My Lord, You are Amazing

My Lord, you are amazing
You are the songs of spring
The beginning of everything
The true joy this life brings
 
My Lord, you are amazing

Help me to follow you home
To live for you and you alone
Give me strength to turn away
From everything not a blessing

My Lord, you are amazing

Lord, help me sing your praise
To live for you all of my days
To appreciate the simple things
Give thanks for your blessings
 
My Lord, you are amazing

You are the songs of spring
The source of all good things
The life in the air we breathe
Of whom choirs of angels sing

My Lord, you are amazing

Lord, my sweet precious Lord
My Lord, you, and you alone
My Lord, you are truly amazing!

The Answer is Peace

Memorial shrines along the public way
Tributes to all the angels whisked away
Candle lit walkways; nestled in shrines
Flowers, gifts, cards and poetic rhymes

Outpouring, beautiful heartfelt displays
Pictures of the innocence lost that day
Quiet sadness fills the brisk country air
As mourners pass slowly by; many tears

It's Christmas in Sandy Hook, Newtown
This tiny picturesque Connecticut town
Oh Holy Night; hoping, praying, believing
Dear Baby Jesus, send a miracle healing

The people here are longing for peace
A half a world away the "Infant" speaks
Cradled in arms of the Queen of peace
Comes words of healing; "I am your peace"

He will never leave us alone in our tears
Never leave us alone to conquer our fears
Will not let the joy of Christmas day cease
In the arms of the Queen,"I am your peace"
"Live my Commandments" - "I am your peace"

Mourning Nation "Pray"


Say a prayer for our neighbors; broken hearts, tragedy
Say a prayer for all the families; unimaginable misery
Say a prayer for all the children; innocence torn away
Say a prayer for the guardians; no greater love exits
Say a prayer for the little ones; angels of pure love
Say a prayer for all God's people; Mourning Nation - "PRAY"

An ocean of tears are falling; numbing pain and disbelief
An entire Nation is in mourning; Nations share our grief
Heartfelt emotions; senseless, a day evil had its way
Together, as one broken mourning soul, together - "Pray"

Dear Lord, gather into the arms of your perfect Love
All of the beloved angels that were suddenly taken away
Comfort the families of all the victims of this horrific day
Lord, in the arms of perfect Love, your children rest safe

Dear Lord, for our neighbors; please give them peace
Dear Lord, for all the families; comfort in this time of grief
Dear Lord, for the children; restore the innocence torn away
Dear Lord, for the teachers; guardianship over their angles
Dear Lord, for the little ones; tenderness of perfect Love

The Heart of Nashville Tennessee



I remember the songs of Detroit City
Classic melodies; the soul of the streets
Now we listen to the music of today
All I can say - is I long for yesterday

Words so destructive and demeaning
It's hard to believe what they are singing
If this is cool; if this is the way of change
All I can say - is I long for yesterday

What happened to the city boy in me
Sometimes change is really a good thing
I still listen to the music of the streets
The music out of Nashville Tennessee

I remember the sounds of Detroit City
Those sweet melodies; those funky beats
All the memories of back in the day
All I can say - country music is the way

I remember, faith in God; family values too
Love of Country; working for your due
Words of meaning; prayers on bent knees
History; songs out of Nashville Tennessee

Sing the Lord His praise; sing of better days
God bless America - God bless America
God bless the words - God bless the melodies
God bless the heart of Nashville Tennessee

"A Tale of Two"

All the preparations have been made for Thanksgiving Day;
The decorations, the deserts, and the abundant feast.

The blessing of God's banquet is bestowed upon the family;
A day of prayer, thankfulness, thoughtfulness, and hospitality.

A morning Mass of thanksgiving or the rival football game;
The dash back home to indulge in the feast of the game.

The prayer, the laughs, all the stories of days gone by;
The tears, the memories, of family and friends that have died.

This is the great day of Thanksgiving as ordained by the Lamb;
The gifts, and the pouring out of blessings of the Great, "I AM".
-------------------------------------------------------------
All the preparations are underway for the biggest of selling days;
The decorations, the abundant goods, shelves packed and stacked.

The advertisements, the commercial enticement of items to be sold;
The lure of the god's of this world and their many temples of gold.

