A HEART AT PEACE (The Lord is My Peace)

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

A heart at peace gives life to the body

And Jesus brought peace through His blood

What a release for my heart to acknowledge

Be still and rest in God

 

The Lord is my peace

The Lord is my peace

The Lord is my peace

I rest secure in Him

 

A heart at peace gives life to the body

And we are the body of Christ

Called to bring peace as we love one another

Because He first loved us

 

The Lord is our peace

The Lord is our peace

The Lord is our peace

We rest secure in Him

 

 

CAN I THANK YOU LORD

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

Can I thank You Lord; really thank You Lord

For all You’ve done for me

I’m the guilty one, yet my sin is gone

Because of Calvary

 

Can I thank You Lord; really thank You Lord

For going there for me

Taking all my blame, on a cross of shame,

Where You died in agony

 

I don’t deserve the love You’ve given

I don’t deserve Your loyalty

I don’t deserve to go to heaven

Yet Your grace does all for me!

 

Can I thank You Lord; really thank You Lord

For being here with me

Through Your sacrifice, giving me new life

For all eternity

 

I don’t deserve to be forgiven

I don’t deserve to be set free

Yet You’ve reserved a space in heaven

What a place prepared for me!

 

 

CREATOR GOD

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

Creator God, create in me a greater joy and liberty

To use the gifts you’ve given me to bless Your heart

Creator God, help me to see what You created me to be

To know Your calling on my life in every part

 

Creator God, create in me a heart of peace and harmony

To share the love you’ve given me with those around

Creator God in You alone a new creation I’ve become

So let Your grace that I have known in me abound

 

Creator God, fulfill your purposes for me

Creator God, reveal the person I should be

As I surrender, Lord instill the very nature of Your will

Creator God, fulfill Your purposes in me

 

Creator God, create in me a mind from guilt and sin set free

To know that You’ve forgiven me when I confess

Creator God, see if there be unrighteousness, impurity

Show it to me that I may know Your holiness

 

Creator God, breathe in me,

Creator God, live in me

 

 

DON’T LET ME WASTE MY LIFE

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

All of Creation has purpose and meaning

For everything points to the Truth

God, You are there, to the searcher revealing

The real treasure found within You

 

So help me be more alive to Your beauty

Give me the eyes to see

Awaken my soul to Your wonders daily

Show me reality

 

Most of the world is blind, thinking that You are defined

and shaped by their own desires.

But I'm being realigned, and Lord You renew my mind

As I wait and Your Spirit inspires

 

Don't let me waste my life, I don't get to live it twice

And what's not for You won't remain

So may I live for Christ daily to spread His light

Then after life will be gain

 

 

DYING TO MYSELF

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

How can I look at the cross and continue with pride?

All that I treasure is loss because You have died

Nothing compares to the greatness of knowing You Christ

Help me to share in Your suffering and sacrifice

 

You’re so giving to me Lord

I’m alive by Your death

If I’m living for You Lord

Am I dying to myself?

 

How can I look at the tomb and continue in fear

Rising You scattered all gloom Jesus now You are near

I want to share in the power of Your risen life

Help me to take up my cross and to follow You Christ

 

Now You’re living in me Lord

I’m alive with Your breath

So I’m living for You Lord

And I’m dying to myself

 

I’m investing in Your truth

Your Kingdom is my wealth

So I’m resting now in You

And dying to myself

 

 

ETERNITY

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

Before there was an earth

A sky or universe, You were there

Beyond what can be traced

Unbound by time or space, You were there

Who could imagine or ever explain?

Language or knowledge could never contain

 

Such eternity that You give to me

In Your image I’ve been made

What a mystery that You live in me

May that wonder never fade

 

Before I disobeyed

Lord, Your plan was made, You were there

Being born for me, dying on that tree

You were there

Who could imagine or ever explain?

Language or knowledge could never contain

 

What a sacrifice, how You gave Your life

Why You set this prisoner free

But You gladly gave, overcame the grave

Now we’ll share eternity

 

You were there, You were there for me

You are here, You will always be

Eternally God and forever the same

We give You glory and honour your name

 

What a sacrifice…

 

Such eternity...

