I remember when we met the first time
Your voice was gentle
And your eyes were so kind
That day I knew our friendship
Would last the test of time
For you were a woman of grace
It’s grace that flowed through every word
And grace is how your voice was heard
The power of grace that carried you along
It’s grace that flowed through every touch
The grace in you I loved so much
The power of grace that made you strong
And now that Grace has led you home
You are home
I remember when you shared your life with me
Your heart was tender
And you loved so freely
That day I knew our friendship
Would last the test of time
For you were a woman of grace
It’s grace that flowed through every word
And grace is how your voice was heard
The power of grace that carried you along
It’s grace that flowed through every touch
The grace in you I loved so much
The power of grace that made you strong
And now that Grace has led you home
You are home

You'll Always Remain
Thankyou for taking your place in our heart
For sharing and caring
For playing your part
To mould us and shape us
And rise us in faith
To hold us, to heal us,
And sometimes to wait
And watch as we grew
As we wrestled with God
To show us His will
His purpose in all
His way of renewal
Each time we would fall
You prayed and encouraged
Believed and rebuked
You let US be real
You let us see YOU
And now in this season
When you've moved away
Less things do we share
As we live day to day
But though you have gone
And things aren’t the same
Your impact on us
Will always remain
For sharing and caring
For playing your part
To mould us and shape us
And rise us in faith
To hold us, to heal us,
And sometimes to wait
And watch as we grew
As we wrestled with God
To show us His will
His purpose in all
His way of renewal
Each time we would fall
You prayed and encouraged
Believed and rebuked
You let US be real
You let us see YOU
And now in this season
When you've moved away
Less things do we share
As we live day to day
But though you have gone
And things aren’t the same
Your impact on us
Will always remain
You are the Potter
You, You saw my pain
You saw how I’d been hurt again
You, You felt my shame
You felt my heart’s cry again
Coz You are the Potter
And I am the clay
You know my heart’s cry
And You made me this way
You’ve been in my place
And You made it through by grace
I will do the same
You saw how I’d been hurt again
You, You felt my shame
You felt my heart’s cry again
Coz You are the Potter
And I am the clay
You know my heart’s cry
And You made me this way
You’ve been in my place
And You made it through by grace
I will do the same
Worth It All
If I only had a taste
Just one tiny glimpse
Of all the love you feel
For those away from You
I’d hear the call
And know it was worth it all
Make my heart beat like Yours
Make my eyes see the beauty
Such precious souls inside
Masked by the broken lives
Your image restored
I know that it’s worth it all
As I see what you see
As I know what you know
As I feel Your heart’s cry
There’s no stopping me proclaiming You
As I say what You said
As I do what You did
As I share Your heart’s cry
I know that it’s worth it all
Its worth it all
It’s worth every moment
It’s worth it all
It’s worth every moment
It’s worth it all
I know it’s worth it all
Just one tiny glimpse
Of all the love you feel
For those away from You
I’d hear the call
And know it was worth it all
Make my heart beat like Yours
Make my eyes see the beauty
Such precious souls inside
Masked by the broken lives
Your image restored
I know that it’s worth it all
As I see what you see
As I know what you know
As I feel Your heart’s cry
There’s no stopping me proclaiming You
As I say what You said
As I do what You did
As I share Your heart’s cry
I know that it’s worth it all
Its worth it all
It’s worth every moment
It’s worth it all
It’s worth every moment
It’s worth it all
I know it’s worth it all
This Season Has Taught Me How
This season has taught me how
To care but not carry
To bear but not worry
To share but not drop
To lean but not squash
To clean but not wipe away
To shine but not hide the grey
To know but be ready to ask
To work but to love the task
To wait but not stay the same
To play but not cause a shame
To fight but with perfect aim
To forget but not from where I came

When God Calls His People to Pray
When I look
At this place
Seeing eyes in the crowd
Seeing doubts on their face
When I look
At this world
Seeing need in their lives
Wishing hope to unfold
I see hearts rising up
I see minds work as one
I hear prayer for the nation
That brings heaven down
And I know
We’ll see a brighter day
When God calls His people to pray
At this place
Seeing eyes in the crowd
Seeing doubts on their face
When I look
At this world
Seeing need in their lives
Wishing hope to unfold
I see hearts rising up
I see minds work as one
I hear prayer for the nation
That brings heaven down
And I know
We’ll see a brighter day
When God calls His people to pray

My Redeemer
"For I know that my Redeemer lives,
And He shall stand at last on the earth."
Job 19:25 NKJV
For now this is how I exist
Within a barren land, a wilderness
I look across the plain
No sign of coming rain
Not seeing any change
Not for now
Not for now
But I will sing to the Lord
Lift my voice, strike a chord
With my hands open wide
Let it flow from the inside
I know He will stand
He will take His command
Yes I know my Redeemer lives!
For now this is where I belong
No answers for why things are wrong
Just a promise He’s near
That there’s no need to fear
And there’s purpose I’m here
It’s enough
It’s enough
So I will sing to the Lord
Lift my voice, strike a chord
With my hands open wide
Let it flow from the inside
I know He will stand
He will take His command
Yes I know my Redeemer lives!
He will stand
He will stand
I am safe in His hands
He will stand
He will stand
I know my Redeemer lives!
