Come Home My Trembling Child / Dale Golden Sr. / BMI

Before the world
Before the clouds or rain
Before the stars appeared
I fully knew your name
I called you mine
Before you drew a breath
Draw nigh to me, dear one
Now in your mortal death

Come home, my trembling child
Now hear your master call
Upon my mighty wings
You shall not ever fall
Sorrow awaits no more
Come rest with me awhile
I am your holy God
Come home, my trembling child

As twighlight dims
And memories fade away
Arise reborn into
A never ending day
Eternity
Is now my gift to you
Weep no more tears, dear one
My glory’s now in view

Come home, my trembling child
Now hear your master call
Upon my mighty wings
You shall not ever fall
Sorrow awaits no more
Come rest with me awhile
I am your holy God
Come home, my trembling child

In awesome power hear
Angelic chorus ring
In fullest wonder know
I am your everything

Come home, my trembling child
Now hear your master call
Upon my mighty wings
You shall not ever fall
Sorrow awaits no more
Come rest with me awhile
I am your holy God
Come home, my trembling child

Sorrow awaits no more
Come rest with me awhile
I am your holy God
Come home, my trembling child

For My Father's Eyes / Dale Golden Sr. / BMI

Heaven’s sweetest rose was blooming on Golgotha
No place for such a lovely sight as he
Yet still, he sought to honor God the father
So too, might I wherever I may be

Some flowers bloom in places
Where no eye shall ever view
In shallow soil, hot desert sand
Or gardens seen by few
And thus I shall obey God’s will
And humbly recognize
I am growing in his likeness
And created for my fathers’ eyes

Though harsh may be my only circumstances
I still resolve to serve christ everyday
To flourish and to permeate his fragrance
And glorify his presence come what may

Yes, some flowers bloom in places
Where no eye shall ever view
In shallow soil, hot desert sand
Or gardens seen by few
And thus I shall obey God’s will
And humbly recognize
I am growing in his likeness
And created for my fathers’ eyes

And thus I shall obey God’s will
And humbly recognize
I am growing in his likeness
And created for my fathers’ eyes

I Will Answer His Call / Dale Golden Sr. / BMI

While out on the water as waves crashed around them
God’s men were frightened and weakened by fear
Kept from their journey by life’s circumstances
They feared deliverance might never appear
Then in the tempest, a figure drew near them,
With calming words, saying “be not afraid”
Rescued though doubting, the Lord said to Peter
“doubt not” as all the winds ceased to rage

I will answer his call
I will answer his call
When storm clouds have gathered, though tossed, torn or tattered
From dark skies if lightning should fall
I will answer his call
Yes, I will answer his call

Just like the men on that boat in the windstorm
I too have oft’ been found doubting God’s word
Searching for strength as the storm comes against me
Yet, ‘midst the thunder his still voice was heard
I must resolve to obey when God calls me
With willing heart follow his every command
Serving him faithfully, trusting completely
Knowing that I can’t be snatched from his hand

I will answer his call

Marching Into Canaanland / Dale Golden Sr. / BMI

I’m a pilgrim in a weary land
Searching in the desert sand
Wondering if I’ll ever find relief
It seems as though this dry, hot day
Grows hotter while I fade away
But there’s one thing for sure, that I believe

I am believing in the word of Jehovah God
On the mighty rock of ages I shall stand
I will abide in the presence of the great I am
As I go marching into Canaanland

With heaven’s manna he doth feed
And fills my every earthly need
With living water my thirst is consumed
And though the enemy awaits
To fashion my eternal fate
My God is strong enough to see me through
See me through

I am believing in the word of Jehovah God
On the mighty rocky of ages I shall stand
I will abide in the presence of the great I am
As I go marching into Canaanland

The land of milk and honey sweet
That my Lord has prepared for me
Is just another prayer away
Without a doubt, that’s why I say
That’s why I say

I am believing in the word of Jehovah God
On the mighty rock of ages I shall stand
I will abide in the presence of the great I am
As I go marching into Canaanland

As I go marching into Canaanland

Summer In My Soul / Dale Golden Sr. / BMI

I’m so amazed
At what you’ve done for me
Lord, through my many trials you are
My one security
I stand in awe
At how your love goes on and on
Though tossed about, it’s you
I fully lean upon

