4:34a	Song: Who is this One? Who is this one? c. Ray Phoenix Who is this one, who understands A thousand tongues, in a thousand lands Who hears all music, as one great chord He is my Lord, He is my Lord Who is this one, who knows my heart Who makes the shadows, all depart Who from my sin and shame, my life restored Oh, thank you, Lord, oh, thank you, Lord! Please let Him in, and know His love He's calling you, from above He'll heal your soul, He saves from sin Oh, let Him in, please, let Him in. ----------------------------- We feel pretty good when we can get two or three melodies to work together. I got to thinking about how God hears all the praises of His people, from the smallest child to the most accomplished musician, from the solitary singer to the greatest of choirs, and how He can listen to it all at once, and how it must harmonize in His ears. What hearing! Current Mood: reverent Current Music: Who is this one? (Comment on this)
5:29a	Song: When you know (that Jesus loves you) When You Know (that Jesus loves you) c. Ray Phoenix When you know that Jesus loves you, you can make it when nobody calls When you know He's watching out above you, you can make it when everything falls When you feel His loving arms about you, you can make it to the journey's end You can make it, through anything, when Jesus is your friend When your head and your heart are aching, and you think you can't even try When somebody went out of their way to tell you they don't love you anymore, and it makes you want to cry Reach your hand out for the savior, you know He's reaching out for you And take another step with Jesus, you know He'll see you through. When you know that Jesus loves you, you can make it when nobody calls When you know He's watching out above you, you can make it when everything falls When you feel His loving arms about you, you can make it to the journey's end You can make it, through everything, when Jesus is your friend You can make it, through everything, when Jesus is your friend ----------------------------------------------- This song was used as the theme song on a Vida Nueva weekend in New York some years back. Vida Nueva is the Protestant expression of the Cursillo movement, and the weekend experience is designed expressly for teens. I was very pleased to have this song chosen for the weekend.

8:24a	Song: Father, Forgive Us Father, Forgive Us c. Ray Phoenix When I open up the Bible, and read how Jesus died And understand the way that He was cruelly crucified Then I wonder how He found the strength, the grace to see it through And still say, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." "Father, forgive them, for they do not know the way they hurt each other, Father, forgive them, they don't understand that all men can be brothers Father, I'm praying, as I'm coming home to you, I'm praying, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do" There are those who have hurt me, who have treated me unkind Some have hurt my body, Lord, and some have hurt my mind I've tried to get even, but I found I was hurting you Now I pray, "Father, forgive me, for I know not what I do" Father, forgive me, for the way I've hurt your Son Father, forgive me, for the hate I've borne toward any one Father, I'm praying, as I'm coming home to you I'm praying, "Father, forgive me, and show me what to do" ------------------------------------------------------- I'd like to change the words a bit here and there. I'm not quite happy with it as it stands. I do like the tune, however. Any suggestions for lyric changes? Current Mood: thoughtful Current Music: Father, Forgive Us (Them and Me) (2 Comments | Comment on this)
