Steve Lindsley - Amazing 03:58
lyrics
Little boy standing at the creek side bed there she stood holding a rock in hand And with her hands she broke that rock in two It didn’t matter later when he learned that she Had found the rock already cracked in pieces She would still be everything he wanted her to It really is amazing This strength for all to see So amazing To live what you believe It really is amazing The power that filled your heart It moves inside of me Little boy listen to piano playing Singing about amazing grace and Three part harmony filling out the song And many years later in her twilight days He sang that song and watched the way Her face lit up cause she knew she belonged It really is amazing The love you gave to me So amazing That everyone can see It really is amazing This grace that brought you home The song you sang with me Little boy isn’t very little now All grown up and living how He’d think they’d want him to if they were here Cause everyone is a part of us Even those no longer with us Their strength and grace are melodies he still can hear It really is amazing So amazing It really is amazing This strength and grace you lived It’s now a part of me

Doug Davis - Those Old Time Stories 02:50
lyrics
buy track
When I stumble, slip, or falter spirit’s light may fade when the deep well knows no water ties that bind all frayed When fair fortune’s waylaid song is heard so soft and low Will you tell those old-time stories And raise my spirit’s glow? There’s a lost that’s found on bended knee There’s the blind that can’t be seen There’s a debt no one can guarantee That’s forfeit in between When I tremble at the price so dear And my ships all run ashore It’s the tales from hearth and home I hear That bring me peace once more As we wander deep cross field and seas From the shores we once held dear Have we lost our distant memories Bedrock disappeared? When fair fortune’s waylaid song is heard so soft and low Will you tell those old-time stories And raise my spirit’s glow?

J. Dale Walker - Picture on My Wall 04:52
lyrics

Gone are the days of “Baby Dale” Of skipping rocks and raising hell An old dirt road and wishing well Our little farm a citadel An endless stream of cigarettes The smell of ‘em I can’t forget Elvis records, 8 track cassettes Sowing machine and quilting mess I keep your picture on my wall My mom, uncle, and Grandmawmaw Donny Shelton in coveralls He took me fishing every Fall Learned to play in your living room Learned to cook in your kitchen too Gotta say you were gone too soon It crushed my mom, the missing you I keep your picture on my wall My mom, uncle, and Grandmawmaw Donny Shelton in coveralls He took me fishing every Fall If in Heaven you see Mom there Give her my love and this short prayer Tell Donny that I miss him too, And uncle Ray to crack a few So many people dead and gone Such is the way of flesh and bone Taken to that somewhere isle We only have a little while I keep your picture on my wall My mom, uncle, and Grandmawmaw Donny Shelton in coveralls He took me fishing every Fall You share a frame with Grandpa Max My mom’s grandma, my mem’ry lacks My mom and Dad when still in love Inez and Roy you’ve joined above I keep your picture on my wall My mom, uncle, and Grandmawmaw Donny Shelton in coveralls Maybe one day I’ll see you all

William Nesmith - All I Ever Needed Was Me* 03:34
lyrics

*I wrote this song this week from a prompt in another writing group I'm in. I'm paying to be in that one and I'm a little pissed about low engagement. It still fits for this group's prompt because I'm sure both my grandmothers would be proud of me embracing self-love and following my dreams :) I’ve been climbing to the rooftop You’ve been sitting on the stair And I keep on slowing down ‘Cause I keep turning around And see you’re still there If you’re never moving forward Don’t know why you’re even here Guess your bio is a lie Almost never see you try You really don’t care Week after week I keep on begging for your love Begging for your love I always wanted a community But lately I am beginning to see All I ever needed was me I don’t need you to validate me I know I’m amazing All I ever needed was me So you can keep on being silent I don’t need your guidance You can keep that same energy Enough of the woe is me I might be alone but I am not lonely Oh x7 All I ever needed was me I’ve been full of motivation But I think it’s pretty clear That telling you you’re enough And trying to lift you up Is falling on deaf ears So I’m going to the rooftop I don’t care what you do ‘Cause I’m ready for action I’m making it happen With or without you Week after week I keep on begging for your love I think I’ve had enough Rather have everybody win with me But I’m not waiting for eventually, no Y’all ain’t matching my energy (nah) And it’s really offending me (yahh) I’ve been tryna be friendly But you bring out the enemy I give you my feedback All you give me is your silence (shh) You act like you need a PhD to say I like that sh… Y’all got me all in my feels (you do) You make me not want to stay (I don’t) ‘Cause I worked all week on this track (I did) And y’all can’t even push play (why not) This community Ain’t supporting me But I’m gon’ support myself (uh huh) Never needed anyone else I know (real talk)

