Welcome to Lilypond, Jeff. :)
What you're trying to do I would approach with more than one set of
lyrics, coded as verseOne, verseTwo, etc., and with the voices separated
into variables that can be assembled in a separate \score block. I've
taken your code and made an example of how I would approach it, and it
looks very similar to the top example on your website. The only thing
that doesn't look quite right is the lyric extender line, so you might
check into this in the Notation Reference and/or Learning Manual.
code attached.

How do you create lyrics for some brief alternative notes existing in
repeated sections (when there are not enough notes to justify duplicating
the section)? Here is a demonstration picture of what I am trying to do:

The red is what I can't figure, either with or without a second-verse of
lyrics. I cannot seem to add anything else without causing a problem. The
below lilypond code is a demonstration of my problem.
Thank you for any advice. I am new to LilyPond, but I'm a programmer and
have an excellent first impression of it--and I was going to spend 90 bucks,
when this is free??!!
