| Window to Forever Gazing through a window to forever Hoping this is never going to end Searching for the self in every twinkle Catching glimpses, heart begins to mend Oh, deep blue sea Eyes gaze back at me Falling helplessly in love Into the world they fall Fresh from who knows where The greatest gift of all, a baby's care It brings you there Given power to move the world around him Bringing change to anyone in view Stops the world and anyone who's in it Gives a name to vision pure and true Oh, deep blue sea Eyes look back at me Falling helplessly in love -C 1999 Ralph E. Thumas |
| My Three Sons My three sons You always make me smile So when the day is done\ You know I'll walk that other mile Nate brings the song That makes the ladies cry When his heart is long Lost within a sigh He sings out til it's done Lives another day You'll find your way You make me smile John brings the joy Awakening the day Creates another toy And finds a way to play Makes me wrestle down Until it's time for bed You rest your head You make me smile Jeff brings the wonder It's bound to make you free We Struggle with ourselves Until we find the seed I'll carry on And do what must be done My new born son You make me smile -C 1999 Ralph E. Thumas |
| Song for Linda You came, you saw, you conquered Every heart in sight And now you have us happy I know it really wasn't right All the pain you've had And still you have us happy Ain't it funny how it goes The twists and turns at every road I only hope that heaven knows How we love, how we love For love is all there is to surely save us Now it comes to where we are We've traveled near and far To get to where we're standing One thing surely that I know The love we have will grow And you will have it always His love's all there is Love is all there is -C 1999 Ralph E. Thumas |
| Your Message Is Your Life I'm so very good at accumulation Somehow I forgot The message, message I'm here to deliver Hope I remember what it is and what it's not Is your message love or something else You thought you'd find along the way Your message is your life So sing it day to day There's so many people who are hungering Seeking joy in things which crumble into broken dreams Finding only disillusionment to be The shadow of a light that once was me Must awaken healing generation Lives devoted to the healing of us all Finding joy in giving, giving of our lives Healing communities, the waters and the skies -C 1999 Ralph E. Thumas |
| Clarity You and I, we know what love is for But silly things I want can bar the door And still in moments sacred, growing longer The light that shows the way keeps getting stronger Oh, feeling as I do I feel such love for You I see Your clarity coming through Clarity, ah clarity It's been a long hard ride the road we've traveled The gnarled knots we've weaved to be unraveled Awakening, the sleepers greatest longing For wisdom, strength and peace to you belonging A secret in my heart was always hidden Running from the love that's who I am As if there's something else to make us happy There's you and I, the mystery and the plan -C 1999 Ralph E. Thumas |
| Chelsea Looking out upon the world A wonder that I see The beauty of creation Looking back at me I want to know your everything I want to touch your soul The vehicle gets in the way For reasons I don't know And she waits in a secret place Way beyond, there's no time or space And she's waiting there for you Chelsea you're the one I can feel your pain I also feel your love light shine Pouring down like rain I think I can break on through "I feel the power" she cried A twinkling within the eye We're on the other side The eternal moment Beauty all around I wonder at the way things are The love that we have found -C 1999 Ralph E. Thumas |
| Black Hole Well, they say in the twinkling of an eye we turn around But, who says who or how or why or who gets by How much light does it take to fill a black hole How much love can we give to save a lost soul Pouring out of the sun The beams are shining a million to one How much light does it take to fill a black hole Well, I'm wondering lately about the love you gave here I hope I spend it wise and well, yes I do But now I see a bright sun rising over us Chasing darkeness round and round the wishing well Does it put us out too much To find a way to give Or is it only giving that shows us The way to live Such a task, spinning gold from a straw bale Still we're singing out of the sun, yes we are Chasing after a loaf too stale to fill that easy craving But everyone's got to crawl before they run -C 1999 Ralph E. Thumas |
| Here I Am I used to look inside myself Asking no one else for help And found that every breath I took Gave reason to be dying Fear that someone else could see Who I was ashamed to be Drove me to a place where I Could no longer hide I can no longer hide Now I share one common bond Feelings of where I came from Fears I thought to be unique People here are owning So, I'm grateful for my fears They are what have led me here Hiding from the truth no more Thank God, I'm not alone No, we are not alone Here I am. Here you are. Here we stand locked arm in arm Life alone is not God's plan Here you are and here I am -C 1999 David Evans |
| Turtle So often my skin crawls across the floor like a snake I forsake and try to fake some more Then my mind gets wrapped around me Lest I suffocate or drown or my intentions get the best I'd better lower my defenses Tell me who Can you help me now? I need to soften my shell So often I feel I'm going nowhere fast. I feel the breeze Can't you see me peeking through these cracks? Even time moves on without me I've got to ditch this dirty doubt. I'm cleaning house Who can I trust to show me how? Slowly, slowly but surely I come to believe Slowly, the seed feels the urge from inside and so Slowly but surely, it reaches. I am that seed. Seeking and searching for peace in me Slowly, slowly, slowly but surely, slowly, I come to believe One drop of water on a stubborn rock won't sink in It evaporates or rolls right off But giving time and much persistence I might give up my resistance. I'm not a rock A lot of me is wearing thin -C 1999 David Evans |
| Bug's Ditty Woke up this morning, no more color blue Good God Almighty! Tell me what did I ever do To deserve this love, your sweet, sweet love I'm on my knees, I thank the Lord above For your love, this sweet sweet love -C 1999 Joe Ford |
| Tonight Tonight I have learned I have need Knife to my skin, watch me bleed Like a man, I'm not a stone Tonight I have learned I can feel Lord, please tell me it's real Tell me I am not alone Not alone No, love it never dies It's kept alive upon the sea of change Tonight I have learned I can cry For all the million reasons why I am on my knees again Tonight I relive all the pain Though it's surely not the same For the letting go begins To never end Tonight I have learned I love you My love runs deep, my love burns true It burns until the end of time Until the end of the numbers My love light shines and shines -C 1999 Joe Ford |
| Until the End of Time If I said I love you, would you run Would you hide from me I'm about to play that fool If you were water colors, I a canvas What painting would there be I feel just like a boy way back in school I can't climb no mountains I can't swim any seas for you I'm not the man I used to be And I can't fight your battle, I can't save you Can't save anyone You'll win this war upon your knees Now you've gotten word from your Maker Time to find a faith you know will heal I'll be by your side, you be the taker Of all the love that burns so deep inside of me It's yours for free I can't climb no mountains I can't swim any seas for you But I can hold you when you cry And I can't fight this battle, I can't save you Can't save anyone But you can hold my heart until the end of time I can see us hand in hand Walking through the Master's plan Hand in hand until the end of time I can see us face to face Making love in God's sweet grace Love is all we need until the end of time -C 1999 Joe Ford |

| We wish to give credit to the One with ALL power...and that One is the Loving God. Although the three of us penned these songs, we are but empty vessels filled by the love, grace & mercy of the Lord. We thank God from the depths of our beings for allowing us to be His servants and for helping us to stay out of our own way. We are truly blessed! |
