LYRICS
ALL BECAUSE OF YOU
I never thought that I’d love again
I had enough of the tears and the pain
Now those lonely days have just gone away
There’s been some change in my life
And it’s all because of You this old world keeps turning
All because of You I can love again
Even though this world doesn’t look much better
Everything’s new, all because of You
Came to seek and to save the lost
Gave Your life when you died on the cross
Then You went away, now You’re here to stay
And I’ve got this song in my heart.
All because of You I can live forever
All because of You in this world there’s hope
And even though sometimes this life seems tragic
I’ll make it through
Because You are so beautiful
You shine like the sun
You’re the only treasure in this life
And I’m so in love with You
You give so much to me
How could I repay the debt I owe
I used to think that I knew it all
I tried to run but I couldn’t help but fall
There’s so many things I don’t understand
But I found a rest in my soul
And it’s all because of You I can face tomorrow
All because of You I can live today
And just because I know who holds the future
I know the way
All because of You I can live forever
All because of You for this world there’s hope
And even though sometimes I think I’m crazy
What can I do, when I know it’s true
It’s all because of You.
ALL THINGS
You’re cruisin’ along, just passing through
Then something bad comes out of the blue
You say to yourself what’s happening to me
It’s not the way it’s supposed to be
All things work together for good
With those who love God
x2
Well you search your heart then you sit in the dust
You start to wonder who can you trust
You cry out to God ‘Can you turn on the light’
If something feels wrong, how can it be right?’
I know the plans that I have for you
When you go through the waters
I will be with you
When you walk through the fire
You will not be burned
Down in the valley is the place we learn.
AWAKE O ZION
Awake O Zion put on your strength
Put on your garments of righteousness
O Holy City, Jerusalem
No more shall sinners enter your gates again.
Daughter of Zion loosen your bonds
Shake off the dust and sit on your throne;
Awake O sleeper, arise from the dead
Live in the Spirit and not in the flesh.
Awake O Zion, put on your strength
Put on your beautiful garments of praise,
O Holy City, Jerusalem
Break forth with singing and say "Your God Reigns!"
Daughter of Zion, loosen your bonds,
Shake off the dust, and sit on your throne.
Awake O sleeper, arise from the deal,
You who believe do enter that rest.
CAJUN SONG
I left my home in Lancashire
Couldn’t see my future there
Only joy can keep a heart from growing old.
Suitcase and guitar in hand
When look for a working band
Only joy …………..
Came to London young and free
Joined a band called Fleur De Lys
Only joy ……………..
Put on make up dressed in frills
Put on velvet and wore high heels
Only joy ……………
Traveled round from town to town
Saw the world from the back of a van
Up and down those motorways
Watched the nights turn into days
Playing music and having fun
Felt my life had just begun
But only joy …………..
Flew along to the USA
Disn’t know how long I’d stay
Only joy ………………
Felt so good to be so free
Had no past no history
Only joy ………….
Got arrested put in jail
Still don’t know who stood my bail
Took some drugs nearly died, living like hell in paradise
Then one night I had this dream
Childhood memories haunting me
Only joy …….
Went back to England with my pal
Married a girl whose name was Sal
She knows joy will keep her heart from growing old.
Wrote some songs lived in Wales
Followed on that hippie trail
Only joy …………..
Then one day we took a drive
Saw a tent and went inside
Angels laughed and people cried
Loud as heaven on a Saturday night
God a Saviour got a wife, got my name in the Book of Life
Only joy ……… x4
DIDN’T DO ME NO GOOD
They say that there’s a path right for everyman
I thought I knew it all, now I understand
I didn’t do me no good, it didn’t do me no good
I didn’t do me no good, and I’m tired of living this way.
The eyes of every man are never satisfied
CAJUN SONG
Adam said to Eve just before he died
I didn’t do me no good, it didn’t do me no good
I didn’t do me no good, and I’m tired of living this way.
I heard some talk about the wages of sin
That could account for the shape I’m in
I never thought this way would bring me down
I played the field but I ran out of ground
Talking to the left, listening to the right
Leaning to the center, but no one gets it right
They didn’t do me no good, they didn’t do me no good
they didn’t do me no good, and I’m tired of living this way.
I’ve burned some bridges and I’ve counted the cost
I still remember every good think I lost
I hope and pray one day my life will begin
But I can’t escape from this prison I’m in
The say that fools rush in where angels fear to tread
I knew that there was danger but still I went ahead
I didn’t do me no good x3
And I’m tired of living this way.
