What I Want This To Accomplish

I love music. I love all kinds of music. I love a good melody and I love good lyrics. Here's the thing. Too often I have noticed people getting lost in the melodic side of a song and never listen to the lyrics, the message that the songwriter is trying to share with the listener. Words mean things and there are a lot of songs out there with great lyrics. Here you will find love and hurt, pain and longing, emotions and intimate thoughts from songwriters over the years. There will be no commentary from me on the lyrics. Just the words. The words for you to read, process and ponder and hopefully come away with a little more meaning to a song than just a lovely melody. A more complete understanding of where the artist is coming from. - Bill Clark

O FOR A THOUSAND TONGUES TO SING

O for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer's praise,
My great Redeemer's praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of His grace,
The triumphs of His grace,
The triumphs of His grace.

My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread thro' all the earth abroad
The honors of Thy name,
The honors of Thy name,
The honors of Thy name.

Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease,
That bids our sorrows cease;
'Tis music in the sinner's ears,
'Tis life, and health, and peace,
'Tis life, and health, and peace,
'Tis life, and health, and peace.

He breaks the pow'r of canceled sin,
He sets the pris'ner free,
He sets the pris'ner free.
His blood can make the foulest clean,
His blood availed for me,
His blood availed for me,
His blood availed for me.
