I can write many lyrics but I’ll stick to one for the moment.

“And even if the whole world has forgotten, the song remembers when.”
- Trisha Yearwood “The Song Remembers When” from the album of the same title

Ok, I’m going to try to pick just a couple and this is going to sound like a plug. All of my favorite lyrics are from my brothers’ band. While they are incredible musicians, they are even greater lyricists and poets. You can check them out at http://www.myspace.com/sensethefall:

Cause I am one day closer to You now than I was yesterday
And I can say that I can’t be Your Will if I am always in Your way.
–Sense the Fall “Time” from their self-titled album (lyrics by Cody and Clinton Walker – my brothers)

Father, give me a heart so sincere that if I listen I’ll hear 1,000 cries and I’ll save them.
Let the anointing be so strong I may reach 1,000 people with my song. Father, use me.
–Sense the Fall “1,000 Lives” from their self-titled album (lyrics by Doug Johnson – lead guitar and my cousin)

I’m trying to reach You. I know You’ll never let me fall.
And I’m wanting to see You. Cause You’re in control of it all.
I know I will reach You. Cause You give me wings to fly.
And I know I can see You. All I have to do is try.
–Last Man Standing (now Sense the Fall) “Try” from the album Dead Alive (lyrics by Cody and Clinton Walker)

I close my eyes and remember what You did for me
The day You died and set my soul free.
And now with one gasping breath and with everything to gain,
I lift my hands to the sky and scream out Your name.
–Sense the Fall “Words of Another” from their self-titled album (lyrics were written by a friend of the band….I don’t have the CD case with me to give him credit)
