Songs I wrote with Loretta

OBEDIENT TO DEATH

In Eden’s darkest hour
When mankind first rebelled
God’s love compelled Him to create a plan
Only God’s great power 
Could storm the gates of hell
And rescue the imprisoned race of man
The plan required a Sacrifice
A pure and spotless perfect Life
Ultimate obedience to pay the utmost price


CHORUS:
Obedient to death, my Savior bled on Calvary
Obedient to death, with His last breath He pled for me
There was no limit to the price His love would pray
Obedient to death, He took my sins away

Though He walked the filthy roadways
Of human pain and sin
Not once did He give in to Satan’s lies
He knew there would be no way
That He could ever win 
My ransom if He chose to compromise
From Glory to Gethsemane
Not for His friends…for enemies
He wore the thorny crown of shame because of love for me


BRIDGE:	
The separating veil between God and man was rent
As Christ gave up His spirit…unto death obedient

A Little Bird Told Me So

DOWN TO EARTH

His Majesty, the Lord of Lords and King of Kings
Our great Creator seems to love more simple things
So without human praise, and in a manger birth
He laid aside His crown and He stepped down to earth

Our High Priest  is not one who fails to empathize
With simple people living complicated lives
He’s suffered every heartache of the ancient curse
He understands our pain, our God is down to earth

And because He loves us as we are and not as we should be
He conquered sin and death to give us victory

And now He sends out to comfort all who mourn
To bring His peace and justice to a world that’s torn
Wherever Love may lead us, He has been there first 
As we follow Him, we’ll bring mercy down to earth

Down To Earth

The night we met 
We talked til dawn
Amazed at where the hours had gone
And I’m still thrilled 
To hear you say
You love me when you call
But when you’re in my arms like this
You speak with fire in your kiss
And I find that I	                                  	
Have to reply	                                          
Without a word at all…cause…


CHORUS:	
Sometimes, some things are better left unsaid
Don’t make a sound
And I’ll lay you down
On this magic carpet bed
My lips, my touch
Will speak of love
In ways you won’t forget
Cause sometimes, some things are better left unsaid

So many things
I want to say 
But, Girl, you take my breath away
I can’t explain
I can’t contain
This love I have inside
So let your heart connect with mine
Feel the moment 
Taste the wine
Surrender to the silence
And let passion be our guide

Better Left Unsaid (Final)

Today she finally did it
She reached her limit
Bought a one way ticket
Straight to the coast
Leavin’ the pain behind her
Lookin’ for someplace kinder
Far from the bad reminders
That hurt the most

CHORUS (1)
	She'll find the power of tomorrow
	Yesterday's over
	Time to let go
	Destiny calls her to follow
	So that she will know
	The power of tomorrow

Blind trust can be so risky
When love is such a mystery
Each of us earns a hist’ry
We can’t exchange
But every day we're given
A chapter yet unwritten
Our future's new beginning
On a blank page

CHORUS (2)
	We'll find the power of tomorrow
	Yesterday's over
	Time to let it go
	Destiny calls us to follow
	So that we will know
	The power of tomorrow

BRIDGE:
	Everyone has regrets to face
	Memories that leave a bitter taste
	But we can't waste precious time
	Looking behind

REPEAT CHORUS (`1)

Power of Tomorrow

Down-home simple people
Honest to the heart
Their word is in their handshake
They finish what they start
They’re loyal to their country
And they’re not ashamed to say
That when the flag appears
Their eyes fill up with tears
Because they love the USA


CHORUS:	These are true Americans
		The soul of this great land
		With strength as their inheritance
		They pledge their hearts and hands
		To work for her and rise to her defense
		These are true Americans
		These are true Americans


Foods of many flavors
Speech of many tongues
Skin of many colors
United now as one
A legacy of contrast
A melting pot of dreams
And yet where freedom rings
The chorus joins to sing
So all the world can see….


BRIDGE:	Often called to sacrifice
		Sometimes called to give our lives
		Commitment can’t be compromised
		You can see it in our eyes

LAST 
CHORUS:	WE are true Americans…..etc.

True Americans

When Life Gives You Glitter

Vs. 1:
When life gives you lemons
You make lemonade
But sometimes you’re lucky
And have a good day
Like glitter is falling
From heaven on you
So here’s a reminder
Cuz you know what to do

CHORUS:
When Life gives you glitter
Just spead it around 
Especially on people who may feel down
Cuz glitter is magic  -- as magic can be
Someday I’ll need glitter
You can share yours with me

Vs.2
Everything’s better
Whenever you share
Glitter just sparkles
And shows that you care
It lights up dark places
So don’t be afraid
To share it – it’s sweeter than plain lemonade
