Like a Song.........

Like a song, like a song in the dead of the night
Your love whispers to me
Above the demons, which seem to delight
In torment and misery
Into my inner heart of hearts
Sweet is the lullaby
Heavenly music; how great Thou art
As Your love flows from on high

Blessed are the poor in spirit, You say
Ah Lord, I am poor indeed
It seems I awake to a brand new day
To suffer a brand new need
Blesses are those who mourn and weep
When will my tears cease to flow?
There are so many who carelessly sleep
Without a Savior, you know
Blessed indeed are the humble and meek
Oh Lord, may I thus be
The spirit is willing; the flesh is weak
And I am so foolish, you see
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst
For things that are pure and right
Oh God, the food of this world is cursed
Guide my appetite
Blessed are the merciful, tender and kind
God, such as You are to me
May I in return help another to find
Your fountain of love rich and free
Blessed are the pure; in this wretched world
So stained with greed and lust
As all the forces of sin are unfurled
Oh God, in Thee we trust
Blessed are the peacemakers, though there may be
Turmoil and endless strife
If we hold His hand there is victory
At the end of this little life
Blessed are you, oh children of men
If you are hated and cursed
As You declare your love for Him…
For someday the last shall be first

Like a song, like a song in the dead of night
You whisper tenderly
Blessed are those who choose to do right
Someday they will dwell with me
Into my inner heart of hearts
Oh what a sweet hope is stirred
As I feel the mercy that never departs
And I hear the love of His word

Matthew 5:1-12

With Me....

I was sitting on my front porch
thinking about you
not aware that you were
close to me.
Thinking and dreaming ,
acting and living all the time.
Now I know that
your with me
like the sun stay’s in the sky
you’re with me
sweet by and by.
You’re with me
I can’t stop believing
your every thing to me
and all I want to be .
You’re with me.
All these people that don’t know you
trying to help people understand.
Thinking and dreaming
acting and living all the time.
Then I know that
your with me
like the sun stay’s in the sky
your with me
sweet by and by.
You’re with me
I can’t stop believing
your everything to me
and all I want to be
your with me your with me
your with me.

Me 'n Alan (Tribute to Alan Jackson)

*Chasin’ Neon Rainbows,
*Riding Buicks to the Moon,
*Midnight in Montgomery
Or *Rainy Days in June
I’ve been there with you….

I’ve *‘Walked on the Rocks you stumbled on’
*Thanked God For the Radio
I’ve *‘Gone Crazy when *Hurtin’ Came Easy
But you simply said, *There Ya Go
and so I did....

When you said *I’ll Try, well I did too
And I whispered, *I’ll Go on Lovin’ You
Singing songs like *Livin’ on Love
*I Wish I Could Go Back and *Strong Enough
You helped me through

*Like Red on a Rose, aw,* Don’t Change on Me
*Everything I Love and *Farewell Party
*Wanted and *Dallas and *Must’ve Had a Ball
And *Who Says You Can’t Have it All?
So I keep on believing....

*A Woman’s Love for *The Little Man
I’ve held it *Right In The Palm of My Hand
*I’ve Climbed the Walls *In a House with No Curtains
*Listened To my Senses in *A Tropical Depression
*If Love was a River.....yes, I would

*Remember When? Oh, I sure do
And *You Are Right Where I Want You
*Too Much of a Good Thing, *Bring on the Night
*Working Class Hero, *That’d Be All right
and it turns out, it was....

*I remember where I was When the World Stopped Turnin’
*You Don’t have to Paint me a Picture of those towers burnin’
An’ I’ve seen a *Bluebird fly away
And we’re all *Works in Progress, we’ll get there *Someday
*When Love Comes ‘Round…..

*Softly and Tenderly, *I’ll Fly Away
*It’s All About Him and *What a Day Yesterday
*Turn your Eyes Upon Jesus and *Summertime Blues
And *I want to Stroll Over Heaven With You
I’ve sung every single one of these with you

Tonight is rainy, bleak and cold
But Alan, your voice is liquid gold
And *Here in the Real World I know one thing
*If I could I Would Love You All Over Again

Okay..I’m an *Itty Bitty Jackson fan.
I esp. like his ballads. The only reason
I’m writing this is because the count-down
Is on for Mar. 30th. Release date for Freight Train
and because I thought it would be fun:):)

How Can I Prove My Love?

You kiss me with the morning sun and draw me from my sleep
Your melody that stirs the dawn revives my weary feet
And as I rise to greet the day I sense Your arms around me
A peace in knowing, come what may Your love will still surround me

I love You, Lord I love You
Oh, what can I do?
To show you that I love You Lord
And prove my love for You?

Within the glistening morning-tide on dew-kissed lake of grass
I hear Your whisper softly guide me down the garden path
To slumbering blossoms in their beds where Your soft Presence stirs them
I join them as they lift their heads in morning glory praising

I love You, Lord I love You
Oh, what can I do?
To show You that I love You
And prove my love for You?

I hear Your glory ringing within the laughing breeze
As I join in the singing of hills and birds and trees
A song of adoration from the whole universe
Reverent exultation to the God of heaven and earth

I love you, Lord I love You
Oh, what can I do
To show You that I love You Lord
And prove my love for You?

Then in the sudden stillness, the hush beyond the song
The answer to the question which we have asked so long
How can we prove we love You, fulfilling your great plan?
He answers in one sentence, “Love your fellow-man”

I love You Lord, I love You
Oh, what can I do
To show You that I love You Lord
And prove my love for You?

Teacher, What is the greatest commandment
in the Law?
Jesus replied, "Love the ord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your mind.
This is the first and greatest commandment.
And the second is like it:
Love your neighbor as yourself.Matt.2236-38

Like There's No Tomorrow

Close your eyes, hold love close, don’t let go
Love is a chance we must all take, don’t you know?
What joy can we give if we fear each tomorrow?
How can we love if we fear loss’s sorrow?
When it comes to love we cannot be choosers
For when it comes to love there are really no losers
So love, love passionately, do not fear its sorrow
But love; love today like there’s no tomorrow

Love is a treasure no one can control
So pour out its measure with both heart and soul
Don’t hold it back for a safer tomorrow
Thus living today in constant sorrow
For love isn’t love til it’s given away
So pour out the love that is in you today
God gives us our dear treasures to borrow
Oh, love them today like there’s no tomorrow

High on a cross He loved while we hated
Suffering loss ‘neath the hands He created
But His deepest loss was our greatest gain
As He taught us to love in spite of the pain
Shadow of Heaven, foretaste of glory
On earth it was written, Loves Greatest Story
So love while you may, in spite of the sorrow
Love, love today like there’s no tomorrow

To never know sorrow we can never love.
To never love we know only sorrow…..
So let’s love today like there’s no tomorrow!
God’s love never fails in the hour of sorrow!

And so we know and rely
on the love God has for us.
God is love. 1 John 4:16

Do you ever fear loving
for the fear of losing????

There is no fear in love.
But perfect love drives out fear,....1 John 4;18