EGYPT
I don't want to go back to Egypt
I want to live in the Promised Land.
Hey child do you remember
All those things that you used to do
All those empty so called pleasures
Well they still keep calling you,
And the voice that comes to tempt you
It just won't let the old man die,
So when he asks those same old questions
You just give him the same reply.
I was standing in the kitchen
Just listening to my radio
The day was dark and dreary
And I was feeling kind of low;
That's when Satan came up behind me
Whispering loudly in my ear,
So I sung this song up to him
And I watched him disappear.
Well I started on this journey
Now I'm going through the wilderness
Everything has been provided
And God still hasn't failed me yet;
When I look at where I've come from
Compared to where I'm going to,
I think I like what I've got better
So I'll keep that Land in view.
FEAR GOD
Fear God and give Him glory
For the hour of His judgement's come
And worship Him who made heaven and earth
The sea and the fountains of water.
I saw an angel flying in mid-heaven
With an eternal gospel to proclaim
to those who dwell on earth
to every nation, tribe, tongue and people.
Fear god and give Him glory........
I saw a Lamb slain stand before the Throne
Holding the scroll with the seven seals
And all the kings of the earth
Every nation, tribe, tongue and people
Called out to the mountains and the rocks
To fall on us and hide us
For the great day of their wrath has come.
I heard the Word say 'I am coming soon,
Bringing a swift, yea, a sudden end'
And all we value on earth
All our wealth and our fame, power and glory
Will all mean nothing.
Fear God and give Him glory......
GIVE THANKS
Give thanks, sing a new song
Shout for joy to the Lord
Sing to him with stringed instruments
Play the harp with skill;
Praise him you that obey him
Give thanks to the Lord
Shout for joy all you righteous
For what the Lord has done.
For the words of the Lord are true
And the works of the Lord are dependable
And the Lord loves what is righteous and just And his goodness fills the earth.
Give thanks, sing a new song......
GOOD FRIEND
You know a good friend is so hard to find x2
People smile and say they love you, then they treat you so unkind.
When we started out together, you said your love was true
You swore you’d never hurt me,
Now you say we’re through …….
Well my Mom and Daddy left me when I was just a boy
God myself a guitar I called my pride and joy,
‘Cos a good friend ………….
Samson and Delilah were a loving pair that’s true
Until she cut his hair, and left him with the blues
Lord a good friend …………
When I find myself in trouble and I feel I’m sinking down
I need someone to help me but my best friend’s not around
I call out to Jesus, he’s the lover of my soul
He’s closer than a brother, he’s all I need to know
I know a good friend, I got a good friend
x2
Well he’s closer than a brother, and he’s with me all the time.
HOME SWEET HOME
From the day that I was born I just knew I wouldn’t fit
There’s got to be a heaven, ‘cos I know this isn’t it
I’m looking for a home x2
Looking for a home, somewhere I belong
I went to California, thought I’d find it over there
I traveled the world, couldn’t find it anywhere
I’m looking for a home
You might be sleeping on the streets
Or you’ve got somewhere to go
But everytime you wake up there’s a longing in your soul
You’re looking for a home …
Home sweet home, where everyone knows you
And nobody feels alone;
I can see, somewhere in the distance
a city where I’m free.
They say that if you’re strong
You’ll get four score years and then
When your life is over you won’t be back again
You’re looking for a home
Home sweet home, where everyone loves you
And nobody feels along
I can see I’ve spent my life running like a refugee
I’ve bought things with my money
But there’s nothing that I own
There’s gonna come a time
When I’ll have to leave it all
I’m looking for a home ….
I CAN DO ALL THINGS
Now if you think there’s something you can’t do
And you find the problem’s got the best of you
Just call out to Jesus, He’s your man
He knows your needs, He understands
And He says:
You can do all things
You can do all things through Christ
If you've got a Bible up on your shelf
Turn to the book of Phillipians
See for yourself.
Look up Chapter 4 and verse l3,
When you read the words then
You'll know what I mean, when I say:
We can do all things
We can do all things through Christ.
So next time there's a mountain in your way,
Use your gift of faith as you start to pray;
Take him at his word and then you'll see,
And don't doubt in your heart
Just believe you've received.
