Songs of Truth

A while ago a singer came to my stake and talked about her journey and how she became a singer that is played on "Soft Sunday Sounds." Her name is Jacquie Jones and she once lived in my stake years and years ago; well she gave each girl for each family her c.d. and it's one of my favorites. The songs are true and touching, the spirit is in each, and it really helps when you're feeling down.

"Here I am again down on my knees, and with every pleading word thy comfort I seek. Though the words are slow to come, my thoughts are racing by peace fills the room thy spirit is nigh. He hears me when I'm crying in the night. He hears me when my soul longs to fight. Til the morning will come and the light of the dawn reassures me...He hears me."
 "All alone I leave the harbor, so many oceans to explore on my own I face the darkness as I leave behind the safety of the shore. When I'm tossed upon the water, when winds of change begin to blow. His words of truth, I will follow. The Savior's hop is the anchor of my soul. "

"Lonely road so hard to travel, I fix my eyes upon the distant light. Where my struggles cloud my vision and make it hard to keep Him in my sight. I know He's near me and I know He'll catch me when if all. Keep your eyes on me, Rely on me, I will lead you home. Don't lose faith in me, find strength in me. I won't let you face the night alone. "

"Stillness filled the heavens on crusification day. Some say it rain, I don't know if it's true. But I can just imagine ten-thousand angels cry, that would seem like rain to me and you. The angel's all stood ready to take him away from the trree, they waited for the wrods from his voice. And when He asked the Father, Why hast thou forsaken me. They watched the Savior die of his own choice. I've never seen ten-thousand angels cry but I'm sure they as they stood by and watched teh Savior die. God turned his head away, He coulnd't bear the sight. It must have looke dlike Rain when ten-thousand angels cried. .."

"Face to face so few were in that place. When heaven sent Messiah to reclaim this fallen race. And if I can't convince a world, than perhaps I'll reach a soul. As I tell of how He's changed me, how I wait for Him to take me. Then I'll worship on my knees and kiss once wounded feet. Though He knows my prayer, one day I'll tell Him face to face."
