MY HOPE IS IN THE LORD

Verse 1
They heard God say, have you considered my servant Job
He’s one who’s faithful in all that he knows
Job lost his family, his land and all his wealth
When he wouldn’t curse God, Job lost his health
Job’s cries could be heard from the ashes where he lay
Through the pain and sorrow Job had to say

Chorus
My hope is in the Lord
I will trust in Him, and Him alone
Though death knocks at my door
My hope is in the Lord

Verse 2
He sat in the chair as the doctor broke the news
It could be a week, a month or maybe two
The cancer has spread, death will find its way
There’s nothing we can do, there’s nothing I can say
Then the young man raised his trembling hands
As his eyes filled with tears
And you could hear him softly say, through the pain and the fear

Chorus

Bridge
Though fear surrounds me and it seems there is no hope
There’s one thing I’m sure of
There’s one thing that I know

Chorus

Verse 1
When the world as you know it has ended
And the darkness won’t give way to dawn
In your hour of grief its so hard to believe life goes on.

When you pray for a way to endure it
But a part of your heart is gone
Though you can’t see it now, still you know somehow
life goes on.

Chorus
Life goes on
There is never an end
What was dead lives again
Jesus promised that life goes on
For the ones who believe
will live eternally
So don’t fear the great unknown
Remember that life goes on.

Verse 2
So say to the doubt that would keep you
in a place you have never belonged
I have nothing to dread for my Father said
life goes on
And one day when death comes to call you
Say farewell to this world that you’ve known
As you leave earth behind you will wake to find
life goes on.

Bridge
Our troubles will end - the trials will pass
And our tears will all be dry
When the struggle is over all sorrow will cease
And death itself will die.

I’ve Never Been Loved Like You

Chorus:
I’ve never been loved like you
No one ever cared like you
Each promise you made is true
I stand so amazed
I thought for sure that your love would end
When I failed you Lord time and again
But my failures are living proof
That I’ve never been loved like you

Verse 1:
He was dying to love someone
To love someone like me
He gave all he had for love
He spent it all on me
When my heart laid eyes on him
This old world grew strangely dim
I knew that my search was through
Lord I’ve never been loved like you

Chorus

Verse 2:
The search is on for love
Something real something new
Every heartbeats a waste of time
Till you find someone true
You make everyday complete
And make every moment new
Such a treasured gift I have
Lord this love I found in you

Chorus

Tag:
No one ever cared for me like Jesus
But my failures are living proof
That I’ve never been loved like you

The Winds of The World

C

Jesus is with me when the storm clouds gather

He’s standing by my side when I hear the thunder roll

He holds my hand when I begin to tremble

When the winds of this world are blowing strong

V

Jesus is a fence around His children

His grace is sufficient to stand the storm

His word is a promise we can stand on

When the winds of this world are blowing strong

V

Satan is moving to and fro throughout the land

Seeking out who he may devour

But he was defeated at Golgotha

That day when Jesus made him out a liar

V

Satan is always sneaking around the gate

Trying to lead a sheep astray

But He that is in us is so much greater than him

So then rebuke him and chase him away

V

If you are caught up in the winds of the world

With no joy in your life at all

Just give your heart to Jesus

He’ll always understand and He will never never let you fall

Studio recording is hard intense work but we have fun, too. One of our studio musicians, Jeremy Medkiff, sometimes goes “in character” and becomes Brother Marion. Here is one of his episodes:

Calvary and Amazing Grace

An ordinary cross
An extraordinary man
A simple execution of a brilliant master plan
That would purchase the redemption of the souls of all mankind
And the ransomed’s song will echo through all time

Amazing grace brought hope forever
All sin erased remembered never
I live again because He took my place
Thanks to Calvary and amazing grace

The debt of sin I owe was more than I could ever pay
Though I would try a lifetime there was just no earthly way
But the precious lamb of glory came and said He’d take my place
And in blood He signed my pardon saved by grace

It’s deeper
It’s wider
It’s stronger
It’s higher
It’s deeper
It’s wider than anything my eyes can see

Realms of Glory Bright

On the planet far below the throne of heaven
In the darkness untold generations passed
An ocean of despair where man was sinking
There seemed no refuge on this sea so vast
But God was listening and He heard our helpless cry
From the realms of glory bright

