House-trained Chickens

If I had the keys to the world
If I could change it how I liked
You can bet your bottom dollar
It would be a different place

First of all I'd make the sky a lovely shade of pink
Exams would be so easy that you wouldn't have to think
Toilets and other household places would always clean themselves
And our morning coffee would be personally delivered
By smiley little elves.

But unfortunately we can't change the fundamental order
However we can make our choices count
Our lives can make a difference if we want them to.

But give me one wish, 'cos that's all I need
And I'd wish to be with you for always

If I had the keys to the world
If I could change it how I liked
You can bet your bottom dollar
It would be a different place

Chocolate would be good for you
As well as all things nice
There'd be no colds or coughs or bugs
Or fleas or tics or lice
Christmas would come twice a year
Without the stress, only good cheer
And everybody would keep chickens as pets
-House-trained chickens.

Unfortunately we can't change the fundamental order
However we can make our choices count
Our lives can make a difference if we want them to.

So why don't we smile at the tramp on the street
Be a bit more polite to the people we meet
Try not to worry about things that don't matter
And brighten the world with the sound of our laughter?

But give me one wish, 'cos that's all I need
And I'd wish to be with you for always.

If I had the keys to the world
If I could change it how I liked
You can bet your bottom dollar
It would be a pinker place.

Christmas Bells

Born in a stable
This King of Glory
Heaven his Kingdom
Suffering his story

Love of the Father
Came in the form of a child
Mighty Redeemer
This King so humble and mild

Just as the Kings and the angels bowed down
Come let us worship our Lord Jesus now

So let the Christmas bells ring out
Christ is King
Let the whole world shout it out X2

Triumphant Saviour
He conquered death with his blood
So we could be his own
And live in the light of his love

So just as the Kings and the angels bowed down
Come let us worship our Lord Jesus now

So let the Christmas bells ring out
Christ is King
Let the whole world shout it out

He is my everything

He is my everything,
Giver of all good things
He is my King of Kings
And I love him X2

What can separate me from his love?
I’m sure that he is faithful and he’ll be with me forever
He’s the song that fills my heart
No matter what life brings
Jesus is my everything

You are my everything
Giver of all good things
You are my King of Kings
And I love you

There is no-one else like Jesus

There is no-one else like Jesus
No-one else could suffer for us
No-one else could feel our pain
Or carry our burdens of grief and shame

Holy God
We thank You for the cross
And the mercy you showed us there
No-one else could love us like you do
So at your feet
We're casting our care

It's a real shame

It's a real shame
That we've made it so complicated
When all that really matters
Is God's love for us all

And it's a real waste
Putting so much of our energy
Into doctrine and controversies
When we could be getting to know the Saviour

So let's get up and walk in the love he's poured into us
Delighting in the grace overshadowing our lives
Shining with his light for all the world to see
Loving with our heart and soul
Giving with our mind and will
And living every day to know Jesus more

Je suis rien sans toi

Je suis rien sans toi
Rien sans toi
Tu es mon tout
Jésus

Tu es mon seul espoir
Tu es le but de ma vie
Personne ne m'aime comme toi
Je t'adore

Wake Up

Wakes up in the morning
Feeling unhappy
Wishing she was someone else
Wishing she were somewhere else

People think she's wonderful
People think she's beautiful
People think she's popular
That she's got it all together

Why do we find it so hard
To look the past the mask of
Self-sufficiency
Hidden beneath plastered white smiles
Little girls
Longing for love

Wakes up in the morning
Feeling kinna lonely
Longing for some happiness
Longing for some kindness

She's crying out
Crying out
For this world to wake up
Wake up.

I'm Running Away

I’m running, running
I’m running, running away
I’m running, running
I’m running, running away X2

You can say what you wanna say
Do you what you wanna do
But I don’t care
I’m running away anyway

My past, it’s never gonna hold me down
You might think I’m a coward
But actually I ran off in faith
So you can

Say what you wanna say
Do what you wanna do
I don’t really care
I’m running away anyway!

Will you take me just as I am

Will you take me just as I am
With all of my pain, all of my fear
All of my stupid mistakes
That I make again and again?
I have nowhere else to turn
I hang on to this one plea
That Jesus, you love me so much
You died for me.

I’m often ashamed by the things that I do
The things that I say, or the things that I don’t
Sometimes I keep trying to make it on my own
Even though I know it’s impossible

So now I’m giving up my struggle
This life will always be too much without you
But in you I know I’ve found the answer
You are my strength because I’m weak

Broken

Broken I come to you
I’m needing your touch on my life
I don’t pretend to be strong
I have nothing to bring, only this

Wounded soul
Of a lost and frightened child
Longing for the hand of a Saviour
To hold me tight and never let me go
Let me hear your tender voice
Speak healing to me now

My rock, my fortress

My rock, my fortress
The One I cling to
When all else fails.
My hope, my deliverer
My strength when I am weak.

You never fail
Jesus you will never leave me

I'm holding on to you
And to the Word you've spoken
You've whispered in my ear
And Lord I hear.
So as I'm clinging on I pray you'd take away my fear
'Cos Jesus you are near
And you'll never let me go.

If the stars ever stopped shining

If the stars ever stopped shining
If the mountains fell into the sea
If this world that I know became nothing
Even then I know you'd carry me

So help to trust when the clouds roll over the sun
When the night-time falls over my life
When questions arise and troubles assail
All I can do is cry out to you, Lord
All I can do is cry out to you
All I can do is cry out
Lord, carry me now.

Revolution

I have only one life to live
I have only one chance to give
Every day that dawns,
Every moment is moving me on
So I hope that here and now
I can touch a life somehow.

I have only one life to live
I have only chance to give

There's a light under every darkened brow
There's a treasure waiting to be found
If the world would only wake up and see
That the revolution begins with you and me.
