Soften My Heart - Beth Williams Gospel Songs

Original 2014 (see lyrics below) (BMI)

I tried to sing and play this song but it was just to emotional for me. I thank Johnny for taking the lyrics and creating this track...it really means a lot to me. Johnny Minstrel is from Durban, South Africa. Please donate to Alzheimer's research if you can. In memory of my Dad.

Lyrics:
EVERY MORNING AFTER BREAKFAST
HE DROVE TO THE LOCAL COFFEE SHOP
ONE MORNING EVERTHING CHANGED
AS HE WALKED OUT OF THAT SHOP
SITTING IN HIS TRUCK HE REALIZED
HE DIDN'T KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO
WAS SUDENLY VERY CONFUSED
AND DIDN'T KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO
HE FINALLY DECIDED TO TURN RIGHT
HE WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME
WAS THE FIRST TIME TO LOOSE HIS WAY
AND HE FELT SO ALL ALONE

CHORUS
HE DIDN'T KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO
WHAT'S AHEAD GOD ONLY KNOWS
COULD ONLY REMEMBER THE BAD TIMES
THE GOOD TIMES HAD LEFT HIS MIND
HE DIDN'T KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO

THE DOCTOR MADE HIM STOP DRIVING
COULD NO LONGER GO TO THE SHOP
COULD HARDLY WALK WITHOUT FALLING
HE NO LONGER KNEW WHICH WAY TO GO
I'LL NEVER FORGET THE DAY HE PASSED AWAY
THE NURSE FOUND HIM SITTING UP IN BED
TOLD HER HE'D BEEN TALKING TO JESUS
SHOWED HIM THE RIGHT WAY TO GO

(REPEAT CHORUS 2 TIMES)

HE DIDN'T KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO (Lyrics by Tony - Featuring Johnny Minstrel) with Lyrics - Original

Burning Tree – Words & Music: Pravinand Maharaj aka Johnny Minstrel - with additional Greek chant by Brian Peters

What fire’s this?
No smoke no burn
Whose voice it speaks?
So loud, so stern
Neath the burning tree

What does it say?
What can you hear?
Kneel down and pray
Till the thunder rolls clear
From the burning tree

Chorus:
I am, I am
Though my face you can’t see
I am, I am
And I will always be

What must you do?
You hear people cry
Who’ll go with you?
Set the captives free to fly
From the burning tree

Chorus:
I am, I am
Though my face you can’t see
I am, I am 
And I will always be

Who can change the aimless
A sated man won’t feed
Who can name the Nameless
On every tongue
Calling from your need

Chorus:
I am, I am
Though my face you can’t see
I am, I am
And I will always be

What fire’s this?
No smoke, no burn
Whose voice it speaks?
So loud, so stern
Neath the burning tree

Additional Chant by Brian Peters:
Ακίνητος υποκινητής – 
αιτία και Γεννήτορά...
Akienintosh Epokinitis – 
Atia kay Yennitora
(Motionless Mover – Causer – Begetter – Prime Parent)

AS THE OLD COWBOY		
RODE INTO TOWN		
HE WAS LOOKIN'		
ALL AROUND		
		
HE'D BEEN RIDIN'		
LONG AND HARD		
FROM HIS SADDLE		
SWEAT WAS DRIPPIN'		
		
HE TIED HIS HORSE		
TO THE HITCHIN' POST		
WALKED INSIDE		
THE OLD SALOON		
		
HE WAS LOOKIN'		
FOR BILLY DEAN		
A TWO LEGGED SNAKE		
MAN, WAS HE MEAN 		
		
CHORUS		
THE RATTLESNAKE SALOON		
WHERE THE WHISKEY FLOWS		
THE RATTLESNAKE SALOON		
WHERE THE BAD MEN GO		
THE RATTLESNAKE SALOON		
WHERE MANY HAVE DIED		
THE RATTLESNAKE SALOON		
WHERE FROM YOUR SIN 		
YOU CANNOT HIDE		
FROM YOUR SIN		
YOU CANNOT HIDE		
		
THE TIRED COWBOY		
SPOTTED THE ONE		
HE'D BEEN HUNTIN'		
NO MORE SEARCHIN'		
		
AS THEIR EYES MET		
GUNS WERE DRAWN		
THE OLD COWBOY		
BEAT HIM TO THE DRAW

AS DEAN FELL TO THE FLOOR
HE SAID, SORRY OLD MAN
DIDN'T MEAN TO KILL HER
GUESS YOU EVENED THE SCORE

Rattlesnake Saloon - Lyrics by Tony Harris - Featuring Bob Warner - Original

I was thinking about my cousin Wayne and decided to write a song about him. This is a very quick one take recording. Lyrics, Vocal & Guitar by Tony.

