You Capture Me
I was thinkin' of the space, a distant time familiar place, when you gave your smile to me.
I was sittin' there along, thinkin' of a town and home to share memories.
When you called me on the phone, invited me to go and roam this city wild and free.
You capture me
You capture me
And then children came and grew, stories told by me and you, skinned knees broken hearts.
There were many times it seems racin' back and forth in dreams, chasin' blowin' leaves.
Even as the years have passed there's no one now or in the past that moves me the way you do.
Time emortal time will tell what height my love will take for you.
You capture me
You capture me
You capture me
You capture me
A Family Man
A family man who loves his daughter,
makin' his home by the sea.
Another day he'll find his way,
bettin' on daylight in the mornin'.
Maia was heard to sigh
stay with me my friend
please don't end
let's play ball in the mornin'.
Sniffin' his fadin' breath
she curls up there beside him,
till the end
Maia with her best friend.
Should she wait the time is late
he's bloviatin' in the darkness.
Enterin' in her prior grin
disappears in a moment, moment.
Lisa was heard to cry
stay with me my friend
please don't end
let's take a walk in the mornin'.
Holding his cooling hand
she curls up there beside him,
till the end
Maia with Lisa and there best friend.
A family man who loves his daughter,
makin' his home by the sea.
Another day he found his way
bettin' on daylight in the mornin'.
I'm Doin' Fine
Groovin' in the splendor
Nare stop and render in my mind, empty in my soul divine
Never thought it mattered
External piety is mine, pass the bread I'll pour the wine
I know the way
But not today
I'm doin' fine
Away from Me, stranger to My eyes
Great pretender
Remember me, always glee, one for all or two for three
Never thought it mattered
Superficially is my mark, fly away as a lark
O come, yeild to His grace, can't you see
O come, bask in His face, be set free today
Livin' in His splendor
Pasused to render there in my mind, filled my empty soul divine
Now I know it matters
Internal piety is mine, with you my friend we'll sup the vine
I know the way
I turned today
I'm doin' fine
Come near My friend, precious in My eyes
I Will Sing Over You
I will sing over
I will sing over
I will sing over you
Wake me please, allelujah
Calm my mind, allelujah
I will sing over
I will sing over
I will sing over you
Use my life, allelujah
May they know, allelujah
Ooooo, in Your presence
Ooooo, I am free
Water flows, allelujah
May You show, allelujah
Ooooo, in Your presence
Ooooo, I am free
In Your presence, I call to You,
call to You
You will answer me, please answer me,
answer me today, today
I will sing over
I will sing over
I will sing over you
So It Seems
Sunday night came to fast
Let’s raise another glass
Tomorrow morning I’ll be in line
Boarding that 6:09
Rental cars and sketchy bars
Hotel clerks who act as jerks
I’m Livin I’m Livin
I’m livin the dream, so it seems
Boss man says I’m in line
For an award at this time
Get me ten boy and it’s yours
Forget about those weekend chores
Another year has come and gone
Some might say that I went wrong
I’m Livin I’m Livin
I’m livin the dream, so it seems
Remember His ways as you plan your
days, He sovereignly reigns over all
Youthful years converted to tears
Wisdom is known by her deeds
I’m Livin I’m Livin
I’m Livin I’m Livin
I’m Livin I’m Livin
Portlandia
There is a land out west
Rivers to the sea
Majestic mountain to the east
The place to be
For all to see
Promises made to you
Never could be
Elusive Utopia
The place of fools
Turned to despair
Portlandia
Tarnished by deceit
Portlandia
Your rose lifeless
In the street
There’s two paths before you
The Garden’s lost
It’s nowhere to be found
Consider the truthful ways
Of sin and death and hope and
Rest and when you slept at night
Consider soon your ways
The suns is drawing low
Soon twilight visits you again
The breaking glass
The screams from below
Portlandia
Tarnished by deceit
Portlandia
Your rose lifeless
In the street
Tonight
Ridin' in my pickup truck
We’re on our way
Plenty to say
Girl I love you
I’d walk a country mile
Crazy to see you smile
I’m dizzy for you
Girl I love you
Ooooo I want you
