Chorus: For the gift of each day I thank you Lord.
For the sun and the rain, your world restored.
If it's good or it's bad, I will praise you Lord.
It's a gift each and every day.
It's a gift each and every day.
1. In the morning I wake up,
Open my eyes as I greet the day.
And even if I don't feel right,
I can sense you are there,
Sending your goodness out everywhere.
Chorus: For the gift of each day I thank you Lord.
For the sun and the rain, your world restored.
If it's good or it's bad, I will praise you Lord.
It's a gift each and every day.
It's a gift each and every day.
2. There are moments of laughter,
Moments of sorrow, joy and pain.
We don't always get what we're after.
But we can trust you are there,
Sending your goodness out everywhere.
For the gift of each day I thank you Lord.
For the sun and the rain, your world restored.
If it's good or it's bad, I will praise you Lord.
It's a gift each and every day.
It's a gift each and every day.
Bridge: Standing on my porch at night,
Watching the sun go down.
Knowing in my very soul
You're holding me in your hand.
Nothing in the world comes close.
There's nothing that can compare,
To knowing someone really cares,
And knowing he's always there.
For the gift of each day I thank you Lord.
For the sun and the rain, your world restored.
If it's good or it's bad, I will praise you Lord.
It's a gift each and every day.
It's a gift each and every day.
For the gift of each day I thank you Lord.
For the sun and the rain, your world restored.
If it's good or it's bad, I will praise you Lord.
It's a gift each and every day.
It's a gift each and every day.

1. Great is thy faithfulness, O God my father.
There is no shadow of turning with thee.
Thou changest not, they compassions they fail not.
As thou hast been, thou forever wilt be.
Chorus: Great is thy faithfulness, great is thy faithfulness.
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed thy hand hath provided.
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me.
2. Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest.
Sun, moon and stars in there courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
3. Pardon for sin, and a peace that endureth.
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide.
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow.
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside.

Obedience
06:25
|
|||
|
1. Stumbling along thee road, burdened by a heavy load.
Wand'ring in the dark, I hear you call my name.
Just one word and I know
That this burden, I can let it go.
My heart is light and still,
When I am following your will.
Chorus: So give my a heart for obedience,
Perfect and pure, steadfast and sure.
Give my a heart for obedience,
Give me a heart for you.
2. Lord I want my life to be
More of you and less of me.
Look into your face and never turn away.
Just one thing that I know
Is to follow you wherever you go.
My heart is light and still,
When I am following your will.
Bridge: Just one look and I see
That with you is where I long to be.
My heart is light and still,
When I am following your will.

Fallow Ground
04:34
|
|||
|
Chorus: Break up your fallow ground.
Plow up your barren fields.
Reap of the harvest of unfailing love.
Sowing for righteousness
Seeking the master, that he may bring down
His rain from above.
1. Much of our lives is wasted and barren,
Empty of all that the Lord has to give.
Where is the seed that we should be planting?
Where is the harvest He wants us to live?
2. Honour the Lord with all of your being.
Offer the bounty of all that you are.
Then will your hearts be filled with his plenty.
Bursting with life, and the joy of new wine.

Sacrifice
05:15
|
|||
|
1. Touch my lips with your fire.
Make it all that I desire.
Brand your mark on my heart
Until it's like a burning pyre.
Light a flame in my soul,
So that everyone will know
I am yours, ever and always.
Here I offer up myself to you a sacrifice.
2. Take my guilt and my shame,
Burn it o'er and o'er again.
Fill my mouth with your embers
'Til I'll never be the same.
Like a candle in the night.
Sending out a welcome light.
Make me yours, ever and always.
Here I offer up myself to you a sacrifice.
Bridge: Your words burn in me Lord,
Like a molten fire, running through my veins.
Reaching to the core of my being.
Make me pure again.
Your words burn in me Lord.
For they are the truth, burning from within.
For your words are strong, strong and mighty,
Convicting me of sin.
Oh make me pure again.
3. Here I am use me now,
I won't question why or how.
Take my life as an offering
As before your throne I bow.
I am yours, do your will,
Let it work in me until
I am yours, ever and always.
Here I offer up myself to you a sacrifice.
Here I offer up myself to you a sacrifice.

Throwing Stones
05:57
|
|||
|
1. Met a man on the street today.
Can't believe the things I said to him.
All the anger bottled up inside came rolling off my tongue.
What I'd give to take the whole thing back,
Turn the clock, and do it all again.
And it kills me that I'll never know the pain I left behind.
What I held in my hand was a hard, cold stone.
I can't take back what I've thrown.
Chorus: So Father forgive me.
I don't know why you love me.
When I look in my soul I see,
Heaven's a long walk home for me.
2. Sometimes when I open up my mouth.
All this garbage keeps on falling out of it.
I just don't know what to do with all the anger in my heart.
Let it go, or let the whole thing slide?
I don't know, could I really be that cool?
If the world calls conscience foolishness,
Then I'd rather be a fool.
What I held in my hand was a hard, cold stone.
I can't take back what I've thrown.
Chorus: So Father forgive me.
I don't know how you love me.
When I look in my soul I see,
Heaven's a long walk home for me.
Ev'ry word leaves a mark,
For good or evil given.
All the things I do on earth
Are stored up there in heaven.
When I stand there with this stone
Held tightly in my hand,
I hope I'll understand, please help me understand,
That the very stone I threw, I really threw at you.
What I held in my hand was a hard, cold stone.
I can't take back what I've thrown.
Chorus: Father forgive me.
I just want to be worthy.
When I look in my soul I hope you'll see.
Heaven's not all that far for me.
When I look in my soul I hope you'll see.
Heaven's not all that far for me.

