Song for the writer
(Mark Irving Anderson)
 
...An empty page, a silent room
A melody just out of reach
A midnight hum, a pencil’s tomb
I chase the words that I can’t speak…
 
…Crumbled paper, scattered dreams
Every dream a leap of faith
Hope reflected in-between
A silent chord a silent wraith…
 
[Chorus]
…This songs for the writer
And the world where he belongs
Where every word will find its mark
Carved forever in his song
It’s for the writer
And the tales he needs to tell
Tracing long lost memories
And the places where they fell
This one’s for the writer…
 
…How does a feeling find its form
A verse begins, a chorus teases
How does thunder find a storm
Scrabble fragments, puzzle pieces…
 
…Will someone hear this wandering tune
Notes that stumble, words that flee
Born on a Sunday afternoon
Or is this tune just for me…
 
[Chorus]
…This one’s for the writer
And the world where he belongs
Where every word finds its mark
Carved forever in the song
This one’s for the writer
And the tales he needs to tell
Tracing long lost memories
And the places where they fell
This one’s for the writer…
 
[Bridge]
In the hush, I surrender
To whatever time remembers
I’m lost, I’m found, I’m right, I’m wrong
I’m a writer in a song…
 
[Chorus]
…This one’s for the writer
And the world where he belongs
Where every word finds its mark
Carved forever in his song
It’s for the writer
And the tales he needs to tell
Tracing long lost memories
And the places where they fell
This one’s for the writer
This one’s for the writer
This one’s for the writer
This one’s for the writer…

There Is Meal Within The Barrel

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.
