Beautiful Stranger - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

How do I explain and put it in words
And speak about her that's unknown
A girl so beautiful and wonderful
But words can't exclaim or explain
To me she's a stranger
But to my heart she is well-known
Our paths might have crossed
Or our separate journeys must still reach that crossroad
A place where we will meet
And we will just know
Our hearts are already aware
That's why we must take care
And shouldn't just let anyone in
Because our hearts are a gift
That belongs to the one
Someone special God had in mind
Before He created us and placed us in this world
He made us unique individuals
A perfect fit to become one
I waited all these years and had my fears
But God is still in control
I do believe
That I will receive
The heart kept just for me
So I will keep
My heart meant for one
So that we'll exchange
On that faithful day
My heart to her
Her heart to me
And no longer will she be
My Beautiful Stranger
But my Love so Beautiful

Look at me - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

truly renewed, changed heart new start, born again, on the straight and narrow, erased past, walking with no condemnation, cloaked in righteousness, salvation freely received, only requirement to believe and let Jesus in, make him king, look at me, who do you see, the man i used to be, or someone brand new, i hope the latter, coz that man is better, dying to self in order to live the good life, following the footsteps of the Christ, the source of life

look at me,
once was lost now found,
blinded by lies but see clearly now,
man in the mirror i don't recognize,
needed life, gave him my heart and received eternal life

beautiful day isn't it, sun shining outside, but the storm's in the inside, all you see is rain clouds, and the weather forecast predicting hurricanes, you are caught without a life raft, stranded no one for miles, on your own island with no hope of any rescuing, but then he steps in and throw you a life line, but you don't see it, you're still blind, blinded by the world's lies, eating it like french fries, tasty ain't it, but it's causing you your life, time to open up your eyes, and time to realise, your storm can be over if you just give your life to Jehovah, if you doubt the results, just look at my life, look at me now

Living - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

this morning this day isn't mine
this journey this life isn't either
this road that i'm on
from the beginning of my life
to the day when i pass on
all of this is a moment in time
just passing through to get to you
o Lord here i am
unworthy so please help me understand
how someone like me is part of your master plan
how someone like you would die for someone like me
before i was conceived before i came to be
i was a thought and you knew i would disappoint
but Lord you didn't abort and you kept me to this point
you call me your child and we're only separated for awhile
until that glorious day when we're united
help me be all you want me to be
help me see clearly all you want me to see
and help me live a godly life
living by your Spirit through faith
so i was what i was
i am what i am
but i will be what you Lord wants me to be

N.O.B.L.E. MAN - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

Not ordinary
Ordinary plus extra
Brave in the face of fear
Love unconditionally
Each and everyday practice and not just preach

MAN, what can I say, this is just not just another like any other kinda brother, let me break it down, noble, not a dude wearing a crown distinguished by rank or title, a man with character, although flawed still fixed in the Lord, a man with honor, who has dignity and integrity unlike any other, characterized by high moral qualities, being honest truthful trustworthy, just to mention a few, and how about having self-respect being tolerant and don't forget fidelity and loyalty, don't read me wrong, i'm not trying to say perfection, no man is perfect and being noble doesn't require one to be flawless, you might wonder can one man have all this, my answer is yes and add some more, compassionate, shows good will, generosity, charitable, considerate, kind, there's still some more, let me put it in the following line and make it part of this rhyme, being just and fair, having empathy patience and a forgiving heart 

Not ordinary
Ordinary plus extra
Brave in the face of fear
Love unconditionally
Each and everyday practice and not just preach

MAN, here i go again with another verse, pen and paper down and done with rehearse, as you can guess this is the last verse, who you wanna be, some wanna be or someone people would want to be, let me tell you about a, he was all about fun and games, and b, all about the honey wanting to be queen bee, and c just knew what to say to get his way, d, now that's someone to admire, his actions always inspire, but he always came last, like an applicant failed to get hired, a b c and d were close friends, from boys to men, always there for one another, but b messed up and got with a's wife, c no longer had his charm that came with his youth, broke the law and couldn't charm his way out, a got bored, broke the law and got caught, a and c were in it together, did the crime now doing the time, b was so entangled in lies, but wifey made a discovery, signed the papers and split, d never turned his back on his friends, not condoning the deeds but never condemning the man, his a verse 1 type of guy

MAN

Sunshine and Rain - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

I'm no stranger to both sunshine and rain, inside out I began to doubt, because of all the rain I've been experiencing, brought me to the point where I wonder if my life's just one big storm, with moments of sunshine, the eye of the storm, it seems like this was the norm, but through it all, I stood tall, molding me that's what he's been doing, I grew and now I'm stronger, constantly growing, his love's constantly showing, in and through my life, circumstances, subjects of life teaching me how to live right, and not to give up and just to hold on, fight the good fight, keep the faith, everyday praise him for his love and amazing grace, call me poet call me Riaan call me JePro, doesn't really matter, the name is just a means to address me, it doesn't make me, rain is there for a reason, how else will flowers grow, sunshine also has it's purpose in the lifespan of a flower, both sunshine and rain are crucial in it's growth, this is a metaphor of a beautiful life, a life found in Jesus Christ...

Happiness - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

How strange is it that we all seek to be happy
And not knowing what it is to be truly happy
People's approval or being in their company won't make you happy
Places ventured or unventured can't make you happy
Inside yourself lies the key to true happiness
No one else can access it for you
Events, uge or small affects one's mood and gives the illusion of happy or unhappiness
Submerge yourself in the truth that happiness are only temporary
So rather seek joy that will last for eternity that's found in He who holds eternity
