1. UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
Once someone asked me, is there really such a thing as true love, given unconditionally
He said, I’ve read the story, yet I’ve never seen,
I told him I have, and it is more than just a story.
Love came down in all of its glory, I was weak, love was strong,
Love took me in when I didn’t belong.
Then He said to me, look around what do you see?
The world is full of hate, despair, and misery. I said I know, but there is more,
Sometimes what you see, depends on what you’re looking for.
Love, came down, in all of its glory,
When you’re weak, love is strong,
Love can heal, all of the wrong.
I look around, what do I see, love came down for you and me,
(or Love came down unconditionally)
Call out today, Love will not turn away.
2. TIME
The days go by, and I wonder how can I,redeem my time
it seems like there's never enough time to do
all of the things that I'd like to do, especially for you.
I know that you love me just as I am
saved by grace, but sometimes I feel like my like is just a race,
a race against time no matter how hard I try.
I know that one day I'll stand in awe alone in your oresence,
so i want to be more like you that's what life is for
help me to make the most of each day that I may see
more of you living thru me in every way in all that I do.
In my heart look forward to the day when time is no more
the former things have all passed away
when day and night the earth is covered in your light.
I know that one day I'll stand in awe alone in your presence,
so i want to be more like you that's what life is for
help me to make the most of each day that I may see
more of you living thru me in every way in all that I do.
3. WHEN I FIRST MET YOU
When I first met you, I didn't know it then.
All we would do together, you are so much more than a friend.
Even when this life seemed unsure, we always knew what we stood for.
This world can never bring true happiness, nothing compares to the joy of being blessed.
When we made our vows, there was someone else there.
I realize now, those words were really a prayer.
And as each year-goes by, it's always been Him on whom we rely.
Who else can make two hearts as one? Who else can help us finish what we have begun?
[In this simply truth, we do abide. That where ever we go, whatever we do, you're by our side].
4. CREATION
In the beginning, He spoke words into the formless void,
and by His power there was light and life.
He is the only One. The one who created you.
And He is the only One, who can raise you.
When someone receives His word, into their empty heart.
They receive the power, that created light and life.
How could there be, any other way?
This is His reality, and he need only --
Say the word, and His will is done.
Say the words, and receive His son;
Say the words, and be with Him as one;
Say the words, and His will be done.
Truth, Life, and Power - are in His word.
5. GALATIANS 5
You are patient, you waited for me, to hear.
Then you gently, reminded me, you are near.
In your mercy, you answered my prayer, you saved me.......
now I know what it means, to be free.
Your loving kindness, called to my heart, to seek you.
And when I answered, you taught me your word, it is so true!
Then you gave to me, your gift of peace, in my heart;
now the joy of my life, is knowing you.
All I know - from what I have learned - points to this:
You are love, you are love; perfect love.
6. Star Lit Night
I looked up last night, to a star lit sky, into the great expanse, and the deep unknown.
How little we know of this mystery, yet the obvious is so plain to see.
From the vast universe to the tiny mustard seed
to look at the obvious is all the proof I would need.
Let those who are wise understand, all we see is the work of his hands.
Chorus
Heaven and earth praise Him, let all who believe proclaim His glory
Him who is most high!
All of this is plain to see, let all who believe proclaim his glory,
the glory on high - the majesty on high!
Does not wisdom call out and understanding raise her voice
to the prudent man, listen to what I say
Before the earth was made, or the dust of the world,
he possessed me at the beginning of his ways.
I-wisdom, was the craftsman at his side,
I was filled with delight, day after day; rejoicing in His presence
Rejoicing in His world
Chorus
Oh the just shall live by faith, and the wise will understand,
All of this is the work of His hands, from the smallest seed
to a star lit sky!
7. Forgiven
What a joy it is, to hear Him say, all of your sin, has been, washed away.
I dreamed I stood on the brow of a cliff, leaning over a deep abyss.
I cried out loud, ‘Save me from my sin.'
A voice called out from in the crowd, the One who stood there years before;
said, ‘Hold onto me, you will not fall in.'
I couldn't go to you ---so you came to me.
In my heart (there) was unbelief --- you were the key to my release.
I needed power to change --- you put that power within.
You renewed my mind --- and broke the bondage of sin.
[Oh what a joy it is, to hear Him say; all of your sin, has been, washed away.]
Though some memories may last, my former life is in the past.
I wake each morning to a brand new day.The evil one may prowl and roar, it matters not what he may say;
what I have been given - no one can take away.
Chorus
I look at how you lived --- I see how you died.
With only moments left --- you saved the man at your side.
How great is your love --- who can understand?
