I believe

I believe, for every drop of rain that falls, a flower grows

I believe that somewhere in the darkest night, a candle glows
I believe that every one who goes astray, someone will come to show the way
Yes, I believe, I believe

I believe, above the storm, the smallest prayer will still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere, hears every word
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry, or touch a leaf, or see the sky
Then I know why, I believe

Every time I hear a newborn baby cry, or touch a leaf, or see the sky
I know why, I believe

“Guardian” – Alanis Morissette

You, you who has smiled when you’re in pain 

You who has soldiered through the profane 

They were distracted and shut down 

So why, why would you talk to me at all 

such words were dishonorable and in vain 

their promise as solid as a fog 

and where was your watchman then 

I’ll be your keeper for life as your guardian 

I’ll be your warrior of care your first warden 

I’ll be your angel on call, I’ll be on demand 

The greatest honor of all, as your guardian 

you, you in the chaos feigning sane 

You who has pushed beyond what’s humane 

Them as the ghostly tumbleweed 

And where was your watchman then 

I’ll be your keeper for life as your guardian 

I’ll be your warrior of care your first warden 

I’ll be your angel on call, I’ll be on demand 

The greatest honor of all, as your guardian 

 

now no more smiling mid crestfall 

No more managing unmanageables 

No more holding still in the hailstorm 

Now enter your watchwoman 

 

I’ll be your keeper for life as your guardian 

I’ll be your warrior of care your first warden 

I’ll be your angel on call, I’ll be on demand 

The greatest honor of all, as your guardian

“Jesus Loves Me”

Yes Jesus loves me for the Bible tells me so
Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to him belong
They are weak but he is strong

Yes Jesus loves me
Oh, yes Jesus loves me
Yes Jesus loves me for the Bible tells me so

Pressing on the up away
Always guide me Lord I pray
Undeserving, and stubbornly never fail to love me still

Yes Jesus loves me
Oh yes Jesus loves me
Oh yes Jesus loves me, for the Bible tells me so
Yes Jesus loves me, love
Oh yes Jesus loves me for the Bible tells me so
For the Bible tells me so

(Feels so good to know) that I’m never alone
See, sometimes I’m lonely but never alone
For the Bible tells, for the Bible tells
For the Bible tells me so

See I know that he loves me
Whether I’m right, whether I’m wrong

We have truly lost one of the greats. I always love her songs. Listen to the icon’s still-powerful rendition of Yes, Jesus Loves Me.

“Blessings”

We pray for blessings, we pray for peace

Comfort for family, protection while we sleep

We pray for healing, for prosperity

We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering

And all the while, You hear each spoken need

Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops

What if Your healing comes through tears

What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You’re near

What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise?

We pray for wisdom, Your voice to hear

And we cry in anger when we cannot feel you near

We doubt your goodness, we doubt your love

As if each promise from Your Word is not enough

And all the while, You hear each desperate plea

And long that we’d have faith to believe

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops

What if Your healing comes through tears

What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You’re near

What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise?

When friends betray us

When darkness seems to win, we know

That pain reminds this hearts,

That this is not, this is not our home…..

It’s not our home

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops

What if Your healing comes through tears

What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You’re near

What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise?

What if my greatest disappointments,

Or the aching of this life,

Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy.

What if trials of this life,

The rain, the storms, the hardest nights

Are your mercies in disguise?

I will always love you . . .

If I should stay,
I would only be in your way.
So I’ll go, but I know
I’ll think of you ev’ry step of the way.

And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
You, my darling you. Hmm.

Bittersweet memories
that is all I’m taking with me.
So, goodbye. Please, don’t cry.
We both know I’m not what you, you need.

And I will always love you.
I will always love you.

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you’ve dreamed of.
And I wish to you, joy and happiness.
But above all this, I wish you love.

And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I, I will always love you.

You, darling, I love you.
Ooh, I’ll always, I’ll always love you.

I love this song ! “I Will Always Love You” — a cover of a Dolly Parton single from 1974 — was released on Nov. 3, 1992. It debuted at No. 40 the Billboard Hot 100 and took two weeks to hit No. 1, where it stayed for 14 weeks, a record at the time.  I love this song before and after it used to be the The Bodyguard soundtrack.

