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.