 

 

 

 

GIVE YOU PEACE

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

May He turn His face towards you

This is my prayer

For a garment of praise upon you

Instead of despair

 

From the ends of the earth

He causes wars to cease

Captives are freed

And prisoners are released

 

May He turn His face towards you

And give you peace

 

 

 

HE IS GOD

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

Who can measure sound and light

Charts the course of every flight

Knows the secrets of the deep

Promises to never sleep

 

Who brings fruit from human toil

Forming beauty out of soil

Life He brings from broken shells

Fountains spring from drying wells

 

All we know is He is God

Making and sustaining all

There is power in His word

I believe and stand in awe

 

Who will calm the troubled soul

Make the broken spirit whole

Mending wounds and healing hearts

Offers all another start

 

 

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

God the only Being who is good

Why do we not take You at Your word?

Ruler of the universe You made

Why have we so often disobeyed?

 

God how You must really hate my sin

All the pride and arrogance within

And your justice cannot be denied

Yet You tell me that’s why Jesus died

 

It should have been me, it should have been me

Surely the guilty one should pay the price?

It should have been me, it should have been me

But for Your sinless Son who gave His life

 

He was tortured mocked and beaten

Though he had done no wrong

Punished for my sin and left to die

Abandoned and forsaken

Forgiving everyone

It was finished with his final cry

 

God the One and Only full of grace

Light of all the world who took my place

Risen Lord to whom I owe my life

I’m so thankful for His sacrifice

 

 

 

 

I WANT TO WORSHIP YOU LORD

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

I want to worship You Lord with all of my heart

So help me worship You Lord in spirit and truth

Giving all of my mind and all of my strength

To worship You

 

For You alone are worthy

Yes You alone are worthy

So You Oh Lord I worship You alone

 

 

JESUS IS THE LAMB

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

Jesus is the Lamb, Jesus is the Lamb

Lamb of God who died for us

Jesus is the Lamb

 

Holy is the Lamb…

 

Glory to the Lamb…

 

Risen is the Lamb

 

 

JESUS, SAVIOUR REDEEMER

Words: Nigel Cameron

Music: Alison Bailie

 

Jesus, Saviour, Redeemer,

Beautiful One, I love you, adore you

You are my everything

Jesus, Saviour, Redeemer,

There can be none above You, before You

You are my Lord and King

 

Every time I think of the sacrifice You made at Calvary

I want to thank You for the blood You shed for me

 

Jesus, Saviour, Redeemer,

Merciful One, I bow down before You

You are my Lord and King

 

Worthy, worthy, Lamb that was slain

Glory, Honour be unto Your Name.

 

 

 

 

LORD, I BELIEVE IN YOU

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

Lord I believe in You, but help my unbelief

Lord I receive from You, so show me how to give

I put my trust in You but I have so little faith

Help me to know it’s only by Your power I live

 

When I lose my way You’re there to guide me

My only hope when all hope is gone

Every single need your care provides me

Lord I depend on You alone.

 

When I feel alone, You’re my companion

My only strength when I don’t feel strong

You’re the only One I can rely on

So I will trust in You alone.

 

l depend on You,

I depend on You

l depend on You,

I depend on You

I will trust in You (when all hope is gone)

I will trust in You (when I don’t feel strong)

I will trust in You (to help me carry on)

I will trust in You (Lord in You alone)

 

Lord I believe in You, but help my unbelief

Lord I receive from You, so show me how to give

I put my trust in You but help me to have more faith

Help me to know it’s only by Your power I live

 

 

 

NO GREATER LOVE

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

Oh how vast His Love’s embrace

Saviour of the human race

Arms wide open on a cross

Stretching out to free the lost

 

Wounded hands and thorn crowned head

Servant King for me who bled

Died in pain he chose to bear

Oh what love beyond compare!

