Misguided
You were right, I didn't listen.
Didn't hear the message
That I was missing.
Blinded by confusion,
Suffering from delusions.
Thought I heard
Encouraging words
That came from you,
But I was wrong.
You knew all along.
I was led along a different path,
In the shadows, I was blinded
By a light infused with intoxicating hues
Of a burning fire of red.
I was being led.
I'm such a fool to hear a voice,
And take it as the truth.
How could I be so wrong,
And think the guidance came from you?
It felt so right,
And every night,
I asked you, please, to guide me.
I felt the call,
But when night falls,
Deceivers hypnotised me.
I was wrong,
You were right.
I didn't listen.
I took flight.
Believed the signs came from you.
I strayed far away from truth.
Whisper to me.
Tell me the way.
Give me the strength
To face a new day.
Please hold my hand,
Tell me so clear.
Banish the night.
Show me you're here!
Hold your hand up to the forces,
Those raven black, wild, scary horses.
See them turn away and flee!
And show them you are there for me.
Please tell me.
Please show me.
You're the only one
Who really knows me.
Help me hear.

Perfection...
At least I know your name.
And I'll remember you before the fame!
Drift no more
Come to shore,
And make the sun
Drive away the rain...
Let your soul dance,
And chase away pain.
Everytime you see your reflection,
Know that God sees you as perfection.

Thankyou
I kneel to pray,
No words to say,
No pleas of things to ask for You to bring today,
No wants or needs,
Or prayers of greed,
I just want to say these words to you today...
I just pray, to say,
I thank You,
I just pray to say I'm thankful that You're near,
I just pray, to say,
I love You!
And I mean it and I know that You can hear.
I close my eyes,
I clasp my hands,
You give such peace, more than a human being can,
My path is lit
By Your sweet Grace,
And I know one day I'll see Your smiling face...
I just pray, to say,
I thank You,
I just pray to say I'm thankful that You're near,
I just pray, to say,
I love You!
And I mean it and I know that You can hear.

Draw a Line
Draw a line under your troubles,
Draw a line.
They will take away your joy
Draw a line.
Draw a line under your worries
Draw a line.
They will take away your happiness
Draw a line.
God is there for us
Wants to see us shine,
So he says to us
Draw a line, draw a line.
Draw a cross under your fears,
Draw a cross
They will only bring you tears
Draw a cross
Draw a cross under your confusion
Draw a cross
See the Lord God's face, your Saviour
Draw a cross.
God, he loves you so
Wants your strife to go
He sent His Son for us
So draw a cross, draw a cross.

Joy
We have a friend in Jesus,
He shines a light for us,
To show the way to lead us
Along the path of trust.
Look to Him and find the answers
For how to live your life,
To face the challenges we discover,
How to smile through all our strife.
(chorus)
Be the light that shines for Jesus,
Be the light that shines for others,
Be the light that shines for you,
Spread the joy in all you do.
You have got a friend in Jesus,
He will give you all you need,
Spread the joy to all who need you.
From our sins we have been freed!
He broke the chains that bound us,
He shed his blood and tears.
He came to save us from our sins and
To wipe away our sorrow and fears.
(then chorus)
