Oh beautiful Magnolia, you’re blossoming again. It’s early Spring and there you are, like you have always been. Your glorious Spring time beauty is wondrous to behold, But it is such a little while until your blossoms fold.
It only seems a day or two from when you’re in full bloom, That petals start to flutter down and leave me with sad gloom. The reason I feel gloomy is that just once each year, I see your gentle beauty, then wait another year.
Upon this wondrous earth of ours are many lovely things. In spring I marveled at the sights the kind your beauty brings. Oh beautiful magnolia, you are by Heaven blessed. Spring time has many wonders, but you’re one of the best.

The Goodness Of God
I love You, Lord, For Your mercy never fails me, All my days, I’ve been held in Your hands, From the moment that I wake up, Til I lay my head, Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God.
Chorus.
Though my life, You have been faithful Though my life, You have been so, so good With every breath that I am able Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God.
I love Your voice, You have led me through the fire, In darkest nights, You are close like no other. I’ve known You as a father, I’ve known You as a friend, And I have lived in the goodness of God.
Repeat Chorus.
Your goodness is running after, running after me. Your goodness is running after, running after me. With my life laid down, I surrender now, I give You everything. Oh Lord Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me. Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me. With my life laid down, I surrender now, I give You everything, Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me.
Words for Life written in 1927 by American writer, Attorney and businessman Max Ehrmann (1872 – 1945)
The Late Max Ehrmann
“Desiderata”
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. END

The lyrics convey the love felt by two people separated by vast distances, but cheered by the belief that their love will eventually reunite them to be with each other once again.
Somewhere Out There.
Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight, Someone’s thinking of me and loving me tonight. Somewhere out there someone’s saying a prayer, That we’ll find one another in that big somewhere out there. And even though I know how very far apart we are, It helps to think we might be wishin’ on the same bright star, And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby, It helps to think we’re sleeping underneath the same big sky. Somewhere out there, if love can see us through, Then we’ll be together somewhere out there, Out where dreams come true. And even though I know how very far apart we are, It helps to think we might be wishin’ on the same bright star, And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby, It helps to think we’re sleeping underneath the same big sky. Somewhere out there, if love can see us through, Then we’ll be together somewhere out there, Out where dreams come true.
Vocals: 13 Grammy Awards American blues singer, guitarist, and songwriter Bonnie Lynn Raitt. Lyrics: American singer-songwriter, arranger, composer, conductor and pianist, Randall Stuart Newman.

Feels Like Home.
Something in your eyes, makes me want to lose myself, Makes me want to lose myself, in your arms. There’s something in your voice, makes my heart beat fast, Hope this feeling lasts, the rest of my life. If you knew how lonely my life has been, And how low I’ve felt so alone. If you knew how I wanted someone to come along, And change my life the way you’ve done.
Feels like home to me, feels like home to me, Feels like I’m on my way back where I come from. Feels like home to me, feels like home to me, Feels like I’m on my way back where I belong.
A window breaks down a long dark street, And a siren wails over my head. But I’m all right, ’cause I have you here with me, And I can almost see through the dark there’s light. If you knew how much this moment means to me, And how long I’ve waited for your touch. If you knew how happy you are making me, I’ve never thought I’d love anyone so much.
Feels like home to me, feels like home to me, Feels like I’m on my way back where I come from. Feels like home to me, feels like home to me, Feels like I’m on my way back where I belong. Feels like I’m on my way back where I belong.
