Standing in a room just minding my business You catch my eye leaving me speechless My heart skips a beat whenever I look at you You smile at me give a come here motion Mouthing lets go and I get the notion Baby I guess you have better plans for me and you I love the way you’re looking at me Only one woman can make me happy And I am so glad that God has given me to you So I thank the Lord for thinking of me By giving me you and setting my heart free So I can give all my love to somebody like you Taken your hand into mine Look deep in my eyes and I know you’d find A guy who’d say I’d do it all over again Sitting at the table for a homemade dinner Glancing at you I feel like a winner Saying our grace I can say I’m thankful for you Looking around at the family table Seeing all the kids and as long as I’m able I’ll thank the Lord for being so blessed with you I love the way you’re looking at me Only one woman can make me happy And I am so glad that God has given me to you So I thank the Lord for thinking of me By giving me you and setting my heart free So I can give all my love to somebody like you One day when we are old and grey There’s one last thing I’d like to say When we cross over Let’s do it all over again I love the way you’re looking at me Only one woman can make me happy And I am so glad that God has given me to you So I thank the Lord for thinking of me By giving me you and setting my heart free So I can give all my love to somebody like you

I'm sitting here looking out windows At all the world that you made Wondering how I fit in it And of the plans that you've laid So I reach to my shelf for a bible With all of the words that you've said Worrying about my future And finding it hard to be led (Then you say) I love you Always thinking of you My thoughts outnumber your doubtings Precious and many for you Call unto me and I'll answer Search for me right at the start I'll show you things only imagined When you seek me with all of your heart Your sunshine is warming my shoulders Your wind it's caressing my face I feel like I've entered your presence And long to live in your mercy and grace (Can you) search me and give me your guidance You know that my heart longs for you Make my desire to serve you Obeying in all that I do I'm finding that life is confusing I'm finding my life needing more I'm finding myself feeling empty Come fill me oh Spirit and Lord Guide me and give me direction Your ways and my own Your word be a lamp to my footsteps A light to my path coming home ( to you)

It's so easy to say an I love you It's so easy to act like you care It's so easy to imply that you mean it It's so easy to say you'll always be there But when it comes right down to it And you see another carrying a load That's when your words Better turn into action Cause that's when the rubber Starts finally meeting the road If you call yourself a Christian, you Better start thinking what would Jesus do It's one thing when we talk the talk But we have to do all the walking too It's not easy being the shoulder to cry on It's not easy to stay within reach It's not easy to go the extra mile It's not easy for us to practice all that we preach But when it comes right down to it And you see another carrying a load That's when your words Better turn into action Cause that's when the rubber starts Starts finally meeting the road Last words Christ said was a command to Go That just might just mean walking down your street Be prepared for where The Lord might take you You might be the only Bible some people will read When one life touches another Neither will ever ever be the same And when two or more are gathered There he will be because of Jesus name But when it comes right down to it And you see another carrying a load That's when your words Better turn into action Cause that's when the rubber starts Starts finally meeting the road

We see Him in the lightening We see Him in the rain We see Him in our struggles We see Him in our pain We see Him when the wind blows We see Him in the shining sun We see Him when we wake up We see Him when the day is done He shall be seen And we will declare God is above all He's everywhere He shall be seen And we will declare God is above all He's everywhere We see Him in the desert We see Him on a snowy street We see Him in a stranger We see Him in friends we meet We see Him north or south bound We see Him travel east to west We see Him in a newborn We see Him in one’s final breath He shall be seen And we will declare God is above all He's everywhere He shall be seen And we will declare God is above all He's everywhere We see Him in the starlight We see Him in the moon We’ll see Him face to face (because) Jesus Christ is coming soon He shall be seen And we will declare God is above all He's everywhere Every knee will bow And Every tongue will declare God is above all He is everywhere Alleluia alleluia alleluia Christ is King Alleluia alleluia alleluia we see Him in everything On the front row Down on skid row At the Walmart Or the Burger King At the job site Or a backyard At the school or Where you do your thing At the doctors Or your lawyers At the malls And on the nightly news On a bar stool Or a ballroom Even churches Sitting on hard pews When you workout And at the airport Or just sitting watching your TV On the ball field Or on the boardwalk Can they see Him in you and me ? He shall be seen And we will declare God is above all He's everywhere

Its not about this and its not about that not about why when or how or even where its at It's not about me and it's not about you And the thing that really matters is only One, but Who ? It's all about Him all about my King He's the only One for who my soul wants to sing Its all about my Lord worthy of my praise He's the only One I want to serve for all my days and when I think of all He's done and that He did it all for me I want to lift Him up So that the world will start to see That it's not about you that it's not about me It's about the One who gave his life at Calvary And when it's all been said and everything is done It's always been about God's one and only Son and when I think of all He's done and that He did it all for me I want to lift Him up So that the world will start to see It's all about Him all about my King He's the only One for who my soul wants to sing Its all about my Lord worthy of my praise He's the only One I want to serve for all my days Its not about this and its not about that not about why when or how or even where its at That it's not about you that it's not about me It's about the One who gave his life at Calvary It's all about Him all about my King He's the only One for who my soul wants to sing Its all about my Lord worthy of my praise He's the only One I want to serve for all my days

