Bless this house, O Lord we pray; make it safe by night and day. Bless these walls, so firm and stout, keeping want and trouble out. Bless the roof and chimneys tall, let thy peace lie over all; Bless this door, that it may prove ever open to joy and love. Bless these windows shining... Read More

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high, There’s a land that I heard of, once in a lullaby. Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue, And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true! Someday I’ll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me! Where troubles... Read More

Most people live on a lonely island, lost in the middle of a foggy sea. Most people long for another island, One where they know they would like to be. Bali Ha’i may call you, any night, any day. In your heart you’ll hear it call you. Come away, come away. Bali Ha’i will whisper... Read More

Amazing grace! how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind, but now I see. ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed! The Lord hath promised good... Read More

There was a time in my life I thought I had to do it all myself. And I didn’t know the grace of God was sufficient, And I didn’t know the love of God was at hand. But now I can say, If you are discouraged, Struggling just to make it through another day, You... Read More

Who can I turn to when nobody needs me? My heart wants to know, and so I must go where destiny leads me. With no star to guide me, and no one beside me, I’ll go on my way and, after the day, the darkness will hide me. And maybe tomorrow I’ll find what I’m... Read More

You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord, Who abide in His shadow for life, Say to the Lord, “My Refuge, My Rock in Whom I trust.” And He will raise you up on eagle’s wings, Bear you on the breath of dawn, Make you to shine like the sun! And hold you in... Read More

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found.
