And I Want To Thank You
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin And I want to thank you, Lord. Thank You for everything You are. Yes I want to thank You, Lord. Always You’re my shining star! Whether I’m home or far away each day I wake and as I pray I am filled with Your Love, the guiding Presence; You will light my way! And I want to thank You. And I want to thank you, Lord. Thank You from the bottom of my heart. Yes I want to thank You, Lord. Each day is a fresh start! I have wandered far down many byways, got turned around and headed back; And yet through it all You’ve been beside me, never did I lack! And I want to thank You. And I want to thank you, Lord. Thank You for living here in me. Yes I want to thank You, Lord. That with Your eyes I see! I see Your glory on the earth, in every human soul such worth. Yes within each of us Your seed is planted; our lives give You birth. And I want to thank You.
And If I Am The Only Book They Read
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin Good morning Lord, I’m here again. I’ve come to talk with You again. Ready to know Your love once more. Be with me, Lord, as I go about my day. Be my friend, every step of the way. I remember my mother telling me, “Be the very best that you can be. Pray to the Lord both night and day. The Lord is sure to guide your way.” So many folks don’t know You Lord. Don’t know the stories of Your love. They long for happiness and joy. Be with them, Lord, as they go about their days. Be their friend, every step of the way. My Mother told me long ago, “Always let the love inside you show.” And only now I understand that I am here as Your right hand. And sometimes my friends forget You Lord. They cannot trust in Your sweet love. I see them sad and all alone. Guide me to their care, Lord, as we walk these roads together. Help me be their friend, help me show them Your love. And if I am the only book they read, may my pages tell Your truth indeed. We will work together, You and I. And my Your love light shine in my eyes! Let your love light shine!
As Jesus Walked
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin Refrain: As Jesus walked upon the earth He was guided, He followed God’s holy Word. And He trusted completely God would be true. He invited us to follow God too. Verses: Each day as dawn would beckon all to wake and move on, He would hear Love’s precious call and turn to God. Into Love’s hands He placed His life, each plan for the day. And Jesus centered His thoughts, and He would pray. And with each step upon the earth He showed us the way. Jesus often took the time to pause and pray. In prayer and solitude He found His bright shining star: The God of Love and of hope within his heart. In true humility He came that we might have life. Jesus guides our footsteps from life’s pain and strife. Examples from His life of love we follow in peace. And through our prayers, joy and hope and love increase.
Circle of Giving
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin There’s a circle of giving, a circle of life. It’s the story we’re weaving as our light shines bright! May we not take for granted any person’s precious part: Every action, every kindness which comes from the heart. In the circle of giving you’ve offered your hand. Through the gift of receiving, I’ve learned to stand on my own. And I now pass it along: giving kindness to another. Help her grow strong. It’s a circle of giving without any end. As we share ourselves freely we’ll soon round the bend so to see with eyes opened God’s Love in everyone. Peace on Earth is before us. God’s Will is done.
Cleanse Me, Lord
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin Cleanse me, Lord, of everything which separates us now. Clear my mind of old beliefs that cease to serve my good. Cleanse me, Lord, of memories which lock me to the past. Clear away resentment now so freely I may love. Waken me to Love untold, Your gift to me each day. May I trust that in your care all good is mine always. Starting in the precious now Your ways I do embrace. I release the past in love. With joy the future face.
Deep Inside Of Me
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin Deep inside of me it grows. It’s with me everywhere I go. Certainly I need it to survive. Reminding me that I am meek. I can’t have that which I seek. No, I shall never blossom, never thrive. I’ve got this fear, it's planted firm. Within my soul, it's nestled sure. It's roots grow deep and strong; they hold on tight. No, I've not got the strength alone. I'm weary 'cause I've tried so hard to pull it up and make my world seem right. Yet, I want to move on, Oh Lord, and live with You each day. I want this fear to end, to go away. And I know if I call on You, Your strength will see me through. You'll help the fear move on; we'll start anew! Deep inside of me You grow. You're with me everywhere I go. Certainly I need You to survive. Remind me now that I'm not meek. I can have that which I seek. Yes, with You I will blossom, I will thrive.
Do You Know Her?
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin Refrain: Do you know Her? Do you know Her? Do you know Her, Mother God? Can you feel Her? Can you feel Her loving arms enfolding you now? Verses: In those times when sorrow weighs you down and you need to tell a friend. She is listening that you might share your burden. Her care for you will never end. When confusion fills each waking thought, no clear path can you discern. She is wisdom; She will guide you on your way. Truth in abundance you will learn. When you’re overcome with pangs of guilt for your steps have gone astray, She will gently hold you, rock you in Her arms and say “I Love You” all the same. When you’re bursting to reveal the news: life is filled with happiness! As a friend, she’ll celebrate each joyful day. You’ll know for certain you are blessed.
Each Of Us Is God Creating

