Merciful

My Kinda Wild
music & lyrics by Ken Veltz
Vocals & Instrumentation: Ken Veltz

I’ve had my share of flings with habanero peppers 
Truth is all I ever got was burned
Smokin’ hot is overrated if it can’t become forever 
And boring’s just a world that never turns

Didn't want a merry-go-round without a thrill
Or a cheap carny ride that could get me killed
I was over and dry when she came and flooded my life

(chorus)
She's every bit a lady
With a little shot of crazy
Just the perfect blend of spicy and mild
My baby's got... my kinda wild! 
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh My baby's got... my kinda wild!

She looks like a star in a gown on a ballroom dance floor.
But can ride the wind on a Harley down an old dirt road.
She enjoys a good cigar in a bar with a shot of tequila
And a sunrise filled with yoga, tea & scones

She's like a warm feather bed on a cold stormy night
If you mess with a kid she's a Pit Bull bite
She’s softer than a butterfly but tougher than a crocodile

(chorus)

(bridge)
You know what to expect when the lights go down
in the barroom pick up world
But there’s nothin’ like lovin’ when the one you’ve found
 is a “here forever” girl
(chorus)

My Kind Of Wild

All My Life
Music & lyrics by Ken Veltz
Lead vocal: Laura Veltz
Accompaniment: Cecilia the Band AKA The Veltz Family

All my life I wanna wanna be with you
All my life I wanna be with you
Day and night I want to feel 
The way I feel with you
Oh… I wanna wanna be with you

It's kind of like a child playing
It's kind of like a finger painting
It's feeling there's no need to stay within the lines
It's like a piece of butterscotch
It's like the world went down a notch
It's nothing turned to everything in perfect time

All my life I wanna wanna be with you
All my life I wanna be with you
Day and night I want to feel 
The way I feel with you
Oh… I wanna wanna be with you

It's putting down the masquerade
It's getting high on lemonade
It's feeling safe to say I haven't got a clue
It's complications simplified
It's never even wondering why
It's knowing I am me when I'm alone with you

All my life I wanna wanna be with you
All my life I wanna be with you
Day and night I want to feel 
The way I feel with you
Oh… I wanna wanna be with you

All My Life

Love Her Home
music & lyrics Ken Veltz (c) November 2016
Vocal & Instrumentation: Ken Veltz
Recorded on an iPhone in a noisy bedroom

LYRICS:
She fell in love, now she can't go home
Mom and dad, you don't condone
The choice she made that fell outside your plan
You chose your image over her
Chose rejection as a cure
Your friends agreed, it was time to take a stand

You'd think that you'd know better
Cause you say you've found the one
Who put a face on heaven’s heart for flesh and bone
Mercy wrote upon the sand
Tried to help us understand
You can quote the book and cast the first stone
Or open up a path and love her home

A silent room where she used to play
An empty house on Christmas Day
The bathroom's always free and so's the phone
You never thought it'd go this far
Tried to mend but broke her heart
You closed the cage but your little bird has flown

You'd think that you'd know better
Cause you say you've found the one
Who put a face on heaven’s heart for flesh and bone
Go back to the red letters for they demonstrate love
And a door that's always open no matter where we roam

Mercy wrote upon the sand
Tried to help us understand
You can quote the book and cast the first stone
Or consider all the times you've been wrong
And find a grateful heart for the kindness you've been shone 
And open up a path to love her home
Open up a path and love her home (2x)

LOVE HER HOME

UKRAINE - Lyrics below
music & lyrics by Ken Veltz
 
As I watched the personification of evil and suffering on the screen I dropped to my knees. My heart was filled with pain and passion but I lacked the means to do anything about it. At first, I despaired. Then I picked up my guitar and cried out these lyrics to God with a melody and three simple chords (G,C,D). I recorded it today. It’s called “Ukraine”. 

God hears and answers prayer in ways that confound human understanding. Especially when His people are united in songs of praise. (Please see II Chronicles 20:21-22.)  Imagine the power we could unleash if hundreds of churches added this song to their worship service this Sunday.  

I implore you to listen, sing along and above all please share it with everyone! 

Here’s an opportunity for us all to put “legs” on our words of love and do our part, in the Spirit, to put an end to the madness in Ukraine.  

If you don’t believe, God bless you.  But please, DO NOT post negative opinions. They will be deleted.

Halle Hallelujah
All Glory to Your Name
The world is longing for You
To walk the earth again
To walk the earth again

UKRAINE

Writing songs started for me when I was about 14 years old. Most of the songs presented here were written exclusively by me, others were co-writes. Some of the songs are studio produced, some are "live" and some are still in idea form recorded on an iPhone.  I will list production info, the appropriate credits along with lyrics in the days ahead.

My journey began troubled in an environment void of God, though I had unexplainable encounters with the divine throughout my earliest days. Those encounters led to a dramatic experience in New York City in 1971 that changed my life forever. 

Many of these songs grew out of that experience. The arrangements are dated but the lyrics and “touch” on them still channels the life and perspective of the Holy Spirit of Jesus who inspired me to write them.

For reasons far too complex to express here I left active participation in the “organization” of Christianity and many of these songs represent that turbulent season of departure.  

Some are rough, some lyrics are explicit expressed in the vernacular of the day. Some display anger associated with betrayal, church hypocrisy and the personal frustration of trying to attain righteousness which is unattainable by design.

Through the years all roads have led me back to Jesus and this latest season of writing is no exception. The newer songs represent a balance of heavenly life (we are seated there) and worldly involvement (we live here). We need both to be effective until we pass.

I have entered into my seventy first lap around the Sun.  I’ve learned I’m still learning to learn and other than my amazing wife, regardless of church affiliation, Jesus is and will always be the glue that holds me together. 

I turned seventy years young as of Sept. 2021. Who knows how much time is left for anyone after seventy. 

These songs are here for anyone who wants to hear or perform them. 

But they are especially here to represent part of my legacy for my grandchildren, their children and beyond.  Though I may not be able to show them who I am directly, web platforms like these will out live me and serve as a portal into the heart and mind of one of their ancestors. Hopefully it will positively shape who and what they become as I watch from above.

Thank you for listening!

There are hundreds of songs still yet to be posted and more to be written. Please check back often, like and share.

God bless your life,
Ken Veltz
