with you

you’re always with me Lord
I’m the one who turns away
help me remember Lord
where I most want to be all day
with you, with you
with you, with you
with you
I know always am
why do I consistently forget
my very finest moments
each time you make them the best yet
with you, with you
with you, with you
with you
there’s always more where that comes from
deep inside the heart of me
where I stop planning or explaining
and just be
I know my time will come
in fact its already here
a time beyond all time
whose nature finally is clear
with you, with you
with you, with you
with you

walk me home
03:45
|

|
walk me out Lord, walk me long
walk me gentle, walk me strong
shake me like a wet dog, rattle these bones of mine
and when I'm tired, walk me home
thank you, thank you, for these two still working legs
and every beat of this wandering heart
each new breath fills me with your spirit
walk me home Lord, walk me home
if its not love, then I'm letting it go
but if it is, fill me to the brim
I can't take another step without you
walk me home Lord, walk me home
thank you, thank you...

in whom we live
03:06
|

|
You made the world and all there is
you’re Lord of heaven and earth
mere human hands can’t add a thing
to your most marvellous work
in whom we live and move and have our being
You Lord
in whom we live and move and have our being
You give us all our life and breath
our true needs you supply
man made things they come and go
You never say goodbye
in whom...
all you did that we might seek
reach out to You and find
You’re never far from anyone
You always hear our cry
in whom...

always
02:07
|
|||
|
I long to be with you always
in your warm embrace all of my days
not a moment lost in misbegotten ways
just be with you always
to my own self I’ll be true
pledge my heart exclusively to you
pay no mind to what the world says
just be with always
no other call will I heed
being with you is all that I crave
no earthly delight will need
as long as I linger in your gaze
I was born to be with you
when I’m not I don’t know what to do
at day’s end beside you I will lay
and be with you always
(just) be with you always

I can't believe
03:48
|
|||
|
I can‘t believe how much I love you
love you, love you
I can’t believe how much I love you
love you, that’s what I do
there’s no fooling, with you and me
you see right through me, as clear as day
I can’t hide, so I’m free
you take my hand, and lead the way
I can't believe...
would it matter, if I left?
where could I go, you’re already there?
waiting for me, patiently
open hearted, as you’ve always been
I can't believe...
without measure, always there
sacred treasure, for all to share
may I never, take for granted
all you give me, with such grace
help me know, just what will please you
when I’m with you, face to face
I can't believe...

keep on going
03:33
|
|||
|
to the brow of the hill, I keep on...
that I never quite reach, so I keep on...
my hips are complaining, my feet are sore
I’m dying for a drink, I keep on...
scraped by thorns, I keep on...
blood starts flowing, I keep on...
insects gather, suck me dry
I’m about to die, but I keep on...
keep on going, sometimes I’d love to stop
keep on going, till I drop
I’m not alone as long as you’re with me
we keep on going, you and me
up and down, I keep on...
hills and valleys, I keep on...
the city streets, are fraught with unease
if I’m brought to my knees. I’ll keep on...
I'm beginning to wonder, I keep on...
develop heart problems, I keep on..
my ongoing story is losing weight
I mustn't be late so I keep on...
keep on going...
it’ll be ok, I keep on...
I’m not going to panic, I keep on...
I’ve lost my way, don’t know where I am
I may never get home, I keep on...
until I get there, I keep on...
I’ll be there soon, I keep on...
tired and hungry, I may stumble
but I won’t fall, I keep on...
keep on going...

precious company
03:25
|
|||
|
I'm comforted by your presence, your presence comforts me
long may I delight in your precious company
you've always been a part of me
the very deepest part
before all time is where we met
in our deep abiding heart
I'm comforted....
being with you is being indeed
time and space suspending
where we all are truly one
a story with no ending
I'm comforted...
I cannot recall at all
a time when you weren't here
the shadows shift, the hours pass
you remain my dear
I'm comforted....

God made me
04:05
|

|
God made me for this day, for this moment
for this moment, God made me
God made me for this day, for this moment
for this moment, God made me
every detail in all its glory
tells your never ending story
always with us always new
inviting us to always be with you
God made me...
I remember that you love me
more than I will ever love me
I try to put everything else aside
I in you in me abide
God made me...
each blink a fresh surprise
changing right before my eyes
each breath a gift from you
each moment all brand new
God made me...

the front of my mind
05:08
|
|||
|
for years I tried to make it on my own
I had no idea where I was going wrong
with my back turned on your guiding hand
blind and unable to understand
now I’m keeping you Lord at the front of my mind
all my troubles can fall in behind
the things I do are going to work out fine
as long as I keep you Lord at the front of my mind
you know I struggle to stay on track
too often I forget you are watching my back
you lift me up time after time
pray help me keep you Lord at the front of my mind
I’m keeping…..
this world is full of the fruits of your love
all our thanks and praise cannot thank you enough
pray we remember throughout the day
yours is the one love that never fades away
I’m keeping…..

Although George Breakfast will continue his wandering on an irregular basis, I'm mostly writing these days.
