This is a song about how fast your life can change if you just give up your pride and give in to the Lord.

WORDS:

Suddenly - my whole life changes 
Like the parting of the clouds
And suddenly - I don’t see strangers
Just the lost in the crowds.
Suddenly - the old ways vanish
Like the changing of the tide.
Suddenly - the chains are lifted
Since I gave up my pride.

Suddenly, I am whole again.
Through my tears, I find joy again.
Won’t you listen?
Don’t turn away...
‘cause “suddenly” is coming your way.

Suddenly - the days seem shorter
Like we’re running out of time.
And suddenly - I feel much older
But I don’t really mind.

Suddenly I am whole again.
Through my tears, I find joy again.
Won’t you listen?
Don’t turn away...
‘cause “suddenly” is coming your way.

Suddenly I see so clearly.
Suddenly I feel Him near.
And suddenly my life has meaning.
Suddenly I have no fear.

Suddenly - I see the rainbows
After all the rain.
I suddenly - have peace and comfort
After years of pain.

Suddenly, I am whole again.
Through my tears, I find joy again.
Won’t you listen?
Don’t turn away
‘cause suddenly’s a moment away.

Won’t you listen?
Don’t turn away...
‘Cause
Suddenly’s a moment...
Suddenly’s a moment...away.

Suddenly

WORDS: 

I’m so happy to know you Jesus
For you have saved me from myself.
I was falling into darkness.
I’m so happy to know you Lord.

I’m so happy to know you Jesus
For I was crawling: down and out.
Now I’m standing in your glory.
I’m so happy to know you Lord.

I know the Lord...I know the Lord...
I know my Savior Jesus is Lord!
I know the Lord...I know the Lord.
I’m so happy to know you Lord!

I’m so happy to know you Father!
I give you glory...I give you praise!
For you loved me while yet a sinner.
Now I’m so happy to know you Lord!

I know the Lord...I know the Lord...
I know my Savior Jesus is Lord!
I know the Lord...I know the Lord.
I’m so happy to know you Lord!

Now the things that were old seem new
As the lies of the past 
Are replaced with the truth
Lord, I owe all my joy to you.
So I’ll give you the praise
It’s the least I can do....

I know the Lord...I know the Lord...
I know my Savior Jesus is Lord!
I know the Lord...I know the Lord.
I’m so happy to know you Lord!

Every morning when I wake up
Every evening, when I sleep
You are always ever present.
I’m so happy to know you Lord!

I’m so happy to know you Lord!
I’m so happy to know you Lord!

So Happy

This is a contemporary song-prayer request of the Lord.

WORDS:

You look so worried.
So worn, so thin.
You look so lost and tired:
You want to give in...

He said, "Don't worry...
Do not be scared."
He said - with the faith of a child:
You'll know He is here

'Cause He's bigger than that...
He has a plan...
He knows our needs...
He understands.
'Cause He's bigger than us
And anything we do
He's bigger than me.
He's bigger than you

So if you worry
If you feel lost
Don't forget that He paid the price:
His blood on the cross!
His life was the cost!

But He's bigger than that
He's in control...
He knows your needs
He knows your soul
'Cause He's bigger than us
And anything we do...
He's bigger than me.
He's bigger than you.

Sometimes we just don't get it.
'Cause it's so easy to forget:
that God is bigger than anything
but He hasn't stopped loving us yet!

And He's bigger than...
And He's bigger than...
And He's bigger than...

'Cause He's bigger than that,
He's in control.
He knows your needs:
He knows your soul.
And He's bigger than us
And anything we do.
He's bigger than me.
He's bigger than you.

And God is bigger than anything!

Bigger Than That

A worshipful song that describes our 'stance' towards our Lord.

Words:

I will sing to You.
I will call You Glorious.
I will call unto Your mighty name.
I will call You Glorious

I will bow to You.
I will call You Glorious.
I will kneel before Your mighty throne. 
I will call You Glorious

Fear the Lord...and know His Majesty.
Hear the Lord...we are not listening.

