Songs from ‘Scars’
Hebrews 4.12
The Word of God is alive and active
Sharper than a two-edged sword
Today if you hear His voice
Do not harden your hearts
Today if He speaks to you
Do not harden your hearts
Nothing in all of creation
Is hidden from God
Laid bare before the One
To whom we give account
DECLARATION
All Scripture is God-breathed, it’s useful for teaching:
rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.
That the servant of God may be fully equipped
for every good work. 2 Timothy 3.16-17
The Lord Heals the Brokenhearted
Psalm 147.3
The Lord heals the brokenhearted
And He binds up their wounds
How good and how pleasant it is
To sing praises to our God
How good and how pleasant and fitting
To praise His holy name
The Lord helps the humble in heart
But casts the wicked away
Sing to the Lord in your heart
With grateful praise
The Father Seeks Worshippers
In Spirit and in Truth
For God is Spirit, we worship Him
In Spirit and in Truth John 4.23-24
Coming of the Lord
James 5.8
We’re one day closer to the Lord’s return
When fire from the heavens it will burn
The hearts of many overcome by fear
As the coming of the Lord draws near
Satan tries to intercept your thought
He’s filled with fury cos his time is short Rev 12.12
His strategy is plain and it’s so clear
As the coming of the Lord draws near
The church of Jesus Christ under attack
But the weapons of our warfare we don’t lack
The battle is the Lord’s, its not unclear
As the coming of the Lord draws near
The battle lines are stark
Two kingdoms light and dark today, hey hey
From the Book of Revelation
A stunning educational display, hey hey
Don’t you be alarmed, don’t be deceived
The Man of Lawlessness will be revealed
And rebellion will occur, do you hear 2 Thes 2.3
As the coming of the Lord draws near
Red Red Blood of Jesus
1 John 1.7
The sacrifice of Jesus
The blood He shed on the cross
Was the price He paid for the sin of the world
His spilled blood and torn flesh
Is life to those who accept Him
It’s a mystery why He had to die for our sins
We can’t understand the suffering of the Lord
Or why this was the plan of a loving Father
We can’t comprehend sacrificial love
But through Jesus, but through Jesus
Salvation comes
O the red red blood of Jesus
O the red red blood of Jesus
O the red red blood of Jesus It cleanses me, it cleanses me
The Gift
John 3.16 Revelation 22.17
I look back on my life
A chequered life it’s been
I’m known as Mister Nice Guy
No one sees the turmoil within
Anne led me to the Narrow Path
Showed me the way
Jesus was my Saviour
I’m lost, lost for words to say..
Jesus born in a stable
The Saviour of the world
A love gift for humanity
The Fathers plan.. revealed
Jesus was born to die, oh my
Such a humble birth
But such a brutal death, oh my
Will I take it to the Cross.. all my sin?
Jesus died for me.. will I live for him?
We each live our lives
Like a checkerboard of chess
We’re known by our actions
Inner deeds we don’t confess
We ignore the Narrow Path
Choose to turn away
Yet Jesus, still the Saviour
And we’re lost, lost without a way
Jesus born in a stable
The Gift that keeps on giving
A love gift for humanity
Jesus died.. our sins forgiving
He offers us the Gift of Life
We turn our face away
(..we choose to turn away)
But on the day we stand before Him
What will we say..
About The Gift, the Fathers Gift of Life..
Jesus the Gift, the Fathers Gift of Life…
Jesus died for me.. will I live for him?
Life Is A Journey
Philippians 2.12
Life is a journey, filled with scarred memories
A canvas, a silver painting
A photograph of much better days
Look at my bleeding fist
See my pleading heart
Life is a journey
We’re right back at the start
Life is a journey
A broken picture, turned into a song
Wasted moments, lost horizons
Muddled thoughts seem all wrong
But look, a lamppost in the evening mist
Across the estuary, and off into the night
A distant moonrise through tangled trees
See the blue heron take flight!
But walk I do and walk I must
Through forests of cathedral green
Past stone sheds, barbed wire and rust
The pain dissolves into a dream
Reflections in a darkened window pane
Who is this pilgrim, I ask again
An aging vagabond, gone with the rain
See the sandpiper, the speckled wren!
The speckled wren
Life is a journey
Filled with sacred memories
A stolen canvas, a faded painting
A phonograph of much better days
Look at my bleeding fist
See my pleading heart
Life is a journey
Even though it’s been ripped apart
(But Jesus says)
Look at my nailed fist, see my bleeding heart
Your life is a journey, I’ve set you apart
Your life is a journey, I’m calling you apart
Life is a journey, I’m calling you to My heart

