songs

I wrote a song for Shanna and sang it at our wedding reception. At the time I just sang it without the music, and I am still in the process of writing the music, so eventually I will record the song as it was intended to be heard. Still, the words themselves were what I most wanted to share with my bride, and now I'd like to share them here as well.


You Are Not Alone Anymore

You shine a light
in a cold and empty room
You bring joy wherever you are
I had never known
what it was truly like to come home
Until I found this rest in your eyes

Now these words I say
will carry far beyond this day

You are not alone anymore
I'll be here beside you
through the years and through the storms
I'll be the one to keep you safe and sound
and hold you all night long


These tears of joy
treasures from your eyes
Show me so much more of you
A heart that loves so freely
a soul that truly cares
You keep giving all you can give

All I have is yours
My life, my heart and soul

You are not alone anymore
I'll be here beside you
through the years and through the storms
I'll be the one to keep you safe and sound
I'll be the one who will always be here
to hold you all night long

More recently I began writing another song for the love of my life, and here is what I have so far:


We Have Each Other

Speak to me, words so sweet
Without you I would be lost
Lonely roads can still lead me home
If I follow the sound of your voice

Some will stay, and some will leave
but I know you are here with me

We have, we have each other don't we?
now and forever, and I will never leave you now
Stand here, right by my side and we will
walk hand in hand through this life, thankful every day

(work in progress)

Music and songwriting is something that really matters to me and I want to share more of it with others. Some of my songs are like the ones above, romantic and sweet, but most of them are focused on faith, praise, encouragement, other relationships, life, etc. If you're interested in my music and songs feel free to email me at music@ryanandshanna.com, and I can share more of what I have written so far.

If you want to help me write and compose more and get my music out there for others to enjoy you are welcome to donate below if it's something you believe in.

Donations are completely voluntary and not tax deductible. This page was not included on the blog to generate income, but to share some of my lyrics and my contact info. I will continue toward my musical goals either way, any donations will only help me to reach them sooner. Thanks.
