Jesus My Savior Fair

Jesus my savior fair
Jesus is always there every joy and care to share
Only he can set us free, forever free

Give The Children A Better Chance

Give the Children a better chance
Let them learn to sing and dance
Let them laugh and run to play
Dare to dream of a brighter day
Let them be forever free, forever free

Arbor Flower

Others may seek fortune and fame
But i shall not seek to claim
Fortune and fame
Rather i'll seek just a good name
Content i'll always be just to be me
Quite content to seldom roam
Far from hearth and home
There in quiet solitude
Passing the pleasant Peaceful hour
Just as the little arbor flower
Content to just blossom there beneath the shady bower

Still the Raging River

Still thy rising voice the angry vicious word of hate
That seal the innocent victims fate
Still thy hand of violence against thy neighbors head
That fills an innocent heart with fearfull dread
Still the raging river of wars bloodshed
Still all the senseless slaughter of the myriads of war dead
Rather rise thy eager voice
For blessed Peace rejoice
Set thy strong hand
To plowshare to scatter the seed of Peace in every land
Let Peace flow as a crystal clear river from shore to shore
Forever more, forevermore

Virtue

Virtue is the beginning of honor, the best friend to me
Virtue you set me free, virtue how I cherish thee

I Believe in Miracles

I believe in rainbows and golden sunbeams
i believe in hopes and dreams
i believe in that old fable always told of old
That at the rainbows end there's a pot of gold
i believe there's some place beyond the blue
Where the promise of Love and Peace is forever true
i believe in me and you
i believe in miracles, for i have known a few
i believe in me and you
i believe in miracles, for i have known a few
i believe in me and you