Ooooo I need you
To want me too tonight
Baby tonight
Hear in this country town
I’d like to settle down
Raise a family
Girl I love you
Provide for you a place
Acreage lots of space Palomino’s
Girl I love you
Ooooo I want you
Ooooo I need you to want me too
Tonight in your arms of love
I give you all I am
With you in a secret place
Lost in your embrace tonight
Baby tonight
I hear them talkin’
Boy keep walkin’
Don’t matter to me
Girl I love you
I know that you’re the one
Kiss me we’re on the run
We’ll make it through
Girl I love you
Corona Blues
Look out your window
Who can you see on your street now
It goes on...it goes on...it goes on and on and on
People isolated
Aching to be set free now
It goes on...it goes on...it goes on and on and on
Rulers in high places
Who thrives and who cries
Unwashed masses
Who lives and who dies
Justice belongs to
Calvary where mercy meet
It goes on...it goes on...it goes on and on and on...until the Dawn
I'm Here For You
How can I express the love I feel inside
The years have gone so fast you by my side
And here we are today in a world that’s gone astray
I’ll stand beside you come what may because
You are the love of my life
My closest friend you’re my wife
I’ll always shield you my friend from the strongest wind in our lives
I’m here for you for you
Hurtful words I spoke in fear and anger
They don’t mean a thing I wear your ring
Please forgive your man for I’ve drifted from His hand
I’ll stand beside you come what may because
Where Has Love Gone
Never thought it’d come to this
Confusion mass delusion
As I gaze into your eyes you’re terrified
Waring factions fill the streets relentless
Angry tweets never ceasing
Win a cause at any cost regardless of
Our loss all forsaken now
Rage can’t understand psychosis
Our diagnosis
Watchin city streets mystified
Politicians sow discord no longer one
Accord fueling hatred
Revolution’s in the air a nation in
Despair time is fading
People listen to his cry Wisdom bids
You why? Where has love gone?
Come together once again greet
Each other as a friend a house
Divided will not stand
Obsession blinds the mind numb to the
Cares of another
In your hands is love or hate which
Will you make
Gazing long upon your lights from silver
Wings of flight no distinction
Will we heed the ancient song it’s time
We get along or face destruction
Day By Day
Day by day I laid
Next to you a million miles away
Empty smiles I gave
Laughter hid the pain I felt inside
Reachin out to you
In dreams unable to abide
Searchin for the words to let you know I’m dying inside
Aching to be forever young
Day by day you wake
Alone in the world without my face
Devastation flows
Waves of sorrow flood your broken heart
Reaching out for me
An empty pillow ever by your side
Searchin for the words to capture
Your emptiness inside
Aching to be forever young
Lookin back so many words to say
Just to see your face even for one more
Day rememberin when we were young
Day by day I pray you found the peace That wouldn’t let you stay
Let streams of mercy flow
To gently caress your weary soul
Reachin out to you in dreams
Unable to abide
Livin in the truth you’ve crossed
To the other side prayin you’ll be
Forever young forever young forever Young
Even If I Could Have
Even if I could have
Even if I tried
Walk my way to you girl
To the other side
Too far away to hold you
Photos fill my mind
I’m coming back to you girl
My peace of mind
In my dreams you’re always near to me
In your arms is where I want to be
Can’t you see it’s true
Hey Hey Hey
It’s time you understand
The path we walk in this life
Is in His hands
A tapestry of weavers
Hard to understand
I’ll see you later tonight
I’ll hold your hand
In my dreams you’re always near to me
In your arms is where I want to be
Can’t you see it’s true
I want to be with you
Please want me too
Oh dreamin of life with you
Slowly we recover
Often with a scar
Riddles of our journey
Kept in a jar
Many years to ponder
soon become a maze
Unraveled in the mystery
Of His loving gaze
Psalm 46:4-7
There is a river
Whose streams shall make glad
The city of God the holy place
Of the dwelling of the Most High
God in the midst of her
she shall not be moved
God shall help her
just at the break of dawn.