I Will Always Love You Whitney Houston!

Healing

Now that we have gotten through

One more fall

I can just admit I’ve got it all

‘Cause I do

‘Cause I’ve got you

We’ve crossed these battle lines to many times

It passes through the heart

But it never leaves a mark

 

‘Cause Your love just keeps on healing me

No matter how I bruise

If I just trust You

Your love just keeps on healing me

One more clue

One more chance that wasn’t there before

In your arms

no pain can harm the way I’m feeling

Lord I know that Your love is healing

 

I’ve kicked around those lines in my head

But I’ve never listened to the words that You said

See where it’s lead

Well I know I have it now

‘Cause You showed me how

And all I had to do

Was just to keep my eyes on You

 

‘Cause Your love just keeps on healing me

No matter how I bruise

If I just trust You

Your love just keeps on healing me

One more clue

One more chance that wasn’t there before

In your arms

no pain can harm the way I’m feeling

Lord I know that Your love is healing

 

‘Cause Your love just keeps on healing me

No matter how I bruise

If I just trust You

Your love just keeps on healing me

One more clue

One more chance that wasn’t there before

In your arms

no pain can harm the way I’m feeling

 

Lord I know that Your love is healing…

We Three Kings of Orient Are

We three kings of Orient are

Bearing gifts we traverse afar

Field and fountain, moor and mountain

Following yonder star

O Star of wonder, star of night

Star with royal beauty bright

Westward leading, still proceeding

Guide us to thy Perfect Light

Born a King on Bethlehem‘s plain

Gold I bring to crown Him again

King forever, ceasing never

Over us all to reign

O Star of wonder, star of night

Star with royal beauty bright

Westward leading, still proceeding

Guide us to Thy perfect light

Frankincense to offer have I

Incense owns a Deity nigh

Prayer and praising, all men raising

Worship Him, God most high

O Star of wonder, star of night

Star with royal beauty bright

Westward leading, still proceeding

Guide us to Thy perfect light

Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume

Breathes of life of gathering gloom

Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying

Sealed in the stone-cold tomb

O Star of wonder, star of night

Star with royal beauty bright

Westward leading, still proceeding

Guide us to Thy perfect light

Glorious now behold Him arise

King and God and Sacrifice

Alleluia, Alleluia

Earth to heav’n replies

O Star of wonder, star of night

Star with royal beauty bright

Westward leading, still proceeding

Guide us to Thy perfect light

We Three Kings of Orient Are

 

“We Three Kings“, also known as “We Three Kings of Orient Are” or “The Quest of the Magi“, is a Christmas carol written by the Reverend John Henry Hopkins, Jr., who wrote both the lyrics and the music.

When a Child Is Born

A ray of hope flitters in the sky

A tiny star lights up way up high

All across the land dawns a brand new morn

This comes to pass when a child is born

A silent wish sails the seven seas

The winds have changed whisper in the trees

And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn

This comes to pass when a child is born

A rosy hue settles all around

You’ve got the feel you’re on solid ground

For a spell or two no-one seems forlorn

This comes to pass when a child is born

And all of this happened

Because the world is waiting

Waiting for one child

Black, white, yellow, no one knows

But a child that would grow up and turn tears to

laughter

Hate to love, war to peace

And everyone to everyone’s neighbour

Misery and suffering would be forgotten forever

It’s all a dream and illusion now

It must come true, sometimes soon somehow

All across the land dawns a brand new morn

This comes to pass when a child is born

All across the land dawns a brand new morn

This comes to pass when a child is born

When a child is born

Here I Am Lord

Here I Am Lord

I, the Lord of sea and sky

I have heard my people cry

All who dwell in dark and sin

My hand will save.

I who made the stars and night

I will make the darkness bright

Who will bear my light to them

Whom shall I send?

Here I am Lord

Is it I Lord?

I have heard you calling in the night

I will go Lord

If you lead me

I will hold your people in my heart.

I the Lord of snow and rain

I have borne my people’s pain

I have wept for love of them

They turn away.

I will break their hearts of stone

Fill their hearts with love alone

I will speak my word to them

Whom shall I send?

Here I am Lord

Is it I Lord?

I have heard you calling in the night

I will go Lord

If you lead me

I will hold your people in my heart.

I will hold your people in my heart…
