Rollercoaster

The rock we live on spun around while we were sleeping.
& there's a ball of fire floating in the sky.
The home I live in holds a million trillion atoms.
And there will be that many stars out tonight.
Hey Dad, see that star? Time to make a wish.
Hey did you know the world spins round faster & faster.
My child you do not know what pains the world can dish.
This world can be a Roller-coaster.
Girls this old world, is gonna break your heart one day.
but that don't last, forever.
Lord help them always to hold on to You
Through this Roller-coaster.
You could not find a home with any more love,
even if you searched the world high and low.
I have never seen such beauty and such tender people
And the sweetness in their, sweetness in their soul.
Little Tobi she's my little greeter,
when you walk in through the door, she will knock you down with love.
Little Madyson, her heart is overwhelming me.
With so much kindness she glows just like her Mom.
Oh when those girls leave, it's gonna break my heart that day.
And it will be.....my pleasure.
Lord what can I do
But hold on to You...through this Roller-coaster.
Can I sit with you? Sing a song and read a book or two.
Share some laughs while sing good night moon.
Andrew may be Ender but not the ending,
because your your little brother will be here soon.
-Instrumental-
There's a ball of fire, floating in the sky
And the rock were on spins around while we sleep.
Lord who am I to question....
Your Roller-coaster.

The Life I Have
03:44

We've come along this road together
through the dark nights and bad weather.
I faced my fears you plucked my feathers
'cause I'm a peacock of a fool.
And though this peacock has been shameless
without a single claim to greatness.
Your grace would look all through my places
and start making them new.
Now the life I have is not what I've known.
You've given me a new heart and home.
And I can't believe what is happening, is happening to me.
We've come along these years well tested,
I passed a few and failed the rest then,
received the blessings from the Blessed.
He passed His test and I get through.
What's left to say but Lord I love you,
grow my heart and make it more true,
help me remember how your going to,
to make all things new.

Psalm One

Blessed is the man
Who won't walk in wicked plans.
He won't share in the paths,
or in a seat with those who can.
Ohhh and his delight, is in Your Word.
Thinking on It day and night, until his heart is stirred.
He is like a tree.
Planted by a stream.
Bearing fruit to eat.
Without a single withered leaf.
Ohhh and his delight, is in Your Word.
Thinking on It day and night, until his heart is stirred.
When Jesus walked this earth.
Proposing marriage and new birth.
Like a tree by a stream
His fruit is sweet, to those who believe.
Ohhh and we delight, in You Lord.
Remembering when day turned to night,
because Your heart was stirred.

Standing on the doorstep, of all the people that I've ever hurt.
I could use a little more prep. Feelin just a little bit absurd.
What if they can't forget, how I was the worst offender.
What if they still call me, by a name You don't remember.
So...in that hour, all the power that is in Your hand will help me stand.
Yeah...out of a quiver I'll deliver why You sent me here.
And watch You repair the broken.
Waiting on my front step. Lookin out for any passer by.
I knew it when my heart lept. Youve made him the apple of Your eye.
I hardly recognize him. The guy before me is not the same.
A new disposition, A different purpose and a brand new name.
So...in that hour, all the power that is in Your hand will help me stand.
Yeah...out of a quiver was delivered why You sent 'em here.
And then You repaired the broken.
There might not never be, a more pleasing sight to our Lord.
Than the reconciled family, that killed the enmity, with a Holy sword.
So...in that hour, all the power that is in Your hand will help us stand.
Yeah...out of a quiver we'll deliver why You sent us here.
And watch You repair the broken.

All I Need

I was just a boy in '82.
The family broke up, I was so confused.
I tried to save 'em, I must confess.
A child cleaning up a grown-up mess.
And You were all I'd need.
You were all I'd need.
You were all I'd need.
A few years later in the desert sand.
A nomad family In a Hot-Spring land.
When I met a devil dressed as a man.
He had a forked tounge and wicked plan.
And You were all I'd need.
In the first few days of a ten year war.
You saw a convict kneelin on a concrete floor.
In the mud with pigs I'd make my bed.
When You found me I was almost dead.
But you were all I'd need.
And the party that you've thrown for me.
Is still in it's infancy.
A thousand gifts lavished on me.
This is my homecoming.
And You are all I need.

Sweet Gal
03:04

It seems like just the other day,
The Lord saw two of his kids at play.
I guess He had a mind, to send me
That sweet gal of mine.
He sent her just in time.
That sweet gal of mine.
The prettiest thing you've ever seen
Chose me and that's amazing
I've got one of a kind
That sweet gal of mine
Yeah she'll do just fine,
That sweet gal of mine.
If she should hide her smile away
Like the sun hiding it's brightest ray
We'd all call that a crime. Tho she's still lovely,
That sweet gal of mine.
Each tear a diamond mined, from
That sweet gal of mine.
To stick with me took grit and nerve
And more grace and hope than I deserve
Like a hero fighting crime
Yep that's her, that sweet Gal of mine.
No metaphor is too sublime....
For that sweet Gal of mine.

We've Gotta Go

Hey boys, pack up your toys. Pack up your clothes.
I've heard the call. It's time to chase some road.
500 miles, twice that in smiles. Thrice that that in songs.
That's how we'll spend the day. Out-pacing all my wrongs.
When my father heard the call he would gather his boys all,
and with all five standing there he'd declare; we've gotta go.
Hey Lady, pack up them babies. Laying out our family routine.
You'll love it over there. Over there the 'grass grows green'.
Hey Lord, I can't afford. 'Cause the money's running low.
But it's alright 'cause I think I might, hear You saying it's time to go!
When my father heard the call he would gather his boys all,
and with all five standing there he'd declare; we've gotta go.
Hey guys, you might chastise. I won't say that I was wrong.
The road was a winding one, but I'm now where I belong.
When the Lord sounds His call He'll gather once and for all,
all alive and all asleep who He's numbered as His sheep.
And if my eyes are dry I'll see Him split that eastern sky
and without further delay I'll hear Him say; we've gotta go.
