I am special
Verse1
Bright morning star
Can I be just like you are
Shining above
Comforting the ones we love
And the voice inside my heart is telling me
That To be just like you is more than just a possibility
Chorus
Cos I am special
I can make a difference
Everywhere I go
Ill let the world know
Ill make this dream my own
I am a super, I’m a super hero
A shining light Ill be
For all to see
In this dream I will believe
Verse2
Young, bold and strong
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
Show them the way
In speech, in life, in love, in faith
And the voice inside my heart is telling me
That I am strong enough to make this dreams I have a reality
Bridge
I am special the way I am made
I don’t need to change who I am
To shine brighter than the stars
Brighter than the stars
Brighter than the stars
Brighter…brighter…brighter…
Bright morning star
Can I be just like you are
Shining above
Comforting the ones we love
And the voice inside my heart is telling me

Chorus
Cos I am special

Everywhere I go
Ill let the world know
Ill make this dream my own
I am a super, I’m a super hero
A shining light Ill be

Young, bold and strong
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior

Title: things that matter
V1
Don’t look down on me cos I’m young
For I’m full of life, and my journey’s just begun
I don’t have it all figured out
But I don’t wanna live my life just following the crowd
And all I hold,
Are these dreams, are these hopes
So please don’t take them away from me
When you look into my eyes,
Do you see yourself in me?
Please help me believe
Chorus
Cos these are the things that matter
These are the treasures of my heart
Everything I strive to be
What the world cant take from me
I wanna look back on this life and say
Im proud I lived this way
Was the best that I could be
Every single day
V2
I know there are no limits to the things I can achieve
I know that I am special, I can be a light for all to see
But these hopes I have are things I cannot do without
So please don’t put the fire out
Please don’t doubt my worth
Sometimes all I need is just a little love
Would you help me chase these dreams?
Would you carry me, so I can touch the sky?
Bridge
Do you see the smile on my face?
Its not something you can easily erase
So believe in me, just have a little faith
You can make a difference to my precious life today

faith
The killer of faith is lack of works. How very true. Sometimes we just need to take the first dive out into unknown waters...or we will never know will we
V1
If you do the things you have already done
Youll see the same things, youll win the things you have already won
Youll never know if you have not begun
But the first plunge, is the deepest one
Face to face, answer me
Im haunted by what I cannot see
The failure to believe
Face to face, how to react
Do I see the outstretched hand?
That went before I went
Chorus
If we dont move were not gonna change the world (x4)
V2
You may have let a moment pass you by
But He gives us second chances, its time to make this right
So would you light the way
The time is now, todays the day
Comtemplate, if this is real
Is this the way I am to feel
Is there something left concealed
Pack your bags, lack of acts
Cos I aint going down with this wreck
And im jumping of the deck
Chorus
If we dont move were not gonna change the world (x4)
Bridge
If we dont cry out
The rocks will cry out for us
If we dont move now
Mountains will get up and walk

Letters to Heaven
V1
The simple love of God displayed in that helpless face
And the tears that fell, they spoke too well, of Your endless grace
In your weakness, I found strength, strength to run this race
Through Your suffering and pain you made a way
Ill proclaim of your salvation day after day
Though a sinner, you took my shame away
O the splendor, the majesty, the subject of my praise
All glory to your holy name
I wrote these, all for You
Cos youre the song I sing in the morning
And I stand in awe of You...
Chorus
I worship You
With these words ill seal, my love
In these letters to heaven
And a dove will rise
To the holy skies
Receive, and let it be pleasing to Your heart
V2
The war you won on calvary was not for your own fame
But for the lost that turned against You, still you did not hesitate
And I song I know isnt much, but Lord fan it into flames
My stregth, my joy, in this dwelling place
Ill sing, ill shout
Ill tell the world of your glory
As I stand in awe of You...
Chorus
I worship You
With these words ill seal, my love
In these letters to heaven
And a dove will rise
To the holy skies
Receive, and let it be pleasing to Your heart
Outro
Too caught up in writing You, the perfect song
But Lord all you see is my heart, youre not concerned with the tune
"Dont get carried away my child, be still and know
Let these letters be sincere, let it come from your soul
And it will flow, it will flow, it will flow"
The simple love of God displayed in that helpless face
And the tears that fell, they spoke too well, of Your endless grace
In your weakness, I found strength, strength to run this race

