Can't Get Enough Of His Love

If I had to pick a song on this CD that's my favorite it would be "Can't get enough of His Love". I like the feel of the song, the way the words came together and what the song has to say. I had a lot of fun recording the song too so I suppose that's another reason I like it so much. Written by Jerry Corelli

Can’t Get Enough Of His Love
Written June 5, 1985
Words & Music by Jerry Corelli

1 Verse
Well, I’ve been up and I’ve been down.
I’ve seen the good and the bad.
Well, I guess I’ve been around.
And I know what it’s like when you don’t have a friend.
And I know what it’s like when the road has no end.

Chorus
Now on the solid rock I stand.
My feet are planted firm.
His saving grace has given me faith.
His flame will always burn.
No power on earth or Satan’s hand couldn’t keep me from His love.
Of all the things on this earth it’s His love… I can’t get enough of.
I can’t get enough of His love.

2 Verse
Well, I’ve felt pain and I’ve faced death, I’ve fought the fight.
When wrong was done to me I’d pray He’d make it right.
Poverty’s knocked more than once when relief was just in sight.
And I wonder how I ever got by without Jesus… in my life.

Palm Sunday

I wrote this song back in the 80's to discribe the events of "Palm Sunday". There didn't seem to be many songs written about Palm Sunday. At the time I registered the song with BMI it was only the eight song with that title. Now there are 16 with that title. Written by Jerry Corelli

Verse One
There came riding in on a Sunday,
on a warm nice day it was.
A man riding on a donkey,
he said he was the Son of God.

Well, the people they all shouted and cheered,
as the man came through the streets.
And they all laid down palm branches,
down before his feet.

Well, just a few days later,.. they crucified Him.
They nailed Him high on a Cross.
But, it had to happen on that day.
For Jesus' cleansing blood,.. it took our sins away.

Nation Of The Weak

"They have eyes, but they can't see. They're a part of the Nation of the weak". Throughout the song I wrote about how people think they are great and how they're greatness is compared to a mighty nation. But, the truth is that without Christ in their life they're only, or are part of, a nation of the weak. Written by Jerry Corelli

Nation of the Weak
Written September 8, 1982
Words and Music by Jerry Corelli
Verse 1
They have eyes, but they don’t see.
They have ears, but they don’t here,
They have mouths, but they don’t speak,
They’re a part of the nation of the weak.
Verse 2
They have hands, but they won’t give,
They have hearts, but they’re cold and lonely,
They have minds, but they don’t think,
They’re apart of the nation of the weak.
Verse 3
They have their gods, but the they’re silver and gold,
They have their books, but wisdom from man gets old,
They have their buildings, that can reach the highest peak,
They’re a part of the nation of the weak.
Verse 4
They have free will, but the free will is from man,
They have feet, but their feet won’t learn to stand,
They have their strength, but what they should be is meek,
They’re a part of the nation of the weak.

Faithless Among Men

Faithless among men first came to me from Joe McSorley. Joe is from England so the song was co-written on two continents. I love the style of this song and what it has to say. It's about so many people in the work who believe they are alive because they are breathing. But, in reality they aren't because they are without Christ in their heart.