If I were half the man --- that half would be enough; - For me
But I need all of you.
All of me ---wants all of you.
One day I'll be -- I'll be just like you.
I'll be just like you.
8. Prevail (Hymn)
I believe in you, I know your word is true;
Let my heart retain your wisdom, that I may walk with you.
I trust in you, I know you save those who do;
Sustain me with your presence, and your strength be with me too.
Your faithfulness endures, through each and every day,
Direct my steps by your word,
That I may walk in Your Way.
I depend on you, I’ve placed my hope in you;
I don’t have all of the answers, but I know they’re found in you.
I thank you, for all you have done;
your goodness and kindness, my salvation in your Son.
I pray everyday, but there are times, I don’t know where to start, what to say,
yet I know you’re in my heart.
Your Spirit lives in me, In your will I cannot fail,
In your name, I will prevail, In your name, we will prevail.
9. TALK A WALK WITH ME
Take a walk with me, down a winding road, that leads up to a hill (It’s a lonely place)
A decision will be made, between faith and doubt, you will find, what your life is all about.
My walk began, in paradise, I was looking for you in the cool of the day.
In the garden of delight at the tree of life, I called your name, you hid away.
Long before I called your name, I saw this day. I made a promise to you, this will not be the end.
There is one who will come after you, He will make all things new.
Back in a garden this time Gethsemane, I went out to meet the enemy,
They were dressed in their best religious disguise, they sought me and my demise.
Long ago a commitment was made, I have a promise to fulfill.
Faithful to my call, I walked to the top of the hill.
It is there that I died for you. I paid the debt that was due.
The prophecy was true. I have made all things new.
I was nailed to the tree of death. I have become the tree of life.
I was promise to you, I was born for you, I died for you, I have risen for you.
I was promised, I lived, I died, I have risen.
Take a walk with me, to the top of the hill, that leads to paradise.
Daughter of Mine
Oh what is Real? That is something each one must decide.
It’s more than how you feel. It’s what you believe - deep down inside.
The answer draws near. Listen first - and then you will hear.
Daughter of mine, do you remember when you were young?
At your bedtime (we would pray) and I would tell you about the One;
who loves you more even more than I could.
I spoke from my heart, what I’ve learned to be true.
In hope that one day, you would look to Him who calls you.
Throughout your life, He has always been there.
Drawing you near, He has answered my prayer.
By His faithful word, I’m so glad, you’ve listened and heard.
Never be dismayed, He will see you through.
Always be assured, He will always love you.
You Are Not Alone
There are times, when I wonder; about the darkness we live under.
Oppress the living, make life dreary; oppose the righteous, make them weary.
But if ever I feel like I'm the only one (in this fight)
I think of how you were the loneliest one (on that night)
The night when you had asked your friends, to stay with you and pray.
But the darkness came over them, and they slept that time away.
I can't imagine, your despair; Though I know the father heard your prayer.
For the sake of those who slept that hour, and all of us who'd receive your power.
There was one who slipped out of sight,
The only one who didn't sleep that night.
The same one who didn't heed your call, To him your life meant nothing at all.
While your friends slept through your time of need, He performed his evil deed.
Oh, how can it be so, that the righteous sleep, while the wicked scheme;
(they plot and scheme)
Stay awake and pray with me. In my light, the darkness will flee.
And remember, you will never be (alone) No - you will always have me.
In my house, there's a painting on the wall.
A river running through the woods and over a waterfall.
Mountains in the background, underneath a blue sky
The colors of the autumn leaves has always caught my eyes.
I've wanted to live there, in peace and solitude.
I'll build a cabin beside the waterfall, and spend my life -
there with you.
This world is a wilderness, made of concrete and steel.
Built beside a highway that's full of twists and curves
Her golden leaves of autumn gently fall to the ground.
Distracted by her beauty, I didn't hear her say - "You WILL serve!"
Sometimes I feel, like I've waited so long.
But while I waited, you built a place of peace and solitude -
in my heart.
I will not serve, or heed her call.
I will live beside the waterfall
You and I, will live beside the waterfall.
Don't Go
Don't go away, you belong here with me.
I never thought I'd see, the day that you would leave.
Can you here me calling you, return to me.
I could cry a thousand tears, but not one could bring you here.
I asked Him who knows all things,
hear my prayer, listen to my plea-do not take this love away from me.
Should I try to understand?
Should I even question why?
Can I rely on my faith?
All I know is that, I must try.
As we walk through, this life we live; we are touched by sorrow.
You may have to walk up - to the mountain top, but-
there is a valley below.
I can see - there are green pastures below;
where sorrow turns to joy and all is restored.
