INDIGNATION

by Bro. Terrance T. McCormick

My pride swallowed, my time short

I push on with the others

Thoughts flash to and fro in my head

The air is murky and transfixed with tension

My struggle almost at the end, My journey just began

My head bowed low in submission

While the cries I hear sting my ears

And turn my stomach

My sight blurred and hazy

My arms outstreched, My back arched high

My head throbs and swirls with obtained knowledge

As blood flows down my face

My heart aches with indgnation

My body worn and tired

My soul tourmented with a need no words can describe

Yet I journey on to that shining star

To gaze at the sands of time

Steadfast I shall prevail

Eternally I shall win

JOURNEYMAN

SOLO:

I give my best my life my soul,

So I can be righteous walk these streets of gold,

I am I can I will proceed,

and take the lead until my purpose succeeds.

CHORUS:

As I journey down this valley I shall worry no more,

In the skies the sparrows eyes is watching me as he soars,

The sword is my strength the shield is my faith,

And I'm gonna take with me every single step that I make.

INVICTUS

by William Ernest Henley

Out of the night that covers me

Black as the pit from pole to pole

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud

Under the bldgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the horrors of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate

I am the captain of my soul.

BE HUMBLE

For what a man says to you,

Can not penetrate your mind,

For the mind is the

strongest part of the body

Look over the little things

He says to provoke you,

For He is not on your level.

You are the best

and the strongest.

DEDICATED

To be dedicated means to

follow through to the end.

To endure, to overcome obstacles,

"To keep on keeping on"

These are the qualities

of dedication.

BE STRONG

We're not here to play, to dream, to drift

We have hard work to do and loads to lift

Shun not struggle, face it tis God's gift

BE STRONG.

Say not days are evil who's to blame

Then fold thy hands in aqueous oh shame

Stand up, speak out, and bravely in God's name

BE STRONG.

It matters not how deep entrench the wrong

How hard the battle goes, the days how long

Faint not, fight on, tomorrow comes song

BE STRONG.
