Lyrics:

Whooooa your promises
Whooooa my confidence

You’re gonna lead us on
You’re gonna lead us through
We can see the other side already
You’re gonna lead us on
You’re gonna lead us in
We’re gonna taste the promised land milk and honey

You’re gonna lead me on
You’re gonna lead me through
I can see the other side already
You’re gonna lead me on
You’re gonna lead me in
I’m gonna taste the promised land milk and honey

You’re so good, so good to us
You’re so good, so good to us
You’re so good, so good to us
You’re so good, so good, so good
(x2)

Whooooa your promises
Whooooa my confidence

You’re gonna lead us on
You’re gonna lead us in
We can see the other side already
You’re gonna lead us on
You’re gonna lead us through
We can see the other side already

You’re gonna lead us on
You’re gonna lead us through
We can see the other side already
You’re gonna lead us on
You’re gonna lead us in
We can taste the promised land milk and honey

Lyrics:

Yeah I’m washed in the water and I’m washed in the blood
In the water of the word and the blood of the Son
Fully accepted in the beloved one
(x2)

Let the water of your word rush over like a flood
Washing eyes and hearts to know we’re cleansed by mercy’s blood

It is finished
It is finished

God has justified - now who is there who can accuse?
Jesus Christ who died and rose is interceding, too
The Spirit whom You gave to us bears witness to the truth

It is finished
It is finished

Am I dead to sin?  I reckon so
Am I alive to God?  I reckon so
Are we dead to sin?  We reckon so
Are we alive to You?  Yeah we reckon so
‘Cause we died with You and then You rose

Yeah we’re washed in the water and we’re washed in the blood
In the water of the word and the blood of the Son
We’re fully accepted in the beloved one

Yeah we’re washed in the water and washed in blood
In the water of the word and the blood of the Son
I’m accepted in the beloved one

Lyrics:

With joy we all draw water from salvation’s wells
It’s You that satisfies us, You and no one else
And in the house of our God forever we will dwell
And we will sing:

All my fountains are in You (x7)

With joy we all draw water from salvation’s wells
Your love - it satisfies us; Your love and nothing else
And in the house of our God forever we will dwell
And we will sing:

(We’ll sing)
All my fountains are in You (x8)

All My Fountains

Lyrics:

I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection
And the fellowship of sharing in His sufferings
Becoming like Him in His death
And so somehow to attain to the resurrection from the dead

But one thing I do, forgetting what’s behind
And pressing on toward what’s ahead to win the prize
I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me

Not that I’ve already obtained all this
Not that I’ve already taken hold of it
Brothers and sisters I do not consider myself yet
To have taken hold of it

But one thing I do, forgetting what’s behind
And straining toward what is ahead to win the prize
I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me

Jesus took hold of me
Jesus took hold of me

And one thing I do, forgetting what’s behind
And straining toward what is ahead to win the prize
I press on to take hold of that for which Christ

Jesus took hold of me

Lyrics:

Always

And always l’ll be staying with You at Your place
Looking at the smile on Your face
Drinking in Your gracefulness

Always l’ll be staying with You at Your place
Drinking in the smile on Your face
Reveling in and enjoying all of Your gracefulness

Always l’ll be staying with You at Your place
Seeing the smile on Your face
Drinking in Your glory and Your gracefulness

The goodness that You are
The love that You are
Will follow me far
Will follow me far

The goodness that You are
The love that You are
Will follow me far

Until I’m old
Until I’m gray
Until the day I fly away
Until I’m old
Even when I’m gray
All my long life long
All my long life long

The goodness that You are
The love that You are
Will follow me far
Follow me far

And always l’ll be staying with You at Your place
Looking at the smile on Your face
Being amazed by Your gracefulness

Always I’ll be staying with You at Your place
Drinking in the smile and joy of

Being with the One I know
Being with the One I love
Being with the One I know
Being with the One I love

Who led me here below
And receives me above

Being with the One I know
Looking at the One I love
And getting to know You more and more

Always
I’ve got a love that’s always and
Really, truly never ends

Always l’ll be staying with You in our place
Drinking in the smile of Your face
Basking in Your love and Your gracefulness

The goodness that You are
And the love that You are
Will follow me far

Always

I’ve got a reason to dance, got a reason to sing
Dance for the Lord and sing to my King
I’ve got a reason to dance and a reason to sing
You’re the reason

I’ve got a reason to dance, got a reason to sing
Dance for the Lord and sing for my King
I’ve got a reason to dance, got a reason to sing

Yeah Yea-ea-eah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Yea-eah

I’ve got a reason to dance, got a reason to sing
Dance for the Lord and sing for my King
I’ve got a reason to dance, I’ve got a reason to sing
You’re the reason


I hear You laughing
Jesus, You’re singing songs of freedom over me
Yes I hear You shouting
Jesus, You’re dancing
You’re rejoicing over me


I’ve got a reason to dance, got a reason to sing
Dance for the Lord and sing for my King
I’ve got a reason to dance, I’ve got a reason to sing

I’ve got a reason to dance, got a reason to sing
Dance for the Lord and sing for my King
Got a reason to dance, got a reason to sing

Cause I hear You singing
Jesus, You’re laughing songs of freedom over me
And I hear You shouting
Oh Jesus, we’re dancing
You’re rejoicing over me

I dance for the Lord, I sing for my King
I’ve got a reason to dance and a reason to sing
You’re the reason

Reason to Dance

Hey there!  I hope that these songs build you up in your faith in Jesus and remind you of who He is and who you are in him.

NOTE:  While these songs are all “finished” lyrically/melodically, you’re actually listening to my original songwriting recordings - just me with a guitar or other stringed instrument and my phone’s voice memo app.

This has the downside of not being as sonically polished and having lower audio quality compared with a usual studio mix - but it also has the advantage of bringing a more “raw” and spontaneous listening experience, complete with a few mistakes and technical irregularities.  In most cases you’re hearing the “original-original” recording - made right after or even as the song was still being written.

I hope you enjoy these acoustic tracks as much as I love creating them.  I pray that the Holy Spirit fills you with his presence and reveals Jesus to your heart more deeply than ever before.  Thank you for listening!  ❤️‍🔥
