Thanks!~

Just sent you a PM

Hi Roy! i didnt get your PM.

sent it again

God Bless Roy and Helen

I would like to invite you to check out my song "All Things Wise and Wonderful" on my SoundClick page and see if you like it and think it might fit. I have five postings there, but this is the one that might be best for a child your daughter's age to sing. Also have more lyric sheets available for those I haven't demoed yet. Peace.

hi Kayzen...I have several songs I hope you and your daughter like. unfortunately, I'm having problems with my e-mail. I'm going to post links to the songs here as well as the lyrics. I don't mean to commandeer your thread but it's my only option. You can PM me if needed.

Where the Rainbow is the Gold

When dark clouds have crossed the morning skies
And a salty rain has filled my eyes
Let a daydream journey carry me away

Let me walk with hope along the sunny highlands
Where a bluebird’s song is softer than the silence
Cos a stormy morning has a promise to uphold
And my spirit won’t be poor, somehow it will rise once more
Where the rainbow is the gold

When I walk a dark and snowy night
Life will only show me black and white
May the dawn not settle for a shade of grey

Let me sail with faith between Pacific islands
Where a dolphin’s song is softer than the silence
Cos a cloudy morning has a promise to uphold
And my spirit won’t feel poor, somehow it will rise once more
Where the rainbow is the gold…where the rainbow is the gold

If the chill of winter blows across my chosen road
Wrap me in a rainbow like a many colored coat

Let me walk with hope along the sunny highlands
Let me sail with faith between Pacific islands
Cos December mornings have a promise to uphold
And my spirit won’t be poor, someday it will rise once more
Where the rainbow is the gold…where the rainbow is the gold

this is about Patsy Cline.

Honky Tonk Angel

In some honky tonk in Silver City,
a man poured himself a glass of pity
'cause he'd lost his woman and his wage
then the juke went dead and from nowhere,
a rhinestone girl, a rose in her hair
stepped up from the crowd and up on stage

without even a guitar player,
she sang an old song like a prayer
that gave him the strength to go on
when she finished he put his glass down,
and made his way onto the stage, he looked around
but with heaven's grace, she was gone

she's a honky tonk angel
sent to bind up broken hearts
and shine a light on lives
grown shadowy and dark
she heals you with her voice
and lifts you when she sings
she's a honky tonk angel
and her songs are her wings

it's been years now since her song of glory,
but now and then he still hears stories
from others who once lost it all
they say a rhinestone beauty still haunts,
these saloons and honky tonks
with the songs that helped them walk tall

chorus

somewhere in the moonlight, she's walking after midnight

chorus

she's a honky tonk angel...

this was recently recorded by bluegrass band Nu Blu on their All the Way cd. here is the demo:

Heavy Cross to Bear

Steven was a medic, serving in Afghanistan
Red cross painted on his helmet, dodging bullets in the sand
He’d risk his life to rescue, soldiers dyin’ in the dust
It was only paint and metal, but to him that helmet was

A heavy cross to bear
For the true and the brave
With courage, light and prayer
Someone will be saved
Though it’s humble and it’s plain
It’s beyond compare
That symbol yet remains
A heavy cross to bear

There’s a one-room country chapel, in the woods of Alabam’
And it’s bid goodbye to heroes, from Japan to Vietnam
Simple cross upon the steeple, forged with hope and faith and steel
‘long as liberty is threatened, then that church will always feel

A heavy cross to bear
For the true and the brave
With courage, light and prayer
Someone will be saved
Though it’s humble and it’s plain
It’s beyond compare
That symbol yet remains
A heavy cross to bear

There’s a hill beside a farmhouse, with a footpath on the side
And a cross among some crabgrass, made of pine and painted white
There’s a widow in the moonlight, and a teardrop epitaph
Dozen roses and some dog-tags, and that hill will always have

A heavy cross to bear
For the true and the brave
With courage, light and prayer
Someone will be saved
Though it’s humble and it’s plain
It’s beyond compare
That symbol yet remains
A heavy cross to bear

Lead Me When I’m Lost

When my will is broke and worry fills my brow
Burdens weigh me down and I can’t bear the cost
Tell me that you hear me now
And lead me when I’m lost

When I’m wand’ring in an unfamiliar land
Life’s a mountaintop I lack the strength to cross
Tell me that you’ll take my hand
And lead me when I’m lost

Lead me when I’m lost
Lead me when I’m lost
In a midnight meadow
Shield me from all shadow
Lead me when I’m lost

When my soul’s a ship that seeks a friendly port
Both the wind and waves have left me torn and tossed
Tell me that you hear me, Lord
And lead me when I’m lost

Lead me when I’m lost
Lead me when I’m lost
If my faults should blind me
Let your blessings find me
Lead me when I’m lost

May your goodness guide me
Let your will be mine tonight
May you walk beside me
Let your mercy shine tonight

And lead me when I’m lost
Lead me when I’m lost
In a midnight meadow
Shield me from all shadow
Lead me when I’m lost

Lead me when I’m lost
Lead me when I’m lost…

You can find my lyrical suggestion on the parallel thread.

Here is the music the lyrics - "cycles" - were written for:
http://www.katejacksonmusic.com/new-songs.html
(Acapella = Silentium)

I tried to make the lyrics more suitable for a girls' choir than "silentium" which I would consider "adult contemporary" - whatever that means ;-)
Yet when Kate showed no interest at all I did the bridge 'free style' (more adult) so this part would not fit.

Hi,

I have children's lyrics and Christian lyrics.
I will send you them.

Thanks,
Lee

God Bless you. My name is Lee Streitz.