What is worship to me?
1 Chronicles 16: 8-36

-Proclaim His salvation day after day (v23)
-Declare His glory among nations (v24)
-Ascribe to the Lord all glory and strength (v28)
Why do we worship the ONE we worship?
-His judgements are n all the earth (v14)

This a psalm of thanks king david wrote to God. David really knew how to worship God, and I beleive the key was He had a close reltionship with God, he KNEW God well. I believe worship is personal, and is different for every individual relationship with God. So what is worship to me personally? I have highlighted the points above that I can relate to in my walk as a worshiper. Thats worship to me individually. Of cos I have to add another reason,and a very important reason that did not exist in Davids time, it is the cross, and my redemption. The amazing grace of God, that I was lost and now found(: Above is a song I wrote on what worship is to me...

if I perish, I perish
Just a shy kid, unable to put my words together, but let me take that first step, that first plunge. See my heart and let this small faith translate to works. Do not let it be killed by memories. And Lord, if I perish, I perish
Short and sweet, but a long and difficult process to sing out.
V1
Will You take these plans of mine and let it slip from my hands
Let it be in line with what you intend
Let those who surround know the one I love, whom I adore
Take this dreams and make them Yours
Break my heart, break my soul
Everything I cling, everything I hold
Let my heart, beat like Yours
And ill go ill run just for this cause
Chorus
And if I perish, I perish
For I know I was meant for a time such as this
And if I perish, I perish
Ill make this count, Ill give it all I have to give
V2
Now I understand the significance of where I am
The solution in the palm of my hands
With what I hold I take this walk into the lions den
So let this faithlessness reach its end
Blow the horn, tear them down
Let the city walls crash to the ground
Heavens gates, open wide
Hear the sound of your servants cry
Chorus
And if I perish, I perish
For I know I was meant for a time such as this
And if I perish, I perish
Ill make this count, Ill give it all I have to give
Bridge
This enemy in front of me, is taunting me with a memory
Waiting there for my retreat
But unexpectedly I turn around and say confidently
Youre the one that has to flee
Cos Im here, moving on
Knowing where im coming from
So be gone, cos you know
you know whom im fighting for
Short and sweet, but a long and difficult process to sing out.

Waiting there for my retreat
But unexpectedly I turn around and say confidently
Youre the one that has to flee
Cos Im here, moving on
Knowing where im coming from
So be gone, cos you know
you know whom im fighting for
A simple prayer
V1
You live for no one but yourself
You live for pleasures, you live for wealth
But still you sit alone at night, considering giving up the fight
Through the highs and lows of life
You just watch this world fly by
And as the seconds run away, I got to let you know today
For One so loved the world
That He gave what He loved most
So that whoever would believe
Will not perish but have eternal life
Chorus
So dont turn this offer down today
Put down this barrier you create
What if tommorrow, holds nothing
What if tommorrow never comes?
Cos still right here you wait
In this emptyness you hate
What if tommorrow never comes
Will it be too late?
V2
You say this burdens too hard to bare
Well I've got something good to share
Something Ive found, that turned my life around
This moment is meant for you
This moment youve got to choose
Dont wait another moment, for the moment wont wait for you
The sin filled to the brim
Til there was no life left in Him
Though the blood soaked up his skin
It was heart that broke deep within
Chorus
Just so He could offer you today
So my friend dont hesitate
What if tommorrow, holds nothing
What of tommorrow never comes?
Still here today you wait
Here in this emptyness you hate
What if tommorrow, never comes
Will it be too late?
So here you sit alone
Listening intently to this song
Maybe, just maybe, your lifes about to change
You say youre not good enough
But He doesnt ask for much
All you need to do is say a little prayer
Call upon the name of Jesus
And today he'll set you free
Quietly as you close your eys
He will hear your plea...
"Jesus...O Jesus...
Come into my life right now
Take over, take over
Forgive me of my shame
And watch me rise again
Help me make these wrongs right
And through my life may I walk with You by my side..."
You live for no one but yourself