7. |

|
Chorus: I will heal their faithlessness.
Loving them freely, making them holy.
When my anger has turned from them,
It is I who look after my own.
1. I will be like the dew to my people.
They will blossom as the lily of the meadows and fields.
Their roots will go down like a mighty tree,
And spread out across this land, and spread out across this land.
2. Their beauty will shine as the olive.
Their love will be a fragrance like the cedar and pine.
They shall return in my shadow to dwell,
And flourish across this land, flourish across this land.
3. They will need no other idols.
I will provide them the fruit for their souls.
I am the tree that is towering above them,
Holding them in my hand, holding them in my hand.

Beggar Child
04:10
|
|||
|
1. Beggar child you stand upon my street,'
Holding out your hand, "Give me something to eat!"
And if I talk with you awhile, then you smile.
How can you smile?
Chorus: For I am a beggar too.
Oh Lord, can I beg from you,
Compassion for this beggar child I see,
And forgiveness for me.
2. Beggar child I see you in my mind.
Calling out to me, "I am poor. I am blind!"
And if I listen to your plea,
Will I see? What will I see?
Out of the dirt, out of your poverty,
So freely giving of your joy of life to me.
3. Beggar child you reach into my heart,
Calling out to me, "Come and make a new start!"
And surely as I learn to walk with you,
I will find, the Lord Jesus too.

Still Your Child
04:45
|
|||
|
1. Lord, I lost my way. Lost my focus, couldn't find your face.
Wand'ring in the dark, thinking I would never feel the grace
Of you in my life.
How could I keep breathing without you?
And just when I thought all hope was lost,
I turned around and found you there.
Just when I thought all hope was lost,
You turned around and found me there.
Chorus: So be my mother, be my father, be my everything.
I need your love. Hold me in your arms again.
In my living and my dying let your will be done.
I confess that I am still your child.
2. Like a little child, caught up in the sight of pretty things.
Letting go your hand,and finding that I'd lost the only thing
That gave me life.
How could I keep living without you?
And just when I thought all hope was lost,
I turned around and found you there.
Just when I thought all hope was lost,
You turned around and found me there.
I will try to stay here beside you, right where I belong.
But I know I may be distracted. Lord I'm not that strong.
Please be in my life, can't keep going without you.
Going without you, going without you, going without you.

This House
07:25
|
|||
|
1. This house has stood for many years.
She's been around awhile.
Her walls still standing true and straight
On this quarter section mile.
The wind has blown around her,
Yet she stands strong through it all.
The rain, and snow, and winter storms
Have never, no never made her fall.
Chorus: You know you can't build a house overnight.
You need some strong construction.
You just got to build it right.
No you can't build a house overnight.
2. You cannot build your house on sand,
Or it will wash away.
You've got to build upon the rock,
If you're wanting it to stay.
So you build a good foundation,
Just to build your house upon.
It's time, and care, and energy,
That make, that make the structure strong.
Bridge: A house, a home, a man, a life.
What will the story say,
When breath is gone and all we know
Has all been blown away.
3. Our body is the dwelling place
For the spirit of the Lord.
He builds upon our hearts and minds
With His holy living Word.
For He is the foundation,
He's the one we build upon.
His grace and love our cornerstone,
To build, to build His kingdom on.
This house has stood for many years.
She's been around awhile.

Once Again
04:42
|
|||
|
1. When you call my heart away, I thank you for another day.
I ask you Lord to lay your hand upon my life once again.
Look into my heart and see, and show me what you find in me.
The good, the bad, I want to know, and then I want to let it go.
Chorus: Once again I come to you and seek the peace that I find in you.
Every hour of every day, Father i need you all the way.
And, once again I seek your face, you are my refuge and hiding place.
For this moment and once again.
2. Teach me Father how to be the very best that I can be.
Forgive my sin, and heal my pain, and know my heart once again.
In this moment, for this hour, let me feel your mighty power.
The more time that I spend with you, the more that I am wanting to.

I Believe
05:00
|
|||
|
1. I believe in the Spirit of the earth.
I believe in the Spirit of the sky.
I believe that my life will one day show its worth.
I believe I will know it by and by.
2. I believe in the Spirit of the land.
I believe in the Spirit of the sea.
I believe that one day I will understand.
I believe God will show it all to me.
Bridge: In my search for truth, I've wandered far from home.
And I know that I have further still to go.
So I'll turn my face toward the rising sun.
I believe that I will find it by and by.
3. I believe God is moving here below.
I believe god is moving up above.
I believe that He knows.
I believe He understands.
I believe that He holds me in His hands.

The Sparrow's Song
06:31
|
|||
|
1. A white-throated sparrow in a tall poplar tree.
Singing to the sky, a mournful lullaby.
And I on the ground, with the earth below my feet,
Could never sing so true, or sound as sweet.
Chorus: This is my Father's world, and to my list'ning ears,
All nature sings, and round me rings, the music of the spheres.
This is my Father's world. I rest me in the thought,
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas--
His hand the wonders wrought.
2. If I could put sound to the music in my soul,
There could never be a sweeter song for me,
Than this simple joyful tune, this playful melody.
A hymn of praise for you, a prayer for me.
Chorus: This is my Father's world. The birds their carols raise.
The morning bright, the lily white, declare their maker's praise.
This is my Father's world, he shines in all that's fair.
In the rustling grass, I hear him pass.
He speaks to me everywhere.
3. Little sparrow sing me your song.
Ev'ry not clear and strong.
I lift my voice and I'll sing along,
The music of the spheres.
Sing praise to our God for sun, and rain, and life, and food,
For rocks, trees, for skies and seas.
His hand the wonders wrought.
His hand the wonders wrought.
