LYRICS:

Verse 1:
It seemed alright at first
That I could ignore my inner thirst
And Take control of my life 
In spite of all the wrong inside,
But things were getting worse
I was entering into a Godless hearse
And trapped in my mistakes
Destruction was headed my way.

Hearing but not understanding 
I was seeing but not believing 
Oh, I was going down
But while I was falling You kept on calling
And without more time to waste 
I called out to Your name

Chorus
Then You stepped inside and took control
You humbled my pride and cleansed my soul
And though I'll lose this life forever more
It couldn't compare, No it could not compare
To the joy You bring and love we share
Making sweet memories as I draw near
And now that I'm Your own
Shake me up, Lord wake my love
And lead me home

Verse 2:
Now the mystery unfolds
How Your love can transform the inner soul
And take control of a life
That once despised Your light
But forgetting those sins of old
Lord reach out your hand for me to hold
And guide me in Your ways
For I am here to stay

Lead me from glory to glory
Faith to faith till my soul is holy
Please take me all the way
And though I'm Your's only still prone wandering
So should I lose my way
Please save me like the day

Chorus

Bridge:
Now that all of the time that I've wasted is gone
Set my face to the dawn, I'm ready for a new song
Forward to a fulfilled life

And I'm ready to be all You've called me to be
I'm not there but I'm coming, yes I'm coming
(Lord I'm comin, yes I'm comin)
Step by step, I'll be coming Lord

Final Chorus:
Won't You step inside and take control
humble all my pride and cleanse my soul
And though I'll lose this life forever more
It couldn't compare, No it could not compare
To the joy You bring and love we share
Making sweet memories as I draw near
And now that I'm Your own
Shake me up, Lord wake my love
And lead me home

Step Inside

Dottie Rambo's classic gospel song set to the folk tune of 'Oh Danny Boy'.

Verse 1
Amazing grace shall always be my song of praise,
for it was grace that brought my liberty;
I do not know just why He came to love me so,
He looked beyond my fault and saw my need.

Chorus
I shall forever lift mine eyes to Calvary,
to view the cross where Jesus died for me,
how marvelous the grace that caught my falling soul;
He looked beyond my fault and saw my need.

Verse 2
If not for grace, my soul would be a drifting ship
With no safe harbor from the angry waves
But Calvary's Cross shines brightest through the darkest storm
And just in time His mercy rescued me

He Looked Beyond My Faults

The Holy City

Teach Me Your Ways

Last year I was approached by a TV producer who heard me online. I was asked to very quickly submit a couple new audition recordings for a reality show program that aired on a major TV network last fall. I wasn't selected, but I thought the vocals I put on top of this fun Karaoke track made by Trakfish Music for the audition was worth sharing.