A Winning Formula
'Running with the winners, read Hebrews 12' was written on his shirt when he crossed the finishing line. How true, how true. Indeed it is written there plainly for us, a winning formula. 3 steps to win in life-
1.Throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles
2.Run with perserverence, the race marked out for us
3.(and most importantly) Fix your eyes on Jesus- and step 1 and 2 will be accomplished
Easier said then done of course. How will I run my race? How will i cross the finishing line?
V1
To win, to win
Its a common agenda
A wildly used propaganda
But does it really matter?
Cos I thought Id won, but still im miserable
Its just so intangible
I cant touch it, is this the way im suppose to feel?
Finally I realise, finally I see
It was never really ever about me
O God would You give it to me, the formula to be
The answer the key to live this life victoriously
Chorus
Throw off, throw off everything that hinders
To run this race marked out before us
Break away the sin that easily entangles
Perservere cos Youve gone before me
Endured the shame, laid down Your glory
So ill fix my eyes on the cross
Yea our fix my eyes on You
V2
Now I know, that I am greatly blessed
Underserving, none the less
Ill live my life for You and no one else
A cloud of witnesses here to guide the path
So ill give this everything I have
To be a light for you
Finally I realise, finally I see
This world is just a passage way for me
Because of You, I am free
So let me be of You, and not of me
For the glory set before me just like You ill strive to be
Chorus
So ill throw off, throw off everything that hinders
To run this race marked out before us
Break away the sin that easily entangles
Perservere cos Youve gone before me
Endured the shame, laid down Your glory
So ill fix my eyes on cross
Yea our fix my eyes on You
Bridge
Always thankful to God
For the good times and the bad
For my success, for my setbacks
Always a blessing to all
Cos I know You took the fall
So ill answer to Your call
And one day ill look back and say
I ran this race for You
I did my best to please You
Outro:

All You ask
V1
Can you look around tonight
Do you hear the crying in the dark
Crying out to nothing there
Screaming to the open air
Open my shallow eyes to see
Let me hear the children cry
Will my shallow heart now feel
How you felt when you left the sky
Pre-chorus
If I was there
If I saw you move
Will I not move the way you told me to?
Will I be bold enough
To live my life
The way you did before you gave your life
Chorus
And all you ask of me, was remember them
Was that what you were thinking of, when the nails pierced your hands
You felt all their pain, only you understand
Will I turn my back on them, never again
V2
Can I hear the old man weap
Struggling to make his keep
Or am I too proud a man
Just to spare an outstretched hand
Will I at least say a prayer?
Will my tears reach them there?
Who am I, who am I?
Can I go just like you went?
Pre-chorus
If I was there
If I saw you move
Will I not move the way you told me to?
Will I be bold enough
To live my life
The way you did before you gave your life
If my victory's, on the other side
Will I not give it all to serve the ones who hide
Can I run this race, can i fight this fight
In the darkess of nights, I will be their light
What was in it for You, what did you stand to gain
In exchange for all the pain, a lamb that was slain
You lay down your pride, you laid down your fame
To be poor like the least of them, can I do the same?
Never again, will their cries for help stay there
No longer will this be, just another prayer
So Ill walk this way of life, this burden I will bare
For I know it isnt fair, it isnt fair
Can you look around tonight
Do you hear the crying in the dark
Crying out to nothing there
Screaming to the open air
Open my shallow eyes to see
Let me hear the children cry
Will my shallow heart now feel
How you felt when you left the sky
Pre-chorus
If I was there
If I saw you move
Will I not move the way you told me to?
Will I be bold enough
To live my life
The way you did before you gave your life

Was that what you were thinking of, when the nails pierced your hands
You felt all their pain, only you understand

