It’s a God Thing
2 Corinthians 4:6
I’ve flown through a hundred skies, found heaven here in Your eyes, I’ve traveled ten thousand miles, Found my home in just one of Your smiles, Now what is this light I see? All the love that’s surrounding me and the grace that has set me free, it’s a wonder from out of this world, (Chorus) Cause it’s a God Thing, You lift up my heart make me sing, it’s so unbelievable, inconceivably Great…. I could soar up to outer space, get a glimpse of that infinite place, eternity’s here in Your face, You’re a wonder from out of this world, (Chorus) You’ve shown me a brighter day, ‘Gonna follow the only way and just watch You shine, (Chorus) It’s so unbelievable that You’re sent to me from above, It’s unbelievable, so inconceivable and You light up my world with love, God Thing…

Heaven’s Skyline
Hebrews 11:10
Way above the thunder I set my sights on Heaven’s skyline, Scratch my head and wonder, does anybody still even know it’s there? Don’t You think that it’s time now to wake ‘em up? The alarm that keeps ringing just ain’t enough, Daylight when I’m dreaming I set my sights on Heaven’s skyline, Visions that I’m keeping remind me of the promise You came to share, And those people keep spinning there on the ground, when there’s Paradise here waiting to be found, (Chorus) A million lights (they shine like gold), Look through the windows to your soul, finally home, safe at home, A strong foundation (stories high) is built in peace by love’s design, Visualize Heaven’s sky, Way above the thunder, I set my sights on Heaven’s skyline, People living under the clouds don’t even look up to see it there, I just hope that in time they will look up to count the stars and find their way back to You, (Chorus) Search for the silver line that traces every heart, Hold us together if this whole world falls apart, And those people keep spinning there on the ground when there’s paradise here waiting to be found (Chorus)

A Feather in His Hand
Isaiah 62:3, 1 Peter 5:6, Matthew 10:29
It’s in reaching high that I take the chance to lose, I pray I’ll find the path that leads me to where Heaven opens, I’m floating in the air not sure of what’s out there for me, (Chorus) And then I land, a feather in His hand, I know now I’m safe captured by God’s grace, A feather in His hand even as the wild winds blow, He’s there to lift me up, hold me high, on faith is where I’ll stand, in His hand. So I’m letting go though tomorrow I could fall, flying low, I pray I’ll hear the call to be uplifted floating high above this world not knowing where the air is taking me, (Chorus)It’s in opening up that the angels let me go out from their wings back to the arms that love me so, I’m just a drifter floating back to His embrace I know now there’s a place for me...

Big Professor
Job 36:22, Psalms 119:99, Hebrews 5:12
Hey there big professor please don’t be calling on me ‘cause I’m no Albert Einstein, Aristotle or Socrates, No I don’t even know why there’s an ‘i’ before ‘e’ in believe, except after ‘c’ in words like receive, Hey there big professor I haven’t got a clue, The theory of relativity has stumped me, how ‘bout you? Tell me again why there’s a ‘you’ in all these truths? What’s that theory you’ve proved? No I don’t know much about ‘pi’ or MC squared or that Walt Whitman poem I’ve contrasted and compared, but there’s a bright light going off by Thomas Edison somewhere and I’m now raising my hand ‘cause I’ve got something to share, (Chorus) I know something, I know something big, I know something, I know something big, I know He loves me, I know He loves me, I know He loves me… Jesus loves me… Hey there big professor have you seen my SAT’s? It’s a miracle I’m even here by deductive reasoning, Tell me again why you can’t hear that lonely tree in the forest falling? No I don’t know the answers to your infamous quiz or the chemical breakdown to that exploding fizz, I just pray I make through whatever this all is, my heart is all the proof I need to tell me that He lives, (Chorus) No I don’t know much about most things at all, like the French Revolution, life and times of Charles De Gaulle but there’s a Great Book I’ve read and the writing’s on my wall, And I’m raising my hand and I’m standing up tall (Chorus) Jesus loves me this I know.

