Love Is So Much More

Love is something largely misunderstood by many people. Love is not something you just get or something you should expect. Love is a verb more than a feeling. Love grows as we serve. One should not just sit around and expect love to come. Love takes work. Love takes effort. As one gives to others with love, one will feel love. I meet many people in life who are depressed. They believe that going to a counselor and spending tons of money on medicine or therapy is going to fix their problems. Well they may learn something. I do not underestimate that but I do not feel that doing those things is a cure for these people. These people need to step outside of their own lives and start noticing how they can help others. As they do this, they will find the happiness they seek.

Verse 1
When your heart is empty
Or you're feeling down
Then step away from the mirror
And start looking around
At all the lonely people
Struggling to survive
You can make a difference in each of their lives

Verse 2
So when your world is lonely
Or when your skies are grey
Then share your love with others
And help them find their way
Then the sun will shine through
And chase the clouds away
And you will be happy
All your days

Chorus
Because Love isn't Love until you give it away
Love is so much more
It's never keeping score
So give your love away
It will be back someday
I promise you
I know it's true

Love Can Remain

Families are precious. Families are falling apart around the world. I wrote this song because I believe family is the central unit of society. It is the glue that keeps everything together. One must strive with all their heart to keep this unit alive no matter what. The answer to this quest is first commitment. Staying committed no matter what happens. Deciding now that no matter what difficulty lies ahead that a couple will stay together. Forgiveness is vital in marriage. No one is perfect. People make mistakes. The next important point to remember is that love is a verb. Not something you expect your spouse to just hand you like a noun. Love takes effort. It takes work. If one does not love their spouse then one must first look inside and find out what needs to change instead of expecting the spouse to change. Love grows through service. I cannot stress that enough. I repeat, your love will grow as you serve your spouse and others.

Verse 1
Hearts grown cold as ice
Frozen in time
There's no pulse
Or heartbeat anymore
People so cold
Leaving one another
For something more
Something more

Verse 2
Hearts grown cold as ice
Tearing love apart
Children suffering in the dark
Their dreams are shattered
Nightmares born
You can protect them from this storm

Verse 3
Hearts grown cold as ice
Families torn apart
Society left stumbling in the dark
But there's a way to revive love again
It doesn't have to end

Chorus
With a little forgiveness
Love can go a long long way
And commitment
Can change the night to day
In this big world where nothing stays the same
Your love can remain

Like the sun shines through a storm and washes it away
Love can melt a cold cold heart and bring it back to stay

I wrote the song Face to Face because I wanted to write the perfect love song for how a relationship should be. A relationship where there is one man and one woman who are in love and committed to one another and cherish one another forever.

Verse 1
Here we are again standing face to face
All the memories come rushing through me like gravity
Pulling me back to you

Verse 2
Holding you close in my arms again
Reminds me of the way things used to be
When we were together

Verse 3
I wanna stop the clock when I'm with you
but let these dreams go on and on and on
Make them last forever
Make them last forever and ever

Chorus
Cause I have always loved you
There's no one above you
I just wanna hold you till I die
You've got me wrapped around your finger
Please just let it linger
I could never bear to say goodbye
Cause you're all that I want
And you're all that I need
Cause you're all that I want
And you're all that I need
You are a miracle
You are a miracle
To me