Used in love, we’re God’s right hand, so others we can bless. Inspired by the love of God, present everywhere. All our gifts and talents too, they grow only when we share. Each of you is God creating. You are on a special path. Yes you are, you’re God creating beauty, laughter and love.

Every
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin Everywhere I go, and, everywhere I am, my God resides. Everyone I meet, each person on the street, has God inside. On this journey forward, from where ‘ere we are to where we aim to be: Spirit is before us. We’re one with God eternally. Everything I do, and every act I make, God is with me. Never on my own ‘cause Spirit is my strength. Yes, I am “We”. Following God’s lead, I joyfully concede, and live as I am led. Life is ever richer, when with sweet Spirit I am fed. Every time I pray, no matter what I say, God hears my call. I can ask for help, for me or someone else, and we’ll not fall. Always when I’m through, I listen for the clue, the answer to my need! Grateful for the guidance, God’s message I will always heed.
Forgiven
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin For all the times I’ve failed to Love Your Spirit deep inside of me, Where hatred and neglect have grown and kept me from the seeds you’ve sown. I promise to release this day each wall I’ve built that blocks my way I’ll open to Your Spirit true and learn to love myself as You. I see now, Lord, you Live in me; Your presence always nudging me. Your message always sweet and clear: “Come my child, I am here”. Yet at times I turn away, proceeding on my self-made way. Down that path I walk alone. I don't see where I’ve gone wrong. And comes a time I cannot breathe; fear and doubt have conquered me. No longer do I know you’re near; I do not feel your Love so dear. It’s at this time I pause again and give to You my deepest pain. Forgive myself for what I’ve done, and hear You gently ask: “Please come”. So now, dear Lord, I pray to see: I pause to feel your Love in Me. I go within to seek Your light, to hear Your guidance clear and bright. I give myself the gift of You; forgive myself with Love that’s true. And then I go along life’s way, I love myself and all this day.

God Is The Answer
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis
Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin
Refrain:
God is the answer whatever the need.
God is the answer: never do we plead.
Always waiting, patient, ready for our call.
Yes God is faithful to his people, each of us, one and all.
Times when we are frightened, feeling all alone,
weary from our travels, wanting to go home.
In these times we can be certain of Spirit’s steadfast love
for God has promised and assured us we will never walk alone!
Repeat refrain
When our health is failing, strength is all but gone,
Hope and all desire nowhere to be found.
We must turn within for comfort, believe and trust the Lord.
God’s Love will strengthen and renew us, guide us as we travel on!
Repeat refrain
God's Gifts
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin I came to give you hope on those days when struggles loom. I came that you might focus away from pain and gloom.

I know that you have gifts for them a smile, perhaps there’s two. For ‘twas I that gave you life, and I that gave you joy. And I tell you now the secret that their blooms you may enjoy. Gifts from Me to you are yours and there’s ever always more. Please, take each one in gratitude, then share! Don’t ever store. For my gifts were meant to grow when fed the Love which from your hand endlessly expands to meet the needs of all across the land.