The divide, and separation, of the unity and joy that this day brings;
Is sold out and replace with dig deals on so called precious things.

The day, buyers and sellers partake in the great rush of the game;
Counting not blessings, but counting the numbers made and saved.

A "Tale of Two" - A contrast of Thanksgiving Day we once knew;
A day of a blessed family turkey meal - Or a day the turkey is you.

The Path to Glory

Just one look in your eyes tells the story
Page by page from the beginning to end
True freedom lies in the words, I'm sorry
Don't hesitate, seek out “The Path to Glory”

Some look for happiness in worldly things
Fancy cars, fine clothes and diamond rings
It's time to cast aside all those playthings
Time to live in the joy of “The King of Kings”

Only Jesus, can transform your heart anew
Only Jesus, can heal all the sorrow in you
Only Jesus, can set you upon eagle's wings
Only Jesus - Only Jesus – “The King of Kings”

Sometimes the mountain's so hard to climb
Its path can beat you down a time or two
Fight on to the end where the truth resides
True and lasting freedom is waiting for you

It takes a lifetime to write the whole story
One page at a time from beginning to end
True freedom is found in “The Path to Glory”
The soul story written one day will ascend

Only Jesus, can transform your heart anew
Only Jesus, can heal all the sorrow in you
Only Jesus, can set you upon eagle's wings
Only Jesus - Only Jesus – “The King of Kings”

New Day

Moonlight reflecting the sun
The stars are glistening above
The day gone by was tough
Tomorrow will be soon enough
Should the morning sun be shining
My eyes will greet the new day
I'll do my best to keep on trying
I'll fight the good fight all the way
Should heaven rain down tears
The clouds cover over the sky
I'll be cleansed from all my fears
And thank God for the gift of life
Then moonlight will shine above
The stars will light up the heavens
The Lord will fill me with his love
For a sinner like me, that's enough

I Believe

Still praying and waiting for a King
While people die they are calling it spring
Just a Teacher and Prophet was he
He is Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to me
I believe in my Savior and Redeemer
The Christ that shed his blood upon a tree
I believe in the Son of God the Father
I believe - I believe ------ I believe
His words are the words of everlasting life
Giving sight to the blind that cannot see
His mercy will endure until the end of time
He is Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to me
I believe in my Savior and Redeemer
The Christ that shed his blood upon a tree
I believe in the Son of God the Father
I believe - I believe ------ I believe
Dear children of God you need wait no more
Prophets cannot usher in the spring
My dear children "Love" is waiting at the door
Father, Son, and Spirit - "Holy Trinity"
I believe - I believe - I believe - Jesus, I believe!

The Mission (OLM)

Amidst flames, smoke and ash, my eyes, are looking at you
I desire that all souls be united as one forever with my soul
Accept the mission, where I will lead you, do not be afraid
I am calling you, I need you, my children, I will be with you
My eyes are looking at you; praise the Father’s holy name
So many have not come to know the Heavenly Father's love
Accept the mission, where I will lead you, do not be afraid
I am calling you, I need you, my children, I will be with you
I will fill you with my graces; protect you from evil ways
Console you in times of trial; give strength to you always
Accept the mission, where I will lead you, do not be afraid
I am calling you, I need you, my children, I will be with you
Open your hearts; for all your Shepherds continue to pray
That they be united to my Son; so that they may be one
Accept the mission, where I will lead you, do not be afraid
I am calling you, I need you, my children, I will be with you
Amidst flames, souls are burning; seek out the fire of "Love"

A Whisper

She spoke of her children in the words a poem
It took me back to the time we raised our own
A child so amazed when he entered God's place
A whisper; this is God's home - it's God's home

Mother and daughter writing words from the soul
Precious moments together come; then they go
It's all about family, children, helping them grow
A whisper; it's all about home - it's about home

In a blink of an eye they're kissing you goodbye
Excited to live out a dream; this is their time
Then they leave and you are standing all alone
A whisper; love in the home - love in the home

She spoke of her children - I thought of my own
The smiles and tears; how quickly they've grown
She spoke of her children in the words a poem
A whisper; love in the home - love in God's home
A whisper sown within a child's heart - God's home