Even as
The stormy winds may toss and blow
Even as
The gray skies cry their icy flow
Even as
I shake and shiver in the cold
Thanks to you, my Lord
It’s summer in my soul

A better day
You’ve promised me to send
This season’s storm will cease to rage
And not return again
Then in the warmth
Of your sweet presence will I stand
And fully know you, Lord
in heaven’s fairest land

Even as
The stormy winds may toss and blow
Even as
The gray skies cry their icy flow
Even as
I shake and shiver in the cold
Thanks to you, my Lord
It’s summer in my soul

My faith in you has brought me to
This place of perfect rest
And in your arms of refuge
I can weather any test
Any test

Even as
The stormy winds may toss and blow
Even as
The gray skies cry their icy flow
Even as
I shake and shiver in the cold
Thanks to you, my Lord
It’s summer in my soul

Thanks to you, my Lord
It’s summer in my soul

Same Great God / Dale Golden Sr. / BMI

There are people in this world who say that God’s just not the same
As when paul went out preaching in Jesus’ holy name
They say everything’s just fine, they don’t need him here today
But soon every single knee shall bow and every tongue shall say

He’s the same great God that went out walking on the sea
He’s the same great God whose drop of blood set all men free
He’s the same source of power held in moses mighty rod
Let there be no doubt about it he’s the same great God

Friend, if you’ve never come to know the Lord just call upon his name
For he’s waiting to deliver you and wash away your blame
All the things he’s done for anyone he’ll do for you and me
So just open up your heart and I know you will agree

Same great God…he’s the bright and morning star
Same great God…who sees each sparrow from afar
Same great God…who never slumbers, never sleeps
Same great God…who so loved you and me

He’s the same source of power held in moses mighty rod
Let there be no doubt about it he’s the same great God
Same great God

Everything I'm Not / Dale Golden Sr. /Bmi

Am I not a weary wounded soldier?
Am I not a failure in your eyes?
Am I not a burden you must shoulder?
Everything I’m not, you surely recognize

My Jesus, am I not ungrateful of your kindness?
Am I not a pity, harsh and cold?
Am I not so awkward in my blindness?
Everything I’m not, you readily behold

Tell me how can you continue loving me?
Though in all I’ve done, I've failed you miserably
Such amazing grace you’ve given me thus far
For everything I’m not, my Lord, you are

Am I not the weakness you are strong for?
Am I not the lowest of the low?
Am I not the sinner you were wronged for?
Everything I’m not, so sadly you must know

My savior, am I not the pain of blood still flowing?
Am I not your cause of deepest shame?
Am I not the price of love though knowing?
Everything I’m not, yet dying just the same

Tell me how can you continue loving me?
Though in all I’ve done, I've failed you miserably
Such amazing grace you’ve given me thus far
For everything I’m not, my Lord, you are

Such amazing grace you’ve given me thus far
For everything I’m not, my Lord, you are
You are
My precious Lord Jehovah God
You are

He'll Make The Wine / Dale Golden Sr. / BMI

In the Bible we read the stories
Of God’s deliverance of man
And we hear of his great power
With mighty works on every hand

Those same miracles are waiting
Just have faith and you will receive
Obey his calling and never doubt him
He’s more than able if you believe

You draw the water
He’ll make the wine
You cast the shadow
He’ll heal the blind
He’ll make the lamplight
You let it shine
You draw the water
He’ll make the wine

There is reward in heaven’s promise
Of Lord Jehovah’s righteous might
So keep on sharing his wondrous story
Friend don’t ever give up the fight

If the deceiver should ever threaten
To make you turn and walk away
From God’s eternally flowing river
Where his next miracle awaits

You draw the water
He’ll make the wine
You cast the shadow
He’ll heal the blind
He’ll make the lamplight
You let it shine
You draw the water
He’ll make the wine

He’ll make the lamplight
You let it shine

I Will Fight On / Dale Golden Sr. / BMI

A shepherd boy stood all alone
His weapons but five little stones
in faith he fought with spirit strong
While in his heart rang zion’s song

I will fight on
Til’ the battle’s o’er
And the enemy
Shall arise no more
I will trust in God
And God alone
I shall not lose heart
And I will fight on

