Dedication

This book is dedicated to four different people...

First and always Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior who is actually the true author of all my works, for it is he who gives me the talent, knowledge, and all ability I possess. So therefore I dedicate this book to him first.

Secondly I dedicate this book to my dad, Dan. Who I love with all my heart. A man who I never really knew until I left home and found out just how much he loves me.

Thirdly I dedicate this book to my mom, Carol. Who has put up with me through it all, and loved me anyway. Never gave up on me, and even when I didn't deserve it, appreciated my efforts of music (in her own words, "yep, pretty good").

Last, but most definitely not least, I dedicate this book to my loving wife, Sherri. One who tries to understand me. Puts up with my attitudes, frustrations, anticipation's, and failures; and occasionally her understanding pays off. In times like these (as well as all the other times) when she is espically proud of me.

THANK YOU

Danny

 

Introduction

 This is a compiled group of original works written by Rev. Daniel A. Brown III.

We have arranged these works in semi-chronological order, according to the date each was written, (some are in order as to when they were completed as a musical composition, so the dates may not always be exactly in order). Placing them in semi-chronological order will allow you the reader to follow along with the life and experiences of the author. Through reading this book the authors life will unfold before your eyes. You will see first hand the personal joy’s and pains, strengths and weaknesses, struggles, failures and victories.

Although the details of Danny's life are not a part of this book, you will readily see and understand his feelings, convictions, and attitudes as they are reflected through his songs.

Danny started writing when he was 19 years old, and had been playing in Gospel singing groups since he was 13. He has gone through many changes; from musician, to singer, to evangelist, to youth pastor, to husband, to dad, to pastor, all during the course of the writings contained in this book. Thus these writings will allow you to appreciate the way in which Jesus, our LORD, who lives in Danny, flows out to others through his pen.

We personally want to thank you for choosing this publication, and taking the time to sit down and read it. We sincerely hope that this will be an encouragement and a source of strength, as you read and enjoy this collection.

Legion Of Angels 1

 

 I know there are times

when Satan is tempting you

and you feel you just can't win

Oh but in your darkest hour

just pray for God's power

He'll send a legion of angels

then you can win

 

He'll send a legion of angels

to watch over you

A legion of angels

to carry you through

When earth’s seas are raging

you need help there's no doubt

He'll send a legion of angels

to pull you out

 

God’s word says were not fighting

against flesh and blood

but principalities and powers of this world

Oh so without one doubt

in ourselves there's no power

But when we call

on his wonderful name

  

Written By: Daniel A. Brown III

March 10, 1986

 

When I wrote "Legion of Angels" I was following the hearse, from Caledonia Assembly of God Church to the Lost Creek Cemetery near Berryman MO, to bury my Grandma Brown. She had been very Ill with cancer for quite some time, so her death came as no surprise. But I, having been so close to her, was taking it rather hard. She was the first person close to me to die. However while driving to the committal service, God gave me a personal promise in the words of this song, "I’ll send a legion of angels, to carry you through".

I believe God had his hand on me and on everything surrounding me on this very special day. Oh, it was a difficult day to get through indeed. But on the other hand, this was a colossal turning point in my life. For with one moment of inspiration, through my own weakness, I found purpose. If I would not have been so distraught emotionally and only about half thinking, I would have never picked up a pen and started writing down the words that were coming to me. Most of the songs I’ve written were written when I was either to tired to think, or at my wits end emotionally. This first one was not only no exception, it was the example. God always brings out his best, in our worst.

This one experience changed my life more than any other thing I can think of. Through writing "Legion of Angels" God showed me a great part of the call he had placed on my life.

Knowing my Grandma Brown, I’m sure she would have wanted nothing more, than for her grandson to find a key to his spiritual calling through the time of her passing.

 Grandma "I LOVE YOU".

Tell Him How Much You Love Him 2

 

Why don't you give a little blessing to the Lord today

Let him know how much you love him

He understands every trial we face

leads us through them hand in hand

Though we face a little trial every now and then

he loves us through every one of them

So give a little blessing to the Lord today

let him know how much you love him

 

Come on now pick up your head / stand to your feet

Raise up your hands and start to speak

Thank the Lord for everything he's done

for making you his son

When the praise starts coming from your lips

you'll see how light your burden gets

Then your trial will grow so dim

just tell him how much you love him

 

Sometimes we refer to God as love

or as our burden bearer

But in deed we deny his grace and love

for we never kneel in prayer

Whether you stand or sit or jump or crawl

just thank him now for being God

Let him know you know he's the Lord of all

Tell him how much you love him

I'm Yours Now 3

 

Lord here I am

not much to human eyes

But I know with your touch

you'll take away my pride

And make me a vessel

that can be used by you

Take my hands to do your will

that your plan I may fulfill

Just take my life and use it

for I'm yours now

 

I'm yours now

my heart my soul my everything

I'm yours now

for me I want nothing

Lord please take away those stains of sin

and let me be your child again

Just take my life and use it

for I'm yours now

 

Lord I know you hear my plea

and all I wish is to be like thee

Just take this clay and mold it

to the image of your face

And if through my life as I walk this road

you can touch one more hungry soul

My labor is not in vain

for I'm yours now

I've Been Washed In The Blood Of The Lamb 4

  

Now some folks say

I shouldn't talk of blood this way

Now that's bad manners

you just don't talk about those things

But once you've tasted

of that precious crimson flow

You just can't help it

gotta tell it everywhere you go

 

I've been washed in the blood of the lamb

I've been saved, filled with the Holy Ghost I am

I am an heir to the God of Abraham

I've been washed in the blood of the lamb

 

Oh if your sin sick soul

is aching my dear friend

Just turn to Jesus

tell him all the pain there is

He will wash you

then you to will understand

The blessing there is

in the blood of the lamb

As Long As I Know Jesus 5

 

Some may think I am a pauper

some may think I am a king

Some may praise the ground on which I walk

while others mock my name

But whatever mans opinion is

doesn't matter after all

Just as long as I know Jesus

and he knows me at judgment call

 

As long as I know Jesus

every things all right with me

There is a crown up there for me

beyond the glassy sea

As long as I know Jesus

every things all right with me

And though I'm poor, I've got much more

I'm joint heirs with Christ the King

 

Many a rich man and many a pauper

I may meet from day to day

But if I show them God is love

then maybe they to will say

Come in Lord Jesus and sup with me

just fill my cup I pray

For as long as I know Jesus

everything will be okay

The Songwriters Song 6

 

Well I've sat down on the back porch

many times to write a song

I'd write down all my feelings

but they always came out wrong

I'd tell the folks about Jesus

about the father and the son

I'd write about his promises

and all he's ever done

 

Then one day I was praying

on my knees before the Lord

I realized that his songs

are anointed by his word

So I read the word and wrote this song

to tell you that he came

He lived and died, was crucified

that you might be redeemed

 

So if you hear my message

fall on your knees and pray

He'll save your soul, and cleanse your heart

he'll give you peace today

But please don't wait to long

for he is surely calling now

His voice is soft and tender

listen to him please somehow

 

For friend the wages of sin are death

but the gift of God is eternal life

Chose this day whom you will serve

make Jesus the Lord of your life

He came he died upon the cross

to save your soul from all it's loss

If you will ask, he'll set you free

and you will live eternally

In your heart just believe

and he will set you free

Rolling Down Old Forty 7

 

I was rolling down old Forty

listening to the radio

Didn't know where I was headed

had no place to go

But as I listened to the words

of a radio song I realized

They were singing about Jesus

and how for me he died

 

Didn't know the words to the song

so I didn't sing along

I just kept on driving nowhere

as I listened to the songs

There was something about the message

of the tunes that I recall

Jesus blood can heal my body

and his love would save us all

 

(Power in the blood Chorus)

 

So I gave my life to Jesus

now I know those songs are true

Jesus saved my soul, and made me whole

turned gray skies into blue

Now I'm singing for the master

as on down life's road I go

And if you'll give him your life

he'll wash you white as snow

 

(I believe Jesus saves, and His blood washes whiter than snow)

I'm So Excited 8

 

Do you remember old Daniel

when he was thrown in the lions den

He just kept on a praying

and the lions could not hurt him

For God had shut the mouths of the lions

and they couldn't even roar

And Daniel went on praying

even more than he did before

 

I'm so excited, I'm excited

I feel like singing

I'm so excited, I'm excited

I've just got to praise the Lord

And when we praise him, we start rejoicing

we'll have that victory

Go get excited, get excited

come and see

 

When the day of Pentecost had fully come

and they were all with one accord

They just kept on a praying

and praising the Lord

There came a sound from Heaven

as a rushing mighty wind

And he filled their utmost being

yes every one of them

This song was written while I was playing bass guitar for a gospel singing group in St. Louis MO. The only problem was I had to stand still, not move at all, and play simple base patterns, I was even instructed not to move my lips along with the singers. Well to say the least, my feelings spilled out, and we wound up with, "I’m So Excited".

