Welcome

Oh Lord,, for it is a simple tune I sing,
Forever to you my cares I bring,
I cling to you oh help me please,
Help my soul, Oh Lord, at ease.

It is but a problem I face this nigh,
My crippled heart is an aching sigh
My soul it reaches to only but you
Help me Lord if thou wilt do.

Hold me father as I cry my tears
Unforgiving of sin, I cry out in fear
Too many doubts about the journey thus far
Hold me Lord, on your promised Star.

I yearn for freedom, for normal in mind
Tighter it goes, like clockwork I wind
Increasing the pressure of a sprung metal coil,
Daily it happens, and daily my toil.

I know I can cling to the promise of yours
Of never leaving or forsaking what's yours
And I cling to this promise, and hold on to it tight
It will help me get through, the rest of this night.

Sin,,, it is a real problem a foe we can't defeat
An enemy in disguise a force we cannot beat
It is everywhere around us within the people that we see,
Like a virus within our own the pleasures from which we flee,

We grapple head to head, this foe we can't bring down,
Struggling to get free, this umpteenth time around,
It hacks into our minds and searches for the weak
It manipulates our thoughts from which we dare not speak

And it reaches in, and gnaws away, in an unrelenting fashion,
But we dare not feed it, no we daren't for fear to turn our passion,
We endure and carry onwards with this gnawing in our minds
The only way we can soften it, is in Jesus Christ we find

We fight for all that's Holy to live lives from His Book
To read and pray through every page from Sin would have us pluck
Our eyes are fixed on Jesus the Saviour of our Soul
And as a thankful ready people we give to him our all,

And if we stray today to look around and take our eyes off Him
Satan pounces as an angry dog and stirs the pleasures within,
We try to wrestle with him and put him to the ground
But if we are not focused inevitability will be found

And when we awaken with our faces in the dirt
And the light within dims and our whole body hurts
And our Soul is screaming from the Hurt that's within
And we try and run from, the sepid stench of Sin,

We try to remember of where we went awry
We realise our foolishness so back to Christ we cry.
So of course the Lord He welcomes, back to His open arms
We tell Him of our wrong to Him He puts to bed our calms

And when we see His smiling face and the Glories that surround
We cannot help but throw ourselves at His feet onto the ground
It is so much an endurance this fight to keep our Soul
But Satan will try and steal it, so the Love of Christ we hold.

And we endure to carry onward with this gnawing in our mind
And we rest our problems with this Jesus
The Saviour of Mankind.

Fisher of wishes
And dreamer of dreams,
Hoping upon hope,
As nothings what it seems,
Dreaming for some better days,
In oh so many ways
Captivated by the world,
And the issues it seems to raise,
But the hoper in us all,
And the dreamers of desire,
Wish for better things,
In all that we admire,
And the hopers within us all,
Will reach out and stand tall,
And persevere and admire,
Till the objects we require,
And nothing seems to say,
Hold on, there's a better way,
As we clamber for our places,
In our modern day to day,
Filling up our hearts,
Of desires, which to hold,
Trying to fill with joy,
And get from Winters cold,
And yet nothing seems to fill,
Our empty barren soul,
It is yearning for that something,
To fill that empty hole,
And you can't seem to fill,
From what the world has to give,
So look up to the Heavens,
In order that we should live,
And look at what God has offered,
And look at what He's done,
He gave to us his peace,
Through his Eternal Son.

