songs by me

Here are a couple of the songs that I have written. I just thought that I'd like to share them with you. The Lord gave them to me and they have helped me and blessed me. I hope perhaps they can do the same for some of you. They include guitar chords. ~ Blessings

Am                C    Am           C                  Am

Am                     C     Am                       C               Am
Who's around to hear? Who's around to care for my needs?

CHORUS:
C             G        C             Am
Lord you are everything to me
C             G    C                 Em
Lord you are all that I will ever need
C           G          C         Am
Father take my life and let me be
     C      G            C
A sacrifice of praise!

C                   G           C            Am 
Sometimes I fear the futures' unknown
C                   G          C                Am
Sometimes I cry, "O Lord, where did you go?"
C                   G             C        Am 
But then He answers, "here am I,
        C          G           C           Em
I've always been right by your side
      C           G              C        Am
But in your pride you moved away from me
           C               G          C
Come now, come back to stay."  
Am                 C
Teach me to trust
Am                    Em
Remember I am only dust
C           G            C                 Am              
Father come and make your abode in me
C         G          Am          G                C               G          C
Father fill me with Thy Spirit, Come now, come home, in me!   -   Sing chorus
Am                  Em    Am                 Em
In my darkest hour, you are always there
C               G          C
waiting to call me home
  C    Am                 C  
Lord I am coming home
C         Am        C          G      C
Father take me home, I need You!   -   Sing chorus
