Please show me the way.

Dear Jesus, my Savior,

My friend, my Lord -

You’re all all that I want

And all that I need.

Take me with you, O Lord,

Carry me through

For in you, only in you,

Can I find my peace.

Keep me in your goodness, Lord,

This I pray

Yes in you, only in you

Can I find my peace.

Take good care of me.

Now we both belong

We must never part

You are always in my heart.

Reminiscing

((( Reminiscing )))

Words and music by J. Roel Lungay

[Dedicated to all my friends with PUPPIES, Ltd.]

1

It seems like only yesterday

When I wrote my very first song

I still remember how I felt

When I struck that very first chord.

* * *

2

I fell in love with the melody

That I still hold today

The words so full of memories

Of how life used to be.

* * *

Refrain 1

We’ve walked through life so slowly

But we’ve wandered far and free

We we’re diff’rent and so crazy

No moments dull and gray.

* * *

3

Remember how we used to sing

And serenade the girls

We drowned ourselves in booze and beers

Until the break of day.

* * *

4

Our lives were full of hopes and dreams

But we didn’t really care

The "clouds of non-existence" (poyos!)

By then had wrapped our minds and wills.

Coda

We’ve traveled life so easy

We’ve wandered fancy-free

Outrageous and so silly

So diffrent from today…