I Can't Wait 9

 

Well when I was but a child

we would sing them good old songs

About Jesus coming back

to take his children home

Now the signs are oh so clear

that that time is drawing near

Soon that day will be here

and I can't wait

 

I can't wait,

till I get to the other side

I can't wait,

in his love I'll ever abide

When he takes me by the hand

I will join that angel band

To sing praises to the lamb

and I can't wait

 

Well as Jesus was ascending

up into the clouds of glory

He said comfort one another

with this simple little story

If he went away, he'd come again

and would receive us unto him

I can't wait till that day

I can't wait

An Overcomer's Standing Here 10

 

You say you just don't know how hard it is

to meet the Devil eye to eye

Don't you know that he's defeated

when in Christ's love ye abide

Though many tears many times

you may have seen me cry

I conquered every trial

when I stood at Jesus side

 

I know I know I surely know

it makes my joy bells ring

No trial can overcome me

when in God's word I'm standing

So when I feel persuaded

to yield to earthly fears

I confess to everyone around

an Overcomer's standing here

 

If we ask of the father

for a little piece of bread

Do you think he would give us

a stone instead

Remember Paul and Silas

and I think that you will find

All of Jesus' answers

keep coming right on time

But Jesus 11

 

Bill collector called today

nothing new he had to say

Except my payments overdue

but that I already knew

It seems my road is full of bends

there's always something to attend

it seems my trials never end

 

But Jesus, is the answer

when all of mine have failed

And Jesus, is the sea calmer

when my ship has failed to sail

When the mountains to high

or the rivers to wide

it seems I've reached the bitter end

Well I don't know how but Jesus

helps me through it once again

 

Trials surround me on all sides

there are tears in my eyes

On this one thing I can depend

that he is coming back again

And when I think of him returning

then my soul begins to yearning

I see these trials are little things

I Just Must Live For Jesus 12

 

Just why I live for Jesus

some folks just can't understand

They just don't know the peace there is

when holding to his hand

They never knelt and prayed at an altar

the way that I once did

They don't realize that Jesus died

for them that they might live

 

(But) I saw the tree where Jesus bled

and died for all my sins

On that cruel tree he paid the price

now I can have sweet peace within

And if that's not enough he has promised us

he'd give us everlasting life

I just must live for Jesus

every day of my life

 

As Jesus rose up through the clouds

he said comfort one another with these words

If I go away I will come again

and the story we've often heard

But if you fail to heed the masters call

and kneel at an altar of prayer

He'll come and take his bride away

and you'll be left in your despair

Lead Me On 13

 

Sometimes I'm low in spirit

sometimes I feel all alone

But when I turn to Jesus he's always

there to help me through the storm

Though sometimes I can't see the light of day

He's there beside me all the way

He meets my need and then he

gently leads me on

 

Lead me on, precious Jesus

Lead me on though the way is rough

For whatever comes my way I know

that you can lead me on

Lead me on, through the midnight

Lead me on, though tears hide the light

Lead me on, Blessed Savior

Lead me on

 

Lord there are things in my life I don't understand

Things in this life, I can't comprehend

But by your grace, you'll see me through

till that day I reign with you

So whether darkness of night, or light of day

I know that you are going to make a way

So answer Lord, please when I pray

for you to lead me on

Let's Keep Singing 14

 

Some folks just don't understand

the change that's been in me

But though they don't believe it

it don't change the facts you see

Christ died upon Mt. Calvary

on the third day rose again

He set me free and I'm gonna sing

and bless his name again

 

I'm so glad that, Jesus found me

I'm so happy, because I'm free

He sent his spirit, it's dwelling in me

and now I'm shouting victory

Let's keep singing, keep on shouting

have a little heaven, while were down here

And the road is so much brighter

and our path is full of cheer

 

Now you may think I'm crazy

or maybe just insane

But that really doesn't matter though

there's power in Jesus name

And if you don't receive it

surely death will be your goal

But as for those who still receive

let's sing before we go

 

He set me free so I can sing

his praises unto him

When I sing his praises

his power comes again

So I'll sing until old Gabriel

blows his trumpet loud and strong

& When he blows that trumpet lord

the saints are going home

The Fences Are Falling 15

 

Satan has some strong holds

holding these people down

If they refuse to praise the lord

let the stones make a joyful sound

Jesus is a sure foundation

he's the rock that won't roll away

Just turn your eyes to Jesus

say old devil get out of the way

 

You can't ride on the fences

You can't ride on the wall

You can't ride on the fences

for the fence is fixing to fall

Jesus said your either cold or hot

better make your choice today

Better make your choice to serve the Lord

or brother your fixing to pay

 

You've been living compromise

exceptions to the rules

Peer pressure all around you

and you don't know which to choose

Either get right or get left my friend

you've got everything to lose

Because if you miss that rapture

you'll soon be singing the blues

 

Remember Christ the savior

when he cursed that old fig tree

He said if you don't bare no fruit

you ain't no good to me

So if that flesh your living in

is just an empty shell

You better get your house in order

so you'll save your soul from hell

Touch Some Soul Through Me Today 16

 

Headlines read disaster

the world is falling apart

A child far away is dying

and sometimes just of a broken heart

The anchor man says there is no hope

for survivors lost at sea

Our evening news is so depressing

it seems it's killing you and me

 

Lord please give me eyes to see

me fellow man who's crying desperately

Let me show their aching wasting soul

you can wash him make him white as snow

Help me not to see his filthy rags

just let me see the pain he has

Just let me be your vessel lord

to touch that soul through me today

 

While there is just no place like home

in this beautiful land of the free

We seem to be so blinded

living in our luxury

Every where it's all around us

the end times are here right now

How can we justify our blinded eyes

our friends are headed straight for hell

Lord You Are So Loving 17

 

When people don't understand me

Lord sometimes they take me wrong

His love will always pull me through

He holds my hand and makes me strong

Though Satan come against me

Like a mighty roaring lion

I know from whenst cometh my help

there's power in Jesus name

 

Lord you are so loving

no man can be so kind

I love you Lord with all my heart

my body soul and mind

Very soon your coming for your bride

with robes of spotless white

And on that white cloud in the sky

to heaven we will fly

 

When Jesus was down here on earth

he went through trials, tribulation, and pain

But his father up in heaven above

gave him all power through his name

Now he's sitting at his fathers side

at the right hand of the King

Interceding for you and I

He gives us strength when we call his name

PRAISE THE LORD THROUGH THE VALLEYS 18

 

Way down somewhere in my soul there's a longing

To see Jesus have his way in my life

With every trail that comes my way

He will give me when I pray

The answer to all this worlds pain and strife

 

Prince of peace, God of plenty

From whom all blessings flow

Jehovah God, Lord God almighty

I want the whole wide world to know

Though there (are) mountains, in the way

He will move them when you pray

And praise the Lord, through the valleys

Praise the Lord

 

Oh the friends I meet along this road I'm walking

May not understand, the way I feel inside

and though the road is dark and drear

I've a friend who's always near

He is my closest friend, in him I can abide

If ye abide in me, and I in thee

You have never need to fear

For when the trials come, and the pressure's on

You will find I'm always near

So keep on walking, down that road,

Until you reach that final goal

And you will find, every time,

On every mountain, you must climb

That I am there, to give you cheer

And blessed strength, in your despair

So just trust in me, Just trust in me

And I'll be there

HE WILL PERFORM YOUR MIRACLE 19

 

Let me tell you a story, that happened long ago

About Abraham and Sarah, this is how the story goes

Now the lord told old Abraham, your gonna have a son

And Abraham believed it, what the Lord said it would be done

 

Sarah laughed when she heard the news, she said this could not be true

She was at the age of 90, her womb was barren since her youth

But what the Lord said he completed, Sarah's miracle was done

Abraham fathered many nations, Just as the Lord said would be done

 

Well God knows the miracle, Your looking for today

Turn to him for the answer, he will not turn you away

Don't speak defeat or faithlessness, believe the word he says and

He will perform your miracle, Just put your trust in Jesus hands

 

Well I was once in bondage, to every person place and thing

I was lost in the dark of night, could not see the light of day

Then I heard Jesus calling me, from the bondage's of sin

And I gave it all to Jesus, and he gave me peace within

 

He will perform your miracle

He will he said he would

He will perform your miracle

He will don't ya know he could

If you'll just ask him believing

It's already on the way

He will perform your miracle

Just believe him when you pray

One More Time Lord 20

 

Do you recall in

John the twentieth chapter

When the Lord, came unto them

And when they saw him

there in their presence

He spoke peace, peace unto them

 

One more time lord

let us feel your presence

One more time

like you did back then

Just let us feel your

precious Holy Spirit

Moving through our

lives once again

 

If we but get our hearts

in the attitude of worship

and we begin to praise the lord

He'll send his spirit

into our presence

just like he did on that day before

Written at Bob & Ida Lawson’s at the old upright piano I had put in their living room. We would often have singings and prayer meetings in her living room or out on the porch. What wonderful memories of the power of God saturating the room with his presence. That was truly our prayer, every time we came together, "One More Time LORD"

 

God Still Saves 21

 

Today I started down

a street I used to trod

I saw that same old crowd

I used to be a part of

I saw their disappointment

their gloom and deep despair

And I prayed to God in heaven

help me to make them aware

 

God still saves, he saves

no matter where you've been

He'll change your life completely

and give you peace within

He'll take you off that road your walking

with such a heavy load

And put you on the straight and narrow

that will lead to streets of gold

 

Now my friend if your the one

this song was written for

Please listen to it's message

for it's meaning is much more

You see streets with signs and pot holes

need repair from day to day

But the message in this song is love

that will never fade away

Let's Stop ... And Thank The Lord 22

 

When lightning strikes, and thunder rolls

it seems this world is growing cold

And when you stop and look around

there's not a friend that can be found

And when you can't tell night from day

your answer seems so far away

Just take the time to look up now

cause Jesus is reaching down

 

So let's STOP! and thank the Lord

for the valleys along the road

And when we thank him, through the testing

he starts to pouring, another blessing

 

