I've been awake for a while now

You tucked me in just like a child now
Cause every time you hold me in your arms
Im comfortable enough to feel your warmth

It starts in my soul
And I lose all control
When you kiss my nose
The feelin shows
Cause you make me smile
Baby just take your time
Holdin me tight
Where ever, where ever, where ever you go
Where ever, where ever, where ever you go

"There are 45 other children who now live at the Agape orphanage. They range in ages from 12 months to 18 years. Most of the children have lost their parents to AIDS.
Agape was founded by a lady called Gogo "Grandma" Zodwa. She was working as an HIV counselor and found that many of the people she was counseling expressed deep concern about what would happen to their children when they were no longer around. So Zodwa established Agape to look after these children. Agape has had a tumultuous journey, but under Zodwa’s loving guidance it continues to grow stronger. Agape is a Greek word meaning 'unconditional love', which is exactly what the children at Agape receive."

The Road by Zero 7

Oh, dawn broke
Heavy rains made it hard to load
Is it time for the road?
I don’t know, don’t know

Father has gone
So let’s go hold your baby’s head
And I won’t let go
Of your hand, child of mine
(Child of mine)

When it’s time to let go
Then we’ll be up in heaven’s ground
Every dream that I dream
Let you have more than mine

Spirits will climb
Into a time of your design
All that I know
Never will be told, oh, child of mine

After the flight
Dead of night, oh, we’ll be peaceful
Sweet laughter calls
All of a sudden, no time for waiting

So I’m off on the road
That I see might be coming
And those dreams that I hold
All for this child of mine

All that I know
Never will it show, sweet child of mine
All that I know
Never will be told, oh, child of mine

Sweet child of mine
Oh, child

"On a bitter cold Christmas morning, I arrived on this planet by way of the Glendive, Montana high school, because the hospital was full of flu patients. I weighed a mere five pounds and didn't have a spear of hair on my head until I was three."

"They tell me that one day I decided to crawl under the corral fence and visit the long horned cattle in there. They weren't used to being chased by anyone who wasn't on horseback, much less by a skinny, bald-headed toddler. Mama rescued me and I lived to tell you about it."

"Then, when I was two, came the flood. My crib was beside the window and I remember seeing the water rising up on the pane outside. I remember sitting on the window sill with Mama and Wesley to keep out of the water when the house tipped up and the furniture all slid down to the low side. I remember being carried by Papa across the plank he put from the window to the bank of the stream when the house lodged for a time before swirling on down [the mountain] to its destruction."

"I never didn't want to get married, but God gave me many children."

"I'm going to live forever. If you don't believe that, read John 3:16."

Spirit in the Sky

Of the ones I knew, four of my schoolmates didn't make it back, but I'm sure there were more. When I touched the names inscribed on the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C., that's when I wept. One lived on one end of my street, and another at the other "T" end of my street. Richard and Donald, they were older--the oldest brothers in each family. Then there was one classmate who had argued as a "hawk" and another as a "dove" in government class. Neither Tom nor Robert returned. Our neighbor's brother made it back. I had a date with him the summer he returned. We laughed so much.

Stairway To Heaven, sung by Dolly Parton

http://www.imeem.com/ralphmanuel/music/L37-SCa6/dolly-parton-stairway-to-heaven/ There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to heaven When she gets there she knows if the stores are all closed, With a word she can get what she came for Ooh, a stairway to heaven There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure 'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings In a tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings, Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven Oh-oh, makes me wonder. I wonder; I really, really wonder There's a feelin’ I get when I look to the west And my spirit is crying for leavin’ In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees And the voices of those who stand lookin’ Ooh. It's whispered that soon if we all call the tune Then the piper will lead us to reason, And a new day will dawn for those who stand long And the forests will echo with laughter Oh-oh-oh-oh, Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh If there's a bustle in your hedgerow don't be alarmed now. It's just a spring clean for the May queen Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run There's still some time to change the road you're on Oh, it makes me wonder Your head is hummin’ and it won't go in case you don't know, The piper's callin’ you to join him Oh, can you hear the wind blow And did you know your stairway lies upon the whisperin’ wind Stairway to heaven, stairway to heaven You can’t buy it, you can’t borrow You’ve got to walk it straight and narrow Stairway to heaven, stairway to heaven, stairway to heaven And as we walk on down the road Our shadows longer than our souls, All that glitters is not gold Wanna be a rock and not a roll Oh, the great almighty dollar leaves you lonely, lost and hollow You can’t fool yourself forever You gotta work to get to heaven Stairway to heaven. If we listen and hold fast To every question that we asked The truth will come to us at last And she’s buying a stairway to heaven

Tiny Songs in Heaven

"Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And yet not one of them is forgotten or uncared for in the presence of God.

Do not be anxious and troubled . . .

Consider the birds; for they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn; and yet God feeds them. Of how much more worth are you than the birds!

Consider the flowers, how they grow. They neither wearily toil nor spin nor weave; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his splendor and magnificence was not arrayed like one of these."

Luke 12:6, 22, 24, 26

The Langley Schools Music Project

(Hear it at Barnes & Noble) How it came to be a beloved and critically acclaimed hit out of "nowhere" :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVycW8BPuQI&feature=related

The Langley Schools Music Project is a 60-voice chorus of rural school children from western Canada, untrained but captivated by melodic magic, singing tunes by the Beach Boys, Paul McCartney, David Bowie, The Bay City Rollers, and others. The students accompany themselves with the shimmering gamelan chimes of Orff percussion, and elemental rock trimmings arranged by their itinerant music teacher, Hans Fenger.

Amazing Grace

"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear,
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come.
T'was Grace that brought me safe thus far
And Grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun."

That Lucky Old Sun

Up in the morning, out on the job
work like a devil for my pay
And that lucky old sun ain't got nothing to do
but roll around heaven all day . . .
Dear Lord above can't you see I'm cryin'
tears are in my eyes
Send down the cloud with that silvery lining
take me to paradise
Show me that river and lead me across,
take all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun give me nothing to do
but roll around heaven all day
But roll around heaven all day

MY EVERGREEN

Summer smiles but passes on
Autumn sings her lonely song
The robin waits for spring
But what will waiting bring
Winter spreads her blanket down
White and flawless on the ground
The flowers can’t be seen
But you’re my evergreen
Cold north wind has come around
Fragile ones stay underground
But there is one who thrives
Despite the chilling sky
The one I love is constant, though
Seasons come and seasons go
She will abide with me
My darling evergreen
The one I love is constant, though
Seasons come and seasons go
She will abide with me
My darling evergreen
