I encourage you to check out the version if this song with lyrics. I wrote the music back when I was 15 and since then (30 years now wow!!) it's been about 4 different songs but my latest version completes the song and its very dear to my heart.

Redeemed Instrumental

Looking at the road ahead
Coming to a bend
I may lose a lover here
I may lose a friend

If that is what happens
If that should come to pass
I may not be able to
Withstand the blast

I need you,  I need you
I need you like the clouds need the sky
I need you and I’m not going to let you get away
Cuz I love you and I’m willing to fight

Looking at these circumstances
Staring in my face
Makes me blink, turns my head
Makes me look away

If this was my Alamo
A last stand metaphor
The meaning clearly points to this:
I need you even more!

I need you, I need you
I need you like the clouds need the sky
I need you and I’m not going to let you get away
Cause I love you and I’m willing to fight

I won't be the one that let's you get away
And in spite of all this pain I will stand
But I will be the one who loves you to the end
More than just a friend, I'm your man

I need you,  I need you
I need you like the clouds need the sky
I need you and I’m not going to let you get away
Cause I love you and I’m willing  to fight
I love you, I love you
I love you and I’m willing to fight

Fight for You

Introduction
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
As it is in heaven

Verse 1
Selfishness and broken dreams
Bring out unkind words from me
And leaves such deep regret

Could there be another way
To find my peace and mediate
And every need is met

Chorus 1
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
As it is in heaven

Your kingdom come
Your will be done
As it is in heaven

Verse 2
I build up walls draw hard lines
Forget the hurt in others' eyes
Alas, I feel forlorn

But grace still calls across the breach
A greater love within my reach
To bind what pride has torn

Chorus 2
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
As it is in heaven

Your kingdom come
Your will be done
As it is in heaven

Bridge
Only Your kingdom reigning in me
Can change my perceptions of all that I see
Only Your kingdom enthroned in my soul
Can heal and deliver and break down the walls

Chorus 3
May Your kingdom come
Your will be done
As it is in heaven

Your kingdom come
Your will be done
As it is in heaven

Outro
Your kingdom come 
Your will be done
May Your kingdom come
Your kingdom come
As it is in heaven 


As It Is in Heaven

After reading Heaven by Randy Alcorn, I was deeply moved by the hope of the New Heavens and the New Earth promised in Scripture. That vision inspired me to write this new worship song. This song is about longing for our true home, where every tear will be wiped away, creation will be restored, and we’ll live forever in the presence of Jesus. My prayer is that this song encourages you to lift your eyes toward the joy of resurrection and the beauty of eternity with Christ.

New Heavens New Earth

Song inspired by "Revelations of Divine Love", written by Julian of Norwich.  
"All shall be well and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well" - Julian of Norwich, Christian theologian and contemplative (1342-1416).  Julian lay on, what she thought was her deathbed when she received a vision of Christ.  Her vision shaped her view of God as an all- gracious Father seeking to enfold his children in love.  She held fast to the idea of a loving God during a particularly difficult time of plague and poverty in Norwich when the people were questioning sin, goodness, grace and love of God.

All Shall Be Well

Order my steps, O Lord 
Establish the way               
I trust in You with all my heart
I honor Your name
Steady my steps, O Lord
Keep my heart pure
Let me walk in Your promises
Where I'm secure               

Let all things work together for good
He will change those shadows into light
He will bring His presence into every step we take
Comforting our souls, becoming our delight
All things work together for His purposes and His plans
Beyond our understanding at times
He will bring His presence into every step we take
Comforting our souls
Becoming our delight

Establish my steps O Lord
As I try to plan my way
Lead me and guide my feet
For Your namesake
Keep my paths straight, Lord
Keep me upright
Let no temptation hinder my life

If all things work together for good
Then He will change our shadows into light
And He will bring His presence into every step we take
Comforting our soul becoming our delight
All things work together for His purposes and His plan
Beyond our understanding at times
He will bring His presence into every step we take
Comforting our souls 
Becoming our delight
He’s comforting our souls 
Becoming our delight

Every Step

Can I Get An Amen - DEMO

Verse 1
Living God I come to you
Supplying me my daily food
Living God…   I come to You
Providing me our daily bread
The food of life.  That’s what you said
Living God…  I know it’s true 
Chorus 
Living God you have made a way for me
Through the sacrifice of Jesus on that tree
Because of Him I am a new creation
Because of Him I can say that
You are the living God!

Verse 2
God of life I lift You up
What You provide is quite enough
Living God…   I lift You up
Giving me what I need most
Sustaining grace to keep me close
To Your side…   Living God

Chorus 
Living God you have made a way for me
Through the sacrifice of Jesus on that tree
Because of Him I am a new creation
Because of Him I can say that
You are the living God!

Bridge
God of the life…   You have given to me
Born from the water and Spirit— I’m complete
And the life... I now live… in the body… I live
By faith in the living God 

Outro 
Living God you have made a way for me 
Through the sacrifice of Jesus on that tree
Because of Him I am a new creation
Because of Him I can say that
You are the living God!

Living God

I was at the Smokey Mountains Songwriters Festival to catch a showcase featuring several hit country song writers. When it was his turn to play, one of the artist thanked the guys on stage and in the audience for all the years of co writing and performing together. Then he saii this would be his last time at the festival due to terminal cancer. The song started there and I finished it the following year. Appropriately in a cabin in the Smokey's.

Take Me Home

Here I am again
on my knees with you
broken by this burden I give to You
I should be all alone
But You have led me here
A sinner I am found
yet    held  so dear
Chorus
Looking out towards the doorway  looking in
Looking out towards the doorway looking in    
looking out towards the doorway
Searching deep within    
You show my heart forgiven
 once again 
Verse 2
Here I am again
I stand in awe of You
faithful love unending
with everything You do        
I fail You everyday
unworthy of Your grace
Humbled by the mercy I  find      in    You
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
You say its not too late  You won’t let me go
You’re blood has made the way and I have been made whole
repeat chorus
