Sunrise 04:11
SUNRISE From nothing, OUR CREATOR formed all life Spinning earth, OUR MAKER formed day and night New every morning, are His mercies to us… From nothing, OUR CREATOR formed all life All the laws of our conscience, wrong and right New every morning, are His mercies to us… All the Earth, reflects His beauty, and His love
2.
Weeds 02:35
WEEDS In the garden, it was good Everything perfect, it was good... so good When we fell Taking more than was given Trust was torn... Now life’s hard to live Trying so hard to give our heart to God When we fell Breaking laws that were given Death was born...
3.
Promises 03:40
PROMISES Though the storms may shake us God is everywhere Though the fog may thicken God will guide us and always be there... God is dependable Over all He’s powerful, yet loving all He’s made We can trust Him with every promise He’s ever made to us God is dependable Walking down that road Don’t know what’s ahead God will go before us And behind us, beside us, that’s what He said..
4.
Thorns 03:42
THORNS For God so loved the world He gave us His One and Only Son, He died for everyone... He willingly took the pain for us He hung there until it was done, died for everyone... Jesus took our sin and threw it down Jesus took our pain and wore a crown Our King forevermore Jesus wore our thorns... For God so loved the world He saved us And all who will believe, eternal life receive... He left His Kingdom far behind, entering time... He set His Kingly crown aside, and then He died...
5.
Noon 02:00
NOON “IT IS FINISHED” are the only 3 words that can be used to describe the moment Jesus died on the cross (and I couldn't even figure out how to fit them into this song)
6.
Deliverance 04:29
DELIVERANCE Now my chains are gone, You’ve thrown them away You have given me life, with You I will stay Even though my sin at times is calling my name I turn to You Lord and i find, You’ve taken my shame Now I’m free... Forever free... I offer You my heart, I believe You’re the way I trust You with my life, with You I will stay Forever free... Forever...
7.
Flowers 03:21
FLOWERS Feel the wind blow in our face Feel the stirring in our heart The Spirit of the LORD is calling us He’s loved us from the start Holy Spirit fill our life Shine through our clouded mind Holy Spirit help us know your love And let our little light shine We see flowers in the field Their beauty comes from You We don’t ever have to worry Your love will see us through
8.
Restoration 02:26
RESTORATION Shine your love in our life Remind our soul of Your Word Because You’re walking with us everyday We can shine on, shine on Shine your peace in our life Restore our heart to Your will Because You’re walking with us everyday We can shine on, shine on Lord, sometimes we walk away And turn our back on Your good advice But even so, we hear You say “Come on back, let’s make this right”
9.
Sunset 05:41
SUNSET Someday the sun will go down Someday life will be no more And all we’ve said and all we’ve done Will just be memories... Will they be worth remembering? OUR CREATOR... help us be thankful for the life You’ve breathed into us... OUR SAVIOUR... help us be mindful of the life You’ve offered for us... OUR HELPER... help us be open to the life You’re dreaming for us... If all we’ve said if all we’ve done Has brought honour to You... Then our life will be worth remembering

about

HYMNS? Why Hymns? Well, first of all, I’m not sure that these
songs are actually genuine hymns. But they are songs about God.
And they describe who God is and how He connects with us as
humanity (and that’s what most Hymns are like).

I believe the Bible is God’s true statement of who He is and how
He loves us. And I believe God’s love is for everyone.
I thought it would be good to write songs that clearly reflect
what I believe to be true of God. My hope is that these songs
can be an encouragement for anyone who hears them.
That everyone would consider how to deepen their
relationship with the God who loves so deeply.
