Angels sing your glory
02:58
|

|
Angels... Angels sing your glory in every human life
Just sit and listen
A chorus of voices celestial sing
A song of purity they bring
So loud the din breaks through the net
Of remembrance and forget

Where would I be
02:43
|
|||
|
Where where would I be
and how could I see
I would be an ocean without water
a flower without the sun
a poet without meaning
a singer without a song
Where where would I be
and how could I see
I would be a journey without meaning
a story without and end
a heart that is always broken
a man without a friend
Where would I be without your love

Channel of your peace
03:50
|
|||
|
Make me a channel of your peace
Where there is hatred let me sow your love
Where there is injury your pardon lord
Where there is doubt true faith in you
O master grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul
Make me a channel of your peace
Where there’s despair in life let me bring hope
Where there’s sadness ever joy
And where there is darkness let me show your light
O master grant…etc
Make me a channel of your peace
It is in giving that we receive
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
And in dying we are born to eternal life
O master grant…etc

Emperor's birthday party
05:23
|
|||
|
It seems so strange to be so happy
It feels so good to be so free
Sail through life like a schooner on the silken waters
to the Emperor’s Birthday Party for tea
Now we’re all going to the Emperor’s Birthday Party
We’re all invited there for tea
So much love is sailing to the Emperor’s Birthday Party
Hold my hand and come along with me
Oceans deep can’t drown the saved ones. Life’s to soft to harm the child
We sail on waves of smiling waters. Our sails fill with every breath that we breathe
How long our journey has been to get heard
And where we’ve been does anyone care
I’m here I’m sailing on those inner waters
I’m here I’m sailing on that inner sea
As storms come dark and bole me over
As lost as lost I sometimes feel
Yet trust inside beckons and has me calling
Has me coming to his birthday tea
Now we’re all going to the Emperor’s Birthday Party
We’re all invited there for tea
So much love is sailing to the Emperor’s Birthday Party
Hold my hand and come along with me
Oceans deep can’t drown the saved ones. Life’s to soft to harm the child
We sail on waves of smiling waters. Our sails fill with every breath that we breathe

Jackie's song
06:07
|
|||
|
Your eyes they talk to me, you are so beautiful within
Pain, pain is your doorway, open heart opening
Chorus: Jackie you are so beautiful, your helping us to be real
And thats what we need to feel, all the time
Whether we are in fame or pain, in fame or pain
Your Bones, your bones will mend, will mend
Through the healing in your life, your life
Your life, your life will send, will send
Such beauty and thanks for this, in a kiss
No Earthly gift to seek, no seek, no seek
Only love in which we all reach, we reach
Its all held in our heart, our heart and your heart
We give and share our part, our part, our part

Love of the Lord
04:40
|
|||
|
The love of the lord makes every moment right
Makes living worthwhile makes lives burden light
O the love of our lord brings all things to be
from each spark of life to the mighty galaxy
But the love of our lord within the human heart
means more than the world to our lord
O the love of our lord in the setting of the sun
in the thunder of the sea, in the busy honey bee
Oh the love of the lord in the birds flying south
in the early morning dew makes every moment new
But the love of our lord within the human heart
means more than the world to our lord
Oh the love of our lord means more than all the gold
more than all the power to the priceless human soul
with the love of our lord we have more than a king
more than this world, we have everything
But the love of our lord within the human heart
means more than the world to our lord

Is it a dream
04:54
|
|||
|
I can hear a distant sound of a voice so clear so profound
Is it a dream or reality, that you came into my life and enlightened me
I can hear a sound of a voice so clear and so profound
Is it a dream or reality
And it sings just like a bird, maybe to you it sounds absurd
But through it all, there is no doubt, about it at all
And its sound, your harmony is within you only heard
Like a stream its rise and fall, to an inner voice, to and inner call
I can hear a distant sound of a voice so clear so profound

Shady bridge
04:36
|
|||
|
The dawn is in the dawning, the night is in the darkening
The fog is in the misting, the stream is in the tumbling
The night can turn to moon shine, the clouds can turn to sunshine
The stream can babble quietly beneath the shady bridge
The grass so fastly growing, my mothers slowly sewing
I can hear my brothers laughing, and wood being a chopping
Primrose in the hedge high, swallows in the midday sky
Bees sap at flowers, I’ve been a sitting here for hours
The valleys full of laughter, mixed with rushing water
The leaves they open fuller, the sun is even brighter
The night can turn to moon shine, the clouds can turn to sunshine
The stream can babble quietly, beneath the shady bridge

Farewell to youth
02:49
|
|||
|
Farewell oh youth, farewell
Time has come at last for us
To say goodbye and part
Must let you go, let go and go
Farewell oh youth, farewell
Till now I was a child, now I grew up
The stage has changed so fast
Farewell, farewell, farewell
Memories both beautiful and grey
Thats all thats going to stay as I let you go
Farewell oh youth, farewell
Thanks for the days of joy and fun
Of laughter and sun
I know your beauty was your gift to me

Always alive
02:56
|
|||
|
In a moment by moment
You are taken away from me
Moment by moment
You’re still alive.
Sailing out of the harbour of your body
Sailing, blown into deeper seas.
Time after time,
Like an echo always calling you
Time after time
We’re always alive.
Where do we live
Calling into heaven
Leaving when we’re called into the light.

Flying with the angels
02:34
|

|
He is flying with the angels
on gossamer wings of light
sailing through the day and darkest night
a kiss will sink in deep to smile and fall asleep...
