My Hero
Verse 1
There’s an open road, to our perfect day
With no undue blocks, situated in our way
Sail from coast to coast, a vibrant voyage
City lights that glisten right above the bridge
Chorus
Take my hand, basking in the sunset
Let’s go write our memories in the sand
The night is ours, embracing who we are
Right here, as we gaze under the stars
My hero, yes you are
Verse 2
Walking hand in hand, proceed to the pier
Contemplate the views, that we both revere
A momentous time, subtle candlelight
Of the times we...

With Love
Verse 1
The yearning to relate, convey and demonstrate
Desires interchanged, of pathways rearranged
To be enamoured of, a treasured soul
My ever one true love, to so unfold
A clear scenic sky, a hand to hold
Of memories passing by, let love evolve
Chorus
This is my gift to you, I’m sending this with love
I’m sending this with love
Embracing all that’s true, with faithfulness to you
I’m sending this with love
Verse 2
Of wisdom to engage, with letters to a page
Evoke and captivate, connected hearts relate

Imagine
Verse 1
Imagine if you could go beyond, the shackles of the chains and bonds
To truly love again, just imagine
Imagine if you could touch the sky and climb a wall like ten feet high
To open your heart, just imagine
Ooh just imagine, ooh just imagine
Verse 2
Imagine if you could unify, a broken past, bitten twice shy
To be vulnerable, just imagine
Imagine if you could crumble down, the walls created to surround
To remove the guards, just imagine
Ooh just imagine, ooh just imagine
Bridge
A new perspective there to...

Picture Perfect
Verse 1
No two paths the same, in this complex game
There are journeys that cannot be understood
To have loved and lost, at no greater cost
The unwholesome rightly turned around for good
Chorus
This is our picture perfect, yeah
This is our picture perfect, oh yeah
With untangled rods, against the odds, we’re an undivided team
There’s no mystery or disharmony, rising from our history
For the past is gone, I am focused on, beginnings forthcoming
Well beyond the bridge, this journey is unfolding
Verse 2

I Will Seek Your Face
Verse 1
As we proclaim to the king, ever sounding nations sing
Of wisdom inspiring, faithful in his promising
Of such love that stands unchanged, embrace the power in the name
Of such honour and majesty, he has come to set us up free
Chorus X2
I will seek your face (come and testify)
I will seek your face
Come and take your place
I will seek your face

Of miracles throughout the land and so revere his mighty hand
His only son that he did raise, for he is worthy of my praise
Standing by his covenant,...

Rebuilding the Walls of Jerusalem
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/rebuilding-the-walls-of-jerusalem
To be rebuilt, to be restored, to re-establish broken walls
Of former gates now rising up, to them that will rejoice
On assignment from the palace
Nehemiah of noble rank
With zest and zealous zeal
A great work to begin, relinquish finding fault
Continue the consigned course, even if by force
A purposeful quest, yet enemies seek to oppress
Chosen people of Jerusalem
Their aim to hinder
To turn our plans to cinders, of ruin again
Aside from jeers and jokes,...

Daniel in the Lion’s Den
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/daniel-in-the-lions-den
To govern at large, with depth and reason
King Darius ruler of the kingdom
Presidents for a land of size
The king thought Daniel to be wise
Princes appointed honourably
Filled with growing jealousy
Daniel served so faithfully
Others watched him carefully
Faultless find, a call to stay
Devotion daily, time to pray
A plot to have him done away
Of treatment in a wicked way
A king with pride deep at the core
Presidents helped to plan the law...

Wonderfully Made
Verse 1
To go beyond comparison, no place to overplay
The potter of unique design, brought new life to the clay
Unwholesome talk, within my walk, of that I will release
I’m truly made in your image, I am your masterpiece
Chorus
Formed by your hand, beautiful and wonderfully made
Knowing who I am, honouring the life you gave
You have made a mark of victory
To partake in your plan
I present a unique offering
To the voice I understand
I am wonderfully made
Verse 2
Authentic worth, embrace your word,...

Ready to Live
Verse 1
With truth emerged, to stand in line I’m on the verge
A full embrace, the time has come to run my race
Born and raised, with humbleness I will amaze
A southern town, strengthened roots lay underground
Chorus
I’m ready to live, my all declared of which to give
I’m destined to soar, a soulful rising shall befall
I’m ready to live, a challenged past I will forgive
A boundless find, this opportunity is mine
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Bridge
My quest defined, with character and soul aligned
No time to wait,...

A Prophet Called
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/a-prophet-called
Strong Syrians at war against the Israelites
Yet followed a period of peace
Though no threat was posed, an enemy arose, from a foreign land
Fear drew in, the Assyrian king, was set to conquer all
Armies assembled from the border-land
O’ Ninevah city, a promised place
Radical residence of idol worshippers
Servers not of the living God, of what would become
A change of ways, lest they be destroyed
A chosen prophet foreseeable and called
A request to Jonah, awake the city
Of mercy...

A Giant Defeated
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/a-giant-defeated-2
Between the two, a valley lay
Israelites and Philistines beckoning war
Out of the camp of the Philistines
A towering giant would arise
Heavily clad, defiant and bold
So to sway the staff of his spear
A nation in fear, as was King Saul
Forty days of terror
Armies advancing in battle
Yet to defeat
As Israelites retreat in the sight of David
Stood in dismay
Honours and riches, marital reward
To he who can defeat the giant
A due attack with staff and sling ...

Dedication of Samuel
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/dedication-of-samuel
A graceful time of ruling
Appointed judge
Ruler of the people, keeper of the land
In a place of promise, Israelites reside
As the year draws near, voyage to Shiloh
Called to worship, offer your sacrifice
Here Hannah would pray
To grant her a son, Lord have your way
A solemn request
To ask of God, an answered prayer
Arrival of Samuel, so to dedicate
From a time of birth, till weaning transpired
His time had come
A due journey to the high-priest ...
