I am so blessed to have met such wonderfully created people on Soundcloud.  It takes courage to connect......and trust.......so I jumped out of the boat and did this.......the result speaks for itself.......it is better to run the race together....to share, encourage and support each other. Thanks to everyone who has given their valuable time to bring the songs to life.

Collaboration with gifted and wonderfully talented Soundclouders

This is an acoustic version of a song I wrote to encourage others because it's not about the beauty on the outside, it's the heart of the person that shines through.
Not sung by me (yet) but done beautifully by a dear friend.

You catch me when I fall     Original lyrics By Chris Sanderson  5th April, 2014 /Copyright
Sung by Ian Weekes

When things are bad…..And I feel so sad
Broken in two……
You show up and you care for me
Because that’s what you do

You catch me when I fall…You catch me when I fall
I don’t even have to call
Because you’re ready and waiting
To catch me when I fall

Your word lifts me…..So that I can see
A new vision…..
You show up and you care for me
With all your provision

You catch me when I fall…..You catch me when I fall
I don’t even have to call
Because you’re ready and waiting
To catch me when I fall

I am so blessed…..Rejecting depressed
Walking in truth…..
You show up and you care for me
Your word has set me loose

You catch me when I fall…..You catch me when I fall
I don’t even have to call
Because you’re ready and waiting
To catch me when I fall

You pour out grace…..Victory to taste
Nothing to fear…..
You show up and you care for me
Your Spirit’s always near 

You catch me when I fall…..You catch me when I fall
I don’t even have to call
Because you’re ready and waiting
To catch me when I fall

My thankful heart…..Has a new start
Mercy overflows…..
You show up and you care for me
Love for you always grows 

You catch me when I fall…..You catch me when I fall,
I don’t even have to call…..Because you’re ready and waiting…..To catch me when I fall…..  To catch me when I fall…..To catch me when I fall.  Amen


Ian Weekes -Catch me when I fall Original By Chrissy Sanderson

Tris from Soundcloud has kindly given his time and energy to put vocals and music to this song.  Thank you kindly Tris - your creativity is truly a gift from God.

This song is my understanding of the importance of inviting the Holy Spirit to be part of my everyday life and the realization of how "precious" I am to God........God is interested in every details and wants to be a part of every second of my life.....kind of awesome really. But God will not force his way in...we have to come to a place of praise and worship and acceptance of His love for us. We have to invite him to drawer near......His thoughts towards us are always kind and good.
Words of song follows:-
Spirit of God drawer near Lyrics by Chrissy Sanderson
Spirit of God drawer near
I know I’ve nothing to fear
Fill me with your peace
So the torment has to cease….And the storms have to cease
I’m on your mind all the time
Your thoughts towards me are always kind
You always want the best for me
My hearts been changed for all to see
Spirit of God drawer near
I know I’ve nothing to fear
Fill me with your grace
Wash away all my mistakes……Forgive me of my mistakes
You build me up and make me strong
I’ll praise your name all day long
You always want the best for me
My hearts been changed for all to see
Spirit of God drawer near
I know I’ve nothing to fear
Fill me with your love
Pour out down from above…….Overflow from above
I’m not the person I used to be
I’m born again
I’ve been set free
You always want the best for me
My hearts been changed
For all to see
Halleluliah to the king
How my soul wants to sing
Hallelulia, Hallelulia, Hallelulia
To the king
Spirit of God drawer near
I know I’ve nothing to fear
Fill me with your peace
So the torment has to cease……Yes the storms have to cease
I’m on your mind all the time
Your thoughts towards me are always kind
You always want the best for me
My hearts been changed for all to see
I’m not the person I used to be
I’m born again for all to see
Halleluliah, Halleluliah….Halleluliah   to the king.  Amen

Praise The Lord. He HEALS! Thanks to Chrissy Sanderson for such precious lyrics. Jesus is the same today, yesterday and forever.

"He Is My Healer" (written by Chrissy Sanderson, vocals by Omar Garper)

This song at the time was about my life, my mistakes, my hurts.....until I found my faith in God where I became loved, accepted and forgiven.
Leon and I have worked on this song together and hope that it encourages others to take a step of faith and discover the fullness of God.
God bless.

To Be Near You

To be near you

To Be Near You written by Chrissy Sanderson

2023 - Stay safe everyone and let's hope we all get through this by being wise and helping each other. May 2023 be a year of blessing and outreach to the lost.....keep singing praise and worship to Jesus.   Would love for folk to step forward to help me out with the music/vocals.........collaboration / teamwork......I am running with a batton of lyrics......God started this so I am confident that He will finish it.

Thank you so much for listening. I pray the words will touch your heart, bless and encourage you.  My heart has been encouraged by the words that have poured into me to keep me afloat against all the storms that we have faced.  Hopefully the songs will bless you, to give you an anchor that you may need to keep you steadfast and unmovable regardless of the giants or storms that you may be facing today! Amen. I have been inspired to write the songs along with singing the melody into my digital recorder however Ian Weekes from our song writing group has blessed me so much by singing some of the songs and playing the guitar, which have been downloaded to Soundcloud.  Blessed talent! Jo Falke, Bernie Killen, Risingson, Tris, Omar Garcia, Jonathan Barendsma and Leon have all supported me too!  I am currently learning to play the guitar and praying for the confidence and voice so that one day I'll download a song for Soundcloud (I've done this now :). A big thank you to everyone here for all their love, support and encouragement, it makes a difference! Bless you all. :)Thank you so much for listening.
