I take a breath While you're breathing As we stare into Each others eyes I feel your love In my being What's mine is your What's yours is mine As the stars Fade away Into another day We will stay Eternally In this serenity I take a step While you're stepping As we're walking through Our merry lives I feel your love Your heart beating I love you girl For all of time In my heart I know you are My perfect part I love you girl I love you girl This is forever

This night is amazing The clouds rearranging The light is falling, tumbling from the skies And life full of hope, dear And rain makes us float, dear The waters flooding, mixing in our eyes And often times we pass it by But at any time we can see the sky And marvel at the wonders high An know of God just by this sight The sky is His canvas To always enchant us And to always bring a smile to our faces To all who are tired Or desperate to feel loved Just look up to see the face of God And often times we pass it by But at any time we can see the sky And marvel at the wonders high An know of God just by this sight

Hospital Bed 03:27
Go down that avenue Leave the scent of your sweet perfume It's quite alright my dear, I'll be okay That old bed wasn't made for you You should be dancing and made anew I'll be right behind you one of these days So I carry on by myself I have peace of mind Your love under my belt Though we held on through sickness and health You went on home I'll see you real soon, farewell Your affection is my renew I'll do all that I promised you You've molded me into the man I am As I sway in my chair I sing Reliving our lovely dream Our romance has only begun, I await my rest So I carry on by myself I have peace of mind Your love under my belt Though we held on through sickness and health You went on home I'll see you real soon, farewell

Miracle Girl 03:12
What have I ever done to deserve such a beautiful girl in a beautiful world? It must be that my prayers have worked, you're such a lovely girl in a lovely world Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah My girl is a miracle Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah My girl is a miracle My heart is yours and yours is mine As we desperately cling to each others minds My darling girl, with our hands intertwined Would you dance with me? We can dance all the time Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah My girl is a miracle Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Holding out for nothing more than the presence of us and the Lord I must say my darling girl, you're too pretty to be a part of my world Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah My girl is a miracle Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah I'll sing this song for you all day long I'll sing this song for you all night long I'll sing this song for you all year long I'll sing this song for you, miracle girl

Remember me in your time of haziness too I'm sorry that you don't know what is true And what is a part of your mind going dark I hate that I can't trade you places and fade But by your side I will remain And show you that you and I have been here before My heart is broken worse than I can handle And I promise you I'll never leave your side The only reason I live on is to see your face I promise you I'll always have your hand in mine Underneath lay all that you have known And buried down and deep below Is what we made when we were just kids in love Your mind is fading faster than you know And I'm aware that soon you'll go I'm embracing what little time we have My heart is broken worse than I can handle And I promise you I'll never leave your side The only reason I live on is to see your face I promise you I'll always have your hand in mine

The Healer 03:17
Verily there's truth before your eyes The only thing in the world that satisfies The God of faith and hope and love is alive Waiting for you to ask to be revived Be healed Be healed Be healed Alpha and Omega the only one God the Father Spirit and the Son Perched on the edge of his seat since you were made Waiting for you to say the word and come to your aid Be healed Be healed Be healed Be healed

Well as the roses are blossoming fast So your beauty grows, forever may it last Oh how I await the day when we can dance and sing in love Oh dear, I would ask for your Hand right Now but I'm Afraid you would Let me down Oh please forgive me because I cannot Give you your rightful crown Girl I would walk a million miles just to Hear you say those three little words But I don't think that you could return that love unless of Course you had fancied me first Girl I would dance and sing aloud for you With a broom I'd sweep the shores But your heart is fond of another prince While I'm a poor boy at your door Well what hurts the most is the fact that you Already know I would give you world But all I have is my love for you And these dirty, raggedy clothes Oh dear, my dear How I wish I could know if you Felt the same as I do... Oh How I wish I could Be the man that who would Hold you close and kiss you Girl I pray to God everyday that you would See me for who I am How I've been there to catch you when you fall and how I've been there to hold your hand Oh God, if me and her are to be together one day oh Please won't you let me know I can't just sit here and squander about while she chases a love might not be so In this cursed state of mind and these bloody chains I'm conflicted as you've been told I'd rather have you think of me as a pain then in my Cowardice never know Well he's invited you to go away with him so I Guess its farewell for now Day after day I will miss you and try to be happy without you somehow

about

McKenna Hampton's second release, "The Sky Is His Canvas", explores the emotions of true love and beauty, in a way that expresses sincerity and purity from his unique perspective. The entire project being carried out in his home, McKenna utilized every instrument he had with the skills he'd taught himself, writing music on a whim and recording in short bursts when he wasn't busy with other responsibilities. Born in the summer of 1995, McKenna Hampton was home-schooled and raised in the country hills of Oklahoma.

McKenna Hampton Guthrie, Oklahoma

I'm a self taught musician & songwriter from Guthrie, OK. I've taught myself everything I know about playing instruments, singing, recording, mixing, etc. My goal is to make music that everyone will enjoy and connect with, and that will plant the love of God in their hearts.
