I needed loving And you came, came to love me Oh, I wanted, I wanted my own way Then you opened my eyes, so I could see Now, I’m living my life for Jesus And He’s living His life through me He’s picked up all my broken pieces And He’s taking good care, good care of me I walked down life’s lonely streets Gazing in the eyes of people passing by Cold stares, planes and time quivered as I did meet The child of God who showed me the way Now, I’m living my life for Jesus And He’s living His life through me He’s picked up all my broken pieces And He’s taking good care of me He’s taking good care, good care of me Yes He’s taking good care, good care of me Oh He’s taking good care, mighty good care of me

I can do it on my own How many times have I said that phrase I can do it on my own Yet my life was just a maze An endless dark highway of confusion Leading nowhere quickly around the bend I’m a self made man can’t ya see it I stand alone a man among men My record proves all my achievements Only trouble I had no real friends For a friend is someone you can depend on Steadfast in love through the very end Then one day I decided Not to continue on in despair If life had meaning I had to find it Only a fool goes on who doesn’t care I laid aside the façade I was wearing Humbly looked upon the cross he did bare In His eyes I was proud and stubborn A disgusting offence to His way I turned around looked unto Him His love melted my chains away I saw the light of life within Him I know the truth and He set me free To some this will be just another story To others just another song But if you don’t know my Lord Jesus Ask Him soon and before long If you mean it from your heart, he will show you His Way, His Truth, and His love I can’t do it without Him He supplies the very breath that I breathe I can’t do it without Him For in Him I receive all my needs He bestows His loving kindness on His children Tenderly taking care of His family’s needs Without Him all will perish and be forsaken With Him all will live, in love, eternally

Love is 02:47
Love is patient, Love is Kind Forever knowing, forever mine I’ll be in Love, forever more For I have entered through Love’s door Love beckons with open arms Casts out fear and all alarm Brings peace to a troubled heart Gives life a brand new start Love is What love gives Its the life you live In Love Love will cause your heart to rest Of everyone to think the best Love endures it never fails Love is Light and shall prevail Love is What love gives He’s the life you live In Love God is Love

You who have ears pray drink thee of my message Counsel in your hearts the words of my song In time past, I have considered If life is worth the living To everything there is a season Time to be born then die Questioned I is life worth living This I must know said I Set out I upon my journey I found despair in the hearts of men Man killing his brother Wars from the beginning of time All I found under the sun Was vanity of man’s mind In my search I found folly Working wisely at earthly chores She was empty and useless Her portion your just reward So I turned and I considered Was there really a Lord Well I called upon the name of the Lord He opened to me the gates of righteousness Graciously He rendered me love Touched me with understanding Set me in His courts of praise Gave me life for eternal days Behold how good and how pleasant It is for brothers to dwell together In the unity of the Lord Like a precious ointment poured Running down my face and beard Wiping away all my fears All the rivers run into the sea Yet the sea it is not full Unto the place from which the rivers come To there and from there they return Does your life have meaning Say I this you must learn Now I’ll close, thank you for listening Seek in wisdom and you to shall find Purpose to life and meaning in a world of troubled times Peace that passes understanding Unity with the Divine

Childcare, belly dancing, and macramé Maybe you’re into a Shakespeare play Metalwork, fencing, oceanography Maybe your game is psycho-therapy ‘Bout all these things I’d like to say They’re only here for today There’s more to life than things to do Open your eyes you’ll find it’s true Clarinet, marketing, a degree in law They’re all nice, but have a similar flaw Accordion.. all the way to… zoology Look very closely and you will see Not to put your faith in finite things Money, cars, or diamond rings Cause when your time on earth does end You won’t be takin’ them with my friend In the end, Amen
9.
Let’s build the kingdom children Walkin’ hand in hand We’ll handle our enemies by lovin’ them Where there is sadness we’ll bring joy to people’s hearts We’ll handle violence by sufferin’ Together, we will build His kingdom ‘Cause Christ gave man a new way to live And don’t despair ‘cause there’s hope in Jesus Stick it through with the Lord in prayer You show wisdom with faith in your brothers Open your hearts to understand In all you do, do all for the sake of Love Love is God and He is Jesus Together, we will build His kingdom ‘Cause Christ gave man a new way to live And don’t despair ‘cause there’s hope in Jesus Stick it through with the Lord Stick it through with Jesus Holy Spirit help us in our prayers

Blessed is the man who’s firmly planted Like a tree planted by a stream of water, living water Like a tree yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither So shall you be if you are he La da da… Blessed is the man who lives by the law of love His shall be the fruit of righteousness Peace in abundant supply La da da…

Once there was a Nazarene Who walked a lonely road He carried on His shoulders A great and heavy load Persisting in the way of love He drew men to His side Giving to them the truth He was He gave to men new Life Do en do… He taught among the multitudes He healed the sick and blind He showed to men the only way Showing them the light Accused before the governor He spoke not a word Innocent of the charges made Yet beaten on and scourged Do en do… Crowned with thorns and spit upon The lonely way He trod Deserted by His followers He was crucified by the mob He died that day on Calvary And was laid within the earth He conquered over death and sin To give men new birth Do en do… He rose from the dead victorious And He showed Himself to men His earthly body glorified He ascended to come again He now sits at the right hand Of His Father, God To judge the earth in righteousness And in His Holy love Do en do… Once there was a Nazarene Who walked a lonely road He carried on His shoulders A great and heavy load Do en do…

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there’s despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy O Divine Master grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console to be understood, as to understand to be loved as to love for it is in giving that we receive it is in pardoning that we are pardoned and it is dying that we are born to eternal life (repeats)

Let no man think more highly Of himself than he ought to Be not wise in your own eyes But instead, keep your head Give yourself to your brother Hold not on to your own life The Master calls us all to die To our selfishness Truly I say to you Whatever you do to your brother Truly I say to you Whatever you do to another Shall be done unto you the same… the same The Master calls Love one another As I have loved you Live in peace with your brothers Soon I’ll come, heed the call