Embers 06:19
One night in my backyard I was sitting at the fire ring pondering on everything when I saw the glow go dim So I took a stick and stirred the wood from ashes gray a kindled flame now stood I want to see the fire blaze Takes some embers and a stirring breath To get a spark from all that's left from the ash we see a glow now a flame is burning at great size while the smoke ascends to starry sky Thats when I start looking back on all the times that I went astray turned my back and walked away my heart had grown so cold the fire that once burned in my soul had faded then just like dying coal You took this sin charred life had my heart start to remember God ignites those dying embers from the ash we saw a glow Now a flame is burning at great size while the smoke ascends to heaven's sky As the warmth caressed my cheek I felt as if Your glory touched my face so thankful for mercy and grace my praise like smoke rose up please accept my life its all for You a living sacrifice that's long been over due You took this sin charred life and God I do remember how You stirred this dying ember from the ash we see a glow now a flame is burning at great size while the smoke ascends to heaven's sky So God, I'm on my knees May your spirit burn inside my heart keep my life set apart may the glow upon my face shine a light that they begin to see always You and never ever me You took this sin charred life Yes, God I do remember how You stirred this dying ember from the ash we see a glow now a flame is burning at great size while the smoke ascends to heaven's sky

I was the black sheep of my family I had wandered from the fold A rushing wind turned me around I let the Spirit take control It's then I heard my Shepherds voice Calling out to me My son I've alway had a better plan So I said here I am send me Sometimes I hear old voices Shouting out from right and left Reminding me of days gone by Scaring me half to death It's then I heard a still small voice Whispering to me My son I still have a better path Just trust and follow Me There are days that just seem noisy There are days without much sound But I can rest assured in one thing My Father can be found That's when I lift my quaking voice Sometimes cry from bended knee You said if I would call you'd answer So great is your love for me Got a great wife and an awesome family I got a home and two working cars A job that God's provided He hasn't let me down so far Every day I can lift a praising voice And give thanks for all I've got He's been faithful in every way And that sure means a lot I still hear my Shepherds voice Calling out to me My son I've alway had a better plan So I said here I am send me Sometimes I still hear a still small voice Whispering to me My son I still have a better path Just trust and follow Me Other times I lift my quaking voice Sometimes cry from bended knee God said if I would call He'd answer So great is your love for me Every day I can lift a praising voice And give thanks for all I've got God's been faithful in every way And that sure means a lot

For God so loved this whole world that He gave us His Son No greater love than He lay down His life for His Friends So take this bread it is His body broken for you Take this cup it is His blood that flowed for you Do all this in remembrance of Him til He comes and we have our wedding feast On that day when all the saints are finally called home That is when we’ll sup with Him as He sits on His throne And He shall reign forever and ever And He shall reign forever and ever Every knee will bow every tongue confess He’s the King of kings and Lord of lords Every knee will bow every tongue confess He’s the King of kings and Lord of lords Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God, He’s the Prince of Peace Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God, He’s the Prince of Peace Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia And He shall reign forever and ever Every knee will bow every tongue confess He’s the King of kings and Lord of lords Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God, He’s the Prince of Peace Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia And He will reign forever and ever For God so loved this whole world that He gave us His Son No greater love than He lay down His life for His Friends Then one day when all the saints are finally called home That is when we’ll sup with Him as He sits on His throne And we’ll be with Him forever and ever And we’ll sup with Him forever and ever And He will reign forever and ever

Oh Precious Mystery come, come quickly Lord as we'd heard in days gone by the end is drawing near all the prophecies of old are finally coming clear Oh Precious Mystery come, come quickly Lord Let the Bride of Christ arise its time for being bold Time will be when theres no time man's hearts are waxing cold Oh Precious Mystery come, come quickly Lord we shall see him face to face for now a glass thats dimmed Revealed mystery when we're finally there with Him Oh Precious Mystery come, come quickly Lord With a trumpet sound we'll see the dead in Christ rise first we will meet him in the air as things on earth grow worse Oh Precious Mystery come, come quickly Lord Sweet rapture of the bride united with her groom while all those left behind will face impending doom Oh Precious Mystery come, come quickly Lord (use at instrumental bridge/chorus) Let His bride speak out Let there be no doubt He's coming back Lets reach a world thats lost and point them to the cross Christ's saving act Oh Precious Mystery come, come quickly Lord

Matthew 5 05:25
Blessed are those poor in spirit the kingdom of heaven is theirs Blessed are those in sorrow they shall be in God's care You are the light of the world A city set high on an hill Let your life so shine before men Bringing glory to your Father in heaven Blessed are the meek in spirit for they shall inherit the world Blessed are those that hunger for righteousness they'll be filled with God's grace unfurled You are the light of the world A city set high on an hill Let your life so shine before men Bringing glory to your Father in heaven Blessed are they the merciful for they shall obtain His mercy Blessed are the pure in heart For God's is the face that they will see You are the light of the world A city set high on an hill Let your life so shine before men Bringing glory to your Father in heaven Blessed are all the peacemakers they're called children of The Holy One Blessed are those persecuted the kingdom of heaven is theirs when done You are the light of the world A city set high on an hill Let your life so shine before men Bringing glory to your Father in heaven Blessed are you when you're rejected So hated were the prophets before you came Rejoice in The Lord and be happy great is your reward in Jesus name You are the light of the world A city set high on an hill Let your life so shine before men Bringing glory to your Father in heaven

about

I wanted to make a less effects laden collection of songs. Actually some of these songs were pretty much complete until I stripped them back down...some I re-keyed...thinned out the chorus and reverb (not completely after all...its still my voice). Embracing a bit more country...recognizing my limitations (and age) I want to simply offer what God has given me to record. I want God to be seen...just look out your window.