And you’ll say: I can do all things, I can do all things
I can do all things through Christ
I’M GRATEFUL
I’m thankful, I’m grateful
For every day I have to live
I don’t want to take for granted
The many ways you give
When I wake up in the morning
With my baby by my side
I can’t help thinking to myself
It’s good to be alive
When I look out of my window
The weather’s cold and skies are grey
But there’s something in my heart
That says ‘it’s a sunny day’
Well my body gets so tired
Of living with these aches and pains
But I’ve got myself a deal where
This one will be exchanged
I’m thankful, I’m grateful
I’ve only got one life to live
When I die I’m going to heaven
And I won’t be back again.
I guess things always could be better
But then again they could be worse
Meanwhile I got the greatest love
In all the universe.
It’s my intention to be thankful
Even when I’m old and grey
I want to leave this world of trouble
With a smile upon my face
IS THIS LOVE?
I've been searching for a long long time
I've been hoping that one day I would find
Some place where people could feel safe and secure
I thought I'd found it but sometimes I'm not sure
I wanna know is this love
Is it real or is it pretend
I wanna know is this love
Can I trust or do I defend
We've been laughing we've had our good times
But underneath you know there's no peace of mind
I wanna be open and honest with you
But I'm so scared you'll break my heart in two
I wanna know is this love
Is it real or is it pretend
I wanna know is this love
Can I trust or do I defend
Hold on, I don't know if I'll make it
Hold on, I need to talk to you
Hold on I don't think I can take it
Lord I'm tired of running
I don't want to run any more
I wanna know is this love
Is it real or is it pretend
I wanna know is this love
Can I trust or do I defend
There's people crying for the human touch,
Sometimes I think that they're expecting too much
They seem so different, they make their demands
They'll try to tell you but you won't understand
I wanna know is this love
Is it real or is it pretend
I wanna know is this love
Can I trust or do I defend?
I WEEP FOR YOU NOW
The fool in his heart says “there is no God, and he will not find me out”,
There’s no right, no wrong, no truth any more,
No anchor for the soul
Pride is the hand that strokes the cat’s back
They say “there’s nothing you can prove”.
We live our lives like gamblers taking chances
We have the right to choose.
The great day of the Lord is near and coming soon
He’ll come like a thief in the night
There’ll be people getting married, laughing, singing having a good time,
Just getting on with life.
Then suddenly every eye will see Him coming
With all His angels in the sky
He’ll sweep away every cause of evil from the face of the earth,
There’ll be nowhere left to hide...... I weep for you
No eye has seen no ear has heard nor has the heart conceived
All the things God has prepared for them that love Him.
Way beyond their wildest dreams
There’s no death, no mourning, no crying or pain
He’ll wipe every tear from their eyes
They will see His face and all their questions will be answered,
There will be no sense of time....... I weep for you now
The fires of hell were made for the devil and his angels
And those who choose to go
There’s no light no joy no sound of laughter there
No music to soothe the soul.
Only the sound of weeping and crying, grinding of teeth,
Over how things could’ve been
Consumed by the flames of remorse and regret
They’ll be outside looking in .......... I weep for you now….
The wedding feast of the Lamb has come, and His Bride is ready,
She’s beautiful to see.
She’s dressed in fine linen, spotless, clean and bright,
Showing all her righteous deeds.
There’s music and laughter, singing and dancing, great Celebrations,
As they enter through the door
And like all true lovers who long to be together,
They will live forever more
JESUS THE MAN
He wasn’t good looking but something about him
Made him stand out in a crowd
He worked with his hands, he was just a young man,
A Jew around 30 years old.
He liked to eat out, had sinners for friends
They say he turned water to wine
A great story teller, with a wry sense of humor
This was a lover of life.
Brave and courageous, gentle and kind
He had no fear of man
Love him or hate him, you couldn’t ignore him
He was a lion and a lamb
I gotta know Jesus the man
Hear him, see him, touch him, feel him
I gotta know Jesus the man
He healed the sick, he raised the dead
But he tended to play it all down
He was the message, and the message went out
As he traveled from town to town.
Power came from him, as the crowds gathered round
They knew he could feel their dis-ease
Filled with compassion he reached out and touched them
His love could meet every need.
I wanna know Jesus the man .....
He sometimes got angry, knew sorrow and grief
He shouted, he sang and he cried
Church every Sabbath, but in no way religious
He loved God with all that he had.
