Thy Spirit’s Descent
https://soundcloud.com/user-921599710/thy-spirits-descent
The day of Pentecost had fully come, as they met in one accord
A sudden sound, a mighty wind, a token of the Lord
Cloven flames, tongues of fire, as thy sprit thus descent
Prepareth the soul for gentle gales, yet convicted to repent
A miracle yet of the mind, upon prophets of old
To preach to nations intelligibly, effects to thus unfold
Perplexed and thus bewildered, as languages be spake
Other tongues of utterance, the faith of Christ awake
A solemn feast brought to a...

Highest Praise
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/highest-praise
Beyond the rooftops
Above the clouds and skies
To the highest mountain
So be lifted high
In the midst of storms
In uncertain days
In times of gladness
So I give you praise
With an awesome cheer
You’re my guide and ruler
I will dance with joy
Singing hallelujah
With a joyful step
We shall not retreat
Dance of victory
You have won defeat
Resounding praises
Oh my Lord you reign
Instrumental song
Power in the name ...

Raise this Generation
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/raise-this-generation
Without a standard, no deviation
Accrued sin brings separation
Feeling lost individuation
Poor mistakes upon rotation
From a worldly fascination
To a godly motivation
Bring forth a realisation
Praise the Lord a proclamation
Influence a growing nation
Be their light and elevation
Changing friends of adoration
Create a right manifestation
Overcome the devastation
Intercede with mediation
Reform the civilisation
Let us raise this...

It’s Already Done
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/its-already-done
Faithful promise, it’s already done
Our battle is over, he’s already won
Kingdom greatness, resides within
Our provider, out trust in him
In your presence, soul set free
The true source of security
Surrounding light, always near
Casting darkness, doubt and fear
That of future, in your hands
Alignment with your divine plans
Outstretched arms, I can confess
Attentive father there to bless
Angels sent at your command
Miracles yet...

Love Will Find A Way
Verse 1
Of heights we have to soar, with the one that I adore
Together dynamically, a true magnetic force
The faith of which to grow, for goodness will follow
Tested through the trials, faith of purest gold
Chorus
Love will find a way, love will find a way
Oh oh oh, find a way
Through every obstacle, we’ll withstand the storms
With all perseverance, we will face it all
Verse 2
The forest may be dense, of days with all suspense
We shall overcome, it has no permanence
Each day is not the same, of lessons...

In your Sight
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/in-your-sight
Life will test, challenges arise
Look beyond the shore
Eye on the prize, to they that are wise
Be not hidden in your eyes
In your presence be still
A void that only God can fill
Drawn ever closer, whether near or far
Be my desire
A flow of wants, pre-listed needs
The flesh that feeds, to which I plead
Holy Spirit intercede – divinely lead
Let your rivers overflow
In the streams of life
Whether wrong or right, by day, by night
In darkness or light
Let me...

No Limit
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/no-limit
An abundant harvest, workers may be few
Place no limit on what God can do
Some will appear to exemplify the best
No restrictions on who God can bless
When barriers present appear to stay
He makes ways, where there is no way
Of situations that hinder and stall
You can arise beyond the fall
When doors shut and others refuse
Unceasing ways in which God can choose
In spite of shadows, moments of fear
Fathomless times when God can appear
Trials and tribulations are experiential ...

Sunset at the Jazz Cafe
Verse 1
Strike a chord, sensational
Atmosphere relational
Rhythmic flavour, wonderful
Tempo combinational
Bridge
Soulful styles, set to sooth
A joyful mix, get in the groove
Improvising to the beat
Rendition, repeat
Chorus
A starry, dreamy, bright array
Such instrumental harmony
Side by side as players play
Celebration certainly
Sunset at the jazz cafe
Verse 2
Drum and trumpet at a pace
For an alternating chase
Melodies that interlace
Fusion of a lower base ...

Ever-Green
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/ever-green
Deep and unyielding, replenished root
Spiritual refreshment, aside the riverbank
Resolutions for the righteous
Drink of the living water
Flowing from the throne of God
A sanctified stream
Running through, running over
Bath in the overflow
Transplanted, transformed
Radiantly renewed
Ever-green, ever-new
A ray of light of readiness therein
Renewed realisations
Reassured restoration, revitalization
Gracious refinement
Rejoice in season fruits ever-bearing ...

To Him that is Risen
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/to-him-that-is-risrn
To him that is risen, in him I am forgiven
To him that wears the crown, where true love can be found
To him that is the Saviour, blesses us with favour
To him of mighty strength, to you I can repent
To him who can perform, miracles to forlorn
To him of sovereign worth, our ruler of the earth
To him that restores peace, where wonders never cease
To him the gates allow, where even angels bow
To him yet seated high, to which I can rely
To him of thirst relief, of faith with sure...