 

No greater love, no purer love

No deeper love, No surer love

Nothing compares with Your love, Jesus

 

Oh how far His love extends

Dying thieves can make amends

Trust in Jesus and be saved

Share His life beyond the grave

 

Death defeated, How He reigns

Sending comfort, breaking chains

Interceding now for me

Oh how sweet love’s victory

 

No greater love, no purer love

No deeper love, No surer love

Nothing compares with Your love, Jesus

 

For it reaches to all who have strayed

It was shown by the price that You paid

For You laid down Your life for Your sheep

And Good Shepherd Your work is complete

 

Let the wonder of this love arise

May I know in my heart You’re alive

You’re my sin-bearing, life-giving King

And of no greater love could I sing

 

No greater love, no purer love

No deeper love, No surer love

 

No wider love, no longer love

No higher love. No stronger love

 

Nothing compares with Your love, Jesus

 

 

 

 

PRAYER FOR NEW ORLEANS

(Inspired by media coverage of Hurricane Katrina)

Words: Nigel Cameron

Tune: The Lakes of Ponchartrain

 

O God of all Creation who has made all things well:

Why nature rages against us, Lord, only you can tell.

Destruction came with Katrina, she left these floods of pain

From the banks of the Mississippi to the levees of Ponchartrain.

 

O God, our hope and comforter, be near to those, we pray,

Whose carefree days are over, who have no homes today.

Help those cut off from their loved ones to find them still alive;

And be with those whose family or friends did not survive.

 

O God of grace, their shelter be, and turn unrest to peace.

Sustain the weak and the hungry; prevent the spread of disease.

If there should be some pleasure in the midst of so much pain,

May roads that lead to nowhere point back to you again.

 

O God of all Creation we pray for New Orleans.

Bring healing and protection through all life’s changing scenes;

Where floods brought devastation reveal your glory again

From the beautiful Mississippi to the Lakes of Ponchartrain.

 

 

PRODIGAL GRACE

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

Lord there are times when I have wandered

So far from where I should be

Lord there are times when I have squandered

The riches you’ve given me

Following my hearts desire left me all alone

Standing in the mud and mire

longing to come home

 

Grace brought me back to the Saviour

Grace threw a party for me

Grace, Your unmerited favour

Now You have forgiven me.

 

Lord there are times when I have rejected

The wisdom of all Your ways

Lord there are times when I have neglected

To honour You and obey

Leaving me in sinking sand, tainted and defiled

Yet You’re reaching out Your hand

for I’m still Your child

 

I’m astounded by Your grace

That You long to see my face

And no matter what I’ve done

Into Your arms I can run

 

 

RESTLESS SPIRIT

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

So much unrest all around me, this world seems out of control;

So much unrest inside me, deep down in my very soul.

 

(Instrumental)

 

I’m tired of the restlessness in my life,

So tired of the restlessness in my life

So tired of the restless feeling in my soul,

So tired of the restlessness in my life

And I want to change it

 

I’m tired of the hurt and pain locked up inside,

So many restless thoughts I try to hide

I’m tired of pretending that I’m OK,

Will somebody tell me why I feel this way?

‘Cos I want to change it

 

Out of the darkness, you heard my cry,

You brought me out of the darkness, into your light.

I’m tired of the restlessness in my life,

So tired of the restless feeling in my soul

So tired of the restless spirit binding me,

I need you to come and set me free

 

Out of the darkness…

 

You brought me to the place of peace,

You brought me to the place of calm,

You brought me to the place of rest,

You brought me to the place of peace.

 

Be still and know that I am God,

Be still and know that I am God,

You brought me to the place of peace,

You brought me to the place of calm,

You brought me to the place of rest,

You brought me to the place of ….

 

(Instrumental)

 

Out of the darkness…,

 

You brought me to the place of praise,

You brought me to the place to worship you,

You brought me to the place of joy,

You brought me to the place of praise.

 

The place of praise….

 

Out of the darkness…,

 

(Instrumental)

 

You brought me to the place of praise,

You brought me to the place to worship you,

You brought me to the place of joy,

You brought me to the place of ….

 

 

SEE THE HOLY LAMB OF GOD

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

See the Holy Lamb of God, who takes away our sin

Offering His Spirit for a life change from within

His power and position John the Baptist recognised

But yet the Saviour by this servant chose to be baptised

 

What a demonstration in the water on that day

He who knew know sin had come to wash our sins away

 

See the Holy Lamb of God into the water wades

Importance of the sacrament by Him to be conveyed

River Jordan's mud and mire around his body swirls

As John immerses Jesus - the Creator of the World

 

What a demonstration in the water on that day

He who knew know sin would die to take our sins away

 

So to the river I run, into your mercy I plunge

The cleansing stream of your blood washing over me

My sins are buried and gone, you've taken every one

They're washed away in the flood and now I come up clean.

