A Special Way

 

It's amazing how you through the things that you do can make me happy for a while

It's amazing to me that by being friendly you can turn a frown into a smile

And when this type of love you're givin' then you know you're really livin'

Everyday's a special way of being free.

 

well a friend it is true through the things he can do can show you what love really menas

Love can give you so much, it can act as a crutch- something on which you can lean.

And when this truth is what you're living and this type of love you're giving

a warming glow will grow and grow 'tween you and me.

 

It's amazing to me that the way to be free was taught a long long toime ago!

It's amazing to me that this simplicity is something all men do not know

For by knowing what christ has given makes you glad you're really livin'

His special way, every day- eternally...

The self sufficiency that had been drilled into me was starting to see the sunset of its life- many passages would come, but I see here the beginning of the breaking process.

I remember writing this in the just covered basement of the home we were building- no plumbing at this point, but that corner room was a seedbed of change in my life.
