Why Wouldn’t I?  by Serene Allison

Went to work before I woke up, I didn’t say goodbye,
Late night talk was kind of cold and now I want to cry,
The bed is feeling empty though our baby’s in my arms,
Feelin’ sorry for those foolish words, I didn’t mean no harm.

CHORUS:
Never gonna give up on you, baby,
Never gonna go away, no, no,
Never gonna give up on you, baby,
You’re never going to see the day,
Oh I’m holdin’ on tight, always gonna fight for you,
Why wouldn’t I?

Never seen you look that way, never seen those dismal eyes,
You said you’re feeling desperate, said you cannot figure why,
You’re captive to this merry-go-round; serve the thief of time,
But I know you’re gonna make it,
Failure’s never crossed my mind.

CHORUS:

 

Kiss You Better

Kiss you Better by Pearl Barrett

Honey, come in sit down,
Your supper will be ready soon,
I can tell you are worn and weary,
Heaven knows what you’ve been through.

Your shoulders feel all tied up in knots,
Let me rub them for a minute or two,
No I can’t take today away
But I can make tonight better for you.

CHORUS:
Let’s see if I can brighten up your clouds,
I wanna chase the rain away somehow,
You work so hard for us and there’s no doubt
That you’ve had your full of stormy weather
So here I am to kiss you better.

Did you see I wore your favorite dress?
And I let my hair down just how you like,
I know the years have changed me a little
But I still hope you see your beautiful bride.

CHORUS:

 

Brave Enough

Brave Enough by Pearl Barrett

I know how to give a piece of my mind,
Practice makes perfect, I don’t have to try,
It comes easy for me,
But I’ll admit it’s not working that well,
I think I’ve come to the end of myself,
So I’m finally listening to that still small voice
Urging me to make the choice to be…

CHORUS:
Brave enough to be meek,
Bold enough to be still,
Wise enough to learn to hold my tongue
When my words just want to spill
Big enough to forgive
Strong enough to submit
Yeah, brave enough to let these hardened parts
Turn to gentleness.
Brave enough!

I know God’s ways are higher than mine,
The wisdom of man is foolishly blind,
Now I see clearly.
I know I’ve got some hew habits to learn,
I need to build back the bridges I’ve burned
For I very nearly lost the one that I love,
So here I am asking for help from above to be…

CHORUS:

So turn me around,
Turn me upside down,
Mold the core of me
Into what you are naturally.

 

I'll Pray For You

I Pray for You by Serene Allison

I heard you leave a message on our phone,
I could tell how you are feeling by the tone,
Your words are broken but the heart is spoken,
You said you didn’t wanna burden me.
Forget the things I say entirely.
I didn’t mean to vent but I’m completely spent.

CHORUS:
So I pray for you, it’s all I know to do,
I pray that God will fill your empty heart,
So I pray for you, nothing else will do,
I pray His joy will flood your deepest part.

I look at you as we pass along the hall,
You’re so overtired, no way to rest at all,
I wish that I could help but you keep it to yourself,
You’ll be awake before the sun can show its face,
Back to town where you will work your crazy pace,
After all you do there’s so little left of you.

CHORUS:

 

Together

Sample of  "Together"  {mp3}Together{/mp3}

 

Together by Serene Allison

You and I have been through the fire,
Been through the flame, together, 
You and I have seen many kinds of weather,
Been through the rain, together,
You and I have tasted of the ripened fruit
That our loves yields,
And when the wine was bitter, our salty tears
Escaped and mingled down together.

CHORUS:
Our love is like a bird,
Can’t fly with just one wing,
I need you and you need me,
We’ll take flight in harmony.

You and I go deep, walk vulnerable
And barefoot on love’s path, together.
You and I have swum across the rivers
That were barely passable, together,
You and I have tried to scale the mountains
Their reflections casting doubts together.

We’ll soar above our fears,
When the storm blows, we will find His shadow,
We will hide beneath the One
Who watches over the sparrow.
