I am not the only traveler
Who has not repaid his debt
I've been searching for a trail to follow again
Take me back to the night we met
And then I can tell myself
What the hell I'm supposed to do
And then I can tell myself
Not to ride along with you

I had all and then most of you
Some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Haunted by the ghost of you
Oh, take me back to the night we met

When the night was full of terrors
And your eyes were filled with tears
When you had not touched me yet
Oh, take me back to the night we met

I had all and then most of you
Some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Haunted by the ghost of you
Take me back to the night we met

The Night We Met

The night we met

“Down” Lyrics:

Welcome down, it’s been awhile since we could ascend.

I once saw light, but not so bright, it morphed to the night.

And in the dark, I feel my pulse, grabbing for life.

Take a breath, forgive the hurt, it’ll be alright.




In shadows deep, where silence creeps, I search for grace,  

With every step, I’ll find my strength, I’ll embrace the chase.  

Through the storms, I’ll rise again, with hope as my guide,  

With every scar, a story told, I’ll wear them with pride.  



The dawn will break, the clouds will part, revealing the day,  

A flicker bright, ignites my heart, leading the way.  

So here I stand, I’ll take the chance, to soar and to dream,  

In this moment, I am free, nothing’s as it seems.

Down - Original by Jonathan Patton

John 3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

Jesus came into the world as a baby, subjected himself to humility, and died for all. I wrote this song to express the humility that Jesus Christ endured for the sake of all mankind. His Birth, Humility, Death and Resurrection paid the price for the sins of mankind.

Birth

Jesus was born into humble circumstances, in a shelter for animals and laid in a manger. His birth was a demonstration of humility and was in keeping with his mission. 

Humility

Jesus Christ, the son of God in the flesh humbled himself by taking on the form of a human being, and by not taking advantage of the luxuries he had in heaven. He endured persecution, shame, and scorn, and was ultimately crucified for sinful mankind.

Death

Jesus died for all so that those who live would live for him. His death was a sacrifice for sinners, and represented the greatest victory over evil. 
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him will have eternal life. 
John 3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

Jesus now says this in Revelation 1:18. " I am the one who lives; I was dead, but look, I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys to death and to the place of the dead,

I Love It

Knightley

The storm breaks for a rainbow
As droplets dance across the Netarts Bay 
Eagles soar between the clouds
And sun peeks out to shine upon your face

A seal in the surf rolling in joy
darts in and out along the waves
A baby otter on her momma’s chest
Lets out a yawn then wants to play

Amber hughes start coloring the night 
Gold curtains open up a shimmering sky
Awakening a hope 
To catch a glimmer of Northern Lights

We loaded up our traps
And set the boat to float across the Netarts Bay 
I shucked a bunch of oysters 
while we waited for the crabs to come our way
This showering of light
That rushes over us as dusk begins to fade
Leaves us struck with awe and wonder
As the boat so gently glides into the haze

Amber hues start coloring the night 
Gold curtains open up a shimmering sky
It seems as if we finally have the chance
To bask beneath the Northern Lights

Amber hughes start coloring the night 
Gold curtains open up a shimmering sky
Who knows? We may just come to find 
Our destiny 
Sailing to the Northern Lights

The Northern Lights (rough mix)

Forward

Been a songwriter, composer and musician for many years. Many years ago I asked God to help me write, compose and share music for him. Its just a way of giving back to him what he has already given me.
