WAITING ON A MIRACLE

Waiting on a Miracle

Let me keep on Dreaming; I'll dream you a World that's New! Faithfulness ain't foolishness, it helps ta See us Through! We've got a world at War in spots, yet Peace grows every Day; let's let it Grow up Big and Tall, 'n let love have its Way! You can try ta Stop it, but you'll only hurt your Self; Love don't beLong ta be Buried, or kept Only-On-the-shelf!

Doubting leads to doomsday – do you Want to go?

Fear's for fools, but Life's for lovers; Let's let love-life Flow!

What are you 'Fraid of? ‘s your Shadow stalking you?

Seems like Something's stumped you – and Still you claim no clue!

Seek and ye shall find, knock on every Shut-tight door, until you find the promise... that you've been waiting For! Every single idol turns Out with Fragile Feet o’ Clay; Love and truth and beauty, toGether. better Light the Way.

When you're falling Free, you gotta Pull your Parachute Cord: You’re gonna make it, Friend, once you Cop to the Living Lord!
