It seems we stood and talked like this before. We looked at each other in the same way then, But I can’t remember where or when. The clothes you’re wearing are the clothes you wore. The smile you are smiling you were smiling then, But I can’t remember where or when. Some things that happened... Read More

I am weak but Thou art strong. Jesus, keep me from all wrong! I’ll be satisfied as long As I walk, let me walk close to Thee. Just a closer walk with Thee. Grant it, Jesus, is my plea! Daily walking close to Thee. Let it be, dear Lord, let it be. – Traditional, from... Read More

There must be lights burning brighter somewhere. Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue. If I can dream of a better land, where all my brothers walk hand in hand, Tell me why, oh why, oh why can’t my dream come true? There must be peace and understanding sometime. Strong winds...

I used to think that I could not go on. And life was nothing but an awful song. But now I know the meaning of true love! I’m leaning on the everlasting arms. If I can see it, then I can do it! If I just believe it, there’s nothing to it! I believe I... Read More

Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and... Read More

On a clear day, rise and look around you, And you’ll see who you are. On a clear day, how it will astound you That the glow of your being outshines every star! You’ll feel part of every mountain, sea and shore. You can hear from far and near A word you’ve never, never heard... Read More

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy... Read More

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now I’m found.
