Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high, There’s a land that I heard of, once in a lullaby. Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue, And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true! Someday I’ll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me! Where troubles... Read More

Most people live on a lonely island, lost in the middle of a foggy sea. Most people long for another island, One where they know they would like to be. Bali Ha’i may call you, any night, any day. In your heart you’ll hear it call you. Come away, come away. Bali Ha’i will whisper... Read More

There was a time in my life I thought I had to do it all myself. And I didn’t know the grace of God was sufficient, And I didn’t know the love of God was at hand. But now I can say, If you are discouraged, Struggling just to make it through another day, You... Read More

He can turn the tides and calm the angry sea. He alone decides who writes a symphony. He lights evr’y star that makes the darkness bright! He keeps watch all through each long and lonely night! He still finds the time to hear a child’s first prayer. Saint or sinner calls and always finds Him... Read More

I come to the garden alone, While the dew is still on the roses, And the voice I hear falling on my ear The Son of God discloses. And He walks with me, and He talks with me, And He tells me I am His own; And the joy we share as we tarry there,... Read More

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.