Afraid of the light, they took him one night
Betrayed by a follower’s kiss
They bound him and tried him, and then crucified him
Heard him say ‘Father forgive’.
They cursed and they mocked him, stripped him and beat him
He hung on a cross till he died
Then on the third day, he rose up from the grave
The angels proclaimed ‘He’s alive!’
I gotta know Jesus the Lord
Worship adore him, bow down before him
I gotta know Jesus the Lord
Do you know Jesus the Lord?
The King and Messiah who started a fire,
Do you know Jesus the Lord?
JUDGEMENT BLUES
Everyone needs something to believe in
You need a reason to live
Everyone needs something to believe in
You need a reason to live
Some find it in forgiveness
Some because they can’t believe
Everybody’s born with a sickness
But nobody wants the cure
x2
Our words are smooth like butter
But who can find a heart that’s pure
The weather’s going crazy
It’s out of our control
x2
Fires and floods and earthquakes
Can make a man feel so small
The fool in his heart says there is no God
And He will not find me out
x2
But sure as the sun goes down every evening
One day there’s gonna be no doubt.
If I had the wings of a bird
I’d fly away
x2
If it wasn’t for your loving
I couldn’t face another day
Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord
Holy is the Lord Most High x2
Every eye will see Him coming
This God of love with fire in His eyes
All the earth will bow before Him
This God of love with fire in His eyes.
LAND OF THE LIVING
I believe I will see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living x2
So wait for the Lord
And let your heart take courage
Wait for the Lord and be strong
I believe I will see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living
LORD I LOVE YOUR WORD
O Lord I love your Word
O Lord I love your Word
It is life, it is health
It is food for my soul
O Lord I love your word.
Now when that teacher opens your book I get excited
Because I know I’m gonna learn something new
And from his mouth comes wisdom and instruction
Sent direct with love to me from you.
Well you know that there are times when I get hungry
So I read your living Word, the Bread of Life,
And Lord you say ‘Delight yourself in fatness’,
So when I dine with you I’m always satisfied.
Now you can hear the Word of God and still not listen
And you can read it all night long and not believe
And you can know the Word, bit it still won’t make no difference
Until you hear yourself confess ‘Lord I believe’.
MORE LORD
More Lord, I must have more Lord
More of your presence,
More of your love
More Lord, I must have more Lord
More of your Spirit
Flowing through me.
For you Lord, you are the fountain
Of Living water
That never runs dry.
More Lord, I must have more Lord
More of your presence,
More of your love
More Lord, I must have more Lord
More of your Spirit
Flowing through me.
So come now, come to the waters
All who are thirsty
Will be satisfied
More Lord I must have more Lord
More of your Kingdom
More of your will.
MOUNTAIN MOVER
I know this guy who’s a real go-getter
He fell in love but he just can't tell her
He's got it bad so he knows that he'd better
Go up to the mountain and just tell it to move.
I know a girl who was so dejected
She'd given her love but she'd been rejected
Now there's a wall and she's so protected
Go up to the mountain and just tell it to move.
Life's worth living and there's so much you can do
Just keep pushing and you'll find you're breaking through.
You want to laugh but you won't stop crying
You're tired of living but you're scared of dying
You want to travel but you don't like flying
You’re getting old and you can’t help thinking
You’ve had your fun and the whole world’s shrinking
That’s not the trust but a choice that you’re making
Go up to the mountain and just tell it to move
Life's worth living and there's so much you can do,
Don't let robbers come and steal it away from you.
You're going down in a long hard battle
He took your knight and your queen and your castle
You've got your King
and you don't stand hassle
Go up to the mountain and just tell it to move.
Mountain mover, mountain mover
Come on, tell that mountain to move,
You're working hard and you feel like running
Sometimes a song's such a long time coming You
don't give up you just keep on rocking , Go up to
that mountain.......
PASS IT ON
Pass it on, to those you meet
By word of mouth, let actions speak
Live the truth, show the way
Read the Word everyday;
Then pass it one, don't hide your light
Let it shine, oh let it shine on through the night;
Be natural, don't be flat
Let enthusiasm be your habitat
‘Cos everyone's gonna know one day
so don't keep it to yourself, Pass it on
Take the time, to come to Me
And let Me give you everything you're gonna need
To tell the world I'm alive
And my love for them's the reason that I died.