To be poor like the least of them, can I do the same?
Never again, will their cries for help stay there
No longer will this be, just another prayer
So Ill walk this way of life, this burden I will bare
For I know it isnt fair, it isnt fair
Know His power, in quietness and trust
Sometimes, we can preach our whole lives about You, but do we really know You?
Sometimes, we can sing our whole lives about You, but do we really know You?
Sometimes we can teach the children, how to live their lives for Jesus, but do you really know You?
-Jason Upton (Not alone)
What is common between David, Daniel and Moses in the bible. One shepard boy defeated a giant with a single pebble, one patient servant awaited calm and still in a den of roaring lions, one ordinary man led a whole nation out of their slavery to the promise land. How did they do it? Simply because they KNEW the God they worshipped, they KNEW His power, and therefoe they trusted and went forth. Do we really KNOW who is the great God we sing about?
Song title: The Great I am
V1
Sometimes we can preach our lives, all about Him
But one phone call comes and we lose everything we believe in
Sometimes we tell the children, Hes a God who heals
But when the sickness comes desperation is all that we feel
So can we say to Goliath
You come to me
With your arms that kill
With your weapons of steel...
But I come to you!
In the the name of the LIVING GOD
Fall on your knees
You have defied the army
Chorus
One stone is all it took
One stone and the ground it shook
With one single toss cos he knew who his God was
All he did was what he could
Daniel in the lions den
Awaited His mighty hand
To shut the mouths of the hungry beasts
Cos he knew, The Great I Am
V2
Sometimes we tell the world, our God reigns
But when the storm comes, we give up, we get consumed in our pain
Can we really say to the mountain, move aside
Cos in your heart you know the God in whom you abide
Say to the red sea
Youre not too big for me
Say to Pharaoh
Let my people go...
Cos I come to you!
In the name of the LIVING GOD
Fall on your knees
And set my people free
Chorus2
And ill lead them to the promise land
Even though im just an ordinary man
Slavery be gone cos of to whom they belong
The people of the LORD
Saul was a wicked man
But he was meant for a better plan
So he suffered a cause cos he knew who his God was
The Great I AM
Bridge
My rock, my strength
My only fortress
My one deliverer
My shield and the horn of my salvation
In whom I take my refuge
My one stronghold, my saviour king
You turn my darkness into light
Sometimes, we can sing our whole lives about You, but do we really know You?
Sometimes we can teach the children, how to live their lives for Jesus, but do you really know You?
-Jason Upton (Not alone)
What is common between David, Daniel and Moses in the bible. One shepard boy defeated a giant with a single pebble, one patient servant awaited calm and still in a den of roaring lions, one ordinary man led a whole nation out of their slavery to the promise land. How did they do it? Simply because they KNEW the God they worshipped, they KNEW His power, and therefoe they trusted and went forth. Do we really KNOW who is the great God we sing about?
Song title: The Great I am
V1
Sometimes we can preach our lives, all about Him
But one phone call comes and we lose everything we believe in
Sometimes we tell the children, Hes a God who heals
But when the sickness comes desperation is all that we feel
So can we say to Goliath
You come to me
With your arms that kill
With your weapons of steel...
But I come to you!
In the the name of the LIVING GOD
Fall on your knees
You have defied the army
Chorus
One stone is all it took
One stone and the ground it shook
With one single toss cos he knew who his God was
All he did was what he could
Daniel in the lions den
Awaited His mighty hand
To shut the mouths of the hungry beasts
Cos he knew, The Great I Am
V2
Sometimes we tell the world, our God reigns
But when the storm comes, we give up, we get consumed in our pain
Can we really say to the mountain, move aside
Cos in your heart you know the God in whom you abide
Say to the red sea
Youre not too big for me
Say to Pharaoh
Let my people go...
Cos I come to you!
In the name of the LIVING GOD
Fall on your knees
And set my people free
Chorus2
And ill lead them to the promise land
Even though im just an ordinary man
Slavery be gone cos of to whom they belong
The people of the LORD
Saul was a wicked man
But he was meant for a better plan
So he suffered a cause cos he knew who his God was
The Great I AM
Bridge
My rock, my strength
My only fortress

