My Sister's Songs

Okay so some of you know that my sister and I are attending a worship summit in November and we have committed to write five songs apiece. As I labor on my third she is up to about six. Yeah, nice right? I simply say she has the gift of songwriting and God just gives me a song now and then as a gift. I am so excited by her focus and productivity. They are all REALLY GOOD as well. Just thought I would put up a few of them so you can enjoy at least the words. Sometime if she ever records them I will add the youtube link. Please note all lyrics are copyrighted. thank you!

YOUR LOVE IS AMAZING!

                                               Open up my eyes, peer through the darkness

Knew it was gonna be just one of those days

I'd rather pull the covers back over my head, and just hide away

But then I hear You still small voice saying,

“Come and seek me first, we could have such a good day!”

Chorus:

And now the sun is shining I feel its warmth on me

I feel my spirits rising, Your love has set me free

Here in this quiet moment, when I can be with You

I'm here to tell you that Your love is Amazing!!!

Halfway through my day and I'm so tired

feels like the weight of the world on my shoulders

somehow I've got to find the will to carry on and push through it all

but then I hear Your still small voice saying

“come and be with me” and I'm reminded that this is Your day

Your day to rejoice in!

Chorus

And now the day is gone and night has come, the darkness is falling

but You have shown Your light into my night and I've nothing to fear

as I hear Your still small voice saying “Come and rest in me”

I lay my head down on a pillow of grace

PRAISE HIM!

(this one is mostly snippets of psalms)

Chorus:

Everybody come, everybody come!

everybody sing, everybody sing!

Everybody come and lift up His Holy Name

everybody come, everybody come!

everybody sing, everybody sing!

Everybody lift up His Holy Name

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil, for You are with me

though I'm tossed in the waves of this ocean life, I'll let the stormwinds blow! Still You are with me

Chorus

In the night watch You are my rock, my strength, my fotress and my mighty tower, and You are worthy

and if my heart and flesh may fail Your strength remains, my lips will always sing Your praise 'cause

You are worthy!

Chorus

bring an offering of thanks to the Lord our God for He is good and His mercy endures forever

for the Lord is great and greatly to be praised, in the beauty of His Holiness. . . that endures forever

Chorus

The Earth is the Lord's and all it's fullness, the world and those who dwell therein, Praise Him.

And if we do not stand and lift Him high, even the rocks will cry, Somebody Praise Him!

Chorus

 

ONLY JOY

Never thought I'd find myself here like this

I can only wonder at Your holiness

There could be so many questions but it's not my story to write

I'd rather trust in You

Bridge: And You will be my comfort and I will rejoice

I have found Your will for me and it gives me pleasure

to worship You in all You do, is why I'm here

in this place of pure surrender I find peace

as I stand in awe of You

Bridge: and You will be my comfort and I will rejoice

Chorus: I won't be afraid to see You my God

I won't be afraid to fall into Your arms

to hear You say my name, calm my fears, no more tears

only joy, only joy!

when my days upon this weary earth are spent

I am but a vapor gone in a moment

You were the source of every good thing in my life

now I give it back to You

Bridge: and You will be my comfort and I will rejoice

Chorus: I won't be afraid to see You my God

I won't be afraid to fall into Your arms

to hear You say my name, calm my fears, no more tears

only joy, only joy

only joy, only joy!