You say you don't quite understand

just how he reaches down his hand

How by giving thanks through trials you face

he gives you this unseeming grace

But just you try it and you'll find

that it will work time after time

Just take the time to look up now

for Jesus is reaching down

The Captain Is Leading Me Home 23

 

Down Here we go through tribulation

just why we don't understand

But I know God's there beside me

for I feel him holding my hand

When it seems I've reached the end of my rope

he reaches down and puts me back in the boat

And soon I'll sail to the other shore

and I'll praise his name ever more

 

I'm going home some happy day

I will reach that heavenly shore

I'll have no more pain all sunshine no rain

and I'll see those who've gone on before

And though I've been through some rough seas down here

and though I've seen the billows grow fierce

My captain has guided my vessel so well

soon I'm gonna' stand and tell

 

Hey everybody listen to me now

I've got somethin' that I wanna' tell you about

I've come cross the rivers and the seas and oceans

but Jesus helped me keep my ship in motion

No stormy gale no wind to rough

that Jesus couldn't make a way out for us

Now we've nearly made it to that heavenly shore

Let's praise his name ever more

 

If you see my burdens heavy

I'm cumbered with a load of care

Don't worry about my burden

my father dries every tear

Just whisper a word of prayer for me

and the master will calm the raging sea

And although the ways been rough and long

I'll still be singing my song

He's There 24

 

Where will you go

when the party's over

To who will you turn

when friends are gone

And loneliness has hovered

all around you

Just call on Jesus

for the strength to carry on

 

He's there in lonely times

He's there when you need him

He's there when all the worlds against you

or you just might need a friend

He's there through every disappointment

though you stumbled and you fell

He'll pick you up and start you singing

put a rainbow through your cloud as well

 

So many people in this world

have so much heartache

They just can't seem to find

which way to go

But if they could only

turn to Jesus

He'd be there friend as on down

life's road they go

He Has Called Us To His Kingdom 25

 

Some he made apostles

to preach his holy word

Some he made evangelists

to sing and preach from church to church

But to us yes every one and all

he gave a ministry

He has called us to his kingdom

so that men may be set free

 

Now Jesus came from heaven

and he walked among men

He came for our redemption

to fulfill salvation's plan

He died upon Mt. Calvary

on the third day rose again

He has called us to his kingdom

to win lost souls to him

 

He said, Friends I must go away

to set at my fathers side

He's up there in that land so fair

my pilot and my guide

He is building me a mansion fair

next to his fathers throne

He has called us to his kingdom

and very soon he'll take us home

Sinner Please Listen 26

 

We talk down here about troubles

about sins and the things of this life

We see all the heartache and struggle

and we say lord why must we cry

He says there's a soul out there crying

please give me peace within

So we go on a singing, a teaching, and preaching

so another can make him their friend

 

Oh sinner please listen

if there's something you're missing

my Lord has the key for you today

He said he would be there

to answer your prayer

just fall on your knees and pray

If you'll just ask believing

in your heart you'll receive him

he'll come in and make your heart right

He'll walk there beside you

his big hand to guide you

and give you eternal life

 

We talk down here about mansions

about gold and the things of this life

But there's only one true satisfaction

that makes you feel good down inside

It's not found in a bottle, in a pill-box, or wallet

or smoking something just to get high

The only real satisfaction, comes from the action

of making Jesus the Lord of your life

The Painting 27

 

My friend let me paint a picture

of a man who's race is run

A warning is in order

if you, know not, God's son

For the scene upon my canvas

is not pretty to the eye

But if you will heed it's warning

your soul will never die

You see a man called Christ descended

a long long time ago

He spoke of love and mercy

and of how to free the soul

But they tried and convicted him

they mocked him to shame

He died upon a rugged tree

loving you through all his pain

Now it's been many years since he was here

and the story is often told

Many won't receive it

say it happened so long ago

But if you'll heed this warning

he will save your soul from sin

And when you start believing

you will find true peace within

Now friend you can see the picture

unveiled before your eyes

It has no fancy border

but it brings a soft surprise

If you'll believe the story

your eyes see, your soul will tell

Though the painting's rather simple

the message saves your soul from hell

He's My Friend 28

 

You say it's hard, to find a real friend

one who'll stick through thick and thin

When trials come, it seems their all gone

there's no one to lend a hand

I know a friend who is that real friend

on him you can depend

If you'll put your trust in this friend

he'll go with you through the end

 

He's my friend

when ever I need him

He's my friend

and he holds my hand

He's my friend

through the darkness of midnight

He is my closest friend

like no other has ever been

 

In Psalms, the 37th chapter

King David, of old once said

"I have never, seen the righteous forsaken

or their seed, out begging for bread"

So when friends down here they leave you

they may leave you, all alone

Simply put your trust in Jesus

he will never, leave you on your own

Help Me Keep My Eyes Upon You 29

 

Lord you know I have some faults

and oft times they get me down

But as long as I stand beside you

I'm heading for that Higher Ground

I speak your name and your there again

even in my lowest hour

Guiding me so I can see

I'm learning overcoming power

 

Oh Lord I need to feel your touch

the double portion of your grace

I need to feel your nail scarred hands

see the image of your face

Let my soul be endued with power

that comes from God on high

Help me keep my eyes upon you

for you may come back tonight

 

Yes now I can see the answer

to every trial I go through

I just keep my eyes upon his face

his nail scarred hand will lead me through

So Lord take my hand, my heart and soul

until we stroll that golden strand

And when I finally reach that city

I will join that angel band

Never Despair, Jesus Is There 30

 

Are the winds a little gusty

are the waves a little rough

Do you say when your tossed about

the storms just never let up

There's not a man in all this world

who can calm the winds and still the turmoil

So quit looking for a hero

and let Jesus have control

 

Never despair

Jesus is there

When no one cares

he'll care for you

Never despair

Jesus is there

When your load's to hard to bear

he will share it with you

 

There's no valley that's to big

there's no mountain that's to high

There's no ocean that's to far across

or when work cannot be found

God Will Part The Water 31

 

Does Satan come against you

he surround you like a flood

When your trying to walk forward

do you bog down in the mud

Remember that old story

in the Bible it was told

'Bout Moses and old Israel

and how God let them go

Well Pharaoh had God's children

in bondage unto him

He would not let them go

so God sent plagues throughout the land

Israel came down to the Red Sea

and they walked right on across

But Pharaoh's army drowned

for our God let down the walls

God will part the water

Satan's rolling in on you

He'll dry up all the mud

so that you can walk on through

When you've done all that you can to stand

then he will stand for you

And when you and Jesus stand

old Satan he is through

Well victory can be sung now

by anyone that's true

Because Satan was defeated

when Christ Jesus died for you

So when that toothless lion

starts roaring, say hey look

Satan your defeated

See here it's written in the book

I Want To Be A Witness 32

 

There are things which I have done before

things of which I am not proud

When I think of them at night

I don't sleep, I just toss about

Then I remember how Jesus bled and died

to take away my sin

Those sins are gone, they're all washed away

he made me a brand new man

 

Lord I want to be a witness

for you, and show your glory

I want to tell the world

just what you've done for me

Let some hurting soul hear what I have to say

as I lift up your holy name

Lord I want to be a witness for you

and help my brother through

 

Now when I see someone in sin

I see the load their bearing

And I wish that they could feel the love

with Jesus I am sharing

But can they hear without a preacher

how will they know without they're told

If we don't share the love of Jesus

they'll never walk on streets of gold

Ask for the old paths

For your souls you will find rest

And walk therein

 

Seek out the old paths

And walk therein

The way of our Fathers

Who sought after God's command

Let's read our Bibles

Pray again and again

Let's seek out the old paths

And walk therein

 

You say Satan's come against you

He's surrounding like a flood

Well get down on your knees

Read the word, and plead the blood

Then stand up and tell old Satan

Get in line with the word

For He must heed to our every command

Let go and let God

Let go and let God

GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS 36

 

We come to church on Sunday morning

kneel to pray, and stand and sing

Listen to a fifteen minute sermon

then we hear that dinner bell ring

We bow our heads, and fold our hands

God is great, God is good Amen

Then it's back next Sunday morning

to go through the same old thing

 

Well were going through the motions

we've got all the right moves

We know where to sit, and where to stand

but it seems were warming the pews

We've lost the desire to intercede

and spend time with the Lord down on our knees

While we're going through the motions

our first love we failed to keep

 

Well we're proud to claim the Christian name

to friends we meet and see

But our actions speak louder than our words

when you're out upon the street

We don't go to movies or worldly places

that would be a sin

But a love for a lost and dying world

we've failed to keep within

On wings as eagles

I'm learning how to fly

ON wings as eagles

sailing to lofty heights

While the storms, are a raging

I'm waiting on the Lord

Upon wings as an eagle

I'm safely above the storm

 

Their are times I feel lonely

sometimes I'm tossed about

When I see the situation

Then I'm reminded about waiting

and I know it comes to pass

So I put my faith in Jesus

WHY CAN'T WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER 38

 

At times the battle is raging

and we become so confused

When someone is aching

we somehow fail to be used

Why can't we just turn to Jesus

his word will show what to do

Why can't we love one another

the way the Lord would have us do

 

Why can't we love one another

learn to make each other strong

While each one prays for the other

become the way we belong

When in accord we're together

we know the spirit is near

Why can't we love one another

and fill our hearts with cheer

 

At times it seems I'm self centered

all I think about is me

Someone somewhere is hurting

and I'm too blind to see

If I can just see the master

let his love flow through me

I can love my brother

NOT A MAN 39

  

