December 25, 2017
The boys back home
will let you know that
life is full of surprises.
So seek the challenges of life so you will know.
Chorus/Duet: Give us inner strength Dear Lord.
Searching for the truth
Is like searching for the unknown.
A mystical side of life
That depicts the truth in life.
So seek the challenges of life so you will know.
Chorus/Duet: Give us truth within Dear Lord.
Inspired by confidence,
There is no end to the possibilities
of human kind.
Just as the sea shells of our waters,
mankind shall continue inhabiting
planet earth.
So seek the challenges of life so you will grow.
Chorus/Duet: Give us confidence Dear Lord.
The lord will continue manifesting
from the spiritual, to the supernatural.
Allowing our souls to grow.
He who shall seek the truth of the
lord first –
shall truly know what the lord has
in store for him.
So seek the challenges of life so you will grow.
Chorus/Duet: Give us truth Dear Lord.
Biblical truths are for divine help
and ways to communicate with the lord.
Surely then anyone in his right mind
would truly rather see the world
with eyes of compassion and love
rather than that of destruction or evil.
So seek the challenges of life so you will know.
Chorus/Duet: Give us and love and compassion Dear Lord.

He is the Life, the Light, and the Way.
He is of Truth and Understanding.
So seek the challenges of life so you will know.

Water candles lit and placed around
The room with two glasses of wine

Soft music in the background just to teach
Love Songs bathing one another
Gently exploring passionate kisses with
Ray I know you are within my reach
Every time I soak in my bathtub
It is filled with wonderful hot water
Moments that can be shared and enjoyed
Ray I know you are within my reach
A Life of shared moments is what I need
When I am in my little kitchen
Preparing a meal I’m thinking of you

Passionate kisses visiting me at my side
As I prepare to go to sleep
I see a picture of you in my dreams

Do we really express our self or just react?
Do we play the flute or just prance?

Do you stand with me or without me?

Because the riddle has its ‘plan.

To speak the truth, so women don’t lie.

When they must multiply.
Filled with the season of the stream
That gleams and ovulates.
Everything that is green,
Begins with a new seed that germinates.
A message from the stream
That the new journey of life is on its way;
Singing hey baby, don’t cry!
Won’t you take me in your arms tonight?
Will you be my valentine tonight?
Will you give it to me just one more time?

Beneath the Shadows of Darkness are the
Inner Makings of Light.
The Air is Fair, like a Nightingale.
Why would any One want to go to Hell?
Not me, said the Lord. To Signify, is to Ramify,
To Communicate, is To Relinquish,
To Thirst for Knowledge, to Gasp for Air,
Because Heaven is here.
The Breath of Life is Everywhere, said the Lord.
He don’t want any of Us to be Bored;
To Hunt, to Fish, to feel the thrill of the
Sun, to Mate and to have a Plate like Gold,
Is A One-way Ticket to be Bold.
There are no More Shadows of Darkness,

There’s a Blue Bonnet of Texas
That I would always like to keep

She is boldest and grandest flower
Who sends out radiance to the nation
All eyes on Texas
Where Texas, is our Texas
Her eyes are bright likes diamonds
When all celebrate freedom
She gives me the power
To stand for what is right
Because there is no other like her
Her destiny is in the hands of the nation
What a glorious state she is
Where we once again play the banjo
Singing hallelujah, to the Blue Bonnet State
Like Diamonds that give me Life and Liberty

To play all night the devils run
Centered on Broad St is where they all come
Sugar Daddies, Dreamers and Hot Rods all for fun
The girls got their Bikinis
The boys got their cars
When the light turns green
Hell Raisers, Become Hell Chasers
The final race has just begun
It is all brass peeling ass
Then comes the Green chaser
Keeping its name and playing the game
It’s the devils run they call it
Because at the end of the hill
Your car better glide
Or it will spit dust – when it collides
It is really the devil’s advocate
Because of all the traffic
Hots Rods, Bikers and Movie Stars
Taking the sunshine in, making wheels their friend!
The girls seem puzzled
Because they know there is really no end!
Because they got to compete
Just like Billy Bob, Willie Nelson, and Charlie Pride
Things are looking up
When they began to glide
All Brass spitting dust
On the Green Chaser
Chaser becomes the leader racer
With a hard turn to the right
All lose their might
Except the car I call the Racer
It is better known as the devils delight
Because of its speed in Mid Flight