 

See the Holy Lamb of God up from the waters rise

The veil of heaven parting as he looks up to the skies

The Holy Dove descends and then a voice from heaven speaks

‘This is my Beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased’

 

What a demonstration of His resurrection day

God would look at Him and know our sins are washed away

 

 

SO AMAZING GRACE (Nothing I have done)

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

Nothing I have done nor any good in me

Has brought me to this place;

Only by Your Son and grace so free

Have I been saved through faith.

Nothing I can do or ever strive to be

Will help me win this race;

So I trust in You, with Christ in me,

For I am saved by grace

 

And Your grace is so amazing, when I think of all my sin;

Yet there is no condemnation - You laid it all on Him;

And Your grace is overwhelming, as I contemplate the cost:

For me to be forgiven, He died - upon a cross.

 

And your grace is so amazing, when I think of what it means

To know the Risen Jesus and from my sin be clean;

And your grace is never-ending – He’s prepared a place for me

To be with him in heaven, and live – eternally.

 

So amazing grace, So amazing grace

 

 

SO GRATEFUL TO YOU GOD

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

Every day the sun rises

Every morning we wake

All we see with our eyes is

a gift sent by God

Every blink every heartbeat

Every breath that we take

Every moment our mouths speak

is given by God

 

So we'll cherish these days and be thankful

For Your generous ways we're so grateful

So grateful to You God

 

Every hard situation

Every difficult choice

You can work for our good in

the light of the cross

Though we face tribulation

Yet in Christ we rejoice

And with faith in His blood-gift

can boast in the cross

 

So we'll cherish Your grace and be thankful

For your merciful ways we're so grateful

So grateful to You God

 

For the comfort and pleasure You purchased at such a great cost

What a wonderful treasure the underserved gift of the cross

 

Every day the sun rises

Every morning we wake

All we see with our eyes is

because of the cross

Every blink every heartbeat

Every breath that we take

Every moment our mouths speak

was bought by the cross

 

So we'll cherish this life and be thankful

For Your great sacrifice we're so grateful

   That He rose from the grave

   And forever we'll praise

   For the life that You gave we're so grateful

So grateful to You God

 

 

SUNRISE TO SUNSET

Words & Music: Nigel Camerron

 

Fresh every morning are mysteries revealed

The wonder and beauty no longer concealed

Seasons and tides ever changing the view

A feast for our eyes to behold something new

 

Sunrise to sunset, night time and day

Bursting with colourful sights on display

Forest and mountain, ocean and sea

The voice of Creation is speaking to me

 

Fresh on the canvas of each evening sky

Exclusive sun paintings that dazzle my eye

Twighlight revealing the vastness of space

The moon and the stars that You put in their place

 

I stand amazed, I stand amazed

At the wonder of it all

I stand amazed, I stand amazed

At the One who made it all

 

I stand amazed, I stand amazed

At the wonder of it all

So all my days, I give my praise

To the One who made it all

 

 

SURELY THIS IS GOD’S OWN SON (TORN VEIL)

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

Who would turn from splendour to the world,

the world He had created - surrendering

To become redemption’s plan unfurled:

The Saviour long awaited - a humble King?

As a baby born, his glory veiled in flesh,

this flesh that would be torn.

 

Who would be the one unblemished Lamb,

the Lamb of sacrifice, as an offering

To remove the veil of death from man,

And pay for our new life - by suffering?

This beloved son, in whom you were well pleased,

was pleased to be the one.

 

Surely this is God’s own son, hanging on a tree,

this is God’s own son.

Surely this is God’s own son, dying there for me,

this is God’s own son.

 

Who became our sin, the darkest veil,

The veil of separation - condemned by God

To endure the pain of thorn and nail,

Our punishment upon Him, and shed his blood:

On a cross of shame, this God forsaken lamb,

the lamb that would be slain.

 

(Chorus)

 

On a cross of shame, this God forsaken lamb,

the lamb that has been slain.

 

And the veil was torn open so we can come through

into Your holy presence within;

His body was broken yet we are made new

by His blood fully cleansed from our sin.

 

And the stone rolled away so that we could see in-

to the tomb where his body once lay

He arose from the dead to appear unto men

And His Spirit is with us today.

