BELL TOLLS…
It's said a journey of a thousand miles
Just starts with a single step
Give the world your brightest smiles
Knowing inside you've only wept
Does the world end with a whimper or a bang
Don't know whom the bell tolls, only that it... – by Barry Green Jr | 1 View added 1 month ago

BELIEVE
I heard it said that we're wrong
Faith, in reality, just don't belong
God is a dream they say to me
Heaven is a hope that we'll never see
But I believe,in the Cross on Calvary
I believe, that Jesus died for you and me

BEFORE YOUR ALTAR
I stood before Your altar
My enemies all surround
I feel my will start to falter
But before You I will bow down
My heart is shattered, pierced
Broken by the arrows aimed true
I am destroyed, by enemies fierce
Yet what... – by Barry Green Jr | 4 Views added 1 month ago

BEFORE MY LORD'S HAND
Where does the good man stand
When trapped in the enemy's land
When lost are my gains
Under the weight of chains
Lost in my pains?
Can I stand straight in the wind
That tears my world apart again

BEFORE I KNOW IT
Whisper of a tomorrow, I fear to see
Dance the dance and fly away with me
What we are, what we may be meant to be
Is all in the tomorrow I'm afraid to see
For I danced in the fire, and I got burned

BE SILENT
Be silent, don't say a word,
They don't give a flip what ya heard
Accept their way, or be a hater
Bow before sin, now or later
They call darkness light
They cry it's their right

BATTLE IN THE LAND OF LIBERTY
A soldier follows masters to war
In a fog not felt before
Fiery trial, death of life and love
Birth of hate and death, pain is made of
Fire burns to an ash noble stands
Bitterness tears Liberty's Lands

BALANCE
You've taught me to keep balance
High on top that brick wall
Seemed every wind was a chance
That I could start to fall
Dad right now, I feel like I'm
Falling to that ground
We're running out of time
Soon you'll not be around

There's no hope the doctors say

AS HE HAS LOVED THE CHURCH
Sometimes I just don't know
Where we're gonna go
You can make it so hard to love you
So I asked the Lord, what should I do?
And the Lord said unto me,

And love her she's glad

AMERICAN RHAPSODY: RING OF FREEDOM

The last eagle died,they say
