‘At Last’
a Prayer
Words and music by Margo Westmoreland Blehm
In 2010, Genny asked me to write a song about prayer for a woman’s
ministries program. I have the absolute best church family. I feel
truly blessed with their support of my song writing, however humble my
efforts have been.
I call Your name in the dark
Sometimes it’s hard to believe You would listen How can the King of
the universe draw near To hear someone like me?
And yet You lift me when I’ve fallen down You know my need long before
I’ve even felt it (Mt 6:8, Rom 8:26) How can the King of the universe
love me And care about a prayer? (Phil. 4:6-7, Jn.14:14, Mk 11:24)
Chorus 1:
So we praise You Jesus, thank You for hearing us For throwing open
heaven’s doors, and raining blessings down In honor of a prayer…(Mt 7:7-8)
Our Father Which art in Heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done
On Earth as in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
Forgive our debts as we forgive our debtors And lead us not into
temptation But deliver us from evil…
Chorus 2:
For Thine is the kingdom, Thine is the power Thine is the glory
forever and forever Amen..(Mt 6:9-13)
Repeat chorus 1
Repeat second chorus 2

Rain
Words and music by Margo Westmoreland Blehm
My friend Sergio had been doing a lot of study on the latter rain.
He encouraged me to write a song about it…so I asked him for the
references. He promptly emailed me a full five pages of scriptures!
That was a bit overwhelming, and since I was working hard on this
project, I put it on the back burner. However, in late April 2014 I
was finally feeling free enough to look it over. I prayed for
guidance, and this song came together, words and music, in just one
day! (Well, starting at around 3am!) At the last minute, I asked Dale
if we could record it for this CD, to which he graciously agreed.
Despite being extremely booked, Dale got Evan’s improvisational tracks
wrapped up and the song completely done…just in time for my
birthday.
Dry bones in the valley of decision (Ez 37:1-11, Joel 3:14)
Wretched, miserable and poor and blind Naked and destitute, blistering
in the sun Believing they are rich with goods and fine. (Rev 3:17)
For years they’ve been wandering In the desert Skirting by the
fountains of the promised land…
Chorus 1:
I counsel you to buy white raiment
I counsel you to put salve on your eyes Buy from Me that gold, tried
in the fire (Rev 3:18) Without money and without a price…. (Is 55)
And pray for rain….
Behold I’m standing at the door of your heart Knocking; don’t let it
be in vain (Rev 3:20) I’ll make a way in the wilderness, and rivers
in the desert (Is 43:19) Rejoice for I’ll give to you refreshing
rain. (Joel 2:23)
I’m pouring out My spirit on My people Your young ones shall have
visions, your old ones shall dream dreams…(Joel 2:28)
-Repeat Chorus 1-
Come, let us return unto The Lord God
He will bind and heal the wounds that sin has made Than shall we know,
when He gives to us repentance He will come (to us) as rain, the
latter rain…(Hosea 6:1-3)
Then we may look forth as the morning
Fair as the moon, clear as the sun. (Songs 6:10) Let the weak say I
am strong! (Joel 3:10)
Chorus 2:
Thus says The Lord, I’ll put My spirit in you And I will open up your
graves And you shall live, and know that I’m The Lord (Ez 37:12-14)
So, pray for rain, the former and the latter rain Yes, pray for
rain…
-Repeat Chorus 1-
And let it rain….
Angels
Words and music by Margo Westmoreland Blehm
This song is about the three angels messages in Revelation 14. I
ended up including the fourth angel’s message as the emphasis to the
song. Praise God…It all comes down to the amazing, transforming
love of Jesus! Here’s the drum you asked for, Mom. Written in 2010.
Angels flying from Heaven
A glorious message are giving
To a world lost and wandering, disillusioned and deceived
Comes the everlasting gospel of hope and peace… (Rev. 14:6)
He who has ears let him hear (Rev. 13:9)
For your redemption draweth near (Lk 21:28)
The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy (Rev. 19:10)
Hear the voice of the angels ringing clear….
