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. I have
visited the Wakarusa Country/Gospel Jamboree in Wakarusa, Indiana where most of
the Singers and Musicians are very good. One night when I returned home I told
Sandy that of all the 20 or more Musicians that were there, I was the worst one
among them. I pray that Jesus will make my life useful as I go along, let me not
rust away, give me words for a song. My musical desire is to make a joyful
noise unto the Lord. Some of the songs below offer you a choice of WMA or MP3 format.
Farmers And Preachers is the first song that I wrote and sang in public. It is a true story about some
of my ancestors.

"It's lake effect love, and it's coming down hard,
It will stick
close to you, it will cover your heart,
It's blowing
and drifting, coming down from above,
A blizzard in
the making, it's lake effect love."
