Lyrics, Lamentations & Love Songs*

You said  “I am the way” When I didn’t know  Which way to go You said “I am the truth” That will feed Your hungry soul “I am the light” When the darkness Closes in I am your comfort I am your hope I am your friend You said it Over and over again Even when I feel so lost You find me  And bring me back in To where you are You are always near You hear my heart Beating For you. 02/21/26 clc “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him.”” John‬ ‭14‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

“Take heart Do not worry Beyond this moment For I am there With you In the quiet I’m so totally aware Of the actions You are taking Moving one step Then another ahead I am always with you So lift up your weary head To me And see The beauty  of all that I can bring Though the day May bring trouble I listen to your heart  Bearing all your burdens Urge you to be still,  To stop Trying to face tomorrow When you’re here,  Right here today Never will I leave you I walk beside you And as you pray I listen To each heartfelt desire  Filling you with my presence Lighting the way With my power I am the way And I walk beside you Everyday” 02/16/26 clc “The mind of man plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16‬:‭9‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Don’t always know it Often times don’t understand How something so quiet Can slip so quickly through my hands You say be still, Lord I never really tried Until in the darkness I was desperate and I cried Still find it elusive Wonder some days  if it will ever come Yet in the whispering wind I feel a touch  of what you’ve begun Inside my chest When I find rest I know it comes  From nowhere else  Peace isn’t a potion Or some passing fantasy It rests in the midst of trouble Helping us to see That even when the struggle  rises up ahead You open your arms And say “Pick me instead I will steady the ship I will calm the storm I will shelter your spirit When you’re weary and worn I am here All you have to do Is call out my name  I have loved you From the very first day I remain” Breath starts to flow Shedding tears Letting go Peace  Comes  In the midst Of the storm. 02/13/26 clc

See me  Here So small Utterly aware Take my hand Search my heart Find in me That smallest part Where love grows Plant a seed Beyond all  That I have known Send the warmth To touch my face Opening before me As my spirit waits For what you show This bigger love Known to me Over and over How you pick me up When I’m not enough Take my words Let them be More than just Hollow thoughts Let each statement Breathe  With you, You provide The oxygen  That fills me up inside See me Make me aware Of what you have  This moment I await The very air  You bring. 02/12/26 clc

Struggle with the cold When it reaches to my soul And feeds the hurts within Taking away joy,  Not letting light shine in Oh help I’m So cold  These are the times When I want to let go Silent screams Followed by guttural pleas I don’t understand I keep trying But I’m such a frail man Wanting to feel a little heat This morning there’s none, And it chills my beliefs A little more Cold day in store… 02/09/26 clc

You find me In the moments  just before the dawn When soreness clears your body  as you let out a mighty yawn When your days have been troubled You can find my rest In the stillness of the morning  Waiting for sun to crest  Over the horizon Above waiting skies Wipe away those tears Clear the sadness from you eyes You find me In the simple When you take a breath Like an inhaled prayer And let out all that hinders As you stand, fully aware Of skies and time and being Still feeble as you ask For a little peace - I bring you More than you could ever have grasped  Now hearts that are heavy Seem less so As you look to me And let go You find me When you seek me Though I am always there In the trouble In the joyful I await you And if you dare Take the moment To lift your head I am here child I’ve never left You find me. 02/03/26 clc