HIS MAMA DIED AT CHILD BIRTH
HIS DADDY DIED IN WORLD WAR II…….
BORN HARD OF HEARING
HE HAD A PROBLEM OR TWO

RAISED BY HIS GRAND PARENTS
THAT DIDN'T SHOW MUCH LOVE…….
TIMES THEY WERE HARD
HAD SOME HELP FROM GOD ABOVE

(CHORUS)
COUSIN WAYNE….COUSIN WAYNE
HOW I MISS COUSIN WAYNE…….
ALWAYS JOKIN'….ALWAYS SMILIN'
LIFE NEVER BROUGHT HIM DOWN
LIFE NEVER BROUGHT HIM DOWN

BEING FIVE YEARS OLDER 
I LOOKED UP TO HIM…….. 
LOVED THEM FAST CARS
BURNIN' THEM TIRES

HAD A LITTLE RED TRUCK
ALWAYS HOTRODIN'………
EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT
HE WAS DRAG RACIN'

(REPEAT CHORUS)

WHEN GRANDMA GAVE UP
HE MET A GIRL FROM BULL MOUNTAIN…….
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
TIME TO PARK THE LITTLE RED TRUCK

THEY WERE SOON MARRIED
BOTH ARE GONE NOW
THE BULL MOUNTAIN GIRL
ROCKED WAYNE'S WORLD

(REPEAT CHORUS )

WELL, I WAS WALKIN' OUT THE DOOR…  
JUST WHAT DID I FEEL?  
YOU KNOW I FELT THE RAIN
  IT WAS POURIN' DOWN ON ME  
JUST POURIN' DOWN ON ME… OH, YEAH!  
  THEN I JUMPED IN MY CAR…..  
WELL, I TURNED ON THE KEY  
OF COURSE THE CAR WOULDN'T START
  HOW COULD THIS BE  …..
HAPPENIN’ TO ME?  
JUMPED THE CAR OFF
  …….AS I WAS DRIVIN' DOWN THE ROAD
  I HEARD A BUMPIN' SOUND
  A TIRE BLEW OUT   
WELL, I STOPPED THE CAR
  AND I OPENED THE TRUNK
  OF COURSE THE SPARE WAS FLAT
……IMAGINE THAT?
 WE WERE RUNNING FLAT
  I REACHED FOR MY CELL
  TO CALL OUT FOR HELP   
OF COURSE THE PHONE WAS DEAD  
WITHOUT A CHARGER IN SIGHT 
  FLAGGED A CAR DOWN  
JUST TO ASK FOR HELP
  BLEW HIS HORN  
AS THEY DROVE ON BY  
(CHORUS )  
WELL, I WAS HAVIN'   
ONE OF THOSE DAYS  
WHEN NOTHIN'S RIGHT
  ONE OF THOSE DAYS  
NO HELP IN SIGHT

SOMETIMES HER BEAUTY
INSPIRES ME TO WRITE A SONG
CAUSE SHE BELIEVES IN ME
THINKS I DO NO WRONG

SOMETIMES A PICTURE
INSPIRES ME TO WRITE A SONG
IF IT PAINTS A PRETTY PICTURE
IT MAKES YOU SING ALONG

SOMETIMES THE SUMMER RAIN
INSPIRES ME TO WRITE A SONG
THE SOUND OF THE RAIN DROPS
CAN TAKE  AWAY THE PAIN

SOMETIMES GOD'S KINDNESS
INSPIRES ME TO WRITE A SONG
I PRAY THAT MY LYRICS
BRING SOME HAPPINESS

(CHORUS)
DON'T KEEP THE WORDS INSIDE
LET THEM BREATHE…LET THEM FLOW
LET YOUR HEART BE YOUR GUIDE
DON'T KEEP THE WORDS INSIDE

SOMETIMES A MEMORY
INSPIRES ME TO WRITE A SONG
COULD BE A BAD ONE
THAT CAUSED SOME MISERY

SOMETIMES A ROAD SIGN
INSPIRES ME TO WRITE A SONG
ABOUT A SMALL TOWN
MY TIME TO MAKE IT SHINE

SOMETIMES OUR FREEDOM
INSPIRES ME TO WRITE A SONG 
ABOUT OUR COUNTRY
CAUSE FREEDOM'S NOT FREE
NO, FREEDOM'S NOT FREE

To my Soundclouds Friends (Don't Keep The Words Inside) Spoken words Tony - Guitar by Bob Warner

The City

Once it was a city
Now it’s just a street
With every mile another dream lays crushed
And the sun shows no pity
Pouring out its heat
As mighty towers crumble into dust

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

There were signs on the water
Portents in the sky
The Watchers blind by sleep didn’t see a thing
Six crows at the altar
A bargain for the price
Half less worth an eagle’s broken wing

