SPIRITUAL

I Don't know Why

Take him down!
I would have cried.
Take him down!
Don't let him die.
Everybody tells me he hung
because he loves me.
Everybody tells me he hung
so my soul could be free.
But I'm not worth any of his pain.
So why did he come from up above?
Why did they put him in so much pain?
I'm not worth that much love.
I don't know why
he had to give so much.
I don't know why
he had to take so much.



Jesus Is Your Friend

When you're sad and lonely and feel you haven't got a friend,
just remember that Jesus is your friend.
When all your dreams have vanished and you can't find them to mend,
just remember that Jesus is your friend.
When you're standing at that cross road that you can not comprehend,
just remember that Jesus is your friend.
When everything seems to be coming to an end,
just remember that Jesus is your friend.



A Brighter Day

Got some words to say.
Hopefully enough that will do.
It's not a game I'm playing.
What I say is really true.
A brighter day is coming.
All the tears will be wiped away.
Everyone will be humming.
Do you hear what I say?
No more reasons for fears.
No more reasons to worry.
No more reasons for tears.
I wish this day would hurry.
A brighter day is coming.
All the tears will be wiped away.
Everyone will be humming.
Do you hear what I say?



Angels Do Speak

In the distance was a lone cry.
Sounds of someone wanting to die.
I felt a burning pain deep in my heart,
and was lead by a twinkling star.
As I came nearer to the crying sound,
a woman on her knees I had found.
I prayed, Dear Lord, I'm calling on you.
Please let me know what to do.
Then appeared an angel filled with grace.
He smiled and touched my face.
Fear not was words that came.
Peace today will be gained.
But the message that I heard,
was spoken without verabal words.
Then the woman said to me,
your raident angel I do see.
He took away my fear to start,
then gave me peace to fill my heart.



Dancing Angels

I saw moving shadows on the wall.
That didn't scare me at all.
They showed me my reflection in the light,
and pointed out secrets kept tight.
Without even a spoken word,
you're forgiven was what I heard.
With my heart filled with love,
I raised my head to look above.
While singing sweet lullabies,
my voice was heard throughout the skies.
Then many songs of praise for Jesus filled the air,
and I learned that dancing angels aren't really rare.
With knowing our Lord the King,
peace and joy it will bring.
Thank you angels for being everywhere,
and showing me how much you care.



If I Could Fly

If I could fly,
I'd like to have angel wings.
I would go real high,
and faster than a song bird sings.
If I could fly,
I'd go higher than the clouds.
I would go to the end of the sky,
seeking my Lord with a shout.
If I could fly,
I'd go all the way to heavens door.
I wouldn't be shy.
I'd hug and kiss my Lord.
If I could fly,
to meet my loving Lord,
I would gladly die,
and that's for sure.



Talk With Him

Praise Jesus with a great big shout,
even if it's quiet as a mouse.
It's not the outside sounds that count,
but the inside heart beat sounds.
Just give him your best voice.
Quiet or loud, it's your choice.
Let him know you believe in him,
and let him wash away your sins.
Times can get rough and hard,
but Jesus will be here today and tomorrow.
Talk your troubles out with him.
You just might end up with a grin.



Unquenchable Thirst

I drink and drink and drink,
yet my soul is still dry.
I bathe and bathe and bathe,
yet my soul still cries.
I dance in the rain,
yet my soul is still in pain.
I tasted the tears that fell to my lips,
but my soul never even felt the drips.
All that I do is useless to the body,
because my soul needs to drink of something Godly.
My spirit is blind, mute, deaf and dumb,
so how will I know when God comes?
Will I die from this unquenchable thirst,
or will God come and heal my hurt?



A Place

There's a certain place I seek.
A good place indeed.
Somewhere where it's clean,
and the air is sweet to breathe.
Where you can walk on bare feet
and not get burned from the heat.
Somewhere where all the frowns
get turned upside down.
And all that awful pain
somehow seems to escape.
A place to get prayers answered
and make you want to dance.



Crying Angels

They pray all day,
and they pray all night.
Praying for our souls,
trying to put up a good fight.
But we seem to make it hard,
cause we don't listen to their cries.
We just keep on sinning,
forgetting we're the the reason Jesus died.
So the next time you feel
all those drops of rain,
just remember it's the cries
of the angels pain.



From My Heart

I'm tired of always lying,
and all this crying.
Heal my mind.
Please be mine.
I'm feeling so much pain,
and so much shame.
Make my heart a little more tame.
I don't want to be the same.
My crying is sincere.
Let me know if you can hear.
Baptize me with my tears.
Take away all my fears.
Father, it's thee I seek.
Are you in my reach?
I want to be meek.
From my heart I speak.



I Once Saw The Light

I once saw the light,
but now it's not so bright.
I don't feel like I have fallen,
but neither do I feel as tall.
I know he's in my heart,
but I feel like we're miles apart.
I call out his name, Lord, Lord.
But I feel with me he's just bored.
What can I do to make these feelings go away?
I want to walk hand in hand, not go astray.
Here I am Lord.
Please don't be bored.
You're in my heart.
Not miles apart.
Hold me up and don't let me fall.
Let me know I'm just as tall.
Let me once more see the light.
But this time please make it brighter.



THE LIGHT

I hear people talk about walking in light.
They say it's path is beautiful and bright.
How they never lose their way
because the light is always there to stay.
How they never walk alone
because for others it is also shown.
My eyes are wide open and blessed with sight.
As hard as I try,
I just don't see the light.
I stumble and fall,
but I don't see anyone to call.
Lord, please bless me with another sight.
I want to see the beautiful light.
