Nightingale
(words: D.Remple Y.Bach Music
Y.Bach A. Elswick)

Nightingale

Verse one
This is your valley
Of deep night
It seems it's empty
Of hope and light.
This is your season
To stumble there
Between your sorrow
And your despair.

Chorus
Yet you sing,
Oh, nightingale,
That dawn will come,
God will prevail.
Your strength is gone
Your vision fails,
Yet you sing,
Dear nightingale.

Verse two
This is your witness –
Your faithful voice,
Rising in worship
Above the noise
This is your music,
Your song of praise
piercing the darkness
With Hope and faith.

Bridge:
You sing as tears fall from your face
Steeped in pain, bathed in grace
Sing like there is no tomorrow,
Sing You Sing Through your sorrow

About this song
D. Remple actually started writing this song about me, (Von) and some of the things I've endured, and how I endure.... But this song became about SO MUCH MORE than just me..... the battle my dear father raised against cancer and lost, the sudden death of my mother, My oldest son's Cerebral Palsy, you know, STUFF..... it's become my personal anthem, my song of VICTORY OVER THE WORLD STUFF..... TO GOD I GIVE THE GLORY, FOR WITHOUT HIM, I SURELY WOULD FALL......

"Come To The Water"
( words Debbie Rempel and Y. Bach Music Y Bach )

COME TO THE WATER
© Deb Rempel and Yvonne Bach


Verse One
You always pray for others,
You Always lift them up;
(You’re) There to tease and listen;
There to show your love.
You set aside your own pain –
Everything you’re going through
To strengthen someone else. Dear friend,
Now let us strengthen you.

Chorus
Come to the water.
Come be refreshed.
We’ll life your burden to Jesus
So you can rest.
Come on, Come on to the water
Make your troubles known
Come to the water,
You’re e not alone.

Musical interlude

Verse Two
You’ve traveled through the valleys
You’ve Come out the other side,
With new depths of compassion
You’ve led others to Christ.
We know that, from these shadows,
You’ll rise up, strong and true.
For now, just pause a bit, dear friend
And let us strengthen you.
