He's All I need


Forced to leave my home
Surviving on my own
I need someone to turn to
‘Cause I have nowhere to go.

My will to live is dying
As helplessly I’m trying
To escape this lonely nightmare
And beloved for who I am.

But then I met someone who’d also lost his home
But a certain strength within him
Gives him peace and makes him smile.

He said he, too, had felt forsaken
Misfortune left his spirit broken
And when he almost gave up hoping
Came a love that made him strong.

chorus
When everything else passed me by
Then I found Jesus!
All others may forsake me,
But He never goes away.
When this world has nothing left for me
I’ll still have Jesus!
I’m never alone since I found Jesus
And He’s all I need.
He’s all I need.

This friend spoke of love that never dies
With compassion in his eyes, and said
There’s Someone I could turn to
Who’ll be with me through it all.

With God’s loving arms around me
And everlasting joy within me
I’ve found happiness in living
Since I made these words my own.

Ooh-ooh-ooh,ooh-ooh.
You’re all I need, Jesus, all I need.

Love You From The Start



You are my Heaven, all is forgiven
I'm in love with You
You put together, my life forever
I will live for You

I was in pieces, wrinkled in crisis
Until You came
Now I live only
Simply to worship Your name

Chorus:
I've waited so long but I saw I was wrong
In not loving You
It took me some years and some pain and some tears
But You pulled me through

I've waited so long but I see You belong
Deep down in my heart
And I wonder why I didn't love You from the start

I was confused then, lost in the world
One that was spinnin' 'round
You stopped the spinning
Gave me a beginning, on a solid ground

Now there's a purpose
Life's not a circus since I found You Lord
I'm Yours forever
Take me and never let me leave Your word

Bridge:
Now it's all so very clear
Why I'm even standing here?
Everything's in black and white
Since I saw Your light

Famine for LOVE



I stepped on to the crumbling sidewalk
Of a nation that claims to be
A place of truth and freedom
A land of opportunity

We trust in God, this nation proclaims
But trust died years ago
And God is among the list of names
Of people you don't know

Chorus:
There is a famine for love sweeping this nation
There's a famine for peace of mind.
There's a famine for hope that's killing my generation
There's a famine killing all mankind

There's an echoing distant memory
Of love that died in the Aquarian age
Now the air is thick with hatred
Fear and anger are turned into rage

My eyes are stinging with the tears that I weep
For the death of souls and lives
Some buried alive from sadness
Others perish from guns and knives

Oh won't you let me get you a doctor
Who can save your dying spirit
He's been calling your name for a long time
Have you listened? Can you hear it?

"A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief"
It was for you he died
And His Word of life can heal your soul
And fill that emptiness inside

Don't Give Up, Don't Give In


So you’ve lost your will to live
Seems you’re down to your last friend
And the weight of the world keeps
Trying to pull you in

Don’t give up don’t give in
Give it all to Him
Cause He cares so much more than you know
When it seems who you really want to be
Is someone you’ll never become
Just look how far you’ve come

Though you fail at plans you’ve made
Don’t forget all the steps you’ve make
He has brought you this far
He can take you the rest of the way

I know it’s not always easy
(how far you’ve come)
But don’t you throw in all away
(how far you’ve come)
I know that He will take care of you everyday

Footprints In The Sand



I dreamed that I was walking along the sands of time;
It seemed I saw my whole life flash before my eyes.
The One Who walked beside me gently led me by the hand;
Together we walked onwards-left our footprints in the sand.

And looking back, it seemed in times of heartbreak and despair,
I only saw a single set of footprints walking there.
When I questioned Him beside me, "Were You really always near?"
The answer that He gave me still echoes in my ear.

Footprints in the sand, walking side by side,
Walking on forever with Jesus as my guide.
(All the time / So many times)
I thought I walked alone, but His voice so kind and true
Said, "That single line of footprints was when I carried you."

Through every time of disappointment, every time of lonely tears,
There's one thing ever constant, never changing through the years:
There's a love that's so much stronger than our weary mortal frames;
There's a love that sees our weakness and loves us still the same.

And even though the storms may blow across that windswept sand,
And even when our trials may seem so hard to understand,
There's a voice that whispers softly with a promise all sublime,
"I am with you always until the end of time.

Broken Pieces


Your ship of life has sailed for years upon life’s troubled sea
You’d withered many storms of doubt, had many victories
Now your life is broken, your ship is torn apart
Aren’t you glad the God you serve can use a broken heart?

Some on broken boards, some on broken pieces
Life’s wrecked by sin, still need to be restored
Your ship may be broken, drifting on the ocean
There are still more souls you can bring back to the Lord

You may not preach to multitude who stand for you in line
But you can reach those multitudes, one soul at time
When we stand before God’s throne to tell of all we’ve done
With no excuse I’d rather hear my Father say, “Well Done!”

We Must Go



See the little children
Dressed in tattered clothes.
Ashamed of where they're living
They think nobody knows.

Look into their eyes and see
Lives wrecked because of sin.
These are the same children
Jesus came to win.

chorus
We must go and tell them Jesus loves them.
We must go and love them as our own.
They can't wait to know the love of Jesus.
We must go and show them their new home.

See the broken mothers, fighting tears away,
Trapped by where they're living
Their dreams in ashes lay.

Mistakes that they made in their past
Now haunt them everyday.
But God gives second chances
Don't turn them away.

Many lives have changed
Many lives have salvaged.
All of them because somebody cared.

Look into your past
Look where you have come from.
Where would you be had
Someone else not shared?

We must tell the children.
We must tell the mothers.
We must tell the world that Jesus care!

Won't you go- and show them their new home?
