Lyrics
Lord Shrink This Room
Lord, Shrink this room
Until everyone feels wanted
Lord shrink this room
Until everyone feels no pain
I’ve seen way too much sadness
Emptiness and fright
And somethings just not right
Holy Spirit flow through us tonight
That we may show
The depths of Your love
This is a family of love
A family from above
God, You live here
A family of love
A family from above
Holy Spirit …
You live here
Lord shrink this room
Until everyone feels wanted
Lord shrink this room
Til everyone feels no pain
Speak to us of Jesus
What He’s done for us
Comfort and guide us …
And fill,,this room with love

Release The Sting
I flew in your circle to find you
Pined away hours and gasped
I struggled as a mine eyed canary
Held my breath, layed low, by an asp
–
No one could see I was crying
Still quiet was I, unbeknownst
To the one I thought n’er would blindside me
As I hid and felt all alone
–
Yet the pressure drew me closer toward heaven
God’s word, my oxygen tent
I let go and let Jesus protect me
From the enemies sting that was sent
–
The sting of the vipers sore venom
Was dead in it’s own rebuke
In the still, open door, a breath of fresh air
A place of warm, graceful repute
–
Looking for you in the circle
The choice is yours, yours alone
Releasing the sting in the moment
Almighty God reigns on the throne
–
The Spirit of life, love, forgiveness,
Breathes new life, the stings antidote
Hallelujah, it’s God’s Holy Spirit
Who helps us and teaches His own
–
Releasing the sting

Lord, You Are My Everything
I’m number one in God’s book.
Number one in His heart
To Jesus,
I’m everything
–
My heart was tired and hungry
But Jesus you fed me
By Your Stripes
Now I am healed
–
I need nothing but You, dear Lord
The Creator of all things, seen and unseen
You lived and died to give me new life
New peace for eternity
–
And all the pretty little things
of this world
They whither, they fade
and they break
They are just the icing …
The snowcap on the mountain
But Jesus, You are cake
–
Jesus … You are …
Jesus … You are
Jesus You are
My everything

Faces
I see faces
Some lined in pain
Faces…
Needing love strewn unfeigned
Faces…
Like a prism in the light
Shining brightly…
All through the night
Maybe that’s all they need
In the moment
A smile that can grow the seed
Moving lines across the face
His Spirit to embrace
Love… from the Highest Grace
–
Spread the Love you find in Jesus
Cast your bread apon the water
Show them all that Jesus cares
With a smile
You could wipe away their tears
And soon you will see
His reflection coming back on every wave
Like skipping stones across the water
See the rings…
How they ripple, catch and save
Further than you’ll ever know
The love of Jesus yearns to go
–
Just being kind
with a gentle loving phrase
Showing His Mercy…
When someone’s lost their way
Jesus loves them
And Jesus is the way
To say
I love You..
I love you….
–
Further than you’ll ever know…
The love of Jesus
Yearns to go
Further than you’ll ever know
The love of Jesus
Yearns… to… go

The Balm of Gilead
Where two or more are gathered here
In My Name
I Am in the midst you
Don’t you fear
I want to hear, your voice, my dear
You don’t have to run and hide away
You see every time you cry
So do I
–
Whisper in my ear,
Tell Me how you feel
Are you hurting today
With angels a myriad
I’m Your Balm of Gilead
–
Where two or more are gathered here
In My name
I Am in the midst of you
Don’t you fear
If you think that things are getting
Much too burdensome, my child
I already faced them, at the Cross
Where I loved you, till I died
–
Whisper in my ear, tell Me how you feel
Are you hurting today
With angels a myriad
I’m Your Balm of Gilead
–
Bridge
Yeah though you walk through the shadows
Just a little while
I go to prepare a mansion for you
So tarry by My side
I have sent to you a comforter
To help you know the Power of My Love
Bring all of your troubles to me my child
–
Whisper in my ear, tell Me how you feel
Are you hurting today
With angels a myriad
I’m Your Balm of Gilead

Jesus Is Our Home
Finally we come
To the place we call our own
We speak our life
And live it, live it out loud …
Jesus is our home
–
And if we must compromise
For any selfish desire
We know, that in our heart
We’re slipping back
Into the grip of the cold dark mire
–
We are, because of Christ
We live what we believe
He’s our strength He’s our fortress
Jesus is our home
–
Even when we die
We will live again in Christ
Our ultimate gain
To live with Him
We are, because of Christ
We live what we believe
He’s our strength He’s our very life
Jesus is our home

A Hymn by
Kelly S Griswold
Strength
Smile oh Christian, beaten down
In strength and beauty, stand up tall
Know you know, you need not frown
God is watching judging all
–
Smile oh Christian, don’t you cry
Christian, hold your head up high
For the one who beats the brow
Shall be one to push the plow
–
Holding forty thousand pounds
Holding forty thousand pounds
Grasp His grace; His love abounds
Grasp His grace; His love abounds
–
Smile oh Christian we are one
For together, we will run
Through the forests and the trees
To the golden fields, with ease
–
Holding forty thousand pounds
Like a feather in the breeze
Holding forty thousand pounds
Like a starling in the feis

Illuminating Jesus
She was knocking on the glass
from the inside, inside
A beautiful soul, in a great big window
Everything she saw was illuminated
With all the colors of the rainbow
–
She loved Jesus …
She loved people
She looked for all the facts
She saw the reasons
She loved miracles
Straight From Jesus
Made it through the changes of the seasons
–
She found her healing voice
Broke through all her fears
Entertained – angels unawares
Upon her knees, she prayed a fervent prayer
For all her children to be safe in the Savior
–
She loved Jesus …
She loved people
She looked for all the facts
She saw the reasons
She loved miracles
Straight From Jesus
Made it through the changes of the seasons
–
Bridge
–
Forgiveness is your wings
So solemnly she shared
With the wisdom of God and a gifted grin
Flew like an angel to the Heavens
–
She loved Jesus …
She loved people
She looked for all the facts
She saw the reasons
She loved miracles
Straight From Jesus
Made it through the changes of the seasons

Spring Time Melt
Spring time melt!
–
All the treasures, the earth had stolen
Covered by the wintery snow
Out of reach, to bend beneath
A pocket full, below
–
The scrapper in me, won out, big time
Eye long, with the song of the crow
A fetching beak, for coins that shine
Jingling nest of art nouveau
–
And you’ll never lose your glow
I know, I know, I know I know
You’ll never lose your glow
I know …
–
For all my friends, at springtime melt
The walks and the sparkling views
Are pleasant jaunts, sustainers bright
In these times, I think of You
–
Chorus

By Kelly Sampson Griswold
Spring time Melt
–
Thank You Lord Jesus for your perfect love and grace
Have a beautiful day friend
Morning Bells
If you can look in my eyes
And honestly say
You never knew me
I could fade away
–
But, something inside
Rings in the midnight silence
Telling me
You’re still in the wings
That’s why my heart still sings for you
–
When a story begins
How sad it is when a story begins
But it has no end
–
2x
–
Amidst all the clutter
And the confusion
Do you feel any emptiness?
There’s a voice you’ll hear
If deep calls unto deep
Of cleansing waters
And a shining shore
–
But, Who made you stumble
And falter in the way
Have bitterness and clamor in the heart
Made a place to stay
–
Morning bells want to ring
Morning bells want to ring
Morning bells want to ring
In your hearts today