The wounds of life cut cold and deep
And triumphs mount is hard and steep
The shepherd’s Lord is my God, too
And I know he will see me through

So, I will fight on
Til’ the battle’s o’er
And the enemy
Shall arise no more
I will trust in God
And God alone
I shall not lose heart
And I will fight on

No earthly foe can hinder me
For with God there’s righteous victory

So, I will fight on
Til’ the battle’s o’er
And the enemy
Shall arise no more
I will trust in God
And God alone
I shall not lose heart
And I will fight on

I will trust in God
And God alone
I shall not lose heart
And I will fight on
I will fight on

Music To Your Ears / Dale Golden Sr. / BMI

In this world of sorrow
Where peace is seldom found
I’m so thankful that your mercy
Has me safe and homeward bound
Lord, no greater gift is offered
Than the grace you give to me
Though my words may sound so empty
May you find each one to be

Music to your ears my dear shepherd
Pleasing may you find it through the years
Though my song may not convey all I feel for you, I pray
That my praises be like music to your ears

This life is temporary
I’m only passing through
Soon, the day will come in heaven
When I’m finally home with you
There I’ll find such sweet contentment
In the shadow of your wing
May all heaven pause to listen
As I lift my voice to sing

Music to your ears my dear shepherd
Pleasing may you find it through the years
Though my song may not convey all I feel for you, I pray
That my praises be like music to your ears

Let the angels sound the trumpet
With the joy of the redeemed
May the shout resound for ages
As I worship you, my king

With music to your ears my dear shepherd
Pleasing may you find it through the years
Though my song may not convey all I feel for you, I pray
That my praises be like music to your ears

May my praises be like music to your ears

Music to your ears

Sunshine Smiles / Dale Golden Sr. / BMI

Last night I lay awake and watched you sleep
With your tiny hand in mine, in love so sweet
There, I marveled at your beauty and the goodness in your soul
And I thanked the Lord that you are mine to hold

It seems you just keep getting sweeter day by day
Child, I love you more than mortal words can say
My love, I pray that God will grant you all the riches of his world
Filled with days of hope and laughter, little girl

Sunshine smiles and starry eyes
Fill my dark days with rainbows in the skies
Like a tiny ballerina dancing in my fondest dreams
I could never ask for more than you, it seems
Sunshine smiles

Crawling up in bed with me most every night
Just to snuggle close beside me oh so tight
Silly tunes a billion hours and kiddie books a million more
But they’re not so bad with someone I adore

Your hugs and kisses when I walk through our front door
are some of few things I can say I’m living for
With the promise of perfection from the holy fathers will
May the years reveal you firm and faithful still

Sunshine smiles and starry eyes
Fill my dark days with rainbows in the skies
Like a tiny ballerina, dancing in my fondest dreams
I could never ask for more than you, it seems
Sunshine smiles

No greater joy, no greater peace
Than in your love I find
And though someday, you’ll grow away
Still, in my heart you’ll find

Sunshine smiles and starry eyes
Fill my dark days with rainbows in the skies
Like a tiny ballerina dancing in my fondest dreams
I could never ask for more than you, it seems
Sunshine smiles
Sunshine smiles
Sunshine smiles

Without My Dad / Dale Golden Sr./ BMI

Dear Lord, I know
You truly understand
What I am feeling
A mere “farewell”
Will never do
‘nor ere repay
The countless blessings
Of such a kind and gentle father
Whose loving kindnesses
Meant more than words can say

I want to thank you
For this gracious gift you gave me
It seems you knew just who I’d need
As time went by
Someone who’d love me
Without a single reservation
And whom for now
I lovingly must bid goodbye

Through my darkest night of struggle
Or my brightest sunny day
My daddy always kept believing
Never doubting, come what may
Standing faithfully beside me
Through the good times or the bad
Lord, tell me what will I do now, without my Dad?

My Lord, this pain
I feel at his
Earthly departure
Is small compared
To all the joy
Throughout the years
Presented me
by the life of one so cherished
Today I thankfully remember
With grateful tears

His selflessness
Will always be my inspiration
Such dedication to his family
Always revealed
The days ahead
Without his calming reassurance
Foretell of emptiness in my soul
That can’t be filled

Lord, tell me what will I do now, without my Dad?