I have not a man,

said the man at Bethesda

Not a man to put me in

when the waters troubled, and set me free

So Jesus washed away his sin

with the love of God Jehovah

Said rise take up thy bed ad walk

and it was done immediately

 

Well their is not a man

who can put you in the water

Their is not a man

who can set your spirit free

But I know the son of man

and he has walked upon the water

And He sacrificed his life

so that we could be set free

 

Some folks may think they need a man

someone who'll help them when they're weaker

They just don't understand

how Jesus blood could set them free

But Jesus has a plan

that works for every believer

You see He died upon the cross

His blood was shed to set you free

Out Of This Word 45

 

When I was young

my mother often warned me

"If you procrastinate

your work will never end"

When we put off

our time of Gods word reading

It hurts God so

for he knows our strengths therein

 

Out of this word

flows healing from the Savior

Out of this word

a fountain pure and clean

It is the balm

that cleanses every believer

Out of this word

flows love to you and me

 

Now when the cares

of life have run you over

And the road

just seems to go nowhere

Your burdens heavy

and you wish the Lord were closer

Just read his word

and you will find him waiting there

He Will Always Be My Lord 46

 

They say that all good things must end

and that a loser cannot win

A man that's hurting deep within

is never truly freed from sin

But there is one who's always been

he's the son of the God of Abraham

Though the dark of night once reigned within

I'm abiding in the light of the son of man

I know that I have been washed clean

with the blood of Calvary

My song of praise will always be

to the one who died for me

My heart once battered scarred and torn

can sing a song of praise once more

Yes Jesus has my soul reborn

and he will always be my lord

Some say we're the victim of destiny

some say what will be will be

A blinded man can never see

the futures bleak for you and me

But I know one who calmed the sea

and that same one now lives in me

If his child you will be

then you will live eternally

With fire and brimstone, he burnt them to a crisp

when he simply said well done

Well done, Well done

your reward you will receive

Well done, Well done

you could have just believed

Whether well done faithful servant

enter thou into the joys of the Lord

Or well done burn forever

We will all receive our reward

Well remember in the Bible, a story that was told

about people and their love for gold

Ananias and Saphira lied to the Lord

they didn't think he'd keep his word

Well God said your gonna pay for this evil deed

your justice you will receive

So he struck them dead right there on the spot

when he simply said well done

When I complete my journey, and I stand before God

with a list of all the deeds that I've done

I wanna hear him tell'em spare the chastening rod

his names here, he's my son

Every sin that I've committed is under the blood

and now I'm glory bound

My eternal reward is over on the other shore

where I'll hear God say well done

Daddy Knows 49

 

Some Christians think they're pulling the wool

right down over daddy's eyes

They think what's done in secret

will never come to light

They think their secret sins

have really been disguised

And no one knows, just them alone

but daddy knows

 

Daddy knows the number

of each hair upon my head

He knows where ere I wonder

he knows when I go to bed

His eyes see every sparrow fall

he hears each baby cry

Whether big or small, he loves us all

yes, daddy knows

 

Now when I get discouraged

when these knees, have failed to stand

When it seems that no one cares for me

there's no one to lend a hand

When it seems I'm at my lowest

and I need to feel God's power

It's then that I'm reminded

yes, Daddy knows

Jesus Is All To Me 50

 

If today I lost all I own

my possessions in this world

And I had to start all over again

to make it the best I could

Well I know if I had Jesus

everything would be okay

For as long as I have Jesus

I have everything I need

Jesus is all to me, he's everything I need

He's the breath of life, when I am weak

he gives me strength when I call his name

He's the one, who's made, the flowers grow

he's made mine eyes to see

Jesus is all to me, he's everything I need

Before I have taken for granted

all my blessings from the Lord

I didn't realize he cared for me

and he'd be with me where I'd go

But now he lifts me up above the clouds

when I meet him on bended knee

And through the storm, I'm not alone

he is everything I need

Tag

Jesus is all to me, he's everything I need

He's the light at the end of the darkness

that light I now can see

Although, I'm looking, through a smoky glass

very soon his face I'll see

Jesus is all to me, he's everything I need

I Will Sing 51

  

He told me, child your chosen

He told me, child your loved

He called me to his kingdom

I'm royalty now through his blood

He's given me the power

to reign victorious over sin

I've traded guilt and such confusion

for this peace I have within

 

So I will sing

and praise his holy name

I will sing a song of worship

I will sing a song of praise

I'll gladly stand up for the Savior

just as he stood for me

I'll praise his name for the redemption

he bought for me on Calvary

 

When the road ahead gets long and dark

with burdens and with cares

I call his name, and he's there again

in the hour of my despair

So why should I go to another

when perfect peace I've found

It seems like I'm in heaven

although my feet are on the ground

Jesus Cares For Me 52

 

Many times I feel unworthy

I feel oh so small

When Satan starts to whisper

those lies that once made me fall

I feel the hand of Jesus

and I know he's always there

He walks beside me all the while

I know my Jesus cares

 

Jesus cares for me

Oh yes he cares for me

He sends his angels

to watch over me

He walks right by my side

and the evil he betides

He meets my every need

yes Jesus cares for me

 

Now when Satan starts to whisper

I say get thee behind

Jesus gave me authority

old slew-foot which to bind

With the tempter far behind me

I shall live in victory

Shouting glory hallelujah

Jesus cares for me

His Hands 53

 

Did you ever hear someone say

look at that mans hands

You can tell he's had a hard life

he must have lived from off the land

But the greatest story ever told

by the hands of any man

Was the story that the nail prints showed

when Jesus died to cleanse my sin

 

His hands showed suffering

his hands knew pain

His hands healed sick bodies

with just one touch their whole again

His hands bore my cross

on the way to Calvary

And his hands still showed such love

as soldiers nailed them to the tree

 

As a child I thought my mothers hands

were the best I'd ever view

Her hands were always gentle

she always knew just what to do

They pointed right to Jesus

and every time he was there

With his hands outstretched he'd whisper

Peace, my child I care

Written By: Daniel A. Brown III

November 24, 1986

 

 

Even though this song mentions my Mothers hands, it was actually my Daddy’s hands that inspired this song. He, being an auto body repair man, always had callused, cracked, and dirty looking (stained) hands. I remember many times seeing his hands and thinking to myself, I’ll never let my hands look like that. But one day it suddenly dawned on me, that each of those scars, scrapes, scratches, and stains were made trying to support me and our family. Then suddenly those same hands went from ugly to precious in my eyes. And I could see Jesus hands, though scarred, precious also.

Calvary 54

  

There's a place I hold so dear to my heart

it's a place I often go

So many have found this peace I have now

it's beauty so often has been told

To the human eye it's attraction is so small

it's there my Savior gave his all

And all who go there, can have peace within

and find strength within to be strong

 

Oh Calvary is my refuge

when I'm troubled and my light grown dim

And at Calvary, I find strength to be

triumphant over sin

Oh my friend just look to Jesus

for your strength in the time of storm

And you will find, a hand so kind

waiting there at Calvary

 

Now at Calvary, so long ago

a man named Jesus, he died

And on a cruel cross, for all my sin

the son of God was crucified

But on the third day, he rose up from the grave

over sin and death victorious

He reigns today and he sent me to say

he loves you just as much

Why Must We Bury Our Wounded Soldier 55

  

There are often warriors

wounded in battle

At the face of the enemy

It seems their strength is gone

But with some prayer and assistance

Dr. Jesus can heal them

And when that warrior returns to war

He'll learn to fight and be strong

 

Why must we bury

our wounded soldier

When we could pray for them

and make them strong

We could make them whole again

with the love of our father

Oh we must try and make

that weak soldier strong

 

Now there are many

who sometimes stumble

And through there own weaknesses

submit to sin

But when we see them stumble

we should learn to be humble

Kneel and help them before they crumble

instead of walking over them

There Ain't No-body, Gonna Hold My Body Down 56

 

Jesus is coming soon

this I surely know

Without a doubt I know it's true

the Bible tells me so

And it also says to comfort

one another with these words

So I'm singing shouting happy

for the good news I have heard

 

There ain't nobody

Gonna' hold my body down

There ain't nobody

Gonna' keep me on the ground

When Jesus calls me to the sky

That very moment I'm gonna' fly

There ain't nobody

Gonna' hold my body down

 

Now when you feel disheartened

Getting lower by the hour

Your looking all around you

for some kind of peace or power

Just take a look toward heaven

and then on to the throne

You'll have peace like a river

for your God's still on the throne

 

Jesus said in the last days

he would pour out of his spirit

He'd give of peace and power

to everyone who'd hear it

So when I'm feeling lowly

cares of life are weighing down

I put my faith in Jesus

and my mind is glory bound

Just Tell It To Jesus 57

  

Well you can talk to your neighbor, you can talk to the wall

you can talk to the man on the radio

You can talk until, you are blue in the face

and still not make your feelings known

But when you get your mind on Jesus, and you talk to the Lord

he hears every single word

Their is no misunderstanding, no request is to demanding

when you speak to him you know your always heard

 

So just tell it to Jesus

whenever you may have a problem

No matter what the situation

you know that he will always solve them

Just start to praying in the spirit

you know that he will always hear it

And he will answer when you speak it

he is the only one who can

 

Now when you discover, the power in prayer

and you see what simple faith can do

You'll see he's one true friend, whenever you call on him

no matter where, he comes through

When you speak to him in secret, and with faith you believe it

no telling what you can do

You will always receive, what you need when you ask him

so talk to him and he will bring you through

I've Never Been To Heaven 61

  

