Breathe into my heart, Spirit of God

Breathe into my heart, Spirit of God
Wash away my sin and make me clean
Speak your words of life into my soul
Come take Your rightful place once again

Breathe into this church, Spirit of God
Wash away our sin and make us clean
Speak your words of life into our souls
Come take Your rightful place in our lives

Holy Spirit flood our souls
With Your living water which makes us whole
Holy Spirit flood our land
With Your reviving power

Heal our hearts
Heal our church

O my soul awake for the Lord is near

O my soul awake for the Lord is near
Don’t lose heart, for it’s in His strength we stand
Hold on to the promise He has given
In His name, we will overcome the world

Let us lift our eyes to the Great I Am
Worship our King who is the Morning Star
See the battle is fierce and the road is long
But in Christ our strength we won’t give up

We will worship one day without sin or pain
We’ll praise You with all those that You’ve washed clean
We will lift Your name up here on earth
Singing holy, holy, worthy is the Lamb

Holy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb

Come to Me

Come to Me
All you who're heavy laden
Come to Me
Lay your burden at the cross
Come to Me
And I'll lead you by still waters
Come to Me

For I died to take away your pain
I died to heal you of your shame
I died to make you whole again
Don't stay away any longer
Come to Me

Take me back to the beginning

I'm never above needing Your love
There's never a moment when I don't need You
Lord, keep me humble so I'll never think
I can do this on my own

Lord, there's a battle raging 'round about me
And I am burdened by the trials of life
Take me in your arms and hold me close
'Cos it's only in You that I'm safe

Take me back to the beginning
When I first felt your love for me
Speak Your words of grace into my soul
I'm longing for your mercy

I want to break through

I want to break through
I want to break free
I want to stand on this mountain
And sing of amazing grace

I want to break through
I want to break free
I want to stand on this mountain
And sing of Your love for me

Today I want to break through
Today I want to see the sun
Today I'm not gonna take this anymore
'Cos in Christ I am the head and not the tail

My God is bigger
My God is stronger
He's fought the battle
And He's won

Where we really belong

When we can’t find a prayer
And we’ve cried our last tear
When there seems no way out
From this valley of fear

When we’re left all alone
When there’s nowhere to go
When life knocks us down
Still this one thing I know

He will lead us home
He will keep us safe
His love is the comfort which dries every tear
All that we can see isn’t all that there is
Soon we’ll be where we really belong

On the day we’re called home
We’ll leave all this behind
We’ll have joy for our mourning
And we’ll be at his side
Forever

Jesus, keep me abiding in you

Jesus, keep me abiding in you
Let me hear your words of grace and truth
I want to be your hands and feet
The fragrance of Christ to all I meet

Set my heart aflame for the lost
I want to serve you, no matter the cost
I want to be your salt and your light
A glimmer of hope in the darkness

Jesus let this world see your beauty in me
Jesus I want to reflect your glory

Jesus when I see You

Jesus when I see you
I don't want to ever look away
For Your beauty captures me

But sometimes thoughts crowd in
And doubts and fears and sin
Comes between

So Jesus I pray that You would clear my grey sky
Dispel the clouds of dark and doubt and sin
So many things would try to turn my gaze away
But I know you won't let go and I am so in love with You

I won't give up on love (capo 5)

You might think I'm a crazy optimist
Who's head is in the clouds
You might think I'm a dreamer,
My head full of romance

But in my heart I'm holding on and hoping for the day
When you'll take my hand
When you'll take my hand in yours

Many people give up on love
It's bruised their hearts too many times
But I still believe that through the pain
Love can heal, love will shine

I won't give up on love
No, I won't give up on love
As long as the stars still shine above
I won't give up on love.

In my heart I'm holding on and hoping for the day
When you'll take my hand
When you'll take my hand in yours

I won't give up on love
No, I won't give up on love
As long as the stars still shine above
I won't give up on love.

Praying like David

(Cappo 2nd fret= play in Em)

Today it feels like there's an empty heaven
My words go up and fall back down
I don't even have the strength to face today
So I'm trying to find You
Won't You find me please?

Some days I feel like I've lost my way
I fall down and can't get up
The weight of this life, it gets too much
Where are You when I call out?
Where are You when I call out?

Some how I know I've just got to trust You
Even when I can't see
Help me to never doubt Your goodness
Save me, come and save me.

I want to know You more

Lord, I'm so hungry for You
I've sung this song before
But this time I need You
More than ever

I want to know You more
I want to know You more
I want to know You more
It's only You I adore

Lord, hear the cry of my heart
This heart that's been seered by Your love
Come and fill me once again
With Your Spirit

I want to know You more
I want to know You more
I want to know You more
It's only You I adore.

My Sweet Hope

The rain is falling, the sky is grey
The lights are fading, it's the end of the day
The mountains seem bigger
The cold wind is harsher
And I can't find your smile anywhere

I'm looking for you in streets where I walk
Endlessly searching, relentlessy following
The sound of your footsteps
The trails that you leave
You're scattering trails of petals for me

So I won't stop searching for you, my sweet hope
Though your whisper's so faint, it's like I've never heard it
Still I can't deny the impression you've left on my heart
I'm irrestibily drawn to chasing your shadows
And I won't stop now til I've found you.