My one stronghold, my saviour king
You turn my darkness into light
SuperStar
Where do we find our worth? Theres always someone better, someone smarter, someone stronger, and the list goes on. In conclusion, there is no where on earth we can find our worth, in a literal sense. We all strive to be that superstar, to stand out, failing to realise the mere beauty of our existense. We are His proudest creation, made in His liking. We already are valuable from the point of the birth, already a star. So shine on(: not for the glory of ones self but for our creator. For that is the only way we can shine, through the very source of light!
V1
"Just like the stars in the night sky
My child you shine so brightly in my eyes
How could you doubt my creation
Everytime you look down on your formation"
"Cos before I gave this earth life
I was thinking of you, your face was on my mind
That precious smile, the twinkle in your eye
Just as I planned, they look so much like mine"
Chorus
"Special boy, special girl
Why do you do this to yourself?
Dont you know, how much you make me glad
And im proud to be your dad
Precious boy, precious girl
Can you not see how much youre worth?
Just think, you must have been worth somthing big
Cos i would'nt come and die just for nothing"
V2
"Do you see the beauty of the sunrise?
Can you feel the coolness of the night?
But the purpose of these I was creating
Was for you, for you in the making"
"Cos long ago, I had a dream of you
You were more beautiful than the stars and the moon
Then you were made fearfully, wonderfully
So as Ive dreamed for you, would you now dream for me?"
Chorus 2
"Special boy, special girl
Wipe those tears of your face
Cos I paid for you with the fullness of my grace
Just so you could feel again the warmth of my embrace
Precious boy, precious girl
Plaeas dont change the way you are
Cant you see? youre so beautiful to me
Cant you see, cant you see"

song of love
Hold me close
How lovely is your touch
Never lose your hold
this is all i ask
Cos im in a place ive never been before
I could not ask for more
But draw me deeper in this love
Hold me down, keep me away from the surface
Of your river of love
Bring me deep, bring me closer
In this dwelling place Ill be
Dont wanna wait another day, outside the door
Out of the presence of your love
Let it flow, let this fragrence rise to you
The smell is just so sweet
Captivate me, draw me deep
Cos in this love I do believe
Your love for me
Like the sun when all is grey
So let my eyes see only you
Even when theres so much in the way
Cos through the mighty storm this love remains strong
This love will follow through
This love endures it all, and I know that it is true
Dont leave me a moment without you
Let it pour, let it pour, let it pour
Let my cup overflow
Let it pour, let it pour
Til my cup overflows
And I will soar, I will soar, I will soar
Let these wings of love unfold
I will wait, I will wait
Cos in the quietness I know
In this dwelling place Ill be
Dont wanna wait another day, outside the door
Out of the presence of your love
Let it flow, let this fragrence rise to you
The smell is just so sweet
Captivate me, draw me deep

How lovely is your touch
Never lose your hold

The Fathers pain
All of a sudden i was promted to write a song about this. I know i can never really put to words the pain the son, and the father went through, but this really gives me a clearer picture, of the agony, the ultimate sacrifice that had to be made. The song is Gods point of view of the cruxifiction. When His one and only son lay dead in His arms..
V1
The darling of My kingdom, fell to the ground
With his hands tied up, spat on by the crowd
Only to obey, to make his Father proud
Against his own will, he said let your will be done
When you knelt there and prayed
The tears fell from your face
Father take this cup from me, but only if You please
But it breaks my heart to say
That there is no other way
To see my children once again
Chorus
No other way, I love them anyway
My Son, dont cry
Look to your crown, that awaits you here in heaven
But I have to turn my back on you now, Im turning my back on you for now
V2
The blood you spill will bring them back to me
The tears I spill, will wash them clean
In your dying breath you shouted to the sky
Have mercy on them, for their sin is now on me
And all I wanna say
Is my son how much I love you
But you knew this would come, I cant speak to you for now
I hear you crying out
Father why have you forsaken me
But this only ends when I say 'it is done'
And I cant be with you for now, My son
Chorus
No other way, I love them anyway
My Son, dont cry
Look to your crown, that awaits you here in heaven
But I have to turn my back on you now, Im turning my back on you for now
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*If u have yet to experience the Fathers Love, let me introduce you to this man I sing about, a man that gave His life for you, His name is Jesus, and all you need to do to accept him as your saviour is to ask. and let me make it clear that He did not remain dead, he rose up victorious! and we praise a living God (:

