Open The Eyes Of My Heart
“Open The Eyes Of My Heart” by Paul Baloche. I’ve been listening about once a week to Michael W. Smith’s super “Worship” CD…and this tune is on that. If you know it…sing along with me in whatever way you may want to……. Open the eyes of my heart Lord I want to see You I […]
Solitude
Solitude-5/26/2002 Grant me a place that is far and yet near That can support the laughter, as well as the fear That can absorb the pain of terrorized rain That can fly a kite in the sky without pain Grant me a place fit for a king Wearing a beautiful signet ring But within this […]

Peace Like A River – The Story
PEACE LIKE A RIVER When peace like a river, attendeth my way; When sorrows like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul. It is well…with my soul… It is well, it is well, with my soul… Though Satan should buffet, though […]
