Love the Lord your God, with all of your mind,

In every battle he’ll be there from the start.
For he is God and he is good,
And he reigns over all,
Unending love, amazing power,
Yet he answers our call.
Love the Lord your God, with all of your soul,
With all of your strength, heart and mind,
For the Lord your God teaches justice, fairness, truth,
And compassion for all humankind.
For he is God…
Love the Lord your God, with all of your strength,
With all of your heart, mind and soul,
For the Lord your God sends His Spirit as a guide,
To show the way that your life can be whole.
For he is God…
Love the Lord your God, with all of your heart,
With all of your mind, soul and strength,
For the Lord your God longs for you to know His grace,
His awesome gift of eternal life,
For he is God…

You love me, You care
You say You'll always be there
Though the valleys are getting so deep
You never falter, You never sleep
My saviour, my friend
By loving You there is no end
You'll keep me walking through good and bad
You always tell me, You always tell me...
I've lost You, can't see You
I can't keep going on like this
Inside me, I'm empty
I can't keep going on like this
I'm desperate, I'm messed up
I can't keep going on
You always tell me
You always tell me
You love me, You care
You say You'll always be there
Though the valleys are getting so deep
You never falter, You never sleep
My saviour, my friend
By loving You there is no end
You'll keep me walking through good and bad
You always tell me, You always tell me...
I've lost You, can't see You
I can't keep going on like this
Inside me, I'm empty
I can't keep going on like this
I'm desperate, I'm messed up
I can't keep going on like this
If this is, to teach me
I can't keep going on like this
I though that, You loved me
I can't keep going on like this
You promised, to save me
I can't keep going on like this
It's too much, No more
I can't keep going on like this
But I don't have to 'coz I know
You love me, You care
You say You'll always be there
Though the valleys are getting so deep
You never falter, You never sleep
My saviour, my friend
By loving You there is no end
You'll keep me walking through good and bad
You love me, You care

I tell you not to worry about your life. Don't worry about having something to eat, drink or wear. Isn't life more than food or clothing? Look at the birds in the sky! They don't plant or harvest. They don't even store grain or harvest. Yet your Father in heaven takes care of them. Aren't you worth more than birds?
Can worry make you live longer? Why worry about clothes? Look how the wild flowers grow. They don't work hard to make their clothes. But I tell you that Solomon with all his wealth wasn't as well clothed as one of them.
God gives such beauty to everything that grows in the fields, even though it is here today and thrown into a fire tomorrow. he will surely do even more for you! Why do you have such little faith?
Don't worry and ask yourselves, 'Will we have anything to eat? Will we have anything to drink? Will we have any clothes to wear?' Only people who don't know God are always worry about such things. Your Father in heaven knows that you need all these. But more than anything else, put God's work first and do what he wants. Then the other things will be yours as well.
Don't worry about tomorrow. It will take care of itself. You have enough to worry about today.

Have you ever tried to write a song
And not known where to start?
Have you ever felt your thoughts and words
Are really poles apart?
Have you ever been distracted
From the things you meant to say?
Have you ever started speaking
But the world got in the way?
And now you want to scream out loud
The words so hard to find
To calm the tempest in your heart
The twister in your mind
When the words don't seem to come
When you can't express the way you feel
When the closer you get, the longer it takes
To make the song seem real
Have you ever wished you didn't need
To say the words out loud
Have you ever sat in silence
In the middle of a crowd
Have you ever wanted to explain
The mess that's in your head
Have you ever looked to someone else
To speak your words instead
And now you want to scream out loud
The words so hard to find
To calm the tempest in your heart
The twister in your mind
When the words don't seem to come
When you can't express the way you feel
When the closer you get, the longer it takes
To make the song seem real
Have you ever felt your heart would burst
But not known what to say?
Have you ever sought elusive words
That won't come out to play?
Have you ever spoken heart and mind
For it to come out wrong?
Have you ever fought for words
When you tried to write a song?
And now you want to scream out loud
The words so hard to find
To calm the tempest in your heart
The twister in your mind
When the words don't seem to come
When you can't express the way you feel
When the closer you get, the longer it takes
To make the song seem real
Have you ever tried to write a song
And not known where to start?

