If you've made it here in page order, you've taken in alot. Thank you.
 
The purpose of this last page will be threefold: to express some closing thoughts and impart some general information; to share some closing Scriptural "veritable verse"; to return to the music end of things, which as you'll recall, is just a beginning... We'll start with the latter.
Below you will find the track listing to my new debut cd along with complete song lyrics.
 

                           Entertaining Angels Unawares   
                                   The Songs
 
                                   Love is all there is
                               Love,  love is all there is.
                                Please understand this:
                                    Love is all there is.
                           Love is all there ever should be.
                              Love is all forever will be.
 
                           Don't worry me with worldliness,
                           I tell you truth all of this will pass.
                                   Don't let it get to you,
                                 Let it pass right through.
 
                                 Love, love is all there is.
                                   Please understand this:
                                      Love is all there is!
                            Love is all there ever should be.
                                 Love is all forever will be.
 
                     Don't concern yourself with material things,
                         But rather the song that nature sings.
                       The grief of the world can take it's toll.
                                 Please cultivate your soul.
 
                                   Love, love is all there is--
 
                              Remember to laugh in the rain,
                       Tears of joy for the beauty just the same.
 
                      The ways of the corrupt shall be exposed
                  When what's done in secret becomes disclosed.
                      Time's to change, time to make amends--
                       For in time we're all going to be friends.
                    
                                  Love, love is all there is.
                                   Please understand this:
                                      Love is all there is!
                              Love is all there ever should be.
                                 Love is all forever will be!
                                       Love is all there is
                                    Please understand this:
                                        Love is all there is!

                                Trip through Time
                                  Take a trip through time--
                                      Take a trip with me.
                                       On a ride we'll fly--
                                    On a trip through time.
     
                                      We all want a dream;
                                 A dream that opens a door.
                                 So why not look for the key?
                                  Pick yourself off the floor.
                                    ( No need to feel so low)
                      We can fly so high on a trip through time.
 
                Meet me out by where the rocks are stoney grey...
                 A sanctuary, hideaway, a path which few men take.
 
                                     Why stay in the dark?
                            ... Afraid of what you don't know.
                              When light is friendly and warm,
                               Let's take it in, let's overflow...
 
                      Meet me out in gardens people seldom go..
        ...By waterfalls where faeries dance, for children young and old!
 
                                  Take a trip through time--
                                       Take a trip with me.
                                      (on a ride we'll fly--)
                                        On a ride we'll fly--
                                     On a trip through time.
                                (Take a trip through time---)
                                  Take a trip through time--
                                      Take a trip with me.
                                     (On a ride we'll fly---)
                          On a ride we'll fly so high in the sky
                                    On a trip through time--
                                      Take a trip through,
                                            It's a trip to-
                                  Take a trip through time----

                         For the Love of God
                                You tell me to go,
                            leave the circles for you.
                        Where I am, you don't know,
                       And you don't see forever me.
 
                          But you are not my home-
                       In but not of the world I roam.
                         I see clearly where I stand.
 
                           I hear you but I don't care
                      Cause you couldn't take me there-
                              For the Love of God
                 keeps lifting my soul up out of the flames.
 
                I look to the past from which I've emerged;
                     Without God would have submerged
                                   But here I stand--
 
                        So you say what you will to me--
                               Here's love back at you;
                      (I) Forgive and I will shine out love--
  
                            This world is not my home,
                          In but not of the world I roam.
 
                              I hear you but I don't care
                        Cause you couldn't take me there-
                                  For the Love of God
                 keeps lifting my soul up out of your flames--
                                  For the Love of God!
 
                              World house is not a home-
                            In but not of the world I roam
                             I hear you but I--- don't care
                                      Take me there--
                    Where the Love of God keeps lifting me up
                                  from out of the flames.
                             Although you lie and scream-
                               To me it's a distant dream--
                   For the Love of God knows I can name you
                                  But I don't blame you...
                                       Take me there!
                                  For the Love of God--
                                      I don't blame you- 
                                         Forgive you.

                                Tomorrow Again
                          Tomorrow again,
                              Tomorrow again,
                                   Tomorrow, again don't say.
                                Tomorrow again,
                                    I'm losing a friend.
                                       Tomorrow again, don't say
 
                          Is there a piano without a bench?
                              An angel without their wings?
           Why am I one when as two it was such a great thing?
 
                                Tomorrow I'm losing a friend.
 
