Lyrics: 

 Shadow Of Your Wings
By: Kathy Kay Wallace and Amy Vanator; DOC: 2/20/22
VS 1: 
I’m walking through the valley of the shadow of death Failures hangin’ over my head
Wrapped up in sadness
Fear blocking out the light
I’m feeling like I’m lost and all alone Praying desparatly to be shown
My way out of this
I’m searching for a sign
Pre:
I’m counting on The refuge of
Your steadfast love

Chorus: 
You open up my eyes to see
When darkness comes, You step between I’m safe underneath this cover over me I’m in the shadow of your wings
The shadow of your wings

VS2: 
If it wasn’t for, the pain along the way When the storms began to rage
I wouldn’t know
the comfort that You bring

 I’m counting on The refuge of
Your steadfast love
Chorus
BR:
Like an eagle protecting its nest
Father you give me a safe place to rest You remove all the heaviness
With the comfort of your presence, ohhh
Chorus 2:
You’ve been there all along, Lord I see... When darkness comes, you step between I'm safe underneath this cover over me I’m in the shadow of your wings
Outro:
The shadow of your wings
Ohh, the shadow of your wings
Ohh, the shadow of your wings

“How precious is your steadfast love, O God! The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.” Psalm 36:7

Shadow Of Your Wings

I never got his name
But he kinda looked like Leon Bridges
He took my hand and danced with me
In the middle of the street in the Garden District 

That smile on his lips, had me dreaming of a kiss, oh yeah
But we went our separate ways, and still to this day I find myself on the dance floor in

New Orleans
Swaying to the beat
Thinking ‘bout that moment 
I just know if 
He wasn’t a stranger
It wouldn’t have to linger  
‘Cause I’m still hoping 
It was more than a moment

I can’t believe that I
Had the time of my life and never got his number
For a November night
It sure burned hot like a Louisiana summer

Even though it’s been a while, I’d drive all the miles just to see
It’s a shot in the dark, but Magazine Street sounds pretty sweet, him and me in

New Orleans
Swaying to the beat
Thinking ‘bout that moment 
I just know if 
He wasn’t a stranger
It wouldn’t have to linger  
‘Cause I’m still hoping 
It was more than a moment

That smile on his lips, had me dreaming of a kiss, oh yeah
But we went our separate ways, and still to this day I find myself on the dance floor in

New Orleans
Swaying to the beat
Thinking ‘bout that moment 
I just know if 
He wasn’t a stranger
It wouldn’t have to linger  
‘Cause I’m still hoping 
It was more than a moment

What’s he up to now? Maybe I’ll find his face
Searching the crowd in every jazz cafe
He’ll twirl me around and around and around
And it won’t have to end 
We’ll be more than a moment

Slow Dancing with a Statue
Amy Vanator, Christine Merritt, Jolene Dixon

It’s our anniversary
You can’t even look at me
Your faking is making it worse 
Cold shoulder, I don’t deserve
I’m in your favorite black dress
You couldn’t care less

I’ve done all I can do
Dips and twirls with no help from you
here’s the stone cold truth
I’m slow dancing with a statue


I miss your two left feet
And the sound of your heartbeat
All I get back when I lean in with a kiss
Is concrete lips


I’ve done all I can do
Dips and twirls with no help from you
Cuz here’s the stone cold truth
I’m slow dancing with a statue


Give me a reason to keep up this waltz
Or I’m taking these high heels off
 
I’ve done all I can do
Dips and twirls with no help from you
Here’s the stone cold truth
I’m slow dancing with a statue

Lyrics:
Wrinkles and Scars
By Amy Vanator; amyvanator@hotmail.com; DOC: 2/9/23

Growing up I loved this old willow tree
A place I could cry when I scraped my knees
Under the cover of it’s branches
I prayed I’d never stop taking chances 
And learn from my mistakes, in love and heartaches 

It’s taken me awhile to get it
To forgive and when wrong to admit it
But wounds can heal and leave a sign
That you’re stronger on the inside
Some things are better with age, and I can honestly say

I wouldn’t trade my wrinkles and scars
That prove I’ve been livin’ and I made it this far
And the work I’ve been doing
Is working on my heart
There’s a better version of me
Beneath wrinkles and scars

Time sure flies and when I don’t remember 
Who I’m tryin to become, I look in the mirror
And see the laughter on my face
Like the marks you can’t erase 
If I’m gonna get these lines, I want the smiling kind 
CH:
I wouldn’t trade my wrinkles and scars
That prove I’ve been livin’ and I made it this far
And the work I’ve been doing
Is working on my heart
There’s a better version of me
Beneath wrinkles and scars

BR: 
Sometimes I catch a glimpse of the child in me
Sitting under that old willow tree
And I tell myself I’m doing my best
To live a life without regrets
Chorus
Outro: The things that really matter are deeper than wrinkles and scars