As I clambered for my place on this Planet I called my home
My empty heart and saddened face, discontented did I moan,
With my heart full of sadness and Tear-drops full of woe,
No joy abounds with gladness, as the tear-drops overflow,

My life was but dependant, to feel alive once more
Wallowing in discontentment, numbing the pain of war,
This war of right and wrong that raged within my soul
Numbing it to a new song that rages within us all,

But for most,,,,,, start a new start, as they hear the words of love
A renewing of their own heart by Grace from up above,

And so,,,,

Last night I talked of bad times and took rest on solid ground
And agreed to follow the Son of God cos He's the King I've crowned,
And I asked him for forgiveness for the error of my ways,
And both my Eyes were opened up, now my heart shall surely stay

And yesterday I saw him for the first time in my while
And this morning when I woke, I had that everlasting smile,
And I'll always know how much He cares, and that He's my number one,
The journey was made so clear to me, by his,, eternal Son,

So now I talk of good times, which far outweigh the bad,
And whenever I start to feel low, I see the friend I have,
And I see Him for all his Glory, and I feel Him in my heart,
And this is where I have to stop,
So that Jesus can make a start.

Sing a song, a new song
To the beating of your heart
Forever going onwards
The midst of time departs

Gather up your promises
And look to Heaven above
Grasp within your own heart
This gift of timeless love

For He is, the gift of all Salvation
As He holds the keys of time
You can, now, become a new creation
When you say, that "Jesus is mine"

So cross the carnal boundaries
And enter His Salvation
And sing a song, a new song
To this "Timeless Revelation"

High above the world unseen
With my life at my command
Watching the rivers of death run by
In this green and pleasant land
Rivers of blood, that are shed by man,
As they trickle slowly by,
Caused by Wars near and far,
There is no reason why
Death is so absalute
As I walk this green and pleasant land
But death is all about me
In all this land I find
But greeness can be seen
Against the speckled spots of blood
The greeness of the trees
As they climb gently within the wood
But on the riverbanks
There tells a different story
Of man and all his wisdom
Causing Wars for all his Glory
Yet, I can come here
To find the truth and reason why
The Laws of the Governments
The Truth they cannot hide
But all about me, there is greed
A sinful thing, I know,
The German army knew this
As they lay dying in Russian snow
But yet the wind does softly blow
And the ripples of life go by
These Wars will get more common,
And more men shall surely die.
So on this letter I will write
Of life not yet seen
And yet all the Wars on earth
Will never see where I have been
And gently down the riverside
At the graveyard I will stand
And yet I look about me
And see a green and pleasant land.

When you go home today and you rest in your bed
These may be your thoughts as they fly round your head
As you lie in your bed with your thoughts late this night
And you reflect on the day that has passed by your sight
And you wonder of the morrow and all its delight
And your head seems heavy as your thoughts take flight
You wonder to much,, how you'll get through it all
As the days melt to years and they are taking their toll

And the world so it seems,, is to be having a ball
But your world is darkened by the worries you hold
This bleak life of yours has the responsibility of one
And you fumble for your happiness but you are undone
And the daylight dawns , but still you see dark
And your energy weakens you, in making your mark
You don't see the dawn and you don't see the light
For you're blinded by your grasp, and its just within sight

Focusing on darkness where the light never shone
You endevour too see a glimmer, but you are undone
You don't see your focus, and that it was, still the same
As it was when you were younger, now you're focusing in vain

Money riches glory power, you may never will attain
Even if you did, still your focus would be the same
The things of life you count on, you don't require at all
Jesus is the only one, that can save you from your fall

At the moment you are playing a pawn in the devils evil game
Grab on hold of Jesus, who will deliver you from your shame
Jesus came and died for you, and came and lived as man
And He came with one objective, to Save, of course He can
He came and bled and died for you, a savior through and through
He lived and breathed and died in pain, it was all just for you
Of course I do not wish to say He will give you what you grasp
He will of course give his dying Love, and that my friend will last

If you truly are repentant and cry forgiveness in your plea
He will give you by His Grace a Saviour, a Saviour to which to flee
But beware my friend of this of fresh battles which to win
Your soul may be sanctified but you still will have sin
But in the path of Gods love, the deed has been done
The despair of life is over, and the war is won
So, as you lie in your bed, with your thoughts late at night
And you reflect on the day that has passed by your sight
And you wonder of the morrow and all its delight
Rest on this Saviour, and watch the rest take flight
You now have a choice about which pathway you should go
Just go the way of Jesus, Its Him you ought to know