One day while driving home

and listening to the radio

I fell asleep and drifted off the road

headed for a concrete pole

Then so suddenly awakened

as I hit a small chug-hole

I said Lord I've never been to heaven

but I just came mighty close

 

I've never been to heaven

but I once came mighty close

If Jesus hand had not been on me

my life would have been over

But his angels were watching over me

and his hand still leads the way

So Lord please keep your hand on me

For I need you more today

 

Now through the daily struggle

that life may send our way

We've all encountered situations when

we nearly entered heavens gates

Oh the lesson this could teach us now

just how urgent is the hour

We would all become bold witnesses

to God's awesome saving power

The Steps Of A Good Man Are Ordered By The Lord 62

 

Some men see the Bible

as a little promise book

And it's sure full of promises

but ya' better take a second look

For seeing is believing

when your face to face with sin

And if there's rebellion in your heart

you'll never have true peace within

 

The steps of a good man

are ordered by the Lord

And the fruit of his labor

is a flourishing reward

Though he be criticized, false accused,

and mocked among men

The savior walks before him

and his heart is free from sin

 

God's orders are always given

just to whom they may concern

Concerned enough to walk the walk

or they won't go when he returns

And his orders are not always

the way of least resistance

But when your stepping in the steps of Jesus

You will have his sweet assistance

I don't need, any wishing wells

I don't need any time to cry

All I need, is my savior there

walking right by my side

Then at night when I'm troubled

I can sing a lullaby

And when I run to him

I have a quiet place to hide

 

When the talk of the town, starts to get me down

and it's more than I can bear

All I have to do, is look around

and I find that he is there

Waiting right there patiently

for me to call his name

And when I call on him

his words are still the same

 

Child, your heart is in my hand

Child, my love for you will never end

Though you may run away and hide

I'll be right by your side

to pick you up, when you are all alone

When your heart is in despair

you will know I'm always there

so child, come on home

 

When my hope has all gone, with my strength to go on

and I don't know what to do

I call out on him, and he shows me again

his love is always true

And though I often stumble

life's trials may bring me low

I know he'll always have for me

a place that I can go

All Rights Reserved 64

 

One day I heard Satan whisper

God never hears you pray

He'll never hear or understand

a single word you say

Then I heard God's gentle voice saying

child never fear

And as he turned to Satan

these words I heard so clear

All rights reserved

this child is mine

Nothing can take him

when his hearts in tune with mine

All rights reserved

for me alone

And I'm watching over him

till the day he makes it home

Now as I heard God's words

as he spoke them to Satan

A heavenly peace had settled there

where fear had just been

And I recall I'll never leave you

I'll be with you till the end

And I know that he is keeping me

he's near and he's my friend

So don't give up, we're at the end

People need Jesus

They need to know God loves them

He will understand their hurt

When there seems no way, he'll make it work

People need Jesus

They need to know he's always there

With every burden that we bear

People need Jesus

 

People can be so blind

through all their searching never find

and yet they keep on reaching more

They have music and movies

they have race-cars and baseball

And no fulfillment is found at all

for people need Jesus

Listen As He Whispers 66

 

So you've slipped and stumbled

you've fallen once again

And this is not the first time

Satan tricked you into sin

But the Holy Spirit's wooing

he whispers "peace be still"

If you'll listen as he whispers

you will hear I love you still

Listen as he whispers

he's speaking to you now

Though his voice is soft, it's clear to hear

I love you still somehow

And though you've slipped and stumbled

Don't lay there in the mud

Listen as he whispers

for he whispers "child your loved"

Sometimes we get discouraged

it seems the roads to rough

That hill up ahead Lord it's a big one

to climb it's just to tough

But with the Lord's hand guiding

his spirit leads the way

If we'll listen as he whispers

we're safe in his arms to stay

Then the Lord reminded me of the prophet who looked for God in the wind & rain (the commotion), but found him in the quiet, with a still small voice. And he let me know to get away and listen.

God's Still In Control 67

  

Some folks worry about the strangest things

God's still in control

When a trial comes they find it hard to sing

that God's still in control

If they'd learn to lay it at the cross

they'd know that all is not lost

And find that peace that can't be bought

because God's still in control

 

God's still in control

He still makes the flowers grow

He wants you and I to know

Don't gotta worry about tomorrow

And when that trial comes your way

Just stand your ground, look Satan in the face

Raise your hands to the Lord and say

My God's still in control

 

Although the night is closing in

God's still in control

It seems I've lost my last friend

but God's still in control

My burdens start to get me down

I just look up and I lose my frown

Because I know that soon I'm gonna leave the ground

My God's still in control

A Little Love 68

  

I hear people say that God is love

but they don't know his love or grace

They say that God is up above

but they live as a disgrace

If he's is up above, he's here below

he knows who does, and who doesn't know

But the only way this world will know

is for us to let love show

 

This world could use a little love

more smiles instead of frowns

A more caring sharing attitude

more ups instead of downs

We could be more gentle with our words

say things that help, instead of hurt

Show people Jesus here on earth

and prove God's love is real

 

When Jesus walked upon this earth

he spoke of things to come

He told of war and disaster

and there surely will be some

But he also left some promises

if we would live just as he did

He would build a mansion home for us

where we would forever live

I'd Rather Walk Down The Old-Time way 70

 

Well a man told me the other day

boy your just to old fashioned

That old time way in the old time day

was good so I'd imagine

But hey now it's the 80's man

and a new day has dawned

 

I turned to him, and said my friend

Sir I'm afraid your wrong

Well this old time way we're talking about

is a straight way yes I know

A holiness path that few go down

so told us in the Bible

But there are only two paths,

for a man to travel down

One way leads straight to the grave

and the other to a crown

 

I'd rather walk down the old time way

and save my weary soul

Than to live out the lusts of this modern day

reaping the fruit, as I go

For the way of a transgressor

is hard to walk my friend

The old time way's far better now

and it gets better in the end

 

Well he looked at me with a little frown

and said I don't quite understand

I never hurt anyone

I'm not really a bad man

either for me or against

you can't ride on the fence

Made me brand new again

Please Tell Me Jesus Loves Me 75

I had a friend who was a very close to me. He and I had played together in gospel groups for some time. But his father got offended with they’re pastor (over money), and quit their church. Consequently my friend wasn’t able to play in our Christian band. We grew apart, and a young man that had been in church nearly every day and night for years, was now being influenced by a new crowd.

He called me up 6 months later, on Christmas Eve, and asked me to meet him a Denny’s. He said "Al, I’m drunk, I’m high, and I’m sacred". I agreed to meet him, and for nearly 2 hours my friend sat across the table from me and cried, telling me all about his sad experiences.

Somewhere in the course of his story he stopped and asked me a question, bold and straight, he asked, "Do you think Jesus still loves me?". I tried to assure him Jesus did still love him, but I don’t think I ever convinced him, to the place he could forgive himself.

I went home that night, and immediately wrote down the things my friend had told me. The night was far spent, but I couldn’t rest, until I had set it to music, and sang it through several times. I believe with all my heart, there are a lot of people today, crying out, "Please Tell Me Jesus Love Me".

Praise God

from whom all blessings flow

Praise God

I want the whole wide world to know

As I walk he's leading me

every hour he's keeping me

Praise God...

he loves me so

 

Step by step one day at a time

I'm pressing on that upward climb

As I walk and hold his hand

I know he'll make me stand

And though it's dark and friends are few

I know he knows just what to do

As long as I just follow him

he will do it again

To Live Anointed 77

 

 To live anointed

To let my light shine

For blind eyes

To see again

With all my heart

My soul and spirit

To be anointed

And free from sin

 

Written By: Daniel A. Brown III

May 22, 1987

Written while riding to South Dakota with my friend Mark Upchurch and his wife. After I finished writing it, we sang it all the way to the airforce base in South Dakota. Mark was the base player for the singing group "Anointed" which I was playing piano for at the time.

I was going through an aufil lot at this time, my life had fallen apart. I was going through divorce procedings, and little did I know, that on this very same night, while I was in South Dakota, someone would break into the church at home, steal my equipment and some church equipment and the pastor would blame me for it. I was accused of stealing the equipment, pawning it, takeing the money and running away to South Dakota.

Needless to say, when I returned home, and found the police, highway patrol, and everyone else was looking for me, "TO LIVE ANOINTED" was exactly the cry of my heart, and this chorus ministered to me alot!

