Marriage

Living Water (a widower's song)

Audio:


Lyrics:

How I miss the color of her smile,
The living light she'd pour into my day
A breathing of the air again,
A whisper to my trusted friend,
A gathering of life upon her face

I want to say this to the children:
Life is harder than you ever thought it would be.
But in the darkness of the pain,
Standing on the edge of hell,
What is true may still be hidden,
Like a book high on a shelf.
Persevere in love, my sons and daughters,
Do not leave the well.
You will find the living water

The Giver

Audio:


Lyrics:

When I lay down, still and quiet, I haven't quite fallen asleep
There's another soul beside me that I pray for the Lord to keep
At times I forget to be grateful for the marvel and bloom of each day
But somehow this silence reminds me just to say . . .

You are the Giver, and You've given this moment to me
You have parted this lonely dark sea--
I walk in the land of Your living, embracing the gift of The Giver

When I'm stretched thin, to my breaking, I cling to my unconquered pride;

A House United

Lyrics:

Light . . . through a window,
An invitation at the back door
The warmth of love alive,
Drawing me inside

I was walking through the forest,
My feet lost in the snow,
And then a face was looking toward me,
Like someone I should know,
And they were standing in a doorway,
In a house all full of glow
And there was no way that I could say no,
There was no way that I could say no...

Change and Stability

Change… and Stability.

I am beginning to accept it, that fact which so many of you have so smugly seen coming for so long.  My identity is changing.

Over the past fifteen or so years, you have watched me grow from a late-arriving college student, to a seminary student, to a self-employed computer guy, to a third-shift computer vampire.  I chased co-eds, created webpages, wrote songs, and cooked meals.
