Straight From The Heart

Living Intelligently From Experience

A Path in the Lives and Experiences of People

as they affect many, taken from

lives past, lives now and lives that will be

Straight From The Heart

Sexual immorality is reaching an all time low

The young generations are overwhelmed by vices we know

Rampant in-your-face- homosexuality and immerging cultures

Are swooping down on society like baiting vultures

In these times when “Bashments” prevail

Growing up means having spent some time in jail

Having a ride on the minibus

Takes turns we can no longer trust

 

Festivals at Crop Over is “wuk-up” parades and scanty dress

Reveling to lewd music, encouraging the sickening and shameless

One of God’s chosen had the courage to fight back

Mount Zion’s Mission was started to set citizens on track

 

The success spread Missions the Island through

Have Churches now in Gall Hill, Eden Lodge and Deacons too

Encouraging our people to turn away

 

Hold on to their virtues and take time to pray

Even when faced with great adversity

Apostle Dr. Lucille Baird trotted on faithfully

Remembering always that her works are through God’s grace

Those who know her, congratulate her with a thankful embrace
