The Lord bless and keep you;
May his face shine on you
The Lord be gracious to you;
Turn to you, give you peace
Gather you in His arms
Never let you go
Keep you safe from harm
God be with you

We Don't Need Religion
04:43
|

I see the people down from wall street driving main street in their cars
The party going animals in the back rooms and the bars
Saying we don’t need religion
We don’t need religion
I broke my back like a lumberjack
I was a shipyard man and a shirker
I been a builder building houses and heard
A million Mc Donald’s workers
Saying we don’t need religion
We don’t need religion
We don’t need religion
But we could use the love of God
I’ve got false prophets on my TV,
Telling me the country’s doomed
But if you send me fifty dollars Mister
I’ll be praying for you
We don’t need religion
We don’t need religion
Come all you Preachers and you Pastors,
With your robes of many colors
If I’m Ibrahim with darker skin
Would you love me like your brother
we don’t need religion
We don’t need religion
We don’t need religion
But we could use the love of God
Now is it Saturday or is it Sunday
The fact is I’ve never been sure
There’s a Sabbath in there somewhere
How come nobody tries Yom Kippur
We don’t need religion
We don’t need religion
And while we’re all so busy fighting
Using up God's precious time
There’s a million starving homeless saying
Buddy can you spare a dime
We don’t eat religion
We don’t need religion
We don’t need religion
But we could use the love of God

As For Me and My House
04:33

THERE’S SO MUCH GOING ON
PEOPLE THINK THIS WORLD IS TOO FAR GONE
YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW
SOME ARE LOOKING TO THE EAST AND PRAYING FOR THE WEST
WHAT THEY’RE LOOKING FOR MISTER, IS HOPE I GUESS
YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW…YOU KNOW.
Pre-chorus:
'COS I CAME INTO THIS WORLD WITH NOTHING IN MY HANDS
BUT THIS ROAD OF FAITH AND THE MISTAKES I MADE
ARE MAKING ME A BETTER MAN
Chorus:
AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE
AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE
AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE WE’LL SERVE THE LORD
WELL YOU’ll NEVER HIT GOLD WITH ONE MORE TRY
IF YOU GIVE UP DIGGING WHEN YOUR WELL RUNS DRY
YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW
ANY KIND OF FOOL COULD WALK AWAY
IT TAKES A WHOLE LOTTA STRENGTH TO FIGHT ONE MORE DAY
YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW
SO LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT WHERE I’VE BEEN
I’VE BEEN WEARING MY WORRY LIKE A SECOND SKIN
YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW
WELL I FOUND ME SOME TRUTH ALONG THE WAY
YOU KNOW I NEVER HAD A SINGLE DEBT MY GOD COULDN’T PAY
YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW

Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise Him all creatures here below
Praise Him on high you heavenly hosts
Praise Father Son and Holy Ghost
Chorus
Holy is, holy is, holy is the Lord
Lord of all, over all, holy is the Lord
Praise God when lost with far to go
Praise Him when winds of suffering blow
Unfailing love our God bestows
And welcomes prodigals back home
As all creation longs and waits
For sons of God revealed in praise
Now with one voice your anthems raise
He is the Lord, Ancient Of Days

By Your side
I would stay
In Your arms
I would lay.
Jesus, lover of my soul,
Nothing from You I withhold.
Lord I love You and adore You.
What more can I say?
You cause my love to grow stronger,
With every passing day.

Draw me to your sacred place
Where I see you face to face
I'll be lost in your warm embrace
And be loved and be loved by you
Chorus
I wanna hear Your voice
When You call my name
I wanna hear Your voice
'Cos i'm not ashamed
I wanna run like a child
Into the arms of grace
I am loved I am loved by you
In Your presence I will hide
Where my soul is satisfied
Every good thing You provide
I am loved I am loved by You
refrain:
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
I am loved I am loved by You.

GOD MY HELP IN AGES PAST
LOVER OF MY SOUL
YOU ARE WITH ME EVERYDAY
MY HOPE FOR YEARS TO COME.
BE STILL MY SOUL THE LORD IS GOD
HE IS ALWAYS NEAR IN TIMES OF TROUBLE
BE STILL MY SOUL THE LORD IS GOD
MY EVER PRESENT HELP IN TIMES OF TROUBLE.
WHEN THE STORMS OF LIFE SURROUND
THOUGH MY STRENGTH MAY FADE
WHEN THE DARKNESS RUSHES IN
I WILL NOT BE AFRAID.

Lord you're my foundation
My heart's preoccupation
You're always on my mind
Lord of every nation
Moving through creation
In every space and time
Night and day you lead me
You're always by my side
Chorus
You are my light in the darkness
You are my strength in my weakness
You are my help when I'm helpless
Yes you are
Lord your grace pursues me
Your mercy still renews me
It happens every day
Your Spirit's always near me
My strength when I am weary
You never walk away
Night and day you lead me
I will be satisfied

Breath of Love

|
Breath of love abide in me
Make my heart no more to seethe
And wrapped in mercy’s liberty
I’ll run my race until complete
Chorus
All for Jesus all for Jesus
All I am and have I bring
All for Jesus all for Jesus
All for him the Servant King
Breath of life renew my bones
Help me stand in Christ alone
On far off shores or safe at home
May Jesus' pleasure be my own
Breath of power heal me now
Though I know not why or how
And may your spirit mop my brow
And keep my hands upon the plow