Let the Spirit Move You
Romans 8:5
Psalm 143:10
You can stay little soldier on your side of the sand with little hope of moving on to the Promised Land, or you can face all the monsters that stand in the way of a life that’s free,
‘Cause if you’re feeling small Goliath will never fall, It takes a giant heart to heed the call (Chorus) Let the Spirit move you, Defeat Goliath, march your way to freedom, Let the Spirit move you, The hands of God are always there to lead you home, You can live all your life shackled up with your fears just a slave sure to drown in your river of tears, or escape to the promise of a better life on a distant shore, ‘Cause with a hardened heart the red sea will never part, it takes a faithful soul from the start, (Chorus) Just let His love inside you, Open your heart and let the Spirit guide you, A little faith can change your world, Though you feel crucified on the third day your gonna rise, Look to the Son of God and come alive (Chorus)

Empty Nest
I'm packing my bags tomorrow I'm leaving, You leave a light on for me down the hall, I empty the drawers and fill up the boxes, You stare at the pictures that hang on the wall. And you remember the day when I was so small, The sparrow sings in the tree out your window, Her baby bird's getting ready to fly, Though Mama can't stand the thought of her falling, Still she knows it's time for her baby to try, Time to say goodbye, and sail to the sky, (Chorus)You filled up the stockings, You filled up the baskets, You filled up my heart always gave me the best, There's an empty room and an empty house now, An empty tree and an empty nest, It's a bumpy flight but I've finally landed, You pick up the phone the moment I call, I fill up the drawers and empty the boxes, And hang up a picture of you on my wall, Wishing you were here to calm my fears, There's a dove that comes to the tree out your window, She's a sign of all of the good things to come, I’ll build my home and raise my family, Send a shower of blessings for all that you've done, Watch us one by one while we sing in the sun, (Chorus) And I’m filled with love, knowing I’ve been blessed and I wanna thank you for letting me fly.

Come to Me
Matthew 11:28
Where are you going dear friend of mine? Out in the darkness what do you hope to find?
Running in shadows losing your way, The road that you travel has led you astray, Jesus is with you, Jesus is here, Holding you closer through sadness and tears, God’s love is power, God’s love is real, God’s love is a miracle, God’s love will heal, (Chorus) I see you walking in the dark, I see you running from the light, His mighty voice calls out to you, “Turn around, turn around, come to Me…” You are a blessing, dear in His sight, Jesus will guide you and show you the light, God has the power, God alone is real, you are His miracle, God’s love will heal, (Chorus) “Come to Me when life loses meaning, Come to Me when you need a friend, “ In the dark and alone, you’ll find your way home, Take His hand, Take His hand, So when you’re walking in the dark, Turn around run straight into His light, His mighty voice calls out to you, “Turn around, turn around, Come to Me…” Do you hear his voice calling to you? “Come to Me…”

The Rain
Isaiah 45:8 Matthew 8:23-27
I don’t know, I can’t complain, Your love shines on me through the rain, There’s people stuck inside the storm, with You I’m safe You keep me warm, There was a time when I was lost inside the twister thrown and tossed, But now I stand on solid ground, You hold me steady safe and sound, (chorus) And I can’t complain, You shine through the rain, One look in Your eyes, I can’t deny, I love today , I love the rain, I love my life, There’s people sliding in the mud, Can’t get nowhere they’ve had enough, They dig in deeper to the hole, Drive in circles lose control, I feel Your rain pour from above, You shower me in Heaven’s love, My spirit’s clean and free from pain, my cup fills up with blessed rain, (Chorus) Rain, sweet rain, rain sweet rain, rain down on me, rain down on me, Sometimes I’m stormy ironed will, You calm my spirit keep me still, You bathe me in Your holy light while thunder cracks and lightning strikes, But I won’t run away from here ‘cause I’m so sure the storm will clear, revealing to me skies of blue, the colors of your love so true…(Chorus) Rain, sweet rain, rain sweet rain, rain down on me, rain down on me, You lead me through the raging waters, You guide me through the wind and thunder, I pray to You in all your glory, shine on through the rain

If Not For You
Ephesians 1:3 Deuteronomy 28:2-3
Bless the day I found You, bless the love You give to me, My reason to be living, You’re my reason to believe, bless our loving family, expressions of my love for You, Courageous and forgiving, in Your arms we see the truth, Days move on and seasons change, You hold the earth and sky, All creation calls Your name, The oceans roar and the babies cry, (Chorus) You’re there for me in my darkest hour, You give me strength; I can feel Your power, I just don’t know what I’d do, Lord if not for You, Lord if not for You, Bless all people living, embrace each life and hold them near, We thank You for their beauty and the moments that we share, Bless this world we live in, Ever-changing ever new, We pray for peace to unite us, Lord, we humbly turn to You, The world spins ‘round, the seasons change, You hold the earth and sky, All creation calls out Your name, We sing to You and our spirits fly, (Chorus) If not for You, I’d never feel the sunlight on my face, The moon and the stars would surely cease to be, For what is life if not designed to live and breathe for You,? Let us lift our voices up and pray…(Chorus) for Thine is the kingdom and the power Lord, if not for You. Lord, if not for You.

