Just for you

Just for you.
I’ve got sunshine. I’ve got roses. I’ve got drums.
Just for you.
I’ve got cymbals. I’ve got whistles. I’ve got birdsongs.
Just for you.
I’ve got love. I’ve got arms. I’ve got eyes.
Just for you.
I’ve got toes. I’ve got words. I’ve got heart.
Just for you.
I’ve got feelings. I’ve got thoughts. I’ve got soul.
Just for you.
I’ve got God. I’ve got suffering. I’ve got joy.
Just for you.
I’ve got love.

Jesus, You Were Born Today

Jesus, you were born today
To sweep our cares away.
What mystery as you lay
In that little bed of hay!
Who can ever say
If you knew the price you’d pay
On Calvary that day
For we who’ve gone astray?
Little could your parents know
Where you’d have to go.
What a life they did sow!
With joy, they’d see you grow.
A quiet little baby boy
Filled their hearts with joy,
With no thought of tomorrow,
Or Gethsemane of sorrow.
Jesus, you were born today
To sweep our cares away.
What mystery as you lay
In that little bed of hay!
Only the Father knew
What was then foretold for you.
So hush your little cry
As Mamma sings her lullaby.
There’ll be time enough to sigh
And ask your question why
You must go this heavy way
Because you were born today.
Jesus, you were born today
To sweep our cares away.
What mystery as you lay
In that little bed of hay!

Jesus set my course today

Jesus set my course today.
Guide me in your special way.
Your way is loving.
Your way is sharing.
Your way is caring.
Your way is forgiving.
Your way is patience.
Your way is respecting.
Your way is kind.
Your way is peaceful.
Jesus set my course today
Guide me in your special way.

Jesus Rap
Jesus came to love us
Like none has ever loved us;
His hallmark was forgiveness;
His gentle manner touched us;
He always thought of justice;
Truth must always flow from us;
Charity for the least of us;
Great sharing He demands of us;
Perfect patience He wants within us;
Perfect peace is what He gives us.