SCARS
Galatians 6.17
There’s a scar upon my face
A distant time, a distant place
Years have passed, years have gone
One more day, a troubled dawn
A troubled dawn
An unseen scar upon my heart
An unseen life ripped apart
Emotions sunk without a trace
All that’s left this scar upon my face
There’s a scar on the arm of my friend
She succumbed to self-harm in the end
But it’s not the end!
In the night I see a star
I play my life, play my guitar
Oh is heaven beyond my reach
As I walk, as I walk this lonely beach
Jesus comes as I retreat:
‘See my hands, see my feet
Put your hand in my side
Open your heart, open your eyes real wide
In Me you must abide….’
The story of your scar
Does not define who you are
A healed wound tells your story
Healed for, healed for God’s glory:
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Lamb who was slain
Jesus took my scars with his scars
Scars with His scars
Shake The Earth
Isaiah 2.19
When He rises to shake the earth
When He rises to shake the earth
When He rises to shake the earth
When Jesus Christ comes in all His glory!
The Lord Almighty has a day in store for all the proud & lofty
The arrogance of man is brought low, human pride humbled
The Lord alone will be exalted in that day, idols disappear
People flee from the splendor of his majesty.
Isaiah 2.12, 17-19
The sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven
And all the people will mourn because of Him
They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds
Of heaven: with power and great glory. Matthew 24.30
The mystery of lawlessness is already at work..
And the Lawless One will be revealed (the Antichrist)
Who the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth
And destroy with the splendour of His coming.
2 Thessalonians 2.7-8
For You Alone
Philippians 3.8
I’ve stood before such lofty mountains
And I’ve listened to such arrogant kings
I’ve sobbed myself into some sort of oblivion
Before my broken heart sings:
I’m blessed to be in your holy presence
Yes, to stand before your holy throne
I worship you my Saviour, and my holy God
I sing.. I sing for You alone
I’ve traveled through such gloomy forests
I’ve crawled across such windswept plains
I’ve wandered sometimes so aimlessly
Circle back, start over again
But I’m blessed to be in your holy presence
To stand before your holy throne
I worship you my Saviour, and my holy God
I sing.. I sing for You alone
Oh in times of crippling trouble
In days of dark despair
Burdened by relentless grief
Gasping for rarefied air
What friends deserted me, who stayed behind
Who was cruel and heartless Who was soft-hearted and kind?
I bow before such majestic mountains
And I dance before the King of Kings
I worship in the splendor of His holiness
And there my healed heart begins to sing:
I’m so blessed to be in your holy presence
Yes, to stand before your holy throne
I worship you my Saviour and my holy God
I sing.. I sing for You alone
I Will Give You Rest
Matthew 11.28-30
Come to me all who are weary & burdened
And I will give you rest
Take my yoke and learn from me
And I will give you rest
For I am gentle and humble in heart
And I will give you rest
You will find peace for your weary souls
And I will give you rest
My yoke is easy, my yoke is easy
My yoke is easy, my burden is light x2
I will be with you, I will be with you
I will be with you to the end of the age x2
Songs from RIVERS
DARKNESS ON THE FACE Genesis 1.1-5
Darkness on the face of the deep The Spirit is moving…the earth is asleep
The Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters Then God said let there be light and there was light
Darkness at the dawn of time, darkness in the human mind Darkness on the face of the soul The Holy Spirit… reveals the toll The dark night, the dark night of the soul..
Darkness on the face of the deep Darkness on those still asleep Darkness just covers the earth Until the Creator brings new birth Until Jesus Christ returns to Planet Earth
Darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. Genesis 1.2

DESERT SONG Song of Moses, Exodus 15 Travelling in this desert for three days Without finding any water We came to the Oasis of Marah, too bitter to drink We cried out to the Lord, to the Lord our provider And the Lord did a miracle.. to test what we think
The Lord said if you’ll listen to my voice And do what is right Obeying my commands and doing what’s right in my sight Then you wont suffer the diseases I sent on your enemies For I am the Lord who heals you And teaches you what is right
We came to a place called Elim, twelve springs of water And seventy palm trees to give us rest We set up camp and rested by the still water Its in quietness and stillness we found our strength
God is my strength, my song, and God is my salvation I’m singing my heart out to God What a victory through the Red Sea Who compares with you in power, in holy majesty In awesome praises, you wonder-working God
For three days they traveled in the desert without finding water. Exodus 15.22

