Lyrics: Gospel Music sing for me Sing of God and of Liberty A Gospel March for our Souls to hear Praise the Lord again. Used to be far between cities Now there's no space between towns We've cluttered the hills with houses and cars Second mortgaged and second hand loaned. Gospel Music sing for me Sing of God and of Liberty A Gospel March for our Souls to hear Praise the Lord again. Praises rise from sea to sea Lined with buildings and stripped of trees Rattle the saber to keep us free What have we undone? Gospel Music sing for me Sing of God and of Liberty A Gospel March for our Souls to hear Praise the Lord again. |

Most of the songs listend in this area are written by me. I have
been a musician since 1959. My first instrument was banging on my
grandmothers Steinway Baby Grand as a kid of 5-8 years old but that
doesn't count. My first official lessons were on the clarinet. With
that instrument and time I expanded to all reeds. for those uninitiated
this means things such as saxaphones (Baritone, Tenor, alto, soprano
etc) More Songs:
