JESUS IS MY FRIEND

Jesus is my friend,
He’s my friend to the very end
He’s the One who I can depend
on to always love me,
always be my friend

Jesus is my Lord
He’s my Lord and I love His Word
It’s the best word I’ve ever heard
I will always love Him
Always love my Lord

Jesus is my guide
Through the storm or the bumpy ride
All my life He is there beside me
He’ll always love me,
always be my guide

Jesus is the One
He’s the One, He’s the Only Son
Through the cross that He died upon
We can live for ever
Ever, with the Son

HOW WONDERFUL

A ripple on the water,

A tiny grain of sand,

The wonders all around me

touched by His mighty hand

The breeze that stirs the grasses,

a gull that soars above

The glories of all nature

created by His love

The flowers in all their beauty

turn faces to the sun

In praise to their Creator,

The glorious Heavenly one.

Change key and repeat above 3 verses

Followed by:

The flowers in all their beauty

turn faces to the sun

In praise to their Creator,

The glorious Heavenly one.

ETERNAL

I’ll shuffle off this mortal coil,
but I shall never die
For I shall live for ever,
and here’s the reason why

Jesus conquered mortal death
the day He died for me
He suffered so that you and I
for ever can be free

And when I gave my life to Him,
He gave it back and more
He gave me life eternal,
He opened up the door

So now I live rejoicing,
each day a gift of love
I thank and praise you, Father,
my precious Lord above
my precious Lord above

This also began as a poem (Come Now), some years ago

Listen on youtube       to be added!
THE GREATEST LOVE
(Come Now)

How Jesus must weep and feel the pain
when someone on earth denies His Name
The sorrow He feels no-one can tell
when He sees a soul on the road to hell

chorus
The greatest love the world has ever known
The greatest love can be your own
If you will follow me
Then the greatest love the world has ever known
will set you free

He suffered and died, that soul to save
His life and His love, His all He gave
Salvation He gives, priceless yet free
“To all who believe and will follow Me”

Chorus as above

Change key
He shed His blood, now He sheds His tears
for all the lost souls throughout the years
He weeps for YOU now, don’t waste a day
but come to your Saviour, while you may

Chorus as above

This is definitely one of my favourites

KEEP ME SAFE

Keep me safe, Father God, in your arms
Safe from harm, Father God, in your arms
Let no ill befall me as you walk before me
Keep me safe in your arms, Father God

Guide my life, Father God, day by day
What I do, Father God, what I say
Let my deeds extol thee and my words uphold thee
Guide my life day by day, Father God

Walk with me, Father God, all the way
By my side, Father God, every day
Lead my steps as you guide me
Every moment there beside me
Walk with me, Father God, all the way

Change key

Take my hand, Father God, and my life
I surrender my trouble and strife
I accept your salvation given free to every nation
Take my hand, Father God, and my life

Take me home, Father God, at the end
Home with You, Father God, as your friend
Let me live life for ever with a joy that ceases never
Take me home, Father God, at the end

Let me live life for ever with a joy that ceases never
Take me home, Father God, at the end

I’VE BEEN THERE

You try to do good in your home town
But the folks all laugh and put you down
So there’s just one thing I have to say
Shake the dust off your shoes and walk away

Chorus:
I’ve been there, so I know just how you feel
I’ve been there, and I know your pain is real
But take my word, as I tell you as a friend
I’ve been there, and it’s worth it in the end

You tell the Good News but they say you’re bad
You show you have faith and they call you mad
So there’s just one thing I have to say
Go somewhere alone and continue to pray

Repeat chorus

True friends will stay beside you there
While others betray you without a care
Just one thing I have to say
Keep on following the Only Way

Repeat chorus

(slowly) When you come to the end and you feel alone
Don’t worry because you’re coming home
Just listen to what I have to say
(faster) and Rejoice in Heaven on Salvation day

Repeat chorus

I began writing this song many years ago but could never get the words or tune right.

I´d always felt it so unfair that people could criticise God but He couldn´t answer back!

