1.	Jesus Loves Me (I Need More) 04:25	lyrics	buy track
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
2.	My Declaration 04:24	lyrics	buy track
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
3.	Bring Me To My Knees 04:13	lyrics	buy track
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
4.	Rwanda 05:15	lyrics	buy track
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
5.	The Healing 04:09	lyrics	buy track
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
6.	Here For Life (Crimson Clover) 07:26	lyrics	buy track
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
7.	CU 04:31	lyrics	buy track
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
8.	He Loves Me 02:45	lyrics	buy track
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

10.	On And On 04:09	lyrics	buy track
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
11.	Be Thou My Vision 04:22	lyrics	buy track
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
12.	Voice Recorder Blues 02:18	lyrics	buy track
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
