Of Evermore ©2025 Robert George


I was dangling from a rope of sand
Till I found the mighty hope of man
So let this world deny
That You unfurled the sky

For somewhere in the foggy long ago
You knew then what man still doesn’t know
From a bygone cliff
To a timeless shore
My soul is free
And is of forevermore

Somehow in the dark of night
There was born an arc of light
Light that I had never seen
Is a hope that’s evergreen

For somewhere in the foggy long ago
You knew then what man still doesn’t know
From a bygone cliff
To a timeless shore
My soul is free
And is of forevermore
Forevermore

What we see and touch
Won’t amount to much
What’s unseen is what will matter
Every star confirms
We’re here on heaven’s terms
Each one is a rung on Jacob’s ladder

For somewhere in the foggy long ago
You knew then what man still doesn’t know
From a bygone cliff
To a timeless shore
My soul is free
And is of forevermore

Yes, my soul is free
And is of forevermore
Forevermore…

Love this Robert

Every star confirms

did have a hard time following the grammar in this You knew then what now still doesn’t know "now" doesn't know??? probably but the listener may be confused

Overall??? Expresses faith well, but relative to your other work, I wanted more.

Dunno what, but somehow did not grab me like your other lyrics have

Hi, John. I was iffy on that line myself, so I changed it slightly. Whenever you do that, you can always see the stitches, but I think it'll be ok for first time readers.

over the last ten years or so, I've moved slowly toward lyrics that have a memorable title, maybe one thought-provoking idea but are metered and structured for singing. I dropped lines from this that were "deeper" for singability.

When I started paying attention to meter/structure nearly 20 years ago, my stuff became less interesting to read, but my demos got way better.

ps...I have worked on making the rhymes more interesting....

Edgar Allan Poe would be pleased to see you stayed awake in class

Hi Robert,

It has been a long time. I hope you've been well. I have been browsing through some of your material and noticed that you have changed your style somewhat from days of old. I always thought your style reminded me of Marty Robbins. But the newer stuff seems more modern as well. Incorporating different styles with the same descriptive genius you've always demonstrated in your lyrics. Has anyone recorded one of your songs and put it on an album yet? Seems to me that you are definitely in that range as a writer to be considered seriously for even the most modern types of music whether it be Americana or modern country music. I enjoyed the read. It has been so long since I gave a critique, I wouldn't know where to start just yet. But I like the new stuff. Keep it up.

Hi, Wesley, and welcome back to JPF!

Yeah, my style has changed over the years. I never did hit it big. But I did end up with over a dozen indie cuts. (I think I have another on the way).

My two most recent are Hills of Geronimo by Craig Bickhardt and Lean on my Love by Elles Bailey. You can hear em for free on YouTube or download em on Amazon!! I think they're pretty good.

Below is my Soundclick site. If you go down aways, Heavy Cross to Bear is a demo that's been recorded twice, and is a favorite of mine. You might like the rest of em, too.
