Make Me Yours

I've been lost for a long time.
Though I was fine with my own rhyme.
I was singing the words in the wrong time.
I guess I thought that I was just fine.

Then I hit face first on the ground
I felt the chains with which I'd been bound
You were helping me come around
So I knew that I had been found

So I decided to open my ears
And then I let go of my fears
I can feel it as your Spirit nears
I ask forgiveness through the tears

He said to me, it's been a while
You tried to hide with guile
I'll take away the taste of bile
if you will walk with me by the mile.

I changed from that day on
I knew that was the one
I put away my life of fun
To become His righteous son

Now I am a changed man
Sin I'm doing my best to ban
I follow Him because I can
And he makes me a real man.

Lord, make me Yours
heal me to the core
When I hit the floor, please
take my sins and sores
Help me become new
Guide me to be who I can be in You
Lord, make me Yours

Lord, I am yours
You healed me to the core
Your open pores take my sins and sores
You helped me become new
You guide me to be who I can be in You
Lord, I am yours.

Was I Enough?

Was I what you wanted?
Was I what you needed?
Did I take the time
to make you mine?
Was I the one
that made you undone?
Was I enough?
or were you too tough?

God's Hand Is In Everything

It's in the death of a father
and in the birth of a babe
It's in the loss of a job
or the promotion or raise
He's in the pain of a lover
and the healing again

God's hand is in everything
It's guiding you, trying you, along the way
God's plan is in everything
He's aware, He cares
He's there, He shares

Skype Hug

Skype Hug - Written 2012. Dedicated to Matthew and Maja Rellaford, my brother and his fiance. We wrote this hip-hop song for them.

It seems like years ago
and yesterday
When we were meant to be
in Hungary
You stole my heart like
a Gypsy Queen.
You had beauty like
I had never seen
You make me feel like
a Russian King
so I'll take the time
to stop and sing.

And so I'll give you a skype hug
Because I can't live without your love.
With every Skype picture,
my heart's a Skype mixture.
A Skype kiss goodbye
and I'll say goodnight.

On the days when I
feel down.
I know with you I'll
feel found.
A hundred of your
soft whispers
Will feel softer than
a cat's whiskers
Our 3 days together will
last forever. . . .



Bridge:
The birds and the bees
I'm weak in the knees
Ever since we met I've been looking for a reason
I'm feeling the sickness of every season . . .

Christmas Day

Christmas Day - Written Christmastime 2011 (song in the works)

It' Christmas Day
and I wake again
to ponder on
the son of man.
The day we celebrate
at last
to praise the babe
born in the past.
He came to earth
so long ago
to take my pain
and heal my sin.
I take the time
to stop again
and offer up
a prayer of thanks.

So I rejoice in the day
that Christ was born to say
Come follow me
so you can see
that I love thee
so you can perfect be.

Another day

Another day - Written 2012

Another day has come again
to pass away
The sun  has come again
to give a ray
The grass is green again
to make my day
The sky is blue again
we want to play.
We frolic in the grass again
and under clouds we lay.
In all our fun we've had again
it makes me want to say
The winter's gone again
to make way for May
To all our friends we see again,
we stop to say hey!
The summer is here again,
and that is okay!
So let's go to swim again
in the pretty bay.

You Complete me

You Complete Me - Written 2012

I made another mistake
the pain you couldn't take
you walked away
before I could say

You make my day
you make the rain go away
You complete me
You are the sea
You have my heart
like a piece of art
You're like a dove
you are my love.
