A Saint Born
Sometimes in this world a saint is born
A blessing to every person near with love filling voids
Wells of hope are found
Springs of peace flow now
Love is as the dew
every blade of grass it’s found
The weeds uprooted from the ground
With the years her wisdom’s clear
Her conscience fully formed
In suffering she is fully conscious of our Lord
Her pain for the unloved, Her pain for the lost
Her pain for the dying,
their lives with out the cross
In suffering she blessed them all
How lovely how beautiful
when she graced this land
Her radiance her aura
Love pure as Eden’s plan
As she lay among the flowers
The blessed have come to mourn
A light so white
The dark was bright
Their faith was better formed
Prayers were fulfilled
Sickness often healed
Demons always ran
And this world is better now
Every tear there’s joy some how
How lovely how beautiful
when she graced this land
Her radiance her aura
Love pure as Eden’s plan

Weary Soul

Weary soul
There are wonders in this world
I will never see
But you I can receive
I will turn my heart towards you
desperate every time
seeking more of you
Sorrow burns an endless hole
If not filled by grace
Your love I can't replace
sorrows draw me deeper in
nearer to your heart
adoring you is my part
Chorus:
Come to me, I will hold your weary soul
give you rest and make you whole
bring your weary soul
all the things that brought me near
never will I know
how you brought here
I will stay and hear your words
your voice will soothe the soul
come and make me whole
Chorus:
Come to me, I will hold your weary soul
give you rest and make you whole
bring your weary soul
Bridge:
I'll show you love you've never known
love which grows and burns the soul
it asks of you a sacrifice
this love will bring you back to life
I will give you all my heart
through trials more secure
my cross I will endure

Love So Pure, So Beautiful
A gentle women, young and pure
a pearl for the lost
Her fragrant beauty, crystal clarity
her love washes you
With her heart she feels their pain,
the needs of those all alone
Cast aside to live or die
she seeks these tortured souls
Chorus:
And love so pure so beautiful (2x)
These lonely years with death and tears
her - love it multiplies
In every eye she hears their cry
for more than she can give
Chorus:
And love so pure so beautiful (2x)
Bridge:
And all the angels cried out to God
bring her home, bring her home (2x)
Salient love for those unloved
by friends and family
She took their needs and their disease
upon the bed she lies
Chorus:
And love so pure so beautiful,
And love so pure so beautiful
Bridge 2:
And all the people cried out to God
let her live let her live (2x)
As she lay her face so pale the lost,
come to mourn
Please don’t leave we cannot grieve
your life you brought us hope
Her eyes look past, the world’s grasp she says
I’m going home

Oh Love My Love
05:38
|

Oh love my love
My love is the one who's scorned
mocked, jeered, abhorred
though she is only love
she's called a whore
Oh Love my love
Their words more vile now
Their hatred grows
It is more blatant now
With laws to oppose
Oh Love my love
Dance my love the world will see your glow
With your heart displayed they'll see it grow
Emboldened prideful minds
progressive times
no logic in their words
just hate and lies
Oh Love my love
Chorus:
Dance my love the world will see your glow
With your heart displayed they'll see it grow
Bridge:
Though all the world tries to strip you of arms
I will still stand near your heart
though some have faltered and lived out their lies
Saints will bear fruit in these trials
With what was prosperous times
our great regress
we must now give our lives
to pass this test
Oh Love my love
Chorus:
Dance my love the world will see your glow
With your heart displayed they'll see it grow
Bridge:
Though all the world tries to strip you of arms
I will still stand near your heart
though some have faltered and lived out their lies
Saints will bear fruit in these trials

If It's Real

If it's real
It's amazing the way that we feel
rise above to see if it's real
quickly now quickly away
You were a wandering child
lovely though with your smile
loving you was never the same
Chorus:
You took me back to a time long ago
all alone you told me more I didn't know
though it was hard it was all true
I couldn't deny but how could you
you took the life now I'll never know
how did I ever let you go
never going back there for more
for more

Silent Cries

Silent Cries
When I hear my newborn cry
thoughts of those who lost their lives
for what I do not know
Torn from their mothers womb
a place where life should assume
safety from all the worlds harm
I wonder why
I wonder why
Life there is no more precious gift
Tragic how they despise it
Their own flesh and blood
how dark the world has become
where life is but a nuisance
the silent cries when will they be heard
O God please come and right this wrong
turn the hearts of man gone wrong
hearts gone wrong

Where Are The Warriors

Where are the warriors
In this age of grand illusions,
words meant to deceive
what is true is so disfigured
few know what to believe
moral laws decried as slavery
mocked as un-evolved
logics gone, the way of reason
neither can you find
Chorus:
Where are our warriors
the mighty one's
who dumbfound thousands
with God’s pure Love
In the Church which Jesus founded,
with God's guiding hand
It is Truth our mother teaches
pray you'll understand
Chorus:
Where are our warriors
the mighty one's
who dumbfound thousands
with God’s pure Love
Bridge:
Will you walk in her teachings,
stand firm in His Sacred Heart
Her Sacraments strengthen
Unleash the Church's power

Purpose
03:29

Purpose
I must live with one goal in mind
I must seek the Kingdom of God
We are here not for pleasures or Gold
But to love with all our soul
It is God who gave us our life
It is God even when we deny
He won't force any one to love
Though He gave His only Son
Chorus:
Though the world brings passions we must fight
blurs lines that show us what is right
distracts us from what is pure good
we must keep our eyes on The Lord
We are called to be nothing less than the
saints who've lived before
Through the Church we receive such grace
We must choose to live this faith

Come Home

Come Home
Peace is gone war has come,
Our soldiers, are they strong?
The line’s been drawn the lies begun
It’s the fog of war
Some friends they choose the side deceived
The faction I fight against
I pray their soul is kept from harm
Returned to loving arms
Come home please come home
the door is open wide
Come home please come home
the healing is inside
the evil the darkness of this war
will make the sides less vague
the side of right will shine more bright
as it’s purified
come home please come home
no prison on our side
come home please come home
to heal the wounds you hide
nothing in vain, no death, no pain
all will be our gain
This fight for life is won at night
Through the prayers of saints
Come home please come home
The devil cannot win
Come home please come home
The gates of hell won’t prevail
Our faith is weak, we are too meek,
We’re called to be saints

He Holds Us Close

He holds us close
(Lyrics by Matt Tooley)
There’s a man on a tree,
greatest of these
head is bowed
as you take his breath away
hear him say, “it’s over now”
i love you, my father
i will trust in you
here’s a boy on his knees least of these
sin on his mind
and it takes my breath away
you still say, “son, it’s all right”
i love you, my father
i will trust in you . . . even though
i don’t always know why you give your herd
what we don’t deserve
i just want to say
father, that it takes my breath away
there’s a friend of mine
one day finds a beautiful girl
and she takes his breath away
vows are made, wonderful and sure
i love you, my father
i will trust in you
but just three months in
an accident brings dismay
and as you gave us breath of life
you took his wife, took his breath away
i love you, my father
i will trust in you . . . even when
i don’t understand why you let your sheep
fall and hurt and bleed
but despite the pain i just have to say
father, i hear you say, “just breathe away”

Karl Miles Batavia, Illinois
I have finished recording my latest Catholic studio album "Where are the Warriors" an album which is a call to Catholic's to
live our faith to its fullest meaning...we are called to be saints.
God's truth and love concurs all evil, but people must be able to feel and see this love in us. It is my hope, truth and love is heard in my music.
