garbled lyrics

I'm having issues with my lyrics being garbled (multiple words on top of each
other). The music is correct. I specify durations with the lyrics (and tried it
without, as shown in the input file). The .ly follows.

\version "2.10.33"

If someone could please help me determine what I'm doing wrong (why its wrong,
as well) and the fix, I'd be mighty appreciative. I've made slow progress on
resolving this. I'm using Ubuntu Hardy Heron on x86, if that is pertinent.

I'm revamping the original to be more suitable for me on the organ. I've not
entered the pedals but left the code in the file.


Thanks
Kenny
