A Song for 2008

I wrote this last December after a tough year for us all.  New one coming in a couple weeks for 2009





For Jan, I'm in Like With You.

Sometimes, I love you isn't enough.







I love the way you brush your hair

I love the way you curve your smile

I love the way you touch my hand

the way you find your own style

i love the  way you hold your hips

I love the softness of your lips

almost everything you do

cause baby I'm in like with you

I love the way your legs are long

I love the small of your back

I love the darkness of your eyes

and the whiteness of your neck

I love the softness of your voice

I love the way your body's joined

I'm addicted through and through

cause baby I'm in like with you

(bridge)

Cause baby, you're the one for me

it took me too long to see

that we were made for each other

hand in hand along for the ride

like God took a rib out from my side

I love the way your closeness smells

I love the the color of your skin

I love the the way your hair falls down

and all the places that we've been

I love your arms around my neck

i love our quick goodbye pecks

I love all the things that are you

cause baby I'm in like with you

bridge

I love the clothes that you wear

I love the secrets that we share

i love the bigness of your heart

the way you always seem to care

I love it when we reunite

I love our cool walks in the night

all I know about you

cause Baby I'm in like with you

I'm addicted through and through

Cause baby, I'm in like with you

A song about healing

Healing song  - Rob Barrett

Healing Song for Wendy, demo

This was written for my friend who has already had a really tough year and just found out she has cancer.

We're not asking you to part the ocean

we're not asking  you to stop the sun

we're not asking  you feed the thousands

or for our will to  be done

we're not asking you to send down manna

we're not asking that you still the storm

we're not asking that you walk on water

or that the veil be torn

You told us to ask and to believe

so we're asking you to receive

(chorus)

your smallest touch

your gentle breeze

to make our sister Wendy clean

your little finger

reaching down

to make things right

with your light

and heal

we're not asking you to end hunger

we're not asking for world peace

we're not asking you to stop the fighting

or to make dissension cease

We're not asking for world revival

we're not asking you for Godly kings

we're not asking you for your arrival

or the end of worldly things

but You told us to ask and to believe

so we're asking you to receive

(chorus)

Like your Son we pray

your will not ours

but stay with her

and carry her

through tough days and long hours

(chorus)