Sweet Jesus

There are no roses at the cross
There are no smiles only tears
There are no roses at the cross
But my sweet Jesus is there

There are no roses sweet Jesus
There are no smiles only tears
There are no roses sweet Jesus
At every cross you are there

No way to carry this alone
No way to do this on my own
Weighed down in sin and misery
Jesus, please carry it with me

There are no roses at the cross
But saving grace is surely there
There are no roses at the cross
But my sweet Jesus is there

No way to carry this alone
No way to do this on my own
Weighed down in sin and misery
Jesus, please carry it with me

There is hope in my sweet Jesus
Faith will dry up all my tears
There is hope in my sweet Jesus
That I will rise from my despair

Praise the name of sweet Jesus
For every cross that we bear
There are no roses at the cross
But my sweet Jesus is there

Sign of the Times

Many eyes looked up to the sky
An Eagle soared majestically high
Magnificent beauty, gracefully free
Adorned body with massive wings

Extending in opposite directions
Each giving balance to the core
So awe inspiring to watch nature
A sign that we should not ignore

Together we are part of one body
Each with a mission and direction
A feather on one wing or the other
Together as permanent connection

An Eagle needs both wings to fly
A grounded Eagle will not survive
If a damaged wing needs mending
Healing is vital to a happy ending

Many eyes are looking to the sky
Will the Eagle once again soar high
Will the damaged wing seek healing
A sign of the times is truly revealing

Grace Healing Mercy

Transform my heart anew
A season for me to bloom
Courage to follow through
You always hear me - hear me

Patience to find the way
Strength for another day
Demons to drive away
Dwell within me - within me

Lord - I seek your mercy
Lord - I seek your mercy
Lord - I seek your mercy
Grace Healing Mercy!

Every life is worth living
Every soul needs forgiving
Every moment a grace of time
I commit to you this life of mine

Lord - I seek your mercy
Lord - I seek your mercy
Lord - I seek your mercy
Grace Healing Mercy!

My dear Jesus I love you
Never place one above you
Pray you will see me through
Hear my plea - hear my plea

Every life is worth living
Every soul needs forgiving
Transform my heart anew
My Lord, Jesus, I love you

Lord - I seek your mercy
Lord - I seek your mercy
Lord - I seek your mercy
Grace Healing Mercy!

Pray for Peace (OLM)

Praised be Jesus, my dear children, my Son sends me to you
With a happy, joyous heart, I desire to help you
I am the Queen of Peace, may peace dwell in you

Live Commitment

There's a feeling on the streets of blues
Everything goes and it's all good news
Just live life up and keep partying down
It's just a big game out there on the town

Removed from the ties to values and labels
Loosed from all bonds with old school fables
Tear down structure and remove all limits
Kiss blues away - to hell with commitment

As long as it feels good, it's good for you
Keep on doing the things you need to do
Unhappiness lies ahead if you’re not with it
Live it up today - to hell with commitment

One day you're facing the face in the mirror
The light shines; it couldn't be any clearer
Caught up in a pack of lies is breaking news
Burning fires of pleasure are streets of blues

Truth is the saving grace of being a Christian
Though labels of lies are branded by minions
Salvation though conversion is the good news
The lies of evil minions become streets of blues

True pleasure is found in bonding to values
A new direction lies within a transformed heart
Fire in the interior of the soul is without limit
To hell with streets of blues - live commitment

Upon the Hill


There was a weedy hill without the colors of life
Light could not penetrate through shading limbs
Darkness covered over the space completely
There was potential for beauty there on the hill

The weeds were pulled out from their dirty roots
The large overgrown limbs were pruned away
At once the darkness was overcome by the light 
There was potential for beauty there on the hill

Vibrant perennials gave up their earthly treasures
Seeds were sown into the once thorny lifeless soil
For all things there is a season; a new springtime
Potential for growth and hidden beauty to flourish

The cover in its due season will surely melt away
Penetrating warmth of new light will shine through
Sown treasures will reach to the heavens above
The colors of life will give themselves up anew

Newness will cover over the barren and lifeless
A bussing in the air; dancing from here to there
There is potential for beauty in the lifeless still
Life overcame darkness and death upon the hill