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

What walks the moon at midnight
Through the narrow lanes 
Lurking in the shadows that it cast
A pestilence upon us, a blight
A spreading stain
Taking everything out on its path

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

So, sing the last love song written
Drink up the vineyard grape
Rouse the ghosts of tomorrow from their slumber
If I break out of this prison
And the hour’s not too late
I’ll be down the road without a name or number

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

Vocal & Music by Chuck Aaron

WHEN YOU GROW UP IN THE COUNTRY	
COUNTRY'S IN YOUR BLOOD	
NO SIDEWALKS AND RED LIGHTS	
YOU DON'T GROW UP IN LUXURY	
	
WE WENT TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY	
TO A SMALL COUNTRY CHURCH	
BACK AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY	
TO HEAR THE PREACHER PREACH	
	
WE GATHERED ON THE FRONT PORCH	
IN THE SPRING, SUMMER AND FALL	
LAUGHTED AND HAD A GREAT TIME	
SOME OF THE BEST TIMES OF ALL	
	
(CHORUS)	
WHEN YOU'RE RAISED IN THE COUNTRY	
YOU'RE COUNTRY PROUD	
WHEN YOU'RE RAISED IN THE COUNTRY	
YOU MIGHT STAND OUT IN A CROWD	
WHEN YOU'RE RAISED IN THE COUNTRY	
YOU'RE COUNTRY PROUD…..........	
YEA, YOU'RE COUNTRY PROUD	
	
AT HARVAST TIME IN THE FALL	
IT WAS ALL HANDS ON DECK	
WE HAD TO ANSWER THE CALL	
SOMETIMES A PAIN IN THE NECK	
	
THE COTTON FIELDS WERE WHITE	
AND THE ROWS WERE LONG	
WITH NO END IN SIGHT	
WE SURE DID SLEEP AT NIGHT	
	
GOOD TIMES AND GOOD MEMORIES	
AS MY MIND GOES BACK IN TIME	
I REMEMBER MY MAMA CALLIN'	
COME HOME...IT'S SUPPERTIME	
	
(REPEAT CHORUS 1 or 2 times)

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL
WAS A SMALL COUNTRY STORE
BUYIN' A COKE AND MOON PIE
IT WAS QUITE A THRILL

WHERE THE OLD MEN GATHERED
TO PLAY DOMINO'S AND CHECKERS
YOUNG BOYS GATHERED TO PLAY BALL
IN THE PASTURE OUT BACK

THE KID'S LOVED CATCHIN' FIRE FLIES
AND PUTTIN' THEM IN A JAR
WATCHIN' THEM LIGHT UP
UNDER THE STARY SKIES

(CHORUS)
GOIN' BACK IN TIME
WITH COUNTRY ON MY MIND
GOIN' BACK IN TIME
TO A SIMPLER TIME
YEA, GOIN' BACK IN TIME
TO A SIMPLER TIME

SETTIN' OUT FISH HOOKS
ON A SMALL CREEK BANK
SITTIN' AROUND A CAMP FIRE
TELLIN' STORIES AND JOKES

NO CITY STREETS OR BOULEVARDS
PLAYED SOME BASKETBALL
WITH  HOME MADE GOALS
IN OUR BACK YARDS

NO I-PAD OR I-PHONE
JUST SOME GOOD TIMES
AND GOOD MEMORIES
OF A WONDERFUL HOME

(REPEAT CHORUS 1 or 2 times)

Back In Time - Lyrics by Tony Harris - Featuring Chuck Aaron - Original

I grew up listening to country music along with early Rock & Roll. Chuck
Berry was nicknamed "Father of Rock & Roll.  With such songs as
Maybellene, Roll Over Beethoven, Rock & Roll Music and Johnny B. Goode he topped the charts in the 1950's.  Every guitar player of my
generation played or tried to play Johnny B Goode.  He died March 18, 2017. No one does it like Chuck Berry, so I decided to do my version of Nadine as a tribute to the man.  Thanks

FAST MOMENT  LIllithe & Paploviante

In city shoes
Of clueless blues
Pays the views
And no-mans news
Blades will fade from blood to sport
The heroin's cut these fuses short
Smokers rode a colonial pig
Drink and frame this pain I think
I'm melting silver poles my dear
You bleed your wings and then disappear
The moving scenes and pilot lights
Smithereens have got 'em scaling heights
Modern times come talk me down
And battle lines are drawn across this town
Parisian boys without your names
Ghetto stones instead of chains
Talk 'em down cause it's up in flames
And nothing's changed
Parisian boys without your names
Riot like 1968 again
The days of rage yeah nothing's changed
Well pretty flames
In school I would just bite my tongue
And now your words they strike me down
The flags are false and they contradict
They point and click which wounds to lick
On avenues this Christian breeze
Turns its heart to more needles please
Our eyes roll back and we beg for more
It frays this skin and then underscore
The case for war you spin and bleed
The sales you feel screensavers feed
The girls you breed the soaps that you write
The graceless charm of your gutter snipes
The moving scenes and suburbanites
And smithereens got 'em scaling heights
Modern times come talk me down
The battle lines are drawn across this town
English boys without your names
Ghetto stones instead of chains
Hearts and minds and U.S. planes
Nothing's changed
And English boys without your names
Riot like the 1980's again
The days of rage yeah nothing's changed
More pretty flames