I FOUND GRACE Song of Noah Genesis 6.8,11,12 I found grace in the eyes of the Lord
Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight, full of violence But I found grace in the eyes of the Lord
How corrupt the earth had become, and people their ways But I found grace in the eyes of the Lord
My human heart is deceitful and desperately wicked…. But God reached down his hand to me To save my soul and family……. I found grace in the eyes of the Lord
How corrupt the earth has become, so full of violence But I found grace in the eyes of the Lord
I found grace in the eyes of the Lord

JOY COMES IN THE MORNING Psalm 30.5 Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning
O Lord my God, I cry out to You and You heal me You bring my soul up from the grave and You heal me You keep me alive.. spare me from the pit.. O Lord my God.. I cry out to You… and You heal me
You were hurt for my wrong-doing, crushed for my sin And You heal me. Punished so I would have peace.. And You heal me. You were beaten so I would be healed And You heal me, Blood of Jesus cleanses me
The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He’ll take great delight in you, in his love he won’t rebuke you But will rejoice over you.. with singing.. Zephaniah 3.17

YOU SEARCH ME Psalm 139 1. You search me Lord and you know me. You know when I sit, when I rise, you know my thoughts from afar, You see my going out, my lying down. You’re familiar with all of my ways, before I speak a word, you already know it. 2. Where can I go from your Spirit, where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you’re there, if I go down to the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea even there your hand will guide me, your hand will hold me fast. 3. For you created my inmost being, knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you for I’m wonderfully made, your works are so awesome. My frame was not hidden from you when I was formed in the secret place. 4. Your eyes saw my unformed body, all my days were written in your book. How precious to me are your thoughts Lord, they outnumber the grains of the sand. Search me Lord and know my heart, test me and my anxious thoughts, see if there’s any offence in me and lead me in the way everlasting.

RUN TO ME John 9.11 Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes He told me to go to Siloam and wash So I washed the mud away… oh, then I could see
Sing in your darkest hour, run to Me Sing in your wilderness, oh yes run to Me Keep your eyes upon Jesus He’s not waiting for you to be perfect Oh.. He says: run to Me
Run in the journey of life, oh yes run to Me Your eyes on the Finish Line, oh yes run to Me We see a mountain of weakness Yet receive the grace to overcome Grace will carry you home, run to Me
Sin crouches at your door, waiting to ensnare you But you must master it, He’ll provide a way

The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed and then I could see. John 9.11

HOLE IN MY HEART Song of Peter There’s a hole in my heart where the pain seeps in A bottomless pit where I can’t win A relentless struggle as I sink in sin A hole in my heart.. where the pain seeps in
There’s a wound in my soul as the pain takes hold Where secrets are hidden as I grow old When assumptions fail and my heart grows cold A wound in my soul.. where the pain takes hold
Life is a crucible, I’m burning to the core A cry from the depths of my being: There’s gotta be more This heart is deceptive, where’s the missing piece Who will tame the flesh, this untamable beast?
There’s an emptiness inside where the pain seeps in An incessant restlessness within My unredeemed nature that sinks in sin A hole in my heart.. where the pain seeps in
Life is a journey to the never-ending shore, A cry from the heart of God: Yes there’s gotta be more: More surrender to My will, I’m the missing peace Humble yourself at the Cross, give yourself to Me (let go)
Peter went outside and wept bitterly. Matthew 26.75

TAKE IT TO THE CROSS Colossians 2.14 My pain is overwhelming, take it to the Cross The darkness like a blanket, take it to the Cross I’m surrounded by cynicism, my life a tale of loss My empty heart is failing, my broken heart is ailing Take it to the Cross
I struggle with temptation, take it to the Cross Lie awake in a bed of sweat, take it to the Cross My friends don’t understand me, this life’s superficial gloss My bleeding heart is crying, my wounded heart is dying Take it to the Cross
Has there ever been a greater life than this one? Of Jesus sacrifice, his love, his pain Was there something more he could’ve done for us Laid down his life for us, forgave us once again
And when my life is over, take it to the Cross When the Book of Life is opened, take it to the Cross Jesus stands before me, and covers my sinful dross My open heart is filling, my surrendered life is willing Take it to the Cross
Having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us, he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. Colossians 2.14-15

