Day by Day

There is truth in freedom

Joy is alive within the soul
We may seek out reasons
Forget it all...Just let it go

Life is a journey to heaven

Step by step; day by day
Take all the blessings given
Let our light pave the way

To see both sides of things

Put away the foolishness

Fly high with graceful wings

Enter the realm of holiness

Forget it all...Just let it go

Lasting peace fills the soul

Let our light pave the way

Step by step; day by day

One toward Peace

This is the time to end the fear

Today is the day to start anew
With one voice in humble prayer
A new beginning for me and you

Flaming words lead to our demise

As darkness separates from light
Healing begins with compromise
The answer is black and white

Understanding frees from within

Trust is a great place to begin
Sometimes we must lose to win
Love sees beyond colors of skin

Too much war and too much hate

Too many reasons to separate
Where it all ends no one knows
The difference is where it flows

United hearts subdue the pains

One day all division will cease
The truth pours from our veins
Flowing as one toward peace

 

Just a Little Bit Rusty

Forgive me my Lord

I've been confused

I'm a little bit rusty

From grace unused

So many things are on my mind

So many answers, hard to find

Lord, forgive me.....for being me

So much uncertainty

Heartache and pain
But, I always believe
Never lost my faith

Though I'm longing

For a little strength
I keep pushing on
Seeking out my way

So many things are on my mind

So many answers, hard to find
Lord, forgive me.....for being me

In troubling times

As I try to unwind
You set me free

I'm a little bit rusty

So many things are on my mind

My Lord, please forgive me

I'm just a little bit rusty

A Hand from Above

Like castles of sand

Whispers in the wind
We rise only to fall
Struggle to listen

Storm clouds gathering

Amidst voices of despair
Hearts rising in conflict
Smoke billows in the air

Castles washed away

Whispers are silenced
Yet life continues on
In shadows of violence

Like grains of sand

Carried out to sea
Settled to the depths
For all of eternity

United we will stand

Truth bonded by love
Molded grains of sand
With a hand from above

The Son of Man

Seeing, dreaming, feeling you

Thinking, hearing, sensing too

Longing, singing, praising you

Source of truth sustaining me

The rhythm of my heartbeat

I see you when people smile

Dream of you while I sleep

Feel you in a lonesome heart

Seeking you to be set free

I trust in you.....rescue me

Lord, I think of you every day

Hear you speak when I pray

Sense your love absorbing me

You are the joy of my life

I surrender my life to thee

I long to be held in your arms

Sing praises amidst the stars

Praise the beauty of flowers

The work of your gentle hands

Praise to you...the Son of Man

One in the Lord

Coming from different places

Is not a choice of our own

Yet we share many graces

The greatest....being born

There are labels placed on us

Some seen and some unseen

In the end we return to dust

So let's live out the dream

Let everyone live in peace

Sharing love with our families

Extending a hand to a friend

Is all that matters in the end

Forget about every division

Rules of the powers that be

We're all the children of God

We need to live in harmony

Coming from different places

Sharing heaven sent graces

Live our lives in one accord

Different...Yet, one in the Lord

Do I Speak the truth

What will I do to be closer to you

Am I willing to loosen the chains

The forces keeping me from truth

It's time...what am I willing to do

Face to face with pain everyday

Fighting on every step of the way

A weakened man in love with you

It's time...what am I willing to do

Turning from all the worlds vices

Running away from lustful things

Recognizing the price that is paid

Is followed up by sweeter things

What will I do to seek out truth

Freed from the bondage of things

It's time...what am I willing to do

I love you...do I speak the truth