The nations made an uproar
The kingdoms tottered
He raised His voice the earth melted
The LORD of Hosts is with us
The God of Jacob is our stronghold
The LORD of Hosts is with us
The God of Jacob is our stronghold
Corner of My Heart
I can’t tell you why I walked away
I left you sitting there
I should have walked back to you
But my pride got in the way
If I could capture the sands of time
Or stop the aging of the young
You’d forever be in my life
Safe in the corner of my heart
Can you hear me my love
Calling to the corner of my heart
If it pleases you my love
I’ll dwell in the corner of your heart
Seasons change we arrange our lives
Distant memories not forgotten
Still alive but silenced
Faces from places undisclosed
In the misty morning memory
Beyond the meadows glowing hew
Yesterday is but a shadow
Of when I first set eyes on you
Innocent Girl
An innocent girl dreams in her heart
Vulnerable right from the start
He promised her his only
Key to his heart solely
Goin home she’s torn apart
Goin home it’s a fresh start
Goin home she’ll mend her heart
Goin home it’s a fresh start
She likes the bright lights big city charm
Assured his nature will do her no harm
Promised her daddy security
Abandoned her in a desert town
Goin home she’s torn apart
Goin home it’s a fresh start
Goin home she’ll mend her heart
Goin home it’s a fresh start
Forged in the furnace adversity
Wiser now in her liberty
Captivated possibilities
The path to choose not with ease
Goin home she’s torn apart
Goin home it’s a fresh start
Goin home she’ll mend her heart
Goin home it’s a fresh start
You are only as happy
as your unhappiest child
Goin home she’s torn apart
Goin home it’s a fresh start
Goin home she’ll mend her heart
Goin home it’s a fresh start
The Web
I can’t tell you what you don’t know
‘Cause it would hurt ya baby
The lie I’m livin ain’t worth givin
You up now baby
Yet I walk in darkness now
Wonderin if you’ll see through me now
The struggle I’m facin is racin
In my mind night and day now baby
Addictions power got me livin in
Deceptions hour
Chains of pride keep haunting me
I keep rejecting humility
There’ll come a day when you walk away
Tired of all my lies and missplaced trust
I’ve lost you now tangled in the web of
The bed that I have made
You’re gone this time
Now I’m livin
Consequences of poor decisions
The devils playground
Many a man has been taken down
Guard your eyes and your heart
The enemy of souls can tear you apart
There’ll come a day when she walks away
Tired of all your lies and missplaced trust
You've lost her now tangled in the web
Of the bed that you have made
She's gone this time
Changes
You promised me I would be free
Break these chains of sin and death
to walk with You
Changes take me by surprise
I better stop and look into
My Savior’s eyes
I promised You I’d live for You
Now and forever into the blue
Changes take me by surprise
I better stop and look into
My blindside
There was a day I said "No Way!"
Now I’m out in the desert
Cant find my way
Changes take me by surprise
I better stop and look into
My compromise
Took me by surprise
Just when I think I’m strong
Accuser comes along for me
Humbled by night Your Word is right
A lamp to my feet and a light to my path
Changes take me by surprise
I’d better stay close to You
The Way the Truth the Life
There’ll come a day I’ve gone away
Don’t fret or cry for me
I’m with my Savior
Changes take me by surprise
I’ll have eternity to praise You
Jesus my Lord
Casa Perlita
Warm sun on my face
Everything about this place
Makes me want to stay longer
The call of summer skies
Warm berry pies
Gonna miss it here
But it won’t be years
Casa Perlita
My home far away
Stay awhile with me today
Casa Perlita
I’m coming home to you
Wait for me until I do
Now is for today
Then we fly away
Makes me want to say louder
Tomorrow is agleam
Distant as a dream
Wanna meet you there
Wipe away your tears
Casa Perlita
My home far away
Stay awhile with me today
Casa Perlita
I’m coming home to you
Wait for me until I do