P Ferguson - The Long Walk Home - Winter Wolf Saga pt. 7. (Winter Wolf speaks up to the family after he saved their asses, and they head back) 03:44
lyrics

Come now don’t stay silent You wonder what became of me Your own little monster Tried to protect his family I know I’m the odd one I know what you say behind my back Just because I seem a little different Doesn’t mean I won’t defend my pack Let’s go home lets go home now Lets’ go home lets go home now Maybe one day you will understand me But for now lets go home I always felt like a burden And I heard you as you would curse my name So I learned to stay silent With the hopes that one day, you’d learn to love me Let’s go home lets go home now Lets’ go home lets go home now Maybe one day you will call me by my name But for now lets go home

Luke Payne - The Architect 05:32
lyrics

Measuring all the lines, carving the flow with symmetry We built our house out of sunlight and sand and memories I remember the stone in your wedding band, sometimes it’s the little things We cut a life out of the stone like an offering I can never get what I, I can never get what I want I can never get what I, I can never get what I need I can hear your voice only I can hear your voice only I can You told me I’m here to be, I know am here to be heeded Praise the song of the, the song of the sparrow Taste the blood and the, the blood and the marrow I am only here just to, I am only here just to serve you I know I will never, no, I know, I will never deserve you Laus Deo, Laus Deo, Laus Deo x 4 On the back of a whale whistling a song of surrender I caught a glimpse like a glowing ember oh Carry me to the wisdom in your well There’s a fire in the hearth, we are hale from the harvest Full of the grace that your passion brought us oh Follow me down the peaceful middle way I came last in line Old clothes and old secrets No claims clear of mind No shame and no regrets Fierce enough to love I found everything Could be had from nothing I found I could sing My song without rushing Free enough to leave I built a new home From parts once discarded I raised up my tribe With all you imparted Strong enough to thrive

Sweet As The Morning throw your worries away Wipe away those tears Though the sky is gray Wipe away those tears Sweet as the morning sun shining down Sweet as the morning Put away that frown Mama bake us an apple pie Put it on the window sill Open up a bottle of that homemade wine and keep it chilled Sweet as the morning sun shining down Sweet as the morning Put away that frown

lyrics

Come on in child Where 'you been? Grab yourself a plate Not much good can happen when you venture too far, staying out so late Ch: Maw Maw's Boy could pop a squat Because Maw Maw's Boy's stuff don't stink Life ain't ever too hard for Maw Maw's Boy He rolled in from Wesley Long on a way back July day In a house full of women his blue eyes and his grinnin' ensured that he always got his way Ch I know for damn well sure he was told too many times: He was a special case (One too many, Two too many...)

Jerry Chapman - Stay in the Game 02:55
lyrics

v1: I'm up to bat Kick off the dirt, dig in my heels Adjust my hat I'm ready to swing, it don't seem real ch: You could feel the breeze a mile away I wasn't even close A cartoon tragedy in every frame A 2nd chance and then a 3rd That's how it goes You'll never get more swings if you don't... Stay in the game v2: Look up the hall The 4th-prettiest girl in middle school I'm feeling small and ill-prepared for ridicule ch: But something has come over me I'm moving in to ask She doesn't even seem to know my name The disappointment washes over me I wear it like a mask You'll never make the date if you don't... Stay in the game v3: My first guitar The action high, my talent low I might not go far Just wanna write a tune, maybe play a show ch: I ended up right where I am A world full of songs Feels better than I imagined fame So keep doing what you do Carve a world where you belong But you won't get the chance if you don't... Stay in the game

about

The new assignment comes from The Right Rev Steve Lindsley:

“Write a song that your grandma would be proud of. This could be the style of song, the song's topic, or the fact that your grandma would be proud of anything you did even if that's singing the phone book (but don't actually do that).”
