Advent 2017 week 3.
Refrain:
[So] turn the Christmas key;
Unlock your mind and heart.
Open up the doors,
And let love fill every part.
Use your Christmas key
To touch another soul,
‘Cause love’s the only key
That makes everybody whole.
1. Love is born to save,
To comfort and forgive.
It lights the path of grace,
So each one of us may live.
Refrain:
2. Love is born to care,
An undeserved embrace,
And we are here to share
The beauty of His face.
Refrain:
3. Love isn’t just a Child
Born many years ago.
He is the living Christ,
Releasing every soul.

For Aaron.
Advent 2017 week 2.
1. I heard a baby’s laughter as a child;
I wondered why it made my heart so light.
But as I grew I came to realize,
A baby is an angel come to life.
Refrain:
2. I had a little baby of my own,
So humbled by the miracle of birth.
But he was more than just my precious son,
An angel sent to teach me love on earth.
Refrain:
3. Another living, tender baby boy
Who came to us so many years ago
Still fills our open hearts with peace and joy;
He warms this world that suffers in the cold.
Refrain:
OOO keep our Savior cradled in your heart (2x).
Refrain:
That little ray of hope and faith,
Of purity and love,
The joy that nothing can replace,
A blessing from above.
No matter what the future holds,
The present is the start,
So keep this baby cradled in your heart.

Welcome to this Advent season! This song is about the mystical star that lights our path from within, each and every day.
1. The dark of night surrounded me.
No dawn would come to set me free
Until my Spirit found the key
That lights my way to you.
Refrain:
2. A soul in torment, stress and pain
Can find the strength to love again.
For burning brightly is a flame
That lights my way to you.
Refrain:
3. For every person everywhere,
There’s love enough in Christ who cares.
He lived and died, our cross to bear
And lights my way to you.
Refrain:
God lights my way to you.
Refrain:
A blazing star that shows the way,
It makes the night as bright as day.
It puts the pathway on display
And lights my way to you.
It lights my way to you.

Be an instrument of love.
1. When love has waited for so long,
The world can drown its hopeful song.
But when it’s right it sings along,
For love makes music of its own.
Refrain:
2. When two hearts join in harmony,
They trust each other and believe.
They beat as one through everything,
The rhythm of a love so sweet.
Refrain:
3. In whispers soft and music low,
Love calms the mind and soothes the soul.
Caressing with a gentle flow,
A song is born before we know.
So
Refrain: (2x)
Refrain:
Heart, heart, beat your drum.
Voice, voice, sing your song.
OOO mind, mind, give it up,
And be an instrument of love.
Be an instrument of love.

Not your traditional Thanksgiving song, this one is simple–a timely reminder for our fast-paced society. Happy Thanksgiving, at the holidays and always!
1. We wake up each day without thinking,
Except to take the stock of stress and strain.
We get up and go without blinking,
And we miss all the good we have to gain.
And something in our lives has got to change.
Refrain:
2. We move all the time without feeling,
But letting loose a litany of pain.
We curse and complain without healing,
Despite the cleansing comfort of the rain.
And something in our lives has got to change.
Refrain:
3. We breathe and receive God in Spirit.
So let us not forget to praise His name.
His wisdom and Word, we can hear it
When we take the time to go within and pray.
‘Cause He promises to never, ever change.
Refrain:
Give thanks.
Refrain:
Let’s have a great, full heart
And a great, full mind
With a great, full body
Praising God’s design.
And give thanks.
Give thanks.

For Freddy and all veterans, and everyone who offers their selfless service to make this world a much better, brighter, and safer place. May God bless you; thank you for your service!
1. There are raging battles, in the world and in your mind.
And sometimes all you want to do is hunker down and cry.
But you stand and take it, ’cause you know you’re gonna make it.
You might win, or you might lose, but still you fight.
Refrain:
‘Cause you don’t sherk your duty.
You don’t lurk with your bootie
On the dock, waitin’ for a ship to come in.
You just keep it going
And give it all you got while knowing
The God you serve on earth is heaven’s king.
And as long as you live,
Your service means everything.
2. You might be a hero in a uniform.
Or maybe you’re an anchor, giving comfort in the storm.
And you stand and take it, ’cause you know you’re gonna make it.
Oh it hurts, but still you work to keep them warm.
Refrain:
3. We can make the peace in a world that cannot see.
We’re the keepers of the kingdom; in our hearts we hold the key.
So we stand and take it, ’cause we know we’re gonna make it.
God above sent his son to set us free.
So we don’t sherk our duty.
We don’t lurk with our bootie
On the dock, waitin’ for a ship to come in.
We just keep it going
And give it all we got while knowing
The God we serve on earth is heaven’s king.
And as long as we live,
Our service means everything.
As long as you live,
Your service means everything (2x).

1. Why are your feelings so strong?
How do you know what’s right or wrong?
What keeps you together;
What makes you fall apart?
Living by your sweet heart.
Refrain:
2. Why do you lend a helping hand?
How do you choose to take a stand?
What creates your endings;
What drives you from the start?
Living by your sweet heart.

So all you really gotta do
Is let it make your choice
And be your greatest part
Living by your sweet, sweet heart.

So let your mind embrace your
Sweet heart (4x).

And there’s no way to change it.
He gave your best part,
So let your mind embrace it.
Halloween is a classic example of “different strokes for different folks”!
Some Christian communities celebrate it as the feast of All Hallows’ Day: the beginning of the time (Allhallowtide) dedicated to remembering the dead particularly, the saints, martyrs and departed faithful.
On the pagan divide, Halloween is the witches’ New Year, the week of Samhain; a special time in the year when the living and the dead can easily reach out to each other, and a time for change and rebirth! To them, October 31 is the ideal time to consult the spirit world; the Night of Magic! Rituals and special exercises are prescribed to facilitate the process!
For the secular society, Halloween is simply another time for fun and commerce! A time for scary costume parties, playing pranks, guising, jack- o’- lanterns and other forms of weird entertainments.
In all these and other numerous observances, the discerning mind looks…

This song with Celtic flavor is inspired by the Claddagh (see below) and Samhain, the Celtic New Year and beginning of Winter. We still celebrate this festival as Halloween on October 31.
I gave my friendship gratefully;
It blossomed as you cherished me.
And love came softly to my heart;
We blended from the very start.
My loyalty I promised you
In faithful trust and honest truth.
I thank our Lord and God above
For friendship, loyalty and love.
For only God could ever plan
The joining of our hearts and hands.
With Oneness brought to you and me,
We’re blessed beyond our sweetest dreams.
We live for all eternity
In friendship, love and loyalty.