In 2009 it just came to me all at once.

GOD TALKING

This is God talking, Listen to Me

This is your God talking, Why can´t you see

I made you, I loved you, I set you free
The choices are yours so don’t you blame it on me
“How could He let it happen” I hear you all say
and it breaks my heart every single day
But if I stepped in and changed everything
You’d just be puppets on a string

This is God talking, Listen to Me

This is your God talking, why can´t you see

I gave you the world and it was so good

But you didn´t treat it in the way that you should

But you´re still my children and this I can say
There’s a better world waiting on your dying day
Everything good, all your dreams come true
Just believe in me – it’s waiting for you

This is God talking, listen to Me

This is your God talking, why can´t you see

I said from the start, you´re free to choose

It´s your decision if you win or you lose

I can never break a promise, or go back on my word

And it hurts me so much, but you must have heard

I´ve told you before, you´re free, you´re free

So don't blame all your problems on me

This is God talking, listen to me,
This is God talking, why can´t you see

This is God talking, listen to me
This is your God talking, listen to me

Whatever you ask, in faith, that will I do
Whatever you ask, believing, shall be given to you

“Indeed I will” said Jesus, “now be clean again”

Ask, it shall be given, seek and you shall find
Knock, it shall be opened, keep these words in mind

IN BETHLEHEM

The angel gave the news to shepherds as in fields they lay
A guiding star shone in the sky to show the kings the way

To Bethlehem, where in a manger Jesus Christ was born
In Bethlehem, a miracle occurred that happy morn
A son was born, to save us all, our holy Lord and King
And so we raise our song of praise and gladly sing

The sheep and cattle looked upon where baby Jesus slept
And in the heavens up above an angel watch was kept
In Bethlehem, where in a manger Jesus Christ was born
In Bethlehem, a miracle occurred that happy morn
A son was born, to save us all, our holy Lord and King
And so we raise our song of praise and gladly sing

Gold, frankincense and myrrh were gifts that at His feet did lay
But priceless is the gift He gave to each of us that day
In Bethlehem, where in a manger Jesus Christ was born
In Bethlehem, a miracle occurred that happy morn
A son was born, to save us all, our holy Lord and King
And so we raise our song of praise and gladly sing

A little life came in the world to bring His gift so rare
The promise of eternal life for all the world to share
In Bethlehem, where in a manger Jesus Christ was born
In Bethlehem, a miracle occurred that happy morn
A son was born, to save us all, our holy Lord and King

Let´s join in praise, For all our days, and gladly sing

TALK WITH ME ABBA

(prayer of the night)
Talk with my Abba until I sleep
Let me hear sweet angels sing
Wrap me in your loving arms
and hide me under your wing

Stay with me Abba until the dawn
Breaks with Your glory anew
Then it will be the way it should be
Together, as one, me and You

I CAN DO ALL THINGS

When I am weak
And feel I can´t go on
I raise my eyes to heaven
And I sing this song

Chorus:
I can do all things, through Him who strengthens me
I can do anything with the One who set me free
Though I am weak, in Him I am strong
For His strength is made perfect in my weakness

When I am sad
And everything seems grim
I lift my heart to heaven
And I sing to Him

Repeat chorus plus

Yes, His strength is made perfect in my weakness

You may think this is morbid or weird - but I wrote it for my funeral!

I actually wrote it more than ten years ago and I hope I don't need it for many more years

But it´s just how I feel - it isn´t the end - it´s a wonderful beginning

WHEN I'M GONE

 

Don't be unhappy, don't be sad

I'll tell you why you should be glad

For Jesus made a solemn vow

and I'm with Him in heaven now

He said "If you believe in Me

You shall have life eternally"

He's always been my faithful friend

from birth to death, from start to end

And now I praise Him all day long

with thankful prayer and joyous song

I ask you to rejoice for me

for God's dear love has set me free
 

change key

Please ask Him into your life too

for there's a place with me for you

Then re-united we shall be

As one, for all eternity

As one, for all eternity
