There is a feeling, yet not a feeling it’s more of a sense, sensitivity to the touch, the joy, the love that flows from the One who knows me as I’ve never been known by anyone He knows my heart, my soul, my spirit the fears I’ve felt, the way I’ve met with darkest days and sunlit praise the gentling truths, the music...

There's a widow that sits beside the seaside The sun shines on her face There’s a morning light that cries and sits beside her place And there is an eye That melts at the touch It’s hidden not much For a fake Did you know the greatest treasure lost Was found at the bottom of a lake The widow sits beside its hand she shall...
