I saw this bird sittin' at the top of this tree
bein' just as grand as he could be
and he was totally ignorin' me

He had far more interest
in stickin' out his chest
and warbling as loud as he could -
"Hey world - God is Good!"

He didn't care who saw or who heard
and I thought
                     I should be more like that bird
There's times when I should just shout out loud
"My God is great in the the earth and the clouds"
"I can't keep quiet, I just can't shut up
be offended or join me             but
I'll praise Him no matter what"...

NEVER FORGET to forgive those who sin against you.
Never forget to forget the wrongs that people do.
Never forget to return to your enemy
Love, Forgiveness and Mercy
It is only then, over them, we’ll have the Victory.

Vengeance is Mine, says The Lord, Mine alone to keep.
You have all gone astray, every one of you just like a flock of sheep.
You have no right to exact revenge against your motherland’s brother,
For another sin can never make right the grievous sin of another.
So lay down your arms
cease to do each other harm.
Make Love your weapon of choice.
Then we’ll see a new dawn arrive
and all the land will give voice
To a brand new reality –

“Behold how good and pleasant it is
for brethren to dwell in unity”