God is in the City
Psalm 46:4-5
There’s the hustle and bustle and the scrapers in the sky, Pushcarts and people flash before my eyes, Taxis play arpeggios honking through the blues, Arguments, fresh cement, girls in running shoes, When a million things bombard me like the dreaded day to day, Of faxes, bosses, email and the monthly rent I pay, I’m forgetting to remember all the reasons that we’re here, When construction site obscenities echo in my ears, Still I know there’s a sanctuary on Fifth Avenue, Each day I go to pray and I find my solitude, (Chorus) There’s St. Francis in the garden and Jesus through the door, I run up to His altar suddenly transformed, In the middle of the chaos, The traffic in my soul turns to peace and understanding knowing God is in the City, There’s a rattling below me on the platform where they stand, Where the pavement is pounding out to save the fallen man, Sirens ring above them leading back to Mount Sinai, Sidewalks crack, hearts attack, the homeless lady cries, Still I hear the church bells ringing on Fifth Avenue, Each day I go to pray and I find my solitude, (Chorus) The truth is, your head keeps buzzing if you leave it in the hive, The truth is, God is with you, He’s the reason we’re alive, So I pray, Lord I pray, CHORUS

Be With Me Now
(A Hymn for Debbie)
Psalm 23
There’s a road I must travel covered with stones, rugged and cutting my feet to the bone, weakened and weary I crawl up the hill, at the foot of my Master I lay down my will, (Chorus) And I sing to You be with me now, comfort me, carry me, be with me now, and I pray to You be with me now, tend to me, surrendering, be with me now, As I look to You Jesus there’s a burden You bear, hammered and wounded You delivered my care, As I struggle to see You with tears in my eyes, By the hands of my Savior I am healed and revived, (Chorus) There’s a light in the valley of the shadow ahead, Where I’ll fear no evil my spirit is fed, With the knowing of ages there’s a table for me, I drink from Your cup and Your love sets me free (Chorus)

As You Will
Proverbs 19:21, Jeremiah 32:19
Day after day, trapped in a maze of my troubles and fears, There seemed no escape, this treadmill of life was bringing me to tears, All the years so wracked with confusion; all the while a self-imposed delusion, Late one night, You came to me as if in a dream, You looked in my soul and revealed to me things I had never seen, Now I’ve come to the surprising conclusion, I’d been living in spiritual seclusion, I was lost but now I’m found, The power of Your love turned me around (Chorus)Do with me as You will, Show me the way to live by the light of Your word, Moving me to Your purpose, Take me by the hand and do with me as You will, Broke down the walls, seeing the world in a whole new light, Shattered pieces of my life have started to reunite, Though I recognized that something was missing, didn’t realize it was God I was dismissing, I was blind, but now I see, The power of Your love has set me free, (Chorus) Move me, guide me, lead me find me, Open up the chains that bind me, Free me, save me, give me, take me, To a place where believers never die….(Chorus)Oh Jesus take me by the hand

Angel on My Shoulder
Psalm 35:14
Staring out the window on a frigid winter’s day, got the news this morning and I don’t know what to say, I can’t believe you’ve left us oh so long before your time, I feel an aching emptiness…, Reality escapes me, please tell me it’s a dream, when I wake up from my sleeping you’ll be right there next to me, I hear your voice inside me just as though you’d never gone, I’ll just take your spirit with me and try to carry on, (Chorus) You’ll be my angel, angel on my shoulder, angel, an angel in my heart, from this earth you have departed though I really don’t know why, may God bless and keep you near me so I’ll never have to say goodbye. Remembering the good times, the laughter and the fun, I thought I’d never lose you ‘n that our lives had just begun, your love was like a diamond, oh so special and so rare, you sparkle now within me, Lord please hear my prayer, (Chorus) Angel, for a moment we were here together, Angel, the song you sing still echoes in my heart, And when my life is over you’ll whisper in my ear, “come with me to heaven where you’ll feel no pain or fear,” With angel wings around me I just know we’ll be all right, ‘cause we’re flying back to Jesus, we’re heading toward the light.
