So Begins Hope
So Begins Hope
by Michael Doyle
So begins hope for a golden age
We stand as we turn our page
Vowing in integrity to quench our thirst
Step by step, we'll make America first
As exceptional as America's past success
Truth in challenges is sought in tests
As we work to reestablish our trust
Of every pillar we believe in as we must
In the face of ongoing tragedy
We must join hands to fortify our country
Restoration of our honor and promise
Has come be faithfully reclaimed without compromise
An assassin's bullet would not stop the fight
To make America great again and bring light
Filled with hope that America will be great again
We walk in God's glory and away from mortal sin
Joined as one nation to make dreams come true
All America's people run faithfully red, white, and blue
Hands linked together, we begin our restoration
And vow to restore sense and honor to our great nation
A country's borders define its future
Truth and justice are what will nurture
Now has come the ending of wanton crimes
As we return to safety and freedom in our time
There is perhaps no greater danger to test our nation
Than the poverty brought on by bad policies and inflation
Instead of experiencing the end of our beloved country
We will seek and find ways to repair our economy
In what will be an excellent reach
The moment has come again for free speech
These thoughts will sharpen as they compete
And as we come together in merit for every seat
Speaking candidly and without much inhibition
The resounding call comes to support our ambition
From freedom to live as we want and choose our cars
To the establishment of the American presence on Mars
The impossible is that "what" that we do best
Forged and built and meant to pass every test
No obstacle will crush our country's civic pride
As we march on to feel and reach the other side

Holy Is My God’s Name
Holy Is My God's Name
by Michael Doyle
Holy is my God's name
His wonders erase my blame
He descended among us on His arrival
To bring humanity to our survival
His abundance gives us all
Here together we heed His call
Yahweh's mercy is shown
No greater love is known
Ages have passed in veneration
AS we have worshipped for generations
Blessed by a walk into freedom
Given to us by His holy kingdom
Give to each is His inspiration
To live life in His creation
Declared as the greatest of powers
God's name fills our numbered hours
Up into Heaven's unending skies
We hear the angels' cries
As infinite as you are holy
I am surprised that you love and know me

Facing Death Boldly
Facing Death Boldly
by Michael Doyle
Facing death is one thing
Watching the death of your men
That hurts more than anything
It burns like the second mortal sin
Cold and hungry in the night
A target was seen in every light
You never forget the death seen
It takes away part of a human being
Tears rolled down his face
As his mind touched the traces
Of memories about the war fought
Some things are never forgot
The best nights are spent dreamless
So that the images are seen as if seamless
It takes away a man's breath
To have seen so much useless death
Pulled to the breaking point's line
Praying to walk on these emotional landmines
Inching forward in his silent advance
He lies, barely breathing, somewhere in France
