Growing up is a very hard thing to go through, Especially when you want someone to notice you. There was a time I felt worthless, thinking the world should treat me the same, But what happened when I got older, those things changed. There was a time I felt a void in my life. And that people just didn't care as much as they used to. There was a time it seemed as if there was no one left that cared. I didn't know why my expectations got too high. The more I looked into the mirror. The more I see that I have changed. But in spite of all changes, I know that his love will always stay the same. Although this world may forget me, I know that my God will be all I need. In this world, no matter how bad things are, My God will never forget me, Nor abandon me. Loneliness is a very hard thing to go through. Especially when you have no one who's there for you. Searching for love in every which way, but unwanted an unclaimed. Standing all alone without a name. But when I called on YHWH he became so near. And then he wiped away all of my tears. The one true and holy God who gives me hope and joy, Has been the very one to fill that void. The more I look into the mirror. The more I see that I have changed. But in spite of all changes, I know that his love will always stay the same. Although this world may forget me, I know that my God will be all I need. In this world, no matter how bad things are, My God will never forget me, Nor abandon me. To know that he really cares, I will always be aware that I don't ever have to be alone. There he will always be anytime I need love, Anytime I can think of, There he will always be. My God will never forget me.

God's Hands 06:52
Verse 1 Everyone has a time when they reach out for something. And when they do, some don't know where to turn to. They try to fill themselves with all kinds of things, Trying to reach out for that special something. So you tell me that you've been feeling blue, And that your life is nothing much but gloom. So you say you're searching for that special happiness, But there is only one place to find it. Refrain 1 And I've prayed that the Lord would show you the way. That he would give you strength to carry on. To lead you to the promised land, To all the joy you could ever have. You just need to realize (and I pray that you would), That all the happiness you could ever have, Comes from God's Hands. Verse 2 Did you ever know that God alone is all you need? He made what you are, and he knows what you want to be. Don't tell me that God hasn't done much for you. You'll be surprised in all the things he can do. If you turn to him with all your heart and soul, He'd make life into something wonderful. So you say you're searching for that special happiness, But there is only one place to find it. And I've prayed that the Lord would show you the way. That he would give you strength to carry on. To lead you by his mighty hand, To all the joy you could ever have. You just need to realize (and I pray that you would), That all the happiness you could ever have, Comes from God's Hands. Bridge You search in other things to try to fill that void in your life. But when you do it is never filled. You wonder where that happiness could be found. Well, let me tell you God alone can fill any emptiness inside your soul. If you'd only believe he could set you free.

Vs 1 In this world, there are a lot of directions of much confusion. Many people see what they want to see, And with that, they claim to have the victory. But I want to know the truth. I want something that is real. I look to only you for the ultimate truth. And I know that I am lost without you. Refrain You are the light in the darkness that I see. And your word is a light unto my path. When truth cannot be found I find my peace in you. Because you are the one that upholds the truth. You lead me when I lost my way. And you give me hope. For my deliverance, I look to you alone. vs 2 With an open heart, I cried out to you for the truth. You opened up my eyes and saw me through. You brought me back to your word that you have shown. And you showed me things therein that I have never known. And through your word, I found true salvation's way. Knowing the truth, I can no longer be led astray. Refrain You are the light in the darkness that I see. And your word is a lamp unto my feet. When truth cannot be found, I find my peace in you. Because you are the one that upholds the truth. You lead me when I lost my way. And you give me hope. For my deliverance, I look to you alone.

There had been times when I felt so lonely and sad, And tears were rolling down my eyes. I didn't realize how much I needed you in the past, It was something I didn't clearly understand. But going through the storms of life, I found out you were the one my heart so longed for all those years. I need you by my side, especially through those dark and lonely times in my life. Chorus: My spirit cries out to you, Lord I need your love. Oh, how my soul thirsts and longs for you. You're the only one that can ease my pain and pull me through. You're the only one that understands me full of grace and truth. Lord, I need your love. Please draw nigh to me. Lord, I need you. I need your love. Verse 2 Please draw near to me, Lord. I have a broken heart. I come to you. Heal my broken spirit. You are the one who guides me through the night. Oh, how my spirit cries out to you, please heal it! I love you, and I need you, Lord. You're the only one that's there when I feel abandoned by the world. And in this world I see, You are just the one I know who'll always care for me.

The heart of God was filled with much grief, When he saw the corruption of humanity, For they were all sown with the seed of corruption. But Noah found grace in the Lord's eyes, The only pure stock of Adam left alive, And told him of the flood that he would send, To wipe out all of the corrupt flesh on the earth. Oh, he built an ark, And gathered every creature both near and far, Of God's original creation, So He sent a great flood to destroy mankind. The rains came down for 40 days and nights, And every living thing upon earth died, Save all those who were upon the ark inside. When sometime were disobedient, wherein the longsuffering of God, Awaited in the days of Noah while the ark was a preparing, Wherein few, that is; eight souls were saved by water. True are the promises of the Lord. Oh, He stopped the rain. As the sunlight began to shine all around, And the waters began to recede to ground. So he opened the ark's window and door, He sent a white dove out to explore, And when he found dry land, returned no more. True are the promises of the Lord. God had painted up in the clouds so high, A colorful rainbow stretching across the sky, For he had declared that it would be a sign, Of his covenant with the earth, both far and wide, That he would ne'er again flood the earth with rain. To you, as any promise he has ever made, Know God's rainbow of promise still stands today.

