01 waitin’ on me
Psalm 130
I’ve been waitin’ a long time now
I’ve been counting every hour
I’ve been listenin’ to hear Your voice
But the only thing I hear is noise
I’ve been longin’ to see Your face
I’ve been searchin’ for You everyplace
Well don’t You see me cryin’ in the dark
Won’t You satisfy my willing heart?
Then I look to the east and I see
Your sunrise- You break through the night
Then I look to the west and I see
Your sunset- I know I’ve been blessed
Being able to finally see that
All this time- oh I was waitin’ on You
You were waitin’ on me
Funny how I’ve been so blind
While each day held all the signs
Please forgive me Lord for wanting proof
Now I look and all I see is You
And You’re all around me
If I stop and I listen
The air - the trees
And Your love for me
No- I can’t believe
No- No- what I’ve been missin’

02 oh to be the moon
(rock ballad version)
Psalm 19:1-3
Oh to be the moon
Is what I want to be
To be a mirror way up high
And to be the moon
I’d be set apart
Shining brightly
In a dark blue sky
To be a reflection
Of The Mighty One
To be a testimony
When we cannot see the sun- and
Shine Shine Shine
With a light that’s not my own
Down upon a world
That can’t live without You- and
Climb Climb Climb
Higher to become
A better image of the Son
Oh to be the moon
You illuminate my life
With the falling of Your rays
Into the craters of my heart
And through each phase of mine
You never leave me ‘lone
No, You guide me through the darkness
And Your light leads me home
I was so cold and lonely
My heart was hardening
But now I got Your Spirit in me
And all I can do is sing- and

03 masterpiece
Ephesians 2:10
I don’t always like
What I see in the mirror
And my face ain’t getting any clearer
And these jeans
Well they’re fittin’ pretty tight
This battle for beauty is an uphill fight
I wake up in the mornin’
And the war is on
Magazines and beauty queens
Channel and Revlon
Everywhere I turn I start to compare
And I hate this envy
It gets me nowhere- but
You say I am
And what You say is true
I’m a masterpiece created by You
Because You say I am
And what You say is true
I’m a masterpiece created by You
Oh ‘cause You say
Oh ‘cause You say- I am
This world keeps tellin’ me
That I’m not good enough
And if I change a thousand things
Well I just might be loved
And I’ve bought these lies so long
I’ve been tricked and deceived
Oh father help me
Won’t You help me to believe- that
I don’t wanna fall
Into the pattern of this world
I wanna see things from Your view
‘Cause beauty fades
And charm does deceive
And I really need to stand
Upon Your truth
So help me know the Truth
And I don’t always see
What You see in the mirror
But then You remind me and You
You draw me nearer
I’ll keep runnin’ right back to You
‘Cause no one loves me
The way that You do- ‘cause

04 be still
(techno version)
Psalm 37:7
Another day has ended
Another day is done
Another day passes
As I watch the setting sun and I
Sometimes I wonder
As I lay here in the night
I think about the future
The rest of my life
But I know You know my name
I hear You whisperin’ the same
“Be Still”
I wake up in the mornin’
I look up toward the sky
I gaze upon the highway
See those cars passin’ by and I
I wonder where they’re goin’
Where have they been?
What are they seekin’?
What is drivin’ them within?
Well everything is movin
Everywhere I turn
And everything is movin’ around me
Oh- but I know You know me
You know me well
And You have a plan for me
Oh- help me wait and see
The trees are blowin’
In the wind
The leaves are dancin’
As this world spins
All of creation
Is keepin’ time
Your Spirit moves them
In rhythm and rhyme
And Lord- You know I hate to wait
Father help me to have faith
To be still
