Drown In These Waters
©Jerry Axson
When I’m down at the bottom
And there’s no place to go
My life just set sail
With all hope in tow
I could drown in these waters
I could just slip away
When there’s nothing to live for
There’s no reason to stay
Then I hear a voice
So strong and so clear
Tells me “I am your God”
You have nothing to fear
When I’m down at the bottom
Overcome by this flood
I remember my teaching
I am covered by blood
I will stand before God
With no fault, with no blame
He calls me his friend
And he knows me by name
Then I hear a voice
So sweet and so clear
Whispers “I am your Lord”
I will always be here
Lift me up and hold me close
Let me lean on you
Take my rest in loving arms
My spirit man renewed
I repent of my every sin
Place the blood over me
My knee bends, my tongue profess
Christ is king for all eternity

In The Presence Of A Living God
©Jerry Axson
I believe in the presence of a living God
Every morning when I open up my eyes
He is real, he is loving, always there for me
He lights my way like a pyre up in the sky
I believe, I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe, I believe
I believe in the presence of a loving God
He is there when I need him the most
Gives me courage in the valley of the long shadows
Surrounds me with his heavenly host
I believe, I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe, I believe
I believe in the presence of a gracious God
By design I am a treasure in his eyes
Formed by loving hands from the clay in the ground
Given life by his breath placed inside of me
I believe, I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe, I believe
I believe in the presence of a Holy God
Give him honor, give him glory, give him praise
He sent his only Son to buy me back to him
I will love him for the rest of my days
I believe, I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe, I believe
Give him honor
Give him praise
Give him glory
For the rest of our days

Soul Of David

Soul Of David
© Jerry Axson
Another night under the open sky
A cold night without a fires light
I look into their tired eyes
No kings’ reflection am I
It feels more than a lifetime ago
In the valley of Elah at Shochoh
You blessed my name and my Father’s house
Now you want to kill me
I’ve got to go with it
I’ve got to roll with it
Up every morning and just get on with it
He made a promise to me
Many are called but for a few
You may not understand but one thing is true
I’ve got the soul of a Sheppard
I’ve got the heart of a King
I’ve got the eyes of a man in pain
Holding on to faith in the promise he brings
On the open plains of Judah
In the shadows of the mountains Ziph
I took your sword and your water
Spared your life while you slept beneath it
Sometimes I fall down on my knees
And I cry out to my God above
In your name and for your honor
But I will not take the life of the King I love

Top Of The Hill

On your mark, get set, let go now, (of everything)
By his grace you are saved through your faith
No man enters the kingdom except through the son
He holds the key that unlocks the gate
By the gate
At the top of the hill
I will wait
Quiet and still
For your voice
To ring in my ear
By the gate
At the top of the hill
The more you learn the less you know (it seems)
So be quiet and still and know that I am
The wage of sin is death but I offer something else
Behold my only son – the righteous lamb
By the gate
At the top of the hill
I will wait
Quiet and still
For your voice
To ring in my ear
By the gate
At the top of the hill
I will wait - I will – I’ll wait for
I will wait - I will – I’ll wait for
I will wait - I will – I’ll wait for you

From Death To Victory
©Jerry Axson
Run myself in circles
From gray to deep black
No answers to my questions
It’s getting hard to keep track
Of all the broken pieces to my life just laying there
I’ve got to find my way back
And I think I know where
Amazing grace he is the Christ
Who died for all my sins
Nailed upon a wooden cross
Where salvation begins
He gave his life to save my own
He set my spirit free
Amazing grace he is the Christ
From death to victory
I’ve lent myself to silence
I’ve hidden my heart away
I am a soldier in a holy war
And I’ve got something to say,
To all the lonely people I pass each and every day
Slowly turning to shadows
But his love won’t let you fade away

Dance with Me
©Jerry Axson
Dance with me
Won’t you dance with me
I long to hold you close so just
Dance with me
I can feel your heartbeat against my skin
I can feel your breath across my shoulder
Dance with me
You should dance with me
It would only take a moment of your life to just
Dance with me
Don’t you want to know what might be there
If you close your eyes you can feel it in the air
Dance with me
Won’t you dance with me
Hold on tight as we spin around please
Dance with me
There’s nothing sadder than a love denied
Never awakened – never realized
Dance with me
You should really dance with me
This chance may never come again so just
Dance with me
I’m waiting for you to make up your mind
So we can dance together ‘til the end of time
Dance with me

To me simplicity is the root of all great thoughts. The secret thrill for me, the architect, is delivering that thought with unobtrusive complexity. Writing songs and composing music satisfy my soul and because of this I know exactly what I am designed to do, it’s just that simple. - Jerry Axson ... more
