How Bright That Star Must Have Been

This is the first Christmas song I have written, hope you enjoy How Bright That Star Must Have Been Hanging low in the sky that night How bright that star must have been To lead the Wise men to the inn How bright that star must have been And now today that light still shines And it touches the heart of men And it leads us to an altar Where He forgives all our sins How bright that star must have been That led them from afar How bright that star must have been Can you imagine such a star?

Memories of Youth

Memories of Youth Apprehending memories of days when feet were swift Perceiving exquisiteness in dreamy eyes adrift When recollection was secure and did not waver When stout hands clutched firmly and were without doubt braver When matters of the tender heart danced unceasingly Uncontrollably emotions swam an endless sea When all sense of reasoning was lost in splendor With the faith of a Prophet I marched as if to war Without a need for understanding, blindly head-strong With a convenient...

May And December

May and December I saw them last night in the restaurant May and December sitting side by side It was easy to tell they had no want One look told the groom’s eyes were filled with pride The smile on his face, well it told it all I know he thought I was envying him I am sure he must have felt ten feet tall The joy in his cup was filled to the brim She was beautiful her smile filled the room Her features so perfectly carved and framed A class act and so wonderfully groomed As lovely as any flower...

Freedom To Ring

I read where this church was being sued because it's church bells were too loud, these bells have rang for centuries, how sad. Freedom to Ring How in the world could church bells be too loud? How in the world can truth be over told? Such a sweet sound, sweet music for your soul Why would one say this cannot be allowed? How could a heart ever become so cold? How in the world could church bells be too loud? How in the world can truth be over told? A tower of strength that’s made our town proud A... Sign in to see full entry.

Heaven's Babies

Heaven’s Babies Our hearts were so broken that awful day Oh why are some babies called home so soon? Before they can live outside of the womb They never have a chance to learn to pray We never had the chance to see them bloom Our hearts were so broken that awful day Oh why are some babies called home so soon? But not once will we wipe their tears away Not one time will their song be a sad tune One day forever with them we will play Our hearts were so broken that awful day Oh why are some babies...

Tears In The Night

Tears in the Night Late into the night, sleep escapes his eyes Her motionless body covered with shadows Her sweet face lying on the pillow by his side Rain drops gather right outside the window The light from the hallway dances on her eyes His lips so gently moving offering his prayers All alone in the dark, so all alone he cries Remembering back on the day that was just theirs Try as he may the sleep would just not come Things left unsaid and her tears he couldn't disown From the thoughts of...

Montgomery

Montgomery Leave her here upon the hillside amongst the trees And the markers and flowers where the dove did flee The peaceful river flows by and the dogwood blooms Where breathlessly she sleeps in the midst of my gloom My tears only disturb the sweet scene of her rest The leafs are at their richest, the sky at its best The earth at its sweetest, its leaves of gold and red Are falling ever so softly all around her bed Let me go home and leave her in her estate Without a tear; and not looking...

Yellow Butterfly

Yellow Butterfly Yellow butterfly just went flying by... Oh such beauty my Father has bestowed My grateful eye, my heart have followed Fluttering on my soul; tear in my eye I’m found watching; amazed, this ground hallowed Yellow butterfly just went flying by Oh such beauty my Father has bestowed Oh like a plane out of control she flies The taste of her beauty I have swallowed Small thing you say but to me a great prize Yellow butterfly just went flying by Oh such beauty my Father has bestowed My...

Sunday Morning

Sunday Morning Oh Lord my heart sinks low, when I can’t go Nothing sadder than this Sunday morning With no church bells, and no Sunday singing Oh Lord I pray forgive the debt I owe Oh Lord dry all my tears, stop my weeping Oh Lord my heart sinks low, when I can’t go Nothing sadder than this Sunday morning I wish I could be there; my heart you know Ask them to pray for me as they’re praying Look down dear Lord I pray on me below Oh Lord my heart sinks low, when I can’t go Nothing sadder than this...

Tranquility

Tranquility With the smoke coming out of the chimney On this crisp and cool October evening In a trail of lights the stars are shining From this old house I watch tranquility The night view to my soul is so moving With the smoke coming out of the chimney On this crisp and cool October evening All the night long they shine with such beauty On the trees their reflections they are leaving I look into the heavens prayerfully With the smoke coming out of the chimney On this crisp and cool October...