He had a manager named Lou
That knew Johnny never lost his cool
He had a gentle spirit
Who played nobody’s fool
When the doors of Heaven open
He’ll say, St. Peter did you get your man?
For he always loved the Lord
Because he had told me so
He loved his nation
He loved his land
Now all the Nashville Singers sing
“Joy to The World”
He had a daughter named Rosanne
Who was always part of his plan
That all great nations
Should pray, repent, and show mercy
We take this day and pray
Give it back to the Lord
Because Johnny always knew
That Jesus always has a place
For those who pray
As we look through his eyes
The redemption of time
Just likes Moses

He always kept his promises
That one day he would give
Back to this old great world
Lost treasures from the past
Such as the ark of covenant
We’ll always remember, Johnny knew his bible
Preacher don’t you give me a hard time
Because I’m the best, you will ever know
Because Johnny saw visions that must follow:
Rivers, Valleys, and Hilltops
Are places to worship!
To give thanks to the Lord
Heaven holds a place for those that pray
Visions from the past!

LOVERS PARADISE DUET
Lyricist/Songwriter: Ray A. James
Date: 12/25/2017
The lady of the sea is my fair lady
Whose skin is made of honey
With piercing blue eyes that devour me
She’s my lady of the Iris Spring
Our Souls inner touch each other
Just as we kiss in the Moon Light
With lips that are blossom red
Your inner voice calls out to me and says
I used to think that our love was a fairy tale
Until the day we had proof
That you and I were just right
As I figure you in my dreams and Mid-flight
You called upon me your Prince Charming
And told me more than just words
Suddenly we caressed each other in love
With the Sea Gulls and Mountaintops above
We pray for peace and joy
As we walk hand and hand near the shore
With Lovers Paradise at our front door
We heard the ocean thunder and roar
It must be a season of sparkle
As our emotions run high near Long Beach
I say to you that you’re everything to me
As the doors open I know what I’d seen
The Heaven and Mountaintops began to speak
That You and I were meant to be
Tears of joy filled our eyes
Until we meet again, I say good-bye!
To share our life as one
Rings of joy were in our mind
Mistletoes, pearls, and diamonds of hope
That we walk with grace as we elope
News of joy was our messenger
With the tall steeple, near our side

THE BEAUTY OF MY ANGEL
Lyricist: Ray A. James
Date: 12/27/03
Your head is crowned and jeweled
with a coat of arms there is no harm.
Your hair is like pure mist gold
sparkling in the air that is fair.
Your eyes are like the deep blue yonder
casting no fear of remnants from the past.
Your neck is like an ivory tower that’s got power.
Your nose is like a carved stone, just like your throne,
full of Carmel from Mt. Rushmore.
Your back sways like the learning tower of PISA.
Your breasts are like milk and honey
subdued when pressed and caressed.
Your hands are like a skilled worker
showing no sign of glisten, haste, or wonder.
Your navel is like a funnel of hope
moving in rhythm and style.
Beauty shines within you,
like arrays of light from Heaven,
pointing towards planet earth with joy,
filaments of my angel at my side to enjoy!

The Lord made the world
And the heaven with his marvelous
Plans of Salvation
Who shows mercy and evolution
The Lord is my Shepherd

Who restores my sight
The Lord is worthy of praise
Who defeats enemy in maize
The Lord is my rock
Who tends to my flock
The Lords says call upon me
And I will answer thee

Whose wine I must drink
The Lord brings rejoice into my heart
Who makes me happy as a lark
Who restores my life

The Lord knows we must repent
To keep his blessing of salvation

We biblically receive
We biblically honor the Lord
For this holy day
The Lord is my deliverer
Who is my forgiver!

NOSTRADAMUS
Michel De Nostredame
1503-1566
lyricist: Ray A. James
12 Jan. 04
The Farmer’s Almanac is where it is all at,
from the stars above, and beyond the French
Riviera, to the lands of Provence,
was once a man named Rue Nostradamus.
His mystical knowledge was a gift from God,
as a young man he had studied from his
Grandfather: Kabbalah, astronomy, prophesies,
and graduated from medical school in 1522.
1546 was the year that the Great Prophet spoke,
who became a visionary while visiting the Pope;
his family stricken by the Plague,
had died while he was in Italy.
The Queen of France named Catherine in 1551,
visited Nostradamus, who visioned the
destiny of her family, and later became
famous with his predictions while meditating.
He was a physician at his best, traveling
through France, he devised a plan to pick
300 roses from the greenest cypress, to make
healing herbs and save his patients’ lives.

