V1
You came down to Earth
As the light of the world.
You came, You taught, You died, You rose again.
Now I have this desire
That can't be told
Because Your love has sparked in me a flame.
You put this passion in my heart
So I'll stand up for You,
And no matter what
You will shine through.

Chorus
It's like fire burning in my heart,
Fire burning bright.
There's Your fire burning in my soul,
And I want them all to know.
I want the world to see
That it's your fire in me.

V2
It doesn't matter what people say,
They don't know why You came.
They don't know Your love,
They only see this flame.
I'm gonna hold this light high
For all to see.
I'll shine it from the mountain top,
This light You've put in me.


Chorus x2
It's like fire burning in my heart,
Fire burning bright.
There's Your fire burning in my soul,
And I want them all to know.
I want the world to see
That it's your fire in me.

(Suggested key: F)

Fire

V1
How did the quiet of the night come to be?
And how about the crashing of the sea?
How did the darkness depart from the light?
And the day emerge from the night?
These things make me feel so big and yet so small.
They make me want to hear Your voice so much more.

Chorus
You spoke the colours in the sunset.
You shaped the beauty of the sea.
You blew the whisper in the wind.
You put the power in the lightning.
And that makes me wonder,
Does Your voice really sound like thunder?

V2
When You whisper does the wind blow?
And how is it that You always know?
When you cry does it rain?
And if I knew all these things, would I still feel the same?
But there's always these questions on my mind,
With all the power in Your voice, does it still sound like mine?

Chorus
You spoke the colours in the sunset.
You shaped the beauty of the sea.
You blew the whisper in the wind.
You put the power in the lightning.
And that makes me wonder,
Does Your voice really sound like thunder?

These things make me feel so big and yet so small.
They make me long to hear your voice so much more.

(Suggested chord progression: G, Em, C, D)

Thunder

V1
For every time you met my gaze,
For every time you make me smile,
For every moment spent together,
Even for a little while.
For every time you hold my hand,
For every time you pull me close,
For every heartbeat missed,
This is what I love the most.

Chorus
For the way you love me the way you do,
The way I couldn't live without you.
It's for the way our heart beats beat as one,
For the way you pull me together when I've come undone.

V2
For every time we walk hand in hand,
For every time we kiss goodnight.
For every time you put your arms around me and hold me tight.
For every secret whispered,
For every feeling told,
For those sleepless nights,
And together growing old.

Chorus
For the way you love me the way you do,
The way I couldn't live without you.
It's for the way our heart beats beat as one,
For the way you pull me together when I've come undone.

Second chorus
For the way I love you the way I do,
For the way that every time
You pull me through.
For the way our our heartbeats fall in line,
For the way I fall for you
Time after time.

(Suggested key: Bb)

The Way You Love Me

V1
A single tear slipped
Showing the pain inside,
But don't worry, I know you didn't see.
If only you knew
How much it hurt
When you went and deserted me.
You were..

Chorus
Always your friend to talk to.
Always, through the years.
Always your shoulder to cry on,
Always there to dry your tears.
But what you never saw, in-between my smiles,
Was when my tears would fall,
No one was there to dry my eyes.

V2
I can see how gently
You hold her close.
It nearly rips me in two.
I know you never were
Never truly mine,
But now I've truly lost you.
'Coz you were...

Chorus
Always your friend to talk to.
Always, through the years.
Always your shoulder to cry on,
Always there to dry your tears.
But what you never saw, in-between my smiles,
Was when my tears would fall,
You weren't there to dry my eyes.

Closing bridge
It's like she possesses you,
And suddenly you're not allowed to care.
You haven't even noticed
That I'm not there.

(Suggested chord progression: F, C, Dm, Bbsus2)

Always

V1
When the lightning flashes,
When the thunder rolls,
And I feel so small.
When I'm in the dark,
Though I'm alone,
I know You wont let me fall.

Chorus
You're the light to my path,
The lamp to my feet,
You're my inner strength when all hope is gone.
You're my shelter, my rock
My courage, my hope,
I trust in you alone.

V2
When the darkness is all around,
When peace cannot be found,
I can see Your light shining through.
When chaos and lies
Infect our lives,
I know that the answer is You.

Chorus
You're the light to my path,
The lamp to my feet,
You're my inner strength when all hope if gone.
You're my shelter, my rock,
My courage, my hope,
I trust in you alone.

Bridge (x2)
Every time I sing these words,
Every time I say Your name,
I get this feeling inside,
A joy I can't explain.

Chorus (x2)
You're the light to my path,

You're my inner strength when all hope if gone.

My Hope

V1
When the tears would fall
You'd be the one wipe them dry.
When I was feeling happy
It was you who'd help me to fly.

Bridge 1
When you said you loved me
I knew that it was right
Because it was you who held my hand
Through the darkness of the night.
And..

Chorus
I love you, I adore you,
I want to live just for you.
Every tear that I cry
I know that you will dry.
Hold me in your arms,
All my fears you calm.
And I know that you love me.

V2
I'd gladly do anything for you,
'Coz I know you'd do the same for me.
Our love has been trial and error,
Just like the longest journey.

Bridge 2
We battled it out
Though it was rough,
But all of our trials have made us tough
And...

Chorus
I love you, I adore you,
I want to live just for you.
Every tear that I cry
I know that you will dry.
Hold me in your arms,
All my fears you calm.
And I know that you love me

Bridge 1
When you said you loved me I knew that it was right,
Because it was you who held my hand through the darkness of the night.

Because You Love Me

V1
I was kneeling before Him,
With my burdens weighing me down.
He held out His hand and said
"I'll take them now".
I felt ashamed,
As I gave it to Him,
Finally feeling the wretchedness
Of my own sin.

Chorus
But I looked up to see His face,
All around I could feel His grace.
When I saw the shadow fall upon me
I knew I was kneeling in the shadow of Calvary.

V2
Oh this place that makes
All your burdens fall away.
Never knowing that all along
You could have felt this way.
He stretched out His arms
And he died for you
To think of all he did,
All the pain He went through

Chorus (X2)
But I looked up to see His face,
All around I could feel his grace.
When I saw the shadow fall upon me
I knew I was kneeling in the shadow of Calvary.

(Suggested chord progression: D,A,Bm,G)

Shadow of Calvary

V1
Just a wish,
One small sigh.
While sitting quietly as the world goes by.
Not wanting to disappear, not wanting to fade from reality.
Doesn't know how to stop it, not wanting to 'let it be'.

Chorus
When his life isn't going right,
When he's awake in the night,
Wondering where he went..
He went wrong.
Every time that he's alone,
Every time he wonders why.
And every time it's because he waited too long.

V2
The opportunity was gone,
When he finally found the words to say.
And it's because he took too long
To tell her that he felt that way.
Just wanted to hold her close,
Just wanted to draw her near.
He'd tell her that he loved her,
He'd whisper it in her ear.

Chorus
When his life isn't going right,
When he's awake in the night,
Wondering where he went..
He went wrong.
Every time that he's alone,
Every time he wonders why.
And every time it's because he waited too long.

And every time, she's gone,
He waited too long.

About Me

Bio

I'm 37 years old and work in education as a teachers aide. I love my job so much I decided to study primary teacher and am currently in my third year of study! I have a beautiful family of my own with two children in high school and one in primary. I studied piano in my younger years with the hope to go on to college and study it further, unfortunately I never made it that far but I still enjoy playing when I get the chance now I'm older. Songs I have written have just been out of my love of creating for myself, but I hope other can enjoy them too. I have never been a performer, definitely a behind the scenes kind of person.
