The Garden 03:21
A man standing in a garden, I look up, I look around I see a new creation Good things are surrounding me Face to face with the gardener, he says it’s all for me Rivers and fields and plants and creatures Just stay away from that one tree Chorus 1 Woah, this is how it started, from love we were created. The gardener made me a helper ‘cause it’s not good to be alone We’re built to live, to love, to honour With Him as our cornerstone Chorus 2 Woah, this is how it started, from love we were created. Woah, with a loving heart imparted, for love we were created. I know the garden is perfect But could it be even better If we were more like the gardener If we tried to be the gardener? Chorus 3 Woah, this is how it started, from love we were created. Woah, with a loving heart imparted, for love we were created. Woah, it was perfect in the garden, why did we try to change it? Woah, please don’t leave us stranded, a people disconnected.

Promise 05:30
We’re on a journey, a journey of discovery We’re all searching, searching for something clear Daylight fades away again (the night draws in) Find a place to lay my head (the night draws in) It’s time to rest it’s time to sleep (night draw in) I close my eyes, I fall into a dream, you wouldn’t believe some of the things I’ve seen. There’s a ladder between the earth and the sky and a man come down is calling me I’ll stay with you, I’ll stand by you, wherever you go I will bring you home. I will bring you home. I’ll stick with you, I’ll stand by you, I will do everything I’ve promised you. I have promised you. It’s not so easy to put your faith in someone else It’s so tempting, to forget who is in charge Speak your word unto me now (I’ll trust in you) Please renew my faith again (I’ll trust in you) It’s something good, it’s something true (trust in you) I know you’ll protect me ‘cause you said you would. I know you’ll provide me with clothes and food. I know you’ll bring me safe back home again and so Lord you will be my God (be my God)

Shout 04:00
I’ve got so much to be thankful for There’s so much you’ve given me And yet I’m so ungrateful Lord But you keep on blessing me My house, my life, my kids, my wife My car, my job, my hat, my dog I don’t know what to say (how about “thank you”?) Shout (oi) for joy to the Lord all the earth. We’ll worship you with gladness, we’ll sing you joyful songs. Shout (oi) for joy to the Lord all the earth ‘cause he’s blessed me so richly, I’ll give thanks and praise his name. You know that the Lord is good He made us, we are his. You and me, we are his people, We’re like sheep in his fields We’ll enter in his gates with thanks We’ll come into his courts with praise For our God’s love goes on (and on and on and on)

I’m gonna tell you a crazy story, about this guy I know You’d think he looks like any other But when danger rolls around, he doesn’t even think once He takes off his boring suit and his specs And puts on his purple spandex He is spatial awareness man, he’s really, really, really, really good at packing a van. He is spatial awareness guy Got no super strength and he can’t fly He is spatial awareness dude He’s got a pearly white smile and he’s never rude You know he is the bestsest ‘cause he’s really good at tetris He loves tessellation He loves those little Russian dolls He loves loading the dishwasher If you need help stacking boxes If you need someone to put things on shelves He’s the man that can do all of this. He recarpeted the TARDIS He is spatial awareness man, If you tell him he can’t, he’ll show you he can He is spatial awareness guy He’s no man of steel and he couldn’t hurt a fly He is spatial awareness dude He’s got a diligent, hard-working attitude. You know he is the bestsest ‘cause he’s really good at tetris He was once a boring man, never knew what he could do. Until the day that he discovered that he could fit all of his wife’s shoes into just one cupboard! He knows exactly what’s around him He knows exactly where things go He knows what things will fit inside what other things But even with all this mighty power He still has one weakness, don’t you know? His appalling claustrophobia Coupled with crippling agoraphobia He is spatial awareness man He looks at it once and he understands He is spatial awareness guy All the girls love him and the boys think he’s fly He is spatial awareness dude He’s got a super-sonic, fun-loving attitude. The workings of his mighty brain you’ll never fathom It’s the first fit decreasing algorithm!

Don’t tell me you can’t read my mind This whole disease spread far and wide Unending love that’s gone to waste The tears are streaming down your face But you hold on to what I am, and you have got a plan Save me, oh save me from this broken world Save me, oh save me from this broken world You can put me back to rights; you can save my life Save me, oh save me from this broken world From the street we live in to the whole world wide Web of evil lies inside It must be so tempting just to say; “to hell with you, I’ll start again” but you hold on, you never let go. You meet me where I am. Save me, oh save me for this broken world Save me, oh save me for this broken world You can put me back to rights; you can save my life Save me, oh save me for this broken world Save me, oh save me for this broken world Save me, oh save me for this broken world You can put me back to rights; you can save my life. Save me, oh save me; save this broken world

