Trails of Songs

By Barbara Jones

Traces, faces, memories past,

Nag at me, remind me that,

I’ve gone many miles, left trails of songs,

That never dies.

Slower still, I kinda feel

The rule of travel marks the miles

Thinking back, I look sad,

I wonder when my will life will end.

Chorus

Somebody out there, hear my music,

Cause I can’t anymore.

I don’t care when life’s not fair,

I’m headed home thru every tear.

Good Lord help me you are so near,

Always been friend of my soul

I’m going, leaving traces of my own,

So someone can follow my journey home.

Talk: Where we really belong

I don’t know why or what it means,

When God gives me songs like these

Cause the music’s gone, but the words live on

Traces, faces, memories, now empty places

Where I’ve traveled far in my memory car

I understand there is no man

Only God, who, holds, my hand.

Leading carrying me, I know not where.

Peace, be still is all I hear.

Trust I hope is all I know, all I had, I let go.

I’ll follow him, where he may lead

He bought and paid for me on his knees

Jesus died and rose and knows what each one of us needs

Repeat Chorus
