Verse 1

The view from my hammock

Has me looking at the sky

Find myself talking to God

And asking Him why

So many hardships

Are in this world today

Asking Him for his help

So I can find my way

Chorus 1

Time in the hammock

Is good for your soul

Taking time to spend with God

Just never gets old

 Lying there - just listen

to what He has to say

He’ll put you on the right path

And show you the way

Verse 2

I heard a still small voice

Like the whisper of the wind

Very softly asking me

What state my heart is in

 My vision started blurring

from tears filling my eyes

as He offered His forgiveness

without asking why

Chorus 2:        

Time in the hammock

Is good for your soul

Taking time to spend with God

Just never gets old

Lying there - just listen

to what He has to say

He will forgive you

 And show you the way

​

Bridge:

If you’re feeling troubled

About challenges you face

Or you’re feeling all alone

Or if you’ve lost your way…

Spend some - time in the hammock

And talk to God today

Chorus 1 Out

BACKSLIDIN'

​

Verse 1

Took stock of my life today

Left me feeling a bit dismayed

How’d I stray so far from You

I don’t know what I’m gonna do

Lord, I miss our daily talks

Hearing your Spirit on our walks

Living my life in Your way

And learning from your Word each day

​

Chorus

Lord help me, I’m backslidin’

Caught up in this world of sin

I need your help to change my ways

Give me your strength so I can win

Verse 2

Feeling trapped by life demands

I soon lose sight of best laid plans

Please help me prioritize

And to look at life through Your eyes

Old habits are hard to break

I keep making the same mistakes

Need a way to stop this trend

And not land here time and again

Repeat Chorus

​

Bridge

Gotta stop this backslidin’

I want my life on track again

I’m done with this backslidin’

My eyes are locked on You again

​

Chorus out

THE TUNNEL

Verse 1

It was so dark no light anywhere

I wasn’t sure how I’d even got there

Feeling so lost I was all alone       

Fear sent a chill deep into my bones

I couldn’t move nowhere to turn

My whispered prayer 

echoed through the air

Chorus 1

I’m lost in the tunnel

Can’t find a way free

I’m lost in the tunnel

No path to see

Lord, I need your guidance

Please rescue me

​

Verse 2

I saw a light, at first very small

I wondered if I’d even seen it at all

But with faith I started walking

To you, the whole time talking

Drawing on you, to see me through

My whispered prayer 

echoed through the air

​

Repeat Chorus 1

​

Bridge

Then the darkness faded 

and light flooded in

I could see clearly the place I was in

Without a doubt I knew the way out

My answered prayer

whispered through the air

​

Chorus 2

I’m leaving the tunnel I’m finally free

I’m leaving of the tunnel 

Your path I see

Lord thanks for your guidance

You rescued me

​

 Chorus 2 Out
