YOU ARE THERE (from Psalm 27) The Lord is my light and my salvation every day
He is the stronghold of my life in every way
If an army were around me, even then I would not fear
For you Lord are with me, wherever I go you are there
HYMN TO THE SEA
(instrumental) THIS LOVE
Love the mountains, love the trees
Love the rustling of the leaves
Love to watch a feather glide forever
Love a boat on open seas
Love the sand between my toes
Love a snowflake on my nose
Love the beating of the sun upon my back
Love the way a river flows
Love the smell and the taste of Lavazza
Love to open a folded pizza
Love nearly everything from Italia
Can’t stop thinking about gelato and those big beef tomatoes
Love the tiger, love the frog
Love what’s cool and love what’s odd
Love of stranger, love of friend
This love will never ever end
Love my friends from Barcelona
Love the way they invite me over
When we go out it’s hard to stay sober
O Jesus come and dine and turn the water into wine
Love will bind and break the heart
Love can make a brand new start
However far away you are from me
No-one can tear our love apart
Love rejoices in success
But love of loser is no less
Love in sickness, love in health
And don’t forget to love yourself
FALLING INTO YOU
I can run, I can hide,
but nothing seems to take away this aching inside
I can break, I can bleed
but nothing seems to take me to the heart of the need
And this wound, still it weeps
Even when I’m drifting through a restless sleep
And the night accentuates
Every single place from which I’m longing to escape
O I can drive in my car
But all the oil in Arab lands won’t take me that far
And if I’m hurled into space
Earth will pull me back onto a starker place
And the desert winds will blow
I’ll be drowning in the sands with no-where left to go
And the desert winds, they will sting
As the hot dry sand bites into my skin
And there’s no sign to guide me home
Just written in the sand ‘you are not alone’
So I’ll lie down and let it be
As far as I’m concerned these waves can bury me
I am calling, calling to you
I am falling, falling to you
I am falling, falling into you…
There’s nowhere else I can turn
My feet they wouldn’t function if I wanted to
And for a moment there is calm
Seems I’m standing in the eye of the storm
And the silence is complete
And I cling to you, in the way I do
When love and safety meet...
THANK-YOU
I see you are a friend always
A shoulder to cry on when I need you there
I know that you are a real friend to me
Someone to rely on when I find life hard
I’ll be there for you too
I don’t have to tell you
Cause you know how I’m feeling
I’m not afraid when you’re here
I feel safer when you are near
Thank-you
For supporting me
Thank-you
In everything I do
Thank-you
For letting me do that too
Thank-you
For sharing secrets
Thank-you
For trusting me
Thank-you
For letting me do that too
You see when I am down, you help me through
I’m glad that you care, I care for you too
I feel that I am at home when you’re here
I can trust that you’ll be a loyal friend to me
I’ll be there for you too
I don’t have to tell you…
FLOWERS ON THE CARRIAGEWAY
Flowers on the carriageway
Every time I pass
Who tends this place so lovingly
Who makes the shoots to last?
Who darts between the traffic
Or waits till dead of night
To pull the weeds, replace the earth
And guard this sacred site
What love is this that calls from here
What void was left behind
What loneliness and loss was made
That aches with its demand
That everyone who passes here
Will notice what was done
A single, awful violence
That took your precious one
And what of I, a stranger
Whose eyes do fill with tears
Each time I see this sanctuary
Fashioned over years
Imagine to be loved like this
To inhabit someone’s heart
To guide a way of living
Inspire such gentle art…
And so to you, brave mourner
Who refuses to allow
Such loss to go unnoticed
Or be forgotten now
If I should ever find you here
Together we could stand
Command the traffic, ‘Stop, be still’
This is Holy ground…
O SIGNORE
O Signore, O Signore, O Signore
Proteggi, consola, conforta
Salva nei bisogni
Dell’anima e del corpo
I tuoi figli devoti vicini e lontani
(O Lord
Protect, console, comfort
Bind the wounds
Of the souls and bodies
Of your devoted children near and far)
KAKAMEGA
(instrumental) YOU MAKE ME FEEL WORTHWHILE
You make me feel worth-while
You give me some respect
You bring to my face a smile
You've made a change in my life
I was there - you brought me here
You gave me something no one else could give me
And now I can let go of all my fear
(chorus)
I was standing there lonely
I was standing there unsure
I was ready to just walk out the door
But you came and you saved me
You’re the only thing in my life
That means so much to me
I think about you night and day
Dream a reality or so they say
I don’t think you understand me
I wish the world could see
That you’re the best thing, the best thing
That could possibly be
(chorus)
LOST WITHOUT YOU
I’m completely lost without you
It’s impossible to see beyond you
Every time I think about you
Brings an aching deep inside
This house is far too quiet without you
Not looking for the life I lived before you
Every room, every space says something about you
There’s simply nowhere safe to hide
Just can’t imagine my world without you near
I don’t understand this fear
Just get back, as fast as you can
Whatever it takes whatever the plan
Miss your life, your way of living
Miss your special way of being
Miss your laughter, miss your touch
Miss you, oh so very much
The deep night sky stretches out forever
The distance from you seems greater than ever
And the moon and the stars in all their splendour
Simply can’t compete with you
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder
Well your being away really makes me wonder
With this heart of mine so torn asunder
Until you’re back, what shall I do?
Just can’t imagine my world without you near
I don’t understand this fear
Just get back, as fast as you can
Whatever it takes whatever the plan
Miss your life, your way of living
Miss your special way of being
Miss your laughter, miss your touch
Miss you, oh so very much
Waking up is so sad without you
I open my eyes and I’m searching for you
Reaching out to wrap my arms around you
Feel the beating of your heart
All I ask is your voice, your eyes, your breathing
To hear, and see and know the feeling
Of one who gives my life such meaning
Back within my grasp
ANGEL AT THE BREAKFAST TABLE
You’re an angel at the breakfast table
A ragamuffin home for tea
A princess of a world of wonder
So wonderful to me
You light my day with love and laughter
Turning life into a game
Now sleep in peace and I’ll protect you
Sweet and tender flame
YOU ARE LOVED
You are loved
Nothing, no-one, can take this away from you
You are lost to yourself
I am looking, searching for you
I will never rest till I find you
You are mine, I am yours
I am standing, holding on to you
I will carry, carry you to safety
