Family fun, wanted to capture a timeless moment with my children. I could not get my wife to sing no matter how hard I tried!!

He's Got The Whole World In His Hands (Family Rendition)

I wrote this song back around 1992. At that time I heard of a book called "My Dear Child" by Colin Urquhart. It was written as though God himself was speaking to you. It impacted my life and shaped this song which was also based on my experience being single. The following link is my performance of this song at an Elim Bible Conference youth song contest at that time. I didn't win! I find it very cringey watching it but it is a reference to where the song began and how it differs from my recorded.

Verse 1
When you feel, disappointment clouds your heart,
And you feel so crushed and bruised within.
And you look so desperately for the answer,
And you cry out O Lord where can you be.

Verse 2
And you look and keep on trying to fill your heart,
Hoping that someone can fill that place.
To hold you tenderly in that painful place,
But that hope seems to be so far away.

CHORUS
I AM The Lord My Child and I know that broken heart inside
Let my love, just flow through you now.
For I AM gentle with you, I sent my son to die for you
Can't you see, the love, I have shown?
Don't allow doubt to take away that which, I've said today
Do not fear, for your future is in my hand,
Do not fear, put your trust in me, do not fear.

Verse 3
But you keep on trying to find, your own way,
Going round and round in circles, day by day.
And fear has gripped your heart, so many times,
Don't you know my love, casts out all fear.

Chorus...

I AM The Lord My Child - (Original Song 1992)

I wrote this song during 2022 when we were looking to rent somewhere. Having been given notice to leave after 7 years due to landlord selling up we found it impossible to rent anywhere despite applying for many houses. Turns out owning a cockerpoo dog puts landlords off and don't get me started about agencies! I thought we were going to be made homeless, seriously! Even my local MP couldnt help. No one could. During this time of much prayer, fasting and prayer support from my church all I could do was trust the Lord for his provision. It was not easy however this song became a great comfort and reminded me to keep trusting Jesus for his provision when fear gripped me most. Well 7 months later we were offered a house to rent and it turns out to be the best house we looked at in terms of affordability and spaceiousness. We shortlisted over 30 houses during this time. Most of my very specific house needs were answered! God is good.

Isaiah 43:19

Trusting You (Original Song 2022)

This song came about from my early days of street evangelism. Based on Psalm 61.

Verse 1
The Spirit of the Lord God - Almighty
Is upon me to go and tell.
Because the sovereign Lord God - Almighty
Has anointed me to - preach good news.
To bring good news to the poor - and afflicted ones
Binding their broken hearts - with his love.
Proclaiming freedom - to the captives
And release from darkness those who are bound.

CHORUS
Proclaiming beauty for ashes - the oil of joy for their pain.
For the spirit of heaviness - will be restored with praise.

Verse 2
Let's exalt the name of our Lord God - Almighty
Who was, who is, who shall be - the one to come.
With one voice let's join together - in proclaiming
The mercy of our Lord - Jesus Christ.
You see Jesus Christ was crucified - at Calvary
He paid the price for sin - once for all.
All who call upon His name - shall be saved
For there's no other way for Eternal Life.

END CHORUS
The Lord says beauty for ashes - I'll give you joy for your pain.
I'll remove the spirit of heaviness - and give you a garment of praise.
Yes I'll give you a garment of praise.

We were wand'ring in the desert,
with our souls so starved and weak
We were hungry for a homeland,
we did not know how to seek
But we lifted up our voices,
to the only One who hears
And the God of mercy came and brought us near.

We were locked out of the garden, 
and our backs bent down with pain
In the shadow of death's darkness, 
we were slaves to sin and blame
Then we cried out in our labor,
to the only One who hears
And the God of mercy wiped away our tears.

Oh give thanks to the LORD 
for His love endures forever!
We were wandering and lost, 
and our Father brought us home
To a safe dwelling place, 
to a feast of joy and laughter
Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!

We were fools in our rebellion, 
with our hunger strike of pride
We were sick and growing closer,
to the death we should have died
Then he heard of our condition, 
and he called us by our names
And the God of glory took away our shame.

Oh give thanks to the LORD,
for His love endures forever!
We were wandering and lost,
and our Father brought us home
To a safe dwelling place, 
to a feast of joy and laughter
Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!

We were far out on the ocean, 
making wealth and chasing dreams
But the waves of great destruction,
brought us tremb'ling to our knees
Then we cried like drunken sailors,
to the only One who hears
And the God of comfort took away our tears.

Oh give thanks to the LORD,
for His love endures forever!
We were wandering and lost,
and our Father brought us home
To a safe dwelling place, 
to a feast of joy and laughter
Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!

Oh give thanks to the LORD,
for His love endures forever!
We were wandering and lost,
and our Father brought us home
To a safe dwelling place, 
to a feast of joy and laughter
Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!

Great Is Your Faithfulness (Unchanging) - F(3D) - Chris Tomlin 2002

Who can know the mind of our creator?
Who can speak of wonders yet unseen?
Who can reach the height of understanding?
To play the notes of Wisdom's melody?

Who has weighed the dust of every mountain?
Who has walked the mysteries of the deep?
Who has laid the earth on its foundation?
And who conducts the waves upon the sea?

I stand in awe of You
I stand in awe of You
So glorious and true
I stand in awe
I stand in awe

You have seen the end from the beginning
You have been before the world began
You have reached to me within my darkness
And in the light of mercy now I see

I stand in awe of You
I stand in awe of You
So glorious and true
I stand in awe
I stand in awe

I stand in awe of You
I stand in awe of You
So glorious and true
I stand in awe
I stand in awe

Verse 1
Our eyes have seen the wondrous cross
That towers over time.
Vast as the ocean grace and love
Amazing so divine.
Oh this is our story
And this our hymn of praise.
Through all generations
The song remains the same.

CHORUS
To the One who has loved us
Loved us and freed us
To You belongs the praise
Through everlasting days we’ll sing.
To the One who is worthy
Of honour and glory
To You belongs the praise
To You belongs the hymn of the ages.

Verse 2
The King of love our Shepherd is
Our shelter from the storm.
A mighty fortress is His Name
And our eternal home.
To God be the glory
How great the things He’s done.
With all generations
We join the joyful song.

Bridge
A thousand tongues are not enough
But we don’t sing alone.
Oh how the starry anthem drowns
All music but it’s own.

And when I think of what you've done,

And when I think of what's to come,

Face to face, with my magificent obsession
Forever, forever I will be with you.

Oh Oh , la la la la la la la la

Verse 1:
Since you walked out of that door
I've been broken and all alone
My heart's been crying out your name
Patiently waiting, you'll feel the same

Verse 2:
I'm understanding more each day
Why you left, so full of pain
I broke your spirit, I broke your soul
You felt unloved, you had to go

CHORUS
But you are beautiful to me
You light up my life with joy and peace
I cherish your love and company
Wo oh o my darling come home, back to me.

Verse 3:
We fought for years, I'm to blame
I did not love well, all the same
I criticized you and pulled you down
Instead of dealing with my pain

Verse 4:
But I will fight for you my love
Whatever it takes, I'll rise above
At our wedding, I said I do
And by His grace I'll see it through

CHORUS
You are beautiful to me
You light up my life with joy and peace
I cherish your love and company
Wo oh o my darling come home, back to me.

CHORUS 2
Your soul is beautiful to me
It lights up my life with grace and peace
I cherish your love and company
Wo oh o my darling come home, back to me.
