I stood inside an empty room
A silent bed and a chair.
A table and a darkened lamp
Was all that witnessed me there.
The pillows held the secrets
Of the softly uttered prayers,
And absorbed with love and tenderness
My silent, fallen tears.
*************************************

The trappings of it’s better days
Now fading away in the Sun.
Which has warmed it’s walls, with gentle rays
Sweet and soft the memories of love.
The spirit lingers quietly
As my memories reframe,
To most it’s just an empty room
But to me it’s not the same.


In the silence of the vacuum of
This lowly but perfect private place.
Brings to mind the times of happiness
Which time itself cannot erase.
That which went up from this chamber
Though now it seems, there’s nothing here,
Will be reserved, in Heavenly quarters
When rooms for time has disappeared.

Refrain:
There is nothing like the secret place 
Where soul and silence find.
Room to bow down low, a room to grow
A simple room for spending time.

A Room For Spending Time

Im standing on ocean of happiness 
I cannot baptize myself in 
As darkness descends 
I try to spread my wings 
Like a bat 
Scooping his neck back 
We call him night flyer 
Girl you are to me what a woman should be 
Time is a fragile flame 
As it crumbles in my hand 
And passes quickly to the ground
A new life is born 
The growth of time in memorial may be a new life hereafter 
I dedicate this song to that girl called joy
That I will never meet 
Even though I pray to the bottom of my heart that I will find joy I look into the mirror and only see sadness 
But slowly as the webs clear up arises the phoenix to rise again in richness and in triumph

Within The Good Book 
Music: Amanda

Within this good book, this good book of life,
Within it’s volumes , we see the Christ.
He is the word, in this good book, his life,
He lived the word, and He is Jesus Christ
Within this good book, we see the bread,
This type of the Christ, and by which we are fed.
We see the wine, in his blood which he poured,
Within this good book, Oh’ please tell me more!

Chorus:
___________________________________________

Within this good book, this book of the Christ,
Within it’s volumes,  we see his life.
He is the word, and he paid the price,
He was the only, true sacrifice. 
Within this good book, and within our heart.
His Word, his will, are inscribed and marked.
We see the Christ, the one we adore, 
Within this good book, Oh’ please tell me more!

Chorus:
___________________________________________

Within this good book, which is above price.
We see in the volumes, the pictures of Christ. 
He is the way, the truth and life.
We see in the good book, the new risen Christ.
Within this good book, my name can be!
If marks of Christ are found present in me.
Within this good book, in purest of form.
We see the Christ, Oh’ please tell me more! 


Chorus:
O’ Tell me,  of this God sent one
His perfect and spotless,  begotten Son
Tell of the Word, tell it to everyone
Within the book of the Word is God’s Son.
