imagine me
upon his knee
a little child so meek and mild
thrilled to visit our dear Santa
in the heart of old Atlanta
such a precocious little child
thrilled to visit our dear Santa
in southern Georgia warm and wild
not in the least my mind beguiled
in the heart of old Atlanta
imagine me
thrilled to visit our dear Santa
a little child so meek and mild
in southern Georgia warm and wild
upon his knee
upon his knee
imagine me

this is my house
death is my spouse
my love is gone and I'm with pain
alone in my arctic abode
my wife now walk a widows road
I don't think I can breathe again
alone in my arctic abode
she passes through my placid plane
if walls could talk; perchance I'm slain
my wife now walk a widows road
this is my house
alone in my arctic abode
from dusk til dawn I haunt her vain
my wife now walk a widows road
death is my spouse
death is my spouse
this is my house

I read Your Word
my soul is stirred
Father God, I present this plea
how can mere words have such impact?
The light comes on and that’s a fact
which puts men’s thoughts to inquiry.
How can mere words have such impact?
You formed the world with “Let there be…”
Christ spoke to winds and calmed the sea
The light comes on and that’s a fact.
I read Your Word
How can mere words have such impact?
unless your Spirit speaks to me
The light comes on and that’s a fact.
my soul is stirred
my soul is stirred
I read Your Word

Strong bonds don't end.
Get a good friend.
Do this and you’ll not be contrite.
Good friends are as precious as gold,
and having them never grows old.
Make a friendship that’s good and tight.
Good friends are as precious as gold.
They’ll get over it when you fight.
You don’t have to be too polite,
and having them never gets old.
Get a good friend.
Good friends are as precious as gold.
They are those who will treat you right,
and having them never grows old.
Strong bonds don't end.
Get a good friend.
Strong bonds don't end!

lovely, is love
wings of a dove
kisses feathery as snowflakes
like heavenly sent sweet magic
lost in an ocean pelagic
ethereal until daybreaks
like heavenly sent sweet magic
but, there are days when the heart aches
and there are days when my world shakes
lost in an ocean pelagic
lovely, is love
like heavenly sent sweet magic
love gives and never ever takes
lost in an ocean pelagic
wings of a dove . . .
wings of a dove
lovely, is love

The dusk gale hides
Still, the kite glides
Sun flares rest on leaves of a tree
Awakening calm at twilight
As horizons grasp the last light
Shadows cling to the children's glee
Awakening calm at twilight
The stars skinny-dip in the sea
And the west-bound sun forms to flee
As horizons grasp the last light
The dusk gale hides
Awakening calm at twilight
A kindled sunset comes to be
As horizons grasp the last light
Still, the kite glides
Still, the kite glides
The dusk gale hides

snowflakes mingling
sleigh bells jingling
under rooftops sparkling with snow
visions of gifts and gingerbread
fill children's dreams, asleep in bed
hoping that Santa soon will show
visions of gifts and gingerbread
unfold on this magical night
as nine tiny reindeer in flight
fill children's dreams, asleep in bed
snowflakes mingling
visions of gifts and gingerbread
with Rudolph's red nose shining bright
fill children's dreams, asleep in bed
sleigh bells jingling
sleigh bells jingling
snowflakes mingling
(Meditative Ballad)
He missed her so
Why did she go?
She thought about him night and day
For it had been a million years
At least it felt that way in tears
But still she loved him anyway
For it had been a million years
Since they first met that Saturday
Upon the garden entranceway
At least it felt that way in tears
He missed her so
For it had been a million years
Since he had seen her slip away
At least it felt that way in tears
Why did she go?
Why did she go?
He missed her so

your world will end
you know the trend
unless you grab the now and run
ensure companies do their share
vote leaders in who dare to care
for this our home under the sun
ensure companies do their share
the work remains, so little done
so sorry it is yours, my son
vote leaders in who dare to care
your world will end
ensure companies do their share
decarbon by the megaton
vote leaders in who dare to care
you know the trend
you know the trend
your world will end

As love abounds
God’s grace surrounds.
We are then cared well, blest indeed
to inspire gratefulness’ delight
while sharing bliss of kindness’ light
our hearts reach out to those in need.
To inspire gratefulness’ delight
we overcome selfishness-greed
our faith enlivens prayer creed
while sharing bliss of kindness’ light.
As love abounds
to inspire gratefulness’ delight
we enjoy every helping deed
while sharing bliss of kindness’ light
God’s grace surrounds.
God’s grace surrounds
as love* abounds.
Titus 3:4 … The kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared.

of grief the dread
here you are dead
the guilt I have I can’t forget
I carry the cross all day long
my heart and mind they’re not so strong
it left me lonely and upset.
I carry the cross all day long
the love I had forced me to act
all my wrongdoings I retract
my heart and mind they’re not so strong
of grief the dread
I carry the cross all day long
life with heartache awfully packed
my heart and mind they’re not so strong
here you are dead
of grief the dread
here you are dead

I miss those days
Yet, I give praise
Memories take me to a place
Reminding of safety and care
Dad's quiet strength was always shared
Leaving endangerment, no space
Reminding of safety and care
God’s amazing grace surrounds me
I miss you so, but now you're free
Dad's quiet strength was always shared
I miss those days
Unspeakable joy left behind
My hero referred to as dad
I cry sometimes, no peace I find
Yet, I give praise
Yet, I give praise
I miss those days

new dawn in sight
peaceful and bright
my heart leaps with joy and delight
visioning lovely days our way
joining friends and family may
occur soon - erasing dark night
visioning lovely days our way,
dream enlivens weary with hope
no more gloominess, don't you mope
live life merrily every day
new dawn in sight
visioning lovely days our way
we are more than ready to cope
live life merrily every day
peaceful and bright
peaceful and bright

Placed Tenth
Little lives plead,
Don’t make them bleed.
God-given gifts, they must be spared,
Let us say no to abortion,
It’s a sin worse than extortion,
Snuffing innocent lives uncared;
Let us say no to abortion,
Expecting love, they’re unprepared
For the cruel deed that has snared,
It’s a sin worse than extortion;
Little lives plead,
Let us say no to abortion,
Their cries for mercy, I have shared,
It’s a sin worse than extortion,
Don’t make them bleed;
Don’t make them bleed ~
Little lives plead.

a signal shown
in silence sown
Searching like strangers in the night
they met each other, a look, a smile.
Angels in the dark, with no guile,
their inner voice directs the light.
They met each other, a look, a smile
He preached the Word with godly might
without reply, no fear, no flight
angels in the dark, with no guile.
A signal shown
they met each other, a look, a smile
She watered seeds, then spoke aright,
angels in the dark, with no guile
in silence sown.
In silence sown
a signal shown
