My Own Songs

Ok, so on this page I will publish some of the lyrics to songs I have written. Please feel free to comment either positively or negatively. Being a music student I've developed a very thick skin when it comes to my music so please be honest. 

Treasure
Verse 1
Lord your name is awesome in this earth
Your glory reaches high
Higher than the heavens
In you the weak receive their strength
In you they will succeed
The enemy will flee
Chorus
When I look at your Heavens
The work of your fingers
The sun the moon and stars
It fills me with wonder
How you could love me?
Why would you care?
And yet I know you love me so
I'm treasure in your eyes
Verse 2
Lord you are a God of love and might
You clothe us with your love
You fill us with your strength
To those who call upon your name
You provide a crown
Of glory and honour


Redeemed
Verse 1
Redeemed how I love to proclaim it
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb
Redeemed through his infinite mercy
His child forever I am
Chorus
I'm redeemed I'm redeemed
By the blood of the Lamb
Redeemed, I'm redeemed
His child forever I am
Verse 2
Redeemed and so happy in Jesus
No language my wonder can tell
I know that the light of his presence
With me will eternally dwell
Verse 3
And when upon calvary's mountain
He died for a world full of wrong
The grave with its grip could not hold him
He arose and this now is my song
Verse 4
And now we await for his coming
To rule as our triumphant king
He'll raise us from earth to his glory
Our praise will eternally ring


Shine
Verse 1
When we call on you, you hear

When we cry you hear our call

When we falter you restore us.

In the darkness you shine

Verse 2

God of justice hear our prayer

Bring the lost into your arms

Let them see that you are Saviour

And that You can save them

Chorus

Light of the world,

Hope for the nations lies in you and you alone

Giver of Life

Move us to action, filled with compassion

Let us shine Christ the Light of the World

Verse 3

God of power hear our prayer

Give us confidence in you

Let us go into our city

And tell them that you reign

Bridge

God of mercy

Three times Holy

It’s your glory

We live for

In your power
Move among us
And raise your son for all to see.

Jesus Christ
Verse 1

A perfect man, beaten and bruised,

Nails in His hand, thorns in His head,

For me.

A righteous man, rejected by men,

Silently suffers and hangs on a tree,

For me.

Chorus

This is Jesus Christ, this is the Son of God,

Pure, spotless Lamb, Redeemer, The Saviour

He is Gods only Son, the beauty of Heaven,

Broken for me, broken for you

Verse 2

A loving man, takes all my sin,

All of my wrong, makes them His own,

For me.

A merciful God, rejects His own son,

My debt is cleared, I can go free,

Through Him.

CHORUS

Bridge

He came as our rescue plan,

He came to bring us to God,

To redeem us to Him.

His blood alone makes us whole

It washes whiter than snow

Forever I am clean

Verse 3

A reigning King, is coming again,

Ruler of all, Judge of the world,

Praise Him.

The ruler of all, is our Great Reward

Forever we'll praise and glorify Him

Praise Him.

Final Chorus

This is Jesus Christ, this is the Son of God,

Pure, spotless Lamb, Redeemer, The Saviour

He is Gods only Son, the beauty of Heaven,

Saviour for me. For me.

Your Rule

Let us be a shining light

Telling all the world, of Your mercy and grace

And Your kingdom O Lord we pray

For Your rule and Your reign

And Your kingdom let it come on earth

Let it come on earth

But our sinful lives as a gift to the King

We ask that You take us and mould us like clay

For the use of Your church to the praise of Your name

Bridge

We have nothing to give that has not come from You

May we offer it up now in spirit and truth.

You called us and loved us before time began

And You saved us from sin into salvation's plan

In deep surrender and highest praise

Lord we give You our lives

And Your name we raise

Take us, shape us through Your truth

That we may live our lives for You.

Psalm 139 - You Are There

Verse 1

O Lord You have searched me and You know me

And You know the things I do

If I rise up to the mountains

Or I hide in the valley below

You are there You are there

Chorus

Father show me, Spirit lead me

Let me know the way I should go

For You hold me and You love me

And You never let me go

You are there You are there

Verse 2

O Lord You have made me and You knew me

Long before the world began

For You chose me and You saved me

From the death that I was owed

You were there You were there

Bridge

Search me O God and know my heart

Try me and know my thoughts

And if there be sin in the way

Remove it from my life

Cause me to follow You my God

And lead me in Your way
