Men

(I) Man

This angry young man
shook off his girlfriend
boarded the bus

His tone was hard
He spoke with purpose
("I want nothing to do with you.")

But when his hand brushed against mine,
his skin was soft.

(II) Men
Two man moulding,
kneading, knocking
mooncakes into shape

One, a showman,
lapping up the attention
Flouring the tabletop
with dramatic tosses
Chatting up the lasses

The other,
pressing, checking,
amusement quietly playing
on his lips.

Cool night

I like you, cool night
How your wind eases
past me
Your scent is sharp but
not stinging

And everyone is asleep
except you and me.

For the Weary

Say to those who are fearful hearted
Do not be afraid
The Lord your God is strong
And with His mighty arm
When you call on His Name
He will come and save

Chorus:
He will come and save you
He will come and save you
Say to the weary one
Your God will surely come
He will come and save you
He will come and save you
Lift up your eyes to Him
You will arise again
He will come and save you

Say those who are broken hearted
Do not lose your faith
The Lord your God is strong
And with His loving arms
When you call on His Name
He will come and save

Bridge:He is our refuge in the day of trouble
He is our shelter in the time of storm
He is our tower in the day of sorrow
Our fortress in the time of war
(Back To Chorus)