Peace will come through fire and through rain Peace will come through anguish and through pain, oh-oh Come into my heart my Saviour, I surrender to your will Peace will come, peace will come
Peace will come through anguish and through pain Peace will come when Jesus comes again, oh-oh Come into my heart sweet Jesus, I surrender to your will Peace will come, peace will come
Jesus said: Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you, not as the world gives. John 14.27

The armies of heaven were following him Riding on white horses and dressed In fine linen, white and clean Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword With which to strike down the nations He’ll rule them with an iron sceptre He treads the winepress of the fury Of the wrath of God Almighty On his robe and on his thigh He has this name written..

Songs from CATACLYSM
EXILE A stranger in a strange land An exile in my own country A vagabond of dubious means A banished scholar unequal to the task A bandit hunted and hounded
A fragile warrior of hope Lambasted in the courtyards Scorned and hanged by a rope.. A ruined sunset of derision A fallen catastrophe of lies A nest of inferiority and failure A straight jacket that binds
Oh and what will you do with me? If I don’t fit your mould Will you pour on me expectation Will you despise the old? But the decrepit have the final say Cos God champions the lost Your forefathers disobedience And it’s impossible to count… the cost
A spider web of indecision Just spreads across my face Timeless lack of motivation Emotions sunk without a trace One last futile condemnation At the church’s poverty of love Brings a wall of defeated purpose That the blinded won’t discover
And the scars upon my face Reveal the bitter pain Born of miscommunication The family fractures once again by Jules Riding Copyright 2010 Elkanah Music www.julesriding.com
BROKEN No one told me, life would be this hard Is there some greater reason for pain and loss No one told me, life would be unkind Is there some greater reason for grief and loss Oh Lord, hear my cry Oh Lord, please hear my cry My heart is hurting, my life is so much history My eyes are flooding, my life is just a mystery.. to me
No one told me, that they loved me Is there some greater reason they didn’t speak My daddy never told me, that he loved me Was there some greater reason, he could not speak Oh Lord, speak to me Oh Lord, please speak to me My heart is hurting, my hopes lie in shreds My mind in darkness, my dreams are all dead.. to me
When you pass through the valley of the shadow of death When you’re in that deep deep valley of indecision Each trial you face, an opportunity to trust Each trial an opportunity to see My reason Oh Lord, help me to see Oh Lord, help me see Your reason My heart is humbled, I fall on my face My will dumbfounded, I receive your grace to me
No one told me, Jesus loves me When I first heard, I was twenty three All those long years, without a Saviour Without the knowledge of who died for me Oh Lord, I see Your face Oh Lord, I see Your beautiful face My heart is broken, I fall in my place My will is vanquished, I stand in Your grace.. to me Amazing grace how sweet the sound.. by Jules Riding Copyright 2010 Elkanah Music www.julesriding.com
MASKS I wear a mask to protect me from the guilt of a failed life With nails through my ambitions With blankets on my emotions With clamps on my expectations And something’s strangling my voice…. I wear a mask to protect me From the guilt of a failed life
I weigh in at the battle with odds a zillion to one Why’s it so very hard to be me Is it something I’ve done? Fear clings like a night gone wrong Emotional crises wreck my song The wind howls like raging animal And some animal is strangling my voice…. I weigh in at the battle with odds a zillion to one
I’m a wreck of a man defeated by defeat Depressed by depression, cheated by a cheat Sentenced to a life of gloominess When victory was the need The flag waver’s lost direction And someone’s strangling my voice…. I’m a wreck of a man defeated by defeat
What hope is there now for me When angels of light file past When we should have been the very first one And the Taxman says…. I’m last I wear a mask to protect me From the guilt of a failed life
The Lord says: Take off your mask in a quiet place Give Me your naked emotions Give Me the skin on your face Give Me the pain you see in the mirror When you’re fragile and thin Take off your mask, let Me help you in Open your heart to Me in my presence Be shattered like a broken pot Everything that you are Give Me all that you’re not Life is worthless without Me I’m the pearl of very great price Can you see My big picture Can you see My ultimate sacrifice? So put on the garment of praise Put on the ‘face plate’ of Me Bring every thought captive to My will In my presence liberty Let your crusty burnt out mask fall and die Lift up your hands now in surrender Let your new self be born again As I touch your face so tender, so tenderly by Jules Riding Copyright 2010 Elkanah Music www.julesriding.com
CRUCIFY Coming to terms with anger Is like dropping an egg on the pavement Impossible to reclaim your position What’s broken is broken, lost is lost Impossible to reclaim your position What’s spoken is spoken, lost is lost And how would you re-construct?
Coming to terms with bitterness Is a Mission Impossible Cos no one wants to forgive By holding on to it we think we have the power But it has the power over us, power over us How do you break it’s power? Be a man, get on your knees and pray!
Scream at God your pain But know He is the King of Forgiveness Study the life of Jesus, see His pain See how He forgave those who killed Him Can you forgive those Who hurt you or abused you? If not, they will hurt and abuse your emotions for a lifetime
Hey hey this is a tough one Cos no one wants to forgive Cos it takes humility and none of us is humble That’s why we won’t forgive We hold our unforgiveness like a crown Till it poisons us with bitterness and we die
