Ken Holt: Lyrics & More

This song is a snapshot of who I am, acknowledging that things "turn out fine" by the grace of God.

If you ever couldn't do a pull up when everyone else could..., or been the last one chosen when teams are picked, then this song is especially for you.

Songwriter: Jim Drown. Originally recorded by the Blend in 1978 on MCA Records. Check out the Rusty Rocket link for more on Jim Drown.

Whatever your trade, you need the tools. These tools can be found in the Character tool box. They come in handy for spiritual survival.

Written for, and dedicated to my dad, Ken Sr.

My version of the Doxology. When you sit down and make a list, there really are quite a few things to be thankful for.

Songwriter: Pete Seeger, 1961. A timeless song asking a timeless question. What do you think?

Songwriters: John Lennon and Paul McCartney. If Lennon were still alive, he'd probably be singing this song at a peace rally in Central Park.

Songwriter: Helen Lemmel, 1922. I wonder what Helen would say about my 3 cars and big screen TV. Any thoughts?

Songwriter: Daniel Schutte. This is one hymn I wish I had written. It's like the Presbyterian "national anthem."

Someone said, "You'll never find out what you can do, until you do all you can to find out." Do What U Can Do, that's really all you can do anyway. And, by the grace of God, that's enough.

"Someone may take you serious if you practice what you preach." No pressure there!

An advertizer once said, "Go for the gusto." Another way of saying that is, "Live Life, Give Life. Give It All You Got!"

From the stage...to the promised land...to the stage...to the promised land...to the stage... It's not an ARRIVAL, it's a JOURNEY. This song tells about one of those major intersections.