I Need to Find some Peace (The Rock)

I've fought the same old battles and waved the same old flags
The truth is, I'm tired of being weary
I've lived too much of my life inside my own head
So now I'm giving up and crying out to You

I need to find some peace
In this world of confusion, you will always be the Rock
So I cling to you
And I pray that you will save me
From the raging storm within
I need You more than anything besides

So many people running to other people, other things
But I've tried it, and they don't bring release
Timeless and Unchanging, Your arms of love eternal
Are all that can comfort me now

Message of Love

It’s amazing but it’s true
That He came for me and you
God sent His son to us
To die upon a cross
What love He has shown
To make us all His own
To save us from our sin
And give us life eternal

This is our message of love
That God sent His Son from above
To bring us back to the Father’s heart
And lead us home
This is our message of love
That God sent His Son from above
To bring us back to the Father’s heart
And lead us home
Lead us home

It’s amazing but it’s true
That whatever we may do
He will never leave our side
Even if we try to hide
He will never let us go
He will welcome us back Home
And with His loving hand
Rescue the wandering lamb


God so loved the world
That He gave His only Son
That whosoever believes
Shall not perish!

This is Me

So many people demanding a different part of me
So many things to do which take my time and energy
Faced with choices and decisions, not knowing where to turn
Sometimes all I want to do is run

Taking time to catch my breath
I'm slowing down now, and wondering
Why I forgot to check with my heart
Before I took life onto my shoulders

Maybe I'm young, but at least I've got time
To learn that everything's gonna be fine
I don't need to be someone that I'm not
The world needs real people, so I'm giving it all I've got

This is me, this is who I am
This is me
I can't be someone I'm not
This is me, this is who I am
I can't be someone I'm not
So I'm giving all I've got.

Cover, cover me

Lord I come running to you
Can you shelter me now
From the waves of this storm?

Lord I am weak
But I know you are strong
Cover, cover me

Enfold me in your love
For it's here that I am free
I'm safe in your presence forever
Cover, cover me.

Raymond, Raymond, Raymond.

Je vais faire du soleil

I don't want to be

I don't want to be anyone else but me
I don't want to be anywhere else but here
Where you are
Leading me to a better light

I just want to run into your loving arms
Hold me tight
Then I know I'm safe
Cos you are the light that guides my way

Every day is full of uncertainty
But there's joy in the morning
Cos you're there with me
And although sometimes it's hard to smile
You make the road worthwhile

The Wish

My wish is small and white and bright
Shines like a thousand stars at night
It's lovelier than any other sight
But I hold it so dear, I won't let you see it

Hold out your hand to me
Tell me you want to see it
But say that you won't steal it away
And maybe I'll say yes
But only if you promise

I don't like to wear my heart on my sleeve
But I can't help emotion
It's part of me
Can't you see
The wish that I hold
Will you help me follow my heart?
Will you help me follow my heart?

You can look but don't touch
'Cos sometimes it's too much
When you fuss and you meddle
With the bike that I peddle.

But please don't stay away
Don't be scared
Of the things that I say

It's all just expression
There's no meaning really
But there is just one thing
I do want to say

Once I wished upon a star
Wishes come true
I know they do.

I don't like to wear my heart on my sleeve
But I can't help emotion
It's part of me
Can't you see
The wish that I hold
Will you help me follow my heart?
Will you help me follow my heart?

Lord God our Father

Lord God our Father
Come hear your childrens' prayer
Your people are waiting
For your spirit's moving

Jesus
Come and heal us
Come and free us
Set us free

Since before I was born you knew me

Since before I was born you knew me
Every day of my life was marked out in your plan
When I came into this world you were already holding me
And still today
You carry me

Every moment is a chance to be closer
To the one who longs to walk with me each step of the way
And when the road seems rough that’s when I can trust you
‘Cos tomorrow, like today
You’ll still be carrying me

What love is this that calls me by my name?
What grace is this that takes away my shame?
So amazing is your mercy
You give me strength each day
Your eyes of love resting on me
To show me favour and your everlasting care.

Beautiful Dungeon

I was a princess locked up in a tower
The nights were long and darkness was my friend
There weren't any windows and I couldn't really breathe
But it was all I knew

Something inside me was stirring and yearning
I didn't know why I felt that way
I thought I was safe and had everything
But I couldn't wait for a glimpse of the day

No evil fiend could frighten me there
Three meals a day and familiar surroundings
I thought I was safe and had everything
But I couldn't wait for a glimpse of the day

Then I saw it through the hole you made
When you tore the bricks away
The light came flooding in and I saw the day

You came, my Prince on a stallion
You came and you rode right in
You found me there and you showed me the way
From my beautiful dungeon
Into uncertainty-
But you set me free
You set me free to be me.

Sonnet for a Friend

When you want to run but you can only crawl
When it's pulling you down and you're about to fall
But you're holding on for dear life
You're kind of stuck there

I see the pain in your eyes
I hear the sadness in your sighs
And when you look out the window
You're looking for something
But you don't know what

My friend, get out of your seat
My friend, my dear, take a leap
I know you think it's dark down there
But I'd love to see you fly

If you tried, you'd know why.
