How Great You Are

(Inspired by Psalm 92:4-5)

I sing for joy at Your works
How great is Your hand, O God

How great You are!

I stand in awe of creation
How great is Your beauty, O God

How great You are!

I tremble at Your power
How great is Your truth, O God

How great You are!

I bow down in thanks for Your grace
How great is Your mercy, O God

How great You are!

I praise You for You are my God
My Father, Savior and Lord

How great You are!
How great You are!

Let Us Praise the Lord

(inspired by Psalm 92:1-3)

It is good to praise the Lord
Making music in His name

It is good to praise the Lord
Whose love sets our hearts aflame

It is good to praise the Lord
Who took on Himself our shame

It is good to praise the Lord
And to glorify His name

Let us praise the Lord!
Let us praise the Lord!

Sweet Dreams

Oh blessed sleep, come to me
I'm in need of rest
And when I do give in to thee
I pray my dreams be bless'd

For Kaylor, at her request (February 2012)

February fourteenth...
What is so special about
February fourteenth?
I just can't figure it out.

Could it possibly be
     Our founding president's birthday?
     Or Punxsutawney's shadow day?
No, hmm... now let me see...

Wait, what's this by my bed?
Flowers! Bound in red and pink
And what's this, overhead?
Paper hearts! Hmm... let me think...

Why is everything pink?
     Oh, I wish I could remember...
     I'm about to lose my temper!
No, calm down... now think. THINK!

          Oh! Happy Valentine's Day, Kaylor!
          I knew I would remember!

Sail Away

Raise the sail, raise the sail
Let's sail away in the sound
Take me far, take me far
Let's see what we discover
Raise the sail, raise the sail
Share this afternoon with me
Take me far, take me far
Let's head for the horizon

     Smell the sea that's all around
     And hear the gulls are they soar high
     Feel the sun's rays beating down
     And watch the waves as they roll by

          Let down the sail, let down the sail
          I want to camp on the shore
          Lopez Island looks good
          Let's set up camp and make a fire
          Then walk the beach with me
          To see what we discover
          Let down the sail, let down the sail
