Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong
They are weak but He is strong
Yes Jesus loves me
But still I’m crying out and thirsting for more
I need more than the words on a page
To show that You love me
I do
Hear me cry out for You in the desert
Come let it rain again
Jesus loves me I should know
From the sky above the oceans wide and earth below
Gracious gift of peace and joy
And the holy love that’s flowing from my baby boy
Yes Jesus loves me
But still I know that there will always be more
I need more than the words on a page
The words are good but the Author I crave
I need more than the words on a page
To show that You love me
I do I do I do
Yes Jesus loves me
The Bible tells me so

My Declaration
04:24
|
|||
This is my declaration of what’s been done for me
A healing restoration to set this captive free
No need for disconnection
No need to be afraid
I drink Your sweet compassion
To lose the dust the dry the shame
And never thirst again
I’ll stand and I’ll sing of the grace shown to me
Grace shown to me so I can live
This is my declaration of what’s been done for me
A captive found by freedom a slave to liberty
There is no condemnation
To weigh and wear me down
From guilt to strong conviction
Freedom’s flowing waters
Amazing Grace begins
I’ll stand and I’ll sing of the grace shown to me
Grace shown to me so I can live
A healing restoration
There’s no shame
I am broken
There is no condemnation
This is my declaration
My declaration
A healing restoration
There’s no shame
I am broken
There is no more condemnation
Oh from the stinking choking defeating guilt
To your love of strong conviction
This is me declaration
My declaration
I’ll stand and I’ll sing of the grace shown to me
This is my declaration

Bring Me To My Knees
04:13
|
|||
Why would I refuse to be
A servant to my neighbour
When the cross on which You died for me
Is a cross that I must shoulder?
Shake everything
Take anything
Jesus You’re enough for me so
Bring me to my knees
I surrender all
You’re everything
The time has come to let go
And to fall into Your arms
And I will know that
You are all I need
How can I pretend to be
A builder of Your kingdom?
What good is all that profits me
When I ignore Your revelation?
So Jesus, bring me to my knees
You’re all I need
Bring me to my knees
Bring me to my knees

Speak to me my friend
Let me kiss your turning cheek
As horror became beginnings
Take me to your tombs
Let us dance and sing for joy
As darkness became forgiveness
I’ve thought of you poor
But now I am sure
Oh Rwanda
There is faith within your thousand hills Rwanda
Oh Rwanda
There is faith within your thousand smiles Rwanda
Oh Rwanda
Teach what I can’t know
Simple wisdom of the meek
Will call me to pray unceasing
Draw me to my knees
Share the Cross to die the cost
And suffering brings faithfulness
Oh Rwanda
There is hope within your thousand hills Rwanda
Oh Rwanda
There is hope within your thousand smiles Rwanda
Oh Rwanda
Death turns to light
Darkness to right
The least hold the richness of God in their heart
Forgive me
Oh Rwanda
Oh Rwanda
There is love within your thousand hills Rwanda
Oh Rwanda
There is love within your thousand smiles Rwanda
Oh Rwanda

The Healing
04:09
|

We’ve broken a vow
We had our reasons wrong or right
Taking our separate roads now
Choosing our seasons
When love is gone the fabric torn
And we’re alone I know there just remains
The Healing
Where are you now?
What are you doing with yourself?
Have you been loved by him or
Have you been wandering?
We make mistakes but we’ve moved on
I’m looking back to see if we have found
The Healing
It’ll be alright
It’ll be alright now
The search the soul
Becoming whole continues on I know
As I bestow the grace replace embrace the healing
Freedom! Freedom!
The Healing
Where are you now?
How are you doing?
It’ll be alright
It’ll be alright now
Gotta let it go
Gotta let it go now

