Without A Song DIGITAL MUSIC FILE Just because it's raining I will not stop walking Because I may have many miles to go And if I allow a little rain to get me down Just how much I would miss I'd never know The sun is never always shining brightly But behind the clouds I know it's always there Every day, no matter what may come and go my way I won't let a little rain make me despair Chorus: I can't imagine my world without music I can't imagine anything more wrong Except someone who never prays An empty soul who cannot praise I imagine that's a soul without a song Just because it's raining I will not stop singing It's with a song my heart always takes flight Gentle breezes, icy winds, light friends may Come and go, but as long as there's a song I'm alright |

Watching the CMAs last week, I was reminded once again of how much country music has veered off the authentic traditional course. It is far more like pop and rap these days. So, I guess you might say country music has gone up town…I liked it better when it was country. I've been categorizing some of my songs as country, but I won't be doing that any more. My songs don't sound anything like today's country and so from now on their just, "folk". I guess there were a few good songs recognized at the CMAs. For the most part, they all sounded and were performed very much alike. Cookie Cutter is what I saw and heard. Shania Twain presented the Entertainer of the Year award to Kenny Chesney. It saddens me to think of what these last several months have put her through. But she is still the epitome of grace and beauty….a real class act. But somehow, you could still see the pain. These two songs, "Without A Song" and "Out of the Wind" are nothing like I heard on the CMAs and that's why I am in North Wales, Pennsylvania and they are there in the big time. . "Out of the Wind" is a song all of the rurally raised people, especially women, will relate to in some way. And I was very happy when a recovering cancer patient friend of mine said she, "Basked in that song". Growing up in the country meant going bare foot in the good old summer time. No shoes needed except for church and when the weather and school in the fall made them an unwelcome necessity. Ahh, those were the days. But shoes would not have been a bad idea to wear in the barns where there were rusty nails. You will hear, in this song, how parents dealt with such accidents…redneck style. Now, I guess that would be considered politically incorrect if I wasn't one myself.
Out Of The Wind DIGITAL MUSIC FILE
Wrap up your neck and stay out of the wind It’s cold and can make your throat sore And I don’t want my baby girl to get sick Honey, that’s what your buttons are for
When I stepped on that old rusty nail in the barn Shoes were for school in the fall It’s a thousand and ten wonders we didn’t die With only iodine and alcohol
Wrap up your foot and stay out of the dirt Watch out for red streaks running north A sign an infection’s heading straight for your heart Honey, that’s what your bandage is for
Chorus: Buttons and bandages, small disadvantages Keeping me safe, well and warm Anything it would take, do or say for my sake She loved from the day I was born
When first puppy love broke my young heart in two I thought my world had ended for sure But it didn’t take too long to mend like she said Honey, that’s just what young hearts are for
They break and the mend and you’ll find there’s no end To this Ferris wheel ride you are on Up and down love makes the world go around Honey, now and long after we’re gone.
Now when the clouds of life pour out the rain Chances don’t knock at your door When it looks like the wind has deserted your sail Honey, that’s just what your faith is for
We bend and we break and we all get our share Of heart ache and sometimes even more If you’ve been short changed, life’s scale’s not the same Honey that’s what forgiveness is for
Wrap up your neck and stay out of the wind |

It seems every time you pick up the paper or hear the news there's a new scandalous infidelity. The number of divorces continues to rise, families are fractured and torn apart and innocent hearts are broken. In most of the cases with which I am familiar, it is usually a result of a great degree of selfishness on the part of the, "Leaver".
Heart Of Stone Digital Music File Heartache takes no holiday it's busy all year long Pain takes no vacation, its always going strong Everything you said you wanted you have now left far behind All we have are memories now scattered in our minds I tried so hard to understand just where did I go wrong But I can't blame myself because you wanted to be gone When you tasted freedom from responsibility The grass looked ten shades greener you decided to be free Chorus: Our love just didn't matter you determined you would go You built a new house 'round us then you left us on our own Now everything is tarnished that should have a shiny glow The house you left is wooden but you took a heart of stone I guess it's not that different from what happens every day And yes I know we all are made with unstable feet of clay But what became of keeping vows, staying strong and true I thought the last to let me down and break them would be you |

