                                                      We Stand
(original words)


Verse 1. Do we run or do we fight. Do we join a world as it slips into an endless night.
There’ll be no compromise no neutral land. It’s time to plant our feet to make
our stand.

Chorus: We stand in the power of the Son of Man.
We stand on the promise of a promised land.
We stand in a strength that is not our own,
For the glory of the Lamb we stand, we stand.

Verse 2. Ten thousand angels stand beside me, at my back ten thousand more.
We hold firm as Satan’s armies, crash like waves upon our shore.

Bridge: There’ll be no victory, for the devils dark command.
The line was held that day by those who chose to stand.

Chorus

Verse 3. No quarter asked no quarter given. They fall like wheat before the sword.
Back into the pit they’re driven by the faithful of the Lord.
And on that glorious day, then all the world will see.
We’ll stand before the throne, proclaiming victory.

Chorus:
Repeat:

Back on My Knees Again

BACK ON MY KNEES AGAIN


I laughed when others spoke your name.

One more regret to this debt of shame.

Defiant, the willful heart remains,

So here I am, back on my knees again.



The humble heart is never turned away.

No soul too lost to ever be reclaimed.

We were washed when his blood fell like rain.

Now here I am, back on my knees again.



Lord, I’ve done all that I can.

The battle’s lost in the strength of mortal man.

Reckless heart, too wild for me to tame.

Here I am, back on my knees again.



Here I am, back on my knees again.

Word and Music by Jim Bain

One of my songs that I am working to get recorded.  Not sure about anyone else, but I seem to relate to this song all too often.  Why are we so easily distracted from our purpose in life and needing to ask for forgiveness all to often for me.

Angels Grew Restless (Renee's Song)

Our family has suffered a loss this week. My sister lost her battle with cancer on Wednesday night. She was a wonderful sister, mother, wife, grand and greatgrandmother. She will be missed greatly.

I wrote a song for her a few years ago for her youngest daughter that died way to early at four years old when I was about 16 years old. When we were at the graveyard one of my other sisters and I were walking around and reading some of the gravestones. We found one that had an Angel on it for a child that had died. The inscription on the gravestone read "Angels Grew Restless" I have never forgotten that inscription and always think of it when I think about my sister and her family. I want to dedicate this song to my sister Bev as I remember her now.

The Angels Grew Restless

(Renee’s Song)

I held you in my arms, and I felt you slip away
Sat staring out the window, for the rest of the day
I’ve cried my eyes dry, and I’m just to numb to pray

I guess the Angels grew restless, and called you to play

I wander through these halls, and I sometimes hear your voice
I seem to go on living; I guess I don’t have a choice
My friends they try to talk to me, they don’t know what to say

I guess the Angels grew restless, and called you to play

Lord, I shock my fist to heaven, and demanded you explain
You’ve asked me to sacrifice, what I could not give away
Though I waited for an answer, all I heard was the falling rain

I guess the Angels grew restless
The Angels grew restless

Now a peace indwells my soul, where once was only pain
Lord you blessed my memories, so only the good remain
One day I’ll see her smiling, standing at the gate

When the Angels grow restless, and call me to play
When the Angels grow restless, and call me to play

Let It Be To Praise, My song about worship.

Let It Be To Praise

If silence finds the better prayer
Then still my tongue Lord and I won’t speak
I’ll wait for you in that quiet place
And by your grace you’ll meet me there

And when I lift my voice
Let it be to sing, let it be to praise X 2

If pride should lead my feet to stand
Lord, steal my strength and let me fall
And with that gentle reprimand
Remind me that you’re Lord of all

And when I stand
Let it be to dance
Let it be to praise X 2

When angles come to call me home
When I am old and full of days
And Heaven glows with golden light
God’s glory sets the skies ablaze

And we will sing, We will dance
We will praise X 3

Words and music by James Bain


For verse two I had penciled out a little different verse. It's interesting how the writing process goes. You have a thought hear and there, and with some tweaking you end up with something that make some sense to you at least. Here is the original phrase:

And if I stand in reckless pride
Steal my strength and let me fall
Back to my knees where I belong,
Reminded that you're Lord of all

We Sail On

Jim is a professional artist and has been drawing ships for his wife, Sonja, for years.  His song We sail on is a song about putting your faith in Jesus to guide your life even if the waters look choppy. I think you will find the lyrics to this song very poetic and the free download is this song with Jim and his acoustic guitar work.  Thank you for checking out the web site and I hope that you enjoy the song.

We Sail On

We set our sails by an evening star.
And my Captain knows just where we are.

And we sail on.
With a Captain brave and a ship that’s strong.
We sail on.
But our safe harbor lies beyond.
So we sail on.

I hear the world call out to me
“Enjoy the treasures of our lee”
Forget the cost, the pleasures free.

And we sail on.
With a Captain brave and a ship that’s strong.
We sail on.
But our safe harbor lies beyond.
So we sail on.

The wind calls out its siren song.
Of a world to which, I don’t belong.
So we sail on.
My Captain says sail on

With a Captain brave and a ship that’s strong.
We sail on.
But our safe harbor lies beyond.
So we sail on.

“Let It Rain” My first song.

Jim Bain

Let It Rain

I’ve been wandering this desert, it seems like forever.
So dusty and dry, blown around like a feather.
I look to the sky; I see no change in the weather.

Let it rain. Let it rain

I’ve spent most of my life tryin’ to put myself first.
And I was taken by surprise when the bubble burst.
Now I realize that I’m dyin’ of thirst.

Let it rain, let it rain

Let it rain like a river rushing over my head.
Like Lazarus raise me up from the dead.
I choose to follow though not easily lead.
I’m back on the path again.

Let it rain. Let it rain.

I’ve been wand’ring this desert, it seems like forever.
So dusty and dry, I’m blown around like a feather.
I look to the sky; I see a change in the weather.
Did I feel a drop of rain?

Let it rain. Let it rain.

Let it rain like a river rushing over my head
Like Lazarus raise me up from the dead.
I choose to follow though not easily lead.
I’m back on the path again.
.
Let it rain. Let it rain.