Everyday I see the sun begin to shine
Every way I give what's yours and yours is mine
When I say that it's too fast I'm left behind
Walk a little bit nearer
Gonna play another song and take my time
Every way I give the best that I can find
Can I make a love that stays? Reflects divine?
Hold a little bit closer
Grow a little bit older
And I know that I'm here for life
It’s not over
I am here for life
Can I say the words and know that you will hear?
Would it pay to say the words that show my fear?
When I know you've seen my worst but hold me dear
And your touches are healing
Everyday I draw a line and grace is near
When I pray it's for a heart that is sincere
But I know it isn’t me that draws you near
By the brook of Your water
Just a son and a daughter
Now I know that I'm here for life
It’s not over
I am here for life
Crimson clover
I am here for life
Oh I am here for life
I am here for life
Walk a little bit nearer
Held a little bit dearer
When I think of your crimson clover
Bleeding growing dying
I know I can live
I am here for life
It’s not over
I am here for life
Crimson clover
I am here for life

Forgive me Lord for I have sinned
I’ve held Your love at bay
I’ve worn You like an overcoat
But hid my heart away
But now I wanna see
You
Your face is all I seek
The beauty of creation sings
I just wanna see You
The parts of me I’ve kept from You
The secret black of sin
I’ve claimed I’m blessed forgot the rest
But now I must begin
I just wanna see You
Your face is all I seek
The beauty of creation sings
Now I wanna see You
Melt this stone my heart
The freedom that surrender brings
I just wanna see You
Can I lay it down?
Can I die to live?
Can I cross the narrow bridge?
Can I die to live?
I’ve taken much of what You give
And called it all my own
But now I see and I believe
I give my life my all

He Loves Me
02:45
|
|||
The wonder of a cosmic love affair
The earth the air the sea
It’s not about a list of do’s and don’ts
Of wills and won’ts
Or my philosophy
It is a mystery
Why He’s chosen me
He loves me He loves me
Now what am I going to do?
He loves me He loves me
How can I not love Him too?
I am carried by the paradox to live the cross the key
I don’t need another protocol to save my soul
And seal eternity
Deliverance is free
The cost is everything
He loves me now and so
I love Him now I know
There is not any other way but to obey
He loves me

Time don’t her slip away
Invite her in to stay
But she can slip right out the door
Say the words I long to hear
Pray that God is near
May He bless this sinful psalm
On and on the tide rolls in and soon she'll be gone
Make a wish and dream a dream and while away the time
Find a melody sublime
A better way to rhyme
Has it all been sung before
Lines of writing in my head
Thoughts that get misread
But the music still cries
Seasons will whisper passing by
Another year's summer's almost here
Over and over
On and on

Be Thou My Vision
04:22
|

Be Thou my Vision O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me save that Thou art
Thou my best thought by day or by night
Waking or sleeping Thy presence my light
Be Thou my wisdom and Thou my true Word
I ever with Thee and Thou with me Lord
Thou my great Father I Thy true son
Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one
Riches I heed not nor man’s empty praise
Thou mine inheritance now and always
Thou and Thou only first in my heart
High King of heaven my treasure Thou art
Be my compassion my love for the poor
Break my distraction so I can’t ignore
The least of Your children the ones You adore
For by them Jesus I worship You Lord
For by them Jesus I worship You Lord

Voice Recorder Blues
02:18

Of all the things that could happen
Why on earth did this happen to me?
Now I’ve got the voice recorder blues
I went and pushed the red button
When I wasn’t intending to
My baby songs are gone and I’ve got the blues
I’ve got the voice recorder blues
I’ve never had this sadder news
I’ve got the voice recorder the voice recorder blues
Oh man
You’d prob’ly think I’d remember
I don’t mean to offend ya but
I remember some but just the...
Now I always will wonder
Did my hit song go under?
Now all I’ve got is … KSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH
I’ve got the voice recorder blues
I’ve never had this sadder news
I’ve got the voice recorder the voice recorder blues
I’ve got the voice recorder blues
I’ve never had this sadder news
And now my heart is in my shoes
Think of all the songs I didn’t use
Never had a chance to pick and chose
I guess some you win and some you lose
I’ve got the voice recorder the voice recorder blues
