By The Oceans Side

At night I like to sit by the oceans side
Thinking about life and watching the tide.
I relate the rhythm of its rolling waves
to the timing of troubles and how I behave
There is a lot to learn by watching the sea
Watch it enough and you'll find the key.
That life is a rhythm much like the ocean
That good times and bad must stay in motion
For if they were to ever become still
The foundation beneath, it would surely kill.
Reminders like this, God gave us to see
That the tides of life must ever be.
Sometimes it's rough and you think you'll drown
But wait it out 'cause it will calm down.
I'm thankful for the time I have by the sea
And reminders like these that are given to me
As I sit at night by the oceans side
Thinking about life and watching the tide.

Called By The Stars

That night in the midst of a new moon high,
My friend became a part of the sky.
Giving birth to life but herself to die,
Called by the stars of Gemini.

Now destroyed is he that loved her most
And falls his spirit, call'n her ghost.
But she'll tell him she loves him in times of despair,
By the eyes of the child she left in his care.

How sad this is - it's too great to say.
So lost was he by the dawn of day;
His anger is great and his heart is broken,
He thinks of things he should have spoken.

Before she became a part of the sky
That night in the midst of a new moon high.

Giving rise to life in the utmost way,
Giving up her life for her child that day.
Flying high above, now a part of the sky
She was called by the stars of Gemini

Why did it happen, please tell me why
Did she hold the baby, did she see her eyes?
I never saw my friend even once that day
I wish I could tell her everything is okay.

Now she's flying above, now a part of the sky
She was called by the stars of Gemini.
Giving rise to life in the utmost way.
Giving up her life for her child that day.

Flying high above now a part of the sky
She was called by the stars of Gemini.

This Is My Prayer

This Is My Prayer

Dear Lord,
For every step that this child takes
Please send your angel, for her sake.
To keep her safe and from all harm
To sure her feet and in your arms.
This is my prayer, dear Lord please hear
To keep an angel for her near.
And if you call me home tonight,
Please give me wings of grace and might.

So I may be the one you send
To guard this child until the end.

Amen
