THROUGH ME

Whatever you are going through
I am always here for you
In the height and in the depth
I am with you every step
Any crisis big or small
I am bigger than them all
There is nothing I can't do
satan bows his knee to you
Through me.

I have loved you on the cross
Took the rap for all your loss
Past and present, future too
I have covered them for you
So you need not ever fear
Call My name and I am near
Hand your problems straight to Me
You will see the darkness flee
Through Me.

Come on child, it's time to trust
Shake off all that clogging dust
It is time to seek My face
Put Me in My proper place
At the head of all you are
Drop your mask and we'll go far
Die to self and live again
You will never be the same
Through Me.

PUPPETS

We are not puppets
We all have a choice
To choose our redeemer
The only true voice
But who is it speaking
A dear friend or foe
What is our purpose
Where will we go.

Descended from Adam
Who ruined our fate
We follow the devil
Who's apple he ate
So now we are headed
To life without hope
A hellish existence
Oh how will we cope.

We can be clever
And call on The One
Who died on the cross
To defeat satans fun
He loves us so dearly
He wants to be part
Of our resurrection
Just give Him your heart.

CHRISTMAS IS COMING

Coming to a place near you
The Christmas show is on it's way
Complete with all the thrills and spills
Of trying to keep your debt at bay
No one must be cast adrift
For this is when you prove yourself
To be the loving, caring soul
Who likes to share your meagre wealth.

You have a list of all the names
Of friends and relatives you know
Because they're sure to buy for you
The strain of keeping up does show
Perhaps they're happy with the thought
That some one cares enough to send
Glad tidings of The Saviours birth
The One on who we all depend.

So let us radiate the truth
Of what this time is all about
A baby born of meagre means
Who lived to serve the down and out
With all the money that we waste
The greed and gluttony portrayed
Brings shame upon The Son of man
His life and work we have betrayed.

COAL

A glowing coal falls on the hearth
And slowly it turns grey
The heat subsides until it's cold
And then it's swept away

A branch is cut off from the vine
The consequence is dire
Without the sap, it will dry up
All hope of fruit expire.

If we go it all alone
Thinking we know best
Sadly we will slowly die
And never pass the test.

THE ROCK

The Rock that I stand on
Is firm and unyielding
Supporting my movement
Whatever I’m fielding
He’s there when I falter
Slip off of the path
He’s ready to help me
Turn sorrow to laughs
He guides me along
Every step of the way
From darkness I’ve travelled
Towards His bright ray
The Rock stops me sinking
Back into the mire
Through Jesus I’m stable
To Him I aspire.

GOD IS LOVE

Who on earth are you trying to be
Someone deep in human pride
Straining,striving endlessly
To right the wrongs you'd like to hide.

What on earth was expected
Couldn't mold you into type
Put you down for every fault
Tears of pain you cannot wipe.

God is love,He knows you well
Loves you just the way you are
His arms outstretched are beckoning
Come here child, you are a star.

You're the one whom I created
No mistakes are made by Me
I can make you feel elated
And in Me you can be free.

NO MATTER

No matter what you're going through
However bad it seems
There is someone listening
To all your rants and screams
Maybe you've forgotten
That He is standing by
To help you in your misery
And mop the tears you cry.

He knows what it's all about
He bore our death and sin
Agonising on the cross
He let the sunshine in
To shine upon our darkest times
To raise us from the dead
So place your pain into His hands
And live His life instead.

CRY FOR HELP

Here I sit inside my cell
Imprisoned by my mind
The world goes by without my help
It manages, I find
The dark and dingy place I live
Brings comfort to my soul
For I am safe inside my tower
My non demanding hole.

Created by almighty God
We've kept apart, so far
I know He'd like to call me son
But I'm locked in my jar
I'm heading for a future, dark
I'm following the one
Who hates the ground I stand upon
But where else can I run.

I'm getting quite depressed, right now
To think, there is a way
Of getting out of this dark cell
So I can go and play
With Father God, who loves me so
His Son was killed for me
Oh come and rescue me, right now
And end this misery.

DEAREST JESUS

Dearest Jesus, faithful friend
Why am I holding back
From sinking deep into Your arms
I seem to have the knack
Of putting You right at the end
Of all the things I do
I’m sorry that I’m hurting One
Who is a friend so true.

It’s not as if I haven’t time
To sit and talk with You
The pleasures of my busy life
Are clouding up my view
If only I would sit and make
A space for You and me
I’m sure that our relationship
Would grow tremendously.

HEAVY

We must be rather heavy
When to self we die
It must take a superman
To carry you and I
A very clever doctor
Who can raise us from the dead
Filling us with life anew
That's clean and pure instead.

We must be rather empty
Drained of worldly blight
Before we can be filled back up
With power, strength and might
Somewhat like a service
That tunes us up to be
A motivated mean machine
To set the captives free.