MAKING PLANS WITH DISCIPLES
Lyricist: Ray A. James
December 25, 2017
If a man could touch the Stars
Or touch the Heaven.
If a man could make his plans,
With his fans.
Surely then could he see
The world as base seven.
For the world as we know it
Aligns itself with the disciples.
With the moon on the horizonIs to be with the Lord,
And to be with thee,
Thank-you Jesus.
If a man could touch the Stars,
Or touch the Heaven.
If a man could make his plans,
With his fans.
Surely then he could see the
World as base seven.
For a lucky day it would be, to see
The Lord perform great miracles in Heaven.

I once was blind
But now I see
I once was lost
But now I believe
I once was full of sin
But now I heed
I once had nothing
Now God has me
I once was barren
Now God plants a seed
I once was a sinner
Now God has my deed
I once was behind
But now I lead
I once was blind
Now God has me
I once was lost
Now God has me
I once was broken hearted
But now I believe
I once was immoral
I now see Christ for me
I once was alone
I now fellowship with God
I now know God is God
Ruler of Heaven and Earth
I now give thanks
To God my Creator
I now know the bible
Was written by my creator
I now give thanks
To Jesus for the word
I now fellowship with Christ
Who holds the deed of life
I now take this bread
And turn it into everlasting life

Lovers Paradise Duet
Lyricist: Ray A. James
Date: 12/25/2017
The lady of the sea is my fair lady
Whose skin is made of honey
With piercing blue eyes that devour me
She’s my lady of the Iris Spring
Our Souls inner touch each other
Just as we kiss in the Moon Light
With lips that are blossom red
Your inner voice calls out to me and says
I used to think that our love was a fairy tale
Until the day we had proof
That you and I were just right
As I figure you in my dreams and Mid-flight
You called upon me your Prince Charming
And told me more than just words
Suddenly we caressed each other in love
With the Sea Gulls and Mountaintops above
We pray for peace and joy
As we walk hand and hand near the shore
With Lovers Paradise at our front door
We heard the ocean thunder and roar
It must be a season of sparkle
As our emotions run high near Long Beach
I say to you that you’re everything to me
As the doors open I know what I’d seen
The Heaven and Mountaintops began to speak
That You and I were meant to be
Tears of joy filled our eyes
Until we meet again, I say good-bye!
To share our life as one
Rings of joy were in our mind
Mistletoes, pearls, and diamonds of hope
That we walk with grace as we elope
News of joy was our messenger
With the tall steeple, near our side
We take our wedding vowels
And announce that we are allowed!

With our sun and moon on the horizon

I lost my dreams

Our troops lost their flanks
With my eyes pierced with tears

With no hope of refuge
I then was stripped of my pride
I then prayed to my Lord
For mercy, protection, and my life
Then to my surprise
Our F 22’s must of heard my cry
What an awesome surprise
My prayers were answered
In an awesome glare
The Lord showed a shielding light

I am an old man but I am nobodies fool.
I take a look at History and reveal the truth.
Deep down inside this world is a war to be won.
A catastrophe flood would happen that would be nobodies fool.
God instructs Noah to be ready and show no pity.
Chorus: Noah says: I am nobodies Fool I listen to the Lord at hand and
pray.
Just because I am a Maverick I am nobodies fool.
You see in the days of Noah a lot of preaching was being done.
And nobody would listen to the Lords plan that wasn’t cool.
Chorus: Noah says: I am nobodies Fool I listen to the Lord at hand and
pray.
God instructed Noah what would happen to the people in the lands if they
wouldn’t stop corruption, and violence they would be annihilated.
Noah, knew what really opens the doors of Heaven and was given
specific plans of a new creation.
And he was instructed by the Lord that a real
cleansing of the world is about to take place.

But what you see is what you get.
Chorus: Noah says: I am nobodies Fool I listen to the Lord at hand and

Old Noah took much ridicule for building his great Ark.
But after 40 days and 40 nights he was looking pretty smart.
Sometimes It’s best to brave the wind and rain and have the strength to
go against the Grain.
Because there is more folks than a few who share my point of view.
Chorus: So listen to the Lord at hand and pray. He’s my brother he ain’t
heavy.
So the people who wouldn’t changed their wicked ways and wouldn’t
follow Noah and the Ark of covenant of the days.
Lost their pride, joy and life in their wicked ways.

