One Written by Guy Morris © 2015 One Child and all our hopes began One Reign without an end One Truth time will never change One Touch healing the broken One Light, the eyes will open One Voice will still calm my waves An age of grace the presence of the heavens Saturate this place Over come us with your tender love to be the heart and the hands of only holy one One Kiss a blameless surrender One Tongue without an answer One Breath and Hades gates fell in disgrace One Name sung in the heavens One Gate to bath in forgiveness One Day the angels and saints will await An age of grace the presence of the heavens Saturate this place Over come us with your tender love to be the heart and the hands of only holy one The only one the holy one we will overcome by the power of a tender love of the the holy one (repeat)

Song of Lazarus Written by Guy Morris © 2015 (Man at the pool) He was born into his shame He learned to lower his eyes and he learned to hide his face When an angel moved the water Well, he no longer bothered With a spirit so fragile, somehow he believed (woman at the well) She was thirsty and alone As if yearning all her life for a love she never found From the shadows that we call conceal The moment came when she revealed Discovered a love who she had lost long ago I'm amazed by the grace Overwhelmed by the love I'm on fire with a hope that just keeps burning me up I'm in awe of the power Consumed by the peace Now I'm alive with a truth that just keeps changing me So resurrect the dead man asleep behind the stone Let Your voice ring out and my twilight will be long, long gone (blind man on the road) Always apprehensive in his gaze He would stagger through the darkest night on the brightest day From the shadows of a nameless life to the presence of the Word divine Only one stain he prayed would wash away (woman with oil) Jaded by the whispers and disgrace She was an outcast of a shattered life she wanted to escape She never tried to understand surrendering without a plan And gave the only gift had left to give away I'm amazed by the grace Overwhelmed by the love I'm on fire with a hope that just keeps burning me up I'm in awe of the power Consumed by the peace Now I'm alive with a truth that just keeps changing me So resurrect the dead man asleep behind the stone Let Your voice ring out and my twilight will be long, long gone (chorus of mourners outside the tomb) Defender of the innocent a shining light into the darkness of our lives Defender of the innocent shatter the shame and the lies that divide us Defender of the innocent astounding peace as the fury races by Defender of the innocent a touch of faith, a word of hope a life arises I'm amazed by the grace Overwhelmed by the love I'm on fire with a hope that just keeps burning me up I'm in awe of the power Consumed by the peace Now I'm alive with a truth that just keeps changing me So resurrect the dead man asleep behind the stone Let Your voice ring out and my twilight will be long, long gone

about

All Bandcamp For the Grace proceeds will be paid directly to World Vision "Where Most Needed Fund." Thank you for your contribution to the children who have no voice.

To Date: Over $300 has been contributed directly to World Vision - THANK YOU for your generosity for the children. A nice start.

For the Grace is a collection of my personal prayers and praise-worship songs (songs I sing at home). These songs are born through a life sojourn through radical changes and extremes from homeless to blessed. I am a parable and these are my testimonies.

Written over a period of 40 years, For the Grace blends rock, jazz, gospel and Latin grooves into a robust texture of styles and tones uncommon in contemporary Christian music.

I once wrote professionally. Now I write for my prayer closet. I typically share only with family and close friends . . . and now, for the first time, with you.