Gotta' Break Down Them Walls 78

  

There are people everywhere, who don't realize

That they are being bound, by all of Satan's lies

They see defeat, and they feel the pain

But they don't know of the power, through Jesus name

So we have been commissioned, by the Lords command

To spread the gospel, to a dying land

We must tell the people, stand upon Gods word

And with the gospel they've heard, break down them walls

 

Gotta' break down them walls

gotta' set the spirit free

Gotta' tell the world about

what Jesus did for me

Gotta' stand and proclaim

from sea to shining sea

So the whole world will be

break-in' down them walls

 

Now in the Bible, we are often told

We are in a battle, and we need to be bold

For carnal warfare, and dead weight of sin

Will only lead, to defeat again

But in the battle plans, we find this strategy

To claim the word, and stand in victory

And when your standing there, so pure and clean

Then old Satan will flee, you broke down his walls

Bought With A Price To Glorify Christ 79

  

Well I once was so burdened

my life stained with sin

My heart had no hope

nor my soul peace within

Then I heard Jesus love

could set my soul free

And praise God he saved me

the very moment I believed

 

I've been washed in his love

redeemed by his blood

I've been saved

from an evil way of life

I've been changed, I've been remade

a new man am I

I've been bought with a price

to glorify Christ

 

Now my heart is so happy

I sing as I go

And this song that I sing

makes the love in my heart show

For I'm singing a new song

that I learned just today

And the song that I sing

is he took my sins away

I'll Keep Holding On To Jesus 80

  

There's a hand that's always leading me

through the eyes of faith I see

His hand out-stretched and reaching low

as through the valley I must go

And though the sky is dark, rain is falling down

in the peace he gives, my heart has found

As I'm holding on to Jesus

he lifts me up to higher ground

 

I'll keep holding on to Jesus

holding on to Jesus

The storms of life

will never cover me

And as I'm holding on to Jesus

he's making every part of me

A little more like his love

and a little less like me

 

In the book of Revelation

we find blessed consolation

If we hold on to his hand

he'll be with us to the end

If we'll do what thus says the Lord

we will earn a great reward

So I'm holding on to Jesus

holding to his nail-scarred hand

He Called My Name 81

 

Many years ago, upon a cruel cross

a man so innocent and clean

Gave his life a willing sacrifice

to set free all who believe

When he said, "It Is Finished"

and the blood and water flowed

He was saying child your mine now

for my blood redeems your soul

 

He called my name

when he was on the cross

the day he bore my pain

He called my name

gave me liberty

and now my soul is changed

He washed me clean

and gave me victory

over sin and all it's shame

He gave me all I need

for all eternity

the day he called my name

 

I was lost and wondering in the night

to where I did not know

I never knew what having peace was

till Jesus love to my heart flowed

But when his love light started shining down

upon my life of pain

From sin he set me free, the same I'll never be

since that day he called my name

Since I was born that way

What Jesus Would Say 83

 

Setting here with my old guitar,

strumming these six strings

makes me want to go home again

But there's no home for a lonely,

lonely stranger without purpose

just looking for a friend to be a friend

Because home's only home,

when there is love for the sharing

there's no love for a lonely traveling man

I can't go home to be alone,

with four walls around me

so I sit and sing my lonely song again, but wait...

 

I wonder (I know) what Jesus would say

if he could see me (them)

He would say cheer up my child

your not alone

Lift up your head

and see the glory that's around you

And your heart will find a peace

you've never known

 

Well the man down on the corner,

peddling newspapers

says there's hurting, broken lives across the land

Homes that's broken,

hearts that's crying

lives that even time cannot mend

But there's a man that I heard about,

years ago in Sunday School

who gives new life to weary hearts again

And he gave his life a sacrifice,

on a rugged dogwood tree

and he bids all who will to come and let him in

I Will Wait For Him While Walking By His Side 84

  

I don't know just where I'm going

between now and that bright day

I don't know what clouds may darken

the light from my paths way

But I know some day I'm going

to the sky I'm gonna' sail

So for now until I get there

I shall trust and do his will

 

And I will wait

until the sun falls from the sky

Until all the mountains crumble

and rivers all run dry

I will look for him daily

to split the eastern sky

I will wait for him

while walking by his side

 

Many trials and disappointments

may come my way I know

But still I'll live for him daily

and praise his name as on I go

For I know some day he's coming

on the clouds all dressed in white

With his holy band of angels

for me to take that Heaven bound flight

I Had It But I Lost It 85

 

I remember years ago, when I was lost

I never had peace within

Satan always told me lies, and I'd believe them everyone

time and again

He would say go on and try it,

you don't like it, you don't buy it

there's no use to fight,

it ain't really no big sin

I spent my life a fallin',

till I found out Jesus love could make me win

So I went down to the altar

and I said Lord I need some help

My life is one big shamble

and I just cannot handle it myself

And he told me turn it over

so I laid it on the altar

and the weight upon my shoulder

went away with all my sin

Now I'm singing so much louder

but the song that I'm singing has no end

Well I had it but I lost it

praise God I didn't want it anyway

All the sin that had me down

only made me wear a frown every day

Satan told me have some fun

and I even tried to run

but Jesus love was so much stronger

now it's in my heart to stay

Well I had it but I lost it

praise God I didn't want it anyway

Are You Ready 87

 

Are you ready, for the Lord to come

does your heart, sing a victory song

In your spirit, are you heading home

when Jesus comes to get his children,

will your whereabouts be known

Can you see, the signs on every hand

war and strife, famine in the land

Have you listened, and obeyed God's command,

are you ready for the Lord to come

 

Now a man, his name was Jesus Christ

was on a cross, for your sins crucified

And through the blood, he shed when he died

he's made a way of preparation,

for lost sheep to come home

And although, it's been 2,000 years

it is true, the time of Christ is near

And soon the saints, will rise up through the air

are you ready for the Lord to come

 

Now the Devil, is like a roaring lion

full of evil, with temptation in mind

And his nature, is to make people blind

so they cannot see the wonders,

that King Jesus has done

But if we all, proclaim the written word

and we walk, in light of what we've heard

Then Jesus spirit, will work a miracle

and get us ready, for the Lord to come

I Know That Jesus Loves Me 89

 

When I need a hand to hold

I know that he is with me

I need a shelter from the cold

I know that he is there

Although my friends may turn away

he still will be here for me

Even through my darkest day

I know that Jesus loves me

Bridge

I know he will stay with me

 

He has promised he would never leave

When I get low I know he'll carry me

And give me grace to face another day

 

While looking back where I came from

I know that he was with me

For I can see the valleys low

I know, that he has brought me through

So when you've got a big big problem

don't let your heart quit singing

Just look to him and you will know

he will do the same for you, (he'll bring you through)

Step-in' In The Steps Of Jesus 90

  

Well there are many trials

and temptations in this life

And when you start to walk by faith

old Satan's gonna' fight

But friend listen to the father

and as you seek the Lord

You will find great power

in standing on his word

 

Step-in in the steps of Jesus

walking down life's highway

I'm living for him daily

saying what he'd have me to say

Showing love unto my brother

lending a hand and helping him pray

I'm step-in' in the steps of Jesus

learning to walk by faith

Well faith is not believing

but believe, oh yes you must

Faith you have by giving

unto God all of your trust

In every situation

never worry never fret

Give it over to the father

and friend you ain't seen nothing yet

Look To Jesus 91

 

You've been betrayed, by your closest friend

your hurt, and don't know where to turn

Every road you take is a dead end

you'd think someday you'd learn

Your friends all warned you, that you'd get burned

and deep inside you knew

But you refused to believe or hear their plea

now theirs only one thing left to do

 

Look to Jesus

he's always there for you

He can mend your broken heart

like no one else can do

Don't give up, though the burdens heavy

and your heart is in despair

Lay it down upon the altar

he'll meet your need, just kneel in prayer

 

The broken heart that I once had

was mended at the cross

He took away my fear and guilt

kept my soul from being lost

My friend if you don't have the answer

for what your going through

Take it from this friend, that has a friend

who knows exactly what to do

Only Jesus 93

  

Now when a man is full of sin

with pain and hurt inside

He can search the whole world over

and find no place to hide

But when he walks down to an altar

and Jesus meets him there

He will find the peace he's seeking

and so much more there knelt in prayer

  

Only Jesus, Only Jesus

only he can mend your broken shattered life

Only Jesus, Only Jesus

only he can set you free, and give you peace inside

 

To many hearts, to many times

have seen to many fakes

Lying and deceiving

it is such a disgrace

But if we'll lay aside our worldly minds

and show men Jesus cares

Then they will know, for his love will show

there is power in our prayer (&)

I Know A Man Who Can 94

  

You say you know someone, who says they know someone

who knows someone, who gets things done

But you'll get lost in the tale that's run

then find out they were wrong

But I know a man, and that same man knows me

and only by his name can we

Find the peace that this world needs

so we must start to sing

 

I know a man who had a plan for me

to set my feeble spirit free

And he will save all who'll believe

if only they can see

That he's the man who has a plan for them

and he will cleanse from all their sin

And make them pure and whole again

I know a man who can

 

Now you may talk, and talk, and talk for hours

about some man who has some power

But in his heart he's just a coward

if he doesn't know the King

For when some trials, and temptations come

and he can't seem to get things done

Then you will see that you were wrong

to judge men by what they seem

I've Got More 97

 

Now some folks, don't understand

why I love Jesus

And they just can't see the peace

I feel in his love

Though they see I'm not the same

since I've learned to speak his name

They refuse his love to claim

and throw away what he's done

But I've got more

than this world, will ever know

I've got more

than this smile, will ever show

I've got peace down deep inside

and my mind is satisfied

Since I've found this place to hide

in Christ my Lord

 

Now sometimes the road down here

gets oh so rough

And at times, it would be easy

to give up

But then I STOP, and think again

just where I am and where I could have been

Since my soul is free from sin

through Jesus love

My brother Damon and I had gone on a trip to central Missouri. I had to preach a revival, and he went along. It was a very special time, because we had never had very much time to spend together. We went to a rather poor church, and they didn’t do much of anything for us. We slept in my van on the seats in the back (it was very cold). We ate cold canned food, and washed up in the rest room of the church. But at night I would get out my guitar and we would sing, one night as I was singing, out came "I’ve Got More".

for all to find

 

And you say come to me

I'll meet your every need

And when your low and in despair

I'll still be there

And I'll reach down my loving hand

and pull you out, of your sinking sand

My child, just call on me

and I'll be there

 

