Walking on the street side one evening
The night feels so right, lights are gleaming
You want the clouds to carry you home 

Hearing the trees blowing in the breeze
Keep real quiet, hear a butterfly sneeze
The wind's symphony will carry you home

And then you hear the wind rising
Voices of people running on the track
You get a new melody
Your heart leaps and sets you free
And oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 
You've fallen on your back 

And you wonder how, you wonder why 
You've dreams so full they touch the sky
When you're stuck in this muscle ache mortality

Why do we even begin
To yearn for more than the times we're living in 

Lying on your bed one evening 
It feels so right, lights are gleaming 
At least when you have no place to roam
You still have a mobile phone

I'mmobile

I see a lump of sugar 
Right outside my door 
How long has it been there, I wonder
Two hours and a little more? 

What is this fair creature 
That makes my heart go pit a pat 
Why, it could only, only be 
The neighbourhood cat!

So goodbye, fair creature 
I bid you goodbye
You’ve given me paws for reflection
To stare at the sky

As I continue on my way
Would you bid me good day? 


My Neighbourhood Cat

I look up and I see the skies above
The colours of Your hair
Wrapping us in love
I step upon the carpet of Your grass
And I'm wondering if it's too much to ask 

For the fingerprints I see 
Stamped on this world so wide
To be the same ones I leave behind 
To be the same ones I leave behind 

And oh -- that beauty that I see
Oh -- won't you pour them into me? 
Some days I look without 
And I only see a boomerang of doubt
That the love inside of me
Could never match the beauty that I see 

I look up, see the colours of Your hair 
Walk upon Your carpet of the grass
You let me ride on Your toes
Ride upon Your shoulders

Though I am getting older, 
You say "don't worry" 
(You) take each fall and folly
Make a pattern on Your shirt
And You say, You say, 
It's a thing of beauty 

Beauty

1st Samuel 30: 8 
And David enquired at the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.

DON'T GET STUCK AT ZIKLAG 

Doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo

I was taking this road (doo doo doo doo)
Thinking it’s the one for me 
But someone cut in my path (doo doo doo doo) 
Between me and my destiny

Now O, where do I go? 
There’s nothing more that I know
I’ve gone too far to turn back 
But I hear a voice that tells me, “Stay on track!” 

He says,
“Don’t get stuck at Ziklag,
Life isn’t a straight line
But a zig zag,” 

“Don’t get stuck at Ziklag, 
Let me change your heart, 
Your walk, and how you act,” 

This isn’t the place for me, you might think
You may not like the way it looks - it could even stink! 
But on the way to your promise 
This is guaranteed
He’s giving you a new ID 

So walk in your identity -- 

And don’t get stuck at Ziklag (doo doo, doo doo)
Don’t get stuck at Ziklag (doo doo, doo doo) 
Don’t get stuck at Ziklag (doo doo, doo doo)
Life is about that journey with Dad

Don't Get Stuck At Ziglag

Come Follow Me

How can I begin this song of praise 
For all You’ve done for me in 365 days 
It’s been a highlight reel with its share of pain  
But through it all I now know You know my name 

You have given me something to shout about 
You have given me reason to sing aloud 
You have given me something to shout about 
something to shout about 
Every day of the year 

You’re the God who fills in the gaps
You know my name, know exactly where I’m at 
When I fell you came along and You picked me up 
Poured streams of living water into my empty cup 

When I wasn’t sure of who I was and what to do 
You made a way for me as I followed You 
Everything that You promised, You followed through 
You took all that was broken 
And made it brand new 

Why you gotta be so low-key? 
Why can’t you reveal your mysteries? 
Why you gotta be so low-key 
When you whisper in the dark 
Help me believe 

When I trust in You, You give me a new ID 
You say that I’m your child
And You’re my Abba Daddy* 
In this world of our aching and our groans
we’re not yet truly home 
But when You walk with us we never walk alone 

Now I know that You’re always working in the background 
You take a disaster and turn it right around (turn it right around) 
I know You can turn my shadows into song 
You can take what’s dead and bring it back to life 
Breaking through the night 

You have given me something to shout about 
You have given me reason to sing aloud 
You have given me something tonsjoif about 
Your name I’ll sing out loud 
Every day of the year


*"Abba" is Aramaic word for father, used by Jesus and Paul to address God in a relation of personal intimacy.

Galatians 4: 4 - 7
But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.

Something to Shout About

Oh--
You have taken my ordinary life
And You have turned my water into wine
Cause Jesus it's just You
Yeah only You could do this 

(Oh--) 
You have turned my dead dreams back to life
And You have made it all perfect in Your time
Cause Jesus it's just You
Yeah only You could do this 

And You have made
Everything beautiful 
You have made
Everything beautiful
You have made 
Everything beautiful 
In time 
It's so beautiful in time 

(Rap)
You’ve turned my ashes into beauty
You've turned my shame into glory
The tears in Your bottle are no
Surprise to You
You’ve turned them into 
Dancing shoes (into dancing shoes, yeah into dancing shoes)

And all the pages of my book 
I thought were wasted
Now are sweet as honey 
If I could taste it 
You’ve given me a new name
And a destiny 
And I’m proud to say
You are my new ID 

And I am free-- 

And You have made
Everything beautiful 
You have made
Everything beautiful
You have made 
Everything beautiful 
In time 
It's so beautiful in time 
It's so beautiful in time
It's so beautiful in
Time
