Lyrics, Lamentations & Love Songs*

Said a man to the beggar ‘What is it you need?’ Lord I need redemption But I can’t see Said that man to the beggar ‘It’s true, you can’t see When the Truth stands here before you Open your eyes and believe’ Blind man opens his eyes for the first time  Imagine what he sees Sitting in the darkness, Now eclipsed by light The power of a savior to command day from darkest night Trust is the answer Sometimes all it takes is to open closed eyes When the savior comes our way In the wind In the still small voice In the moments when we feel so lost That gentle touch  that quiets the noise Said a man  to that beggar ‘Now, what will you do? Pick up your mat Carry on Let your heart be ever renewed By this choice When you trusted In my voice And were made new.’ 02/23/26 clc

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
