Singing Sweet

Sometimes she sings loud
And seems too strong and proud.
But always, always singing sweet!

1. When the thunder rolls
And flood rains drench the land,
We wonder why the Mother
Has to force her hand.
But after rain is sun
And after clouds a bow,
In every storm a reason
Greater than we know.

Sometimes she sings loud
And seems too strong and proud.
But always, always singing sweet!

2. When death comes to call
And take our love away,
We wonder why the Mother
Couldn’t let them stay.
But through the grief is peace
‘Cause every part is whole.
We’re safe within her keeping,
Every single soul.

Sometimes she sings loud
And seems too strong and proud.
But always, always singing sweet!

3. When we’re down so low
And cannot stand the hurt,
We wonder why the Mother
Lets us feel like dirt.
We ask her for a sign
Of all-embracing Love,
Before, behind, within us,
Under and above.

So we can sing it loud,
Stand tall and strong and proud,
And always, always singing sweet!

Sing your Spirit loud,
Stand tall and strong and very proud,
And always, always singing sweet!

It Took You

It took you to do that for me.

1. You got me to talk when I wouldn’t,
And you got me to smile when I couldn’t.
They say for everyone there’s a special one to love.
I believed and now I see it’s true.
Refrain:

2. You got me to sing through the trials,
And you got me to skip across the miles.
Everything’s the same, but my point of view has changed.
The llight is shining bright between us two.
Refrain:

‘Cause I couldn’t understand the perfection of the plan
Until love revealed the mystery through you!
Refrain:

It took you to do that for me.

Refrain:
[And] it took you
To show me proof
That dreams really do come true.
It took you to do that for me.
It took you to do that for me!

The Real Deal

Eternal Love

Centered in the Storm

I wrote these lyrics while I was fasting and praying for those affected by hurricane Irma last Sunday, 9/10/17. My prayers continue for those who were injured, who lost loved ones, and who are still without electricity and other things that have become essential. And may we all be thankful for all the good things and people in our lives, and not take them for granted.

Wind so wild and raging,
Rains are pouring down.
Let Your children rest in
The peace that’s Yours alone.

‘Cause You know all Your children
By name and so much more.
Please show Your grace and peace O Lord,,
Centered, centered in the storm.

News of devastation,
Everything at stake.
Still Your love is stronger
Than any storm that breaks.

‘Cause You know all Your children
By name and so much more.
Please show Your love and power,
Centered, centered in the storm.

“We don’t know Your purpose
Or understand Your ways.
Guide us and protect us;
Thy will be done,” we pray.

‘Cause You know all Your children
By name and so much more.
Please help us sing Your praises,
Centered, centered in the storm.

‘Cause You know all Your children
By name and so much more.
And life is for Your glory,
Even centered in the storm.

For You are centered in the storm.
Centered in the storm,
You are centered in the storm.

Think of Me

1. Think of me with a smile on my face
Looking out of a peaceful place.
While you’re running a crazy race,
Take a rest,
Do your best;
Think of me.

2. Think of me when you hear the birds sing
Songs of great opportunity,
Flying into a cloud of dreams.
Lift your eyes
To the skies;
Think of me.

Refrain:
Like a star that shines at night,
I want to make this world bright!
‘Cause even just a tiny spark
Can light a candle in the dark!

Repeat from beginning.

3. Think of me at a quiet time,
Finding beauty and making rhymes.
There is goodness in all mankind.
When in doubt,
Look about;
Think of me.

When in doubt,
Look about;
Think of me.
(twice)

Lyrics

I am changed and all because of you.

1. Every happiness I found was fleeting at its best.
But now I have a joy complete that keeps me feeling blessed.
Refrain:

2. Piece by piece my peace of mind just crumbled like a wall.
But deep within I nestle in the greatest peace of all.
Refrain:

3. Love was all I asked for, but no answer fit the bill.
My question heard the truth in you, and every need fulfilled.
Refrain: (Twice)

I am changed and all because of you (2x).

Refrain:
Oh you have changed my world
In every shape and form.
You took all the old and made it new.
You have changed my life,
Turned the darkness into light,
And you washed all the lies away with truth.
I am changed and all because of you.

Too Right to Be Left

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
–Luke 12:6-7 (NIV)

Refrain:
[You’re] too right to be left, you know.
God doesn’t let you here to let you go.
The One who made you one made it so
You’re too right to be left.
Baby, you’re too right to be left.

1. God knows the sparrows and He sees each one is fed.
He knows the number of the hairs upon your head.
He thinks enough of you to wake you in your bed
‘Cause you’re too right to be left.
Refrain:

2. God gives His Word to share, and share His Word I do.
If I can ask one thing, I ask to live the Truth.
The breath He breathes in me is miracle and proof
That I’m too right to be left.
I’m
Refrain:

3. God takes my love and gives me love in you to stay.
I praise His perfect grace and goodness every day.
I put my trust in Him and trust He leads the way,
‘Cause we’re too right to be left.
We’re
Refrain: (Twice)

Baby, you’re too right, too right to be left.

Love Alone Is Real

If you received this post by email, click the URL to hear this song.

And now abide faith, hope, and love, these three. But the greatest of these is love.*

1. Faith is the stuff of things that you want,
But right now you cannot see.
And faith is the seed that lets you believe
When you ask you will receive.
But whoever would say you only need faith
Is just giving you part of the deal.

Refrain:
The angels rejoice at hearing the voice
Of our Father ever near.
Our God above is a God of love,
Because love alone is real.

2. Hope is the spark that lights up the dark
As it kindles in your soul.
And hope is the thing with feathers that sings,**
And it never stops at all.**
But whoever would say that hope is the Way
Is just giving you part of the deal.
Refrain:

3. Love isn’t blind. It chooses to find
What is good and leave the rest.
And love isn’t dumb. It lets you become
All you could to be your best.
And whoever would say that love’s a cliche
Is just giving you part of the deal.
Refrain: (Twice)

Love alone is real (2x).

* 1 Cor. 13:13 (NASB)

Emily Dickinson.
