Why O Lord? 02:57
Why, O Lord, do you stand far away? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? Where are you Lord where could you be? “How long, O Lord, will you forget me? How long will you hide your face from me? Where are you Lord where could you be? How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy walk over me? Oh Lord Oh Lord please mercy on me My eye wastes away because of my grief; it grows weak cause all of my foes all my foes surround me Where are you Lord where could be? How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy walk over me? Oh Lord Oh Lord please mercy on me How long Lord? Where are you Lord where could you be?

Refuge 03:13
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge, my fortress. My God, in whom I trust. He will deliver Me from snares of the fowler Under his wings I will find refuge. My God, Most High! You are my refuge You will not fear the terror of the night nor the arrows that fly by days light. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, My God, in whom I trust. He will deliver no evil shall be befall you. no plague come near your home. My God, Most High! You are my refuge My refuge my refuge. He will command his angles to guard you. on their hands they will bear you up won’t strike your foot on the stone. Trample on the lion and the adder My God, in whom I trust. He will deliver He will hold you fast in his love. Rescue you and show salvation My God, Most High! You are my refuge My refuge my refuge.

The Lord’s my light. Whom shall I fear? The Lord’s my stronghold. Whom shall I fear? The evil come. I will not fear The armies rise. I will not fear I will dwell in the house of Lord Teach me your way or Lord lead me on the path. The Lord’s my Shepard. Whom shall I fear? The Lord’s my keeper. Whom shall I fear. The gnashing teeth. I will not fear Of the enemy. I will not fear I will dwell in the house of Lord Teach me your way or Lord lead me on the path. Solo My salvation. Whom shall I fear? My restoration. Who shall I fear In the sheltered tent. I will not fear Shouts of joy. I will not fear I will dwell in the house of Lord Teach me your ways oh Lord lead me on the path.

Be Still 03:01
Though the earth gives way, And the mountains move To the heart of the sea, Be still! Be Still The nations rage, And the kingdoms fall To ends of earth Be Still Be still The wars shall cease Arms turn to peace Break the bow Shatter the spear Be still and know I am God. The Chariot burns Consumed with fire From ash to ash Be still Be Still The wars shall cease Arms turn to peace Break the bow Shatter the spear Be still and know I am God. The wars shall cease Arms turn to peace Break the bow Shatter the spear Be still and know I am God.

Home 04:07
The mountains rose, and the valleys sank The grass grows by the river bank The beast drink watch them feast The birds soar on winds of the northeast In your wisdom you made our home In your glory you spoke the sun Light of the world never alone Holy spirt, father, son From the heavens you water the earth. The vine grows you bring rebirth. Work the soil the original plan Wine to gladden the hearts of man In your wisdom you made our home In your glory you spoke the sun Light of the world never alone Holy spirt, father, son Bless the Lord, O my soul! Praise the Lord! In your wisdom you made our home In your glory you spoke the sun Light of the world never alone Holy spirt, father, son
