1. Rocks in My Shoes – inspired by Psalm 76
I’ve got rocks in my shoes LORD
I’m tested morning til night
Yet every day is a new day
To wield the sword and honour vows
Oh great is Your name LORD
You are the one to be feared
Who can stand in Your presence LORD
You are, You are the KING
Let all around you bring tribute
You are the One to be feared
You cut off the breath of princes
And inspire awe from the kings of earth
CHORUS
BRIDGE
From the heavens you uttered judgement
You broke the fiery arrows of the bow
The shield, the sword and the battle You won
The earth feared, the earth was still
CHORUS

2. Oh Glory – inspired by Psalm 30
Oh Glory, oh Glory
Oh how You keep me alive
Oh Glory oh Glory
I lift Your name up high
I lift Your name up high, I lift Your name, I lift Your name up high
Oh LORD You keep, my mountain strong
And to You I make my plea
Not just once, no, not twice, no
But every day, it’s You I need LORD
It’s You I need, It’s You I need LORD
CHORUS
You turned my sadness, into dancing
How You clothed me with joy
For Your anger lasts, only for a moment!
But Your grace goes on and on,
It goes on and on, it goes on and on
Oh Glory, oh Glory
Oh how You keep me alive
Oh Glory oh Glory
I lift Your name up high
I lift Your name up high, I lift Your name
I’ll never be shaken, I’ll never be shaken
I’ll never be shaken, I’ll never be shaken
I lift Your name
I lift Your name – up – high

4. Our Town
Take this heart, on your sleeve
Place it on, the one in need
Take these eyes that can see a light
You know it’s going to be alright
Our town is crumbling into the sea
So link hands with your community
Speak loud without saying a word
Let the LORD guide your steps
And you’ll be heard
Take this pain that is deep inside
The healing comes, in the darkest night
Despair is real when the world has changed
But hope is strong in the brave
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Take your steps one by one
Let your path shine like the sun
It’s not too late to live your truth
Let your actions bear good fruit
Our town is crumbling into the sea
So link hands with your community
Speak loud without saying a word
Let the LORD guide your steps
And you’ll be heard

5. THIS DAY
LORD I thank You for the breath of life
That You give to me each day when You open my eyes
LORD let my words be like, oil to calm the mind
And my actions each day, please let them be kind
This day, this day, that the LORD has made
This day, this day, don’t let it slip away
LORD I thank You I can choose not to be blind
To the pain and suffering of the struggling mankind
LORD I know we were never meant to be alone
In isolation locked away, in our homes
This day, this day, that the LORD has made
This day, this day, has something to say
Don’t let it slip away
This day, this day, that the LORD has made
This day, this day, has something to say
Don’t let it slip away
BRIDGE
Turn to Your brother, turn to your sister
This day has a special mission of its own
Be an energy giver not an energy taker
Let your character reflect the kaleidoscope of God
This day, this day, that the LORD has made
This day, this day, has something to say
Don’t let it slip away
This day, this day, that the LORD has made
This day, this day, has something to say
Don’t let it slip away

6. You’ve Been Good – inspired by Psalm 13
You’ve been good, You’ve been good to me O LORD
You’ve been good
How long, must I feel anguish in my soul
And feel such, deep sorrow in my heart
How long will my enemy triumph over me
Yet in Your salvation, I can rejoice
You’ve been good, You’ve been good to me O LORD
You’ve been good, all the days of my life
You’ve been good, You’ve been good to me O LORD
So I sing my praises, to You Adonai
Look at me and answer me Oh LORD
Light up my eyes, or I will sleep in death
Yes I can trust in Your loving kindness
And in Your salvation, I can rejoice
You’ve been good, You’ve been good to me O LORD
You’ve been good, all the days of my life
You’ve been good, You’ve been good to me O LORD
So I sing my praises, to You Adonai

7. Arise – lyrics taken from St Patrick’s Breast Plate Prayer
I arise today
Through the mighty strength
Of the LORD of Creation,
Of the LORD of Creation,
Speed of lightning,
Swiftness of the wind,
Depth of the sea,
Stability of the earth,
Depth of the sea,
The firmness of the rock
Hmmmmmm Creation, Creation
I arise today
Through the mighty strength
Of the LORD of Creation
Of the LORD of Creation

Walk Right In – based on Proverbs 8 about wisdom
Walk right, walk right, walk right in
Can you hear her? how wisdom cries out
At the top of the hills, along the way
There she is taking a stand, at the crossroads of life
Leading into the city beside the gates
Walk right in, and let the Son shine in
For His fruit is better than fine gold (hey!)
Walk right in, and let the Son shine in (shine in)
Let us rejoice in His whole world
Blessed is the one who listens to her
For whoever finds wisdom, finds life and love
Take her instructions instead of silver, your free will’s a powerful thing
So choose wisely and seek the LORD
Walk right in, and let the Son shine in (shine in)
For His fruit is better than fine gold (hey!)
Walk right in, and let the Son shine in (shine in)
Let us rejoice in His whole world
BRIDGE
Before the mountains and the hills were shaped
She was brought forth (walk right)
Before He had even made the land (walk right)
She was His daily joy, always rejoicing before Him (walk right)
And delighting in mankind
Walk right in, and let the Son shine in (shine in)
For His fruit is better than fine gold (hey!)
Walk right in, and let the Son shine in (shine in)
Let us rejoice in His whole world
outro
Walk right, walk right, walk right in
Walk right, walk right, walk right in
Walk right, walk right, walk right in
Walk right, walk right, walk right in

9. Glorify the Father
You keep note of all our sorrows
You collect all our tears in Your bottle
You have recorded, each one in Your book
Nothing lost, nothing wasted, overlooked
We shall glorify You Father
We shall glorify Your Son
With Your spirit here to guide us
The battle has been won
Death will not defeat us
Your grace has set us free
So bring us home to where we’re meant to be
We perform our vows to You Father (to You Father)
We shall always give you thanks (give You thanks)
Yes we shall pray without ceasing (without ceasing)
Rejoicing even through our deepest pain (deepest pain)
CHORUS
BRIDGE
When we’re afraid, we put our trust in You
Crying Abba Father won’t You help me
Victory will come in the day that we call
For the enemy, he must flee

He rebukes the one who would trample on me
God is sending, His mercy
God is sending His truth

For in You my soul has taken refuge
And in the shelter of Your wings, I shall stay

I lie among those breathing fire
My heart is steadfast, O God
My heart is steadfast and I sing and praise

And in the shelter of Your wings I shall stay
Until devastation has passed
