THANK YOU GOD FOR EVERYTHING
By Eddie Watkins Jr.
Thank you God for everything
(These are the only lyrics)
JOY
Chorus:
Joy, joy, God’s great joy
Joy, joy, down in my soul
Sweet, beautiful, soul-saving joy
Oh joy, joy in my soul
(Repeat chorus)
Early in the morning, before the break of day
I asked the Lord to make me whole
He holds me and he keeps me
Oh joy, joy in my soul
When I get weak and I can’t go on
I feel like all my is hope is gone
Late in the midnight hour, he talks to me (and gives me joy)
Oh joy, joy in my soul
One of these ol’ mornings, and it won’t be very long
You gonna look for me, and I’ll be goin’ home
I’m going up to glory, I’m going there to sing and shout
Oh joy, joy in my soul
(Repeat chorus)
Oh joy, joy, in my soul
Oh joy, joy, in my soul
Oh joy… hallelujah… oh joy…
The master’s joy, my Savior’s joy
Oh joy…
My Savior’s joy, the master’s joy
The lily of the valley’s joy… (music)
Oh joy, joy, in my soul
BY YOUR GRACE
By Krishna Das – see IG clip and Reality Sandwich
Closer than breath, you are the air
Sweeter than life itself, you are here
I am a wanderer, you are my peace
I am a prisoner, you are release
(Chorus 1)
Jai Gurudev, Jai Gurudev
Jai Gurudev, Jai Gurudev
Jai Gurudev, Jai Gurudev
Jai Gurudev, Jai Gurudev
I am a pilgrim, road so long
I am the singer, you are the song
Held in the open sky, so far above
I am the lover, you are the love
(Repeat Chorus 1)
(Repeat Chorus 1 again)
I follow your footsteps through the flame
All that I ever need is in your name
Carry your heart in mine, vast as space
All that I am today is by your grace
(Chorus 2)
By your grace, by your grace
By your grace, by your grace
By your grace, by your grace
By your grace, by your grace
(Repeat Chorus 2)
By your grace, by your grace
I live by your grace, by your grace
By your grace, by your grace
I live by your grace, by your grace
CIRCLE OF LIFE
From “The Lion King”
(Zulu verse)
From the day we arrive on the planet
And, blinking, step into the sun
There’s more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There’s far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
(Chorus) It’s the Circle of Life, and it moves us all
Through despair and hope, through faith and love
Til we find our place on the path unwinding
In the Circle, the Circle of Life
(Zulu verse)
(Repeat chorus)
LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me
Let there be peace on earth
The peace that was meant to be
With God (Earth) as our father (mother)
Family all are we
Let us walk with each other
In perfect harmony
(Interlude)
Let peace begin with me
Let this be the moment now
With every step I take
Let this be my solemn vow
To take each moment, and live
Each moment, in peace eternally
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me