                              Here are the memories,
                                   here are your chickadees.
                               I  miss you so much;
                                  I miss your qualities.
                            I see the rest of them
                               Staring subtly, laughing behind me.
   
                                  I miss you so much, truly.
 
                           So much has lost it's meaning to me.
                           Since you've gone, little pleases me.
 
                                 I miss you so much, truly.
                                  I love you so much, truly.
 
                          Tomorrow won't even begin--
                             Till I see you here again--
                               Till Jesus comes back again!
                                   And we're all together again--
                                On earth as it is in heaven--
                             I won't be losing my best friend--
                           Then I'll love tomorrow again--
                             When I see you here again!
                         
                               Tomorrow I'll see you again.
                                Tomorrow I'll see you again.
                                  Tomorrow I'll see you again.
                                    Tomorrow again---

                             Angels from Heaven
                         God created a winged special race;
                       Heralds of heaven, singing his praise.
                                  Shepherds saw them,
                                 Thank God with them.
                     
                 There are angels coming from heaven,
                              Angels coming from heaven.
                             Mingle with us, see our pain,
                             Help us right on track again-
                     There are angels coming from heaven--
 
                   Some earn their wings, grandma would say;
                      And now she's up there flying all day---
                      
                             Angels coming from heaven--         
                                Cherubim and seraphim.
                                From God, from heaven-
                           Sent by Jesus, the King of men
                           And angels coming from heaven--
                       
                      There are angels coming from heaven,
                             Angels coming from heaven.
                             Like the jewels in the crown,
                                 Guardian angels abound.
                            Sent from God, Spirit of Love 
                   Christ the Lamb, Holy Spirit peace dove.
                   Praise God and the Son, want to be one--
                         The child inside who never died.
                     There are angels coming from heaven--

                                        Colors
                               What do colors, do colors mean?
                                     Something unseen to me.
                              I don't know why some people hate
                    Based on different shades of a painter's pallette.
                         Ignorant views, how can you be so blind?
                             It is cruelty of a most asinine kind.
                      I don't understand it, not how God planned it-
                      Hatred based on colors of a painter's pallette.
 
                                      Ostracize and alienate-
                      They thwart God's vision , propagating hate.
                             I don't see, and this cannot wait-
                             Is there anything here to debate?
 
                        Do colors have some hidden meaning?
                     Why do they make some people so mean?
                   I don't understand it, not how God planned it.
                       People are people, you're the bad seed-
                             Propagating hate is a bad deed.
                           It's a cruel game and an obsession--
                         You will learn a sad and bitter lesson.
 
                                People have favorite colors-
                      Eyes, color hair, favorite color underwear.
                           And I like black and you light blue,
                              She likes green and purple too,
                              but what's making you so cruel?
 
                           Where's the hatred stemming from,
                                And where's it leading to, oh,
                                What's making you so cruel?
                      They dazzle our world, they enrich our view-
                 Colors beautify, they're harmless to me and you.
                            It's a cruel game and an obsession.
                         You will learn a true and bitter lesson-
                             How you spoke that way so hard.
                        We're all one family in the eyes of God.  
 
                            What do colors, do colors mean?
                                  Something unseen to me.
                         I don't know why some people hate
                Based on different shades of a painter's pallette.
                     Ignorant views, how can you be so blind?
                      Is it cruely? Yes, of a most unkind kind.
             I don't understand it. I can't stand it. Change, love--
                                        God demands it!
                
                                Colors lovely surround me,
                        Every one of them beautiful around me.
                         Someday colors hated will hold a key--
                          Colors which were the object of hate
                       Will hold a key to open up heaven's gate---
                             And there, their treasures await...

                              The Pledge of Allegiance
    I pledge allegiance to the One, God, of all the nations of the world.
              Love to all my brothers and sisters, in Christ I stand,
                                     In one world under God.
                              Indivisible(in Christ we are one.)
                                   With liberty in Love for all.
                            I pledge allegiance to God, Amen.

                                        Psalm 148
                     Praise the Lord from the heavens above,
                         All His angels, all His heavenly host.
                      Praise him sun and moon, all you shining stars,
                           You highest heavens, above the skies.
            Let them praise the name of the Lord for He created.
                            He set them in place forever and ever.
                               His decree shall never pass away.
 
