Songs by a Sixteen year old in 1974


I mentioned a few weeks ago about how I Love to sing. I am always thinking in Song. I make up songs, make up tunes whatever. Some are my words to other tunes, some are out of tune songs in my head. I have a song in my head today that is one of those "made up songs" by me. I wrote this song when I was about 16 years old and so On Fire for the Lord. I was handing out Tracts, Knocking on doors. Loving God and praying that the Rapture wouldn't happen until I'd asked forgivness for my sins at least one more time.
I just recently become the proud new Mommy of a 1974 VW Super Bug. It's made me a bit nostalgic for when I lived with my Foster Parents and my Dad Cash (that's his name) owned a little red bug. My Sister Linda and I would Love to borrow it and take it on as many errands as we could. This always involved "cruising" around the High School or up and down Central Avenue in Chino Ca. On more than one occasion, we left Sunday evening service in LA area early after telling my Mom Bertha (that was HER name)that we had to get up early for school the next day. Lies...all of it. We just wanted to go cruising up and down Sunset Blvd. Anyhoo..fond memories.
I don't know music notes from Adam...but here are the words to the song:

I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING TO THE SUNLIGHT OF HIS LOVE,
AND IN MY HEART THERE IS A JOY FELT FROM ABOVE.
HE GOES WITH ME RIGHT THROUGH EACH DAY,
AND KEEPS ME SINGING ALONG THE WAY.
I WISH THAT I COULD TELL YOU HOW I FEEL!

ChorusOH SWEET JESUS, HE'S JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS YOU REALLY HAVE TO EXPERIENCE.
OH SWEET JESUS, HE'S JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS YOU REALLY HAVE TO EXPERIENCE.


I'M TELLING YOU THE STORY OF A MAN WHO DIED FOR YOU.
WHO GAVE HIS LIFE TO SHARE A LOVE THAT'S OH SO TRUE.
WHY DON'T YOU COME TO CHRIST TODAY,
AND LET HIM WASH YOUR SINS AWAY?
OH THIS COULD BE THE START OF SOMETHING NEW!

ChorusOH SWEET JESUS, HE'S JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS YOU REALLY HAVE TO EXPERIENCE.
OH SWEET JESUS, HE'S JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS YOU REALLY HAVE TO EXPERIENCE.


NOW YOU WILL WAKE UP IN THE MORNING WITH THE SUNLIGHT OF HIS LOVE,
AND IN YOUR HEART THERE IS A JOY SENT FROM ABOVE!
HE'LL GO WITH YOU RIGHT THROUGH EACH DAY,
AND KEEP YOU SINGING ALONG THE WAY
NOW YOU CAN TELL THE WORLD JUST HOW IT FEELS!

ChorusOH SWEET JESUS, HE'S JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS YOU REALLY HAVE TO EXPERIENCE.
OH SWEET JESUS, HE'S JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS YOU REALLY HAVE TO EXPERIENCE.