Speak the Words that Jesus said
They won't know if they've not read
Lift Him up, Praise His Name,
Yesterday, today, forever He's the same;
And let them see your good reactions
Show the world you're in Love,
They don't get no satisfaction
You're a letter that's been sent from Heaven above.
And everyone’s gonna know one day
So don’t keep it to yourself.
Pass it on.
Pass it on, to those you meet
By word of mouth, let actions speak
Live the truth, show the way
Read the Word every day.
And everyone’s gonna know one day where it’s at
tell them while you can
Pass it on
PRAISE THE LORD (Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord)
Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord
With all of your mind and all of your strength praise the Lord
Let all that has breath call on his Name
For he is worthy to be praised
Merciful, strong to save, praise the Lord.
O what a gracious Father, so faithful through the years
I called and then he answered, delivered me from all my fears;
Pour out your hearts before him, our times are in his hands
My heart will always trust him, he’s the Rock on which I stand.
Praise the Lord
x3
With all of your mind and all of your strength, praise the Lord
Let all that has breath call on his Name
For he is worthy to be praised
The King of all Kings, Lord of all Lords, praise the Lord.
O what a friend is Jesus, his love will never end
Cast all your cares upon him, he’s our refuge and our strength
He heals the broken hearted and sets the captives free
Place no one else above him, all the earth will one day sing
Praise the Lord
x3
With all of your mind and all of your strength praise the Lord
Let all that has breath call on His Name
For He is worthy to be praised
Lord of all song, the Holy One, praise the Lord
SLIPPING AND FALLING
Sometimes I feel like I’m drifting
Alone on an empty sea
But sometimes I'm sailing so easy and free
I start out to walk on the water
I'm keeping my eyes on Him
Then a strong wind starts blowing
And I'm sinking again
I may not be stable but I know He is able,
To keep me from slipping and falling away
I've had times when I've been so desperate
I've found myself on the floor
Crying Lord help me please, I can't take no more
Though I'm not stable I know He is able
To keep me from slipping and falling away
There's so many things I don't understand
But somehow I know I know
So meanwhile by faith I see Jesus' face
And He'll never let me go
It seems like this world's always changing
There's nothing to hold on to
But of one thing I'm certain, I know I've got You
And if I come off the track, won't you please put me back
And keep me from slipping, keep me from slipping,
Keep me from slipping and falling away.
TALK TO ME
Lover to love, sister to brother
Mother to daughter, father to son
Write me a letter, make me feel better
Send me the word before some damage is done
Why don’t you talk to me?
I stated running when I saw it coming
The looks that you gave me the things that you said
Now that it’s over, help me recover
There’s so much confusion going round my head
Why don’t you talk to me?
Tell it like it is, just give it to me straight
We’ve got to talk before it’s too late
Give me a signal, show me a sign
But don’t smile and tell me that everything’s fine
Electric highway, life up the skyway
Email and faxes, straight from the heart
News every hour, we’ve got the power
We’re living together, but worlds apart
Your mouth is moving but your heart won’t speak
Tell me the truth, don’t play hide and seek
Tear down the walls, open up the gates
Before we explode, let’s communicate.
There’s no illusion we’re only human
It’s self preservation when push comes to shove
But I got a question, you’ve got the answer
Is the truth or the power that you love
Why don’t you talk to me?
THE GAP
I tried this I tried that I tried food I got fat
I’ve got this hole in my life
And no matter what I do there’s always something missing
This gap is driving me mad.
All my friends tried to tell me that they had got the answer
But I didn’t care to know,
I said it’s my life I don’t want no one to help me
I’m gonna make it alone.
I don’t want your help, no I don’t need your help
I don’t want nobodies help but my own.
I don’t want your help, no I don’t need your help
I’m gonna make it, make it alone.
I bought this I bought that but it still didn’t get it
I felt like screaming aloud
‘cos I’ve got everything that’s supposed to make you happy
but I’m still not satisfied.
I tried the rich, tried the famous they said they’d like to help me
But they were looking too.
“It doesn’t matter what you’ve got if emptiness goes with
we’re just the same as you”.
There must be something, Oh I hope there’s something
There must be something more to this life.
There must be something, boy I hope there’s something
I’ve got to do something more with my life.
I took drugs, I took drink there were times I couldn’t think straight
I thought that this was the way
It was cool to be high but it still didn’t feel quite right
And I needed more every day.
