Mixed for Lillithe

This songs been on S.C. awhile but its one of my favorites and sadly rings more true everyday.
I don't know if you've seen US news lately..have you noticed the profound deception?  Please pray for the US.
I ponder "something's missing" in the song. It's the gospel. We have changed the gospel of truth. It's been changed to a self help crusade...me me me.. as a nation we aren't seeing our need for a savior because sin isn't sin anymore.. we've been sooo decieved..We don't see how lost.. we are. But Praise God Jesus came to seek and save the lost!
About 15 years ago I wrote a song called World Revival( it was a flop) but I took an important phrase out of it and put it into this one "start in me awakening revival". That's my prayer, and I hope it speads like wildfire...

Silly Side note:
This song was so much fun to do! Casey Jake Josh and me all took turns trying to get the muted trumpet part right at the end, it was hillarious cause we all knew WE'D be the one to get it right.. LOL! 3 of us were wrong!!
Verse1
Save us from the jaws that grip us!
Here’s how numb we’ve been made:
Devoured alive before our eyes
Can't feel the pain
Tag
Something’s missing. Where's the revival?
It's a tragedy!
Chorus
Start in me, awakening, revival?
We need a revival!
Repeat
V 2
Do you recall seeing honor die?
What was the cause?
Did we stand up? Did we fight back?
Is there more to be lost? More to be lost.
Tag
Something’s missing. It’s a tragedy! !t’s a tragedy!
Where's the revival?
Repeat chorus
Bridge
We silently yield
Stray from the truth
Traded our peace
Forgotten gratitude
Oh what sacrifice!
Oh what sacrifice!

Ukrainian Text & English Translation:

Боже великий, єдиний,
Нам Україну храни,
Волі і світу промінням
Ти її осіни.

Світлом науки і знання
Нас, дітей, просвіти,
В чистій любові до краю,
Ти нас, Боже, зрости.

Боже великий, єдиний,
Нам Україну храни,
Всі свої ласки й щедроти
Ти на люд наш зверни.

Дай йому волю, дай йому долю,
Дай доброго світу, щастя,
Дай, Боже, народу
І многая, многая літа.

Lord, oh the Great and Almighty,
Protect our beloved Ukraine,
Bless her with freedom and light
Of your holy rays.

With learning and knowledge enlighten
Us, your children small,
In love pure and everlasting
Let us, oh Lord, grow.

Lord, oh the Great and Almighty,
Protect our beloved Ukraine,
Grant our people and country
All your kindness and grace.

Bless us with freedom, bless us with wisdom,
Guide into kind world,
Bless us, oh Lord, with good fortune
For ever and evermore.

Prayer for Ukraine, composed by Mykola Lysenko, lyrics by Oleksandr Konysky.

Inner turmoil
A nations grief
The head and heart in disbelief
Hurled into a desperate land
Physical and mental 
To hard to understand
Take a hold of the warm secure hand
DESPERATE LAND
Lyrics
I Know The Night Is Falling
But I Wont Hear It Land
Although We Are Close Together
We Are In Corners Of A Desperate Land
And You Are Jus A Woman
And I Am Just A Man
But Theres This Space Between Us
That We Struggle To Understand
Chorus
And If You Just Reach Out
And Take My Hand
We Might Just Make It Through
This Desperate Land

In The Night There Are Demons
That Demand A Sacrifice
And Theres No Solace In The Silence
Of A Torturous Night
But If We Stay Close Together
I For You
And You For Me
I Could Smash Your Lock
And Maybe Baby
You Could Turn My Key
Chorus

And I Know The Night Is Falling
But I Wont Hear It Land
Although We Are Close Together
We Are In Corners Of A Desperate Land
You Are My Woman
And I Am Just Your Man
But There's No Space Between Us
That We Cannot Command

Recorded on a Tascam 4-track 
(I am still pleased with the layered guitar sounds we were able to accomplish with such little)
Recorded 1996
FYI Hammond sounds = Yamaha keyboard routing through a crate amp.  We used chorus in which yours truly manually performed the oscillation effect😓
Therefore please give us credit for the creativity.  We didn’t have garage band back then.

A new song from David Cooper and Glen Granthem.

Glen sent me a music track with bass, drums and organ on it and asked me if I could add guitars, lyrics and melody/vocals.

This is the result.

Hope you like how it turned out.

Lyrics are:

Let me go down to the sea so blue
Let me see the ships go sailing through
Let me do what I want to do
Let me go, let me go, let me go

Let me feel the sun on my back again
Let me feel no more physical pain
Let me go back from where I came
Let me go, let me go, let me go

Chorus

There’s a pocket in my heart
It’s such a special part
It’s where I keep my love for you
It’s the only thing to do

Let me go down to the river tonight
Let me take in such a beautiful sight
Let me know that I’m feeling right
Let me go, let me go, let me go

Let me feel the love I should have known
Let me see the people that have gone
Let me feel I’m not on my own
Let me go, let me go, let me go

Chorus

Solo

Let me know what is right from wrong
Let me be the only one
Let me sing my favourite song
Let me go, let me go, let me go

Let me see the moon shining bright
Let me see the stars tonight
Let me see their mystical light
Let me go, let me go, let me go

Chorus

Solo/Bridge

Let me see the children grow
Let me learn all there is to know 
Let me follow my own shadow
Let me go, let me go, let me go

Let me just win once or twice
Let me see a new morn’s light
Let me see things that's nice
Let me go, let me go, let me go

divided body and soul…

Perhaps because of the unseasonable weather and the difference in temperature, I feel as if my body and soul have been divided, without being able to control myself.

Let me be your remedy
I promise not to fail you
Let me be the remedy
For everything that ails you
 
I promise I will be as good
As any other remedy would
With the added benefit of being me
 
Let me be the antidote
To all your poison apples
Take a bite it don’t taste right  
I promise I’ll be able 
To save you from yourself
Spit out the seeds!
 
And if you say that you wanna
I can give you something other
I can be your lover
Open up and tip it over
 
If you come with me  
We can be carefree
Open up and tip it over
Open up and tip over
 
If you say that you wanna
I can give you something other
I can be your lover
Open up and tip it over
 
If you come with me  
We can be carefree
Open up and tip it over
Open up and tip over
 
Let me be your remedy
I promise not to fail you
Let me be the remedy
For everything that ails you
 
I promise I will be as good
As any other remedy would
With the added benefit of being 
 
I promise I will be as good
As any other remedy would 
With the benefit of being 
 
I promise I will be as good
I promise I will be good
I will

With the Benefit of Being Me (with Janine Levinson)

Debra 's been generous enough to let me try to sing something over her beautiful "Song for the morning ". Thx a million my dear friend :))

Morning Song 

you feel my gaze and you wake up
and then slowly you seek my voice
when you have so much trouble waking up from sleep
I want to be near you
because you're looking at me with that unmistakable look because you squeeze my hand
to say "it's forever "
so I wrote this morning song for you

Original Lyrics:

There has to be something there
I seen it with my own eyes
Feel the carefree summer breeze
It makes my curtains rise

I sit and think of how it's been
I seen it with my own eyes
Traveling through this kaleidoscope
Tomorrow a dark sun will rise

Languor

Old recording saving ! All is about the song ☀️
The tape state was a pity but I thought it  deserved to be remastered and published 😅🎈
Hope you enjoy it ✌️
