To Us A Child Of Hope Is Born

To Us A Child Of Hope Is Born
©2013 Rough Harbor Music. Words & Music by Cameron Gray, 2013 (based on John Mor­ris­on’s hymn, 1781).

To us a Child of hope is born,
To us a Son is giv’n,
Our praise His advent to adorn,
With all the host of heav’n;

For every valley shall be raised,
And every mount made low,
Prepare His path, make straight His way,
Salvation to make known

CHORUS:
Hosanna! His praise shall never cease
Hosanna! Hosanna, Prince of Peace

To us the King of kings has come,
His reign no end shall know,
Love the foundation of His throne,
Justice the cornerstone;

Almighty God, Immanuel,
The great and mighty LORD,
The Wonderful, the Counselor,
The Everlasting Word
(Chorus)

BRIDGE:
Through darkness deep, the brightest beam
of Heaven’s light has shown,
To bring us peace, He bore our grief,
His wounds have made us whole
(Chorus)

Walking Spanish

One of two short instrumentals I made for a promo video for my friend’s new iPhone app PaceDJ which helps you find the best workout songs for running, walking and cycling.

Let me know if you’d like me to whip up something for your project.

Just Like You Are
©2007 Words & Music by Cameron Gray

I am missing your smile babe
Your smile is far away
Call you up on the telephone
Just to say
Don’t forget that I love your smile
Like honey to the bee
That’s just like you are to me.

I am missing your voice babe
Your voice is far away
Call you up on the telephone
Just to say
Don’t forget that I love your voice
Like sugar to my tea
That’s just like you are to me.

I am missing your moves babe
Your moves are far away
Call you up on the telephone
Just to say
Don’t forget that I love your moves
A precious commodity
That’s just like you are—

Don’t go so far away
Don’t go so far away

I am missing your love babe
Your love is far away
Call you up on the telephone
Just to say
Don’t forget that I love your love
Like water to the sea
That’s just like you are
That’s just like you are
That’s just like you are to me.

Written and recorded for Mellie, Dec 07. Hooray for Mellie!

Old Fashioned Lullabye
©2007 Words & Music by Cameron Gray

Slow summer nights and old fashioned lullabyes
Underneath a blue, blue moon,
Voices in union, a sweet perfume,
Holdin on like a juniper root,
Feelin fine, just to know you’re mine.

Standing shoulder to shoulder, arm-in-arm to uphold
The strength of our love—just you and me up against the world.
Looking forward to getting older,
The warmth we share won’t never, never, never grow colder,
I’m gonna love you til the day I die.

So bring on those days of slow change, those years of age,
I’m falling for you like a fool, like when my youth was young,
Let’s make a melody of you and I,
Making love in sweet slow time,
Like an old fashioned lullabye.

I went dreaming last night, of a lullabye,
Dreaming…
Dreaming last night, of a lullabye,
You were there, just dreaming by my side,
And we went dreaming all through the night.

Dreaming of those days of slow change, those years of age,
I’m falling for you like a fool, like when my youth was young,
Let’s make a melody of you and I,
Making love in sweet slow time,
Like an old fashioned lullabye.

Time gonna change us, take liberties outrageous,
Make mockery of vanity and pride,
Oh but love lingers on,
Young and strong.

So bring on those days of slow change, those years of age,
And someday, baby when all our youth is gone
We can look back upon the melody of you and I
Making love to last all our lives,
Like an old fashioned lullabye.

Written and recorded for Mellie, Dec 07. Hooray for Mellie!

Way Back Home
©2007 Words & Music by Cameron Gray

I’ve seen the stars in your eyes
We’ve slept out under a sky-blue sky
We’ve heard the sound of angels all around
And we know the way back home.

We’ve drunk a taste of the sea
We’ve painted purple mountain majesty
I’ve whistled a tune with you beneath the moon
And we know the way back home.

Oh, ain’t it hard
Learning how live with love
Is bound to break your heart
Don’t be afraid
Don’t give up, don’t give in
Don’t be ashamed
Let’s bring a little bit of heaven to this side of Revelation

I’ve seen the stars in your eyes
That steady constellation has been my guide
And with you by my side, I know that I know
We know the way back
We know the way back
We know the way back home

Written and recorded for Mellie, Dec 07. Hooray for Mellie!

Another Miracle
Words & Music by Cameron Gray
© 2010 Rough Harbor Music

Learning to wear my woes
Sharp dressed in heart shaped clothes
Getting harder to muster
The energy I need to be disgusted
I know, I know.

Maybe we don’t need another miracle
Maybe we don’t need another miracle
Maybe we don’t need another miracle

Learning to weigh my words
Dove shaped dissident birds
Wonder what’s worth keeping
Crumb collecting while the the sun is sinking
I know, I know.

Maybe we don’t need another miracle
Maybe we don’t need another miracle
Maybe we don’t need another miracle

When I want you, you don’t want me
When I see you, you don’t see me
When we find ourselves lost at sea
If I rescue you, would you rescue me?

Maybe we don’t need another miracle
Maybe we don’t need another miracle
Maybe we don’t need another miracle

Welcome To The World
©2009 Words & Music by Cameron Gray

Welcome to the world,
Bouncing baby girl
We met you on a rainy afternoon,
We love your dad and mom
And now that you come along
We know that we can’t help but love you too

Welcome to the world,
Beautiful little girl,
Bringing to us so much love and joy,
And every single day
Gonna hope and wish and pray
That you grow up feeling what we feel today

Singing la la-la la-la

Welcome to the world
Beautiful bouncing baby girl
We met you on a rainy afternoon
But here inside our heart,
The clouds all broke apart
And now everything is bright and clean and new

Special thanks to Johnny C for the piano and mixing expertise, Papa Will for adding a little violin for his daughter’s song, Mellie, Nate & Sarah, Matt & Erika, Barbara, Richard, and Wes for the voices, snaps, hand claps and barely-stifled laughter. And most of all thanks to Will & Carolyn for giving us little Mia, definitely someone worth singing about!

One More Try
Words & Music by Cameron Gray

cut my wrist
breaking promises
praying Jesus forgets
what he don’t forgive
now when I look at you
and you’re looking away
feel that tide that turns
my night to day

let’s give it one more try

all I know
is written on my hands
written with a stone
pressed up against my skin
I can’t forget your face
I can’t forget your touch
knowing you real name
never meant so much

let’s give it one more try

they won’t know my name
in a hundred years
they won’t know my face
or these hopes and fears
but in the here and now
down in the bend and bring
we remember
everything

let’s give it one more try

Hearts & Diamonds
Words & Music by Cameron Gray

sky falling down
dark at the edge of town
measuring wisdom by the mile
never enough
using up that love
crying, trying to make it stay
don’t make it bad, don’t be so sad, darlin please,
we ought to know better by now

hearts and diamonds
lost in a wonderland
hearts and diamonds for you

give ’til it aches
bending until you break
spending all those years waiting
storms that come riding
riding a wicked wind
I feel them coming before they hit
out of that wild blue yonder, such a long way to wander
when I’m all alone you’re what keeps me hanging on

hearts and diamonds
lost in a wonderland
hearts and diamonds for you

wait for it son, hearts and diamonds
ever since I was a young man
making promises I never dreamed I’d break
now I’m lost inside you
now I’m lost inside you

hearts and diamonds
lost in a wonderland
hearts and diamonds for you
