Healing Water

The Savior's love is the greatest gift we will ever know.

Healing Water

Crystal water, cool and clear,

Full of Spirit, yet calm on a summer’s morning

Glistens in the noon day sun.

 

When beheld, eyes stare in awe,

Words lose meaning, and lips stand still,

Calm overcomes the troubled mind.

 

Sweet water, like a mountain stream.

With one sip, guilt and pain fade away

As peace fills the void.

 

Beautiful water, that when partook,

Tastes like life eternal.

 

How I yearn for its soothing taste,

Its sweet savor on my lips.

 

Peaceful water, cool and clear.

Beautiful water, like a mountain stream.

Sweet water, that when partook,

Heals the wounded heart.

 

Crystal water, flows from loving hands.

My Spirit calm, mind clear on a Sunday morning,

My countenance glistens in the Savior’s love.

Pretty Girl

New song I wrote for a good friend. (Sorry the guitar sounds like crap, i'll record another one sometime.)

Pretty Girl

Pretty girl, with eyes that shine,

Why do tears fall on your skin so fine?

I know it’s hard when you’re on your own,

But you don’t have to do this alone.

Pretty girl, I see you smile wide

When your little boy lays by your side.

Life may not go exactly as you planned,

But I see hope when you are hand in hand.

Each day is but a stepping stone

Towards a place where your dreams are known.

God will gently light the path

With tender mercy and your child’s laugh.

It ain’t easy being on your own,

But God will make sure that you’re never alone.

Pretty girl, life may try your faith,

But God will bless you with love and strength.

Pretty girl, when your mind is set

You make it happen, on that I can bet.

I see your struggles and your dreams too,

And I can bet that they’ll all come true.

Pretty girl with a fight so strong,

Don’t you worry if it might take long.

You’ve got the strength and God has a plan;

Time will lead you to that perfect man.

And pretty girl, he will hold you tight,

And love till it’s all made right.

Time will dry the tears from your skin so fine

Pretty girl, how your eyes will shine.
