Child, come home
Previously I thought I was done with this song, but now when I listen to it I feel ashamed. Now I have therefore redone it and removed all the "hassle". There are many who do better singing and music but I think this works better anyway, for me. 4 simple chords. --------- I was lost on a lonely highway Blinded by the pouring rain Felt the weight of all my troubles Like a heavy ball and chain Grace like a river Washing over me Mercy like the morning sun Setting my soul free Chains are broken Blind eyes start to see Grace like a river Flows endlessly . I cried out in the darkest midnight “Lord, I can’t make it on my own” Then I heard a voice like thunder Whisper: “Child, come home” . I walked miles in the wrong direction Tried to fight this fight alone But Your strong hand reached down to save me And gently led me home Whisper: “Child, come home” . Grace like a river Washing over me Mercy like the morning sun Setting my soul free Chains are broken Blind eyes start to see Grace like a river Flows endlessly . I walked miles in the wrong direction Tried to fight this fight alone But Your strong hand reached down to save me And gently led me home I cried out in the darkest midnight “Lord, I can’t make it on my own” Then I heard a voice like thunder Whisper: “Child, come home” . Ain’t no sinner too far gone Ain’t no night too dark The cross still shines like a lighthouse Calling every heart: “Child, come home” Calling every heart: “Child, come home”more

We are friends
I get criticism from friends that I just mumble, so they can't hear what I'm singing, but none of them want to sing in my place? Not a nice style. But now I've at least tried to be a little clearer. . A song about being the image of God and possessing divinity ourselves . He said, “You’re no longer servants, now you are my friends.” He lifts our weary hearts, no chains left to mend He sees a spark of heaven shining in our eyes Call us to the fullness where our true self lies . Friends, not servants, shine in the light Friend, not servant, watch fear take flight Friends, not servants, hearts set free Friends, not servants, be all you can be . . He stirs the holy fire, calls each one by name Invites us to discover we’re more than what we claim Embracing our divinity, no shadows left to stand We rise as sons and daughters, guided by His hand . Friend, not servant, shine in the light Friends, not servants more

No soul denied
A song about the humanity of all people ------------- No Soul Denied . He walked the dusty roads, saw hope in every face He reached the broken hearts, and filled the empty space No matter who you are or what the world has tried He proved a deeper truth: there is no soul denied . Rise up for justice, tear down the walls Rise up for justice, let mercy stand tall Rise up for justice, love won’t be denied We stand as one, with Jesus by our side . . He fed the hungry masses, called the humble strong Embraced each weary traveler, said everyone belongs He cut through empty power plays, and broke the rules of pride Love is our revolution, injustice can’t survive . Rise up for justice, tear down the walls Rise up for justice, let mercy stand tall Rise up for justice, love won’t be denied We stand as one, with Jesus by our side . . We won’t stay silent while voices go unheard We act on truth and compassion, not just on pretty words more