Chorus:
Fear God and give Him glory, His judgement has begun (Rev 14:7)
Magnify and worship the Lamb (Rev 14:1-4, 5:12)
He’s the Alpha and Omega, Beginning and the End (Rev 22:13)
Creator, Redeemer, I AM (Jn 1:3, Job 19:25, Jn 8:58, Ex 3:14)
Holy, just and good, without end. (Rom 7:12)
Babylon is fallen, is fallen (Rev 14:8, 18:2)
Her sins have reached unto Heaven (Rev 18:5)
She’s formed alliances with evil, the Dragon in a Lamb’s disguise (Rev 13&17)
Who thinks to change times and laws, her mark of lies. (Dan 7:25)
So beware of the mark and of Babylon
Be sealed in your foreheads, the time has come. (Rev 7:3)
Hear the Faithful True Witness, (Rev 3:14)
Here’s the patience of the saints…
They’ve the faith of Jesus and commandments of God. (Rev 14:12)
Chorus:
Come out of her My people, confusion is her name (Rev 18:4)
The contradicting doctrines of man…
Behold, I come quickly…if you love Me, follow Me (Jn 14:15, Mt 16:24)
Come back to My commandments again. (Rev 22:14, Jn 15:10)
They’re holy, just and good, without end.
And I saw angels flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting
gospel…Saying with a loud voice, “Fear God! and give glory to Him;
for the hour of His judgment is come.” “Babylon is fallen!” “Come
out of her my people!” Here is the patience of the saints; here are
those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. He who
has ears let him hear. (Rev 14:6-8,12; 18:4)
Come out of her My people, if you love Me, follow Me Come back to My
commandments again They’re holy just and good without end.
The Spirit and the bride say “come” (if you love Me follow Me) And let
him who hears say “come” (if you love Me follow Me) And let him who
thirsts drink the water of life freely Even so, Lord Jesus Even so,
Lord Jesus
Come…. (Rev 22:17,20)
Broken
Words and music by Margo Westmoreland Blehm
Chorus written in 2000, verses in 2011. This song expresses some of
my struggles with attempting to live a victorious life. The bottom
line is that it’s absolutely impossible. Unless, that is, we’ve
totally given upon ourselves. It’s only at that point that God can
fully work out His will in us, which he has absolutely promised to do.
I’m still learning this…thanks for being patient with me, all of you
who know me! Inspired by Jude 24, Ephesions 3: 20, Philippians 2:13
and 4:13.
It seems to me that I should be much further down this road The path
that leads to Your heart has left me feeling cold.
I look with pure despondency upon my intermittent power I long for
Your sweet victory, every moment, every hour…
And I kneel in desperation, Lord, can You help a soul like me?
Im just a broken cistern poured out on the floor All my efforts leave
me wasted, all my failures pile high Oh, Lord, You know that I cant
do this anymore But ironically, this is where You help me see This is
where you needed me to be.
Just how long will it take me to learn the power that comes with
prayer When will I finally see that I could always find You there?
Too many times I’m careless, so many plans run through my mind And
instead of knowing Your heart, disappointment’s what I find.
And a part of me is listening, and a part is drawn away Ive got one
eye on Your face, one on the door So, Lord, I beg for Your
forgiveness, and for a sense of my great need Drive me to my knees,
contrite and broken to the core And ironically, this is where You heal
for free Here’s exactly where You needed me.
Chorus:
I was a shattered vessel
None could heal me til I fell and I was broken on the Rock Yes, a
shattered vessel Couldn’t put it together til I fell upon the rock And
broken on my knees, yes, broken on my knees You made me whole.
And I kneel in desperation….
Repeat chorus
You Are
Words and music by Margo Westmoreland Blehm
While living in Ukiah I drove to the coast at any and every chance I
got….my favorite place in the whole world. These drives were always
inspirational to me. This song came to me while on Low Gap Road
driving toward Little River in 1999, where Rob and I eventually got
married, at my dear friend Carolyn’s coast house. Inspired by Romans
8:18-39, and Psalm 34
Father, I praise You for everything You Are Time and again, You
overwhelm me Incredible glimpses, pictures of You There’s a growing
sense of how much You must love me.
The mountains and the sea draw me near You Reminding me of what You
have done The wealth of You outweighs every hardship and tear And
carries me safe through the storm.
Chorus:
You Are the reason for the sunshine
You Are the reason for the rainbow in the cloud You Are the reason for
the silver lining There is hope through the pain
There is help through the storm
There is hope through the pain because You Are.
You Are my Father….I’m just a child
Easily bewildered and frightened
But always I’m learning it’s safe by Your side In You I am loved and
enlightened.
Everyday, Your power amazes me
I see it when I open my eyes
Your wisdom shines and makes the dark places bright Exalts the truth,
exposes the lies.
Chorus:
You Are the One that gives life meaning You Are the One that makes
sense of it all You Are the reason I keep singing There is hope
through the pain There is help through the storm There is hope through
the pain, because You Are.
