What you Gonna Choose?
03:23
|
|
||
Calling all nations to stand to attention now
Falling from graces too often to mention how
Judging our neighbours like hate spewed from haters
goes on and on and on, it will carry…
Crosses through crossfire through crowds in town centres
There’s ample incentives to climb down from fences
But up to the place of the skull, sacred and sacred
goes on and on and on he will carry - He will carry on
And if there’s lies and if there’s truth, what you gonna choose? What you gonna choose?
What if there’s light piercing through fake news - what you gonna do?
And in this life, if there’s truth, what you gonna choose? What you gonna do?
What if there’s light piercing through fake news - what you gonna do?
What you gonna choose?

One Step At A Time
04:16
|
|

When will we finally see the light?
When will you finally set things right?
When will I finally see the time?
When you will finally win this fight?
One step at a time
One step forwards, yours and mine
There was a time when everything was good, everything responding as you’d hoped it would, everything created, everybody good
There was a place when we could see your face, walk and talk together in the cool of day, nothing came between us, we were ok
Then doubt and suspicion did grow, brought weeds, thorns and thistles below
Exchanging the truth for a lie: the ‘we’ and the ‘us’ became ‘I’
One step at a time
There was a time when you could take no more,
looking for a people with an open door, sick of always speaking being ignored
There was place, you came and showed your face,
born into a family of a chosen race, no one made you room - there was no space
From cradled perfection you’d grow
The seeds of redemption you’d sow
But men prefer darkness to light
And so shouted they ‘crucify!’
I see a new Jerusalem full of light and dressed in white
I hear a voice that beckons me: ‘come my children, come my bride’
‘Behold I’m making all things new, I’ll wipe your tears, I’ll walk with you’
The sting of death will be no more
and on your hearts I’ll write my law
From every tribe and every tongue the praise of God will soon be sung
You’ll reign on earth-your will be done
Lord Jesus, may your kingdom come

Truly my soul finds rest in God alone
In his salvation I have found a home
Not knowing just how long it will take
I pour my heart in trust and wait
Truly my soul finds rest in God alone
You are my fortress, I will never be shaken
Truly you are my rock, alone my salvation
My soul finds rest in you.
My help, my glory, it’s you I set before me
Your truth, your love - they tell a greater story
One thing you said, there are two things I’ve heard:
That you are strong, with you unfailing love
We are but breath and wealth is overrated
You will reward each person you created
According to the good that we have done
And our response to Jesus, God the son
My help, my glory, it’s you I set before me
Your truth, your love - they tell a greater story
One thing you said, there are two things I’ve heard:
That you are strong, with you unfailing love
You are my fortress, I will never be shaken
Truly you are my rock, alone my salvation
My soul finds rest in you.

Come To Me
03:37
|
|
||
Come to me when you’re weary and I will give you rest
Lean on me-your load’s heavy and I will make it light
My yoke is easy, my burden is light
Your soul is needy, I’ll make things alright
Come to me with your worries - I know what you need
Learn from me, for I’m lowly, humble, kind and true
My yoke is easy, my burden is light
Your soul is needy, I’ll make things alright

My Delight
03:37
|
|
||
Only the thirsty drink, Only the hungry feast,
Only the restless seek, only in you find peace
Only the humble kneel, only the soft hear feels
Only the desperate pray: ‘Lord come and have your way’
‘Cos in you is the fountain of life, in you is the river of delights
A father gives good gifts to the children that he loves
How much more will you give yourself to us?
Your Spirit longs to fill every empty soul
If only we would ask, if only we would ask
So we ask, we seek, we knock at your door
We’re here on our knees and we’re crying for more
‘Cos in you is the fountain of life and in you is the river of delights
Yes, in you is the fountain of life and in you is the river of delights
My delight, oh you’re my delight, my delight, my delight.

Come And Bless The Lord

|

Come and Bless the Lord with me
Let us praise his name always
Oh, my soul will taste and see
That the Lord is good and forever will be

Anchor For My Soul
03:25
|
|||
A time to mourn, a time to weep - lamenting all the pain we see
A time to hurt, a time to grieve - to learn to wait so patiently
But all I know, all I know..
Is that we have this hope, through the storm, an anchor for my soul
Sure and strong - it will be my song, it will be my song.
A time to stop, a time to speak, to learn to hold what’s ours to keep
A time to plant, a time to weed - await the fruit of scattered seed
But all I know, yes, all I know..
Is that we have this hope, through the storm, an anchor for my soul
Sure and strong - it will be my song, it will be my song.
Hard pressed on every side, perplexed but not denied
Struck down a thousand times, like dead but watch us rise
Jesus, you’re my hope through the storm, an anchor for my soul
Sure and strong, you will be my song

I Will Too
03:53
|
|||
If God laughs as his children play, If God smiles when he sees your face
If God cries at the war-torn holes, if God dies for the sake of souls
If God sings symphonies for you, if God longs for us to know the truth
If God hates injustice and pain, if God loves the world he sustains
Then I will too, I will too.
If God waits ever patiently, if God cares for the refugee
If God speaks do we hear his call? If God knows that there is hope for all
Then I will too, I will too.