I will pray to You.
I will call You Glorious.
I will rest beneath Your mighty wings. 
I will call You Glorious

I will come to you.
I will call You Glorious.
I will hearken only to Your will. 
I will call You Glorious.

Fear the Lord...and know His Majesty.
Hear the Lord...He is not whispering.

I will sing to You.
I will call You Glorious.
I will call unto Your mighty name.
I will call You Glorious

...I will call You Glorious
...I will call You Glorious
...I will call You... 

Glorious

Glorious

A song that asks how we can be like His disciples...

WORDS:

What would I have been like if He'd called to me?
Would I have been able to drop everything?
Would I have been humble?
Or filled with pride?
What would I have done if I'd been by His side?

How would I have felt healing the blind?
Could I have forgiven the mean and unkind?
Would I have been able to do all these things?
What would I have been like if I'd been with Him?

What would I have been like if I had been there?
Would I have been faithful?
Would I have been scared?
Could I have been like what He saw in them?
What would I have been like if I'd been with Him?

Would I have been braver than all of the rest?
Would I have stood firm on that watery test?
Would I have had courage for steps I would take?
What would I have done with Him on that lake?

What would I have been like
When they came that night?
Would I have fought bravely or run in fright?
How would I have felt when my Lord had gone?
What would I have thought?
What could I have done?

Bridge:
Well, it's easy to wonder 'cross time and space
When none of us ever has seen His face
Oh, I'm sure there are times when wonder you must
What would we have been like if....
that had been us?

Well it's nice to wonder but now you must say:
"How can I serve my Lord Jesus today?
Will I be a steward or seek out the lost?
What will I give up? Will I pay the cost?"

What will I have been like when these times are past?
Will I make a difference or disappear fast?
How can I be like what He saw in them?
I'll be what I'd be like
If I was with Him!

What would I have been like....?
What would I have done....?
What will I have been like.....

I'll be what I'd be like
If I was with Him.

What Would I Have Been Like?

This is an original song I composed for my wife.

WORDS:

I know a person who is gentle and wise;
Who is full of mystery, full of surprise.
This is a person whose mercy is great;
Who is quick to forgive; who will patiently wait
This is the person I want in my life
Who is this person.....?

I know someone who is more than fair
Whose smile's more pleasing
Than a breath of fresh air
I think this person the angels sing of;
Whose eyes are like stars shining above
This is the someone I want in my life
Who is this someone...?

O Lord Almighty in heaven above
Has given me hope in the form of my love
O Lord Almighty dispenser of Grace
I see His reflection when I see this face
This is the person I want in my life
Who is this person?
She's my wife.

She is the one always gives of herself;
She'd rather be helping than anywhere else
She is the kind who is written about:
Resplendent and wise; resourceful, devout.
She is the one I want in my life;
Who is this person...?

   She is the person that I'd like to be:
   Wisdom, compassion, amazing beauty
   I'll always be thankful to share in her life.
   Who is this person? 
   She's my wife.

O Lord Almighty in heaven above
Has shown me His mercy in the form of my love
O Lord Almighty in whom I rejoice
I hear Him whisper when I hear her voice
This is the person I want in my life

Who is this person?
She's my...
Incredible person? 
She's my...
Beautiful person?

Who is this person?

She's my wife.

Who Is This Person?

This is a love song.
WORDS:

I thought of you today
Though you were far away
I thought: 
‘Feel me... think of me...right now’

I spoke into the wind
My words caressed your skin
I touched you...I feel you…right now
Hear me...
Know me…
Right now

Oh in this fallen world of wrong and right
I’m so grateful for your shining light
I am yours now
And you are mine
We shall always be....one through time

I heard you call my name
I’ve never been the same. 
I turn around...I see you…right now
I hear you...know you
Right now

Right now, I am waiting on forever 
Forever will I be with you
Right now, we’re apart and yet together 
Together as one and one are two
Right now, it’s heaven just to see you
To know who you are
To breathe with you

I spoke into your soul
Your deepest heart untold 
Hear me...know me…right now

I love you…
Forever…

Right now.

Right Now