Lyrics:
Strange, I've seen that face before
Seen him hanging 'round my door
Like a hawk stealing for the prey
Like the night waiting for the day
Strange, he shadows me back home
Footsteps echo on the stones
Rainy nights, on Haussmann Boulevard
Parisian music drifting from the bars
Tu cherches quoi, rencontrer la mort?
Tu te prends pour qui?
Toi aussi tu détestes la vie
Dance in bars and restaurants
Home with anyone who wants
Strange he's standing there alone
Staring eyes chill me to the bone
Dans sa chambre, Joel et sa valise
Un regard sur ses fringues
Sur les murs, des photos
Sans regret, sans mélo
La porte est claquée, Joel est barré

I've Seen That Face Before feat. Vocalatti

Remembering old friends and places with such great images.  This song
was written by Lyle Lovett and Robert Earl Keen Jr,. while they attended
Texas A&M in the late 70's. It was released by Lyle in 1986.  What an American singer and songwriter.  A gem of a song

In a World Without Why
I keep wondering When
Just when in The Hell….
Will it make sense again?
The Grindin’ of Gears
And, The Spinnin’ of Wheels 
Overcoming Fears
Man, I forgot how it feels….
--- Chorus ---
In a World Without Why
They make up all their own answers
Are you tired of watching Bad Moves
By The World’s Worst Dancers?
You know sometimes I wonder…
Why can’t we all just get along?
Because when everything’s right
We’re feeling so strong
--- Bridge ---
Words without Action
Songs without Verse
Should we join The Band…..
Or, maybe, just rehearse?
Why not end all the Lyin’….
Oh, Why can’t they tell?
Cuz’ Nobody’s Buyin'…..
What they’re tryin’ to Sell !

HE NEVER GOT A FAIR SHAKE			
NO MATTER HOW HARD HE TRIED			
NEVER GOT A BRAKE			
ALWAYS WANDERIN' WHY			
			
NO MATTER WHAT WAS GOIN' ON			
HE NEVER CAME OUT ON TOP			
WHAT DID HE DO WRONG			
HAD WORKED NONSTOP

HIS GRANDPA ALWAYS SAID			
JUST KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON			
NEVER GIVE UP THE FIGHT			
KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON			
ALLWAYS DO WHAT'S RIGHT			
KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON			
ANGEL'S ARE ALMOST IN SIGHT			
			
HE DIDN'T LET IT GET HIM DOWN 			
DID THE BEST THAT HE COULD DO			
RUNNIN' FOR THAT TOUCHDOWN			
CAUSE HIS TIME WAS OVERDUE			
			
HIS LIFE WAS FILLED WITH STRIFE			
NEVER STOPPED DREANIN'			
WANTED THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE			
NEVER STOPPED TRYIN'

NEVER GIVE UP THE FIGHT

The lyrics below inspired Glen to produce this track.

JOHNNY WASEN'T A PREACHER MAN	
OR THE LEADER OF A WORSHIP BAND	
HE WASEN'T A BIG TIME MINISTER	
OR EVEN A SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER	
	
HE NEVER EVER PRAYED OUT LOUD	
OR TRIED TO STAND OUT IN A CROWD	
HE WAS NO STRANGER TO LUST OR SIN	
NEVER AFRAID TO SAY AMEN	
	
(CHORUS)	
JOHNNY LOVED JESUS, MUSIC AND FAMILY  	
HE WAS ABSOLUTELY HIS OWN WORST ENEMY	
HE LOVED SINGIN' PRAISES TO HIS LORD	
PRAYED THAT HEAVEN WOULD BE HIS REWARD	
	
	
HE DIDN'T LIVE IN A MANSION	
OR NEED LOTS OF  ATTENTION	
HE DIDN'T DRIVE A FANCY CAR	
OR OWN ANY RARE GUITARS	
	
HE LOVED HIS OLD FLAT TOP	
AND HE PLAYED IT NONSTOP	
HE WAS A TRUE DISCIPLE	
OF THAT OLD TIME COUNTRY GOSPEL	
	
(REPEAT CHORUS)	
	
NOW HE'S SINGIN' WITH THE ANGEL'S	
AND WALKIN' THE STREETS OF GOLD