Good Bye
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin My heart's been searching for so long. Dreaming of its own freedom song. Needing more from life each day. Seeking, yet can't find the way. And I don't know where I'm going to. I only know where I've been. This 'ole road winding to and fro has brought me round the bend. And I see before my own eyes a story that's only mine to tell. So my friend I must say goodbye. And I wish you well. Lately it’s all becoming clear. There is a sure pathway out of here. Don’t yet know each step I’ll take. But the first in faith I’ll make. And I don't know where I'm going to. I only know where I've been. This 'ole road winding to and fro has brought me round the bend. And I see before my own eyes a story that's only mine to tell. So my friend I must say goodbye. And I wish you well. The day has come, I must move on. Can’t take you with me. No, not this time. I need to trust my inner guide. The truth that’s buried deep inside. And I don't know where I'm going to. I only know where I've been. This 'ole road winding to and fro has brought me round the bend. And I see before my own eyes a story that's only mine to tell. So my friend I must say goodbye. And I wish you well.

I'm Gonna Give It Away
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis
Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin
When the road you walk seems all up hill.
You’re tired and can’t go on.
Walk with me by my side until
Love gives you strength to run!
‘Cause I’m gonna give it away.
I’m gonna give it away.
I feel God’s Love inside me now.
I’m gonna give it away.
I’m gonna share this Love.
I’ll be God’s Love for you!
In the times of sadness, pain, and strife
When your precious heart does bleed.
Come, my friend, anytime, you’ll see:
Love answers every need.
And I’m gonna give it away.
I’m gonna give it away.
I feel God’s Love inside me now.
And I’m gonna give it away.
I’m gonna share this Love.
I’ll be God’s Love for you!
In the Dark Times of the Day
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin After daylight comes the dark of night. After autumn comes the winter. After childhood we grow older and wisdom comes with age. Daylight brings a false sense of security. We can see where we are going. We believe that we are knowing that we are in control. Even daylight has its darker moments. All alone and feeling scared. Rainy days and winter’s cold and we must slow down at last. Caterpillars turn to their cocoon. Taking time within the darkness, Later to emerge a beautiful butterfly in flight from the blessings of the night. So can we the darker moments treasure. Listen as God speaks directly To the soul in peaceful stillness and God is in control. After daylight comes the dark of night. After autumn comes the winter. After childhood we grow older and wisdom comes with age. Slowing down we pray in the dark times of the day. We will hear You say, “I love you”.
In Your Glory Today
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin Today I choose to see the beauty around me. I leave behind all negativity. I choose the path of happiness. I let go of the emptiness. Today I am with You all the way. In Your glory today! Today I take the time to still my busy mind. Invite Your words to become one with mine. Listening, I hear Your voice. I learn to make the blessed choice. Today as You guide me I will stay on Your pathway today! Today I’m free to give to the people that I am with, I give from all the blessings in my life. To one I smile and lend a hand. Another needs a special friend. Please help each one to know You, this I pray. We’re in Your glory today!
It Doesn't Cost a Penny
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin It doesn’t cost a penny to let your love shine through. It doesn’t cost a penny. I know this to be true. God’s gift of love is priceless. It’s free and yours to share. It doesn’t cost a penny to let them know you care. It doesn’t cost a penny to give a hug away. It doesn’t cost a penny to hold a friend this way. Each hug you give is priceless. I know this to be true. It doesn’t cost a penny to say, “I love you, too”. It doesn’t cost a penny to listen to a friend. It doesn’t cost a penny to wipe the tears and then to hear the silent calling from deep within her soul. It doesn’t cost a penny to be there to console. It doesn’t cost a penny the joy you feel inside. It doesn’t cost a penny until you try to hide The miracle of God’s love implanted in your heart. It doesn’t cost a penny - to all God’s love impart.
It Takes Time
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin It takes time to build a life with You. It takes time to learn to trust in You. Going my own way for such a long time While doing the things that filled my busy mind. All of the time, You were with me to stay but Going my own way I turned away again! It takes time to feel at peace in Your arms And to know I'm safe from every harm. Yes, I'll again come to hear Your voice Tell me that I can make another choice. There in the stillness I'll come home to stay. I'll rest in Your Love, let You light my way!
It's An Inside Job
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin It’s an inside job, letting Spirit light our way. It’s an inside job, let us go within and pray. And we’ll hear the words God has to say! It’s an inside job, trusting in the one true Source. It’s an inside job, steering clear of vague remorse: letting Spirit stay us on the course! It’s an inside job, spreading joy when we feel blue. It’s an inside job, being Love whate’er we do. Yet we will when we let Spirit through!
It's In The Living
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin It’s in giving that we learn to live. It’s in striving that we do survive. It’s in God’s plan we were born to thrive. It’s in the living that we know we’re alive.
Joyous Noise
Words by Cindi Cousineau and music by Jeanne Loehnis Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin There was quiet in the fields. No noise but the sheep when suddenly the heavens shouted: “Wake up from your sleep! We bring you such glad tidings: Jesus has been born. He lay within a manger where beasts feed on corn.” This man now will lead you from sin and poverty to know the Christ within you. And you’ll be truly free! We invite you now this Christmas to feel Christ in your hearts! And soon you’ll come to realize you’ve never been apart. There was quiet in the fields. No noise but the sheep when suddenly the heavens shouted: “Wake up from your sleep! We bring you such glad tidings: Jesus has been born. His Love now lives within you this blessed Christmas morn!”
Just For Today

