The Son of Man Words and Music by Kenneth Francis Flaherty BMI and Richard Melvin Brown SOCAN Verse The light that lit the dark The night received a spark Both The Father and The Son And The Spirit became one Verse His blood washed all our sins Away so today a new life begins Gave His life so we never die On a cross made of wood He was crucified Chorus He came from all of the years To wash away all of our tears To take away all of our fears The Son of Man is here Verse He rose on the third day The believers saw and say Others felt some circumspection Others feel the resurrection Chorus He came from all of the years To wash away all of our tears To take away all of our fears The Son of Man is here Copyright 2015 Kenneth Francis Flaherty and Richard Melvin Brown

a Cowboy in the Setting Sun Words and Music by Kenneth Francis Flaherty BMI and Richard Melvin Brown SOCAN Chorus I know I'm heading east And I know how the west was won On a horseback ride to heaven Like a cowboy in the setting sun Verse I packed my bags last night As soon as the sun did set A ride to last til light On a rainy road so wet Chorus I know I'm heading east And I know how the west was won On a horseback ride to heaven Like a cowboy in the setting sun Verse A long road did I travel Side to side and up and down The sound of crushing gravel As I left this lonesome town Chorus I know I'm heading east And I know how the west was won On a horseback ride to heaven Like a cowboy in the setting sun Verse My horse did slow her stride The night did turn to day The start of a brand new ride In a place so far away Chorus I know I'm heading east And I know how the west was won On a horseback ride to heaven Like a cowboy in the setting sun On a horseback ride to heaven Just like a cowboy in the setting sun Copyright 2014 Kenneth Francis Flaherty and Richard Melvin Brown
