A Mother's Song
by Randy Thompson

I remember
All the tears she shed
In a room so full of sorrow
Knowing it was true
But just not wanting to believe
Wishing it was just a dream
And wanting to wake up

And a mother,
With a heart so full Of the pain of wanting
To hold her little child
And wipe away all of the pain
Knowing it was all in vain
Death seems so final

Oh, I remember very well
The story only a mother's love can tell
How she cried in agony
Saying, "God, please let it be me.
I'd give my life for hers right now.
God, I know You can
Give her life back again.
God, You can do anything"

And the memories
Haunted every room her thoughts could wander
Seeking to ease the pain of wanting
To see her face once more
But death had closed the door
It seemed so empty

But what this veil of flesh conceals
Only the power of faith reveals
Though it seems to us it's done
For You, Lord, it's just begun
Through eyes of faith You let us see
And God I know You can
Give us all Life again
God, You can do anything

I remember

A True Lover Would
by Randy Thompson

It's a crystal clear morning a warm summer's night
A storm approaching a blinding light
Taken for granted, we're always surprised
That it robs us of sight as it opens our eyes
When we come face to face it strips us bare
Left naked and bleeding, revealing what's there
Cutting straight to the heart it heals the wound
That only a true lover could

Some own it outright and some by default
Some fools we pursue it until they're caught
Some hold it tightly afraid letting go
Will mean never having so little do they know
It alone has the power to set them free
Though we long to be it's captives eternally
Demanding our answer it holds out the choice
As only a true lover would

It witnessed the moment we took our first breath
It comforts and tortures us 'till our death
When least expected it comes like a thief
Shattering our defenses, demanding belief
We would give everything of our earthly domain
For the moment of joy we'd embrace the pain
All for the promise of sweet release
As all true lovers would

It comes dressed in passion it's favorite disguise
Sometimes exalted and sometimes despised
The words that it whispers would drive men insane
Then it stands on the rooftops and proudly proclaims
That it's there for the asking to all who believe
Though it takes it's flesh before it's received
It always gives more than it ever demands
As only a true lover would

Promising heaven the road led through Hell
And there for a moment it faltered and fell
Almost defeated the doorway had closed
Somehow miraculously it arose
Though cut to the bone it still clung to the blade
Believing in bleeding the price was paid
When the real thing is found it will always have scars
As all true lovers would

It once walked a road that I couldn't go
Knowing my weakness it carried my load
Ignoring the shame it thought only of me
As only a true lover would

Afraid of the Dark
by Randy Thompson

There were times as child I would wake up crying
When the fears of the night seemed so real
I'd see my mothers face hovering over me
Whispering comforting words in the night
Her gentile voice whispering to me
"Close your eyes it will be all right
Just feel my arms as they hold you tight
Letting you know your not alone in the night"
And I'd whisper "Don't leave me
'Cause I'm afraid of the dark"

When I look back now and recall those memories
Those silly fears that I've long since grown beyond
At least that's what I must go on believing
It's a lie I've told myself so many times
I can't afford to tear down the walls and hear the voice
Telling me "It'll be all right
Just feel My arms that want to hold you tight
To let you know your not alone in the night"

Ain't That Enough
by Randy Thompson

Jesus met the woman at the well
Now she's got a story to tell
And she ran into the town
Told 'em all come see what I found
Oh, a man He told me everything I've done
    If you believe in a Messiah He's the one

A blind man came to Jesus
Said "Oh' Lord have mercy on me.
I've been blind since the day I was born
And now I want to see."
Then Jesus touched his eyes and the blind man saw
Then He went away and told them all

CHORUS Ain't that enough to make you shout 'Hallelujah" o ya
Ain't that enough to make you say Amen
Ain't that enough to make you shout 'Hallelujah" o ya
Ain't that enough to make you say it again

Well, all of them there were in the boat
Tryin' hard to row it
When they looked upon the night
And the waves grew high
Then they all saw Jesus walking on the water
And they heard Him say "fear not, for it is I"

CHORUS

Then they took my Jesus
And they nailed Him on a tree
And they pierced His hands and His feet
And there He died for me
Mary went to the tomb early in the morning
When she got there she couldn't believe her eyes
The stone was rolled away and she heard the angels say
"Mary, don't look here 'cause He's alive"

CHORUS
