A brighter day
03:33
|
|||
|
The moon sets in the sky
And dawn has closed the night
And here among the tallest trees
The sun gives out its light
But we just carry on
As if it will always be
How often do we take the time
To praise the world we see?
Chorus:
And from the green fields to distant waters
From highest mountains to dark green woodland
God sheds his light on the world around us
And he shows us a brighter day
The rain falls gently down
It nourishes the earth
And taking shelter for a while
We soon witness a birth
The Earth cries out its joy
For new life has begun
And God is ever present
When nature’s work is done
Chorus:
And from the green fields…
The light casts longer shadows
And so the day is done
And glorious colours of the sky
Show the setting of the sun
In our hearts we pray
That all may safely sleep
And over us the Lord will watch
We are the flock he keeps
Chorus:
And from the green fields…

God in my head
04:38
|
|||
|
Chorus:
God in my head
God in my head
The still small voice speaks to me
(Repeat)
It’s with me when I wake in the morning
Somewhere at my side, somewhere above
Sometimes a whisper, sometimes a warning
The voice of reason and of love
Chorus:
God in my head…
It’s there at every hour to give me counsel
The tender voice of peace, the wings of a dove
It fills me heart full, fills my heart full
With songs of innocence and love
Chorus:
God in my head…
And in my hour of need the spirit moves me
Answering my prayer in ways unknown
My soul is telling its secrets dwelling
And somehow I am not alone
Chorus:
God in my head…

Let's build a church
03:07
|
|||
|
Let’s build a church out of the darkness
One of the old kind that seems to be lost
Let’s follow the Lord wherever He guides us
And as it grows we’ll measure the cost
Chorus:
And sing Hallelujah
Sing out to Heaven
Hallelujah to Heaven on high
Let’s say a prayer for those in the darkness
To give them the hope they need to survive
Let’s give our thanks to God and each other
And treasure the joy of being alive
Chorus:
And sing Hallelujah…
Let’s sing our praise to God Almighty
All fair and all wise who gave us the light
Who gives us our strength and our salvation
For He is the guardian of day and night
Chorus:
And sing Hallelujah…

Jesus come down
02:10
|
|||
|
Chorus:
Jesus come down, prophets come down
Tell us the story, tell us the story
Jesus come down, prophets come down
Tell us the story of God
Tell us (tell us)
Of His love
His divine protecting love
Does He really love us all
Even when we fall?
Chorus:
Jesus come down…
Tell us (tell us)
Of the light
Of the bright eternal light
Is there heaven, is there hell
What do spirits tell?
Chorus:
Jesus come down…
Tell us (tell us)
Of after life
Is there everlasting life?
Is it meant for everyone
Do we go on and on?
Chorus:
Jesus come down…

John the Baptist
03:23
|
|||
|
Chorus:
Hear now, John the Baptist
Hear the prophet John
He will go ahead of the Lord
To prepare the road that goes on and on
Hear now, John the Baptist
Hear the prophet John
A prophet of the most high God
Zechariah’s son
Someone is shouting in the desert
“Get the road ready for the Lord
Make a straight path for him to travel
And you will have your life’s reward.”
Chorus:
Hear now, John the Baptist…
He baptised in the River Jordan
All the people gathered round
And when Jesus also took his turn
The holy spirit as a dove came down
Chorus:
Hear now, John the Baptist…
Our God is merciful and tender
He will bring the dawn
And the one that led the way to him
Was the prophet John
Chorus:
Hear now, John the Baptist…

Part of creation
02:23
|
|||
|
From the petals on a flower
To the rustling leaves
Nature starts a dance
In the open breeze
And I am part of the dance as far as I can see
For I am part of creation
And God is always with me
Sorrow takes a break
When the sun is out
To watch the world in peace
Is what it’s all about
And I never knew how happy I could be
For I am part of creation
And God is always with me
But I know one day
I will draw my last breath
For all that lives and breathes
Must sometime face death
And now I realise how precious life can be
For I am part of creation
And God is always with me
For I am part of creation
And God is always with me

Save us oh Lord
03:41
|
|||
|
Chorus:
Save us oh lord
Save us oh lord
Save us oh lord
From the harm done in the world
When fundamental thinkers
Believe theirs the only way
Build bombs to gain attention
And kill those in the way
Their mission is genocide
Their goal is paradise
Can they not see the consequence
Through someone else’s eyes?
Chorus:
Save us oh lord…
When a husband thinks his fist
Can speak louder than his word
And with just a single comment
His anger can be stirred
She knows he will always win
Until she walks away
And covers up her bruises
While waiting for that day
Chorus:
Save us oh lord…
If children kill children
What morals have they learned?
Their conscience may be troubled
Their anger may be turned
Against a powerless victim
Whose cries are never heard
A mother cries to heaven
And rails against the word
Chorus:
Save us oh lord…

