Topic: Living On

This is just a song about God, life and death. I tried to keep it generic so as not to offend so if I did I’m sorry in advance. Anyway, I hope you all like it.

Re: Living On

No Apologies needed Jets! Lovely Song.

For 20 years a guy ran into his local church early every morning. Genuflected Blessed himself and muttered a few words. His Priest decided to ask one morning why he did this?
He Said, Every Morning I come in and say, "Good Morning God this is John! Just to let you know i am not forgetting you in my busy life!
Some morning i wont waken, and Gods Voice will say " Good Morning John this is God. So Im hoping he remembers my visits!

Why Blend in with the Crowd ? When you were made to stand out !

Re: Living On

Hi Jeff,

Lovely song once again, although I struggled with the timing for the first couple of verses but by the time I 'Badeyed' it I had got it OK. Well done.

Thank you,

Roger
