Title: Morning Sun
Words & Music By: Rick Denzien
Look to the morning
As the sun shines on the Earth
For the morning light is as radiant
As the one who made the day
Feels like new birth
Morning Sun, Morning Sun
Hear the wind blow
As it passes by your ears
For the spirit of the wind
Is as life for those who hear its tune
When I think on this my eyes fell with tears of joy
Morning Sun, Morning Sun
Cause of what you did for me

Title: Dew Drops (How I Love You)
Words & Music By: Rick Denzien
First morning dew drops form in the night air cool
Shining like rainbows breaking the light in to mood
How I love you today
My every thought is turned towards the beauty seen
Just like creation I join in the waiting to be
How I love you today
I wake in the morning you’re still beside me
Just like a good dream except that you’re really hear with me
How I love you today
This was the first time an act made our vows come true
Together with patience we’ll build relations sure
How I love you today
today
How I love you today

Title: Only You Cause The Growth
Words & Music By: Rick Denzien
There’s a love in my heart
That was planted like a seed
And its grown, and it’s grown
Stronger now, so much stronger now
For you, for you
When I am weary, you comfort me
When I am blind, you make me see
Only you cause the growth
Only you cause the growth
From a single seed by faith, I’ve seen my life grow
A love that started so small seems to explode
Only you cause the growth
Only you cause the growth
There’s a joy that I feel
When I’m cleansed like a seed
This is the joy
I want to share with you
Peace for you, for you
When I am weary, you comfort me
When I am blind, you make me see
Only you cause the growth Only you cause the growth
Only you cause the growth Only you cause the growth
Within me

Title: You Taught Me
Words & Music By: Rick Denzien
From the Son of the Morning Collection
The gentle seas taught me peace
The sun taught my spirit warmth
The flowers of summer taught me to sing
The rain taught me to praise your name
Clouds taught me to walk by faith
But only you lord taught me love – to love
The winter winds taught me to be still
The heavens taught me your great plan
The earth taught me things I had to learn
The trees taught me your wisdom
The sky taught me my place
But only you lord taught me love
To love
Love to love
The gentle seas taught me peace
The sun taught my spirit warmth
The flowers of summer taught me to sing
The rain taught me to praise your name
Clouds taught me to walk by faith
But only you lord taught me love – to love

Title: Mr. Normal
Words & Music By: Rick Denzien
i once knew an old guitarist
he played an old guitar
sang a song of sadness and wandering
looking for an exit
the lonely stage door
can you live anymore?
you’ve been living in the bright lights
acting out your roll
singing the same old tunes where you show
hide behind your ax and a microphone
but can you say that you have a home?
have a home
and his fingers dance on the stings and he sings
Mr. Normal, sings and plays
it’s funny how an actor seems when
he’s on the stage
you know what he’s portraying is not the same
as the life he’s living
i think we need a change
thoughts and life rearranged
rearranged
and his fingers dance on the stings and he sings
Mr. Normal, sings and plays
i once knew an old guitarist
but he played a new guitar
he sang a song of gladness and changed heart
he found the entrance
a city did he see
that old guitarist taught me
he taught me
Mr. Normal, sings and plays

Title: I’ve Been Set Free
Words & Music By: Rick Denzien
I’ve been set free – I’ve been set free
And now Jesus lives in me
He set my soul free
From sin that made me die
He made me right with God
The only one - God’s son
I’m born again – I’m born again
And now Jesus lives within
I’m a brand new person
The old has past away
The joy that’s inside is so hard to hide
So I sing for Him
I live for Him – I live for Him
Since He gave me peace within
And I want to server Him
More everyday
And with His sprit to guide I won’t go wrong
I’ll always sing His song

Kerygma
Words & Music By: Rick Denzien
And all those who believe
Are the same ones who receive
A new age has dawned
In the raising of God’s Son
All His promises have been fulfilled
In the ministry of Jesus
God’s spoken to the lost
Though the life of his only son
In his death we have life
The forgiveness of our sins
For he promises to forgive
Those who believe
The Holy Sprit comes
And abides within us
Jesus lives in our hearts
Jesus lives in our hearts
The resurrection of the dead
His promise of eternal life
God will judge the world by his son
And all those who believe
Are the same ones who receive
A new age has dawned
Because of God’s great love
His righteousness has proved to be true
And all those who believe
Are the same ones who receive
The gift of forgiveness from his hand
And all those who believe
Are the same ones who receive
The gift of forgiveness from his hand
Yes, a new day has dawned
Because of God’s great love
All his promises have proved to be true
And all those who believe
Are the same ones who receive

Title: Nothing Left
Words & Music By: Rick Denzien
Shut your eyes ‘cause you might see
All your dreams come crashing slowly
And even you can’t hide from your fears
You keep on runnin’ only, to say
It’s a bad condition It’s not hard to realize
Things aren’t really speeding up
They’re just quickly slowing down
It’s a bad condition in a suffering, dying world
Don’t make the sacrament turn sour
There’s no life left in your fears
You better think it over wholly
Cause this time is coming to an end
And you can choose not to be lonely, lonely
It’s a bad condition It’s not hard to realize
Things aren’t really speeding up
They’re just quickly slowing down
It’s a bad condition in a suffering, dying world
Don’t make the sacrament turn sour
And when they write upon your gravestone
They’ll include something sweet
Some immortal epitaph
About how that you were living
But the words won’t be worth the stone
Completely out of place
Without true commitment
To the one who’s words won’t fade
God’s not some magician
It was man of picked the fruit
So, don’t blame Him When it’s really you

Title: Oh My Dawn
Words & Music By: Rick Denzien
Oh My Dawn
I just wanted you to know That your love really shows
Oh My Dawn
I feel like someday We’re gonna have to part our ways
And say good-bye for a time
But I know that in the end We’’ still be best friends
Golden friendship lasts forever
Chorus:
Oh My Dawn
I just wanted you to know that your love really shows
Oh My Dawn
Friend of my childhood
Whoever thought that we would be here for so long?
They say that when you grow, You’re gonna change the friends you know
Life is just that way
But we’re part of a kingdom Only known to some
Friendship in this land lasts forever
Chorus:
Even as I end this song I hop time won’t be long
Till I see you again
My friend I hope you see How much you’re part of me
Our friendship will last forever
Chorus:
Friend of my childhood
Whoever thought that we would be here for so long?

Title: Existence
Words & Music By: Scott Carpenter & Rick Denzien
I wanted to know about the shallow existence I called living
So, I went down to local the places
Where the most alive were supposed to go
But all I saw were skeletons, and hollow shells walking corpses
Who sold their lives for a twenty-dollar thrill
I stumbled through the mannequins, desperate to find a glimpse of freedom
But the farther on I stumbled the harder any path became to find
Deafened by the music choked by the smoke
Shattered by the laughter
Unable to distinguish any truth from any fantasies and lies.
Is this all I have to look forward to?
Death on earth to prepare for death below
Can it be that I have lost myself?
Or was I never me at all?
But round this time, I heard a voice behind me
and it seemed to taste of freedom
It said there was light if I would only turn around the other way
And though I was sure I looked that way a million times before
I turned and blinked the light I saw illuminated like the brightest day
The breath of real life was breathed into my soul
And now there is sunlight wherever I may go