Yes, His Spirit is with us today,

Yes, His Spirit is with us today

 

Who is now enthroned at God’s right hand,

whose hands the nail-prints show? We believe -

He’s the Son of God and Son of Man,

who lives that all may know, and receive -

The power of God to save, the peace of God for life,

and life beyond the grave.

 

Surely this is God’s own son, Saviour of the world,

this is God’s own son.

Surely this is God’s own son, redemption’s plan unfurled,

this is God’s own son.

 

 

THE CROSS OF JESUS (No Other Cross)

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

No other cross of stone or wood

Not by tradition or doing good

Nothing can make us right with God

But the cross of Jesus

More than a memory of the past and gone

It brings forgiveness for everyone

This is the cross my name was on

It’s the cross of Jesus

 

This is the cross, the cross of Jesus

And on this cross, the cross that frees us

He bore the cost to release us

Thank you for the cross of Jesus

 

No charm or trapping of religion

Not in the ritual repetition

Nothing can bring us back to God

But the cross of Jesus

More than a fashion accessory

Greater than all artistic imagery

This is the cross he bore for me

It’s the cross of Jesus

 

What a place of punishment for Him

Where He chose to pour His life away

And the price was paid for all our sin

Then He arose again on Easter Day!

What a sign of glory to the King

And for us to signify His rule

With a song of victory we sing

‘The Empty Cross’ to show our hearts our full

 

No holy statue or saintly grave

No other symbol upon a page

Nothing can show the power of God

But the cross of Jesus

More than an emblem from history

It opens up eternal mystery

This is the cross of sweet victory

It’s the cross of Jesus

 

 

THE RISING OF YOUR SON

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

The rising of Your Son has caused the blind to see

The victory he won has set the captive free

And choosing to believe in him

I give my life to breathe in Him

The rising of your son now shines in me

 

So let Your light keep on shining

Shining bright for all to see

May my life burn with your glory

Shine your light through me

 

The rising of Your Son has shown up all my sin

My life has just begun in fullness now with Him

His saving grace forgiving me

Your love and peace to live in me

The rising of Your Son will never dim

 

The rising of Your Son turned darkness into light

For now his work is done salvation is in sight

He died for sin instead of me

But rose again triumphantly

The rising of your Son is my delight

 

 

THE STRANGER

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

Lord You were a stranger from a different land;

From heaven to a manger, who would understand?

The King of all Creation born into the hands

Of those he had created.

Lord You were a stranger on a cross of wood,

Sinless yet forsaken by your father God

The King of all Creation paying by his blood

For those he has created.

 

All of my s-i-n was forgiven

When You died and rose again.

I am a ci-ti-zen of heaven

Now the stranger is my friend.

 

Lord You are a stranger to the world today

Like sheep without a shepherd, we have gone astray

The King of all Creation seems so far away

From those he has created

Lord You are the stranger walking by our side

So many words of wisdom go unrecognised.

The King of all Creation foolishly denied

By those he has created

 

So if You are a stranger on a distant shore,

Help me now to know You as I did before;

You walked this earth before me

To be my King of Glory-

So reign in my life once more

 

Lord You are the stranger many will ignore

Yours is not the Kingdom they are waiting for

Yet the King of all Creation has so much in store

For those he has created

Lord, make me a stranger so that I can be

A slave to sin no longer, living differently

The King of all Creation shining out through me

To those You have created.

 

 

THROUGH THE VEIL

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

The veil of flesh and squalor Lord You chose in virgin birth

When stepping down from glory to embrace this sinful earth

‘Though few believed You are the Source of Light for all the World

A Messenger before You cried ‘Behold the Lamb of God’

The veil of heaven parted over where You were baptised

The Spirit came; The Father spoke, His Son identified

Who lived to seek and save the lost; to love, forgive and heal

But few anticipated that You came to tear the veil

 

From the highest heights above, right down to where we are

The Way was opened up, the path to God is clear

And still Your hands of love are reaching out so far

To lead us through the veil; for You came through the veil –

to where we are

 

The veil of sin prevented us from access to God’s throne

But You became the Great High Priest who for our sins atoned

By taking them upon Yourself and shedding Your own blood

Now ransomed and forgiven we are reconciled to God

The veil of death had lingered over man since Adam fell

And Satan had his way with those he beckoned into hell

But Lord You came to break the curse and died to bring new life

Eternity secured for us by Your great sacrifice

 

From the highest heights above, right down to where we are

The Way was opened up, the path to God is clear

And still Your hands of love are reaching out so far

So lead us though The Veil, to see your scars of nail,

and the wound of spear

 

The veil of separation in the temple way back then

Of such a height and width that it could not be moved by men

Was torn from top to bottom when You died for us that day

There’s no restricted access now - the barrier is away!

