“When the warrior returns, from the battle afar,To the home and the country he nobly defended,O! warm be the welcome to gladden his ear,And loud be the joy that his perils are ended:In the full tide of song let his fame roll along,To the feast-flowing board let us gratefully throng,Where, mixed with the olive, the laurel shall wave,And form a bright wreath for the brows of the brave.” CountryHomeFormJoySongReturnBattleFameEarsBraveWaveWarmWelcomeWarriorLoudBoardsTidesPerilBrowsAfarOlivesLaurelsWreaths Book:Poems of the late Francis S.

“And one cold starry night / Whatever your belief / The phoenix will take flight / Over the seas of grief / To sing her thrilling song / To stars and waves and sky / For neither old nor young / The phoenix does not die.” DoeYoungNightSongDiesBeliefStarsGriefSeaSkyColdWaveFlightThrillingPhoenixStarry Night Author:May Sarton
“When I play with the full band, you get to be larger than life, you feel larger than life, and that particular moment in the song where there's passion, you've got nine guys behind you, all driving that sound and that feeling with you. That's like surfing a huge wave, because once you start you really can't stop it, you got it going down a huge mountain.” FeelsPlayMomentsFeelingsGuySongPassionSoundBehindsParticularHugeBandMountainWaveDrivingNineSurfingBehind YouLarger Than Life Author:Jason Mraz
“The best thing is to go from nature's God dawn to nature; and if you once get to nature's God, and believe Him, and love Him, it is surprising how easy it is to hear music in the waves, and songs in the wild whisperings of the winds; to see God everywhere in the stones, in the rocks, in the rippling brooks, and hear Him everywhere, in the lowing of cattle, in the rolling of thunder, and in the fury of tempests. Get Christ first, put Him in the right place, and you will find Him to be the wisdom of God in your own experience.” IfsFirstsBelieveSongEasyChristNatureRocksWindStonesAnd LoveWaveBest ThingsDawnSurprisingRollingThunderFuryRight PlaceBrooksWhisperingCattleTempest Author:Charles Spurgeon
