Oh God 04:07
Oh God Oh God, when You think of me Have I become the man You need me to be? Oh God, have I surrendered all Or am I simply living life outside my call? Do you see me offer mercy Do you see me giving grace Am I a man after Your heart (and) Seeking Your face ? Oh God, when I'm on my knees Do my words ring true or full of hypocrisy? Oh God, what do others see Do I reflect the One who's suppose to live in me? Do they see me offer mercy Do they see me giving grace Do they see me after Your heart (and) Seeking Your face ? Oh God, have I shared Your Word Unashamed to share with those who haven't heard Oh God, if I call You Lord Am I living out my faith past my front door May I the one to offer mercy May I be the one giving grace God, I want to be after Your heart And seeking Your face... Do you see me offer mercy Do you see me giving grace Am I a man after Your heart (and) Seeking Your face ? May I the one to offer mercy May I be the one giving grace God, I want to be after your heart And seeking Your face... Oh God

Calmer of the Storm Are there clouds in your life, they gather And the rain starts to pour Winds are pushing you back and forward Where is safety from the storm Where is safety from the storm Floods are rising, your boat is sinking And the tempest roars You catch a glimpse of a shining beacon And it's coming from the shore And it's coming from the shore Jesus is drawing you nearer A safe harbor for sure Find rest in His arms of refuge He is the calmer of the storm He is the calmer of the storm He's walked on water, He's calmed the sea No matter life's weather, He hears our every plea, our every plea Til the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more Till the clouds roll forever from the sky Hold me fast, let me stand, in the hollow of His hand Keep me safe til the storm passes by

For sometime now I lived between back East and Dodge Deep in debt I would have bled gold from a demon’s vein When a sharp dressed man came up and said “I’ve got what you need I’ll pay your ticket if you join me on this here train” (was this my escape ?) Whoa..oh…and the train went rolling out Those on board looked lifeless yet alittle rough When I asked the man where were we going ? He said with a poker face “Son, this here train is headed straight for Devil’s Bluff” We sat right down he pulled out a deck of cards A crowd drew near, by the clock on the wall time had stopped With a hangman’s smile he shuffled, I smelled the stench of stale cigars When I cut the cards he laughed, the joker was on top Whoa…oh…the train kept rolling fast “Just let me know Son when you’ve had enough I’ve seen your kind before, I know you’re on the lam(b) But we’ll settle it up when we get to Devil’s Bluff He dealt the cards, we picked them up, we arranged our hands The crowd leaned forward elbowing so they could see With a blank look in his eyes he got a smirk on his mouth I could tell by the moans that the cards were marked and stacked against me Whoa…oh…the train kept rolling fast(er) The man held three sixes and an ace up in his cuff Not your winning hand at home but we’re on this train Its good enough to win at Devil’s Bluff The conductor strolled in the car and he said “we’re getting near” The man looked at me and said “Son, whatcha gonna do ? You didn’t think you could really escape your wagered soul Its time to pay the devil his dues” Whoa…oh…the train kept rolling faster I saw a cliff approaching, the payoff was soon enough May as well be hanging from a noose swinging from a gallow Sign said you’re about to enter Devil’s Bluff I looked out the window, fold my hand and say a prayer As we passed through a crossing I smiled I knew I could leave The crowd reeled back the man hissed and started to sneer He knew he was done when I pulled a King from my sleeve Whoa…oh…the train came to a crashing halt I climbed right off despite the sharp dressed man’s guff I headed to the east to turn myself in The train disappeared so did Devil’s Bluff… Whoa..oh…mmmmm…whoa..oh…mmmmm

Coming Back 03:35
Coming Back words and music by S. Hample Seems like a long time ago, I ventured in the woods The path looked so easy, that I really felt I should Dropped all my armor, laid it on the ground Got dark and cloudy, didn’t think it could be found But its coming back to me, and I’m coming back to you X2 I lost my first love, and lost most of my friends Definitely I lost my mind, my spirit wouldn’t mend Love of my lifetime saw me walking out the door I’m not the man I was, from all those years before But its coming back to me, and I’m coming back to you X2 Oh God be patient with me, renew and restore my heart You will give back to me things I left dropped from the start I’m finding all my armor, tarnished, dents and rusted Polish up my faith and belief in the One I can trust in Cause, its coming back to me, and I’m coming back to you X4

Oh Dear God words and music by S. Hample I always wanted to be the kind of a guy Whose words meant something I want my words to speak the truth but a lot of the times they simply mean much of nothing But I’m the kind of a guy whose words Are often what you want to hear They’re not the real thoughts deep in my heart They’re the ones that will keep you near Oh Dear God, I did it again Oh Dear God I did it again looking for your mercy counting on your grace Turn my back on the cross Spitting in your beautiful face I always want to be the kind of a guy Whose actions speak much louder than words But the things I did the best always wound up leaving somebody hurt When you know in your heart whats right Why’s the wrong’s so easy to do I’m afraid for others to see me as real The me that doesn’t look like you Oh Dear God, I did it again Oh Dear God I did it again looking for your mercy counting on your grace Turn my back on the cross Spitting in your beautiful face If I told you the words deep in my soul Would I be shunned for speaking the truth God would you explain it to them How it comes across to you My life is a shambles layin in ruin Lift me up and place this child on your knee Father forgive this broken old soul And make me be the guy I wanted to be Oh dear God, you did it again Oh Dear God you did it again Cover me with your mercy Shower me with your grace Arms stretched high on the cross Tears streaming down your beautiful face Oh Dear God, I did it again Oh Dear God I did it again looking for your mercy counting on your grace Turn my back on the cross Spitting in your beautiful face Oh dear God, you did it again Oh Dear God you did it again Cover me with your mercy Shower me with your grace Arms stretched high on the cross Tears streaming down your beautiful face

