"He's A Friend"

This is a Southern Gospel type song. I wrote it while working as a receptionist in a Retirement Village, where there were many lonely people.

He's A Friend

Shine his light in the darkness.
Let His love flow through you.
Jesus cares for the lonely and blue.
Share a smile filled with gladness.
Spread a word of good news.
There is one who is waiting for you.
He's a friend, true and faithful,
A friend by your side,
Speaking words that will lift spirits high.
God gives rest to the weary,
He gives strength to the weak,
Feeds the soul that is thirsty and dry.

Be a friend to the lonely,
Be a friend to the blue,
Lift them up to the Father in love.
Share a bouquet of flowers.
Spread a word of His truth.
Let the hope of the Lord
Shine through you.
He's a friend, true and faithful,
A friend by your side,
Speaking words that will lift spirits high.
God gives rest to the weary,
He gives strength to the weak,
Feeds the soul that is thirsty and dry.

Jesus cares for His children.
Jesus cares for the lost.
Spread good news of the gospel to all.
He's a friend even closer
Than a brother to you,
For He loves you with His perfect love.
He's a friend, true and faithful,
A friend by your side,
Speaking words that will lift spirits high.
God gives rest to the weary,
He gives strength to the weak,
Feeds the soul that is thirsty and dry.

John 14:6


He's My Lord


He's the light in the darkness, He's my Lord.
He's the strength in my weakness, He's my Lord.
He's the Way, the Truth, the Life, the Living Word.
Jesus Christ, the son of God, He's my Lord.

He's the love in my heart, He's my Lord.
He's the song in my spirit, He's my Lord.
He is everything my heart was seeking for.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, He's my Lord.

He's the joy on the mountain, He's my Lord.
He's the peace in the valley, He's my Lord.
He's the Way, the Truth, the Life, the Living Word.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, He's my Lord.

He's my hope for the future, He's my Lord.
He's my Blessed Redeemer, He's my Lord.
He's the King of Glory coming for His Bride.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, He's my Lord.

"Like A Rose"

A Christmas Southern Gospel type song ~



Check this out on Chirbit


Like A Rose

He was born long ago, in a manger low,
Holy child, Prince of Peace, Son of God.
Wise men bearing gifts, knelt and worshipped Him,
Offering gold, frankincense and myrrh.
Like a rose of Sharon my Jesus lives.
Ever pure, fair and lovely is He.
He's the True Living Word, the Son of God,
Full of grace, tender mercy and love.

Shepherds watching their flocks on a starry night,
Saw a glorious light fill the sky.
Then a Heavenly Host from on high appeared,
Saying "Fear not, I bring good news."
Like a rose of Sharon my Jesus lives.
Ever pure, fair and lovely is He.
He's the True Living Word, the Son of God,
Full of grace, tender mercy and love.

Unto you, now is born, in Bethlehem,
Jesus, Savior, Christ the Lord.
Then the shepherds followed the shining star,
To the place where the infant lay.
Like a rose of Sharon my Jesus lives.
Ever pure, fair and lovely is He.
He's the True Living Word, the Son of God,
Full of grace, tender mercy and love.

God so loved the world that He gave His son,
As a light in the darkness to shine.
For the gift of God is eternal life,
Through Jesus Christ His Son.
Like a rose of Sharon my Jesus lives.
Ever pure, fair and lovely is He.
He's the True Living Word, the Son of God,
Full of grace, tender mercy and love.

Rockabye My Baby

Sing a lullaby to the baby.
Gentle melodies softly hum.
Rockabye my sweet little baby.
Rockabye my baby to sleep.
Lay your little head upon your pillow.
Angels guard you safely through the night.
Dream the sweetest dreams sleeping soundly.
Rockabye my baby to sleep.

The Righteous

Psalm 1:3, Psalm 92:12, Psalm 61:3

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree.
He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water
and He shall bring forth his fruit in due season.
His leaf also shall not wither
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper
That they might be called trees of righteousness
the planting of the Lord
that He might be glorified.

I can't believe I sang this one, as I certainly am not a soprano.

Some Music Added

I have found a way to add the music. I believe I have finally added back all the music that was on here. This is not more of my music, though I have some I need to send in for a copyright. Thank you so much for visiting and following my music website.

More Music to Songs

Because of copyrights, I had to delete the music to my songs. I will try to find another way to display the music.

Music is added back now.

From Day to Day

I wrote this song when I worked at Wal-Mart as a cashier. I was not scanning fast enough. The manager told me I was "losing money." I always took time to bag things carefully too. So I wrote this song, and when I sang it to myself, I scanned really fast!

From Day to Day

I can do all things through my God who strengthens me,
For His strength is made perfect in my weakness.
I will call unto God for my help from day to day,
For He hears my cries and meets my every need.

He is the great I AM, Jehovah God, El Shaddiah.
Nothing is impossible for Him.
His is the name above all names, in heaven and on earth.
There is power in the mighty name of God.

Jesus gives me love, joy and peace from day to day.
I will praise God and give Him thanks in everything.
The Holy Spirit of my God leads me day by day,
As He brings to my remembrance things of God.

He is the great I AM, Jehovah God, El Shaddiah.
Nothing is impossible for Him.
His is the name above all names, in heaven and on earth.
There is power in the mighty name of God.

Son of Righteousness

This is a scripture verse that I set to music.

Malachi 4:2

Son of Righteousness

Unto you that fear my name, fear my name,
Shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings,
With healing in His wings,
Ye shall go forth and grow up as the calves of the stall,
And ye shall tread down the wicked, for they shall be ashes,
Under the soles of your feet, says the Lord Thy God.

I just realized that the title should be Sun of Righteousness, instead of Son of Righteousness.

About This Website

Update: A dream come true ~ I am now an Author, Composer and Publisher member of ASCAP.

This website is for the music I have written. My music includes a variety, such as songs, scripture music, worship songs, instrumentals, Southern Gospel, and hymns. One of my dreams is to have something recorded. If you or your church would like to use any of my music or to record a song, please contact me. I really do want to join a composer's association. It takes some time to get music on here. I have to attempt to play all the chords perfectly, put the music on a CD, change to mp3, etc. I also have lots of music started that I need to complete. Thank you for listening to my music.

To God Be the Glory!

Touch My Heart


When the pain is deep in my heart
I will call upon my Jesus.
He will take away the pain.
He hears the cries of my heart.
Jesus, Jesus, touch my heart.
Take all the bitterness Lord.
Only thou canst make me whole.
Touch thou my heart, Lord, I pray.

When the burdens come my way,
I will call upon my Jesus.
He will bear my burdens for me.
When I am weak, He is strong.
Jesus , Jesus, carry me.
I cast my cares upon Thee.
Thou alone dost care for me.
Thou art the strength of my heart.

When I seem to lose the way,
I will call upon my Jesus.
He will lead me with His hand.
He knows the cries of my heart.
Jesus, Jesus, lead the way.
Thou art the Truth and the Life.
Thou alone hast plans for me.
Show me Thy will, Lord, I pray.

New Songs

He has put new songs in my heart,
New songs in my heart
Songs of hope in the Lord our God,
Flowing from my heart
Flowing like rivers of water,
From the fountain of life,
Songs of joy and gladness,
New songs in my heart.

He has put gladness in my heart,
Gladness in my heart
Songs of joy in the Lord our God,
Flowing from my heart
Flowing like rivers of water,
From the fountain of life,
Songs of joy and gladness,
New songs in my heart.