Don’t die, crucify anger, learn to forgive x2 Don’t die, crucify bitterness, choose to forgive x2 Forgive, forgive, forgive, forgive.. by Jules Riding Copyright 2010 Elkanah Music www.julesriding.com
DARK SECRETS Everyone has an angel in their past Everyone has a demon Everyone has a black spot against their name When we wanted a clean report card Everyone has told a lie When truth was sorely needed We slipped into a white lie It became a nasty habit
We allowed our eyes a peek When eyes could have been averted It’s You we did not seek We listened to our own bad advice The dark secret is something Something we’re ashamed of But by keeping it hidden it has power over us
By sailing too close to the wind We compromised our faith And a few years down the track We’re off the straight and narrow The hidden secret is a cancer It has power over us The white lie is a giant of a master That bites us in the buttock
A secret peek at that dark screen Is a ravenous dragon You think nobody sees you But you are so mistaken The shake hands with the devil You get your fingers burned..
Everyone has an angel in their past Everyone has a demon Everyone has a black spot against their name When we wanted a clean report card Everyone has sworn a lie When truth was sorely needed We slipped into a white lie and it became A nasty habit, a nasty habit, a dark secret by Jules Riding Copyright 2010 Elkanah Music www.julesriding.com
WOUNDED SPIRIT What will become of me My whole life has been shadowed and shaped What will become of me My whole life has been shadowed and shaped By the pain of my youth ( By dysfunction in my youth)
What wounded spirit lies in the darkness Weak, lonely, hounded How on earth is it possible To make sense of all this When nothing makes sense And I’m filled with errant emotion Dark pallid days
How come I’ve made such mess of things Wallowing in defeat When I’ve preached victory The irony won’t pass Hypocrisy stares me in the face My whole life passes in a blur.. of contradictions
The Psalmist is my friend He seems to know my thoughts He’s been there, done that, done that The clamour of my mind The tentacles of negativity Who will free me from this self-inflicted prison Who will bring release to my captive mind
LAST CHORUS What has become of me My whole life has been Shadowed and shaped.. What has become of me My whole life now shadowed and shaped.. In the shape of… a cross.. In the shape of a cross.. by Jules Riding Copyright 2010 Elkanah Music www.julesriding.com
FORGIVE ME You’ve hurt me, and you don’t even know it You’ve abused me, and you don’t even care You’ve run rough shod over my feelings Trampled right over me Blasted me in your anger and condescension Berated me beyond my comprehension And you’ve hurt me, and you don’t even care
And your selfishness overwhelms me Your cold heart is an ice age I’m so dumbfounded I can’t speak So overwhelmed I can’t look at your face Your under my skin, you’ve invaded my space But I will let you go, I will release you now Even though you hurt me And you don’t even care
There’s poison inside my spirit The poison of revenge and hate But this poison it will poison me Drain the life from me, drain the life from me But I forgive you now, I release you now Even though you don’t deserve it And you don’t even care
It’s impossible Lord, without your mercy Lord I’m broken Lord, in my uncontrolable rage Cover my unforgiveness Lord Take my hardened heart Lord Guide these wooden footsteps And blanket me with grace
You forgave me Lord, I didn’t deserve it Lord Yes, you loved me Lord, when I didn’t care On the cross Lord Your blood flowed like a river Lord Flowed like a river Lord To break the unforgiveness snare
So forgive me Lord, I don’t deserve it Lord Please forgive me Lord, I didn’t care.. by Jules Riding Copyright 2010 Elkanah Music www.julesriding.com
CATACLYSM There’s coming a time When you’ll turn on your radio And it won’t work There’s coming a time you’ll switch on your tv And it won’t feed you A time unheralded in human history When the nations will mourn And not know what to do
There’s coming a time Known only to the Father When history stands still And we look up in fear and wonder Stars fall from the sky There’ll be angels in flight As the Son of Man makes his entrance From stage right
The politicians had their day Liberals had their sway As history unlearns at the dawn Before Jesus Christ returns
There’s coming a time of cataclysm We know nothing about This upheaval is social, political and natural Life as we know it, takes turn about And the devastation Is beyond our comprehension That so many could die here, on Planet Earth
And it’s all in God’s hand Part of his master plan How could a loving God Allow Planet Earth to burn.. Before Jesus Christ returns
2 Peter 3.9 says God is not willing that any should perish. He wants everyone to turn to him, but who will turn to Him? The wise, the humble, the courageous.. and the broken..
There’s coming a time Not the end of the world but the end of the age With ‘business as usual’ Everyone selling their wares On the global stage How can we prepare As we face Judgement Day? We can store up food, be self-sufficient Get out of the city Or we can pray, learn to pray.. by Jules Riding Copyright 2010 Elkanah Music www.julesriding.com
WILDERNESS (Psalm 63) O God, you are my God With my whole heart I search for you My soul thirsts after you My whole body longs for you In this dry and weary land Where there is no water..
I have seen you in your sanctuary Gazed upon your power and your glory Your unfailing love Is better to me than life itself How I praise you, how I praise you
I will honour you as long as I live Lifting up my hands in prayer You satisfy more than the richest of foods How I praise you, how I praise you
I lie awake thinking of you Meditating on you through the night I think how much you have helped me I sing for joy in the shelter of your wings
But those plotting to destroy me Will go down to everlasting ruin They will go into the depths of the earth They will die by the sword.. And become food for jackals by Jules Riding Copyright 2010 Elkanah Music www.julesriding.com

