God van de liefde
eeuwig en trouw
God die de wereld in Zijn handen houdt
God van nieuw leven
U die ons ziet
in onze vreugde
en in ons verdriet

U bent Emmanuel
God met ons
U bent dichtbij
U houdt van ons

God van genezing
God van herstel
U die in stormen
de stilte weer brengt
God van genade
Gever van hoop
op geen andere naam
bouwen wij ons geloof

U bent Emmanuel
en U bent zo dichtbij
U bent Emmanuel
God met ons

Emmanuel (Life@Opwekking)

Lovesong (Adele)

Original song by Jonathan Butler.
Vocals done by Elja van Oostveen, instruments done by Jasper Mellema

Falling in love with Jesus,
falling in love with Jesus,
falling in love with Jesus,
was the best thing I've ever, ever done.

In his arms, I feel protected,
in his arms, never disconnected,
in his arms, I feel protected,
there's no place I'd rather, rather be

Falling in love with Jesus (Jonathan Butler)

I had been waiting for so long
Unfulfilled I was longing for someone
Wondering what I was doing wrong
Who would hold me and shelter me from the storm
I was faithfully searching for this life
I was looking in all the wrong places
Then it occurred to me that I
Suddenly I realized what I had not done
Should have gone right to you from the start
To the creator of my heart
You were patiently waiting to hear from me
So you could reveal your perfect plan
I couldn't see now I understand
Looking back why was I so blue
Looking back now I'm glad you took the time
You were showing me all I needed was you
You were preparing my heart and mind
What I had to do was to go right to you from the start
To the creator of my heart
What a wonderful blessing you sent to me
As soon as I turned my face to you
You came through

The Moment I Prayed
The moment I asked, I knew that my heart was in his hands
The moment I knocked he opened the door for me
Made a wonderful miracle I had been praying for
I know my forever has come true
The Moment I prayed, he answered my prayer with you

The Moment I Prayed (Kirk Whalum)

Nummer 2/3 van het bedank-cdtje van onze bruiloft!

You found me
Singing songs about the rain
I found you; I couldn't find words to explain 
How you were the day I was the dark of night
How the world spun around us like a satellite
How you met me in the middle and I held on tight

You will always be my beautiful distraction
One part sweetness two parts passion
Everyday you make me feel brand new
You asked for my heart not perfection
The first one to lead me in the right direction
This crazy world won’t change the same old me
Who loves the same old you

You brought me back when I’d forgotten how to fall
To fall in love
Showed me I could have it all
And not give up a single thing I am
When I said I couldn’t you said
Yes we can
It took me all this time now I understand, I do

Here I am talking about forever
Never thought I’d say it, never ever
Hold me once, hold me twice, hold me for the rest of my life

Beautiful Distraction (Ilse Delange)

Nummer 3/3 van het bedank-cdtje van onze bruiloft!
Origineel door Newworldson.
Gespeeld en gezongen door Jasper en Elja Mellema.

Some say love is just a word, just four letters in a row
Just a thing that people say or they never tell you so
And you use every excuse to let nobody in
Now this cloud you bring around has become your only friend

And everybody saying that it's going to go away but it don't go
And everybody's telling you one day it's going to change
But you don't know if it's really going to end

But there is a way, there is a spark
There is a hope that you can hold on to
There is a lifeline come to the rescue
Just like a hand that's waiting for you
And if you believe in this I promise that you won't be alone
There is a way, the truth and the life, and the way

But if love became a man if the word had flesh and bone
Would you recognize His face if He came to bring you home?
You think you're all alone, gotta do it on your own riding solo
Is there someone you can call when you stumble and fall?
'Cause you don't know if you'll be getting up again

Don't you think your life's worth saving?
Don't you know that love's amazing?
Don't you want to lay your troubles down?
Lay them down

If I thought love was just a word, I might feel the same way too
But there's so much more than that and it's waiting here for you

I'm talking 'bout the Truth and the life and the way.

Jasper en Elja
