Born But a Little Child
He who spoke the world into creation
He was born but a little child
With love so meek and mild
His birth brought the world a new elation
Was born to die to save all the nations
He was born but a little child
With a precious glowing smile
Was to become the church’s foundation
He was born but a little child
To reclaim the fallen world for His own
He was born but a little child
He came that true love, through Him, could be known
He was born but a little child
To take on our sins, and for them atone

Come and Follow Me
“The harvest is plenty, workers are few”
And He said, “Come and follow me”
“And, through me, you will help them see”
Peter was out fishing with Andrew
The brothers of thunder were fishing too
And He said, “Come and follow me”
“And fishers of men, you will be”
Then, a tax collector came into view
And He said, “Come and follow me”
No matter what you may have done before
He still says, “Come and follow me”
He calls you to a life of so much more
He cries out, “Come and follow me”
And we follow Him, for Him we adore

When Love Never Ceased
A beautiful sunset sets to my west
A subtle rainbow rises from the east
And I dream of love, when love never ceased
Tried, I, to keep it, tried my very best
Alas, the love has gone and has been gone
Far too many weeks, far too many years
Replaced only with doubt and childlike fears
Trust that has been entirely undone
A beautiful rainbow fades to the east
The sunset gives way to a hazy dusk
I am left alone, a man out of luck
And I dream of love, when love never ceased
If only rainbows and sunsets could cheer
A heart that's been hardened so many years

Loneliest of All
I suppose my thoughts were always naieve
Believing that when you found that someone
That life would be happy and filled with fun
And, that feeling would remain when she'd leave
Reality set in the day she left
When the joy remained, but sadness set in
Thinking about when I'd see her again
I fear the summer will not be so deft
The irony whipped my heart in a squall
That though I had found the girl of my dreams
And, love, on the horizon, sparkles and gleams
Now she's gone, I'm the loneliest of all
Yet, the horizon nears close everyday
Dear, may we keep this path and never stray

Another New Year
Another New Year's Eve, now come and gone
Another New Year began all alone
No one to kiss or to call on the phone
No one to load my hopes and dreams upon
Perhaps she was correct so long ago
Perhaps I'm not worth the smiles she gave
Maybe I'll take poverty to the grave
Maybe it's best she went to and not fro
I'm just a man seeking something greater
Than the life that I have long been living
Won't gain wealth by sacrificing giving
Though selfishness might well help me later
Another New Year not settl'ing for less
Than distant dreams of my heart's happiness

Happily Humble
I just heard the news... Kid, it made me smile
I know how much you are in love with love
I know how you've probably prayed above
You only had to wait a little while
Though I am lonely and missing you much
It's quite tough to not be happy for you
Because, in my heart, my heart always knew
Someone very soon would find your hand's touch
Too beautiful to go unseen for long
Far too talented to not cause some stir
Too classy to not attract some monsieur
But, still my heart hurts to see you move on
I'm not the first to watch my world crumble
Yet, her joy makes me happily humble

Somewhere Beyond
Somewhere beyond these sunset skies above
Is a place where all this suffering ends
Where there are no enemies, only friends
Each day garnered with warm feelings of love
Somewhere beyond the stars sparkling bright
A community of friends are waiting
Those gone before, now anticipating
The moment when you, too, can see the light
Somewhere beyond fading mortal coils
Are pearly gates and streets paved, bright, with gold
Where not one of us will ever grow old
And, finally, we can cease our toils
Somewhere beyond these sunset skies above
Are days garnered with warm feelings of love

Masterpiece
Perhaps it's cliche; a bit overdone
But, it seems apparent each day in life
Is a page written full of joy and strife
As though we're characters when the day's done
Some pages filled with ineffable bliss
Still others are wrought with heartache and pain
Some where the hero is going insane
What possible good could come of all this?
But, each day, anew, brings with it a choice
To become the hero or the villain
Tread on safe paths or those that are thrilling?
After each defeat to raise strong their voice?
Will our hero fade to their sad decease?
Or dawn triumphant in their masterpiece?

I Love You, Love, Except When I Hate You
I love you, love, except when I hate you
For sweet things whispered in the still of night
For how beautiful you were in my sight
Oh, love, how my love remains ever true
I hate you, love, except when I love you
For all the pain you've caused my heart to feel
For questions now had as to what is real
Oh, love, how the hate burns from red to blue
I love you and in the same breath hate you
Dichotomous paradoxes remain
Hope and logic have long ago been slain
Leaving just ashes where, once, stood the two
I love you, love, except when I hate you
And, love, how that hate burns from red to blue

Misty Eyes
Life hasn't been the same for some time now
With the dark taking light some way, some how
And, I'm alone, unable to disguise
That now I see this world through misty eyes
Hasn't been long since you were here with me
I still hear that laugh, setting my heart free
But, oh, how all these precious moments fly
Now, I walk this road with these misty eyes
Perhaps life is meant to be seen this way
Perhaps joy isn't meant for me each day
Perhaps I'm to reprise those last goodbyes
Daily my heart dies and brings misty eyes
It dies as it remembers its demise
And so, each day I see through misty eyes
