Does your good
outweigh the bad
Is the balance
happy or sad
Is your intention
right or wrong
Does your prayer
turn into song
Does the blame
weigh down your heart
Can your light
outshine the dark
Can the joy
exceed the pain
Does one word
your soul reclaim
Will His grace
forgive your sins
Will new life or death
—begin

Of You And Me
There was a time when I was worth knowing
before the pain took over
There was a time with joy overflowing
my wishes steeped in clover
There was a time you knew unfurled
my love abounding free
There was a time when all the world
—was made of you and me
