The Valley
Into the woods
Where your heart desires
with brooks and streams
The beauty inspires
Critters scamper
On the forest floor
Finding walnuts and chestnuts
By the score
The air is fresh
With a calming breeze
Love is kindled
amongst the trees
Birds are chirping
Natures song
As you find peace
you close your eyes
You enjoy the sounds
Of
The Valley
Where your heart desires
with brooks and streams
The beauty inspires
Critters scamper
On the forest floor
Finding walnuts and chestnuts
By the score
The air is fresh
With a calming breeze
Love is kindled
amongst the trees
Birds are chirping
Natures song
As you find peace
you close your eyes
You enjoy the sounds
Of
The Valley

The Old Rose City
I remember the summer
I remember the fall
I loved every season
I just loved it all
Now when I look at you
All I can see
Is trash in the streets
And tents between trees
Where is the city
I knew as a kid
Is it gone forever
Or is it just hid
From the parks
To the playgrounds
To the rivers and lakes
I sure miss
This once beautiful place
I remember the fall
I loved every season
I just loved it all
Now when I look at you
All I can see
Is trash in the streets
And tents between trees
Where is the city
I knew as a kid
Is it gone forever
Or is it just hid
From the parks
To the playgrounds
To the rivers and lakes
I sure miss
This once beautiful place

Hope is Alive
My failures are stains on the window panes of my mind
I feel the pain like every grain in the sands of time
Floating in a circular moat of despair
What is this place my heart has found
I can’t seem to get on solid ground
I look for answers as I search my soul
Peace is so elusive
The breath of death is on my neck
As I look for an escape
Everything goes dark and quiet
The mood changes with a calm breeze
The scratch of a match
A candle is lit
The flame dances
I wake from a...
I feel the pain like every grain in the sands of time

Everything goes dark and quiet

Stranger
My pain is a stranger
Who visits at night
The stranger is darkness
While my Lord is the light
So i cast away worry
I say goodbye to my pain
I look for sunshine
In the midst of the rain
If the stranger comes
To your door at night
Let the Lord Jesus
Fight him to flight

Into Your Hands
Into your hands
I put my life
I entrust you
With my soul
Like a never ending river
Through time your word does flow
I want to see your glory
I want to feel your grace
OH Jesus, my savior
My sovereign king
Come into this place
We lift our hands up to you
We sing our songs aloud
Waiting for the day
When we are heaven bound
I put my life
I entrust you
With my soul
Like a never ending river
Through time your word does flow
I want to see your glory
I want to feel your grace
OH Jesus, my savior
My sovereign king
Come into this place
We lift our hands up to you
We sing our songs aloud
Waiting for the day
When we are heaven bound

The Truth
My Lord my God I shall wait on thee
For your ways are beyond my knowing
My lord my God I shall trust in thee
When the winds of change are blowing
Give to me a patient heart
That I may not despair
Give to me your daily bread
So I can feel you there
Look not on my sin and treachery
Or the evil since my youth
Let me just proclaim
The glory of
The Truth

No Doubt
My heart is torn asunder
My sin convicts my soul
The blood of innocence
Forever spilt
For the passion was foretold
In the book we read and ponder
All the mysteries of old
Let the centuries be a witness
To the truth that is so bold
So I put my faith upon his name
And his grace I do behold
Let every man who reads these words
Search himself throughout
And let his final...

The Poets Window
You climb up to a cottage
Way up on a hill
You see the poet sitting
By the window sill
You creep up close
Just like a ghost
To see what he is writing
Time and space melts in place
Your thoughts are joined together
Through the poets window
You see a familiar pain
Deep inside
Strong feelings abide
Teardrops fall like rain

Not a Penny
I stand naked before thee
To present my shame
Beguiled by the serpent
I shall not name
Oh what tragedy
My actions have brought
I ask for the grace
Which cannot be bought
for
Gold and Silver
Is the desire of many
But
Salvation
Will cost
Not even a penny

Bridge of Rope
I went on a journey to save my soul
For my life of sin had taken it's toll
Over mountains and through thick woods
I came upon a bridge of rope
Stretching over the valley of darkness
It would test my faith and hope
The wind howled, the thunder roared
As the bridge swayed to and fro
I could hear the demons Laughing
And taunting me from below
My sin was heavy
My guilt was strong
Hope began...
For my life of sin had taken it's toll

I came upon a bridge of rope

And taunting me from below
My sin was heavy
My guilt was strong

Goodbye
With dignity honor and grace
Let us gather in this hallowed place
To cherish a life and remember a love
To give their soul to the lord above
On this hill, with a glorious view
Rest is provided for those we knew
May the gates of Heaven open wide
Angels with trumpets on either side
It is time for me to say goodbye
And in my heart you shall abide

Soul Fight
I will not fall down
I will not fall back
I will stand my ground
For the next attack
The devil is armed
With misery and grief
I look to the LORD
For my relief
As the devil pounds
At the door of my soul
Almighty GOD
Will keep me whole
