Just call out his name.

Broken hearts and broken promises had lead me a stray as I was drinking alcohol by the gallon while the days became nights as they turned back to days headed down a path of destruction filled with guilt and despair one that even my demons wanted out the ride was a one way ticket straight to the fires of hell. 

Chorus
I was pulled from out of the wreckage of my life that was filled with nothing but sorrow and despair by an angel of mercy who reached out and saved me coming from the skies high above in the heavens somewhere her wings where made of silver and a halo of gold blonde flowing hair with a beauty to behold

she said you my have forgotten hidden by the pain of a broken love but He still loves you just like his only son, time will hide all the scars and the pain just look to above then sing all his praises  and call out his name.

Chorus
I was pulled from out of the wreckage of my life that was filled with nothing but sorrow and despair by an angel of mercy who reached out and saved me coming from the skies high above in the heavens somewhere her wings where made of silver and a halo of gold blonde flowing hair with a beauty to behold

The tears begin falling as I fell back down to my knees asking God to forgive me for all the sins that I now bleed then it got quite as the sun begin to rise then I heard songs of redemption and these words that I heed for the rest of my life.

remember that hearts are meant to be broken time and time again for what does not kill you makes you stronger my son to help you get through the hardships until I call you back home  I will never forsake you with my love in your heart, then I felt a feeling of peace come over me as a smile  broke out for the first time as I could remember

Chorus
I was pulled from out of the wreckage of my life that was filled with nothing but sorrow and despair by an angel of mercy who reached out and saved me coming from the skies high above in the heavens somewhere her wings where made of silver and a halo of gold blonde flowing hair with a beauty to behold

That was five years ago today, so here I stand in front of all of you with that same smile still on my face to tell you I am  clean and sober and forever will I stay knowing that I was saved by an angel, a Man and his son to give me a second chance and you can have one to just call out his name.

I love you more

I love you more You may not know it yet but you will one day because I love you more than when the sun sets and the moon rises over us while we are laying on a blanket on the sand underneath us making love by the fire at the beach. Yes it is true I love you more than all the stars in the skies at night I love you more than you think I might I love you more than time itself with forever as a start I love you more every day no matter where you might be at I love you yes even more than you could ever see I love you more than the highest mountain peak I love you more than the deepest blue sea I love you longer than the longest yard I love your body from your head to your toes I love your mind, heart, and soul I love you more than anyone until the day I die then I will love you more from down below or way up high I love you more than when the lights are on I love you more when the lights go off I love you more in your dreams when you sleep at night I love you more and more after every fight

When I close my eyes

When I Close my Eyes I might not be able to change the world and I might not be able to change your mind I might not be able to make you love me but I can dream about It when I close  my eyes late at night when I am living somewhere in my mind for  that is where  I go every chance  When I want to escape All the violence and the hate a place where you and I walk hand and hand Down the peaceful streets At night after our date A place that is filled with laughter and tears drinking margaritas on the beach with you while we are dancing in the rain where I always smile and I forget all the pain a place where peace has won the war and race matter not any more where we can all now dance out in the streets rich or poor now all live next door to door a place where the sun shines every day and there are no dark clouds anymore where there are no chains that bind us all and we all matter bi
