This song was written whilst I contemplated how the glitz of 'X'mas was taking over Christmas and I wanted to focus on just how humble an entrance into our world Jesus had.

A Cradle For The King

Fate or whatever you call it will always lead us to our 'true love'.

Travelling down a dusty road with a good friend by my side,
Talking 'bout how Jesus died;
He just wandered up beside and he asked us what it was
That was heavy on our minds.

I didn't know who you were
Didn't ask where you came from
I didn't even ask your name.
But you chose to share such living words rushing through my soul,
Teaching me mysteries I thought I'd never know - I'd never know

Could he really not have known, how they crucified the Christ
How they laid him in a tomb?
Yet this morning he was gone, shining angels sang their song
Of how the Lord is coming soon.

He said, "Why d'you question what is written, He must suffer and be slain,
On the third day He will rise."
Then he shared the prophets living words, rushing through my soul,
Teaching me mysteries I thought I'd never know - I'd never know

I begged him "Come stay with us!
The journey's long there may be trouble up ahead."
Then He opened our blind eyes, when He broke bread and blessed it -
Our saviour is alive!

So many stumble on the way through the journey of their lives
Never knowing what He's done.
How life starts and ends with Him, how He's paid the price for sin
How our lives can be reborn.

I should have known who you were, should have asked where you came from,
I should have known your name.
And why you chose to share those living words, rushing through my soul,
Teaching me mysteries I thought I'd never know - I'd never know

Travelling down a dusty road through the journey of my life, with a good friend by my side.

Emmaus

Is any kind of love quite like your love?
Is any kind of love quite the same?
When I feel your heartbeat close to me
I feel completely free.

I can live again (x3)
In your arms

Is any other face quite like your face?
Does any other shine so bright?
When I feel your gentle eyes meet mine
Every moments so sublime.

I will ever be (x3)

In your arms of love
Keeping me warm through the cold of loneliness.
In your arms of love
Hold me near, never lose your faith in me;
I'll always want your love.

Is any other name quite like your name?
Does any other name hold so much?
When I'm down you're right there by my side
Sharing all the love I once denied.

And I feel no pain (x3)
In your arms

Can any other give all that you give?
Can any other give so much joy?
Is any other love; is any other face;
Is any other name quite the same?

In your arms of love
Keeping me warm through the cold of loneliness.
In your arms of love
Hold me near, never lose your faith in me;
I'll always want your love.

Arms Of Love

When the world around surrounds us
And there's nowhere left to run
When darkness becomes darker and clouds obscure the sun
When pain is reaching out to steal life's breath away
It feels there's no more good to get you through the day.
When there's no more love to give 
And you're buried in despair
Maybe it seems impossible that anybody ever cares.
It's true that there is suffering! It's true that there is death!
It's true that all we hold so dear will not sustain our breath.

But I believe in love, when there's no more love to share.
I believe that love can light the darkest night.
I believe somebody cares.
And I believe in you and I believe in me
I believe together we can face this life,
'Cause I believe in love!

Love is patient. Love is kind.
Love it knows no envy and only has the best in mind.
Love is humble. Love knows no pride.
Love trusts, protects and hopes while others try to hide.

But I believe in love, when there's no more love to share.
I believe that love can light the darkest night.
I believe somebody cares.
And I believe in you and I believe in me
I believe together we can face this life,

Oh and I believe in love, when there's no more love to share.
I believe that love can light the darkest night.
I believe somebody cares.
And I believe in you and I believe in me
I believe together we can face this life,
'Cause I believe in love!

I Believe In Love

Rejoice in the Lord always!
Say it again! Rejoice!
Rejoice in the Lord always!
Say it again!

May you be gentle in all that you do,
May God's richest blessings rest upon you.
All of your worries, all of your cares,
Share them with Jesus in thanksgiving and prayer.

Rejoice in the Lord always!
Say it again! Rejoice!
Rejoice in the Lord always!
Say it again!

Whatever is lovely. Whatever is true.
Whatever is noble. What ever is pure.
All that is worthy of honour and praise,
Be with you always and bless you with peace.

Rejoice in the Lord always!
Say it again! Rejoice!
Rejoice in the Lord always!
Say it again!

Rejoice in the Lord always!
Say it again! Rejoice!
Rejoice in the Lord always!
Rejoice in the Lord.

Based upon Philippians 4:4-9

Rejoice In The Lord

Never be the same

This was the first song I wrote. It's special to me because the lyrics were adapted from a poem my mum wrote. She was an awesome poet.