Revive Us (Once Dead) I was a walking dead man Six feet under in faith If I had a Top Seven God always came in eighth Looking up from my gravesite Shoveled dirt hit my face Mercy reaching down to me Jesus came and took my place Once dead in sin - Made alive in Christ Once dead in sin - Made alive in Christ Revive Us Revive Us Revive Us Lord Revive Us Revive Us Revive Us Lord I know a guy who was sinking Deep over his head in sin Couldn't swim for his own life About to throw the towel in Coming up for the last time All he had left was to drown From the Cross came a lifesavor Grace like a rope cast down Once dead in sin - Made alive in Christ Once dead in sin - Made alive in Christ Revive Us Revive Us Revive Us Lord Revive Us Revive Us Revive Us Lord There are plenty of others With some stories of their own to tell Just living like zombies on a reckless road to Hell Heading in the wrong direction stumbling over the floor 'Bout to jump out a window 'Til they came across the Door Once dead in sin - Made alive in Christ Once dead in sin - Made alive in Christ Revive Us Revive Us Revive Us Lord Revive Us Revive Us Revive Us Lord I don't know what your tale is or if its even close to mine In a state of denial Or just Running out of time Down for the count or in quicksand With your back up against some wall No matter that your state is God'll catch you as you fall Once dead in sin - Made alive in Christ Once dead in sin - Made alive in Christ Revive Us Revive Us Revive Us Lord

I had left my father’s homestead (you’re always welcomed here) By the light of a blazing sun (peace on your journey) Took all the things my father gave me, no one could save me Set out for the city to have some fun, and dad said: (I will always love you son) I don’t need your love no more (I will always care for you) nothing here to stay for (I am your father, you are my child) (I’ll always be there) don’t look for me pa both: under the same sky (Oh my child, where are you now) the fast life has a price (are you finding what you need) running out of friends I thought were nice (Hope you’re well and living rich) money ran out, thrown in a ditch both: So here I cry under the same sky Didn’t take long to find it out (I’m thinking of you son) What I should have known all along (my prayers go up for you son) then the money got tight, (come home) fed the pigs slept with them at night, (come home) all I could think about was home (you’re welcome home son) (I will run to you son) Papa I shamed your name (I will run and welcome you) turn your back on me I wouldn’t blame you (wherever you are, wherever you think you should be) we’ll never together (I’ll pray for you) both: under the same sky (I will run to you son) I can’t come home right now (I will run to you) am I always bound to roam (wherever you are, wherever you think you need to be) Dad I want to come home (I will run to you) Both: Under the same sky I'm running home to you (rings for your fingers) Please catch men in your arms (robe for your back) How can you love me so (my son thought dead is home) Both: together under the same sky

Been on this world for some 40 odd years Had my share of laughter and my fair share of tears If you were to ask me you'd hear me say Rather be in heaven...and He'll call someday (that's when you're gonna hear me say) See ya later, goodbye, farewell, so long I'm gone to heaven where I belong Adios, au revoir or TTFN Adieu, cheerio until we meet again I'm going home I'm going home...I'm going home Until that day and He calls me then I'm called to be a fisher of men So if you see me and you hear my song You'll likely hear me asking others along (that's so when they're called you'll hear them say) See ya later, goodbye, farewell, so long I'm gone to heaven where I belong Adios, au revoir or TTFN Adieu, cheerio until we meet again I'm going home I'm going home...I'm going home Where when and how God's timings always right Might even come like a theif in the night If that's the case friend I hope I see You flying to meet Him right next to me (that way we can both say together at the same time) See ya later, goodbye, farewell, so long We've gone to heaven where we belong Adios, au revoir or TTFN Adieu, cheerio until we meet again we're going home We're going home...we're going home This world is not my home I'm just a passin thru My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue The angels beckon me from heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore See ya later, goodbye, farewell, so long I'm gone to heaven where I belong Adios, au revoir or TTFN Adieu, cheerio until we meet again I'm going home I'm going home...I'm going home Oh Lord you know I have no friend like you If heaven's not my home then Lord what will I do ?

Star light, star bright First star I see tonight I wish I may, oh I wish I might Have the wish I wish tonight Have the wish I wish tonight In a darkened world With no hope in sight Where is this Promised One To save us from our plight We’ve been waiting so long And our hope is slight All I have is this one wish To suppress my fright (so) Star light, star bright Brightest star I see tonight I hope I may, oh I hope I might Find the hope I need tonight Find the hope I need tonight Do not be afraid I bring you comfort and joy Your cry for a King to come Comes in a tiny baby boy Over Bethlehem A star is shining bright Over a manger where a baby lay Hope is born tonight Star light, star bright Wondrous star in the highest heights I know its here, so my soul ignites I found the Hope I need tonight I found the Hope I need tonight O Star of wonder, star of night Star with royal beauty bright Westward leading, still proceeding Guide us to thy Perfect Light Star light, star bright Wondrous star in the highest heights I know its here, so my soul ignites I found the Hope I need tonight I found Hope…beyond the stars.

about

"The good ol' days"…remember your first love ? Maybe its time we considered reflecting on those days…when our love for God was strong…refreshing…real…without fillers or fluff...

After the "dark tone" of the last album I went with a more toned down sound. Many are re-boots and remixes of older songs I wrote.

Included is a bonus track Hope Beyond a Star for Christmas.