FOLLOW THE LAMB Take up your cross, follow the lamb Put your hand in the Saviour’s hand Reckon yourselves dead to sin Take up your cross, let Him in Follow the lamb
Our sin nailed Him to the Cross Our sin guaranteed our loss What kind of love is this that pays so dearly That we the guilty ones.. may go free
The depth of God’s love is overwhelming The Cross is history’s greatest gift The Saviour laid His life down sacrificially Paid the price for our sin, that we might live..
Yield your will to the will of your Father Yield your body to the flame of His holiness Find yourself in Him, surrender all to Him Surrender all and you will gain the Kingdom

Wakarimasita, wakarimasita ka Wakarimasita, wakarimasita ka X2 I see, do you see? I understand, do you understand?
1. Jesus came from heaven above He came to show us that God is love He came and died and rose again If you want to get to know Him You must be born again CHORUS
2. You can’t get to heaven by singing a song You can’t get to heaven by trying to do no wrong But if you ask Jesus to forgive your sin You will get to heaven And the party will beginCHORUS
by Bruce Jones © 2003 Elkanah Music www.julesriding.com
Wakarimasita, Wakarimasita Ka is more than just a kids’ song. It’s about honouring the Japanese culture and sharing the gospel with friends. During 1997 when I returned to Auckland to finish my degree I met a group of Asian students who helped broaden my view of their culture. We did many things together, shared cultural meals went on holiday and just sat around and talked between classes. As most of the Kiwi friends were Christian, religion would often come up as a topic and we would discuss the traditions and fears of different types of religion verses the relationship that we can have with God through Jesus. A key phrase during this time became Wakarimashita, Wakarimashita Ka? As we would check for understanding and clarification about different issues. As a result of our friendships two of the students became Christians which was pretty awesome and hopefully they have been able to grow in their faith and influence their families and communities. The words Wakarimashita, Wakarimashita Ka were chosen for the chorus in memory of those friends. Bruce Jones
I’m a bug, a bug, a big green bug With legs, legs, big hairy legs Got a spike on my head and a sting in my base And eyes that seem to say ‘Get off of my case And get outta my face..’
I saw a caterpillar on a leaf today Just chomping and chomping his life away But he told me that Jesus was God’s only Son And a butterfly is what he’d become, but..CHORUS
So I watched for a while, a thought came to me When people look at me, is that all they see I might look ugly but I’m soft within And Jesus is the one who’ll take all my sinCHORUS
So I thought for a while, decided what to do Jesus is the Man who can make me new So I said to the Lord ‘Come into my heart’ Now I gotta new life, I can make a new startCHORUSLAST CHORUS: Not just a bug, a bug, a big green bug With legs, legs, big hairy legs Got a spike on my head but a Brand New Heart Cos Jesus gave me a Brand New Start I said a Brand New Start

