"Start Over"

(flame feat. NF)

Everybody’s got a blank page
A story they’re writing today
A wall that they’re climbing
You can carry the past on your shoulders
Or you can start over
Regrets, no matter what you've gone. through
Jesus, He gave it all to save you
He carried the cross on His shoulders
So you can start over

Don’t let your heart be troubled
Don’t be afraid
To the broken-hearted that wished that they’d Never been born, never been torn, never sinned, never disobeyed
I know you think there’s no hope, but that ain’t true,
Jesus saves!
I know you feelin’ regret
(Like I) brought this all on myself
(Like I) messed it up big time, and this time I don’t deserve God’s help
(Thinking) how can God forgive me after knowin’ what I did (can He?)
After knowin’ that I hid from Him, and I stayed away and backslid (listen)
Jesus came for the sick (so true)
Jesus came for the weak (amen)
Jesus came to give good news and have set the captives free (amen)
Jesus came for the poor (amen)
Jesus came with the keys (amen)
Jesus came to remove the chains so the prisoners are released (amen)

Everybody’s got a blank page
A story they’re writing today
A wall that they’re climbing
You can carry the past on your shoulders
Or you can start over
Regrets, no matter what you've gone through
Jesus, He gave it all to save you
He carried the cross on His shoulders
So you can start over

See, His love is deeper than the ocean floor
Run to His arms like an open door
God the Father sent the Son
So men can come and be free and ain’t gotta run no more
(that's what He said)
Come to me, all who are weary; with heavy burdens, I’ll give you rest
Separated you from your sin, as far as the east is from
the west (He said)
Thrown in the sea of forgetfulness
What sin? What offense?
And when them waves come crashing in, I’ll calm the winds in your defense (that's what He said)
So, whatever it is that you’ve done
He put that punishment on His Son
You’ll never come under His condemnation conquer sin
and Satan, and his accusations
So, dry your eyes, lift up your head
Hallelujah! God is not dead!
Plus He gave us His peace, and He took our guilt on the cross instead
Took our place and now we embrace
A clean slate with the eyes of faith
We know unfailing love, unfailing love, it’s not too late,start over

Everybody’s got a blank page
A story they’re writing today
A wall that they’re climbing
You can carry the past on your shoulders
Or you can start over
Regrets, no matter what you gone through
Jesus, He gave it all to save you
He carried the cross on His shoulders
So you can start over

"Best Thing That I Found"

(Corbett feat. Lecrae & Corbett)

[Chorus: Corbett]
Another face, in the crowd
Fall from grace, I'm comin down
You're the best thing that I found
You're the best thing that I found
You lost your way, I lost my crown
I'm still here, feet on the ground
You're the best thing that I found
You're the best thing that I found, that I found

[Saigon]
Uhh, uh
I used to get these feelings and think of these crazy things
But when you shine your light on me it's like you gave me wings
I thought I was depressed, you showed me how much more I was blessed
I'm thankin you Lord, this I could confess
You know more than anybody all that I had to go through
I heard you when you said that's just somethin I had to show you
For me to get to know you like I know you
And when the Reaper tried to come to get me you came to save me, I owe you
Some call you Jesus as Father, some say you the holy ghost
I know you love me cause when things get ugly you hold me close
This is why I try to live the life of just righteousness
Feelin like the opposite, somethin you wouldn't like for us
Coulda easily got addicted and couldn't kick it
You told me to never try it, that's why I never did it
Heavenly Father never forget it
My life without you, I'd just rather not live it I'm just
[Chorus]

[Lecrae]
Yeah, not ashamed of my pain, not ashamed of my struggle
I lost some battles but I'm still out here facin this trouble
Facin my trials cause they only make me stronger
Starvin in these streets will only elevate your hunger
Beat me down and laughed at me, tell me that this is foolishness
They can't take my hope away from me, nobody's movin it
Faith ain't what you make it, faith is all I got to make it
Tired of you forsakin, you naked left in the vacant
Forget them naysayers and haters and stay at it
Sometimes a dream broken is a dream worth havin
Passions passed in my pastor, can't rewind it and back up
Focus fixed on the future so tell my failures to back up
Get back up after you fall when yo' back is up on that wall
Ain't no backup that you control, just look back up at God and call
Uhh, sometimes the pain is the motivation of trust
And them scars are the evidence that the journey was rough
Yeah, none of it was in vain, re-adjusted the aim
Missed a couple of shots, still ain't out of the game
[Chorus]

[Outro: Saigon]
Uhh..
And we pray and we pray and we pray and we pray
And we pray and we pray and we pray and we pray
And we pray and we pray and we pray and we pray
S to the A and my little brother Lecrae
DJ, Corbett, ha ha
We all got faith, in that man upstairs
Hallelujah, amen, thank you

Education is essential to equip Africans in the 21st century. As 11 million young Africans enter the job market every year, we are looking for business ideas that will impact education with the potential to scale across Africa.
It means you could…

The Environment is critical to ensure Africa works together in all sectors to promote innovations that will protect the livelihood of current and future generations. As 11.3 million hectares of land are ravaged every year by poor agricultural systems, over-grazing, and deforestation, we are looking for business ideas that will impact the environment with the potential to scale across Africa.

Uncharted means unexplored, not yet attempted. What is so difficult to do in your community that no one has tried before? Like explorers and inventors throughout history, what will propel Africa into a stronger position in the 21st century? We are looking for business ideas that boldly go where no one has gone before in Africa.

"Speak Life"

Song by Toby Mac

life feels perfect.
Other days it just ain't workin.
The good, the bad, the right, the wrong
And everything in between.

