Because we know
Broken wings can learn to fly…
I’ll still be waiting…
By the wayside
I’m working pirouettes in my mind
Returning to the stage in time…

Can I lend you a Birch branch
Lift you you high as the sky
As if we never said goodbye…
To hope
Though separation draweth nigh
Because we know
We will not die

Because we know
Mended wings can learn to fly…
I’ll still be Praying…Bye and Bye…
While you’re working Pirouettes in your mind
Returning to the stage in time…
Can I lend you a Birch branch
Lift you high as the sky
As if we never said goodbye
to hope
Though separation draweth nigh
Because we know
We will not die…

My Loving Saviour

(A Hymn)

Walking with my loving Saviour

In the grace

He gave to me

I walk in freedom and felicity

Forward on with my love for Thee

Thank you Lord for all You’ve done

Shed Your blood

Gods only Son

Walking with my loving Saviour

As we live and breathe as One

Instrumental

I will never be alone

I know that more than ever now

With Your eyes ever upon me

Through the sunshine and the clouds

Thank you Lord for all You’ve done

Shed Your blood

Gods only Son

I walk in freedom and submission

As we live and breathe as One

Walking with my loving Saviour

As we live and breathe as One

Scripture reference: Psalms 34:15-16

Even my tears, Even my tears, are tainted

Although my ties, Although my ties are true

Through all my fears, Through all my fears I fainted

And fell in love with you

Paying for isolation

Like a long cold winters blues

What a price for isolation

But they gave you all the clues

Your rough, wind blown face, rough, wind blown face had color

Your shoes, a  tattering blue

Your eyes, they twickled out a story

Paying for solitude…

Chorus

I turned and gazed, I turned and gazed, at a new painted face

Looked at new shoes; they had such flattering hues…

Your eyes though fleeting, told a story

Paying for solitude…,

From the benches to the Bread Box

The shock so greatly stark

And the difference came too quickly; for my mind to disembark

He had no place, He had no place, to lay His head

He ran a race, He ran a race of Love

The shoes He walked in; were a patterning

Of a Home that was from Above…

He was walking in isolation

Like a long, cold winters blues

What a price for isolation

He gave you all the clues….

I said my peace, baby

Feel so good

Did all I could, baby

Done all I should

I gots to roll on

I gots to roll on…

Shake the dust off my dancin shoes

And roll on…

You may have won the battle, baby

But you lost the war

There’s a missing piece in the puzzle, baby

My heart’s on the floor…

I gots to roll on

I gots to roll on…

Shake the dust off my dancin shoes

And roll on…

I got my release, baby

You threw me out the door

There’s no way back in, baby

There’s a damper in this rapport

I gots to roll on

I gots to roll on…

Shake the dust off my dancin shoes

And roll on…

No Qualms

I see you now

You are very beautiful.

It was beyond my sight… Till I looked into your eyes…

And I deserve to be here…

To stand upon this mountain top

See the lines that carve my face

They’re perfect in every way…

Pretty petals falling down

All around my sweet, sweet soul

Like lashes to my cries

You are my one desire

I deserve to be here…

To stand upon this mountain top

See the lines that carve my face

They’re perfect in every way

On this rugged mountain climb

I am running in first gear

I need no other years

To soothe this aftertime…

I deserve to be here…

To stand upon this mountain top

See the lines that carve my face

They’re perfect in every way

If my little girl, my princess could say

Would you walk with me Jesus, I need You today

You see the doctor is going to open up my heart

Take some extra beats away…

And I’ll be just fine

I’ll be dreamin’ of cotton candy clouds

In a meadow

Full of flowers all around…

And I’ll be just fine

Chorus

I met Jesus in the eye of the storm

He put His lovin’ arms around me

He keeps me safe and warm

I met Jesus, King of Kings and Lord of Lords

He put His arms around me

He keeps me safe and warm

And I’ll be just fine

If my little girl, my princess could say

Would you walk with me again Jesus, I need you today

You see the doctor is going to open up my head

Take this tumor away

That’s what the doctor said

I’ll be dreamin’ of cotton candy clouds

In a meadow

Full of flowers all around…

And I’ll be just fine

Chorus

Everybody on the ever bending outskirts of time

Be lookin’

At a pretty new horizon

And say…

Chorus

See the children run
Puppies lag behind
Happy goes the wind
Blue birds sing and chime

Take me by the water
Take me by the tide
Take me to the sweet spot
Where love can’t hide (2X)

Lift my spirit high
Lord I love this time
Shall I say drink
Both ways intertwined

Take me by the water
Take me by the tide
Take me to the sweet spot
Where love can’t hide (2X)

See the big girl run
Past the shattered sun
Jane is strumming up the hill
So run Dick, run

Take me by the water
Take me by the tide
Take me to the sweet spot
Where love can’t hide (2X)

See the children run
Puppies lag behind
Where love is just a cleansing word
There is no last line

Take me by the water
Take me by the tide
Take me to the sweet spot
Where love can’t hide (2X)

Words and music by Kelly Sampson Griswold @2010

I love to watch the pine tree needles
Lightly grace a blanket to the ground;
By the still tall pines.
Touch them gently grab some in my hand
While looking past the trail of little fawns;
I feel my smallness standing on the land.

I’ve got Masebesic on my mind,
Like a long lost friend I’ve left behind,
I’ll walk the woods seek treasures I can find…
And I’ll just unwind

Somehow cries the feeling that I’m sipping coffee with you all the while.
If just suddenly.
The feeling’s blue and rising in my heart of hearts truth.
Tears begin to flow.

Chorus

I walk a little further down this path
And step upon this rock by waters’ edge,
Eat an orange wedge.
Toss some change in the crystal water as I move my gaze to the distant shore,
Of lily fish and greens.
Then she appears.

Chorus

Majestic Loon you speak;
you‘re heads above; the bramble bush you clean and, glean alone.
Then you disappear.
Walk up to a log and lay me down
and let the rough bark scratch this itch of time;
I’m a wish’in I could stay here…For a longer while…

Chorus
