This poem/song is dedicated to my brother, Dale Campbell, who passed away November, 2003. He was a great brother, wonderful husband and father and a true soldier for God. Telling Everyone* By Steve Merka Copyright© 2000 I want to dance in Your Light To the music of my heart; I want to bathe in salvation, Telling everyone of Your love. I want to share your forgiveness, Of our sins at I want to sing to the highest, Telling everyone of Your love. I want to reach the dream of dreams, Seeing all my family; I want to go to Your Kingdom, Telling everyone of Your Love. I want to see the face of faces, Viewing Jesus Christ my Lord; I want to kneel at the cross, Telling everyone of Your Love. And when my time is over, And earthly breath’s no more; I want to say my last few words, Telling everyone of Your love. *Dedicated to the Glory of God, in memory of my brother, John Dale Campbell
This is the very first poem/song God allowed me to write. It is based on something my mother, Lucille Merka, used to say to me: "Blood is thicker than water." She fell to cancer in December, 1966. I still miss her, every day of my life.

Blood’s thicker than water,
Is what I’ve always heard;
Ever since my childhood days,
Long, long ago.
But I’m here to tell you,
That ain’t really true;
Blood’s thicker than everything,
Including my sin
Jesus Christ died for me,
Up on
Laid down his life for me
Up on
His blood has wash away
All my sin and grief
And given me freedom
And much needed relief.
Just look around and you’ll see
What I’m talking about
Jesus Christ is everywhere
In all the world though out.
Jesus Christ died for me,
Up on
Laid down is life for me
Up on
His love is waiting for you
Just like it did for me;
You too can feel the joy
You too can see.
That Jesus Christ died for you
Up on
Laid down his life for you
Upon on
