My version of this wonderful song by Michael W. Smith by request again.. lyrics below;
Above all powers, above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here, before the world began

Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth

Crucified, laid behind a stone
You lived to die, rejected and alone
Like a rose, trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all

Above all powers, above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here, before the world began

Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth

Crucified, laid behind a stone
You lived to die, rejected and alone
Like a rose, trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all

Like a rose, trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all

Thank you Jesus
Hallelujah

ABOVE ALL (cover) lyrics included

Excuse the vocals as I am not a vocalist.  Wrote this song with Bruce Wallace.  Like any opinion..Thanks

AMAZING GRACE WHAT AN AWSOME SOUND By Doc Van Nice and Bruce Wallace

From my personal worship time on my keyboard. Nothing fancy .just my musical prayer.  Seeing all that is going on with lawlessness and hate in this country. I really want to see people as HE sees them. Thought I would share this.  Nothing fancy
Lyrics,
Open our eyes, Lord,
we want to see Jesus,
to reach out and touch him,
and say that we love him.
Open our ears, Lord,
and help us to listen.
Open our eyes, Lord,
we want to see Jesus.

OPEN OUR EYES LORD WITH VOCAL   cover nothing fancy just my musical prayer

Again inspired to do this piece this way.. it is different than what i have done in the past.  I am so amazed at this inspiration and I give God the credit.

YAHWEH original by doc van nice vocals by Lucy

My heart is broken for all the family's and especially the children who have to suffer through this stupid war..  I pray for them.  This piece came out of my anguish for what is happening.  Maranatha!!!

WAR'S ECHO ... ( God help us turn swords into plows)pray for Ukraine's music artists as well

Facing some large trials and challenges has inspired me to do this piece.  Thinking of all those who are facing disappointments and  regrets in their lives.  This music came out of those honest feelings.

SPIRITUAL REFLECTIONS (A soulful journey)

ORIGINAL MUSIC  BY DENNIS VAN NICE....This was a spontaneous piece.  It is the raw cut I made and i decided to leave all the mistakes in so as to keep the original spirit of what came upon me at that moment.  The message is obvious.

THE RETURNING

SOAKING CHRISTIAN INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC

 Woke today with this in my spirit

A PRAYER WARRI0R'S TEARS(for a time such as this)

At my work in the hospital it has been my privilege to share with spouses who are about to lose their mate.  Just recently talked with a 90+ year old whose wife was about to die.  This is the inspiration for this song.  I also remember my mother who went through this after my dad died.  She just didn't want to go on at first but then began to realize that she must go on and that he would want her to.   LYRICS BELOW
NOT ANOTHER DAY

By Dennis Van Nice

63 years or has it been 64
I really can’t remember anymore
holding her hand when they came through the door
Telling me she isn’t here anymore

I held her hand long and I sang her our song
Her hand was so cold and it seemed so wrong
I stood to go and I bowed my head to pray
Take her away ..take her today

Jesus take her hand 
Take her all the way to your promised land
Where she will have no more pain
Have no more fears
Have no more needs 
And she’ll have no more tears
Jesus take her home where she’ll never be alone
Take her home today I pray

Loneliness and sorrow 
Don’t make a good companion
This place I’m in 
this pain I’m in
I’m so tired
I can’t go on without her
I don’t want to go on with out her
Take my hand today I pray 
Take me away 
Take me today


Jesus take my hand 
Take me to your promised land
Where i will have no pain
Have no  fear
Have no needs 
And I’ll have no tears
Jesus take me home…. I don’t want to live alone 
Take me home today... I pray

Not my will be done but yours
Can you help me make it through another day
Is this a better way 
To live my life and when it is through 
I can call on you
And say

Jesus take my hand
Take me all the way to your promised land
Where I will have no more pain
Have no more fears 
Have no more needs and I’ll have no more tears

Jesus take me home 
Where I’ll never be alone
And I won’t have to live another day without her
No not without her
Not another day


NOT ANOTHER DAY

This just came to me with images in my head.  This is a first rough cut and done spontaneously.  
couldn't stop until this was done.  Just stuck there in my head until I recorded this.  compulsive

WAR IN HEAVEN (Betrayal)

Missing them all .Had a life changing health problem recently and thinking of this theme a lot lately.  Seeing them face to face may be sooner than I expected.  No regrets. Thank you all for your support.

WISH I COULD SEE THEM AGAIN (an old mans wish) By Doc Van Nice

REVIVAL FIRE raw just an idea. .rough cut

Childhood should be an innocent time.  What have we done to our children!

Just thinking how great it is to have fellowship with people you like and how it makes you feel afterwards.  Just wonderful

FRIENDLY BREEZE

Coming out of a depression..this old song came back to me..  It helped me so much I decided to make a cover with my arrangement.  Lyrics below
Draw Me Close
Michael W. Smith

Draw me close to you
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear you say that I'm your friend
You are my desire
No one else will do
'Cause nothing else can take your place
To feel the warmth of your embrace
Help me find the way
Bring me back to you
You're all I want
You're all I've ever needed
You're all I want
Help me know you are near
Draw me close to you
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear you say that I'm your friend
You are my desire
No one else will do
'Cause nothing else can take your place
To feel the warmth of your embrace
Help me find the way
Bring me back to you
(chorus)
You're all I want
You're all I've ever needed
You're all I want
Help me know you are near
You're all I want
You're all I've ever needed
You're all I want
Help me know you are near

DRAW ME CLOSE  by Michael W. Smith (cover) keyboard/piano

I was asked to start sharing the music I play during my personal prayer and worship time.  so here is  one of those to share. Sometimes so difficult to play as it touches me so deeply at times

HOW HE LOVES (cover) David Crowder Band

This was done by request..A song done when we all thought we would be drafted to Nam.. somehow connected some of us to that war..  For you Kenny.. tried to stay true to the original on my keyboard.

NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN (cover by request) the Moody Blues

Attempted to do this as well as I could..hope it doesn't disappoint..kind of rough and not sure about the mix

LAMB OF GOD cover by request..best i could do?

The reality of this pandemic outbreak is overwhelming..we are going to lose friends and family with this pandemic..brings me to tears thinking about it and can't believe it is happening..my uneasiness with this comes out in this piece..this is not a beautiful piece by any means  but a reflection of where I am emotionally locked in my house.  Maranatha!! and please pray for the victims and their families!!

OUTBREAK

From my personal worship time on my keyboard. Nothing fancy.just my musical prayer as of late seeing all that is going on with lawlessness and hate in this country. I really want to see people as he sees them.  thought I would share it.
Lyrics,
Open our eyes, Lord,
we want to see Jesus,
to reach out and touch him,
and say that we love him.
Open our ears, Lord,
and help us to listen.
Open our eyes, Lord,
we want to see Jesus.

OPEN OUR EYES LORD cover just my musical prayer) simple Lyrics

A number of years ago while working in the ICU one of the patients died and coded after heart surgery. He was only 42 years old.  He did survive after being dead for about 15 minutes.  When visiting with him the next day he told me of his experience of going to heaven and given a choice to stay or come back.  He had smaller children and although he wanted to stay he chose to come back. What really made it interesting was that while we were coding him and before he left for heaven he could see us working on him and could give me details of what was happening. That is the inspiration for this piece.  Heaven is real for any who doubt....

VALLEY OF THE SHADOW   inspired by the 23rd psalm and a personal experience with an NDE individual

making music feeds my soul. Will continue as long as I am able and appreciate your support .Hope you enjoy these pieces that I loved doing and sharing. God bless you all>
