“Merry Merry-Go-Round”


“Merry Merry-Go-Round”

Day by day we ride around on horses
Up and down and all around the town
We see things from so many forces
We’re riding on a merry-go-round

Merry-go-round… Merry-go-round
Merry-go-round… Merry merry-go-round

Good deeds… Bad deeds
Sometimes there seem to be no boundaries
But there is a way we can see the difference
In what is from evil and what’s from God… on this…

Merry-go-round… Merry-go-round
Merry-go-round… Merry merry-go-round

Day by day God’s love grows stronger
Up and down and all around the town
As we look at God we see His love is longer
Than any ride on a merry-go-round

Merry-go-round… Merry-go-round
Merry-go-round… Merry merry-go-round

“To The Gardener”


“To The Gardener”

Paint some color on my petals
Add a sparkle to my thorns
The color tells of deepest feeling
And of the pain the sparkle warns

Sprinkle your love on my soil
Shine your mercy on my leaves
Guide me gently as I’m growing
And hold my roots as you pull the weeds

Take my fruit so I’m not weary
Prune my branches so more may grow
Splint my weakness so I’m not dreary
And tie your band so all may know

Walk through the garden with a smile
Gaze at all that you have made
Know your labor shines through every mile
Come rest with me underneath the shade

“At The Foot of The Cross”


“At The Foot of The Cross”

At the foot of the cross the ground is even
No one stands higher than the Son
It’s by mercy and grace that we find forgiveness
And at the foot of the cross the battle is won

We’ve got dust on our feet, and no food to feed the people
So many problems we don’t think we can meet
Our Lord is the one to meet all our problems
He wants to be the one to meet all our needs

At the foot of the cross the ground is even
No one stands higher than the Son
It’s by mercy and grace that we find forgiveness
And at the foot of the cross the battle is won

Our teacher washes our feet… So our hearts may be clean
And asks for what we have… So that all may be fed
Our King comes to our heart… to conquer our despairing
He’s proven His love by the blood that He shed

“When Tears Fall”


“When Tears Fall”

I’ve cried through movement… longing for touch
Desperately seeking the love I’ve wanted so much
My emotions won’t be revealed through teardrops in my eyes
Because I thought the teardrops blocked the beauty of the skies

At times the beauty of the skies… has brought sight of reality
As I am taken away from the illusions that torture me
Illusions built on lies… sometimes come from dark of night
As a spirit of fear… tries to take me from the fight

Then the clouds rush in… I loose to illusions… covering the sky
I know I need a friend much stronger than me, to take them from my eyes
As I face the clouds I know… I don’t have to be afraid
Of all the fear and darkness… the shadows have made

With courage from God I cry… let go of desperation
Let tears fall from my eyes… realize the victory cannot stay up in the skies
With this… The strength is here… through God’s sacrifice… made for us all
And with acceptance of the sacrifice… illusions mean nothing at all

“New Doors”


“New Doors”

As I peek through the doors of my mind… I wonder
Will I find anything friendly in the world today
As I open the doors… what will I find??? I wonder
Will I find a friend who wants to play

So many doors to be opened
So many new things to see
So many ways to find what I need
Only through one door will I find… I am free

God show me the door that leads to you… I’ll follow
Give me the strength to hold the key
God take my hand and pull me through… I’ll follow
Open my eyes give me the courage to see

So many doors to be opened
So many new things to see
So many ways to try to find what I need…
Only through one door will I find… I am free

I don’t know what I’ll find beyond the next step
But I’m gonna leave fear behind
I’m going out through the door that’s kept me in despair
I’m gladly going out… to face what I find

“Go Sin No More”


“Go Sin No More”
(John 8:3-11)

“Go and sin no more…”  Such easy words to hear
“Go and sin no more…I’ve tried so hard through the years
“Go and sin no more…The simple words He said
“Go and sin no more…I try to trust but my hearts filled with dread

Death would have been easier to face
My courage had long given up on a holy race
In my mind I could already feel the rocks hit my bones
The pain of hiding can hurt more than any stones
Then I dropped at his feet and saw in His eyes
His strength to hold my fears
The courage to let go of all my tears
Then I listened as my accusers walked away
I heard Him say…

“Go and sin no more…”  Such easy words to hear
“Go and sin no more…I’ve tried so hard through the years
“Go and sin no more…The simple words He said
“Go and sin no more…I try to trust but my hearts filled with dread

How can I fulfill this command
My heart feels so empty… I just don’t understand
After all the pain and trouble I’ve caused
Can’t You see that I’m hopeless and lost
How could You have ever heard my cries
Teacher, please show me how to trust You
Show me the world… Let me see it from Your view
I’ll put my trust in You… And throw my fears away
I heard Him say…

“Go and sin no more…”  Such easy words to hear
“Go and sin no more…I’ve tried so hard through the years
“Go and sin no more…The simple words He said
“Go and sin no more…I try to trust but my hearts filled with dread