The veil of mystery removed from God’s most holy place

So through the veil of Jesus we can meet Him face to face

And God will never dwell again in temples made by hand

For He was moving out that day into the hearts of man

 

And still Your hands of love are reaching out so far

So lead us through the veil, lead us through the veil…

Lord, lead us through the veil - to where You are

 

The veil of flesh You wore as You embraced humanity

Became the veil of sin You bore when dying on the tree

The veil of death upon You ‘til You rose on Easter Day

When heaven’s veil was opened by the New and Living Way

The veil of human suffering one day will be released

For every child of God will reunite in heaven’s peace

And we will then be like You, in an instant we will change

When every eye beholds the Lamb of God who comes to reign

 

From the highest heights above, right down to where we are

The Way will open up to meet You in the air

We’ll see Your hands of love and praise You evermore

For tearing through the veil, for leading through the veil –

to where You are

 

 

 

TO WHOM SHALL WE GO

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

When Your teaching is hard, maybe too hard to swallow

And I’m weary and tired, maybe too tired to follow

Lord Your Spirit gives life, the flesh counts for nothing

Have You not chosen me, from the very beginning?

 

I will not turn back

Though many choose to leave You

I have heard You speak

I will still believe You

 

Lord, to whom shall we go

When You have life-giving words?

We believe and we know

You are the Holy One

You are the Holy One

Your Father enables us to come

To You the Holy One of God

 

 

WHEN I CHOOSE THE EASY WAY

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

When I choose the easy way

Hear your word but disobey

Can I still expect You Lord to bless?

When I revel in my sin

Tie myself in knots within

Can You still redeem this broken mess?

 

Should I give You second best

Holding back on all the rest

When You’ve given everything for me?

Should I sing so many lies

Always wearing a disguise

When I know it’s not the way to be

 

Lord I really must confess

My apathy and prayerlessness

Lack of love and chasing selfish gain

For when so much need abounds

Where can anyone be found

Living for the glory of Your name?

 

Do I really follow You (or just predend)?

Do You really live within (are You my Friend)?

Can’t I love You through and through (right to the end)?

And how forgiven is my sin (have I been cleansed)?

 

It’s all about Eternity

So what should matter more to me

Than living for the glory of Your name?

Leaving all I have behind

Loving You and all mankind

Lifting high the Everlasting Flame

 

There’s nothing greater I could ever do

Than living in the light of knowing You

So lifting high the Everlasting Flame

I’m living for the glory of Your name

 

 

WHO PAINTS THE COLOURS

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

Who paints the colours on the leaves of the trees

Who gently whispers the sound on the breeze

Who sprinkles life-giving dew, makes everything new

Creating, sustaining and ruling in all

Oh heavenly father you are in control

 

Who carves the crevices into the stone

Who finds the swallow a place to call home

Who shines his life-giving light, by day and by night

Creating, sustaining and ruling in all

Oh heavenly father you are in control

 

All creatures of our God and King

Will lift up their voices and sing

All creatures of our God and King

We lift up our voices and sing

 

Who grows the harvest that starts from a seed

Who plans the seasons to meet every need

Who provides life-giving food, for all of our good

Creating, sustaining and ruling in all

Oh heavenly father you are in control

 

Who joins together the bride and the groom

Who knits the patterns that form in the womb

Who breathes his life-giving breath, has power over death

Creating, sustaining and ruling in all

Oh heavenly father you are in control

 

Hallelujah, hallelujah,

Hallelujah, hallelujah.

