Category Archives: Diamonds in the Dust

Vessel of brass, polished like gold, Bright as the fire you’re destined to hold, Gleaming by day in the power of the sun, A mirror, held out to the Brilliant One, Drawn from the earth as a servant of light, Graceful and slender, you reach for the sky, Simple in Beauty, a sculpture for use, [...]

To The Keeper Of My Soul I’ve been working too hard Trying to break even And it just seems to get Harder as I go Sometimes I get angry At the life I have to live Until I remember Who I’m living for (cause…) Chorus I’ve been serving (loved by) Jesus Long enough to know [...]

I Can’t Reach You I kneel and pray to silence. I sing to no reply. I crave the living water, But deep down, I’m dry. God, I wanna see you, Though the light would leave me blind. It’s better than this darkness in my mind. They tell me you’re my father. Then why don’t you [...]

Honest Man As darkness falls, I hear the call to step out in the street Where men of class and winos pass like wandering ghosts that never meet. I’m a beggar on this corner. I’m holding out my hand. So buddy can you help me to find an honest man. I walk real fast by [...]

Love Like Water Love was a desert. I was a thirsty man, Desperately searching Out on the burning sand. And you, you were a river to me. When every prayer I whispered Fell down and turned to dust, I moved from one dry well to another, Looking for a friend that I could trust, You [...]

Not Everything That Feels Good I was hungry for affection. She was hungry for a friend. I reached out and tried to listen. She reached out and took my hand. I did everything to please her. We both wanted more and more. Love finally came up empty. Left us hungrier than before. CHORUS: Not everything [...]

I Don’t Know Anyone/There Is A Light I don’t know anyone, she whispered quietly. Nobody knows me at all. Nobody talks to me. Nobody plays with me. Nobody comes when I call. Something is wrong with me, something they see in me. Wish I could see it myself. I would change gladly, if someone would [...]