Holy Knight
Words and music by Margo Westmoreland Blehm
This song is based on Ephesians 6:10-18. I wrote most of this in 1999 after hearing that a majority of people polled believed in alien life of some sort.
My hope is that the truth about the great controversy between good and evil may become a little clearer, and that people will understand what transcending love and power there is in God.
We are not alone here, most everyone suspects
And you know that’s absolutely true
But the entities we’re dealing with are not as they depict
In movies and science fiction views.
The beings that hide outside our sight are closer than we know
And the key to our survival lies in the ones we chose to follow~
Theres a battle for your mind….It’s a battle in your mind. (2Cor. 10: 4-5)
The lion of evil prowls the earth seeking whom he may devour. (1 Peter 5:8)
His forces work to wreck our destiny
But messengers of light are near to help us overpower
Darkness and iniquity. (Ps 27, Ps 34:7)
And we are now being called to chose the side that we’ll fight for… (Joshua 24:15)
Will you be a knight in Gods army or be a casualty of war?
In this battle for your heart…it’s a battle in your heart.
Chorus 1:
Will you be shaken when tested by the sword
Will your feet stumble or be planted on His word?
Will you be a Holy Knight in shining armor?
With the shield of faith before you, and the Spirit for your sword (Eph 6:16-17)
Wearing truth and the helmet of salvation. (Eph 6:14,17)
Are you truly on the side you say you’re fighting for?
With the breast plate of righteousness and shoes of the gospel
That you may be able to stand…(Eph 6: 14-15)
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood
But against principalities and powers
Against the darkness of this world, and wickedness on high
Wherefore take unto you the armor of God…
That you may be able to withstand in the evil day
And having done all to stand….(Eph 6:12-13)
Chorus 2:
Finally my brethren, be strong in The Lord, and in the power of His might
That you may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil…(Eph 6:10-11)
With the shield of faith before you and the Spirit for your sword
Wearing truth and the helmet of salvation
Making sure you’re on the side you say you’re fighting for
In this battle for your mind
Its a battle for your heart
Its a battle for your soul.
Homesick
Words and music by Margo Westmoreland Blehm
The tune and words to this song came to me one day in 2000 while
driving on River Road in Calistoga on the way home from my Auntie
Miriam’s house. I guess I daydream a lot about Heaven, especially
when in nature. Inspired by 1 Corinthians 2:9
Daydreams of Heaven stay on my mind
Yes, I’m longing for Heaven….sometimes it seems so very far But I’m
holding onto the pictures You sent And I look at them everyday…
chorus:
And I’m coming home, Jesus
Cause I’m missing You
So homesick for You, Jesus
Sometimes it seems I cannot wait another day Yes it seems I just cant
wait another day.
Pictures of Heaven hang on my wall
Distant fuzzy outlines; I fill them in with my mind But the letter You
sent me says that Heaven’s not so far And that it’s better than any
daydream.
-Repeat chorus
Compass
Words and music by Margo Westmoreland Blehm
For some reason I can totally relate to the wilderness experience, probably due to my thickheadedness! God has had to lead me through the desert more than once.
But, even though I’ve always hated hot and bright (just ask Shelley and Susie)…I can say I am truly thankful as I look back.
God has never let me down. This song was written in 1999 at one of my favorite bluffs overlooking the ocean near Mendocino.
So He took you away, and now you find you’re living in the wilderness
You left your friends behind, and you’re feeling so alone You’re
searching for the purpose, for the reason you’re here If you’d known
how it would be, would you have had the nerve to go?
Chorus:
Sometimes it’s hard giving up the reins When you cant see from here to
there, clueless as a blind man in a maze But you must believe the God
Who sees will never lead you astray. (Prov 3:5) Put your broken
compass in His hands and let Him show you the Way. (Ps37:4-5,23)
So you’re living in the desert, eating wild honey with a stone for
your pillow So many broken dreams, far from where you planned to go
But remember John and Moses, and others led to a wild lonely land
It seems before you reach the summit, you’ve got to travel thru the valley of the shadow..
And you may think you know a better way Than the one that He has shown
But if you clearly saw what God can see You’d find the path you’re on
will lead you straight home….(Jer 29:11)
Put your old maps and charts away and let Him guide you Never try to
navigate on your own He’s to wise to make mistakes No, He never makes
mistakes. (Eph 3:20) Let His word show you the way like a shining
beacon.
