Promised Land

Mornings at the lake
Where the turtles bask
And the heron fly
Laughing, singing in the car
Oh, you could never harmonize
And the things that seem most special
Are the things we’d never planned

    The Promised Land

    Music & Lyrics by Lew Doty

    Sun peaks through my window
    Morning greets the walls and floor
    My eyes barely open
    I smile as I hear my lover snore
    And I gaze upon the bureau
    Where the pictures of our children's children stand
    God has kept the promise
    As we wander through
    This promised land

    Mornings at the lake
    Where the turtles bask
    And the heron fly
    Laughing, singing in the car
    Oh, you could never harmonize
    And the things that seem most special
    Are the things we'd never planned
    God has kept the promise
    As we wander through
    This promised land

    We had made a promise
    Until death do us part
    Oh, but this love lasts forever
    Forever I will love you
    Body, mind and heart

    And the things that seem most special
    Are the things we'd never planned
    God has kept the promise
    As we wander through
    This promised land

He’s Got The Whole World In His Hand

“He’s got you and me right in His hand,
He’s got you and me right in His hand,
He’s got everybody in His hand,
He’s got the whole world in His hand,
He’s got the whole world in His hand.”

    HE’S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HAND

    Lyrics: Traditional American Spiritual
    Arrangement: Margaret Bonds

    He’s got the whole world in His hand,
    He’s got the whole world in His hand,
    He’s got the whole world in His hand,
    He’s got the whole world in His hand.

    He’s got the woods and the waters in His hand,
    He’s got the woods and the waters in His hand,
    He’s got the sun and the moon right in His hand,
    He’s got the whole world in His hand.

    He’s got the birds and the bees tight in His hand,
    He’s got the birds and the bees right in His hand,
    He’s got the beasts of the field right in His hand,
    He’s got the whole world in His hand.

    He’s got you and me right in His hand,
    He’s got you and me right in His hand,
    He’s got everybody in His hand,
    He’s got the whole world in His hand,
    He’s got the whole world in His hand.

FOR THE BREATH THAT RISES

    GRATEFUL

    MUSIC AND LYRICS
    BY
    PETER LINK

    I WAKE UP EVERY MORNING
    AND I AM GRATEFUL
    I'M ALIVE
    AND EVERY TIME I COUNT MY BLESSINGS
    I REALIZE THAT I AM HERE WITH YOU

    AND WHEN EACH NIGHT
    I TURN THE LIGHT DOWN
    AND THANK YOU FOR MY LIFE
    SOMETIMES IT IS THE ONLY WAY
    I KNOW HOW TO PRAY
    I'M GRATEFUL FOR THIS DAY

    AND WHEN I DON'T REMEMBER
    TO GIVE IT UP AND THANK YOU LORD
    I LOSE A LITTLE LIFE PERSPECTIVE
    AND DRIFT AROUND
    TILL SENSE HAS BEEN RESTORED

    AND WHEN THE SLINGS AND ARROWS
    OF GREAT MISFORTUNE COME MY WAY
    I TRY TO STOP AND COUNT MY BLESSINGS
    AND JUST BE GRATEFUL
    GRATEFUL EVERY DAY

    FOR A HEART THAT BEATS
    FOR THE BREATH THAT RISES
    FOR A CHILD THAT SLEEPS
    IN HIS MOTHER'S ARMS
    FOR THE LOVE OF LIFE
    GRATEFUL FOR THE WAY MY LIFE HAS TURNED
    THANKFUL FOR THE LITTLE THINGS I'VE LEARNED
    GRATEFUL FOR THE WISDOM OF THE WISE

    I WAKE UP EVERY MORNING
    AND I AM GRATEFUL
    I'M ALIVE
    AND EVERY TIME I COUNT MY BLESSINGS
    I REALIZE THAT I AM HERE WITH YOU

    AND WHEN THE SLINGS AND ARROWS
    OF GREAT MISFORTUNE COME MY WAY
    I TRY TO STOP AND COUNT MY BLESSINGS
    AND JUST BE GRATEFUL
    GRATEFUL EVERY DAY

