It was a seemingly normal day,
When they came and took Him away.
From a place called Gethsemane,
Where He was praying on bended knees.

They put Him to shame,
As they made fun of His name.
They struck Him with a splintered rod,
Because He claimed to be the Son of God.

They used metal, glass, bones, and lead,
To construct a whip that made Him bled.
Flogged Him forty-times minus one,
But after all that they weren't quite done.

He suffered from great pain,
When they struck Him again and again.
Bleeding, bruised, and almost dead,
They placed a crown of thorns upon His head.

Flesh torn open from the thorns and whip,
They put a robe around His body and hip.
It soaked the blood that was shed,
The royal purple turned scarlet red.

They mocked Him and spat on His face,
The once recognizable man was now at utter disgrace.
They heeded to drive wrought iron nails through His wrist,
And through the heel bones without a single miss.

'The King of Jews' was fixed above His head,
And on the cross He was crucified and left for the dead.
Imagine, if you had the power of this man that day,
Would you throw yourself off the cross and say,

"I condemn you all for bringing me through this!"
For He did no wrong in God's midst.
But with a single cry and a soft moan,
He chose to die even when His Father left Him alone.

The man, Jesus, was indeed He,
Who gave up His life for you and me.
Who conquered death after three days,
For He was no longer where His body was laid.

So, we are saved by His grace,
From falling into the eternal fiery place.
We never truly realize why He freed us of our fate,
Until we learn that His love for us was just too great.

This is where God demonstrated His love,
He sent His only Son from above.
We need to give glory where due,
Because Love sacrificed itself for you.

As I looked into her eyes
And searched her heart
The hurt, the pain she felt
Tore me apart

The love that was once there
And the smile on her face
The happiness and joy
Was now replaced

The dreams that filled her life
The songs in her dreams
Were once again lost in despair
And the hope of peace was unseen

The unfelt love
The heart filled with sorrow
Tears of sadness
Waiting for tomorrow

She changed my life
That very day
I felt her hurt, her pain
As I turned and walked away

A broken heart
A heart filled with sorrow
The search for love was
The tears of tomorrow

(1996)

The freshness of the moist morning
The dampness of dew on the earth
Fills me up and lifts me high into the sky
The gentle breeze carries my heart
Up into the heavens
To be united with butterfly kisses
That are sent afar
The clouds in the sky
Conceals a hidden mystery
Waiting to be unwrapped
The lights in the city twinkle magically
And the voice of the world
Drifts musically through my soul

People are gifts
They come in many colours, shapes, and sizes
Some are freely received with open arms
Are loved and treated well

Yet others are rejected
These gifts are left behind
Thrown and strewn all over the floor
Left to be stepped on

(1996)

Life is like a dream
Endless hours of
Reckless adventures
Life is like a dream
Filled with surprises
Full of excitement
Life is like a dream
Sweet memories of
Tender moments
Life is like a dream
Pale blue skies
Sunny weather
But, like a dream
It too ends
