“The Withdrawal”
I wanna withdraw
The world hasn’t been kind
Shelter me, Lord
Help is so hard to find
I wanna hide away
I wanna disappear
No one will be my friend today
Nor tomorrow, I fear
I wanna withdraw
The world hasn’t been kind
Shelter me, Lord
Help is so hard to find
I wanna hide away
I wanna disappear
No one will be my friend today
Nor tomorrow, I fear

“Glorious Sun”
I’m sorry for so many things
In so many ways
So long I lived in error
So many years, so many ways
But what really matters now
I doing what is right
Walking in Your glorious sun
Without the dread of night….

“Do You Love Me More Than These”
I can’t refute skeptic voices
That desire to silence me
It’s just my job to live in peace
And embrace sweet harmony
I can’t answer all the questions
That keep bouncing off my head
But I know that God is good
So look to Him instead
I can’t refute skeptic voices
That desire to silence me
It’s just my job to live in peace
And embrace sweet harmony
I can’t answer all the questions
That keep bouncing off my head
But I know that God is good
So look to Him instead

“A Safe Place”
Here on this hilltop
Under an ancient tree
Overlooking the River
That leads to the sea
This is a safe place
The Dark Lord doesn’t know of
Where I won’t see his face
And pray to Jesus above

“I Would”
I would be happy to love you
I’d love you forever
Sometimes we’d argue
But we’d always be together
I would tell you what’s on my mind
But I’d listen to you, too
I’d consider all your advice
Do my best to do things for you
I would be happy to love you
I’d love you forever

“For You And With You”
I never knew I was empty
Until you filled me up
Changed me ever gently
I’m lifting up my cup
Your presence is my heart’s desire
I need you more and more
Lifting yet ever higher
On eagle’s wings to soar
I never knew I was empty
Until you filled me up
Changed me ever gently
I’m lifting up my cup
Your presence is my heart’s desire
I need you more and more
Lifting yet ever higher
On eagle’s wings to soar

“So Much More Than Lucky”
I’m so much more than lucky
I didn’t get here by chance
I received an invitation
To join in a celestial dance
Lifted above my lowly station
Beyond my sweetest dreams
Or wild imagination
As unlikely as it seems….

“New Man Inside”
There’s a new man inside me now
The old one has gone away
The new man is making changes
To what was once left in decay
The new spirit is sweeping
Through the rooms of my heart
Only the gold is he keeping
All the refuse is made to depart
There’s a new man inside me now
The old one has gone away
The new man is making changes
To what was once left in decay
The new spirit is sweeping
Through the rooms of my heart
Only the gold is he keeping
All the refuse is made to depart

“Fields of Enlightenment”
I came to love you fervently
Alone, just you and me
I learned to show you loyalty
Instead of running free
I trusted you with all my might
When no one else was there
I learned to stand for what was right
When no one really cared
I came to love you fervently
Alone, just you and me
I learned to show you loyalty
Instead of running free
I trusted you with all my might
When no one else was there
I learned to stand for what was right

Hope burns like a flame
Deep inside this heart of mine
Even when nothing stays the same
Nothing can change my mind
No matter what power’s over me
No one is greater than Christ
If cancer tries to kill me
I know I will still rise
Deep inside this heart of mine
Even when nothing stays the same
Nothing can change my mind
No matter what power’s over me
No one is greater than Christ
If cancer tries to kill me
I know I will still rise

In a world like this is
A man must have a solace
Of safety that’s all his
A shelter from the tempest
From wars and rumors of wars
From hatred and evil intent
Where a soul can find the stars
Where the heart and knee is bent
A man must have a solace
Of safety that’s all his
A shelter from the tempest
From wars and rumors of wars
From hatred and evil intent
Where a soul can find the stars
Where the heart and knee is bent

Merry Christmas from 1967, 8, or 9. Looking back, it seems my parents had different plans for my life, a.k.a. I never learned to play the guitar. I write poetry, books, and sing 🤔😂

“The Voice”
There’s a voice that leads me
Whispering through the night
The Holy Spirit comforting me
Speaking words of love so right
He tells me I’ll be going soon
Don’t worry about the fare
Just wash your garments, hum a tune
And soon you will be there—

“To Reach Inside”
Maybe I don’t have 10 years

I’m grateful for all Your healing
And how you set me free….