My Springs


I
Lord Jesus,
I feel today's alive and angel bright
I see your glorious face full of love
Your spirit travels through me with delight
Singing with sweet praises to lift me up

CHORUS:
My springs are in you, Lord Jesus
My springs are in you
I may lose my step and fall to my knees
But, your goodness and love always find me
My springs are in you Lord Jesus
My springs are in you

II
Lord Jesus,
You’re the light through the darkness of the trees
Pull me straight to you, your beloved lamb
I long to hear the words that you would say
“Don’t cry my child, for you belong to me.
You’re my shining light for the word to see"

CHORUS:
My springs are in you, Lord Jesus
My springs are in you
I may lose my step and fall to my knees
But, your goodness and love always find me
My springs are in you Lord Jesus
My springs are in you

III
Lord Jesus,
Did you know your my favorite melody
Through you I have comfort, wisdom and faith
Always let your sunshine stay within me
With you, I can climb the bridges I face

CHORUS:
My springs are in you, Lord Jesus
My springs are in you
I may lose my step and fall to my knees
But, your goodness and love always find me
My springs are in you Lord Jesus
My springs are in you

I LIFT MY EYES (Lee Streitz)

Daily Choice (Lee Streitz)

V1
I wake up with the morning star
I'm lost in dawn's tranquility
There's no worries inside my heart
But, the day ahead is not far
Bringing it's concerns and struggles
I'll be needing you to lean on
I might get a little shakin'
But with you, I'm not breakin'

CHORUS:

Lord,
You're my daily choice
My daily choice
My daily choice
In you I rejoice
Your words are clear
And I hold them dear
Thanks for being my friend
You're great to confide in

V2
With these strains this day will contain
I'll keep looking at your picture
Bringing me to you and my faith
Surrendering my day to your rapture
Now I won't feel so trampled on
With thoughts that I'm not good enough
For in you I am good enough
And in you Jesus I place my trust

Chorus:

Lord,
You're my daily choice
My daily choice
My daily choice
In you I rejoice
Your words are clear
And I hold them dear
Thanks for being my friend
You're great to confide in

V3
As we gather at our table
Our glasses we lift up to you
With thankful hearts, honor and praise
To you the only one who's true
The holy son of our Father
So deserving of our honor
With you my life is richer
You've been a wonderful teacher

Chorus:

Lord,
You're my daily choice
My daily choice
My daily choice
In you I rejoice
Your words are clear
And I hold them dear
Thanks for being my friend
You're great to confide in

V4
And now at the end of the day
I bow my head to you and pray
Thanks for your love restoring me
Physically and spirtually
While I'm sleeping under the stars
I know you'll be holding my heart
With angels watching from above
You'll protect me in your deep love

Chorus:

Lord,
You're my daily choice
My daily choice
My daily choice
In you I rejoice
Your words are clear
And I hold them dear
Thanks for being my friend
You're great to confide in

A NEW LIGHT (Lee Streitz)

I
Jesus, I come before you today
In your mighty presence of silence
You see I'm hurting and need to pray
To have your forgiveness sent my way

CHORUS:
Jesus, please see me in a new light
A new light, a new light, a new light
One that has learned the right from the wrong
That's why I am singing this gracious song
It's an endless bridge to you most high

II
Please accept me to eternity
I promise I'll never be the same
Now I feel free in your love for me
I'm made new and I'll uphold your name

CHORUS:
Jesus, please see me in a new light
A new light, a new light, a new light
One that has learned the right from the wrong
That's why I am singing this gracious song
It's an endless bridge to you most high

III
I'm glad you see me pure in your sight
Together we can stay burning bright
Thank you for your love, mercy and grace
Where you are the sun shines on my face

CHORUS:
Jesus, please see me in a new light
A new light, a new light, a new light
One that has learned the right from the wrong
That's why I am singing this gracious song
It's an endless bridge to you most high

Hi, here's another children lyric for you. I hope you like it. (Lee Streitz)

Under the Tree

1
I wake up to a lovely dawn
Looking out my window I see
My favorite tree waving at me
Inviting me to come and play
Under branches of leaves so green
On this gorgeous sun shiny day


CHORUS:
My favorite place to be
Is under the tree
Where I can just be me
I sit and look about
At all God's wonders
Waiting for me to see
My favorite place to be
Is under the tree

II
Laying my head back in the grass
I pull down my blue summer cap
Drifting off I dreamily nap
Melodies of the morning I hear
Woodpeckers, geese and birds so dear
All beautiful sounds in my ear

CHORUS

III
There is comfort in the tree's shade
I am watching squirrels play chase
Ducks are parading down to the lake
I take a sip of lemonade
And feel something soft on my arm
A caterpillar is crawling


CHORUS

IV
I swing back and forth in the breeze
Smiling joyfully, feeling free
Butterflies and birds joining me
I smell perfume from sweet flowers
And fresh cut grass from the mower

CHORUS

Just decided to follow up to see if you ever checked out any of my pieces on SoundClick. I didn't post the lyrics to every song but did begin updating over the weekend and may finish it out today. The song I had in mind was "All Things Wise and Wonderful". I have other lyrics not yet demoed and will search my files for a couple. I put mine in batches according to the year they were written in. Nearly all of them have been posted on this board since I became a member of it some six years ago. Now looking for perhaps a mentor who would be good at amping up the communication network to a whole next level.

she is a cutie!...I have three daughters, not one sings...lol BUT
I heard this from one of them one night..its not a complete song
but I thought it would make a good chorus, I can add a simple track to it. I think I would ask what a little girl would say.
maybe get some ideas from her, and have a few people here write with Her or add what they might have...she has to sing it so it would be very important what she is comfortable with. just my thought.

"chorus
the times I laugh and the times I cry
somehow I know your there by my side...ooo..
this is--------------Jesus..talking to you
this is-------------Jesus...and I am talking to you
