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 alone

thinkin' of a town and home to share

memories.

When you called me on the phone

invited me to come 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', browin' leaves.

Even as the years have past

there's no one now or in the past

that moves me the way you do.

Time immortal time will tell

what hight my love will take for you.

You capture me

You capture me

You capture me

You capture me

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

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

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 

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

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

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

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

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 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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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