Some people would rather stay, In this yard day after day, And be fully satisfied, But something inside drives me away. I have come to realize, Why I know I cannot stay. I want to mount up with wings as eagles, Spread my wings and fly away. Someday, I'm foing to fly, Like an eagle way up high. Someday, I'm going to fly, Like an eagle way up high. They who wait upon the Lord, Shall mount up with wings as the eagles. And sour away (4x) How I wished that I could fly, As my hope was finally told. As I looked up into the sky, In my heart I had a dream I could hold. Some people just don't understand, What it means to be free, To possess such hope and peace, Knowing promises, God will alway keep. Someday, I'm foing to fly, Like an eagle way up high. Someday, I'm going to fly, Like an eagle way up high. They who wait upon the Lord, Shall mount up with wings as the eagles. And sour away (4x) They who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They should mount up with wings as the eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint.

When I close my eyes and dream, Of things I've hoped for yet unseen, Of one who would sweep me off my two feet, The way I've always dreamed that it would be. But when you showered your prescense on me, It was then I knew true love found me! Ohhhh Years I have longed for one I knew I would give my heart to. One who would always be there for me. And you tell me you will never leave. For you are love when no one is around. Your the true love that I have found. Ohhhh Where is Love when you need it? You are love when I need it! For you love has healed this broken heart, YHWH Where is love when you need it? You are love when I need it. For your love has fulfilled this void in my heart! You are love when no one cares, You're the person to love when no one is there. I no longer have to feel lonely, Searching for that true love one and only. Trying to reach out for that one true love? All I have to do is look above. Ohhhh

1st verse I once wondered in an unknown land. In my mind I could see it, hand in hand. I saw a glorious light, Shining down as a star in the sky, Piercing through the darkness of the blackest night. A stairway to heaven appeared before my eyes. Refrain: Marching up the path to Zion, In that moment I saw I was moving on. A gentle breeze in the air, I felt the wonder of gladness, With the clouds around me, In the Dream of Zion. 2nd Verse: To the moment I have been waiting for, Marching up the stairway to heaven's door. Walking along the golden road, The truth revealed was widely known. More and more I could see in the dream, The city of Zion as a bright gleam. Bridge: When I saw I was on top of the clouds, I could hear the angels singing aloud, Beautiful music and voices of worship. And the higher I went the more I could hear. I heard the thunder a roar, As the trumpet sounded from the east. 3rd Verse: Looking upon the earth beneath, I could see the things I could not believe, The oceans were no more, Upon the new Earth that is in store. I walked through gates of pearl through heaven's door. The everlasting kingdom reigns for ever more.

Oh Lord, whom I fear; while storms rise will you be near? I have cried to you, to be sure that you are here. For a greater treasure none could ever embrace. Lord, full of grace, day by day I seek you face. You're the one who sends the rain. You're the ancient of days. With your power and wisdom you could seize the wind. Will you rise and calm the storm? The very winds obey your voice. My heart will not fear as long as you are near. Oh Lord, as you speak; will you calm the wind and sea? I give you my plea to know you will intervene. For a greater wonder none could ever fear. Even as I pray, you'll make dark clouds disappear. Though the tempest may roar round about, I know where my help can be found. My help is found in you. To you, as I speak; are sent angels from their King, To fight for me and put my enemies underneath my feet. Though darkness may travail, you will not fail. For I'll rise again, and the light I know will prevail.

Verse 1 People always speak of what they think is truth, As many different voices in the world do. But if I put my trust in your unchanging truth, Your hand will lead me through. Refrain 1 I give my all to you, No matter what the world decides to do. I will follow you all of my days. With every step I'll walk the narrow way, To bring glory to your name. I'm all yours. 2nd verse It has been a dream of mine to build and to create. I will boldly use it to glorify your name. You have placed a hope in my that's given me great faith. I will build for you 'till I reach heaven's gate. 2nd Refrain I give my all to you, No matter what the world decides to do. I will build for you all of my days. And in every way acknowledge your great strength, I received from you by faith. I'm all yours. Bridge 1 I will follow you all of my days. With every step I'll walk the narrow way. I will use this dream of mine to build and to create. I will boldly use it to glorify your name. You will never give your glory to any mere man. Everything that's good in us comes from your mighty hand. 2nd Bridge From beginning to the end, your legacy remains. Age to age your still the same, and you will never change.