                  Let them praise the Lord!
                      For His name alone is exalted!
                            His splendor is above the earth,
                                    And heaven---
 
                     Praise the Lord from the earth,
                         Sea creatures and all you ocean depths.
                            Lightning and hail, snow and clouds,
                                Stormy winds which do His bidding!
                      Kings of the earth and all the nations,
                          Young men and maidens-
                            Mountains and hills, fruit trees and cedars,
                               Wild animals and flying birds---
 
                       Let them praise the Lord!
                          For His name alone is exalted!
                             His splendor is above the earth
                                And heaven---
                       Let them praise the Lord!
                          For His name alone is exalted----
                             His splendor is above the earth
                                And heaven-
                                  And heaven-
                                    above earth and heaven!
                                       -Psalm 148

                       For you, my friend
               My mouth is dry,
                   My tongue is tired,
                       Your ears haven't heard me
                            From my job I've been fired 
                                By you, by you my friend.
 
         I'm tired I'll be leaving
             I am tired of grieving
                 For causes lost
                      I can't count the cost.
 
          My heart sinks when I think of those people
               Who are so far away
                    Can I reach them today?
                         Those people, like you my friend
   
       Tired dream of leaving
          But know faith is believing
             Though many lost
                 I can't count the cost   
                     That's been paid for you my friend
                        Embrace Christ's Love to be embraced in the end.
 
          In the final hour
              When you feel the power
                   The truth I've spoken so many times, so many years
                         The words fell on deaf ears.
                               Deaf ears, like yours my friend.
 
          Though tired I am keeping, trying, save souls when dying,
                        Faith and perseverance!
     I won't give up on you, pray, in hope that you'll come through;
                        Pray in Christ!
           I won't give up on you, pray in faith God will come through!
                        Pray in hope that you'll come through
                            Pray in faith God comes through!
                                 For you, my friend
                                     Just seek,  knock and enter friend...
                                  Jesus died to shine a light for you my friend....

                                   Nowhere tonight
           Don't want to go anywhere, nowhere tonight    
  Just want to go out of sight, hide under the blanket of night.  
We're adults going out to play, but what have we done about this mess,
                            During our working day?
   Whoever I speak to tonight, if anyone, won't have too much to say.
                                   Nothing to say.
         I've been so many places and I've been there on my own.
              I've been so many places that I wish I'd never gone.
                Or known. No, I don't want to go, nowhere tonight.
              I've seen so many faces but so many seem the same-
            Acting out scripts, burying their conscience in the game.
                        Oh, I don't want to go anywhere, tonight.
         I've seen so much that I can't close my eyes and ignore it,
                 And going out another night to celebrate for it,
               To dance like an ass as if to say "Bring on more"
                    To say I approve of the materialism I abhor.
Maybe tomorrow I'll feel I've come a long way to better someone's day.
                     But right now I see so much sorrow 
              Lonely elderly, abused child and homeless.
                 A million and one goals although I've set--
                I haven't met, I haven't met, I haven't met.
          Just want to go nowhere tonight, I've seen the sight
                        I haven't done enough, not tonight
                               Angels sing me a lullaby
               The weight of the world, the thought of the dance--
                                   Time marches on.
                                       -Innerchild
         
     
                

                            Not so long
                                      So long
                               It's not goodbye
                         For I will see you again.
    
                               It's not so long
                               Till all are gone
                     From here around the bend.
 
                             A rainbow's bend
                          Where all are friends
                          I'll see you in heaven.
   
                             For now, goodbye.
                      It's not so long, so long now.
                        It's just so long for now.

Well, it is 12:30 am October 1st 2002 and I am almost finished with the groundwork of my first official website. I started thinking about a site earlier this year when a friend offered to do one for me(which may, in fact, be a third small site someday:). I say groundwork, for although I am pleased with this structure and format, there will be more added to the site in time.Some additions will include nature images and photos, more sacred clipart and symbols, and personal pictures(Baby and Christie are not seen here yet). I have stopped short of adding too many extras so as to conserve space. I am receiving this website for free and wouldn't want to go over my limit at this time.
Other additions will be possible updates or enhancements in all areas, new sections, mp3's, more links, and so forth.
At this time I want to thank you wholeheartedly for visiting my site and looking into the music; moreover, for viewing and considering the projected projects; finally and especially, for reading and absorbing the scriptual quotations. If you've never read a Bible, try buying the pocket-sized book of John. I think it's a great place to start. Pray to God for guidance. We know God through Christ, the Son of God. We obtain mercy from God by following Jesus teaching of mercy, forgiveness, all the attributes of love, to others. And loving God for who He is as exemplified through Christ...Love in Christ to all of you, a love which is free from all things unwholesome and unsavory, a love which is pure and all things good.
Trust in God.    :-|) Middlechild
