I have loved you with an everlasting love

I have loved you with an everlasting love
Far outside the bounds of time
I have loved you with an everlasting love
Before you were created, you were in my mind

I am with you in the darkness of your soul
I see each moment and I never let you go
I hear each sigh and I catch each tear you cry
Though you feel broken, my child, I still call you mine

Don't turn away when you feel lost and afraid
I saw this coming and a pathway I have made
I am before, I am behind and at your side
And in your heart I'll always be your guide

I have loved you with an everlasting love
and that love will never die
I will work in you complete what I've begun
and you will be my spotless bride




This song is about God's heart in particular for those who he loves (everyone) and the last verse about those who by his grace respond to his love (the church) into whom all are welcome to come.

There is none like You

 

Verse F6 C G (Am)

Loving Father, Precious Savior, Holy Spirit be with me

For Your beauty and Your glory is what I want to see
Let my heart know, by Your grace show the vastness of Your love
Draw me near You, help me hear You, because You are what I want

Chorus 

You are the well for the one that is thirsty
You are the way for the one that is lost
You are the door for the one that is knocking
You are the treasure that’s worth any cost

 

God Almighty, Great Redeemer, Gentle Counselor and Friend

You are faithful, You are awesome, You are with us past the end
Up in heaven, You are waiting, till we see You face to face
Our hearts longing our souls hoping as we’re carried by Your grace.

 

Bridge Dm, C G

We ask to know Your love more God, We lift our voices, bring us closer, closer

We thank You that You’re here with us, Help us now to lift You higher and higher

Song for You (to the favorite tune)

 

I will sing a song to you

To make you glad to make you smile

I will sing to bring you joy as long as I’m alive

 

Chorus

My song will be for you my heart poured out to you

I’ll hold nothing back I am wholly yours

 

I will go where you lead

I’ll take your hand, you hold me close

I will dance within your love it’s so, so strong

 

Bridge 

And I will love the one’s you love

and I know it brings me closer

To you for that's where your heart is, oh I want to be more like you.

 

I will run the race you run, though sometimes I'm slow or stumble

You will help me up so patient and you’ll cheer me on

Hallelujah

Am C7 G7 D / Dm C G

Our hearts long for you the living God
Our souls pant for you like streams of water
Through Christ we come into your presence now
Children coming to our loving Father

Hallelujah to the Great I AM
Hallelujah to the King of Kings
Hallelujah to our Savior God
As an offereing of love we sing

Bridge
Show us your great love, O God
Adn move us in your holiness and power
Your kingdom come, your will be done
Your church as one with you in love forever

Sunrise

Am C G
D Am Em
DCG

In your tender mercies
You sent the sunrise
Upon a life so dark

With your great compassion
You lifted my eyes
to see the beauty of your heart


Oh  D, Am C (Em)
D Am C G

Though my face was downcast
Like a weeping outcast
The sun has dried my tears

For now I'm safe inside
Those arms stretched out wide
Where your love takes away my fears

Oh

So when the warmth of the sun
Shines down on this one
It melts my heart of ice

Though outside it's snowing
I'll keep on growing
For you breathe in me new life

the Favorite (F6, C G Am)
(2x)
The light shines in the darkness
And the darkness will not win.
For Jesus the son died for this one.
And took away my sins. Yes he takes away my sins.

optional repeat of first chorus

Wrote this one as I was quite moved by Luke 1:77-79 in particular the image in verse 78, in bold font below
"to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace."

That Song of Love

Verses: AmEm CGD

Inbetween: the favorite (F6 C G then Am or D)

Between every verse a hum or an oo on the inbetween until Chorus A and Chorus B

Everyday all day your love’s with me and I cannot escape
Though my mind is blind and heart is numb, you won’t ever forsake
You keep singing knowing sometime someday I will hear your song
That song of love that you’ve sung over me my entire lifetime long

Through the stormy seasons I want reasons for why things fall down
I am looking for you, searching, though I’ve yet not heard the sound
Of your sweet, sweet song sung over me, which I do not know just yet
But I’ve started asking questions and I’m starting to suspect

You said ask and I will answer you and that’s just what you did
I asked where were you, you showed me and you took away the lid
Hiding all the evil and confusion that was in my soul
So I gave my life to you and asked for you to take control

(hold on D)And now I hear your song:

I have loved and I will love you all your life
Though your ways had brought you far from me I paid a hefty price
I bought your soul with pain and death, but it was nothing in my eyes Compared to having you my love, you are my joy you are my prize

So now I am in your love and I will never be apart
From your presence and your spirit because now you’re in my heart
Even death will never separate, nor things I’m fighting through
So now I’m learning how to sing your song and I will sing for you:

Chorus B

You have loved me and so I will love you with all of my life
For though I was lost you came for me, though I was dark inside
You have changed me and now I am yours, you have filled me with your life
So I’ll sing to you O Father Spirit Son, you’re my delight!

Ooooo ooooo

So I lay me down to serve you and to love those that you love
To build up the broken and point those entrapped to look above
To go after those gone far from you as some came after me
To point them to the love that kept you gasping there upon the tree.

Lalalalalalalalalala(lots of la’s)

So Your Kingdom's, growing spreading as more people come to you
You put your spirit in Our hearts and keep us in all that we do
We are now you're children and your bride, a holy, chosen family
We will praise you in sweet joy and endless love for all eternity!





P.S. For anyone who is wondering where gasping comes from, as far as I know, when people were crucified, b/c of the way they were hanging, they would be mostly unable to breathe and suffocating to death. What a brutal and horrible suffering Jesus did for us. He really loves us a lot. May we know it more and more!

When... a love song

When I'm afraid to face myself,
You're not afraid of me.
When I feel cold or hard inside,
With different eyes you see....you see me.

Somtimes I tend to "run" from you;
Don't know why I'm afraid.
Your arms and love are wide enough
To hold me e'en when mistakes I've made, and by my side you've stayed.

Chorus:
You're the faithful lover of my heart
You're by my side, we'll never part
You're love is strong and it is true
That's why I love to be with you, to be with you.

Bridge
When I am dark you shine a light
and when I cry you hold me tight
When I am lost you lead the way
When I fall down you carry me
