God is With Me
04:47

|
Although the years have struggled by;
though joy has scarcely come to call
and even with despair as my companion
somewhere in, the farthest depths, of my heart
i will always know (that)
Chorus
God is with me and He's blessed the work i've done
He's the truth that must define each day
All I've needed is provided by His hand
Nothing have I lacked
while I've wandered through this desert place with Him
and even though I pace the four walls of this cage
i built them yesterday myself
and though I stumble underneath the heavy load
of the wages, and the filth, of my sin; You are here

God of the Helpless
05:55
|

|
The cripple rose and folded up his bed
The ruler's daughter came back from the dead
Children loved to play and joke while sitting on His lap
The prodigal son feasted upon the fatted calf
Zacheus found salvation from His greed
The adulteress was restored her dignity
A murderer was counted among His closest friends
The blind man under judgment received his sight instead
Chorus
You are God of the helpless and the weak
Lifter of the desperate and the meek
Forgiver of the faithless and the pharisee in me
Though you hold the worlds in Your hands
Your glory You reveal through us
Mary poured her oil onto Your feet
and Paul poured out his life so gratefully
The widow in the temple left her coins to You in trust
Peter on His knees cried, “My Saviour and My God”
Through the ages You have chosen to use the weakest ones
Aware of all their failures they trusted only in Your Son
In their footsteps now we follow; our success we count as loss
Compared to the forgiveness and grace found at the cross

Help Me Up
05:43
|
|||
|
face down in the mud, hands covered in muck
rooted in sin, this is where i am stuck
fallen in this pit, covered by stones; feel my crushed bones
dungeon of sin, held deep within;
“by your choice”, echoes His voice
i can't get out, no not by myself; I need Your help
Chorus
fallen down on my face; battered & bruised & bleeding
fallen down on my face; need Someone to help me up
will You help me up?
chains wrapped so tight about my chest
habits formed so cruelly
though i struggle more, he controls me so securely
help me escape from this life that has held me captive
for so many years without constraint
i want to leave this place, move onto higher ground
i've had enough, so help me up

Pass me not, O gentle Saviour, Hear my humble cry
While on others Thou art calling, do not pass me by
Trusting only in Thy merit, would I seek Thy Face
Heal my wounded broken spirit, save me by Thy Grace
Chorus
Saviour, Saviour, hear my humble cry
While on others Thou art calling, do not pass me by
Thou the Spring of all my comfort, more than life to me
Whom have I on earth beside Thee, whom in heaven but Thee

You Are Amazing to Me
04:39

it had been a long day, and the kids had been tough
the wash was piled high in the room
between the baby and the toys and all the crazy noise
there wasn't much time to rest
but though her feet were draggin', her heart was still sayin'
i'm going to give the kids daddy my best
so when he comes home from work
there is a smile and tender kiss
a hot meal and a relaxing place to sit
she asks about his day
and sends the kids downstairs to play
she wants a few minutes of lovin' with her man
you are amazing to me, so beautiful to me
it had been a long year, seems life was tough
regrets were piled high in my mind
between the kids and the job, and trying to please God
there wasn't very much left to give
and there were times when I lost hope that we'd make it
but then I'd come home from work
there'd be a smile and tender kiss
a hot meal and a relaxing place to sit
she'd ask about my day
and send the kids outside to play
she wants a few seconds of lovin' with her man
Chorus
you are amazing to me, so beautiful to me
you are so amazing and your love so unchanging for me
you are amazing to me, so beautiful to me
you are so amazing and your faith in us unwavering

Faith to Carry On
04:55
|
|||
|
somewhere, somehow i can see through
it all will end alright
through all the seasons i cried out for a Hand
and i'm still here, i'm still here tonight
sometimes I can't see the distance;
the inconsistent fogs my sight
still though, the past has shown me the ground i walk is secure
the way is true and lit so bright
no one can explain all that is done
so i choose to lift my hands and bow my head
i won't run away, but walk on with my Lord & God
oh Jesus, carry me when I can't go on
oh Jesus, grant me strength so I can carry on

Psalm 20
03:58
|
|||
|
May God answer you when you are in distress
May the name of the God of Jacob protect you
May He send you help
and may He grant support from His sanctuary, Zion
May He not forget your offerings brought to Him
Chorus
Some trust in chariots and some in horses
But we trust in the name of the Lord our God
They fall down to their knees, but we rise and stand firm
For we trust in the name, we trust in the name of our God
May God give you the desires of your heart
May He make all of your plans succeed
We will shout for joy when you are victorious
And we will lift our banners in the name of God
Answer us Lord, when we call

Trials
04:40

Reminiscing now, it's oh, so clear
With the lesson learned, it's so much dearer
At the moment agony burned like eternity
Now in the rearview mirror, it breeds such sweet relief
Chorus
And everday in every way, by Your grace
standing taller, kneeling shorter
straining further, drawing nearer
me is all I bring, praise to You is all I sing
to my Saviour, to my Jesus
And through all this You've led; and through all this I've bled
and the wounds that heal, they testify of You
through all this bloody fight
and underneath this searing Light
that melts and burns away—i've become more like You

My faith has found a resting place, not in device or creed
I trust the Everliving One, His wounds for me shall plead
Enough for me that Jesus saves, this ends my fear and doubt
A sinful soul I come to Him, He'll never cast me out
Bridge
And though I wander, though I fear
so often hold the world so near
When I come to the end of me, there's one thing that I know
Chorus
I need no other argument, I need no other plea
It is enough that Jesus died, and that He died for me
My heart is leaning on the Word, the written Word of God
Salvation by my Savior's name, Salvation thru His blood

Day by Day
03:34

Day by day, and with each passing moment
Strength I find, to meet my trials here
Trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment
I’ve no cause for worry or for fear
He whose heart is kind beyond all measure
Gives unto each day what He deems best
Lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure
Mingling toil with peace and rest
Every day, the Lord Himself is near me
With a special mercy for each hour
All my cares He fain would bear, and cheer me
He whose Name is Counselor and Power
The protection of His child and treasure
Is a charge that on Himself He laid
“As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure”
This the pledge to me He made
Help me then in every tribulation
So to trust Thy promises, O Lord
That I lose not faith’s sweet consolation
Offered me within Thy holy Word
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting
Ever to take, as from a father’s hand
One by one, the days, the moments fleeting
Till I reach the promised land

barrypeters Lloydminster, Alberta
Welcome! I've been playing music since I was 3-4 years old: piano, violin, clarinet, drums and guitar. I am passionate about music because through it God moves us and speaks to us about His grace, truth and righteousness. I hope you enjoy my mixture of folk, classical, rock and blues music. ... more