Though the Lamb was born slain before the world’s foundation
Wrapped in mortal flesh He came to Bethlehem
And emptied of His glory we would watch Him
Take up our cross our punishment our sin
And there was silence as the cross was lifted high
In the realms of glory bright

Now our song is oh to grace how great a debtor
Lifted from each ransomed soul that’s been redeemed
And we know because of Christ we’ll have forever
We’ll fall down at His feet and we will sing
For one day He will call our names and we will fly
To the realms of glory bright

Oh hallelujah hallelujah
Gone is the curse of death the fear of night
Our salvation meets celebration
For the realms of glory bright

Just a few days ago, we sang at a church that I had sung in many years ago with the first group I sang with, the Song Masters. We had a great evening and as we closed the service, I gave an invitation for anyone who wanted to receive Christ. No hands were raised, so we prayed for all the other needs. While I was standing at the product table, a middle-aged lady with a little girl came up to me. The lady had tears streaming down her face and the little girl was pressed up against the lady. The little girl didn’t look anything like the lady, in fact, the lady was reddish blond and look like she might be old enough to be the grandmother. The girl had dark hair and eyes and looked like she might be Native American. The lady said “this is my daughter and she’s one of the ‘broken ones’. We adopted her this year.” She began to tell me that the little girl had told her during the invitation that she wanted to have Jesus in her heart. I had made the statement that if you just couldn’t raise your hand in a public place to see one of us after the service. I knelt down and ask the little girl if she wanted to ask Jesus into her heart and she nodded. I explained to her that we need to tell Jesus we are sorry for our sin and ask him to live in our hearts. She repeated a simple sinners prayer with me. After we had prayed, I asked her if she knew where she would go if she died. A big smile came across her beautiful face and she said “heaven”. I said, “that’s right and do you know why you will go to heaven?” She pointed to her heart and simply said, “Jesus”. When I asked how old she was she told me she was seven years old. Then I asked her what her name was and she said “Angel!” I told her she was Jesus’ angel now and she threw her little arms around my neck and hugged me tightly. So many times, we can get discouraged and wonder if what we do, whether it is singing, teaching, preaching, or any other job that spreads the gospel, is making a difference in this world. It only takes one little dark haired girl named Angel to know that it does!

As you can see, we have designated a special place on this site for prayer requests, our testimonies of how God has answered our prayers and encouragement to each other in our Christian life. We want this to be a place for you to be uplifted and strengthened and for you to know that others share in your struggles and burdens. 

I’d like to ask all of you to pray for us and our upcoming recording, that God will lead us, send us exactly the right songs and bless our efforts.

Just recently there were some very severe storms in the eastern United States and one night last week we happened upon an accident on the interstate near Greensboro, North Carolina. We discovered that a tornado had ripped through that very location only five minutes ahead of us. We could very well have been involved in such an incident or worse, but God has been so good to protect us in our travels and we’re very thankful. We know that God’s hand has stayed with us because so many people have prayed for us and we don’t take that lightly. 

We know that your prayers are effective because we feel them and they affect our lives, and so we encourage all of you to share with us and each other. What are you praying for? What would you like everyone to help you pray about? How has God answered your prayers?

Hello and welcome!

Thank you for checking out our new site! We hope you’ll come back again and again and become part of the family Tree.

We’ve just begun working on a brand new Talley Trio recording! Our first studio dates for tracking are in June and so we are hard at work choosing songs and arranging them, and we need your help. Now obviously, there are too many songs that come in for you to listen to and review all of them with us, so we want you to give us an idea of the types of songs you like to hear us perform best.

We’d like you to tell us which Talley song is your favorite and what makes it your favorite. Is it the lyric? Is it the style of music? Is it the featured singer? We want to know what you like the most and why. If you have a special story or testimony associated with that song, we’d love to hear that too! You are welcome to share about whatever Talley song you like, be it on a Trio recording or solo recording by one of the Talleys.

Those whose comments are posted will receive a FREE mp3 download of a limited-release Talley Trio song! You will be asked to provide your email address, and an email will be sent to you with a link and password through which you will receive the free download.

Tell us what you love about Talley music and help us record an album that you will love!

Thank you for your input! We’ll be waiting to hear from you…….