 

 

WITHOUT YOU

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron 2009

 

I love You O Lord Your are the strength by which I live

I want to know Your risen power

Trusting Your word and all the promises You give

I am secure in Your strong tower

 

Without You I can do nothing

But with You there is nothing I can’t do

 

Now I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength

When I learn the secret of surrender

And oh how amazing to test the height and the width

Of Your great love, beyond all measure

 

I want to be rooted in Your strength and not my own

No matter where I may be placed

And being contented knowing heaven is my home

There’s no problem on earth that can’t be faced

 

Keep me planted firmly in Your word

Let Your streams of living water flow

Be my Bread of Life, sustain me Lord

For strength is found in You and You alone

 

 

YOU ALONE

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

I want to worship You Lord with all of my heart

So help me worship You Lord in spirit and truth

Giving all of my mind and all of my strength

To worship You

 

For You alone are worthy

And You alone are Holy

So You O Lord I worship

You alone

 

 

YOU ARE GOD

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

Lord of heaven and Lord of earth, maker of the whole universe,

When I consider your handiwork I feel so small.

Constellations and galaxies, mighty mountains and roaring seas

But more amazing than all of these – You created even me

And I recall

 

You are God and I am not, You perceive my every thought

And breath I breathe, so help me see that

You are God and I am not, and to believe that you know what

is best for me….that’s how it’s meant to be

 

Lord of nature and Lord of life, you are sovereign in peace or strife

When I remember your sacrifice I feel ashamed

God embracing humanity, my Creator would die for me

Greater love there has never been than your crazy love for me

And I proclaim

 

You are God..

 

How could I ever doubt you, How could I live without you

How could I ever put you to the test, when you know what is best

 

 

YOU ARE MY GOD

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

You are my God; You are my King

You are the Lord of my life.

You are my Saviour and to You I sing

You are my God and my King

 

You take delight in our praises

You take delight when we worship You

You are my Saviour and to You I sing

You are my God and my King

 

You take delight in our praises

You take delight when we worship You

You take delight

when we bow down before you

You are my God, to You I sing

You are my God and my King

 

 

YOU ARE MY HOPE

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

There’s a joy in my sorrow

And a freedom in these chains

There is hope for tomorrow

No matter what it brings

 

You are the joy in my sorrow

You are my hope for tomorrow

You are the one who can free us

You are my hope, Jesus

 

There’s a light in my darkness

In the cold it keeps me warm

There is strength in my weakness

And peace within the storm

 

You are the light in my darkness

You are the strength in my weakness

You are the place where the peace is

You are my hope, Jesus

 

Lord I need Your hope to face another dawn

I need Your strength to help me carry on

Lord I need Your joy so I can always sing

I need Your power to soar on eagles wings

 

Jesus you’re my hope…

 

 

YOUR WILL

Words & Music: Nigel Cameron

 

I can’t make decisions or know what is best

When I try to get by on my own

But follow Your wisdom and I will be blessed

Far beyond what I have ever known

 

I can’t always be all that I wanted to be

So I need You to show me Your plan

To be everything Lord that You want of me

For it’s only with You that I can

 

Your will and Your ways are there for me

In You there is purpose and meaning

Your will and the ways You care for me

So good, so perfect, so pleasing

 

I can’t always know the extent of Your power

Perfected in weakness and pain

But help me to grow through the darkest of hours

And count it as joy for Your gain

 

I can’t be too sure when You’ll give me the task

For which my life has been designed

So may I be ready to do what You ask

For the destiny You have in mind

 

May Your will be done

In my life today

May Your Kingdom come

As I go Your way

 

 

YOUR WISDOM

Words & Music : Nigel Cameron – based on Ecclesiastes 7

 

Everything is meaningless without you

In a world so full of selfishness and pride

Grant to me your wisdom as my shelter

And I will be forever satisfied

 

I’ll consider what you’ve done when times are good,

I will be happy, I will be happy

And when times are bad, and there’s nothing I can do

I will consider, I will consider

You have made the one as well as the other

And shining through, I will see the sun,

no more to be discovered

 

But your wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing

But your wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing

 

A future undiscovered lies ahead,

So help me not to glory in the past

But seek your wisdom patiently instead,

For wisdom is the one thing that will last

 

Don’t want to chase the wind anymore,

Don’t want to chase the wind anymore,

Don’t want to chase the wind anymore,

Don’t want to chase the wind anymore.

 

Everything is meaningless without you

So take away my selfishness and pride

Grant to me your wisdom as my shelter

And I will be forever satisfied

And I will be forever satisfied
