The descriptions of the songs "As We Walk In His Light and There's An Angel On My Shoulder" should give you substantial insight about me, as lyricist songwriter writing story lines about "Inspirational Songs."
As We Walk In His Light
We are all welcome in his house
When coming in leave outside all of your doubt
In time we all come to him
Because he gives light when life’s path gets dim
And he sees every man, woman, boy, and girl
And his heart covers the whole wide world
Peace only comes to the ones that he has shown
And if you believe that he is king and that he can do anything
All you got to do is come to him
Chorus
As we walk in his light
He will show us what’s right
I know everything will come into sight
As our spirits soar to a brand new height
We all need a helping hand
When life seems hard to understand
There is someone that I recommend
Jesus Christ will be your friend
And he sees every man, woman, boy, and girl
And his heart covers the whole wide world
Peace only comes to the ones that he has shown
And if you believe that he is king and that he can do anything
All you got to do is come to him
Chorus
As we walk in his light
He will show us what’s right
He’s gonna show you everything will come into sight
As our spirit soars to a brand new height
Make sure you kneel and pray
Each and every day
Give God the praise every day
And he’ll show you the way
I know that God will show you
The way
All you have to do is believe it
The way
All you have to do is believe

Description: My religious/spiritual roots run deep in Washington, PA, where my father's family was instrumental in John Wesley United Methodist Church, receiving its initial charter and celebrating 113 years of service. I was a very devout member and would say, it was at the center of my life during my formative years with no outside pressures. This lyric songwriting story line, is my way paying homage to those who pray and have prayed in this warm loving sanctuary. Carlton Thompson's music production fits the lyric like a glove.
There's An Angel On My Shoulder
Where ever we begin
It all comes around again
We never lose anyone
They just move on to higher ground
Chorus
There’s an angel on my shoulder
We get closer as I grow older
She keeps whispering in my ear
Only through love is heaven near
Before she said good bye
My grandmother called me to her side
She told me she would always be my guide
And in my dreams, I would see her from time to time
Back then I really didn’t understand it
Now I could never take her love for granted
From her gift I have been truly blessed
Because she touched my soul with her spirit
Repeat Chorus
I know as long as I am here
She will always be there
Keeping her watch over me
Making sure that I believe
Repeat Chorus
Repeat 1st Verse

Description: This lyric songwriting story line is about my Great Grand Mother, Narcissa "Jenny" Brown (my mother's grand mother), who is one of the people myself published book on AMAZON title "Lyric Line: Thinking Out Loud Is Anyone Listening?" is dedicated to. She was also my roommate, protector, and first "Spiritual Advisor." A rough acappella vocal production of this track has been recorded..
For Us He'll Always Be There
Open your eyes to see a brighter day
Please open them to see a better way
We know we can’t hide from the light
In our hearts we know only his way is right
Chorus
He is watching over you
In all the things you do
If we show him that we care
For us, he’ll always be there
You can run as far as you can
The weight of your load only he knows
When the burden becomes too heavy
Turn your heart and soul toward heaven
Repeat Chorus
After he has laid our troubles to rest
We’ll know we’ve passed another test
Showing him, we have kept our faith
In his house, we’ll always have a place
Repeat Chorus

Description: I always try to encourage those who have not found a religious or spiritual path that they should do so. But always remember to be devout and faithful in their walk, not everyone's is the same , we all evolve, and should be taught the meaning of aphorisms, metaphors, and parables. But they should never be driven from the path!
