Psalm 2

by Rob Halligan

/
1.
Into the valley of pain I go And yes I am afraid; The shadows are deep, the sky is dark My hopes all seem betrayed. Into the valleyI go But I am not alone. Into the valley of shame I go And yes I am undone; My sins all crimson, my guilt aflame, The slanderer has won. Into the valley of shame I go But I am not alone Into the valley of fear I go And yes I tremble hard; The struggle was long, the fighting fierce, My soul is battle-scarred. Into the valley I go But I am not alone Chorus: He walks with me, he talks with me, He shelters me from harm, He draws the sting of guilt and shame, Of pain and all alarm, And carries me, yes carries me And in his name is calm.
2.
Oh Lord Most High How majestic is your Holy Name Above the earth Oh Lord we give You praise (2X) You display your glory above the heavens And silence the strong with the songs of a child When I think of all you have created The Moon and stars that dance across the sky What are we that you would say come and be mine For all that You have done And all Thy hands have made Oh Lord Most High How majestic is your Name

She’s sitting crying like a baby cries. She’s got no-one, no-one there to dry her eyes. Nobody knows what he’s done to her, Nobody knows what she’s had to endure. She looks out through a gap in the curtain, Hasn’t washed for days and her clothes are dirty. She’s not eating ’cos she ain’t got a cause. She don’t care ’cos nobody else does. We need to show His love, Shine light in the darkest places, Weep with the hurting, Join in their pain. Millions of lost, lonely people; We need to show them Jesus, Bringing God’s love into their shame. 2. He’s been working like he does almost every night, Meeting men by the dark back alley light. He needs his home ’cos he’s only thirteen; He ran away to try and find his dream. Now he lives on the streets, with other lonely souls- Our hearts should break, but we seem so hard and cold. They’re the victims of so many lies Fooled into thinking that they’re really street-wise. Ending: I have seen a young boy walk the streets alone at night, Crying out for some love. And I have seen an old man dying in his pain With an empty bottle and a heart full of shame.

Beautiful 07:20
You’re so beautiful, More than thoughts could ever think, More than words could ever sing. You’re so beautiful. Your holiness shines brighter than the winter sun, Long before the day’s begun; You are holy, holy Lord. 2. You are all around, You are in the air we breathe, Shining in the light we see. You are all around. All the earth is filled With evidence of perfect love, The working of the hand of God; You are holy, holy Lord. 3. You’re so glorious, Heaven can’t contain Your light, All creation lifts You high And worships You. Earth and heaven sing, “Worthy is the risen Lamb! Holy is the great ‘I Am’; You are holy, holy Lord.” And our song joins with heaven, As we lift You high; All creation waits with wonder To see Your face.

Unsearchable 04:15
Those who wait on the Lord Will renew their strength And rise up on eagles wings Even though they may get tired and faint His strength will come to them Do you not know and have you not heard My God will never fail He will give passion and he will give strength To those who are willing to wait He is unsearchable God the unchangable Maker of heaven and earth There is none like Him In power and greatness and worth (repeat)
7.
Through the nations rage And the kingdoms of this world will fall And the people say Where is our God? And the waters roar And the mountains crumble to the sea And the people say Where is our God? God is our refuge, He knows our need God is our strength, He will not leave God is our hope there is no fear in Him Come, look and see What He has done for us He's done for us Come taste and see That He is good to us Good to us
8.
For the hatred that divides us Race from race and class from class And the covetous desire For things that are not ours For the greed that takes advantage And for laying waste the earth Father forgive Father forgive For our envy of our neighbour And their good fortune that we see For our indifference to the captive The homeless and the refugee For the lust that brings dishonour And the pride that steals our peace Father Forgive Father Forgive Be kind to one another And tender in your heart Forgiving one another As Christ forgave you

about

This is an album with a difference.
I've had a few churchy songs kicking around for a while and wanted to put them somewhere. It's a follow on from Psalm. As I record more songs I'll add them to this.
So, please, pay whatever you can afford and subscribe to my Bandcamp or my newsletter (on my website) and every time a new song is aded you'll get an email.
