They Shall Be One

When The Lord called to His angels
there was thunder from the throne
He said there is a child of mine down there
who's been too long alone
So He called one precious angel
out from all the rest
He said I'm sending you my child
for you're my very best
Now there are no words to say how much
to Him this child was worth
for The Lord to send an angel here
to walk upon this earth
And then when they were married
there was thunder from the throne
He said you see my child now
no longer is alone
Do harken to my story
for we all know that it's true
that God does answer prayer you see
there is nothing He can't do
Now I know this precious angel 
who lives a mortal's life
for I was that lonely child of His
and that angel is my wife

Window of My Soul

A floodlight burns from deep within
    where shadows dirst not go
      And it's been there since the day He 
      knocked
    upon the window of my soul
      I've come to change your life my son
    is what He softly said
      As I peered out and saw His Light
    and my sins 'neath crimson red
      I'll warm your heart, remove the dark
    and fill you with my light
      If you'll but open up the door
    the one there  to your right
      So I unlocked and learned to walk
    and arose there from below
      All because my Savior knocked
    upon the window of my soul

Last Ride

Eighteen wheels roll down a highway
on the other side of time
where a dark and ghostly shadow moves
along the centerline
As he rolls across tomorrow
through that final border town
hear the distant fading thunder as
he puts the hammer down
Where there no ropes or fences
no more dispatch on the phone
just a free and easy spirit
on his final journey home
He'll never face another heartache
he'll not shed another tear
now reaching out through destiny
he shifts his final gear
As he rides beyond the sunset
he waves his last goodbye
and now he rolls across forever
on that highway in the sky!

Judgement Day

We often not, know reasons why
    as wrong abounds and good souls die
      But they will pay for evil done
    on judgement day, in kingdom come
      Where they shall feel the hurt and pain
    for all the loved ones they have slain
      For those now gone, no hurt, no pain
    for each tear they've cried is now a rose
      For the heavy hearts of souls left here
    we pray the Lord, holding near
      For He will bottle each tear drop
    and no, not one, is shed for naught
      He'll soon reach out with His Right Hand
    bring love and peace upon our land
      Rejoin us all, again once more
    rejoice we will for sorrows bore
      So let us kneel and let us pray
    justice prevail, on judgement day
                                              Diesel Dan

The Spirit of Christmas

The mountains majestic 'neath the mid winter sky
there was a peace in the air for Christmas was nigh
    The valley serene as he gazed there below
and saw the sparkle of lights through the fresh 
falling snow
    He traveled alone as he had through the years
over thousands of miles through his sorrows and tears
    He was just thirty when he lost his dear wife
so tragic and and to precious young life
    Though he knew that one day that one day
that his time would come
that he would see her again and again they'd be one
    Now tomorrow was Christmas said the lights across town
and time for some rest 
to lay himself down
    The lights of a diner appeared in the night
so he let off the throttle and eased to the right
    He sensed something different as he walked through
the door
there was a peace in the air and a cloud near the door
    A silver haired sat there by himself
said the cups are up there to your right on the shelf
    He poured him a cup and sat across from the man
and noticed the scars on his hands
    He though who is this man and where is this place
why all this peace when I look on his face
    As he pondered the thought the gent spoke again
I've something to share is how he began
    I've watched you my son since I first gave you life
Know the love that you shared with your beautiful wife
    I held your heart in my hand as it shattered in two
and cried along with you when she was taken from you
    Yet I noticed you didn't put life on a shelf
for over the years you gave of yourself
     You tended the needy the sick and the lame
and though you were lonely you gave just the same
     You've shown to others what givings about
and many a time that you went without
     The spirit of giving is not in the gift
but what's in your heart when others you lift
     So humbly he listened to the words of this man
when on his right shoulder he felt a warm hand
     All the love he was feeling all the peace and the grace
were revealed in his tears as he gazed on her face
     The midnight has passed now and morning has come
for these twenty four hours you two shall be one
     Each year on this day tis what I will do
as you've given to others I give unto you.

Love's Rose

I had a dream about a lady,a precious little rose
with soft blue eyes that sparkles and a smile so warm it glows
With her I foud the universe complete with moon and stars
then all the rest of heaven,beyond the planet Mars
Where I tasted pure sunlight,saw sounds I never heard
and held onto a moonbeam,felt the meaning of a word
I had a rainbow wrap around me as I held this tender rose
inside a starlight's twinkle where love forever grows
My prayers I knew were answered,when I saw you in the light
all I had ever dreamed about was there in flowing white
As we soared across the universe,you set my world aflame
and from now until forever,I will never be the same
I have never held such tenderness,felt a heart so warm and kind
the seed you planted in my soul,now blossoms in my mind!
                                                                                        Diesel Dan

Our Wedding Day

Though we have no expectations
we're committed to our love
as we stand upon life's altar
before the Lord above
Oh blend us Lord together
'neath the heavens and the sun
each heart unto the other
'til we become as one
And in thy mighty power Lord
set angels 'round about
to seal our love forever
and to keep the world without
Then across the mighty heavens write
for all the world to see
all you have placed within our hearts
a love that comes from thee

Angel In the Wilderness

I rolled across the river
the mighty Rio Grande
and breathlessly I gazed upon
the beauty of our land
The vastness of the canyons
and desert color's bright
'neath that lantern ever glowing
that sheds on us it's light
Then later gazed the heavens
at those dots across the sky
the moonbeams on the water
as the river drifted by
There's a peace within my spirit
in the stillness of the night
I hear the whisper of an angel's wing
somewhere beyond the light
As the miles wash across my soul
and shades begin to fall
I sense the presence of a lady 
and beckon to her call
Her spirit drawing closer
within I feel a glow
Midst the essence of an angel
is a love I've come to know

Another Season

I heard the mist of autumn as it whispered to the sun
               'tis time to paint the summer,another season has begun
                    Then The Author of the universe,like thunder here below
               announced to summer's ember,it's time for you to go
                     Set the trees ablaze with color,another season has begun
                and blend them with the heavens beneath the midnight sun
                      Whatever be the reasons,within each heart we know
                 as like the mighty rivers,all life through time must flow
                       Then I heard the fading summer,as it whispered to the sun
                  my yesterdays have passed away,another season has begun!
                                                                                                       Diesel Dan
