Listen 03:37
Here in the silence the land is speaking to you There is strength in renewal Spring hasn't forgotten to come back this year So Listen, listen in the quiet and hear that still small voice There is freedom to walk as far as the eye can see One foot ahead of the other, so listen There is healing as you look out This song is rising up in you Just breathe in the landscape Let the air fill your lungs with new life

It's Alright 03:44
It’s alright to not have it all together It’s alright to not always have the answers And when you feel the weight of the world Weighing down upon your shoulders Just remember that no matter where you are You will never be alone Don’t you know It’s in these times of tension You will grow Into a stronger person Don’t you know So be patient, be kind As gentle and as constant as the waves Not at first, but in due time Your efforts will be worthwhile It’s alright to not have it all together It’s alright to not always have the answers And when you feel the weight of the world Weighing down upon your shoulders Just remember that no matter where you are You will never be alone Don’t you know That even if you fall You will fall into The loving arms of God Don’t you know So be patient, be kind As gentle and as constant as the waves Not at first, but in due time Your efforts will be worthwhile

What if being broken doesn't mean that it's over What if you know me better than I know myself What if asking questions is the way to move forward Even though it's so hard to go towards the unknown Oh remind me of your goodness You're the one who makes strength out of my weakness Oh remind me of your goodness You're the artist I'm a work in progress What if making mistakes just means that I’m learning what if I know that I'm growing only when I look back What if I cling too tightly and I need to let go So I can walk in the way that you want me to go what if simply listening is the most important action What if being alone is a chance to be with you what if the present moment is a cause for rejoicing just to know that you have me and I am yours

Fixed to your coming is my earthly gaze I hope in your promise and trust in your ways I know you are love And only good things can come from you All creation groans, all creation is longing The trees are creaking we are waiting For your restoration to come You bring transformation in mysterious ways I’m free by your spirit and saved by your grace I seek for you daily Because i know that your work is ongoing All creation sings, all creation is shouting The trees are dancing, we are clapping For your restoration has come So burst into song you trees of the forest For God has redeemed us, yes His hand has done this All creation sings, all creation is shouting The trees are dancing, we are clapping For your restoration has come

Too stiff and scared to move Don’t want to be stuck in this groove forever I’ve been waiting and longing and asking and praying But all that’s left to do is sit in this tired chair And wait here for you, and wait here for you are there You are there You’re not ashamed to call me your child Slowly I will take my hands from my eyes I will see the colours in the painted skies That you have made for me, that you have made for me I need to realize you won’t let this fear come and paralyze me For you are lover and healer, creator and Father I can feel your touch, your hand is on my shoulder And I am grateful for you, I am grateful for you are there You are there
6.
How can I breathe If I'm not at peace, Not at peace within. Oh let me be free Where my mouth can be open, And my words be heard by you. Then, will my thoughts Reach out like leaves To touch you in the sky, And my feet, like a tree Will extend into The earth below me. Je vois le grand héron qui vole, Mon repère dans le ciel. Je te rejoindrai mon ami, Un jour j'aurai des ailes.

You are the good shepherd and I am the sheep You are my provider you know all my needs You quiet my fears and give me your peace You watch over me, bring me back to my feet And I know that you’re with me Your presence it comforts me I love you I love you I love you I love you You’ve prepared the way, gone ahead of me You’re ready to protect, to fight the enemy You fill me with your spirit, it’s all that I need To live at peace with those around me And you know what’s coming next In you I find my rest I love you I love you I love you I love you Now help me to live in the truth that sets free Knowing all that I have, you’ve given me Let this grace and this love become an overflow To touch the lives of the people I know With you I’m satisfied You keep me close to your side I love you I love you I love you I love you