-repeat chorus
Visions
Words and music by Margo Westmoreland Blehm
Written in Ukiah, in 1997
There were men of long ago who walked a close walk with The Lord And
they were chosen to reveal the mind of God In dreams they saw His plan
to bring His people back to Him And faithfully they relayed the words
of God
Visions of beauty they saw with their own eyes Secrets of the future
and past, truth dispelling the lies That we once believed in, being
blindly led astray God chose to help lead us to freedom with a vision.
Now times are closing on this earth, our days are shorter than we know
Gods bending near to strengthen us for the end of time He chose one
who would not shrink from duty, one who’d be true to the call To help
prepare us, help restore us, through those visions sublime.
Visions of eternity they saw with their own eyes Mysteries of Heaven
and earth, glimpses of the prize That we’ve been offered if we would
only chose To keep our hearts focused on that vision.
Bridge:
And the dragon made war with the woman, who keeps the commandments of
God, and has the testimony of Jesus.
Revelation 12:17.
And the testimony of Jesus
is the spirit of prophecy.
Revelation 19:10
Revelations of His mighty plan described in brilliant detail We are a
chosen generation, watched by the universe and worlds Through us He’ll
vindicate His name, as we reflect His precious face If we keep our
eyes on Jesus, Who is our vision We must keep our eyes on Jesus….He
is our vision of beauty.
Tears
Words and music by Margo Westmoreland Blehm
How do you explain God’s love to someone who has been torn up and
wounded by life? All I know is, God suffers along with us, more than
we could ever imagine. Because He loves us infinitely, His wounds
transcend ours, infinitely. This song was my feeble attempt to share
God’s love with such a person. Written in 2011.
There is someone not far away, so much closer than you know Even if
you were the one to say good bye You were hurting, crying tears of
pain, feeling lost and so alone Wondering how a God of love could pass
you by…
-Chorus-
But don’t you know that He loves you, He loves you more than life He
was rejected and despised, held out His arms and died Just to have you
by His side… (Is 53:3-5) Don’t You know you’re the apple, the apple
of His eye… (Deut 32:10, Zechariah 2:8) He’s been there all the
time, he was there when you cried…
He put your tears in a bottle. (Ps 56:8)
Can a mother forget her child, can she forget her nursing babe?
Yay she may forget, but I will not forget. (Is 49:15)
Comfort, comfort yourself in Me…I’ll never leave you nor forsake you
(Is 40:1, Deut 31:6, Heb 12:5) See I’ve engraved you on the palms of
My hands. (Is 49:16)
-Chorus-
Child, do not fear, I am with you (I will help you) Be not dismayed
for I am your God (I will uphold you). (Is41:10) I will be with you
til the end of the world, the end of the world… (Mt 28:20)
Why do you say, ‘My way is hidden from the Lord’
‘And my just claim is passed over by my God’? (Is 40:27)
His eye is on the sparrow; He clothes the lilies of the field (Lk 12:6-7)
Will He not much more remember you? (Mt 6:28-34)
-Chorus-
At Last
Words and music by Margo Westmoreland Blehm
Written in 2011….Looking forward to the conversation between Jesus, the angels, and the saved,
when sin and suffering are finally ended. It’s a song that came during one of those times when I was feeling especially deeply the desire for that day…
when we’ll sing the song of Moses and the Lamb, on that sea of glass, at last…
Rejoice with Me, I have found My lambs (Lk 15:6-7)
At last they are home safe and sound
Prepared as a bride, adorned for her husband (Rev 21:2) With jewels,
precious jewels in her crown.
It is finished, this conflict is ended (Nahum 1:9)
This long night of woe is over my friends It is finished, this great
controversy No more tears, no more pain, no…(Rev 21:4)
Salvation belongs to our God, Who sits on the throne And He Who sits
on the throne shall dwell among them He’ll lead them to fountains of
water, and wipe every tear from their eyes
Salvation belongs to our God, and to the Lamb… (Rev. 7:10,15-17)
It is finished, this conflict is ended This long night of woe is over
my friends…
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain of all power And riches and wisdom,
strength, and honor and glory and blessing (Rev.5:12)
You gave up Your life for Your friends (Zechariah 13:6)
Your erring and wayfaring lambs. (Is 53:6)
Rejoice with Me, I have found My lambs (Zephaniah 3:17)
At last they are shining as gold
They wandered away, far from the Father At last they are safe in the
fold
Amen; blessing and glory and wisdom, thanksgiving and honor and power
And might be to God. (Rev. 7:12)
You gave up Your life for Your friends Your erring and wayfaring
lambs.
Rejoice with Me, I have found My lambs…
