Oh Daddy

Oh daddy tell me again What You said He did As she jumped up and down Her joy was not hid I want to hear the story again Her voice blended with glee Tell me; tell me of His Love And how He died for me The sweetest story I’ve ever heard I can’t wait until when I have the chance to share it all With my closest friend Oh daddy, daddy sing that song About the Old Rugged Tree How He shed His Precious Blood On the hill called Calvary I want to go where grandpa lives When my life I’ve lived all I’ll wait patiently down here Until I hear that final call

Oh Gentle Hands

Oh Gentle Hands rest softly on This heart for you desire To feel Your Blessed Holy Touch From You Your Strength Acquire Play now upon these pleading strings A song that is Your Choice And bring it forth upon my lips While in praise I lift my voice Honor yes for you alone For in this I only see Your Love and Grace yet greater far Than all of life to me Bring once again that Golden Touch That makes a heart to shine Though battered by the waves of life Still yet Your Touch is mine Oh Gentle Hands rest softly on This heart for you desire And each day as I rise Bless this heart entire

Oh That I Could Touch

Oh that I might touch The Hand of God that I might be led The Mind of god that I might know wisdom The Heart of God that I might know Love The eyes of God that I might clearly see The Mouth of god that I might speak of His Mighty Works The Feet of God that I might walk in His Ways The Ears of God that I might hear His Voice The Arms of God that I might hold others The Back of God that I might carry His Cross The Blood of God that I might know forgiveness The Son of God that I might be like Him The Spirit of God that I might live eternally

On His Light

Oh that this river would flow Into my heart so I would know That He is wherever I go From up there to down below I’ll say it over and over again Until I’ve found it and then It takes away all my sin My name written down by Love’s Pen Yes His Word to obey Both by night and day He gives me to say And guide me on my way So once when life here shall end And God to earth shall send His Son our only true friend On His Light forever depend

On Your Promise

O winded heart blown hard upon By life’s relentless waves Tossed to and fro and all about Yet looks for one who saves Sadness sends a message to These eyes that they should cry And washing down upon this heart To bring forth painful sigh Lift the heart to look upon What sorrow brought today And search again for help to come With words someone should say Is this a time of by myself What I feel inside Or comfort come when needed now For this I’ve truly tried For what friend in love to say Could make me understand I truly see will pass away As on Your Promise I stand

Once For All

Ah but was told to me before I can remember again A song or a poem read to me Taken to where I had been Can I find that feeling same That I had felt back then Was good, was good this I know I can hardly wait till when Mattered not if rain or snow For all was found to be In peace and love by unite Easy then to see Never taken lightly by A choice of life for free He gave once for all On Calvary’s Rugged Tree

Once to Have Known
	If were a fleeting moment Or yet unending flow To touch or feel enjoyment A wondrous thing to know A day spent ever softly Upon a pillowed stream To lift up so loftily Into a hallowed dream Sometime seem all sufficient To fill a life complete In nothing yet deficient For loves test to meet This I’m sure has found What love in me has grown My heart is truly bound Once to have known

One

	The voice was soft and understood No mistaking was meant was said Troubling words heard before The voice brought hope instead   Speak softly now O Lord I pray For on whom shall I call Today I stand in need of you To be my all in all   These things I can’t do myself Though try and try again This body now that traps my soul Has burdened it with sin   Voice of God bring right words Ones my heart can hear Let Your Spirit flow inside As my soul draws near   My soul will proudly sing again Of things Your Word has done That works by Grace in my heart Until You and I are one
One Little Lamb
	Who can find me in this place No one can see where I am Out of all the world of people I am but one little lamb Who would care should I die Those I love have gone their way Should I find fault with them My life is my chosen day Life is as a ravening wolf Tearing at what’s left of my soul Shall I find peace when death has taken me Of this I have no control I gather my thoughts to cry But seems as a drop in a river Lost among all the scatter of time No hope for one to deliver Then a voice from one told to me By the man of God before Could this be hope returned Shall I in this expect more No need now I find to despair For Christ came where I am To lift and heal the life Of this one little lamb

One of These Days 1

One of these days I heard him say I’ll surely make it home By faith in due I know about When on these streets I roam One of these days it will all be o’er I’ll know as I am known When He comes to resurrect This body that’s been sown One of these days I’ll see His face The one who died for me Who His blood for one and all Upon Mt. Calvary’s tree One of these days He’ll say well done My good and faithful child Welcome to your place of rest In a city where all is mild One of these days I’ll praise Him still For all His wondrous ways Forever and ever praise His name One of these days, yes one of these days.

One of These Days 2

One of these days I heard him say I remember it oh so well He said I’ll get my life straight So everyone can tell Tomorrow seems a better day To start my place in life I’ll rise from sleep to start a day That will end my pain and strife I just have so much to do This day I must complete And then I’ll relax at home To rest my weary feet And when the sun shall wake my sleep I’ll start my life anew It’s just today I have no time For the things I have to do As I look upon his face Lying now so still He never took time to face the Lord But one of these days he will

One of These Days 3

One of these days I’ll fix that door That’s squeaked for so long And fix that broken pane of glass When a baseball throw went wrong And if I can get the time To plunge the toilet out And buy a knob for the bathroom door My wife will surely shout And then I’ll fix that pipe that leaks And the rotted wood beneath And finish painting the bedroom wall A sigh of relief I’ll breathe And yet another thing I’ll do Is change each burned out light So we won’t kick loose the table legs When our way we can’t see at night Alas and then I’ll go to the car To fix that broken part And I’ll get it all done when One of these days I start

Our Song

I heard it once again today It brought me to dreaming again Of a time when it belong to two For two people alone it was written How could these words come from someone else? When it spoke the truth of our day And so much younger we were then This song of love sent our way Truly was not for other ears But for us and us alone To be shared only two between Those things these words had shown A whispered sigh oh blessed thought Of all that we had then And now to be revived unannounced In our song I hear once again A smile of warmth in fading words In a time where nothing was wrong When all the things I felt for you Was written of love in our song