Come To Me
Come to me, and I'll give you rest. I alone, will bring you peace.
Lay your burden at my feet. I am He who calms the sea.
Cast your cares on me, I am He who calms the sea.
Seek me first and you will find, A buried treasure in a field.
Even more than peace of mind, I will be your strength and shield.
So, lay your burden at my feet. All of your needs - I will meet.
Even more than all your needs, In my light you are complete.
Of all the riches in the world, none can equal you in worth.
The One who claims you as His own, Is He who reigns o'er heaven ‘n earth.
Claim your victory! Rejoice in your faith!
All of this is pointed to-ward, Him, who is our great reward.
He is our great reward! Forevermore.
WAR
For thousands of years now, there has been a war.
(And) it hasn't been fought on some distant shore.
It's a battle for your heart and mind.
To hide the truth away and leave you blind.
For we struggle not with man, but against the powers of this dark world. [Eph 6]
(Yet he has overcome this world)
Light and darkness meet on this battlefield.
There's nothing hidden that won't be (that won't be revealed).
The word of truth is your sword and faith is your shield.
When you've done all you can stand firm and do not yield.
For we struggle not with man, but against the powers of this dark world.
Be strong in the power of His might
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me
And though the battle rages right at my door
He has already won the war. (He has already won the war)
He has been victorious, Now, we can overcome (We can overcome this world)
He has already won the war,
He has made us more than conquerors,
We can do all things through Christ.
In the power of His might! In the power of His might.
Searching
If you're searching for truth, he is looking for you.
If you want to know more, He stands at the door
Just open your heart and let Him in, He will know where to begin.
Doubt disappears-in a life without fear.
In a world full of doubt, you may feel unsure
but there is hope for so much more!
If you listen today, fear and doubt fade away (far away)
Doubt disappears-in a life without fear
Fear will cease-in a life filled with peace.
Strangers ( in a foreign land )
The longer I live here, the more I understand.
We are strangers, in a foreign land.
Cast out of the garden, still part of His plan.
How much longer will we live under, the rule of man?
Oh.........paradise lost.
Do you think they considered the cost?
Tell me, what did they gain?
A new world, built on the shattered remains.
Living in this new world, there seems to be one rule.
Each man for himself, and don't you be nobody's fool.
Some seek their fortunes, others look for fame.
Then there are those who are called, by your name.
Oh........ stretch out your hand.
Bring us back into the land.
My hope is in the One, who-
put away the flaming sword, who is the way to paradise restored.
"This day - you will be - with me - in Paradise.
THIS I KNOW
This I know, that where ever I go, we will go there together.
You called me and I know you, with a love that last’s forever.
I won’t let the cares of this life, come in and carry me away.
My peace comes from knowing, that you walk with me each day.
All the vain pursuits of man, can never help him understand.
The greatest gift comes from the One,
who said, "Father, your will be done."
(Oh) I pray for the time to come, when your will -on earth- is done.
Until then, may your light shine through, all of those who believe in you.
You can climb the highest mountain - do something that’s never been done before,
Unless you seek Him and His wisdom, you’ll never know what life is for
End of the Age
It’s interesting to me, to know that there are those who see everything that takes place in heaven, and all that happens here on earth.
They live in eternity, they are – witnesses of history, and they always see our Father’s face, and it has been revealed what will soon take place;
At the end of the Age, gathered ‘round his throne:
They fall down and worship him, who lives forever, true and right are his judgements, to him be honor, glory, and power,
Also in his company and gathered round the crystal sea, are those who have been redeemed - from all of the nations on earth,
Together with the angels they are thousands of thousands, they proclaim with a loud voice, to him who sits upon the throne, blessings and honor; glory and power
They fall down and worship him, who lives forever. True and right are his judgments, to him be honor, glory, and power.
[We planned to have the entire choir sing the ending to this song in order to give somewhat of an impression of the “thousands of thousands” singing at the throne of Yahuah.]
They fall down and worship him,
All of the righteous worship him,
All of the angels loyal to him,
All of the Saints worship him,
All of those saved from their sins,
All of the redeemed worship him,
All of those born again,
They fall down and worship him who lives forever.
Dream Together
(Instrumental)
The lyrics were never finished. The chorus to this song is;
When you love someone, you know what they’re dreaming of,
When you dream together, there’s no limit to your love.
Coming Back
He is coming back, (don’t) know exactly when
but I believe It’ll be soon.
Will you be ready then? When He returns for you
and the ones that you love.{It’s them I’m thinking of}
He is coming back, spread the good news.
Tell everyone you know. His love and mercy will,
set the captives free by the power of his word.
There are those who haven’t heard,
about the power of His word.
