Eternal Flame
by Michael Doyle
Feeling unworthy of God's touch
I felt I was asking too much
Until I heard and then I read
Of the holy things that were said
God of all things came to save
Lifting me from my fated grave
Slowly changing the path that I was on
His loving kindness worked until sin was gone
As the path that was walking
And I became then the man who was talking
Worn down until conformed by His pages
The king of kings is the rock of all ages
I praise Him for setting me free
Salvation and hope became my theology
The God of second chances threw a lifeline
Into a life lived in emotional landmines
In a life born in free-flow violence
The Lion of Judah roared through the silence
To take away feelings of blame and shame
To set me free through His love that came

Call Out To Love
by Michael Doyle
In a life lived with sanctimony
I somehow came to my testimony
Based on faith and healing
That moved beyond mere feeling
Into knowing the true deal
Of finding belief and knowing it real
I reached out as if shown
To the God, I had not known
Praying for a miracle in His name
Not knowing how to remove my shame
Until I learned God's ways
And doing my best to focus through my days
I have called out to His love
Learning to know Heaven above
From all he has done
In my home, we worship the Father, Spirit, and the Son
I lived through that miracle of healing
Doing this was soul-revealing
As He worked all things for His good
Until even this simple man understood

For Me and You
by Michael Doyle
No one has really asked my advice
But I've seen lightning strike twice
Everyone's part is more than necessary
To be heard is not something contrary
We need to speak out on what we've heard
We need to share what has occurred
We'll need to build our own home
But at least we know we're not alone
We'll find our place is something better
When we build this thing together
It's a new world that we need to find
Where no heart is ever really left behind
We'll find a way to make it through
Believing in each other as we do
Faith and love find a way to be true
Making a better place for me and you
The hands on the clock keep ticking
As time passes much too quickly
It seems I never get enough time with you
All I know is I need our love to be true
We crossed that bridge where we had sighed
Recognizing that all the gods have lied
And while the fates have never died
When you broke my heart, I stood there and cried
