The Wedding Song

Written June 2005

(Bride)
This time and place I'll always hold dear
To face the future with nothing to fear

I stand before God and man to make a promise

This is what I'll say---

Refrain:

I'll hold you

Cherish and love you

Never to part

As God has joined us together

I'll honor you
Love you as God has loved
Because you're the one
He gave me to love.

(Groom)
This time and place I'll always remember
The day I take you as my bride
Taking God's hand, taking your hand
Forever we'll always be together.
(Refrain)

Bridge:
This vow I take
God is faithful in helping us keep
As He keeps us by His side.
Until the day
We'll be with Him
Together in the sky.
(Refrain except last line)

Because you're the one...
(Groom) You're the one
(Bride) You're the one
(Together) I choose to love.

Before You

Written September 2005

I come before you today

Lord, just as I am

Naked and broken

Marred by the conflicts within.

I come before You today

As a child who has gone astray

Knowing that I can't live without
Your love.

Refrain

I come before You

With all of my heart

I come before You

Lord, You're all that I have

You never turn me away

When I come before You.

Time and time again

You reach out to me

You washed and clothed me

Made me Your child again.

Now I have been adopted

Like a child who's never gone astray

I only know that it's because
You are love.

Bridge
With arms open wide
You receive me back again
Through Jesus. O Jesus,
I stand in awe
For all that You've done.

In Times Like These

There are times in my life

When I don't feel like singing

Times when the days

Are so slow in passing

But it's in times like these 

That I know I need to

Refrain

Praise Him

Praise the Lord

'Cause there are days when I don't deserve

But God keeps pouring out

All the blessings He's reserved

So I'll praise Him

Praise the Lord.

There may be times in your life

When your prayers go unanswered

Times when you don't 

Even know what to pray

But it's in times like these

That God reaches out
(So let's...) Refrain

Bridge

Da-re-da-da-re-da-da...

It's in times like these

That I must confess

I need to sing, to talk to Him

I need my God.

(Refrain)

Only Jesus

(2007)

I often ask what's in store for me 

In this world of uncertainty

I search around yet I can't find

Save only one guarantee.

(Refrain)

I have Jesus. I have Jesus.

He's more than enough for me

Nothing in this world can fill me up

Only Jesus.

When I can't see what lies ahead

And my heart's only filled with dread

Then I look up and I see

Heaven's light shining down on me.

Bridge

(Psalm 73:25-26)

Whom have I in heaven buy You, Lord?
Earth has nothing besides You.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
But God is the strength of my heart
And my portion forever.