For Whom The Bell Tolls (It Tolls For Us)
Break the foundation, and the structure will fall. No matter how tall.
My Christian friends, (oh) what happened in ‘64?
When the surreal court said, We couldn't pray in our schools no more.
But WE will teach your sons, to believe in our new religion.......about how life begun.
Oh my Christian friends, what did we do in ‘73?
When the surreal court said, it is a fetus and not a baby.
Did we grab our pens, and write letters to our Congressmen?
They did nothing at all. Yet they swore an oath, liberty and justice for all.
They should have no doubt, they will give an account.
There is a dark cloud, that hangs in our blue sky.
It has begun to rain, no one should question why.
And I have no doubt, we will all give an account....to Him who rules over - ALL.
If we say nothing at all!
(They can't decide) It's not up to them, who lives or who dies.
(We will become) We will become, a nation without a soul.
(For whom the Bell Tolls) For whom the bell tolls (The bell tolls)
Father have mercy that we may repent before you.
That we may repent, before the bell tolls..............
Love One Another
We need wisdom to live in this world.
And understanding that comes from knowing his word.
We must walk in his light, apart from those who deceive.
Living a life of faith, with all those who believe.
We are his family, the message is quite clear,
If we love one another, our faith is sincere.
Who is my brother? Who might my sister be?
All those who love one another, are part of his family,
All those who love their brother, do the will of their father.
Are these the last days, some say there is no doubt.
While there are those who say our time has not run out.
I really don't know, how much time we have until;
He returns for those who're, found doing his will.
Take Heed - Do not be deceived!
Those who are - born of him,
Love each other - in this place and time.
How else can it be? If there's no love right here & now,
How is there supposed to be - in eternity.
When we are together - all - in eternity.
Never Give Up
Don't give up on your dream, It's never too late to start.
Hasn't He said, I will give to you the desires of your heart?
Place your trust in His word, There is something for you to do,
Your life has a higher purpose, He has a plan for you.
To use the gift He has given you.........If you want to-
Never give up on your dream, & never give in to despair.
He has called you to a higher place, and He is more than able to take you there.
Think upon the promise that He made, and the price He has paid.
To give you hope and a future, to prosper you - in all that you do.
Only believe, that His promise is true.............that it's true for you.
Don't give up on your dream, things aren't always the way they seem.
Once you believe what He's said, Don't look left or right, just straight ahead.
Then trust in your belief, (and) give no place at all, to the thief.
His promise is meant for today, don't let the adversary steal your dream away.
"Follow your dream."
This lullaby was written as an instrumental for my three month old grandson Ayden, who liked to fall asleep listening to lullabies. Later on I added the words.
Ayden's Lullaby
Where did I come from and where will I go?
These are some of the things that I don't even know.
Unaware of time, not early or late;
I arrived here this morning eighteen minutes past eight.
And I wondered where is this place?
As I lay in my mother's arms, I look up to see her face.
I came without money or clothes to wear,
no thought of worry or worldly care.
When I grow up just what will I be?
None of that matters to me, as I lay -
(As I lay) tucked away in my mothers arms.
Nothing else matters to me.
As a man, I will make my way in this world (Hurry up! Time marches on!)
There's so much to learn and money to earn (Hurry before the day is gone!)
Life in this world can be full of worry. (I will not be afraid)
Though trouble may come it will not overtake me (He will never forsake me!)
He will never forsake me.
Dear Mom and Dad;
Both of you, have shown me, that I can trust and rest, in the One; who gave
to you, those loving arms. Always open for me, peacefully, tucked away.
Forever I'll be, in His loving arms.
Sleeping
I was sleeping when, you spoke to me, I-
heard your voice in my head.
You were going out, I’ll-see you later on,
and find out what it was you said.
Later on - how long is later on?
How long - before our time here is gone?
It’s so easy, to miss the little things, that-
happen along the way.
We should take the time, to listen carefully, and-
open our eyes each day.
Does anything good, ever happen by mistake?
We live this life, by the choices we make.
Oh Lord, don’t let me sleep while I’m awake.
When I Think of You
When I think of you, and our life together, all we’ve been through;
How lonely life would be, if I didn’t have you, here with me.
The memories we share, mean so much, nothing else can compare.
It’s more than circumstance, nothing like this, can happen by chance.
Our blessing from above, He gives us power, and renews our love.
And we are satisfied, to have each other, by our side.
Time can change, so many things; but there is One who stays the same.
Trust in Him, who sustains all things,
He will keep and bless you by the power of His name.
With each new day, there is so much more, to look forward to.
And I plan to spend, each of those days, together with you.
Even when our time slips away, there will be a new day.
