Give Me Words For A Song   Jim Clark Music page

I bought a guitar in 2004, never played one before in my life. After learning a couple of chords on the guitar I wanted to try singing and my wife indicated that she heard a lot of awful, strange sounds and noises.  My musical desire is to make a joyful noise unto the Lord. I pray that Jesus will make my life useful as I go along, let me not rust away,  give me words for a song.  "Farmers And Preachers"  is the first song that I wrote and sang in public. It is a true story about some of my ancestors. My latest song, written August 5, 2009, is TEACH ME YOUR WAY
