"My Song"

When the music has stopped
And nothing is heard but silence
My heart praises You, Lord Jesus
Is my voice reaching heaven
Through the Holy Spirit's being
And the heart of this baby soul?
My life is consumed with a melody
That will never leave my mind
And never utter farewell to my heart.
It allows me to show You
And permits me to tell You
Exactly how much my heart loves You.
It will never be enough feeling
So I strive for an outpouring
That exceeds a human heart's capacity.
Lord, bless me with desire and passion
And the strength to keep on singing
For Your heart is the only giver of such gifts.
What a gift it is to praise You
And a privilege to love You
And an honor to have known Your heart.

And Your Praise Goes On

The moon is high and the sunset fades
The lullabies have all been sung
We’re tuckin’ in another day
And stars appear now one by one

But the stillness moves and the silence yields
And not a single beat is lost
You can hear the chorus in the fields
Taking up where we left off

And Your praise goes on
Rising to Your throne
Where You guard us while we dream
Past the stars they fly
Your praises fill the sky
‘Til You wake us with the dawn
And Your praise goes on

Now bring your warmth, O morning sun
Chase the stars and the moon away
And wake us with your brightest song
And add our voice to your refrain

Now rise up everything that lives!
Flap your wings and leap for joy!
Oh forest lift your arms and sway!
Clap your hands you ocean waves!

And Your praise goes on, rising to Your throne
Where You bless our toil and play
Through the clouds they rise,
Your praises fill the skies
‘Til the setting of the sun
And Your praise goes on

And when my final breath You lend
I’ll thank You for the life You gave
But that won’t mean the praises end
‘Cause I won’t be silenced by the grave!

And Your praise goes on
I’ll be runnin’ to Your throne
With every nation, tribe and tongue
To Your arms I’ll fly
I’ll gaze into Your eyes
Then I’ll know as I am known
And Your praise goes on
And Your praise goes on
And Your praise goes on

When It's Time To Go

Isaac, I couldn't write or express anything until now...I love you, and I miss you, but I will see you very soon.

"When It's Time To Go" -- by 4HIM

Nothing new in this old town
The sun comes up and heads back down
Working hard from dawn to dusk again

Seventeen and a heart for change
The byways calling out his name
But not yet, there's too much left to do

'Cause daddy needs a hand
And mama's tender heart might crumble to the ground
Though they'd understand, he felt like singing

CHORUS:
When it's time to go
You've got to let me go away and face the world
Say goodbye, cry some tears, but don't worry
When I hit the city
I'll build you a house
Right down the street from mine

Have some faith in me and I'll show you why

Some years later late one night
He came in trying to dry his eyes
He realized what he was born to do

He said I'll always be your son
And I know you know what's going on
It's the hardest thing to think of leaving you

But this world needs a hand
And I've got just the thing they need to make it through
It's so clear to me, though I know what's coming

CHORUS:
When it's time to go
You've got to let me go away and face the world
Say goodbye, cry some tears, but don't worry
When I hit the city
I'll build you a house
Right down the street from mine

Have some faith in me and I'll show you why

Bridge:
And as they tore His flesh like animals
There were those I know who felt Him say

CHORUS:
When it's time to go
You've got to let Me go away and save the world
Say goodbye, cry some tears, but don't worry
When I hit the City
I'll build you a house
Right down the street from Mine

Just have faith in Me and I'll show you why
