Awakening

Born into this world, we were called to live

 

Not knowing what to do with ourselves

 

Going about with every breath drawn in

 

We were placed in different shelves

 

Experiencing our own trial and strife

 

 

Amidst this difference, we were united by one goal

 

Appointed to take that certain path

 

Everyone unsure

 

About facing the world’s wrath

 

But do we ever find the cure?

 

 

 

We are only students

 

 

 

Day breaks but night falls

 

Shadows (sins) are present everywhere

 

In every area of our lives, our vitality.

 

Shadows of laziness, insult, lust

 

Greed, and gluttony

 

 

 

Ships sail, but how many land?

 

New Years’ resolution,

 

Faith goals that came with tenacity

 

Spirit willing, but flesh weak.

 

Revealing vulnerability

 

 

 

Forever drowning in the ocean

 

Of hate and insecurity

 

Forever craving the essence

 

Of peace and serenity

 

And tranquility

 

 

 

Endlessly quarreling

 

About the littlest things

 

And controversies

 

Talking Apple vs Samsung vs Sony

 

How unnecessary!

 

 

 

We are only students.

 

 

As the seasons brush by

 

And each day slips past

 

We start to accept

 

God has no purpose and plan for me...

 

 

Thoughts of

 

will I ever get into a university?

or

do I have a bright future ahead me?

 

 

 

 

 

That is the Beauty of God.

 

No matter how many times you have sinned against Him

 

how many times you have ran away

 

He still say’s “Come to Me those who are burdened and weary”

 

from Mrs. Rocha to Ms. Linny,

 

Teachers that train and Mold

 

the world changers of the 21st century

 

 

 

Jeremiah 29:11: “ For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

 

Deuteronomy 31:16

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

 

Those two verses has something in common

 

put your trust in Him, You will surely never come to ruin!

 

 

 

We are students.

 

 

 

prepared to take on every single challenge

 

to expand the kingdom

 

here on earth

 

future teachers

 

future Preachers

 

future servant leaders of this nation!

 

STAND UP!

 

for we are not just students but ambassadors

 

ambassadors of Christ

 

called to reach out

 

and change the system of sin!

 

to be the salt and light and be the very foundation,

 

for the coming generation and the next

 

 

so they may no longer see to hesitation

 

hesitation to do what is good,

 

and what is pleasing,

 

hesitation to to serve the King!

 

cause for every slumber there is an Awakening!

 

so wake up from this blasted dream,

 

and let Him wipe away every spec of sin!

 

for He is the only one!

 

 

 

So go forth! go forth and be leaders,

 

leaders that will lead the lost through the darkness that is upon them.

 

So that the Father can save them.

 

So He Can fix them!

 

Chapel might end today, but never stop praising Him!

Notes

This is the last spoken word poem that we wrote for our school wide chapel service, with the help of Jeremy Carlos and TJ Castillion.

This will be our letter for the coming batch of Grade 11 SY2014-2015

For as we leave the compounds of Victory Christian International School,

They will be the next leaders. Thank you for the wonderful 4 years of High School Guys! I am blessed that God put you guys in my life, Thank you...