Goodness Of The Lord
04:00
|
|||
In the bitterness of life, I find the sweetness and the goodness of the Lord
And no matter how hard the climb, he leads me back to still, still waters
Though my enemies surround I’ll dine, feasting on the richest food and wine
At your table we recline, you and I with joy our cup flows over
In the desert of dry bones, you will breathe your life into my dry bones
In the valley of shadows, you are with me, I will fear no evil
Though the path is narrow, I will take each step and try to follow
In your presence there is no fear, no need to worry for tomorrow
Oh, Shepherd of my soul

He Crowns The Humble
03:18
|
|||
From heights above to depths below
Heavenly hosts before the throne
Come Sun and Moon, all shining stars
Mountains and hills, creatures and birds
(Praise him with dancing) Storm clouds and winds, (praise him with music), princes and kings,
(Praise him with tambourine and harp) all that has breath,
(for the Lord delights in his people), all that’s within
(Praise him with dancing) Come praise the Lord, (praise him with music), sing a new song,
(Praise him with tambourine and harp) join with his saints,
(for the Lord delights in his people), let all rejoice
He crowns the humble with salvation, all will see from every tribe and every nation
People please don’t you refuse this invitation for there’ll be a time when it’s too late for saving
He crowns the humble with salvation, all will see from every tribe and every nation
People please don’t you refuse this invitation for there’ll be a time when God runs out of patience
Come young and old to God alone, both rich and poor will find a home
Cymbals and horns - a joyful noise, strings, brass and voice, come all the earth rejoice

Love You More
03:02
|
|||
You’ve tried my heart, you’ve tested me
I come to you, my hands are clean
I call your name, you answered me
You show your love so wondrously
I wanna’ love you more, wann love you more
Closer than before - I wanna love you more
As for me I shall behold your face - when I lie asleep and when I awake
I’ll be satisfied by your sight with the righteous
Keep me as the apple of your, keep me as the apple of your eye
I cannot believe that that’s the way you see me
I just wanna love you more, wanna love you more
Closer than before, wanna love you more

The Ocean
04:54
|
|||
The ocean is wide, as vast as it’s deep, so mighty and merciless, it never needs sleep
It comes and it goes whenever it feels, it can’t be controlled or contained - it’s free
It separates nations and keeps men at bay, surrounding an island like a fort
But take it too lightly, it will drown your poor soul
You’ll sing the bottom like a stone
Sometimes my life is calm on the surface but underneath the water murky
My head’s high, the current is raging, out on a lifeboat - it’s me that needs saving
So fragile, like yesterday’s news, clogged up with grease and the foggy, sea views
It’s strange, sometimes when your sailing, skipping on waves, the tide starts changing
It pours forth, there’s water on board, suddenly that sinking feeling’s hard to ignore
So where’s the anchor when I tossed by the storm and where’s the lighthouse that leads back to shore
Don’t leave the harbour and never set sail without the Lord Jesus to show you the way
He is the captain who knows what to do, with compass and map as he leads all his crew
Whatever the weather, in calm or in rough, he’ll steady the ship, make sure there’s enough
The future’s uncertain but one thing I know is he holds your future if you just let go
The ocean is wide, as vast as it’s deep, so mighty and merciless, it never needs sleep
It comes and it goes whenever it feels, it can’t be controlled or contained - it’s free

Wholly Yours
05:25
|
|||
From my mother’s womb, I didn’t have to be taught to say ‘no’
Sin was there in me like a silent disease in my genes
And as I grew, the weeds grew too to choke the fruit within
Then I saw you bring grace and truth and started following
Create in me a clean, clean heart
Renew in me a willing soul
That I might be wholly yours
That I might be wholly yours
How your Spirit comes and shines holy light on my path
And I’m stepping out to walk hand and hand by your side
But every day a war is waged between the old and new
The things I do, I don’t intend, the things I don’t - I do
Create in me a clean, clean heart
Renew in me a willing soul
That I might be wholly yours
That I might be wholly yours
This is my sacrifice, Lord my heart’s contrite - I know you won’t deny
Open my lips, may your praises eclipse every sun, moon and star in my life
Purge me and cleanse me from all my iniquity - washing me whiter than snow
Cause such elation to rise from salvation that everyone with me will know

Face To Face
04:08
|
|||
You baffle me, with your mystery, how could I comprehend?
You said ‘let there be’ from eternity, no beginning, and no end
For from you and through you and to you are all things
Yes, from you and through you and to you are all things
To you be the glory forever amen
You may not be healed but you know you will be held
until he is revealed and then you will behold the glorious face of God!
Where were you when I laid the earth?
Do you see mountain goats give birth?
Did you endow the horse with might?
Can you command an eagle’s flight?
I am the potter, you are clay,
Could you divide the night from day?
Do you hold keys to grave and death or breathe into a man his breath?
You’re made of dust and from the dirt, I feel your pain and grieve your hurt,
I took it all upon myself, I left my throne, gave up my wealth,
when as my son among the filth, was crucified and paid your guilt,
and every vile human deed was gathered up and laid on me
So, who has given unto me that in his debt I’d ever be?
And so your questions I will heed but as for answers there’s no need
So trust you must until the day when we’ll be talking face to face
