LYRICS:

Oh Dark Night!
This anxious love aflamed
Oh Happy Lot!
Unobserved I went
Oh Dark Night!
My house is now
Is now at rest

Oh Dark Night!
In darkness I am safe
Oh Happy Lot!
I am now disguised
Oh Dark Night!
On secret steps
I'm now at rest

Chorus 1

Oh Dark Night!
In that secret place
Oh Dark Night!
In that happy night
Oh Dark Night!
I was seen by no one
I had no guide

Oh Dark Night!
It was just my heart
Oh Dark Night!
It was burning bright
Oh Dark Night!
It was all Your light
That was my guide

Verse 2

Oh Happy Night!
You were leading me
Oh Happy Lot!
To the place You see
Oh Happy Night!
You were there for me
Just waiting

Oh Dark Night!
You were kept for me
Oh Happy Lot!
You were lovelier than
Oh Happy Night!
The morning dawn
How I cherished You
My Dark Night!

Chorus 2

In all of this beauty
My Dark Night!
How You filled me
My Dark Night!
Sensations left me
They left me

My Dark Night!
I was lost in love
My Dark Night!
All my cares now gone
My Dark Night!
I was resting in
What I forgot
Oh Dark Night!

This house is still
Oh Happy Night!
This house is still
Oh Happy Night!
My house is still
Oh Dark Night!

Inspired by the poem "The Dark Night of the Soul" by St John Of The Cross

Oh Dark Night

LYRICS:

On the edge of Jericho, the sun was blazing hot
A blind man sat there waiting, just stuck to his own spot
He felt a frenzy rising and whispering all around

Chorus 1

"What’s happening? Tell me, what's the scene?"
"It's Jesus the Nazarene!"
The blind man cried out desperately
"It's Jesus, help me, please!"

Verse 2

The crowd tried to hush him, but he shouted "Have mercy, please!"
His voice cut through the chaos, calling most urgently
Jesus stopped and told them, "Bring him here to me,"
"What do you want, my child?" 
"I want to be set free"

Chorus 2

Jesus, Son of God
Have mercy now on me
Jesus, Son of God
I want to be set free

Jesus, Son of God
Have mercy please on me
Jesus, Son of God
I finally want to see

Outro

"Go ahead and see
Your faith has set you free..."

Be Set Free

LYRICS:

This baby in the cradle
A miracle called You
I never thought I'd feel this way
A Love so pure and true

Don't be afraid to be amazing 
Don't be afraid to be you
There's still so much to be exploring
And so much more to do

Your eyes light up like sunrise
Your smile, it makes me sing
Your laughter helps me see the world 
You're my favorite thing

You can change as often as you like
And say whatever comes to mind
You can mess up every day
Still the apple of my eye

Don't be afraid to be amazing 
Don't be afraid to be you 
There's still so much to be exploring
And so much more to do

You're amazing everyday
We're loving you all the way 
You're amazing everyday
I'm loving you all the way 
You're amazing everyday

Don't Be Afraid To Be Amazing

LYRICS:

I've only questions, no honest answers
I know it isn't fair to you
You want clarity, I've nothing to say to you
But strange, I'm happier with you

Chorus 1

You tried to save our light
By wanting still to have this fight
You'll never know what’s on my mind
I never could escape
In fact it's you who'd go away
Just trying to save our love this time

Verse 2

Why do I have no answers, when you have just more questions
Caught in this endless loop with you
If I should say goodbye, if I should pack and leave this time
Yet my heart won't follow through

Chorus 2

Stay with me, you say
You'll never be the same again
You say this time that you'd be you
I promise as of now
I'm here to stay and see it through
I know my life's complete with you

Verse 3

It's a mystery
Don't know how this love came to be
I guess I've always needed you
Sorry I have no answers
It must hurt to hear these words
I've nothing more to say to you

Chorus 3

You ask me where I've been
Why did I run away from you
Yet I'll forsake it all for you
It's always you, it's always you
You know I’m happier with you

Outro

It's always you, it's always you
You know I’m happier with you

LYRICS:

Where’s your life going, tell me?
Dreams that once were bright, they’re fading
So tell me, where’s your life heading?
The path that you’re walking
Is it meant to be?

You used to speak of dreams with fire
I see you drifting, what’s the matter?
The spark that once was there is now a distant glow
You’re a distant glow

Chorus

So tell me, tell me, where’re you going?
I need to know, I need to know
So tell me, tell me, where’s the fire?
Once in your soul, once in your soul

There was a light once in your soul
There was a fire in your soul
There was a light once in your soul
There was a fire in your soul

Verse

Where’s your path leading, tell me?
I see the questions in your eyes, no pretending
You’re searching for the Truth, for something that’s real
Wondering if life is more than what you feel?

Tell me where’s your life heading?
I hope you find the peace that you are searching
A place where all your dreams can grow and thrive
So that the light in you can shine

Chorus

Where’re you going?
I need to know, I need to know
So tell me, tell me, where’s the fire
Once in your soul, once in your soul?

Tell me, tell me, where’re you heading?
I need to know, I need to know
So tell me, tell me, where’s the fire
Once in your soul, once in your soul?

Outro

There was a light once in your soul
There was a fire in your soul
There was a light once in your soul
There was a fire in your soul

In your soul, there’s a fire
In your soul, there’s a light
In your soul, there’s a fire
In your soul, there’s a light

There’s fire in my soul
There’s fire in your soul
There’s a light in my soul
There’s a light in your soul

Where're You Going?

LYRICS:

You're blue like sky
You're red like sunrise
You're yellow
Like flowers in July

You're gray like snow
You're white like ice lights
You're black like
The midnight of your eyes

CHORUS

Oh, what can you say to me?
Oh, what can you do to me?
Oh I've seen everything
Yet I love you my baby

Oh, what can you say to me?
Oh, what can you do to me?
I've seen everything
Yet I love you my baby

VERSE 2

You're green like spring
You're violet like iris
You're orange
Like falling autumn leaves

You're teal like sea
Golden like morning
You're indigo
Like blue jays flying

CHORUS

Oh, what can you say to me?
Oh, what can you do to me?
I've seen everything
Yet I love you my baby

Oh, what can you say to me?
Oh, what can you do to me?
I've seen everything
Yet I love you my baby

Dedicated to my children

You're My Rainbow

LYRICS:

Why should I feel discouraged?
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for heaven and home?

When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches over me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me over me

I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
Oh His eye is on the sparrow
The sparrow
And I know He watches me over me 

His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches over me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches over me

HIs Eye Is On the Sparrow
