-flowering trees, appearing tall

Conifers and mosses, plants of all



The varied forms, at the least complex

The Titanosaurus, Tyrannosaurus rex

The Kronosaurus, beneath thy wave

Seizing for prey, beneath the cave



Born to adapt, hunters of the sky

Beak-like jaws of which to reply

Folded wings, yet stood to train

The great survivors that now remain



Written by Geraldine Taylor ©

The basic essence of being alive

The process to live and thrive

Movement as the ability to move

Respire to release energy from food

Response to changes, sensitivity

Building blocks, growing steadily

Reproduction of offspring

Excreting waste, healthy living

Food for energy, vital nutrition

Life processes of healthy condition



Written by Geraldine Taylor ©

A powerful hunter, of varied species

Watchfully gazing, they perch on high

Eyesight of excellence, strong hooked beak

Awaiting your prey, vultures, a splendid relation

Incredible wingspan, as they take flight

Found near water, perched on feathered legs

Fish a-plenty, hunting ground

Boot, harpy, snake, fish and sea

Of four divisions so they belong

Rainforests, deserts, coasts thy be found

Of almost every habitat

Foraging for food

Make way to the nest

Eyries of the ledge, frequently of the trees

Align thy grass, twigs and leaves

Display a valid courtship

Allocate thy mate

Somersault with might and weight

Protect thine eggs, chicks will hatch

Be guarded, vulnerability be aware

Return thy food, to motherly shelter

Protect from snakes, ravens, racoons

Promote survival, train thy young

Eagle calls across thy territory

Attention thus occupied

With wings outstretched

Take thy stand



Written by Geraldine Taylor ©

Without a standard, no deviation

Accrued sin brings separation

Feeling lost individuation

Poor mistakes upon rotation



From a worldly fascination

To a godly motivation

Bring forth a realisation

Praise the Lord a proclamation



Influence a growing nation

Be their light and elevation

Changing friends of adoration

Create a right manifestation



Overcome the devastation

Intercede with mediation

Reform the civilisation

Let us raise this generation