If you could hold a mirror to your face
And peer within its view
What would the image say
If it could clearly speak to you
And as you look ever closer
So, much to magnify
What person would you see
As you see reflections eye
Would you see your real self
Or a portion of that said
Or would you see someone else
With a mask around their head
We all wear these masks from time to time to time
And I believe that I am wearing mine
As I am reading out this line
This Mask of mine shows confidence
Though a nervous wreck inside
It is a mask for this moment
and my real self is denied
With all of our masks on,
To the World we can convey
That we are having a great time
And an exciting fun-filled day
We can appear hard as nails
When we know we are weak
We give ourselves false courage
When we can barely speak
We can hold back faint tears
Till every one finally goes,
And we tell our friends, we like them
when clearly the opposite shows.
We tell people we haven't
When its plain to see we have
And we hate to show our feelings
just in case they see and laugh
And at the end of each day
The Mask goes on the shelf
We are left with the person we are,
There is, no one else
Who can ask, who is, the real me,
I guess we all have to look
deep in that mirror and See!!!!

As you hung up there
On that guilty cross of shame
Bleeding and dying
For the sake of my name
Did you hear my voice calling
As you hung there alone
As your final breath sighed,
And your heart lost its groan?
Did you say to yourself,
I am doing it for you,
Was I worth all the pain,
That your body went through?
How could you love me,
A wretch such as I,
To give yourself up,
For your body to die?
I know that you did it,
And died on that tree,
But how could you love
A wretch such as me?
You know who I am
And the person inside
You even knew this
when you hung up to die.
And with all this,
And the pain you went through,
What an act of forgiveness
To say, I LOVE YOU.!!!

Love lasts forever, I've been told today
Love lasts forever, or so, they say
Love lasts a lifetime, which, yours or mine
Love incomprehensible, from the beginning of time

Love reaches out, across the largest void
Love reaching you, you should not avoid
Love has its own spoils, unless absolutely true
Love lasts forever, as love would do

Love is so patient and love is so kind
In my heart always, this love you will find
Love does not envy, nor does it boast
Love is in my heart, so my heart plays the host

Love is neither proud or is it ill spoken
Love is not self-seeking, neither plays token
Love is not easily angered, nor keeper of wrong
Love is a passenger train, where my love does belong

Love delights not in evil, but loves all the truth
Love is a subtle wine, like a sweet Vermouth
Love always protects, and love always does trust
Love goes on always, as love, love must

Love always hopes and will always persevere
Love does not hide from the presence of fear
Love never fails, as I was told today
I suppose they could be right,
In the words that they say.

I do not know whether you have heard or not,
That life as we know it will pretty much stop
You may not have heard about the upcoming motion,
Which everyone will know about from ocean to ocean,
From everyone here to the end of town,
From the city to the country the Truth will come round
From person to person, from Peter to Paul
To the people in the town, the Truth will call,
It isn't in the papers nor in the evening news
Nor is it in the minds of man, who is adamant to refuse,
But before you walk on by and walk away from here
There is something I want to tell you and I'll make it quite clear
The Truth has given us, life with sight speech and sound
He has spoken creation, which is all to be found,
He has given us abilities to enjoy the fruits from Him
Which we take in our abundance, to satisfy our whim
We enjoy this person, most eagerly each and every day
But do we stop and thank Him or do we turn away,
Do we give to Him all Honour from our hearts do we lift
Do we thank and praise Him, for each and every gift
Our eyes have clouded vision, for we do not see our God
There is stumbling all around as all we see is fog
He is the reason I'm telling you, of events to soon unfold
The Bible tells, His coming, so the scriptures word will hold
And the Gates of Heaven shall open, with a shout to be heard
It is spoken within the Bible, each and every word
He shall charge with a triumph from Heaven down to earth
And take with Him all, who had received their second Birth
And every knee shall bow on that glorious final day
Jesus Christ is the Lord, everyone shall say
Then will come the Judgement for access to be with Him
And everyone will give accounts, of their willful acts of Sin
And the King shall speak, and you'll have nothing to say
And if you don't know Jesus, you will be banished far away
An eternity is spoken of, this I am quite certain
Your view of God shall be covered, like a window with a curtain
Now,,,, is the allotted time, so make you peace with Him
Do not pass by today, and make your choice for Sin
No man knows the hour that day will finally come
For that day is coming soon, and God's will will be done
Do not ponder and decide, to make your peace tomorrow
For if the Lord does come tonight, your soul will reap its sorrow
So reach out for Him now and take Him by the hand
For He will guide us both on, into the Promised land

