Thanks God

Verse 1
Well he starts the day at sunrise
cause there ain't no other way
wakin' up before the world begins
just to turn for another day
That's the way his father worked
and his father before him
passin' on the things that you need to know
just to grow into a man
Just workin' on the land

Chorus
We're just waitin' for the sunrise
and sittin' in the dark
Singing all about the days we lived
while lookin' to the stars
And with the day we grow a little bit
from what we were before
So he gets down on his knees
and he prays to god for just one more
And the rain begins to pour

Verse 2
And the minutes last for hours
when the time turned back then
and the days turned into years
that we can never see again
But it doesn't really matter
cause the world goes on to spin
and the planets and the stars
will all still be there in the end
so let me say again

Chorus x2

V3.01

Just One More

Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus, we shall always be with the Lord. 1Thessalonians 4:17
Verse 1
Gone without a trace
 millions disappear
Confusion elevates 
How will they explain
Tag
Soon, we will be called
Far away from here
Chorus
Caught up in the sky 
Before their eyes
Hear the trumpet sound
In Christ, we rise
Verse 2
Are you trusting Christ?
Don't get left behind
Sin will twist the mind
Running out of time
Tag
Soon, we will be called
Far away from here
Chorus
Caught up in the sky
Before their eyes
Hear the trumpet sound
In Christ, we rise
Bridge
Don't believe their lies
They'll try and steal your soul
Come with me and follow Christ
Chorus
Caught up in the sky
Before their eyes
Hear the trumpet sound 
In Christ, we rise

Caught Up

A litte song about Flannery O'Connor, American novelist and short story writer who died in 1964
age 39 from Lupus, with the last 10 years of her life becoming increasingly incapacitated by her illness  
.. despite her suffering she continued her craft at the highest level..
There was a movie recently released called Wildcat about her and Ms O'Connor was portrayed by Maya Hawke
I have not seen the film but I took the sound clips in the song from the trailer....don't tell.....

Hey Flannery

Hey Flannery, gone undercover 
Biding your time, country livin’ with your mother 
In that little room, there's a place for the lame and the blind  
Takes a life to discover a good man is hard to find      

Hey Flannery, limping to salvation           
Body betrayed, you write your revelation 
In that little world, you've found a place for the damned and the divine                           
Takes a lifetime to discover a good man is hard to find   

Create him                                       
Erase him                                             
Lover or Liar, he wanders the land     
Embrace him                                            
Forsake him                             
Up on the cross, they don't understand   
The path to grace, a gunshot through the pines  
It's killing time                                   

Hey Flannery, this world is turning   
Books they be banning and forests they be burning 
Your typewriter sings the musings of your mind      
Takes a lifetime to discover a good man is hard to find   

Preach or plead                                      
We've lost our way                                   
Gone off the road                                  
This sunny day                                        
There's a meanness in the world             
Where dark meets light                             
Although we try to run from it                    
It's two steps faster when we slip          
Our fall from grace, the bodies left behind

                        
Hey Flannery, your sisters and your brothers  
Marching up to heaven after hurting one another 
The road to redemption around your little heart it winds  
Takes a lifetime to discover a good man is hard to find 
Takes a life to discover a good man is hard to find
Takes a life to discover that a good man is hard to find








A Good Man Is Hard To Find (Hey Flannery)

Jar Of Jarre 12

This is an old song written around 2001 when I was a very unhappy bachelor! It was 3 years before I met the love of my life and I guess I was a victim of love!  I was trying to write a Pop Punk Rock song, similar to The Cars of the 80's & 90's. I think I failed, what else is new!! 😣 This was recorded on an old TASCAM 8-track recorder and it sounds very tinny and not very well mixed. I was going to re-record it now with my new equipment but I'm just too behind in other projects to record everything over again, so what you hear, is what you get! Written and recorded around the same time as "Beautiful Blonde" and "That's Between Me and You", as a matter of fact I found this one while I was doing the video for "Beautiful Blonde". Everything is me on this one, including vocals (please forgive) but in a weird quirky way, I kind of like it, it could be a hit, if it was recorded and sung properly. I edited it down a bit, took off about 1 minute and added some new audio special effects here and there. This song is totally about nothing and made up in the studio. Just a guy telling himself he's NOT a victim of love when in fact he very much IS a victim of love! The irony is delicious!😂 

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/pbe_jm38lfw

The video is brand new, I just finished it last month and it's better than the song itself, in my opinion! There are some comic bits in the video since it's a very light hearted song. Thanks for listening & watching and I hope everyone likes it!🙏 Here's a Love Test for you! Just repeat "I'm not a victim of love" 3 times quickly and tap your heels together and if nothing happens you're a victim of love!👍😎✌🏼

“VICTIM OF LOVE”

I WON’T STOP YOU,  
WALK YOUR PRETTY-SELF OUT THAT DOOR,     
IF THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY,   
YOU CAN’T HURT ME ANYMORE,
          
YOUR TEARS WON’T AFFECT ME, 
YOU WON’T BREAK MY HEART AGAIN,     
SO LEAVE IF YOU WANT TO,    
BUT THERE’S NO COMING BACK MY FRIEND,
     
I’LL STAND MY GROUND,        
NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT WEARS ME DOWN,       
YOU WON’T GET THE BEST OF ME, 
B-B-BABY,          
I’LL BE AROUND,        
YOU CAN DISAPPEAR WITHOUT A SOUND,      
I’M IMMUNE TO YOUR VELVET GLOVE,        
AND I’M NOT A VICTIM OF LOVE,  

DON’T WASTE MY TIME,   
IF YOU DON’T LOVE ME THEN SAY GOODBYE,   
EITHER WAY, I’M OKAY,    
BUT YOU WON’T FOOL ME WITH YOUR LIES,
                                                           
DON’T EXPECT ME,               
TO BREAKDOWN BECAUSE YOU’RE GONE,   
DO WHAT YOU FEEL IS RIGHT,     
BUT YOU’LL REGRET IT IF YOU’RE WRONG, 

I’LL STAND MY GROUND,         
NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT WEARS ME DOWN,        
YOU WON’T GET THE BEST OF ME, 
B-B-BABY,        
I’LL BE AROUND,        
YOU CAN DISAPPEAR WITHOUT A SOUND,        
I’M IMMUNE TO YOUR VELVET GLOVE,         
AND I’M NOT A VICTIM OF LOVE,         
I'M NOT A VICTIM OF LOVE,        
I'M NOT A VICTIM OF LOVE,        
I'M NOT A VICTIM OF LOVE!
