Stars


You should see the stars tonight
How they shimmer and shine so bright
Against the black they look so white
Coming down from such a height
To reach me now, reach me now

You should see the moon in flight
Cutting cross the misty night
Softly dancing in sunshine
Reflections of it's light
Reach me now, you reach me now

And how could such a thing
Shine it's light on me
And make everything
Beautiful again

You should feel the sun in spring
Coming out after a rain
Suddenly all is green
Sunshine on everything
I can feel it now, I feel it now

And how could such a thing
Shine it's light on me
And make everything
Beautiful

And you should hear the angels sing
All gathered round their king
More beautiful than you could dream
I've been quietly listening
You can hear 'em now, I hear 'em now

And how could such a king
Shine His light on me
And make everything
Beautiful

And I wanna shine
I wanna be light
I wanna tell you
It'll be alright
And I wanna shine
And I wanna fly
Just to tell you now
It'll be alright, it'll be alright
It'll be alright

'Cause I've got nothing on my own to give to you
But this light that shines on me shines on you
And makes everything
Beautiful
Again

It'll be alright, it'll be alright

Good, good end

You can leave right now
You can ring a bell
You can tell 'em you think I ain't doin' too well
But when I stood like you
I eventually fell
Go on and leave right now
Go on and ring your bell

I'm amazed by life
And it's amazed by me
We're a strange old pair- me and eternity
It don't make good sense
It ain't easy to see
I'm amazed by life
And it's amazed by me

It's a long hard road
With a good, good end
And if I keep on walking on past the crooked bend
I will meet my Maker
I will meet my Friend
Down a long hard road
With a good, good end

Legacy

I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me

I enjoy an accolade like the rest
You could take my picture
And hang it in a gallery
Of all who's who and so-n-so's
That used to be the best
At such and such
It wouldn't matter much

I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights
We all need an 'Atta boy' or 'Atta girl'
But in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides
The temporary trappings of this world



I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace who
blessed your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy



I don't have to look too far or too long awhile
To make a lengthy list of all that I enjoy
It's an accumulating
Trinket and a treasure pile
Where moth and rust,
Thieves and such
Will soon enough destroy



Not well traveled, not well read,
Not well-to-do or well bred
I just want to hear instead,
"Well done
Good and faithful one..."



I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me.

Blue Skies and Rainbows

Blue skies and rainbows
And sunbeams from Heaven
Are what I can see
When my Lord is living in me

Chorus:
I know that Jesus is well
And alive today
He makes his home in my heart
Never more will I be
All alone since he
Promised me that
We never would part

Green grass and flowers
All blooming in spring time
All makes me aware
Of the one who made it all

Tall mountains, green valleys
The beauty that surrounds me
The works of the Master
I live for each day





Born and raised on that song.