Songs from ‘JERUSALEM’
Safe safe in the arms of Jesus Ooh safe in his everlasting arms
No matter what the pain No matter what the cost No matter what’s been won Or the feelings that you’ve lost No matter where you’ve been No matter what the sin No matter how lonely His love will see you through
No matter what you’ve done No matter what went wrong No matter you fell short You never did belong No matter how you’ve cried No matter who has died No matter how you hurt His love will see you throughBRIDGE The Saviour reaches down no Holds you in his palm He picks you up so lightly And nestles you in the cradle of his arm The cradle of his arm

I sit in your presence Lord I come to worship you alone I bring you all I am and all that I am not And I worship at your throne
I’ve been the prodigal I’ve been through endless fire And suffered the affliction of following my own way I’ve felt the countless loss I’ve seen the passing years The folly of my selfishness leads me just to say..
Who am I? Who am I? Who am I Lord? Who am I Lord? ‘You’re my child and I love you I want the best for you, I’ve got a plan for your life I’ve seen all you’ve been thru, I bind up your wounds I love you, let me now heal your heart In my presence is fullness of joy In my presence is fullness of joy In my presence I will heal your heart Come into my presence, there’s fullness of joy’

Create in me a pure heart O God And renew a right spirit in me Create in me a pure heart O God And renew a right spirit in me
Have mercy on me O God According to your unfailing love According to your compassion Blot out my transgression..
Hide your face from my sins And blot out my iniquity Let me hear joy and gladness Let the bones you have crushed rejoice!
Don’t cast me from your presence Or take your Holy Spirit from me Give me back the joy of salvation Renew a willing spirit to sustain me..Then I will teach the fallen of your ways To lead their hearts from sin back to you For the sacrifice acceptable to God Is a broken spirit A broken and a humble heart You wont despise, you wont despise

(Note: this version contains an extra verse)
Look to the Hills Paraphrase of Ps 121
The road has been long, the trials have been hard The lessons come slowly some times We’ve been misunderstood and not done what we should The road ahead just climbs and climbsCHORUS So we look to the hills with light in our eyes A song on our tongues we sing Yes Jesus is Lord He’s risen from the dead And its Him we proclaim as King
The challenges of faith we haven’t always met Some times fear in our heart has been our guide But as we speak the Word the fears seem so absurd And there isn’t any need to hide CHORUS
The world closes in with cynicism and sin It can offer no hope just despair And I feel sucked down by the ever-sinking ground But before I choke I’m coming up for air CHORUS

We give You the place of honour We lift our hands we raise You up Mm we give to You the place of honour And we worship Jesus Christ as King of Kings

Songs from ‘REVELATION’
Rider On The White Horse Rev 19:11-16
CHORUS King of Kings, Lord of Lords He’s the Rider on the White Horse X2
I saw heaven standing open And there before me was a white horse Whose rider is called Faithful and True With justice, He judges and makes warCHORUS
His eyes are like blazing fire And on His head are many crowns He has a name written on Him That no one but He Himself knowsCHORUS
He’s dressed in a robe dipped in blood And His name is the Word of God
BRIDGE: The armies of heaven were following Him Riding on whites horses And dressed in fine linen, white and clean Out of His mouth comes a sharp sword With which to strike down the nations He’ll rule them with an iron sceptre He treads the winepress of the fury Of the wrath of God Almighty On His robe, on His thigh He has this name written