Now when we try

God's will to find

And try to do, what he'd have us do

to win the fight

Then he will help

for our hurt is felt

And when Satan rages, against the rock of ages

he has no might

The Window Must Be Open 99

 

We find amid the conflicts

there is always one more trial

And sometimes we must walk by faith

for many many miles

But when your heart is open

and the spirit fills your soul

You'll be so glad that he came in

when you opened up your window

The window must be open

for the wind to come in

The breeze can't blow through a closed door

and cool the house within

The spirit wants to thrill you

make you feel brand new again

But the window must be open

for the wind to come in

When the tension and the strains

of this old life begin to rise

And you feel within your heart

you want to run away and hide

Just get your eyes on Jesus

and keep looking straight ahead

Then your window will be open

and his spirit can come in

So many times in this old life

we have oh so many cares

And every step we take

brings another load to bear

But when your looking at the mover

then the mountains not so big

So just raise the window of your mind

and get your eyes on him

Worms In The Manna 100

 

Now as Gods children long ago

we're given blessings manifold

Manna sent down from above

striate from Jesus full of love

But when we waste the blessings sent

and all our time on self is spent

We must then kneel and repent

we're getting worms in the manna

 

We're getting worms in the manna

to much breads a being wasted

To many people are not giving

of the oil they have tasted

While we say we love the lord

we fail to share his precious word

Though that is what the word is for

we're getting worms in the manna

 

Well hypocritical is in

men want to play around with sin

Say just a little now and then

why can't we see the mess we're getting in

We claim the power of the word

and then ignore the word we've heard

We write it off as to absurd

we're getting worms in the manna

 

So many people out in sin

don't know God has a plan for them

And all the pain they have within

they hide from family and friend

While we enjoy the things God's done

we've set our minds on having fun

And these men die without God's Son

we've got worms in the manna

Living Under The Shadow 101

 

The road behinds been rouged

and my way has been so long

With mountains in the way

his word has gently led me on

And I've been strong, with him along

And as I sit here dreaming

of some better day ahead

The blessing that he gives to me

may be a trial instead

but this I know

his love will go

 

I'm living under the shadow

of a mighty God

I'm resting in the fullness

of his peace that I've got

His love has given more

for the battle is won

I'm living under the shadow

of the almighty God

 

Today I stand here looking back

and wonder what lies ahead

will tomorrow bring me sunshine

or will there be more tears to shed

Lord I don't know, so to you I'm gonna go

When I'm alone on some dark highway

a thousand miles from home

I look up and I see that moon you made above me

and I know I'm really not alone

I know you are along

My heart just seems to cry

and weep big tears from down inside

In my eyes you see the pain

Lord I feel so ashamed

As I bow on my face again

and to you I humbly cry

 

Lord please touch me

let me feel the peace I had before

My soul is so hungry

I need you more and more

Lord please fill me

fill my heart, my soul, and mind

Though the weakest of men I seem to be

oh Lord, make me thine

 

At times this flesh is so weak

and as I climb the mountains get so steep

Temptation starts to rise

That's when I fall down upon my knees

I came home late from running all night, lay down in my bed and looked up. Above my bed hung a lighted picture of Jesus. I always looked at it when I was going to sleep, but as I stared at the picture, I saw what looked like tears running down Jesus’ cheek. Convicted, I knelt down on my knees and repented, right then. When I finished, I wrote my prayer down, and "Lord Please Touch Me" was born, of a prayer.

All I Need To Know 103

  

I don't know the reason, why he loved me so

I don't know why he suffered and died

I don't know why he left his home above

just to give one like me real peace inside

But I know for I feel, and I know it's real

I now stand and rejoice in the hope which I feel

And although I don't know why to a cross he did go

I know, that I have his love inside

  

He loved me when nobody cared for me

He loved me when I was alone

He loved me in spite of the things I had done

he said child, won't you please, come on home

Then he reached down his hand, and he whispered low

He said child, let my love make you whole

And I don't know why, no reason I find

but he loves me, and that's all I need to know

  

I don't ask questions, or say Lord why

for now I don't need to really know

I only have to trust him, when he whispers low

and say Lord, let your love, touch my soul

Lord, let your love, oar my heart start to flow

let the peace, only you, can give, take hold

And lord, let me live, neath the shadow of your wing

Satisfaction Guaranteed 105

 

Well say you go down to the mall

for some appliance big or small

What's the first thing you must do

see the guarantee they give to you

Don't you think it would be the same

when you call on Jesus name

Just believe and you'll receive

satisfaction guaranteed

 

God gives joy instead of pain

he gives peace instead of shame

Every time his name you call

he'll lift you up where you can't fall

And where those clouds have been all day

the Son will shine there in their place

Yes he will meet your every need

with satisfaction guaranteed

 

As God's children we're so blessed

with love and joy and happiness

So many blessings we receive

because on Jesus we believe

Just look around at what God's done

all the victories we have won

I am sure that you can see

there is satisfaction guaranteed

 

(Tag)Where there is darkness, he'll make light

where there is a mess he'll make it right

To him it's all about the same

nothings to hard for him to change

For when your weak, he'll make you strong

he'll but you back where you belong

I'm sure he'll do just what you need

I Can't Stand To See You Fall 106

 

In this world there are a lot of painted pictures

so beautiful to see with naked eye

But the picture Satan's painting for you brother

only shows distorted fallacies and lies

But if you understand he is trying to destroy you

and you spend time in God's word to make you strong

Then Satan has no power he's defenseless

for the word has given grace to overcome

 

Brother please don't listen

to what Satan says to you

He may be mighty subtle

but his words are never true

Just hold on tight to Jesus hand

as on his name you call

For Brother, I can't stand

to see you fall

 

As you walk this road of many trials

remember always looking straight ahead

The enemy your fighting in this battle

will do anything he can to see you dead

There is just one way to overcome temptation

stand upon the blood and testify

And although he is lying and deceiving

the word reveals the truth of Satan's lies

He Is My Friend 107

   

The very joy that is within me

The song that is my praise

The rock on which I'm standing

The one who lights my ways

He is the sweetest Rose of Sharon

Beginning and the end

But much more than all of these,

He is my friend

I'll Never Be Worthy 108

  

Jesus walked upon this earth

was rejected of men

His life and all the work he did

to free mans soul from sin

And I may never know

why to an old rugged cross he would go

I will never be worthy of one drop of blood

Jesus shed for me

  

I'll never be worthy

but I'll ever be free

With the precious blood that Jesus shed

I'll shout victory

I'll never be worthy

I'll not be worth the pain

But he has shown his love for me

so to him I will cling

 

Now I walk on this earth

and I live for him

Although the waves may beat with force

I'm sheltered safely within

I will walk each day for Jesus

I will give him all my life

For he first showed his love for me

when on that cruel cross he died

My Brother Needs A Shoulder 109

  

Like a tree in the wind

Lord let me learn to bend

So I might learn to understand

my brothers weakness

With the love you've given me

let me show him faithfully

So his heart can clearly see

your peace you freely give

 

Oh Lord don't let my heart become to hardened

Where I cannot see my brother in despair

Keep my soul from evil, keep my spirit humble

When my brother needs a shoulder, put mine there

  

Now the written word declares

each others burdens we should bear

For this body that we share

has many members

While one is big and one is small

the Lord has made us one and all

And lovingly each one did call

his love to minister

He Is The Only Man, Worth Living For 110

  

Many men, ask why I'm living

why I sacrifice my time

They wonder why I'm giving

all I have to Jesus Christ

They just don't understand, They never felt his hand

like I did when he saved my soul

So I just tell them

He is the only man, worth living for

  

He is the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords

creator of all things

He is the sacrificed provision

for redemption of all man

He is my best friend, my real companion

my God and so much more

So why I live for him

He is the only man, worth living for

  

Now sometimes, I get discouraged

when things don't go my way

And I wonder why the dark clouds

seem to hide all the light of day

And then I see him, out reaching his hand

and I'm reminded once more

Just why I live for him

He is the only man, worth living for

The Presence of the Lord 111

 

I feel the presence

of the Lord

His spirit now with us

comes flowing down to us

such mercy and love he affords

I feel the brush

and the presence of angels

The peace he has given

now makes life worth living

each day I'm loving him more

 

Jesus, Jesus

That name means more to me, than diamonds and gold

I whisper that name

all heaven proclaims his glory

I love him, I want him

I need him, he's with me

Such mercy and love he has shown

 

The love he has given me now

has made my mind free

The mercy he's showing

to others now flowing

to them like it first flowed to me

He's with me each hour, he's giving me power

to conquer the powers of sin

His grace and his mercy

though I so unworthy

keeps flowing again and again

He Gave Me His Heart 112

  

I don't know why

why he would die

Why he would live

to be crucified

But I know he loves

and I know he lives

I know he has

and I know he gives

 

He took all the pieces

all the broken into

He took all the hard times

and made them brand new

He took all the broken dreams

and made my new start

And I know he loves me

for he gave me his heart

 

Now some men deny

ever he died

Went to the cross

and gave us his life

But inside they know

for with their eyes they behold

The change he has made in me

oh such mercy he's shown

The Pages of God's Word 113

  

My eyes have never seen

the place prepared for me

Such beauty no mortal could contain

But though my eyes may not behold

I can know for I am told

I can read it in the pages of God's word

 

In the pages of God's word

I find a sweet release

In those pages I can find

a glorious peace

And when my race on earth is run

and I see my mansion home

I'll know I've made it

through the pages of God's word

 

