Lyrics, Lamentations & Love Songs*

Hidden in the secret Where my heart flees when it’s weak There rests a simple notion That keeps me in my sleep A hope born in my spirit Risen from my earthly grave And there I find my savior Ready to hold me and save My heart My self Cause in the end There’s nothing else This world spins on around me Often pressing against my skin And if I linger in what it says I find myself lost and torn within So I go back to the secret I hold firm against my chest Knowing there, with my savior I can always find my rest I can fall down and be content 06/16/26 clc  Read Psalm 91

I am so intimately aware How small I am Standing here I am nothing without the breath That comes from my God,  and nowhere else I know what it takes to stand against the wind But I’ve also floated in the hurricane The one I dove right in I know where my strength comes And I know it’s not from me It’s from the maker of the universe In that I fully believe And when I’m down,  I still try to fight back When I’m weary and I’m tired,  and feel so under attack I still seek the God I know Trying to silence the world Letting go And when tears come,  as they quite often do I know it’s my spirit resetting Holding onto You So go with me this day Through the miles that I travel on Hear me, As I pray My hope belongs to You. 06/12/26 clc

Fresh air on my face Still a little out of place Yet my spirit craves the sun Shining down On all I’ve known As I walk on Day at a time Finding solace in these moments Before my eyes And I’m not settled Still fight within But I’ve been given more Thank I can understand With each day I soldier on Seeking the Path I’ve been given And move on… Knowing that beyond all this There is more. 06/09/26 clc

Cover me  with riches Born not of flesh or skin But from the heart you cherish  and the beauty found within My heart Beating softly Cooing like the morning dove Clothe me with your radiance And shroud me with your love Where I can rest In your presence Take each moment As I am still For the times when the struggle Is so very real And I can linger In the knowing That it will be alright Cover me And keep me Through morning  Until midnight Cover me 06/08/26 clc

“ We love because he first loved us” First heard the words When I was three years old ‘God so loved’ That’s what I was told Didn’t know anything else Like the stars in the sky How could I not believe When it was right before my eyes I took a big old breath There was nothing else There was me and God Swinging on a swing Birds out chirping Grass growing so green Days were simpler then Didn’t know what it was To turn my back on God Because He was all there was But I found How dark it gets Sullied by a world Full of regrets But it was me and God Walking hand in hand Days were simpler And he was my best friend But oh how that all changed Sitting here 50 years later Wish it was the same I still love the Lord More than I thought I would Found all my victories Rooted in Faith from my childhood Not so simple now Yet in a way it is Have to look around Find the beauty he brings He’s still there every day Guess it’s me who always runs away I pause  I think Then I pray… There was me and God Swi...

A grain of sand  washing across the water Here I am Feel my spirit falter Tossing to and fro Lord I know I’m just a small little thing But maybe you’ll still hear me I feel so scattered, will you bring Peace that stills the waters Vision beyond what I can see I know I’m just one among the millions But will you please Hear me? 06/02/26 clc
