Lyrics to "Jesus Stepped Down" - Soon to be on YouTube.com

Jesus Stepped Down (c) 2009 James P. Louviere ("Twainman") One night while I was dreaming, Or maybe I was scheming, Or maybe I had eaten some bad fruit, Much to my surprise When I opened up my eyes, Jesus on this Cross Filled the skies!

New Song: Jesus Stepped Down

I hope to post a new song I wrote, "Jesus Stepped Down" in an hour or so. People who know me know I'm sympathetic and accepting of alternative lifestyles, but they know I'm just a regular ol' man who really enjoys being with a female rather than another guy, always have.

The holy time is lonely this year, but I'm glad for someone dear. . . .

There, at the bottom of my bag of tricks, was the old, tried and true, Baltimore Catechism Q and A method! The years... Sign in to see full entry.