Jesus is my lighthouse
he shines His lamp out bright
he warns me of the rocky cliffs
And guides me through the night
hey hey lighthouse
hey hey lighthouse
hey hey lighthouse
he shines His light out bright
Jesus is my lighthouse
he keeps me safe from harm
he leads me through the stormy waves
And out towards the calm
hey hey lighthouse
hey hey lighthouse
hey hey lighthouse
he keeps me safe from harm
Jesus is my lighthouse
And I can be one too
So I can tell my friends about
His love for me and you
I'm a lighthouse
I'm a lighthouse
I'm a lighthouse
And you can be one too!

always wanting more
than i had before
forever with you (is never enough)
all i need you give
so that i can live
forever with you
it's all for you
it's all for you
Father tell me why
your son had to die
keep it simple (so i understand)
maybe then i'll see
what is good for me
if i just let go
it's all for you
it's all for you
i know there's a part
missing from my heart
that can only be (filled with your love)
send your holy grace
to fill up that place
it's all for you (loving you Lord)
it's all for you
now i know you give
i know i can live
forever with you (you make me complete)
grace without an end
so that i can spend
forever with you
it's all for you (loving you Lord)
it's all for you

You are blessed by God
Above all others
What an honour this is
That the mother of my Lord should visit
When you came in and greeted me
My baby jumped for joy
The instant I heard your voice
(You are blessed you are blessed)
(You are blessed you are blessed)
Because you believed
(You are blessed you are blessed)
(You are blessed you are blessed)
Because you believed
Oh, how I praise the Lord,
How I praise the Lord
I rejoice in God my saviour
For He, the mighty one
The holy one
Has done great things for me
For the Lord took notice
Of his lowly servant girl
And now age to age will call me blessed
He scatters the proud
And the lowly He's exalted
He has taken princes from their thrones
His mighty arm
Does great things
His mercy goes on to all who fear Him
Oh, how I praise the Lord,
How I praise the Lord
I rejoice in God my saviour
For He, the mighty one
The holy one
Has done great things for me
He promised our fathers
To be merciful forever
He has satisfied the hungry with good things
The rich leave empty-handed
But He helps His servant Israel
He will not forget His promise to the end
His mighty arm
Does great things
His mercy goes on to all who fear Him
Oh, how I praise the Lord,
How I praise the Lord
I rejoice in God my saviour
For He, the mighty one
The holy one
Has done great things for me
Oh, how I praise the Lord,
How I praise the Lord
I rejoice in God my saviour
For He, the mighty one
The holy one
Has done great things for me
Has done great things for me
Has done great things for me

Bumblebees and butterflies
Clouds that roll across the skies
Hot chocolate with cream on top
Falling snow that doesn't stop
Thunder, lightning, rainbows, rain
The stars at night, the human brain
Splashing puddles just for fun
The rising and the setting sun
Baby meerkats in a heap
Orangutans when they're asleep
Tree frogs in bromeliads
Lines in songs which just don't rhyme
Fresh cut grass and sprinkly sand
Things we just don't understand
Dandelion clocks in spring
Music and a voice to sing
Candles flickering in the dark
A children's playground in the park
Wind farms making wind all day
Waterfalls and bales of hay
Snails and sails and old windmills
Benches on the top of hills
Waves upon a rocky shore
Bright blue front door
Big jumpers and a roaring fire
Songs sung by a children's choir
Hope and dreams and life and love
The world laid out from high above
Mirrors that distort and bend
Talk of nothing with a friend
Well told tales, made up or true
All these things that come from you
Stop!
Take a look
Breathe it in
And see the ordinary miracles.