Title: Turn Your Life Around

Yes wild horses keep
Dragging me away
But maybe, just maybe
I can turn my life around someday
Wild horses can be a dream come true,
Just because their wild and crazy,
Doesn’t mean I don’t have the blues for you.
Doesn’t mean I can’t come see you.
So when you feel down and out,
Just turn your life around.
Just like that wild horse in my life,
I’ll turn my life around and find,
My best calf roping horse in my life.
Just like that future Rodeo Queen in my life
I’ll turn my life around and find,
My dearest in life.
And we took a glance at each other,
We smiled, we’ laugh We
giggled one last time
We vowed to be husband and wife
And we had one heck of a win Rodeo Night
So when your down and out
Turn around
And take a look at your life.
Give your wife all you got… 141

Get a Life
Songwriter: Ray A. James
12/6/2018
If you gave life a chance
Would you do it right the first time?
Would you take your sweetie dancing?
Would you give her a ride of her life?
Would you give her a big surprise?
Despite all evil:
Would you merry your high school sweetheart?
Would you rodeo tonight?
Chorus: Is it love at first sight
If you gave life a chance
Would you do it right the first time?
Would you give life a chance?
Would you see what is important in your life
Would you turn away from the wicked ways of life?
Would you give your life a chance?
Would you let the world say:
What is in his eyes that makes his eyes sparkle?
Chorus: Is it love at first sight
That we should give life a chance.
The way we carry ourself in the moonlight
The way we make the ladies smile all night
The promises we keep.
The solutions that we make.
The resolutions that we seek
Are divine promises to keep.
So lets’ rodeo all night and get a life!

The Test of Time is in God’s Hands.
Songwriter: Ray A. James
April 8, 2018
I’ve have been cracking the whip
Until days dawn ends.
Trying to make a living
Just like the Hatfields & McCoys
Who are all my Kins.
I get up thinking and dreaming;
Am I still alive with Juliet?
I am the Romeo of the Century.
But don’t know why.
Having peace in the Hilltop’s,
Seems fair to me;
But I don’t understand my neighbors creed.
Who reminds me of all the past greed.
We come from an Ancient Civilization;
Where my neighbors don’t understand,
I am a dancer, singer and lover of freedom.
But my neighbors are a lot like the Flintstones
Feuding over boiling times.
I travel and explore to nobodies Inn.
Hoping to find love and work,
That we’ll keep me company.
I find sweetie pies in the southern lands.
We’ll dance and sing in the moonlight,
With laughter and love is all my sweetie pies.
I come back home to my father’s land.
With my Juliet in my hand.
My neighbors remind me of work.
But, I really don’t understand.

I’m tired of working for pennies;
On a dollars day hand, in this barren land.
So I take my sweetie pie Juliet,
Back off to our southern land.
Where we can enjoy the outdoors.
Make and explore new friends.
I cast no fear in the fields,
Because my true noble blood is here.
To guide me, direct me with blueberries and honey pies;
To give me peace of mind.
My ancient ancestors in my dreams,
Told me: stay bold, fear no evil, fear no crime.
So I find the work
That I was met to do.
Making a great harvest of Gold that’s no lie.
In the wheat fields, I find my honey pies.
Hauling pipe, to the oil fields.
Kissing, Loving and Dancing,
With my Juliet in my spare time.
Making new friends with my sweetie pie.
I celebrate victory
With my country friends.
I stand in say, yes I am Romeo.
Who has great plans that’s no lie.
I visit my relatives and old friends,
Once Again,
I tell Momma and Poppa,
I finally found victory in my hands.
I tell them how much I love them.
That I will always remember them.

When we had to fight in tough, barren lands.
And salvage what we canned.
We’re not deserters of war,
We’re workers and fighters of freedom,
With a God-given plan.
Thank-you Momma and Poppa for standing
With us – once again.
Now we all stand in victory and sing,
My land is your land
How about it Romeo?
How about it Juliet?
TAG: The test of time is in Gods Hands.
Thank God for my wife and sweetie pies.

A Touch Of Mary Ann Hatfield
Ray Allan James
Mary Ann always had a plan,
To be a helping hand;
To send peace through the land.
She’ll always be my fan!
Because she is of kin–
She’ll always be a friend.
We’ll heal and mend;
We’ll carry time to the end!
We’ll always use her approach–
We’ll consider her a coach.
Do not let others poach,
Nor smoke a roach.
To tithe the kins–
To always favor our friends.
To heal and mend;
To love till the end!
Let others hear the plan–
Always be a helping hand;
To always bless the land.
Because our land,
Will always be Mary Ann’s!