Son 03:50
Son of the most high God (Mark 5:7) eternal living one (Rev 1:18) I can’t conceive the love he has for me. You name is morning star, (Rev 22:16) how beautiful you are (Psalm 27:4) The knowledge of your love has set me free. There’s nothing; there’s no-one who can compare to you Chorus Jesus, son of God. (Matt 8:29) Jesus, ruler of the universe, all heaven and earth. (Rev 1:5) Jesus, God most high. (Acts 7:48) Jesus, reigning at the father’s side for all time. (1 Peter 3:22) Beginning and the end, (Rev 21:6) the heir of everything (Heb 1:2) The author and perfecter of our faith. (Heb 12:2) Blessed and only ruler, (1 Tim 6:15) first born of all creation, (Col 1:15) Atoning sacrifice for all our sins (1 John 2:2) There’s nothing; there’s no-one who can compare to you.

I’ve got it all worked out. I know what you want from me I have got my life in boxes; You’re in box number three I’ve made a list of all my strengths All the thing I am going to do It must be such a privilege to have me doing this for you But there’s an aching in my heart When I take the time to pray Maybe this is not the way to start? Maybe I should look to you and say; Your will be done on Earth as in Heaven Your kingdom come. So I will think again about what you want from me I will try to go your way, I’ll try to live life differently Sometimes it’s hard to know what’s right And what you’re asking me to do So guide me, show me, teach me how to live my life for you I will ask for what I want and I will make the time to pray But God, if you want something else, give me the strength to say; And I read about a man who got down on his face to pray He said: “Father I don’t want cup. Does it have to be this way?” He could have run, he could have fled, said “I won’t do this any more” But he turned around instead, said “Father, not my will, but yours.”

It doesn’t take a genius to understand that the way we live today has got out of hand. Humanity is crazy, going out of control. Have we lost sight of our primary goal? What is it that we’re put on this earth to do? What’s the meaning of it all? Can you tell me what’s true? So many questions going round in my head that I can’t even think of them all or understand Well I’ve heard about a book that claims to know, and I’ve heard about this guy that claims to show the way to the Father, which is only through the Son. Can you accept what he has done? He died for you! There’s a bunch of stuff that I’ve got wrong. How could I ever be right with my God? ‘cause He is perfect and I’m sure not. He must really love me, love me a lot to send his only son down here to die instead of me. I don’t understand why he’d do all that for a sinner like me, but now I have my name in his family tree. He died for me!

Jesus came to save the world. Jesus came to save our souls Why is he still rejected everywhere I look? Why can’t people see that what happened did really happen? So I will lift your name. They will never take you down - right to the end. I will show it. I will live to give your praise - right to the end. Will I give my life for you like those men crucified? Will I stand up for justice when the world’s against? Well I will stand for you ‘cause with you who can stand against me? God almighty, you are awesome You freed our voices for your praise God almighty, you are awesome Eternally creative

Worship You 04:23
It’s a long time from one weekend to the next but I love my God, wanna give him my best. There must be some other way that I can bring an offering to the king of kings. I said I sing on Sundays up in church, but what about today while I’m at work or school? ‘cause I got so many other things to do and I wanna do ‘em well and I wanna do ‘em for You? My God I wanna do everything I do, wanna do it well and I wanna do it for You Could that be an act of worship too? If I do it well is that pleasing to you? You deserve my everything I’m gonna Worship You. Worship You. Worship You! With everything we say and do, our whole lives and act of worship unto You. Lord Jesus every time I hear Your name all I wanna do is worship You again. ‘cause You are my God. You are my king. You are so high above everything. Every time I think about what you have done, Father, Son Holy Spirit, three in one. Every time I think about Your sacrifice I’m gonna praise You Lord, not gonna be concise. ‘cause there’s so many things that I have to say, and there are not enough hours in the day – so I’m gonna do every single little thing I do – I’m gonna do it well, and I’m gonna do it for You. You deserve my everything Everything I do for You; eat and sleep and work and play Everything I do for You, every night and every day So that’s my offering, I’m a living sacrifice Lord that’s my offering, I’m a living sacrifice You deserve my everything

New 04:15
Can you hear the sound of hallelujahs? A thousand angels sing Bringing glory, giving praise to Him Praise God all you people, all creatures great and small Bring your worship to Heaven’s almighty king. He’s making all things new And it’s all for you His love is breaking through Making all things new Do you hear the roaring thunder? Do you hear the call? To celebrate, rejoice and bring him praise The lamb has come to meet his bride, Hallelujah sing! For the Lord our God Almighty reigns. All things new, all things new He is making all things new His love now is breaking through Can you see him making all things new? A new heaven and a new Earth An angel in the Sun Is calling us to join the master’s feast King of Kings and Lord of Lords is coming back again To build with us the New Jerusalem. He’s going to build with us the New Jerusalem. Will you build with us the New Jerusalem?
