Great, Tom! Vocal sounding really smooth with lots of nuance coming across.

I Believe In Love V3

With You For Eternity
© Andrew Dolphin 

Lord I know that I’m flawed
In so many different ways
It’s not that you’ve been ignored
For I long to earn your praise
Pour Your light into my soul
Raise me up so I can live
I pray I have what it takes to be 
With You for eternity.

Lord help me understand 
I am humbled by Your grace
I reach out for Your hand
Lead me to that righteous place
Pour Your light into my soul
Raise me up so I can live
I pray I have what it takes to be 
With You for eternity.
 
Lord I seek Your love to feel your grace
And to walk with You from here on in
I don’t know if I’m worthy Lord
I don’t know if I’m worthy Lord
Set me on that path to righteousness 

Lord I can wait for You
It will be in Your good time
Make me wise make me new
And share Your heart in mine
Pour Your light into my soul
Raise me up so I can live
I pray I have what it takes to be 
With You for eternity.
I pray I have what it takes to be 
With You for eternity.

With You For Eternity

What Do You Choose?

© Andrew Dolphin Jan 2024

V1
You can’t run and you can’t hide
Can’t hitch a freebie on this ride
There’ll always be a battle for you to fight
Torn between the wrong and the right

V2
Looking for that easy choice 
Too much fro-ing too much noise
Kicking your heals at each divisive turn
Grounded by those lessons never learnt

Chorus
Apathy will hurt you
Laziness will haunt you
If you don’t make a breakthrough
Passion will desert you 
Time to make a choice now 
Do you win or lose 
What do you choose

V3
Your couch is worn like comfort clothes
TV binging your favourite shows
Snacking on the crumbs of discipline
Bound up by those chains you’ve put you in

Chorus

Bridge
You know what’s right it’s clear to see
Don’t trade away your dignity
Or lose yourself in possibilities 
A numbing down of sensibilities

Chorus

What Do You Choose?

Big beautiful moon, how do you do? 
Always so good to look at you
Bathing the night in hues of blue
Big beautiful moon, here's looking at you

Big beautiful moon, big beautiful moon, big beautiful moon

You've got me feeling all right
Anything could happen tonight
To colour in the shade with light

Big beautiful moon, big beautiful moon, big beautiful moon

Do you remember the walks we took? 
The street lights flickered
The elm trees shook

Electricity in the air 
excites the atoms in my hair
Letting my head know that my heart 
is still there

Big beautiful moon, big beautiful moon, big beautiful moon

Big beautiful moon
Big beautiful moon
Big beautiful moon

I want to honor you to my friends I do
As I am drawing near to the end it's true
For you have chosen to walk with me
Always faithful as can be

For every flower, every wind
Every hour and every second
For all those things and for all of you
I'm so grateful that I knew

My friends, friends
How less a heart glows
Without your love
Friends, friends
I can't take you with me
But thank you

I am tired I must sleep
I am taking your kindness with me

Friends
How less a heart glows
Without your   love
Friends, friends
I can't take you with me
But thank you

That Flying Dream

That’s What I Would Do

Copyright Andrew Dolphin

V1
When I look
To the hands of time 
The finger points at me
I’m the one
Who has let them pass
While I’ve looked away
Choices writing a different script
To the one I sealed
Way back in my youth

Chorus
If I could turn those hands of time
To the script that’s on my mind
I would surely write a different play
That’s what I would do
That’s what I would do

V2
Could I be 
That other me 
That’s in my head
Creating scenes
And Re-writing
My own history
Make believe can put the gloss
On a humdrum life
The one i made myself

Chorus

Bridge
Wake me up before it’s too late
Wrong choices determine our fate 
Free me from the cage I have forged
Save me from the holes I have bored
