This weekly series
will include as many of my all-time favorite tunes as I can get my grubby
little hands on (so to speak). Now, each
one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit
only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered. For I just cannot bring myself to rate some
higher than others. So, this will not be
a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t
matter. Besides, with no countdown, this
could go on forever and ever! Oh, and
despite the fact that there is absolutely no way that your musical tastes can
be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions that you might dare to
make. I am, after all, quite magnanimous
by nature.

God’s Will
Martina McBride
I met God’s Will on
a Halloween night
He was dressed as a
bag of leaves
It hid the braces
on his legs at first
His smile was as
bright as the August sun
When he looked at
me
As he struggled
down the driveway
It almost made me
hurt
Will don’t walk too
good
Will don’t talk too
good
He won’t do the
things that the other kids do
In our neighborhood
I’ve been
Searchin’
Wonderin’
Thinkin’
Lost
And lookin’
All my life
I’ve been
Wounded
Jaded
Loved
And hated
I’ve wrestled wrong
and right
He was a boy
without a father
And his mother’s
miracle
I’ve been
Readin’
Writin’
Prayin’
Fightin’
I guess I would be
still
Yeah
That was until
I knew God’s Will
Will’s mom had to
work two jobs
We’d watch him when
she had to work late
And we’d all laugh
like I hadn’t laughed
Since I don’t know
when
Hey Jude was his
favorite song
At dinner he’d ask
to pray
And then he’d pray
for everybody in the world
But him
I’ve been
Searchin’
Wonderin’
Thinkin’
Lost
And lookin’
And lookin’
All my life
I’ve been
Wounded
Jaded
Loved
And hated
I’ve wrestled wrong
and right
He was a boy
without a father
And his mother’s
miracle
I’ve been
Readin’
Writin’
Prayin’
Fightin’
I guess I would be
still
Yeah
That was until
I knew God’s Will
Before they moved
to California
His mother said
they didn’t think he’d live
And she said each
day that I have him
Well
It’s just another
gift
And I never got to
tell her
That the boy showed
me the truth
In crayon red
On notebook paper
He written me and
God
Love you
I’ve been
Searchin’
Prayin’
Wounded
Jaded
I guess I would be
still
Yeah
That was until
I met God’s Will on
a Halloween night
He was dressed as a
bag of leaves

Jesus, Take The
Wheel
Carrie Underwood
She was drivin’
last Friday
On her way to
Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Goin’ home to see her Mama and her Daddy
With the baby in
the backseat
Fifty miles to go
And she was runnin’
low
On faith and
gasoline
It'd been a long hard year
She had a lot on her mind
And she didn't pay
attention
She was goin’ way too fast
Before she knew it she was spinning on
A thin black sheet
of glass
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry
She was so scared
She threw her hands up in the air
Jesus
Take the wheel
Take it from my hands
‘Cause I can't do this
On my own
I'm a-letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this
Road I'm on
Jesus
Take the wheel
It was still gettin’
colder
When she made it to
the shoulder
And the car came to a stop
She cried when she saw that baby in the
backseat
Sleepin’ like a
rock
And for the first time in a long time
She bowed her head to pray
She said I'm sorry for the way
I've been livin’ my life
I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight
Jesus
Take the wheel
Take it from my hands
‘Cause I can't do this
On my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this
Road I'm on
Oh
Jesus
Take the wheel
Oh I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this
Road I'm on
From this road I'm on
Jesus
Take the wheel
Oh
Take it
Take it from me
Oh
Now
Ooooooh
Ooooh