Now men down here build mansions fare

of precious jewels oh so rare

Oh the beauty of their homes glitter as gold

But when I see him on that day

all earth’s memories will fade away

And I'll thank God I've made it through the pages of his word

It Covers Me 114

 

I have all my life forsaken

the ways that lead me wrong

Though many times mistaken

and led so far from home

I love him with a love so free

and I know he loves me

For the blood that Jesus shed

now covers me

 

His love he gave

on the cross he hanged

In the grave he laid

on the third day was raised

But still one gift means more to me

this precious blood that stained the tree

Oh his blood he gave so free

now covers me

 

I can see him on Galgotha

hanged between two thieves

His blood flowing down

in the thirsty ground to seep

His life he gave to set men free

such love to be received

And you can have this grace

through his blood that covers me

 

(Tag) It covers me

It covers me

The precious blood that Jesus shed

now covers me

I love the gift of life he gave

I love the ones he came to save

But I remain amazed at his blood

that covers me

Jesus, My Everything 115

 

He knows every tear, that I cry

he sees every fear, I have inside

He feels my need, and he whispers peace

and for me he makes a hiding place

He loves me with a love so true

he does what no other power can do

Though he knows me, he still loves me

and he wants to be to me

my everything, all that I need

 

Jesus,

my everything

Jesus, your more to me

than words can explain

Oh just take me, Lord and make me

what you want me to be

In your will I can make it

let my desires be set free

 

With you Lord, I'm never alone

you hold me in your hand, and make me strong

You walk with me, oh so close by my side

you guide every step, to make it right

And although I may fall, many times to the ground

you pick me up, and mend my wounds with love profound

And though some may think I'm crazy

I can see what you've made in me

is much more than I've ever been before

Cutting Edge Theme Song 116

 

It's The cutting edge

it's the word of God

It's the gospel of peace

with which my feet are shod

I will carry the sword

of the spirit strong

And with it break down all of the evil walls

 

We're gonna march to victory

with Jesus Christ

Never fear death

for He's given us life

With the shield of faith

and our helmet too

There's nothing that our Lords army can't do

 

Written By: Daniel A. Brown III

Late Summer 1988

Cutting Edge was the name of my youth group, when I was the youth pastor at Grace Assembly of God in Florissant MO. I wrote this chorus so we could have our own theme song.

Jesus Is What Christmas Means To Me 117

 

Lights around the window

presents neath the tree

Snow outside is falling

It's Christmas, in the city

I see my friends smile

and pass me merrily

Christmas, oh Christmas

such a blessed time to be

 

Christmas, oh Christmas

what a lovely time it is

Christmas, oh Christmas

I love the joy it gives

We celebrate so many ways

for all the world to see

But Jesus is what Christmas

means to me

 

Shepherds on a hillside

a visit by and angel band

Glory in the highest

God's own son has come to man

From the morning in the manger

to the cross upon the hill

Till he was raised up on the third day

salvation’s plan to fulfill

(Tag.) All the celebration, gifts, and holly

don't mean a thing you see

For Jesus is what Christmas

means to me

Written By: Daniel A. Brown III

September 16, 1988

While working at Grace A/G I wrote a Christmas Play. I Started looking for a Christmas song that told the birth death and resurrection of Jesus, not just the baby in the manger, but there were none. So I wrote one.

Forever Yours 118

 

So many times in the Bible we find

"I'll never leave you"

So many times he has told us

"I'll be there"

When I find all this written

in those pages

I realize what he is saying

is "I'm forever yours"

 

Forever yours

forever yours

He said he'd always be

what we need, and then

He's forever yours

forever yours

He's said he'll never leave

and he'd be, forever yours

 

Now there are times I feel alone

oh, but I know

It's in that time that seems so lonesome

that I can grow

He never leaves, nor is he far away

it just might be, I need to kneel and pray

and then he shows himself to me

and I can hear him gently say

Written By: Daniel A. Brown III

February 1989

I remember clearly the day I wrote "Forever Yours", I was setting at the Chickering 9 foot grand piano on the platform of Grace A\G, and was asking God if anyone was faithful and kept their word or promises any more. Then I realized if I’m the bride, and he the groom the Bible is a love letter, and his was the one promise I could believe.

There'll be Peace 119

 

Lord I don't know what tomorrow holds

but you do

I don't know if my tears will flow

but you do

There may be starry skies

and there may be some rain filled nights

But Lord I know with you by my side

you'll meet my every need

 

And there'll be peace

in the time of storm

Peace

I'm safe from harm

Peace

when Jesus is with me

with me

There'll be peace

although dark the night

Peace

though wounded in the fight

Peace

I know the guiding light

yes, Jesus is with me

 

Men may let me down again

but you know

I may lose my dearest friend

but you know

And it won't take you by surprise

for your already there, and you've won the fight

So Jesus Guide me buy your light

and let me never leave

He's Leading Me Homeward 120

  

Well I am so feeble

and my way is so long

I may struggle with evil

as I journey along

And I may not know

just where I'll be tomorrow

But as long as I follow

he'll lead me home

 

He's leading me homeward

and I'm looking forward

To that heavenly mansion

that I'll have over there

And with all the others

all our loved ones gone over

These trials will be no more

when he leads me up there

 

Now you may have trouble

and heartaches by the double

And in place of the victory

you've been feeling down

But friend just remember

when your faced with the tempter

If we'll share in the struggle

one day he'll share the crown

I Am Climbing Up The Mountain 121

 

I'd been going through the valley

the dark and lonesome valley

I'd been caught in

Looking for some miracle

to take me heaven bound

And as I looked on up that narrow way

the mountains rocky rough terrain

I said please Lord

But he just left the mountain there

took my hand, and said my child come along

 

So I'll keep moving up the mountain

Gods holy mountain

I am climbing

I'm tired of the lonely life

down on the valley floor

And as I move on up the mountain

no he just won't move this mountain

so I'll keep climbing

Climbing up this mountain side

to heavens table land

 

Now friend if you see a mountain

go ahead, pray God move this mountain

but then keep climbing

For our God specializes

in mountain moving ways

But in this old life's journey

the way can get so rocky

where he leads you

But don't look down keep holding on

to his nail-scarred hand and he will lead you home

He's The Light 122

 

Satan lies about tomorrow

Satan lies about today

He'll disguise his pain and sorrow

just to bring them all our way

But if your heart has but one longing

that Heaven is your goal

Then he can't even touch you

for our God is watching on

 

He's the light in your darkness

he's the bright and morning star

His love is shining down from glory

oh no matter where you are

In his majesty and splendor

he'll outshine all of Satan's fears

So don't worry o're deaths shadow

for that just proves God's light is near

 

Now there are times when your on the mountain

yes and all the skies are blue

Then all at once you fail and doubt him

as sins dark cloud hangs over you

But don't you worry o're the future

or what tomorrow holds

For that same God that calms the water

is that same God that guards your soul

Dean Heady, my pastor at the time, preached a message on the 23rd Psalm. Knowing Pastor Heady, who could quote whole books of the Bible from memory, I expected him to preach some hidden thing I had never heard of again. But as he started preaching, he showed us things we had never seen in the 23rd Psalm. He got down to "Though I walk through the shadow of death, I will fear no evil", and he said, "The only thing the shadow of death proves is that the light is still shining, for you can’t have a shadow without a light. Well that struck home, and "He’s The Light" shortly followed.

Win Again 123

 

Now the road turns

as my mind goes down

It seems so easy

as my heart is spinning round

But when it sinks down to the bottom

and my little world is falling

falling down all around

I know all I am needing

is a friend who can help me win again

 

Then it's back with tomorrow

and all of the sorrows come around

And I wonder where the faith goes

when the trials come and knock me to the ground

Where is that determination

and the hope of my salvation

that in my meditations makes me win

Then I know all I am needing

is my one friend who can help me win again

 

So I just call on the master

for he is the maker of the wind

And I know when I call him

although I may have fallen

he picks me up back on my feet again

And I know if I'm humble

although I often stumble

he'll make me what I know I should have been

Just as long as he's leading

he can make me win again

I'm Gonna Wake Up Shouting 124

 

For so many years now we've walked through life

and talked of heaven fair

Looking forward to that day we'll live

and reign with him up there

But one day this worlds gonna pass me by

I won't have to worry, no more I'll cry

I'm just waiting till I hear the cry

for that meeting in the air.

 

I'm gonna wake up shouting

when I get to the other side.

I'm gonna wake up shouting

with Jesus I'll reside.

I'm gonna sit down beside that river of life

no more sorrow pain or strife

I'm gonna praise the Lord till the day I die

and then I'm gonna wake up shouting.

 

Now through this life we're gonna have some trouble

everyone must bear their cross

But one of these days I'm gonna cross old Jordan

and all that will be lost

When I sit down beside Jesus

I shake the hand of that nail-scarred man

I'm gonna praise the Lord for his amazing mercy

for without it I would have been lost.

 

Well I may go in the rapture

I know it will be soon.

But it really makes me no difference

as long as my hearts in tune

I may be working out in a cornfield

I may be grinding at the mill

I may be sound asleep in my bed

but I know what I'm gonna do.

I KNOW IT'S REAL 125

 

When I feel like life has let me down

and there is not one friend that can be found

Tho' my life seems unfair

every time I call He's there

And I know, I know, it's real

 

I know, yes I know, it's real

I know, yes I know, for I can feel it

When I walk through the pain

the cold the wind and the rain

I know, yes I know, it's real

 

Every time I get down, He picks me up

and He makes, me drink from his precious cup

When all my hope is gone

He gives me strength to carry on

And I know, yes I know, He's real.
