Lord Won't You Come and Visit Me Tonight: This was the last song I wrote before converting to Christianity in December, 1975.
Sittin' alone in my living room no place to go, got nothing to do I've been alone the last hour or two It makes me lonesome, I don't know why I've got friends who come dropping by yet they leave and evening comes, and I'm alone Lord won't you come and visit me tonight if you've a mind to, I think that I'd like to and maybe we could arrange for you to spend some time won't you come please, and give me peace of mind La, la, la . . . Thinking of the things that could be wrong I'll start my car and drive to town I know some folks I can hang around My friends help me so yet they come and then they go and the peace I need's got to live in my soul Lord won't you come and visit me tonight if you've a mind to, I think that I'd like to and maybe we could arrange for you to spend some time won't you come please, and give me peace of mind La, la, la . . . Lord won't you come and visit me tonight if you've a mind to, I think that I'd like to and maybe we could arrange for you to spend some time won't you come please, and give me peace of mind
Thank You Lord: This was the first song written after conversion.
Thank You Lord I’d just like to take some time to say thank you Lord for everything you’ve done for me You have taught my voice to sing, my heart lies peaceful among your liberties And the joy that knows no boundaries, that journeys forth through all eternity the joy that knows no boundaries, The joy and peace and love that you’ve brought into my life, that is my guiding light, that’s come to set me right and I’ve got freedom in the Lord, I’ve got freedom in the Lord, I’ve got freedom in the Lord And I’d just like to take some time to say I appreciate knowing that you care And that it’s such a comfort knowing you’ll never leave me, you’ll always be there To share all the burdens that do so easily beset me, to share all my burdens And God the Almighty is in love with me, God the Almighty is love in me, God the Almighty loves me And I’d just like to take some time to say thank you Lord for everything you’ve done for me