Though it's crazy, amazing
We can turn a heart with the words we say.
Mountains crumble with every syllable.
Hope can live or die

So speak Life, speak Life.
To the deadest darkest night.
Speak life, speak Life.
When the sun won't shine and you don't know why.
Look into the eyes of the brokenhearted;
Watch them come alive as soon as you speak hope,
You speak love, you speak...
You speak Life, (oh oh oh oh oh oh) You speak Life. (oh oh oh oh oh oh)

Some days the tongue gets twisted;
Other days my thoughts just fall apart.
I do, I don't, I will, I won't,
It's like I'm drowning in the deep.

Well it's crazy to imagine,
Words from our lips as the arms of compassion,
Mountains crumble with every syllable.
Hope can live or die.

So speak Life, speak Life.
To the deadest darkest night.
Speak life, speak Life.
When the sun won't shine and you don't know why.
Look into the eyes of the brokenhearted;
Watch them come alive as soon as you speak hope,
You speak love, you speak...
You speak Life, (oh oh oh oh oh oh) You speak Life. (oh oh oh oh oh oh)

Lift your head a little higher,
Spread the love like fire,
Hope will fall like rain,
When you speak life with the words you say.

Raise your thoughts a little higher,
Use your words to inspire,
Joy will fall like rain,
When you speak life with the things you say.

Lift your head a little higher,
Spread the love like fire,
Hope will fall like rain,
When you speak life with the words you say.

So speak Life, speak Life.
To the deadest darkest night.
Speak life, speak Life.
When the sun won't shine and you don't know why.
Look into the eyes of the brokenhearted;
Watch them come alive as soon as you speak hope,
You speak love, you speak...
You speak Life, (oh oh oh oh oh oh) You speak Life. (oh oh oh oh oh oh)

You speak Life, (oh oh oh oh oh oh) You speak Life. (oh oh oh oh oh oh)

Some days life feels perfect.

Undoubted Hustle Pays

When  your hustle seems rumbled

And your labour,  below cool

Let not your heart be troubled

For someday the street wiLl launch you

Your sun scourged head is  never forgotten

Your dirt-filled legs will drive nice cars someday

Provided from your hustle you remain faithful

The trying times when sorrows betide

When customers on your faces they spat

But for profit's sake softly you react

All these troubles will soon be past

Cos its always darkest before the Dawn

Your hustle someday will pay

And your loved ones with you celebrate

The breadseller turned model did the same

And her success withstood the wave

She succeded cos she never relented

Opportunity came once,

And she grabbed it by the horn

So also will come your turn

Never let it slip off

Cos someday your success story will tour.....

"PIECES OF MY PLEAD"

They aRrive the creators Quarters

Just in different chapters

qeueing behind each other

Waiting for approval

They head onward to the creator marching

Just like the NYSC oriented in various batches

The thought i need not whisper before they arrive his quaters

The sigh i took that greatly matters

Then in a twinkling of an eye the answer came

Not in pieces as i pleaded,

But in folds as i wanted

He channelled ma piecesed plea, comprehended it and send me the Answers

Indeed he alone is the greatest Master

Though pleads sent in pieces, yet he answered completely.

"Aftermath"

[Verse 1:]
The skies lay low where You are
On the earth You rest Your feet
Yet the hands that cradle the stars
Are the hands that bled for me

[Chorus 1:]
In a moment of glorious surrender
You were broken for all the world to see
Lifted out of the ashes
I am found in the aftermath

[Verse 2:]
Freedom found in Your scars
In Your grace my life redeemed
For You chose to take the sinner's crown
As You placed Your crown on me

[Chorus 2 :]
In that moment of glorious surrender
Was the moment You broke the chains in me
Lifted out of the ashes
I am found in the aftermath
And in that moment You opened up the heavens
To the broken the beggar and the thief
Lifted out of the wreckage
I find hope in the aftermath

[Bridge:]
And I know that You're with me
Yes I know that You're with me here
And I know Your love will light the way

[Chorus 3:]
Now all I have I count it all as loss
But to know You and to carry the cross
Knowing I'm found
In the light of the aftermath [2]

Solar Motors Unveiled in Africa - Uganda

A solar-powered bus described by its Ugandan makers as the first in Africa has been driven in public. Kiira Motors' Kayoola prototype electric bus was shown off at a stadium in Uganda's capital, Kampala. One of its two batteries can be charged by solar panels on the roof which increases the vehicle's 80km (50 mile) range.

The makers now hope to attract partners to help manufacture the bus for the mass market.

Can Africa lead the way on renewable energy? Africa's new breed of 'solar-preneurs preneurs' Kiira Motors' chief executive Paul Isaac Musasizi told BBC News that he had been "humbled" by the large and positive reaction to the test drive.

People have been excited by the idea that Uganda is able to produce the concept vehicle, or prototype, and Mr Musasizi said he wanted it to help the country "champion the automotive, engineering and manufacturing industries" in the region.

He also hopes that it will generate employment, predicting that by 2018, more than 7,000 people could be directly and indirectly employed in the making of the Kayoola. But backing from international companies, which make vehicle parts, is essential for the project to take off. The vision is that by 2039 the company will be able to manufacture all the parts and assemble the vehicle in
Uganda.

The 35-seat bus is intended for urban areas rather than inter-city use because of the restrictions on how far it can travel. If it is mass produced, each bus would cost up to $58,000 (£40,000), which Mr Musasizi says is a a competitive price. Kiira Motors grew out of a project at Uganda's Makerere University, which is now a shareholder in the company, and it has also benefitted from government funding.
