Because Of You
Because of You, Yahweh, my Lord
I am now able withstand the storm
Able to look ahead to the rainbow
Knowing the blessings You will perform
Because of You, I can stand strong
Knowing that through the Blood of your Son
That even the battle may have been lost
The War has been won
Because of You, My Father above
In the bleakest, darkest plight
I am able to look forward
Knowing that You will provide the light
Because of You, I know
That regardless of what may seem to be
You have already provide the best
Along my path for me
Because of You, my Creator
I am able to be thankful for yesterdays
Thankful for the joy that was shared
Before time parted its ways
Because of You I can smile
In remembrance of the times past
And still look forward to the future
When with You, all good things will last
Because of You, My Saviour
I have a new understanding
And acceptance
Of what things must be
Because of You, I live
I have the ability to enjoy my life,
To find simple pleasures and joy
Amid the temporary strife

Don't Be Ashamed in Your Time of Need
Don't be ashamed in your time of need
Stretch out your hand-you will find
My hand outstretched to you
Reach out and grasp a hold of mine
When you are feeling low
And need to be lifted up high
Don't hide away from the world
Don't give up with a sigh
I am here for you at all times
In every instance, every situation
There are no limits
There is no condition
There is no need for you to suffer alone
When you have someone here for you
No need for you to hide away
I am here for you to turn to
I am Yahweh, God Almighty
Ready to answer your prayer
I am your provider, your deliverer
Here for you, because I care

Father
Father, I feel so dirty and unclean
Man has soiled my very body
He's taken for his own pleasure
In everyway, he's used me
No Father, not a mirror
There I do not want to go
How? Look at me!
I'm as clean as fresh snow
Father, I feel so broken apart
Man has battered me in every way
Yet, there is no escape
I can't get away
My Saviour, Your stripes, your scars
Somehow have healed me
My body is whole again
How can I ever thank Thee?
Father, I have lost all hope
My life is so full of pain
Trying to find happiness
Seems all in vain
Your Holy Spirit is comforting me
Putting a peace in my very soul
Such peace I've never imagined
I could ever know
Father I feel so frightened
Out in the world so alone
Fear has taken over me
Overwhelmed me to the bone
You've taken away the fear
And put strength in it's place
I know You are with me
No matter what the case
Father, Satan has attacked my life
Bringing so much misery
He's torn my whole world apart
And taken away all that's special to me
How have you done it?
Turning his works around
Everything has worked for my good
You crushed his evil ways all the way down
Father, I am alone
And don't know what to do
I don't know what path to take
Or if this life, I'll get through
You gave me Your Word
To lead me through my strife
And through Your grace,
With You, Eternal Life
