What a goof...

Eulogy

Lighthouse

Bouncing like a buoy
drifting on the water
Singletary solitute man begins to holler
he says "man overboard"
I jump ship on the trip
it was a worldwide cruise
trading riches for some fishes
I've got nothing more to lose
I'm a man overboard
I'm a man overboard

If it wasn't for the lighthouse
where would my life be?
On a trip bound for nowhere
on a unforgiving sea
I thank God for the light

Legs and arms are burning
I swim against the tide
keep an eye above the water
so I can see the light
I'm a man overboard
I dream about the Saviour
I dream about the shore
I feel the sand
You take my hand
and we will walk forevermore
I'm a man overboard
I'm a man overboard

If it wasn't for the lighthouse
where would my life be?
On a ship bound for nowhere
on an unforgiving sea
I thank God
If it wasn't for the lighthouse
where would my life be?
On a ship bound for nowhere
on an unforgiving sea
I thank God for the lighthouse
I thank God for the light

Do you remember
The way our life used to be
Always together
The world was full of mystery
Every sunrise was
Adventure begun
Every sunset a new
Victory won
Where shall we go from here?

Now is the time to give you our lives
And burn like a fire in the night
I am yours; I’ll heed the battle call
As long as you’re along

I’ve been told
A thousand times before
To get old and
stop this playing war
but how can you say
that this is peaceful night
is there any
love left in this fight
where shall we go from here.

There’s a time for war
A time for peace
A time to embrace
A time to release
There’s a time to keep
And a time to set free
There is a time, all the time
For you and me.

A Question

What is life without friends?

"Earth laughs in flowers."
-Emerson

A Song Left Unplayed

The Skies were wonderful today!
I came out at sunrise
To the warm greeting of the morning sun
My soul was at rest
The rays of the sun
Peaked out through the clouds
And danced their way
On to my face
I felt a reassurance
That everything was going to be fine

Then evening came and the rains fell
Again i felt comfort
Though the rain poured without ceasing
On to the concrete
I still felt the joy
That only One can bring
I went outside with my black umbrella
And danced to a song left unplayed

O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing

O for a thousand tongues to sing
my great Redeemer's praise,
the glories of my God and King,
the triumphs of his grace!

My gracious Master and my God,
assist me to proclaim,
to spread through all the earth abroad
the honors of thy name.

Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
that bids our sorrows cease;
'tis music in the sinner's ears,
'tis life, and health, and peace.

He breaks the power of canceled sin,
he sets the prisoner free;
his blood can make the foulest clean;
his blood availed for me.

He speaks, and listening to his voice,
new life the dead receive;
the mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
the humble poor believe.

Hear him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb,
your loosened tongues employ;
ye blind, behold your savior come,
and leap, ye lame, for joy.

In Christ, your head, you then shall know,
shall feel your sins forgiven;
anticipate your heaven below,
and own that love is heaven.
