You called my name
- (Psalm 73.25..... ...Whom have I in heaven
but you and being with you I desire nothing on earth....)
You called my name
I heard and turned my head
Selfish plans & reputations
Foolish dreams and wasted years
But you said...
Iam your Lord, For you my tears were shed
The tune was the breeze of a heavenly song
The music full of peace that drew me on
My heart leapt up and joy was found
For my song is of a friend
Who is special to me
For He called out my name
called out my name
called out my name with a beautiful sound
You called my name
Words that were very clear
I tried to justify my ways
My vision of the past was dead
But you said...
You're my child it can't be the same again
The tune was the breeze of a heavenly song
The music full of peace that drew me on
My heart leapt up and joy was found
For my song is of a friend
Who is special to me
For He called out my name
called out my name
called out my name with a beautiful sound
You called my name
You're voice was straight and true
Speaking of life in you
You said all things would be new
You promised ...
if I die to myself, then you will
live instead....
Chorus.

LOVE
(Rom. 5.5.."God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit" )
Love like the dove that flies to it's young
Love of the mother in Her cradle song
Love that is patient holding on tight
Love that knows my Lord gave me sight
Love is the beginning for the Word is The Alpha
Love is the end for the Lord is the Omega
Love is peace, billowing calm
Love like the water that is still in the storm
Love is the joy that flows over all
Love is the voice of my Father who calls
Love is not silent when wrong is done
Love glows when mercy and grace have won
Love is the truth , is the Spirit & Son
Love is knowing His Kingdom will come
Love is like the beauty of brilliant sunshine
For the children of Cod know the taste of new wine
Love laughs at trials and sweeps away tears
Love is the Faith whereby darknvness is cleared

FAITHFUL
(Psalm 56. 9,11,13)
In God I trust .. I will not be afraid..
I thought the day would never end
I thought that life could be no friend
How wrong I was
How wrong I was
For what is man that he should know
The unknown things that bring me low
He understands
He takes my hand
I found him to be true to me
How faithless and weak not to sec
Jesus knows me
Jesus holds me
Father the skies seem blue and light
Father you cleared away the night
I want to know
Your love once more

RETURN
(Song of Solomon 8.6,7/6.13)
Seal it on my heart
Never let it part
seal it on my arm
Write it as a psalm
I once saw it in the skies
Thought that they were lies
But now I realised
It is my greatest prize Love is strong as death
Its flame is like a fire
Flame that blazes higher
That water cannot quench
CHORUS
Return , Return
I wanna look in your eyes
Return, Return
Love is my sweetest prize
Return my Spirit cries
For Lord how long I sigh

Fighting Clean
((((((Listen to a few
notes from "FIGHTING CLEAN")))))))(REAL PLAYER)
chorus
I cannot hold in all that seemed like a mystery
He opened up my stubborn heart, my, so patiently
His truth secured to sink in, and was so clear
Sprinkled clean in His warm love that took away my fear.
Like an open book to be read
Each line of the clear words He said
Grasping for the good and kicking out sin
That's when His Spirit entered in
He gave me my friends in His family
Told me to be one, said it was His body
To honour each other and serve them in love
I knew from that moment the light of His dove
To keep on moving in His plan the way I would trace
Finding the way, at His pace to see His face
Well, I was a servant and He was the King
What else did I have to proclaim, of whom I could sing?
Darkness was nailed as joy broke the chains
My hope in His strength was all my true gain
As I talked to my Father, I heard His voice say
Shaping and forming your life, to create beauty from
clay.

ALL I ASK IS TO KNOW YOU
All I ask is to know you
Yet my heart so oftvn fails
Of treasures you want to give me
O Jesus you are my friend
You're real
I can feel you
I can almost touch you
How much is my life worth
Can I lay it down the line
Jesus walk with me my Lord
Let me leave the rest behind
All I ask is to love you
But my love is getting cold
Spirit draw me closer to
things worth more than gold
So pure
so dear to me
my eyes can see
(repeat chorus)
All I ask is to serve you
No worthier Lord I own
Jesus though doubts & fears come in
Keep me close to you
My friend
Father thank you
Father lam yours

LORD I LOVE YOU
John 21.15-19
"Yes Lord, You know I love you"
It seems like a dream
Only yesterday,
I spat right in His face
I did'nt really want to be seen
with him in that market place
But He looked at me
the eyes of love
And Oh he made me see
That He'd forgiven me
I felt so full of guilt
But I was dumb with words that I would say
I thought he'd given up on me
When they 'd taken him away
But as we sat by the shore
His touch was full of grace
And he reached out more
Feed my lambs was his embrace
It is so truer that Galilee is not far
From right where we stay
Peter in our lives is pride
That breaks when we obey He still walks by our side
And reaches out His hand
As tear- filled eyes give up the fight
He says he understands

AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART
(Proverbs 31. 10-30)
I cannot say how much you are worth
For to me you are priceless
I may try to forget you but it's the same
For fame & jewels cannot replace your name
God created all that is good
And I love him for he knows
Our need of Him just grows
Our love for him must show She is much more than a lady
For best friends are so few
I trust her not just maybe
I love her it's more than you know
Lord to go on with you
She wants to as I do
Jesus , Lord , We worship you
our lives are being made new
You know how I want to be sure
You know that I must be clear
That your will must be done
Your Son only makes us one
Teach us what to do
Show us what is true
Respect & love , love must be
joined by peace & honesty
To help the poor & the needy
You want us to be ready
O we need a heart, heart of love
Power from your hand above
She is kind and cares
For Spirit your life she shares
And faithfulness in her increase
Let her inner beauty never cease
words & music 1981
