Real!!!

A blessed good day to all of you my brothers and sisters in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

I have in the past given you lyrics to deep psalms and hymns sung by brothers and sisters outside of the Caribbean. Today I feel compelled to share with you the words of a song/prayer that has truly ministered to my spirit and heart unlike any other in a long time.
Now this song was sung and written by a local group called The Broadwayboys. This group has been around since my youth. They are my age and because of this I listened to them allot because I felt that being youths themselves, they understood the challenges youths face daily.

To be honest, I am not sure if they are still ministering to people as a group or individually. What I can say is that the Lord has truly given them the grace and anointing to minister to a lonely heart, a broken spirit, a rebellious soul or someone who is just lost and searing for the right answer.

God Bless!!!

REAL – by The Broadway Boys

Real oh Jesus

Father help to be real as I face another day
To please you with my life as I walk along this way
Search my life Oh Lord remove any sinful way
That I may live in truth as you teach me your way

Touch my mouth Oh Lord make pure the words I say
My eyes oh Lord only to see this right way
My feet Oh Lord let them never go astray
Bless my heart with Love and let me love you all the way

(Oh yeah, Hear my cry oh Lord)

There are days when I just get up and go throughout the day
Neglecting Lord your word God just too busy to pray
Walking through the day sowing seeds that led to sin
Never was salt and light, Neglecting holy living

Now I face the fruits and consequences of my wrong ways
Bitter are my times and shorter are my days
No more than ever now Lord I really need your Grace
To walk in your light and not to faint in this race

Father help to be real as I face another day
To please you with my life as I walk along this way
Search my life Oh Lord remove any sinful way
That I may live in truth as you teach me your ways

Lord touch my mouth Oh Lord make pure the words I say
My eyes oh Lord only to see this right way
Bless my feet oh Lord let me never go astray
And touch my heart with love that I may Love You all the way

Why should I frustrate your grace Lord through disobedience?
Want to live like you live but I dwell out your presence,
Want to be used when I’m ready but not pure,
Want to be filled but my vessel insecure.

Or seeking out your power Lord and Your anointing,
But how can new wine be poured into an old wine skin?
You are the Potter Lord and I am the clay,
Mold my life and shape me I pray today.

Real, real Jesus help me to be real
Real, real Jesus help me to be real
Real in my mind, real in my heart, down in my soul
Oh father down in my soul.

Oh Real, real Jesus help me to be real
Real, real Jesus help me to be real
Real in my mind, real in my heart, down in my soul
Oh father down in my soul.

Oh Father help to be real as I face another day
To please you with my life as I walk along this way
Search my life Oh Lord remove any sinful way
That I may live in truth as you teach me your ways

Oh touch my mouth Oh Lord make pure the words I say
Touch my eyes oh Lord only to see this right way
Bless my feet oh Lord let me never go astray
And bless my heart with love that I may Love You all the way

(Oh yeah…oh.. yeah..)

Oh Father teach me to be humble
Lord Help me to be meek
Teach me to be strong even when I’m feeling weak

Teach me to be patient
Lord teach me to be kind
Help me keep a smile when your peace escapes my mind

Lord teach me to be gentle, at times I may be bold
Discipline in my walk, practicing of self control
All these things I pray Lord, let always be in me
For it is by Your spirit and for Your Glory.

Father help to be real as I face another day
To please you with my life as I walk along this way
Search my life Oh Lord remove any sinful way
That I may live in truth as you teach me your ways

Touch my mouth Oh Lord make pure the words I say
Touch my eyes oh Lord only to see this right way
Bless my feet oh Lord let me never go astray
And touch my heart with love and let me Love You all the way

Real Oh Jesus!!
