Universal After Life ( Copyright 2007 Timothy P. Hutton ) _________________________________________ Where were you standing Among that mob that prevailed Of mocking manhandling A kiss of betrayal What were they speaking Of the lies that they told And did you hear weeping After the cock that did crow Thy will be done The Father sends His Son Where were you that morning When the blood filled the street Did you see Mary mourning Was you there when she kissed His feet Where were you fore evening When the clouds filled the sky Did you see our Lord stop breathing Was you there when He died Thy will be done The Father gives His Son How fierce was your trembling When the earth that did shake The veil twain for not mending That staff He now breaks And were you caught sleepin' When the stone rolled away Did you see them that came weeping To find He no longer lay Thy will be done The Father receives the Son

I sent a good friend of mine who is in Jordan a Holy Bible this past year. Recently they met a man from Egypt who professed to believe in Christ Jesus. This Bible was showed to him and he really thought it was beautiful and even kissed it. After that this song was played for him and he broke down crying and wanted to hear it a second time. That story was told to me and made it all worth while, and it's the greatest comment I could receive. We take it for granted in the areas of the world where free choice in God is ours.....but to those who believe in Christ in the parts of the world where jail or even death can be the penally.....it shows a faith few of us can imagine. ---------------------------------------------------------- Rose of Hope: There was a lonely man who walked by the sea The tides washed away his footsteps as it flowed around his knees Beneath his feet the undertow pulled away the sands If not for the Grace of God he would become a drowning man There’s a Rose of Hope for you and me, his love sets free Our lives and souls from being stranded by the raging sea True the thorns of life may nick you and make you bleed Just have the faith he’ll heal you and guide you and always lead Through the storm There was a lonely woman who gambled for a life long man Every time she thought she won him, she was dealt with an empty hand And sitting at the table where the stakes were high and all was lost She gazed through the sun ray smoke filled room On the wall hung a dusty old cross There’s a Rose of Hope for you and me, his love sets free Our lives and souls that we have gambled by the debts we seed True the thorns of life may nick you and make you bleed Just have the faith he’ll mend you and keep you and always lead Through the storm Jesus I love you for Loving a soul such as me Oh yes I do lord Glory be to your almighty name, Amen With angels on high May this song fill the sky With praise to you lord Glory be to your almighty name, Amen The Rose of Hope is growing in me Give me peace, love Protect me from the thorns There was a lonely soldier who fought in the desert lands Enduring the starless nights hidden by the wind whipped sands And when it seemed to him that all was about to be lost He reached within his tattered shirt clutching onto a silver cross There’s a Rose of Hope within you, his love sets free Our lives and souls from being stranded in a sandy breeze True the thorns of life may nick you and make you bleed Just have the faith he’ll heal you and guide you and always lead Through the storm ( Copyright © 2007 Timothy Paul Hutton )

Hurtin’ : I saw you on my big screen TV Watching Cops down in New Orleans Sporting handcuffs in your Levi jeans Saw your crack pipe in a break away scene What a life, when you’re down, and it hurts They sold moms’ car today The one they took away Now she’s down and out Too many rocks and some dirty white lines They threw the book at you now you’re doing your time If your heart holds out you’ll be out in nine What a life, when you’re down, and it hurtin’ Your sis at church today On her knees to pray Cause she knows everybody’s down and out Your Uncle Joe told me the latest of news Got in trouble with a few of the screws Something went wrong with one of the wood shop tools What a life, when you’re down, and it’s hurting ( Copyright © 2008 Timothy Paul Hutton ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Line 6 Variax Guitar, Timothy Hutton Resonator Guitar, Yamaha Sequencer