Here in the silence
I call upon God
The spirit of the world
My strength, my all
My soul, my being
Lift me up
Take my spirit up
Up to the highest mountain
And show me the world
Then bring me back down
Down to earth
To feel the ground beneath my feet
To feel the soil
Here
Here in the silence

My God
03:04
|
|||
|
My God makes me sing
Of the joy in everything
My God calls to me
He makes me see that I am really free
Free to live, free to be
The life and soul of everything I see
My God makes me sing
Of the joy in everything
My God calls to me
He makes me see that I’m unique truly
Unique in life, a peerless soul
An individual with a lifelong goal
My God makes me sing
Of the joy in everything
My God calls to me
He makes me see that loving is the key
Loving life, loving all
Loving right from dawn until nightfall
My God makes me sing
Of the joy in everything
My God calls to me
He tells me to listen carefully
To listen to the great and good
To listen till I’ve really understood
My God makes me sing
Of the joy in everything
My God calls to me
He makes me see that I am really free

Show me the way
04:12
|
|||
|
Chorus:
Show me the way
To the place of the Lord
Show me the way
I need to know my faith is assured
Show me the way
To the place of the Lord
Show me the way
I need to know my life’s true reward
So if I follow in Jesus’ footsteps
I’m sure the best is yet to come
I give my heart out to the Lord now
I feel it beating like a drum
Chorus
Your arms are strong, my hands are weak
I need your help to pull myself free
And from the dark I see the light
I know I’m near God’s company
Chorus
So let us join and sing together
And praise His Holy Name
Let us rejoice that in His sight
Everyone on Earth’s the same
Chorus

What do we do with cares and troubles
At the end of a weary day?
Do we swear and curse
Or do we let them fade away?
Say a little prayer and wait till
Those troubled thoughts have gone
And remember there’s another side
To every path we’re on
Chorus:
And heaven, oh heaven
Heaven is a place
A parallel universe
And heaven is in my heart
Heaven is a place
A parallel universe
If you pray for a miracle
Then surely God will hear
And when the time is right
A bit of heaven may appear
We can turn tears into laughter
And a frown to a radiant smile
And heaven’s always waiting
When we’ve gone that extra mile
Chorus
Don’t wait, don’t wait
For tomorrow to start
Every day’s like Christmas
If you have a song in your heart
Chorus

Al salaam, oseh shalom
Solh e jahaani, ha-see-tee

We are sisters, we are brothers
We are children of the world
Ever loving, ever giving
To the light that heals us all
Al salaam, oseh shalom
Solh e jahaani, ha-see-tee
(repeat)
(or chant:)
Hee-peeng, meer, shanti
Meer shanti, jam shanti
Hee-peeng, meer, shanti
Jam shanti (repeat)
Let’s be joyful and sing together
For this is our only world
Let all hatred be forgotten
And let patience be our goal
Al salaam, oseh shalom
Solh e jahaani, has-ee-tee
(repeat)
(or chant:)
Hee-peeng, meer, shanti
Meer shanti, jam shanti
Hee-peeng, meer, shanti

If we imagine all the people living for today
Would the fighting in the world all cease?
It doesn’t really matter where in the world we live
To love our neighbour means to live in peace
It only takes one sinner to undo a lot of good
To take a city just because he could
Better a man who has patience in his soul
Than a man who takes cities under control
(Repeat)
We are called to trust and believe we have the power
To finally put an end to all wars
Speak out and live for peace in this ever-changing world
There could not be a better worthy cause
And it we should find out what violence one may do
We should remember that they are human too
Better a man who has patience in his soul
Than a man who takes cities under control
(Repeat)
For wisdom is better
Than all the weapons we acquire
How do we finally lay them down
Is harmony our one desire?
Better a man who has patience in his soul
Than a man who takes cities under control
(Repeat)

Meditation
04:12
|
|||
|
The journey to the higher self
Seems rich beyond compare
Meditation, so I’m told
Could help to get me there
But I could never understand
The science of the soul
Rather just to savour life
And let the good times roll
The twists and turns of life
Can test the yearnings of the soul
Meditation is a gift
That gives us back control
Forgiveness and compassion
Are ideals I want to know
But genuine display of these
Not words that put on a show
The journey to the higher self
Must be like going home
Thoughts surrender to the silence
Breath can utter ‘om’
Can we ever understand
The science of the soul
We know it just seems easier
To let the good times roll
Truth we realise
To become more wise
To have inner peace
Love will soon increase
Our hearts will be alive with song
Our voices will be heard
When we share our joy
There’ll be a harvest for the world