Well I’d come to the end and I knew that things were desperate
I fell down on to my knees
I cried “God are you there?”, He said “son I’ve been waiting,
There’s someone that you should meet.
I found Jesus, yes I found Jesus,
Or should I say that Jesus found me.
I found Jesus, now I’ve found Jesus
I never thought this could happen to me.
I got love, got direction, and life in all its fullness
That’s what he gave to me.
Jesus bought me with his life now I’m signed, sealed, delivered
And I’ve got my guarantee.
I wouldn’t say things were smooth ‘cos I know I still get problems
But I’ve got this power within,
And in the battle of life we are more than over comers
Through Christ I know you can win.
Nothing gets it, nothing really gets it
Nothing gets it quite like the Lord.
Nothing gets it, nothing else can get it
Nothing gets it only the Lord
THE GLORY ZONE
by Bryn and Sally Haworth
I can hear there’s a new song coming
A shout from Heaven that will tear down the walls
The Holy One with a voice like thunder
Speaks the Word of Grace and the glory falls.
You can tell there’s a new day dawning
I see the light at the end of the road
There’s no fear, it’s a day of freedom
It’s a step of faith to the glory zone.
You can do it, you can start again,
the river’s flowing you can jump right in;
Leave your baggage on the other side,
Come along and get in the flow
Have you heard there’s a dance that’s coming
It’s in your feet and your heart and your soul
You get the rhythm and you can’t stop moving
It’s a dance of fire at the Holy Throne
Some day when I get to Heaven
I’m gonna walk on the streets made of gold
With every tribe, every tongue and nation
Singing and a dancing round the Throne
You can do it, you can run the race;
There’s so much joy on a winner’s face;
We’re getting ready to celebrate
Tell me do you wanna go?
VICTORY SONG
I am weak but You are strong
So in Your strength the work is done
And I testify to this truth, yes I rest in this truth
The Son of God to earth has come
to destroy the works of the evil one
And I testify to this truth, yes I testify to this truth
Jesus Christ is alive in me and He is stronger than the enemy
so in His name I have victory
I bow before the Cross of Christ
Where the Lamb of God was sacrificed
And I testify to His Love
And I say to you in this is love
Jesus blood was shed for me
His precious blood has washed me clean
And I testify to His love, yes I testify to His love
By His blood I am set free
It breaks the power of the enemy
And by His blood I have victory.
The gates of hell shall not prevail
We have His Word and that cannot fail
And I testify to His truth, yes I testify to His truth
By His Word I am set free
It gives me power o'er the enemy
So by His Word I have victory.
Step by step I'm marching on
And I won't rest until His Kingdom's come
And God's will is done, let God's will be done
Here on earth as it is in heaven
Let God's will be done..
WAITING
I've been waiting for my ship to come in
Just waiting for my life to begin
Something's gonna happen but I don't know just when
So I'll keep waiting
I've been waiting for the morning to come
Lying here thinking I ain't having no fun.
I look pretty quiet but I'm screaming inside
Must I keep waiting, for a glimpse of the sun.
Time rolls on, situations change every day
They go on and on; when you're getting closer it always seems you're
further away.
I've been waiting for that telephone call
Just a hopin', I've got an anchor for my soul
Instead of getting weak I'm growing stronger each day
Because I'm waiting.
Lord I'm waiting for the river to flow
Anticipating, I'm packed and ready to go
Though it seems slow I know it surely will come
Don't keep me waiting, 'cos I'm ready to go.
Time rolls on, situations change every day
They go on and on; when you're getting closer it always seems you're
further away.
I've been praying for the answer to come
Now I'm believing that it's already done
My mind thinks I'm crazy but my spirit says no
Meanwhile I'll praise Him, I'm gonna praise Him
I'm gonna praise Him for those good things to come.
WATER FROM THE ROCK
Tired feet from walking all day,
Can’t sleep ‘cos there is no shade
The suns hot on the back of my neck,
But these shoes haven’t worn out yet.
I’ve been complaining to the wife,
She said “Darlin’ it’ll be all right”
The kids cry, they don’t understand
why we’re going to the Promised Land
People talk about the good old days,
and all the comforts they still crave
But I don’t take that point of view,
I keep waiting for the fire to fall.
You eat, sleep, chop a little wood,
Feeling bad but you’re doing real good
You could use some water from the rock
But sun and sand is all you’ve got.