Oh Lord,, for it is a simple tune I sing,
Forever to you my cares I bring,
I cling to you oh help me please,
Help my soul, Oh Lord, at ease.

It is but a problem I face this nigh,
My crippled heart is an aching sigh
My soul it reaches to only but you
Help me Lord if thou wilt do.

Hold me father as I cry my tears
Unforgiving of sin, I cry out in fear
Too many doubts about the journey thus far
Hold me Lord, on your promised Star.

I yearn for freedom, for normal in mind
Tighter it goes, like clockwork I wind
Increasing the pressure of a sprung metal coil,
Daily it happens, and daily my toil.

I know I can cling to the promise of yours
Of never leaving or forsaking what's yours
And I cling to this promise, and hold on to it tight
It will help me get through, the rest of this night.

Oh what a life we lead
We yearn to struggle and succeed,
Telling ourselves it is what we need,
Oh what a life driven by greed.

This simple life plods on and on,
And people forget about the life that's gone,
Content in living just for fun,
Man and Sin, together as one.

And the Truth is disappearing fast,
Counting the days, as if it won't last,
"Don't bother me now, I'm having a blast,
What!! The Truth, thats all in the past,"

And man searches for what isn't there,
Alone with his Sin, feeling uncomfortably bare,
And Man says, "I don't," And yet he really does care,
Oh What a Life!!!!

Are you sitting alone, or standing about?
Would you rather stay inside, or rather go out?
Are you at the crossroads of life, and just plain stuck?
Would you rather go this way, or rather go that?
Are you sitting it out, just where you're sat?

You have choices to make, about which way to go,
Down the rivers of life, and where you should row,
Stand up and be counted gainst God's Holy flock,
Through the storms of the tempest, you'll stand as rock

Place your feet on dry land, where you'll make your new home
With God at your side, you are never alone,
So make your direction, and make it with speed,
To the foot of our Lord, It's Him that you need!!

Inspired from the Sainsbury's ad a few years ago

Song

Sing to the Lord
A different song
Make it glorious
And Oh, so long

Add all the harmonies
Of unsung years,
And mix it slightly,
Make it music to his ears,

Add the flavoring
Of our own weak hearts,
Being submissive to His Laws,
Right from the start,

Proclaim all our Guilt
And ask the Lord to come in,
Realizing for once,
The blemished scent, of Sin.

If I was a soldier
On the trodden fields of War
And if I was a Captain
With armoured Troops before
And if I was engulfed
In a trench knee deep in mud
Then my idea of life
Should be well understood
And so a calm contemplation
Comes about me
Sinking in the mud
Bullets flying over me
And I sense to sing a melody
Of timely rhyme and reason
Of a reassuring hope
That is given to all this Season
And as I fight for Life
On the Front Line of War
A life so miserable
As I fight for God, King and Corps
Although I see my comrades
Fight a War such as this
I feel a calm contemplation,
Yes, Eternal bliss,
So from the Front Line
I write a section just for thee
And all I ask is for Peace and Love
And just to remember me.
