Standing on the Edge of Darkness, Do you see the Light?
Although the Enemy surrounds you, You will be All-right.
The Image of a Brighter Day, will Be with you Tonight,
To God the Father each we Pray: Guard us Through this Night,
'Till Morning brings the Promise of Forgotten Dreams,
And the Love that it Seems that we All truly Need.
His Love is like a tiny Flower,
which will be Blooming in your Hands,
So, dream your Dreams of Ageless Wonder,
and Castles in the Sand.
Kneeling now to Greet the ‘Morrow, Feel the Stream of Life,
Cleansing All of Death and Sorrow, Sacrament Sublime.
Years from now you'll Know the Day, He Came into your Life:
To God the Father each we Pray: Receive this Child of Light.
Accept his Soul that he might see Eternity,
That his Whole Life will be truly Pleasing to Thee.
And as we Stand Together Now,
Sharing the Love within our Heart:
Listen, the Morning sings for Joy,
and the Heavenly Host Replies:

I call you My children and I AM,
a Father Who Loves you as a man:
who Awakens one Morning
to Behold what he's Made,
and Discovers Infinity, a Timeless Promenade.
It's the Song of Creation, it's the Life that I Bring:
in My Image and Likeness were you Born,
and Through you will Freedom Ring.
Oh, one Day you'll be Sighing,
on your Upward Climb You’ll See:
when The Way becomes Narrow,
I will Give You Faith to Follow,
at the End of your Journey you'll find Me
at the End of your Journey you'll find Me
Now sometimes you see Me as The Son,
the Gift to a People as the Chosen One.
You were Lonely and Crying,
at the Mess that you'd Made,
so, I Called to My Father, and the Ransom I Paid.
It's a Mystery Unfolding, it's the Song that I Sing:
through the Eyes of your Neighbor do I Come,
and to you My Presence Bring.
Oh, one Day you'll be Crying,
and the Time will come to Be:
when I'll Tap you on the Shoulder
and your Hope will grow Bolder,
and the Truth will set you Free,
and My Truth will set you Free.
And Sometimes you see Me as a Dove:
the Spirit of Sharing which is Love.
And if you Want to Fly with Me,
here is What you must Do:
Listen Brothers and Sisters, I'm Talking to you.
Give Yourselves to each Other
Share your Love share your Hearts.
Use the Gifts you've been Given,
Be a Channel of Love from the Heart.
Oh, one Day you'll be Laughing,
and your Seeds of Charity Will Bloom:
through the People around you
you will See that I have Found you,
and the Image of My Love will be in you,
and the Image of My Love will be you.

As surely as Sunshine is Warm,
I have felt your Heart searching for Me,
in Looking for Someone
to Share the bright Colors of Dawn with.
Come to Me now with these People You Love,
together I'll show you The Way:
to Seek out the Truth you can Share in your Souls
past the End of the Day that Eternity Passes Away.
I See you more Clearly
than Shimmering Moonlight in Springtime,
Off and Away you can Fly
with my Joy as your Heart's Song.
Now that you've Taken me into your Lives,
do you See how you've set yourself Free:
by Choosing to Share with Eternity's Children,
this Banquet of Joy which is Filled with more Life than the Sea.
Kneeling alone to Drink
from the Spring of Salvation,
the Spirit Which Brings Us Together
is Singing in Fresh, clean Water.
You've only to Ask and I'll be there for you,
Infinity's Hymn is for Love to come True:
our Journey Forever begins at this Table,
Rejoice at the Mystery of Life which you've helped to Renew.

Now when you Recognize Me
when I come into your Presence,
will you Listen to these Words
I have to Say to you:
That I am Here beside you
every Minute of the Day
and all that I will ever ask of you:
is to Love Me, will you Try?
you for Whom I hung upon
the Cross to Die.
Will you Laugh?
Will you Cry?
Will you Hold My Hand in Yours
until you Die?

Hush little Baby and don't you Cry,
you know your Mamma, she was Born to Die,
All my Trials Lord, soon be Over.
I had a little Book was Given to me,
and Every Page, spelled Liberty,
All my Trials Lord, soon be Over.
Too late my Brothers, but Never Mind,
All my Trials Lord, soon be Over.
The River Jordan is Chilly and Cold,
it Chills the Body, but it Warms the Soul,
All my Trials Lord, soon be Over.
There is a Tree in Paradise,
and the Pilgrims call it, the Tree of Life,
All my Trials Lord, soon be Over.
Too late my Brothers, too late but Never Mind,
All my Trials Lord, soon be Over.

CHORUS
We will Stand up Together,
in the Unity of God.
We will Stand up Together,
to Show our Children Love.
We will Stand up Together,
to Face the World Today.
We will Stand up Together,
and through Jesus' Heart We Pray:
There Is no Human Progress,
when Everything Conspires:
To give Full Reign to Instincts,
of Self-interest, Lust and Power.
We must Find a Simple Way to Live,
to Serve Humanity:
We must Open to our Brothers,
and our Sisters who have Needs
CHORUS
We are Troubled by Reports,
of Destructive Weaponry:
And as Christians we're Divided,
we're not yet One Family.
But we Reaffirm the Right to Life,
of Children, yet Unborn:
Help us Jesus gentle Savior,
to withstand the World's Scorn
CHORUS
Faced with All Life's Disappointments Lord,
we Slip and often Fall:
But with Your Help and Intercession,
we can Answer to Your Call:
To Resist Manipulation,
and All the World holds Dear.
Gentle Father shed Your Wisdom,
on Your People gathered Here.
CHORUS

We'll all go Down to the Place
by the River of Life:
where we'll See
the Savior in His Glory,
And He'll look at You,
through the Eyes of the Giver of Life:
then you'll See
the Love that is His Story.
Will you Run
Will you Hide,
Will you Laugh
or Will You Cry?
Will you Fall
on your Knees,
From the Feeling
Inside you?
When you See that the Choice
that you've Made with your Living:
is the Answer You Take
to His Heart which is Love.
As He Offers His Life
to the Children who are Willing:
will You Finally Glad
be Chosen from Above?
Eternity can be Yours:
an End to all your Sorrow.
Well it might Be a million Years,
or It could be Tomorrow:
When We'll all go Down to the Place
by the River of Life
where we'll See
the Savior in His Glory . . .

These 10 Songs are a Testament to the fifty years I have spent as a music minister for the Catholic Church. They include Prophesies that I was touched with Directly by the Holy Spirit, Lullabies I used to hum to my three children when they were too young to understand, and a Hymn I was Inspired to write using the Verbatim quotes from Pope John Paul the Second's first Sermon given at his First Mass as Bishop of Rome. I recorded this album in the Fall of 1998 in my Conference Room at Resch Engineering, Inc. originally as a gift to my three children so that after I leave this world, they would know exactly what I believed in. Later, after some reflection, I decided that this Album was my gift to the world to be shared by anyone who was searching for the Truth.
released February 9, 2017
I owe this Album to the hundreds of thousands of Mass Attendees who sang along with me and the members of the Folk Mass Groups who accepted my Leadership Role in their lives who taught me things about serving our Lord that I couldn't have found out any other way.
