When the winter blooms into springtime, bright
And the birds are sweetly singing their tune
We consider Your benevolent might
And pray that the light doesn’t fade too soon
...
Dear Lord, please help my mind to be sharp
So that I might focus on the needs of others
Help my ears to be trained
To listen to the calls that need my attention
...
A year's gone by since I last heard your voice
Yet, I still hear it at least once a day
Whenever a certain song comes my way
Oh, I wish loving you was just a choice
...
Beautiful night, how the stars, they so clearly shine
And the joyful moon how it mirrors back my smile
Oh, beautiful night, you're good to a heart like mine
Oh, beautiful night, you've made this long road worthwhile
...
Walking up the hill, cross upon your back
Will that next step be the step causing you to crack
Wanting to scream out, “Lord, where have you gone? ”
Then you see Him on that hill as dusk becomes dawn
...
Don't cry, my dear sisters, don't cry today
The storm may be raging, thunder crashing
With clouds threatening and lightning flashing
Darling, the sky won't always be that way
...
A little tear here, another drop there
The sobbing doesn’t often last too long
A short bridge between verses of a song
But, hurt I feel, then, I don’t dare to share
...
In this world where good folks are hard to find
And role models fail us day after day
All the more rare to find a true hero
Thank God they don't die, they just fade away
...
Choke back those tears my brother, my sister
Don’t show emotion in this cold, cold place
Don’t tip your hand that they’ve gotten to you
Don’t stand apart from this dead human race
...
Far, far away are days of stress free life
Of living a day, a night without strife
Going a day not wanting something more
...
