They created for us a child

Soothed you were by twinkling stars
In a crib that faced...

The Guardian
		Melodic lullabies echo	
		As heart strings strum secret chords
		As transcendental images appear
		Stargazers are lost for words
		Kaleidoscopic Illuminations
		Paint the sky in optimistic light
		Hope descends in serene silence
		Floating through shadows of the night
		Dancing spirits move to dulcet...

The tear shaped raindrop as it Plops splattering upon a leaf 
Forming a stream that rushes as a river from source to mouth 
Once...

High above, through the clouds I see 
Snow covered mountain peaks. 
High above I soar inside a gentle, 
Calming atmosphere of peace. 
I do wonder at times why I am so free 
To that and...

Christmas time is here again. 
And the snow falls to the ground. 
It hasn't been that long ago. 
Since last years came around. 
The seasons sneak up on us in no time at all.

His face was old and rugged 
From the rough life that he had lived 
The bottle lead him to this...

With every note there comes a motion 

With every motion another note 

Simultaneous facial expressions form 

From harmonious melodies the guitarist wrote 

He unselfishly shares his immensely sharp talent 

With patrons he lovingly calls friends...

I was asking a friend just the other day 
If there was anything he'd do to help me on my way 
He said he'd like to but I was asking to much 
All that stuff...

I can take my nose off my face and put my it between my fingers 
It does not drip, or sneeze, nor do boogies linger. 
I can also put my nose back. 
Nobody else I...

The words He spoke fell upon my ears and rang throughout my mind. 
The words did echo a joyous sound within my head's confines. 
His words wiped clean my slate of wrongs and calmed my...

This road is long and road is long and rocky 
Like others Ive been on 
At times its paved with silver and gold 
And sometimes its a muddy mess 
But whether its smooth or rocky...

I was feeling just fine, or so I reckoned.
As I climbed the spiral staircase to where, I just don't know 
I do know that it felt so great. 
As I considered my lofty climbing rate.

Stop and listen to God's Nature. 
A thing of beauty worth waiting for 
The wind as it sweeps through the high mountain peeks 
The Ocean as its waves crash upon beaches sandy white 
Birds as...

I was just a little tyke and don't know what I'd missed 
She was only five years old and I a grown...

Who is this guy that sneaks around lightly
Then slinks behind his desk so quietly
He just sits at his desk and pretends to take calls. 
But I noticed he actually does nothing at all.

Could it be that it is in the hills or maybe by the sea. 
In the hills where the eagle soars and the white tail runs. 
And I...

To want someone to hold her tight 
To comfort her when the bad dreams arive 
In the cold and the darkness of night 


The sweet loving smile of a...

Without you around to hold 
Bliss, sweet bliss would slip away 
And oh how my heart would grow old 


And without you my poor heart would break 
And...

When the days of summer seemed so long 
And the dirt road was my path 
I'd find pop bottles by the side of the road 
Thrown from cars as they roared past 

 
I'd collect...

To tell us of His love for all 
And teach us how to forgive our fellow man 
To lend a hand to those who might stumble and fall 
The mission...