What Could Have Been

When I am gone and brood upon
What few men comprehend
I’ll question then what could have been
And just why it had to end

    What Could Have Been
    Music and Lyrics by Peter Link

    I'll always miss what could have been
    And all the things that might have been
    When I am gone from here
    If looking back upon this life
    Is possible beyond this life
    The one thing that I fear
    Is missing you
    And missing us
    And all the joys gone up in smoke
    Yes the one thing that I fear
    Is missing all the years ahead

    And all the things that could have been
    When things come to an end

    I've no regrets of days gone by
    I've let live the life I've led
    My one regret is missing you
    And the things that lie ahead
    Another night sleeping next to you
    Your crooked smile and yes your tears
    The primitive and complex of you
    The cavity and convex of you
    I've loved so all these years

    When I am gone and brood upon
    What few men comprehend
    I'll question then what could have been
    And just why it had to end

A Grateful Heart

“Our prayer is for one gift alone
Of all things grand or small:
The bounty of a grateful heart
That loves and blesses all”

  • Lyrics:

    A Grateful Heart

    Words adapted by Mindy Jostyn & Jacob Brackman
    Based on a poem by Ethel Wasgatt Dennis
    Music: traditional Irish melody

    A grateful heart a garden is
    Where there is always room
    For every seed of innocence
    To come to perfect bloom

    A grateful heart a fortress is
    A steady rugged tower
    And all who dwell therein draw strength
    From God's almighty power

    A grateful heart a temple is
    A shrine so pure and white
    Where angels guide us all day long
    And watch us through the night

    Our prayer is for one gift alone
    Of all things grand or small:
    The bounty of a grateful heart
    That loves and blesses all

In Silence

“But I am here for you
I will see you through

And if you weep then I will weep with you
And if you mourn then I will mourn with you

And if you die then I will live for you”

  • Lyrics:

    In Silence
    Music and Lyrics by Peter Link

    When one you love disappears
    Like smoke they blow away
    The heartbeat rings in your ears
    In silence
    In silence

    You lose your place with it all
    And life goes hollow
    You turn your face to the wall
    In silence
    In silence

    But I am here for you
    I will see you through

    And if you weep then I will weep with you
    And if you mourn then I will mourn with you
    And if you die then I will live for you
    In silence
    In silence

    [Interlude]

    The bells they toll on the wind
    They sing of sadness
    The mending soul must begin
    In silence
    Begin in silence

    And as you bear your pain
    Your loss will be your gain

    But if you brood then I will brood with you
    And if you grieve then I will grieve with you
    And if you break then I'll be there for you
    In silence
    In silence

    We will weep
    In silence
    We will mourn
    In silence
    We'll remember in silence

    We will heal
    In silence
    We will mend
    In silence
    We'll go on in silence

    We will love
    In silence
    We endure
    In silence
    And we carry on...

    Psalm
    Music by Peter Link
    Lyrics by King David

    How Precious are your thoughts oh God
    How great is the sum of them how grand
    If I could count them all oh God
    They are more in number than the sand

    Whither shall I go from thy spirit
    Or whither shall I flee from thy care
    If I ascend up into heaven
    You are there
    You are there
    And if I make my bed with the devil
    Behold
    You are there
    In the halls of heaven
    You are there
    Watching over me

    If I take the wings of the morning
    And I dwell
    In the uttermost parts of the sea
    Even there your left hand shall lead me
    And your right shall always hold to me
    For you are there
    You are there
    On the wings of morning
    You are there
    Always holding me

    If I say surely the darkness
    Shall cover me
    Even the night shall light my way
    Yea the darkness cannot hide from thee
    But with you the night shines as the day
    And I will praise thee
    For I am fearfully and wonderfully made
    Yes I will praise thee
    For I am fearfully and wonderfully made

    How marvelous are thy works oh God
    And that my soul knows right well

    How precious are your thoughts oh God
    How great is the sum of them how grand
    If I could count them all oh God
    They are more in number than the sand
    They are more in number than the sand
    They are more in number than the sand
    They are more in number than the sand
    They are more in number than the sand
    They are more in number than the sand
