MY FIRST FIVE : SONG LYRICS
Found
I’m wondering night and day
And I keep trying to pray
But all I have are questions
So here’s what I often say
“What am I to do?
What’s Your plan for me?
How am I to know
where I’m supposed to be?
“What am I to do?
What’s Your plan for me?
Show me how to serve You
And not waste my time away”
He says, “Stop running in circles
Run to me
I’m here, just look around
If you’re wondering where
You’re gonna be
It’s in my arms you’re found”
Follow me, take my hand
Day by day, soon you’ll understand
When you stop running in circles
Run to me
I’m here, just look around
If you’re wondering where
You’re gonna be
It’s in my arms you’re found”
Let Go and Let God
I gotta let go and let God
Let God take control
Let God take control
I gotta let go and let God
Do what I cannot
Do what I cannot
He is my help and I sing
In the shadow of His wings
He holds me up when I fall
And its ‘cause of that I sing
Surely God is my salvation
I will trust and not be afraid
Surely God is my salvation
I will trust and not be afraid
Creator (Elohim)
We will worship the creator of the heavens
We will praise the holy maker of the stars
When the night winds call and lightning strikes around us
We can worship the creator of it all
We can shout His name hear it echo in the valley
And on the mountain tops declare His highest fame
We can sing to the creator of the music
And declare His glory and lift high his name
Mighty King, Father God
Elohim, Elohim
We will worship the creator of the nations
We will praise the holy maker of the seas
When the shadows fall, there’s darkness all around us
We can praise the one who’s holding you and me
Let us worship now the author of our stories
Let us praise the one who’s given us new life
While we run this race and when our hearts get heavy
We can praise the one on whom we set our sights
God's Time
I’ve heard it told to many people
Many a time
That patience is a virtue
And life’s not on our time
But I know I struggle with knowing that
And surely we all struggle with showing that
But our watches show a different time
Because the world slowly spins around
And it feels like I might hit the ground
But when I worry about the future
I’ve been told by the best teacher
“Don’t you fret and don’t you worry
You shouldn’t rush and you shouldn’t scurry
Don’t you know I’m looking out for you?
And don’t you know I have a plan for you?”
And I know that when I think about my life
I know it has and will all happen
In God’s hand, on God’s time
Though it isn’t the easy road
Those before us have shown
That our plans may not be part of His
But I know we know He’s holding us
And He will not let go of us
So sometimes we’ve just got to let go
Wait, wait wait
Just wait
Wait, wait, just wait
It’s all on God’s own time
Rest
You are with me
When the world says You are not
You are for me
When the world says You forgot
I choose to listen
To the voice of love instead
A gentle whisper
Through the dark it clearly said
“Come to me, all ye weary and burdened
And I will give you rest
Come to me, all ye weary and burdened
And I will give you rest
Rest from the rush of life”
I hear your voice a hush in the night saying
“Come to me, all ye weary and burdened
And I will give you rest”