Remember them
Serving the poor and needy is not a service or a ministry, it is a way of life. Who else demonstrated that better, then Jesus himself. He came to this world to be poor,to be made in human likeness, placing aside all the riches and glory in heaven, and finally became obedient to death on the cross. Can we really see the lost in your eyes Lord? Let me ache everytime I see the kids who are hurting, help me understand their pain. I know i never will, but Lord display your love for them in me.
'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?' When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and cloth you? When did we see you sick or in prson and go visit you?' The king will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it for me'

The desperate call
Verse1
Remember me, would you remember me?
Remember them, as I have remembered them
In the dark, you look out for a hero
But all you see is pain, all you see is hate
And do I even understand, your pain
You're drowning, struggling as hard as you can
You say maybe this is all im meant to be
You say why do you even care
I dont see a better life in front of me
So to dream I would not dare
Chorus
Would someone save the day
Would someone make a way
Would someone save a prayer, for me (x2)
Verse2
Open my eyes to see, the hearts that are aching
Rekindle the spark, and break me once again
Cos i could easily have been in their place, not for your grace
So in me display Your love for them
Children, remind me to have faith for you
Would you remind me why He did it all
Cos sometimes it hard reaching out to you
So remind me of your desperate call
Chorus
Would someone save the day
Would someone make a way
Would someone save a prayer, for me (x4)
Bridge
So reach out, dont hold back
Cos a hero once came to save the day
Reach out, dont be afraid
This hero can take the pain away
Cos I came,
And humbled down myself
And became obedient to death
All for you
So quench My thirst
And feed Me when im hungry
Cos whatever you did for the least of them
You did for Me
Chorus
My God will save the day
My God will make a way
My God will hear my prayer for you (x2)
Remember me, would you remember me?
Remember them, as I have remembered them
In the dark, you look out for a hero
But all you see is pain, all you see is hate
And do I even understand, your pain
You're drowning, struggling as hard as you can
You say maybe this is all im meant to be

Prodigal
How many times, have i broken Your heart, but still you forgave, if only i ask
Title: Once again
Verse
Cast away, everything that is'nt you
Break away, the selfishness
Cos im sick and tired of running away
I don't wanna do this anymore
Today i remeber your love for me
But can i once again walk through that door
Chorus
If I could count the stars in the sky
Could it compare to how many times
Your heart broke
But still here you are with open arms
When the world is cold here i kept warm
This was the place i found my strength
Take cover
In the shelter of your wings
Here i find myself again
Verse
Tear them down, all the pride deep within
Demolish every barrier, that keeps me here from you
Cos this sinning has'nt got me anywhere
But spinning around in endless circles
Today once again im turning back
Today I decide im coming home
Chorus
If I could count the stars in the sky
Could it compare to how many times
Your heart broke
But still here you are with open arms
When the world is cold here i kept warm
This was the place i found my strength
Take cover
In the shelter of your wings
Here i find myself again
Bridge
Far away
Is that you i see

Running fast to me (x2)

