by lies & deceit

i shall not live in fear
let us be very clear
that pain from the past
does not last

i walked through woe
been brought low
by lies & deceit
hot coals to my feet

but ALWAYS god was there
showing heavens incredible care
bathing my feet
with waters most sweet

I Know In My Mind

Another beautiful day
& it's time to play
& let God worry about the way
for in his grace we do stay

& if I find
that my life is unkind
I know in my mind
that he has got my behind

so let us not stay
& the gloom must pass away
& now to you all i say
it's another beautiful day

a papa to two

yesterday is when i found
that which will astound
that within me dwells
a soul that did not sell

today i have become
a confidant to some
a papa to two
and a friend to you

tomorrow i will see
all that there is to be
and happy
to be so free

no more will i care if i get it right

i will throw myself on the flames of love
i will accept that gift from above
blackened & burned i will be
but smiling through eternity

i shall laugh at my fears
dance to all the music i hear
no more will i care if i get it right
no more will i care to be alone at night

for as long as i understand
that somewhere in this land
someone cares for me
that is joy enough to last eternally