I previously posted about the fact that President Bush is a Born Again Christian. This has always constituted my basis for believing in the authenticity, honesty, and integrity of our president. Regardless of how much his enemies rail against him, on the good faith of the Reverend Billy Graham, who led him to Christ, and President Bush's claim, I believe he is truly a Born Again Christian. I've come to realize that anyone can sound like and say they are a Christian. However, God knows the genuine articles. Those basically good souls, who will often fall from grace, but who will always return to the fold, never fail to get back on track with the Lord. All will be determined some day in a personal Judgment. And speaking of God, Jesus and Judgment, I would like to take this opportunity to share an experience my father had shortly before his death in 1985. It is similar to a song found on one of my newly purchased CDs by the Sons of Song. One night, in a vision, Daddy said he saw Jesus. And, yes, I believe just that. He could hardly speak for crying in trying to describe the loving warmth he felt encountering Jesus and His indescribable beauty. There was not a dry eye in that hospital room as he related this experience. In Daddy's vision, he was walking down, "A wide road crowded with people running, rushing and crushing like cattle, headed for destruction". There was a division in the road up ahead with Some One sitting with a large Book in His hand. Daddy had no doubt the person sitting where the road split was Jesus. He was there judging the human race, looking for the names of those approaching. Scripture tells us that the instant a person accepts Christ as Savior their name is recorded in, "The Book of Life". When trying to describe Jesus' personage, Daddy could only burst into tears, saying there was no possible way to describe Him or His brightness and beauty. My father, always the most stoic person I'd ever known, was never given to tears. As Daddy came closer to the fork in the road and approached Him, he said Jesus looked upon him with compassion, put His arm around his shoulder and placed him on the right path. My father, Robert L Clark, was a man of few words and not one given to much emotion. However, I must say that his life was a sermon in so many ways. He honored truth and justice and had absolutely no tolerance for hypocrisy. I never once knew him to tell a falsehood or even garnish the truth….something that sometimes would embarrass my mother. If she occasionally got carried away and tended to get "colorful", when telling something, he would say, "Now, that's not the way it happened". She soon learned to tell it like it was. His employees and fellow workers in the earth moving business loved him dearly for his justice and good nature. And though he never expressed it vocally, I know he knew and loved his Lord. I am relating this now because, as I mentioned earlier, I received a Sons of Song music collection. One particular song in the collection, "Sorry, I Never Knew You" is also about a dream about the final Judgment. However, the dream in this song involves a more frightening element than in my Daddy's experience. The Sons of Song, a trio of voices, like you will never hear again, have touched the world with their music.

David And The Ark DIGITAL MUSIC FILE David was a man who loved the Lord And followed after him with all his heart And after Israel made David King, He said "We're going to bring back the ark" So he gathered all Israel together He assembled the children of Aaron and Levi Of the sons of Kohath, Merari and Gershom Elizaphan, Uzziel and Hebron
Then he called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests For Joel and Eliel the Levi fathers' chiefs For Uriel, Shemaiah, Amminadab and Asaiah "Go sanctify yourselves so we can bring the Ark" So David said, "Appoint your brethren to be the singers With instruments of music like the harp I've prepared a place and a brand new wagon Today we're bringing home the ark We'll bring it on a brand new cart" Chorus: There was the sound of the cymbal The trumpet and the timbrel* The psaltery and the harp It was a day of rejoicing They were lifting up their voices King David was dancing. They were bringing back the ark So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel And of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berachiah And Ethan the son of Kushaiah Of the sons of their brethren, Merari And with them their brethren of the second degree Zechariah Ben and Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab Benaiah Maaseiah, Matathiah, Elipheleh, Mikneiah Obededom and Jeiel So the singers Heman, Asaph and Ethan Were appointed to the sound of the cymbals of brass And Zechariah, Benaiah, Maaseiah and Eliab Aziel, Jeiel, Shemiramoth With their brethren Unni They were skilful and cunning With their psalteries on Alamoth And on the harps Mikneiah, Obededom Matathiah Elipheleh Azaziah, Jeiel And for the song Cheneniah But Elipheleh Berachiah Obededom and Jeiah were door keepers for the ark Chorus: Then the priests, Zechariah, Netheneel and Shebaniah Jehoshaphat, Benaiah, Amasai And Eliezer were the priests that blew the trumpet Before the ark of God So David and the elders and the captains over thousands Went to bring up the ark of the covenant of God Out of the house of Obededom where they'd left it 'Cause they feared when God struck Uzza 'Cause he took hold of the ark |