Take me back
To the place that I belong

A journey back (updated)
V1
Ever since the day You came
The veil is thorn, i can speak to God again
Ever since you came and died
A world so lost, now has hope again
So take me back
two thousand years
To stand at the feet...where the blood dripped
So take me to
Gethsemane
where You knelt and prayed, to wipe the tears of Your eyes
Pre-chorus
Tell me who is this man?
Tell me what has He done
To deserve such a death
It makes no sense at all
that a man who knew no sin
Is hanging on that cross
Chorus
And i know who nailed Your hands, It was me
And i know who gave those scars on Your back, It was me
And i know who had forsaken You, It was me
but i know who You were thinking off... It was me
V2
I can see the path You walked
I can see the ones You created, striking You down
O when i sin against You Lord
does the thorns grow deeper, do the scars not heal
Pre-chorus
It makes no sense at all
I'm suppose to be the one
I deserve this all
Is there any greater love?
that the one who takes my place
Is hanging on that cross
Chorus
And i know who nailed Your hands, It was me
And i know who gave those scars on Your back, It was me
And i know who had forsaken You, It was me
And i know who led You there
I know who broke Your heart, it was me
I know who placed that crown on Your head, it was me
I know who should have been in your place, it was me
yet i know why you did it all... It was me
Bridge
Tell me who is that man
that man hanging on the cross
Tell me what has he done?
I deserve to be the one
yet im the one who held his hand
and nailed it to the cross
The blood dripped away
The blood on my hands
What have i done?
This blood healed my sins
This blood paid the price
It carried all my shame
So take me back
to that day
O that precious day, that this sacrifice was made
Take me to
The nail scared hands
where You stood and wept, I was there...
Ever since the day You came
The veil is thorn, i can speak to God again
Ever since you came and died
A world so lost, now has hope again
So take me back
two thousand years
To stand at the feet...where the blood dripped

Redemption
This title of this song is "Redemption". It is a three way conversation by a sinner, a friend, and finally God. And if you look even closer, its a 4 way conversation(do u see Jesus in the story?)The story of the prodigal son is indeed amazing. It leaves me speechless. Once i was like the prodigal son but God accepted me,ran to embrace me. Now if only my friend, you could come back to the father as well. Yes its only by love, dont let Him wait for you any longer..
(V1) The sinner:
"Who am I, who am I
Is this all I’m meant to be
Fighting a war on the inside
Yet no one hears my screams
Is there a way is there a way?
Some way out of this
Is there anybody out there?
Come and rescue me.."
(Pre-chorus) The friend:
"Listen my friend there’s a way out
Look inside you and you’ll find that it’s real
Nothing you have done does deserve this
But He’s knocking, He’s knocking
(Chorus)
Don’t let this moment just slip away
Don’t let the distance keep you from His face
It’s only by love, it’s only by grace
Listen my friend, don’t hesitate
He’s wanting to hold you, if you just let Him reach
He’s wanting to love you, it’s the way its always been
Now is the time, now is the day
Don’t let Him wait, Don’t let him wait"
(V2) Sinner:
"But who am I, who am I?
Just a sinner in your eyes
What must I do to repay You?
To make this life worth"
Friend:
"Forgiveness that’s beyond understanding,
Face the unconditional love
Fall into the arms of the father
Now He’s running, would you run?"
(Bridge) Sinner:
God if you hear my cry
come help me, come save me
God if you hear my cry
come rescue me
God if you hear my cry
come help me, come save me
God if you hear my cry
come take me away..
Away... Away…
And I will soar with wings like eagles
And rise above the sky
Away… Away…
God if you hear my cry, come help me, come save me
God if you hear my cry, come rescue me
God if you hear my cry, come help me, come save me
God if you hear my cry, come take me away..
And God speaks:
Son I hear your cry
I hear you, I always did
Son it’s up to you
To come home
Haven’t you always known
I love you, I care for you
I’ve been waiting for you son
To come home...

a cocoon, a struggle, a butterfly
In lifes struggles, listen not to the deceipful voices of the world, but listen to that one voice of Truth. Going through tough times will build us, but isnt it great to know that our heavenly father is always there to comfort us?and He always chooses the right moment to do so.

Hold still now, Hes calling out to you
My child
My precious child
Ill never leave you
I wont forsake you
Come rest
Here in my arms
Cry on my shoulder
Ill carry you though
Youre safe here now
Catch me if I fall, I know you've walked the path before me
Show me your ways, and never leave my side
Carry me on you wings, Ill hold on tight
Never let me go, I need you here tonight
Son listen, this is for your glory
Just listen, this is because I love you
My child
My precious child
Ill never leave you
I wont forsake you
Come rest
Here in my arms
Cry on my shoulder
Ill carry you though
Youre safe here now
