about

This is a song I wrote in those ‘Honeymoon years’ as a new believer, after receiving a letter from my best friend—almost my only true friend at that time. I had just recently had my encounter with Jesus of Nazareth, which changed my life forever and put me on the path I continue on until today.

This friend had watched me in my restless search for love, truth, peace, and true happiness, and was the first person on earth I wanted to share my newfound joy with when I found it at last. It was also my invitation for him to come join me in my mission to share Jesus’ love and message with the world.

Although we never worked or lived together again, he went on to become a pastor and render his life and service to God where he was, and I the same. His conversion in our youth was a point of anguish for me (I felt betrayed), and my conversion against all odds a few years later was a reason to write him about and rejoice together.https://jerrypaladino.bandcamp.com/album/new-songs-in-my-mouth-golden-anniversary-album

lyrics

I read your letter, I really love you
It sure was good to hear from you again
Things are great here tho’ I really miss you
Each day my life seems to begin again

CHORUS:
And I‘d love to be there with you
to tell you of my joy
I’d (love to be there with you to show you
How this little boy’s been changed.

I found the answer, I found the thing that
You watched me search for for so long
I was so restless, content with nothing
Tho’ things seemed good to all, to me they all seemed wrong

CHORUS:
And I‘d love to be there with you
to tell you of my joy
I’d (love to be there with you to show you
How this little boy’s been changed.

I want to give this to those who’ll take it
A love like this is truly meant for all
They all need Jesus, but who will give it?
Is there a man out there to answer to the call

CHORUS:
I’d love to see you here right now
To tell you of my joy
I’d love to see you here right now
To show you how this little boy’s being changed