There’s no future in the past
Close the door, don’t look back
There’s always something you can do
When you’re waiting for the fire to fall
I’ve heard there’s giants in the land,
but they will fall by his mighty hand
Be strong, remember what he said,
the land is ours everywhere we tread
Seek God, and learn how to wait,
live right, don’t forget to pray
Have faith, don’t listen to the fear,
or you could be here for 40 years.
Kick your shoes off and celebrate,
sing a song children, build that faith
One day soon you will break through,
just keep praying for the fire to fall
He brought us out to bring us in,
keep on praying for the fire to fall
WE’RE ALL ONE
Listen to me children
Can't you hear the call
Can't you see the writing
That's written on the wall
It took so long to write it
Then they passed it through the age
Telling all creation
Everybody can be saved.
We're all one …….
Well I was riding on the railway
I took a look around
All the different people
Couldn't find no common ground
Well we've got one Maker
And we're under one roof
And if you've got love
Then you need no other proof
We’re all one
Crazy people fighting
Fight in other lands
How you kill for Jesus
I just don't understand
I said tell me Lord tell me
What are you gonna do
He said when you point the finger
Then the finger points at you
You’re all one
I like to play the music
It gets me on my feet
I need to play it loud
because I want to hear the beat
And I know that God has saved me
Saved me for the day
When I'll hear the people singing
And everyone will say
We're all one
WHAT KIND OF LOVE IS THIS?
What kind of love is this
That gave itself for me
I am the guilty one
Yet I go free;
What kind of love is this
A love I've never known
I didn't even know his name
What kind of love is this?
By Bryn and Sally Haworth
What kind of man is this
That died in agony
He who had done no wrong
Was crucified for me.
What kind of man is this
Who laid aside his throne
That I may know the love of God
What kind of man is this?
By grace I have been saved
It is the gift of God
He destined me to be his child
Such is his love.
No eye has ever seen
No ear has ever heard
Nor has the heart of man conceived
What kind of love is this?
WHEN THIS PASSING WORLD IS DONE
Words by Robert Murray M’Cheyne, adapted by Pam Haworth, music by Bryn Haworth
When this passing world is done
When has sunk the radiant sun,
When I stand with Christ on high
Looking o'er life's history,
When I hear the wicked call
For the rocks and mountains to fall,
Then, Lord, shall I fully know
Not till then, how much I owe.
When I stand before the throne
Dressed in beauty not my own,
When I see you as you are
I'll love you with unsinning heart;
When the praise of heav'n I hear
Lord as thunder to the ear,
Then, Lord, shall I fully know,
Not till then, how much I owe.
Chosen not for good in me,
Wakened up from wrath to flee
Hidden in the Saviour's side
By the Spirit sanctified;
Here on earth, as through a glass
Jesus, let your glory pass,
Teach me, Lord, on earth to show,
By my love, how much I owe.
WILL YOU BE READY?
Will you be ready when Jesus comes again x2
Will He know you when he sees you
Will He say “depart from me”
Will you be ready when Jesus comes again?
Do you believe He’ll raise you from the dead x2
Do you know if your name is written
In the Lamb’s Book of Life
Do you believe He’ll raise you from the dead?
Will you be ready when Jesus comes again……
Will you be there when everything’s made new x2
No more tears and sadness
No death and pain
Will you be there when everything’s made new?
Will I be ready to see Him face to face x2
Will I fall at His feet and worship
Saying “Worthy is the Lamb”
Will I be ready to see Him face to face?
WORD OF OUR GOD
Beauty fades like a flower
Winter comes before the spring
It’s here today and gone tomorrow
We may lose our favourite things
But the Word of our God will stand forever
Yes the Word of our God will never change
Heaven and earth will pass away but I’ll still be here to say
That the word of our God will never change
Lonely hearts tilled with passion
Lovers come and then they go
Empty nights hear you crying
I’ll never trust another soul
But the Word of our God will stand forever …….
Love will never fail you, love will never fail
And the Word of our God will never change
Governments crash mountains crumble
Every mighty empire falls
Heroes slip and then they stumble
One day you’re great next day you’re small
But the Word of our God will stand forever………
God will not fail you, He’ll never forsake you
Money fails, profits dwindle
Carried away by rust and thieves
In this world of fleeting pleasure
Only change is guaranteed
But the Word of our God will stand forever …
