LORD LIFT ME UP

This song is one of the first ones I recorded.  I was leaving church one Sunday and loved the upbeat postlude played by our guitarist and his wife and thought, "it sure would be nice to have an upbeat song like that," so I put my thoughts into action and by the time I arrived home I had it finished and simply had to write it down and play through it a few times.  I recorded it two weeks later and shortly after added a bridge which I regret was not part of the trac but anyway here are the lyrics with the bridge,the song has been added to Reverbnation so feel free to listen on that site.  I loved how the musicians put the trac together and ended up using it as the title to the CD.  Here are the lyrics to LORD LIFT ME UP!!  Enjoy!

Lord Lift Me Up


CHORUS

Lord lift me up,up,up

Make me more like you

full of compassion,

faithful and true

Let the light of your Son come shining through

That others might see and believe

That they would not be decieved

Verse

Life is like a river flowing out to the sea

It twists and turns and moves so swiftly

It flows through the valley

It flows 'round the bend

With God as our Father

It never ends

CHORUS

Verse

You call us out of darkness to your marvelous light

Like a beacon shining in the night

You set us high upon a mountain top

shedding light to the valley below
CHORUS

Bridge

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace

Let your light so shine upon all men

Let your Holy Spirit dwell within

giving the power and the might

take the glory forever and ever and ever Amen!
CHORUS

THERE ARE ANGELS

Not too long ago I added another song to Reverbnation and wanted to share those lyrics with you so here they are.  Enjoy!:)

THERE ARE ANGELS


Chorus
Resting in the arms of an angel

God is walking beside you

Leading and guiding every step of the way

His angels will shield you and protect you

Bringing you closer to the Lord

Giving you peace hope and serenity

Every moment of the day

Verse 1

In the face of a tragedy

Or the loss of a loved one

There are angels close by

They will comfort you

And when the storm clouds come

or the tempest gets high

Our God delivers

He's standing by

Chorus

Verse 2

In the face of discouragement

Or the loss of integrity

Our God still loves you anyway

He will build you up

When feeling helpless

And situations get worse

No greater power

Exists on this earth

Chorus

Bridge

He will command his angels

concerning you

And they will lift you up

In their hands

Chorus

If you believe in miracles

Then believe it's true

There are angels all around

Intervening for you

In times of trouble

God can lend you a hand

His many angels are at his command

Chorus
