Back Home Again.
There’s a storm across the valley, clouds are rolling in, The afternoon is heavy on your shoulders. There’s a truck out on the four lane a mile or more away, The whining of his wheels just makes it colder. He’s an hour away from riding on your prayers up in the sky, And ten days on the road are barely gone. There’s a fire softly burning, supper’s on the stove, But it’s the light in your eyes that makes him warm. And hey it’s good to be back home again. Sometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friend, Yes ‘n’ hey, it’s good to be back home again. There’s all the news to tell him, how’d you spend your time, What’s the latest news the neighbours say. And your mother called last Friday, sunshine made her cry. You felt the baby move just yesterday. Hey it’s good to be back home again. Sometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friend, Yes ‘n’ hey, it’s good to be back home again. And oh the time that I can lay this tired old body down, And feel your fingers feather soft upon me. The kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way, The happiness that living with you brings me, And it’s the sweetest thing I know of, just spending time with you. It’s the little things that make a house a home. Like a fire softly burning, supper on the stove And the light in your eyes that makes me warm. And hey it’s good to be back home again – yes it is. Sometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friend, Yes ‘n’ hey, it’s good to be back home again. I said hey it’s good to be back home again.

I’m No Stranger To The Rain.
I’m no stranger to the rain, I’m a friend of thunder, Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me? I’ve fought with the devil, Got down on his level, But I never gave in, so he gave up on me. I’m no stranger to the rain. I can spot bad weather, And I’m good at finding shelter in a downpour. I’ve been sacrificed by brothers, Crucified for lovers, But through it all, I withstood the pain. I’m no stranger to the rain. When I get that foggy feeling, The one I’m feeling now, If I don’t keep my head up, I may drown, But it’s hard to keep believing, I’ll even come out even, While the rain beats a hole in the ground, And tonight, it’s really coming down, I’m no stranger to the rain, But there’ll always be tomorrow, And I’ll beg, steal, or borrow a little sunshine, And I’ll put this cloud behind me, That’s how the man designed me, To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane, I’m no stranger to the rain. Oh, no, I’m no stranger to the rain.
Lyrics: By Edith Temple with music by Reginald Morgan first published in 1946. Vocals: By Welsh singer, radio and television presenter and actor Aled Jones.
“Count Your Blessings”.
Count your blessings one by one, When dawn appears and day has just begun. They will light your heart with happiness, Make each hour bright and bring you gladness.
Count your blessings one by one, When twilight falls and toil of day is done, And in sweet dreams they’ll come again to you, If you will count your blessings each day through.
Count your blessings while you may, For we are here but little time to stay. All around are hearts sincere and true, Lovely things abound just waiting for you.
Count your blessings while you may, The big or small, whichever comes your way. For then you’ll find this world a place of love, If you will count your blessings from above.
“Times They Are A Changing”. (Extract from a song written and recorded by Bob Dylan back in 1964.)
“Come writers and critics, who prophesize with your pen, And keep your eyes wide, the chance won’t come again, And don’t speak too soon for the wheel’s still in spin. And there’s no tellin’ who that it’s namin’, For the loser now will be later to win, For the times they are a-changin’.”

God’s Coloring Book.
Today as I was walking, In the fields just down the way. I sat down on a fallen log, To pass the time away, And as I looked around me, The more that I did look, The more I realize that I was viewing, God’s coloring book. I saw a golden ray of sunlight, A silver drop of dew, A soft, white floating cloud, Sailing cross the sky of blue, A yellow dandelion, A pretty evergreen, And some red and orange flowers, Growing wild along the stream, And the more I look around me, And the more that I do look, The more I realize that I was viewing, God’s coloring book. The greyness in an old man’s hair, The pink in baby’s cheeks, The blackness in a stormy sky, The brown in fallen leaves, And the multicolored rainbow, Stretched across the sky, And the purple haze at sunset, Just before the night. And the more I look around me, The more that I do look, The more I realize that I am viewing, God’s coloring book. Then I turn my face toward the sky, And say a silent prayer. And though God doesn’t speak to me, I see him everywhere, He is all around me. He’s everywhere I look, And each new day is but a new page, In God’s coloring book. Yes, each new day is but a new page In God’s coloring book.