Let it burn, let it glow. Let God’s Love show! ‘Tis better to light one candle of Love today than afraid, to stop trying and hide away. Bring God’s Love to face every fear. Soon you’ll trust Love to always be near. Just one candle of Love glowing strong invites your neighbor to belong to the family united in Love. May God’s will now be done. May all be one. ‘Tis better to light one candle of Love today than alone face each challenge and go astray. Walk with Love down each path that you trod. Be made strong through the Oneness of God.

Look Beyond
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis
Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin
Look beyond the things you see.
Look beyond apparent reality
In this life so much that we believe …
We’ve come to
Hold as truth, without a doubt,
We’re living yet not thinking for ourselves.
For every day, teachers come and they do go.
Our parents taught us only the best that they did know
And we learned well to follow in their paths
Thinking we’d found the way, the only way,
Yet Life has more to offer us this day.
So take the time to question what you know.
Pray to have the courage to let it go
Then open wide to truths that wait for you.
Let Spirit speak unto your soul and guide you
to Love’s treasures sent to make you whole.
For Spirit speaks directly to your soul.
You’ll hear a message that’s clearly your very own.
So go within and learn your lessons well.
Then go into the world, be on your way.
And share the Love God sent to you today.

Spread My Wings
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis
Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin
The time has come my friends to say good bye.
‘Tis the yearning of my heart that’s urging me to fly.
At times I’ve turned the other way, wishing it would go away
But now I know for certain, God’s opened wide the curtain
I must take the step beyond, yes I must go.
Now I must spread my wings and fly my friends,
I’m called to trust, to grow
And I know wherever I may be, sweet Spirit’s watching over me!
I must spread my wings, with Spirit fly
to places yet unknown.
I’m guided by the Light, more love to know.
Life is changing. We’ve new worlds to explore.
When we listen to our inner voice, Spirit opens wide the door!
‘Tis the voice that lives in me, the voice that is in you.
We each have our own story, when pursued we know the glory!
And it’s true that Spirit’s strength will see you through.
So please spread your wings and fly my friends.
Be all that you can be.

And you’ll spread your wings and fly again.
And always in our hearts
memories live on. We’ll never be apart.

The Eye of the Storm
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis
Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin
When life is but a whirlwind of that never ending movement,
When each task but another on the stack.
When nothing gets completed
And your energy’s depleted,
When your fear controls and never do you rest:
Turn within.
Leave the storm and travel inward to its eye.
Leave the busyness of daily life behind.
‘Tis the eye where Spirit guides with clarity.
From the center of life’s true reality.
When thoughts are swimming constantly and your mind knows no peace,
Distractions, interruptions do not cease.
Ideas come in chaos,
All plans fall apart each day as
Staying focused is impossible at best:
Turn within.
Gently urge the mind its worries to release.
Take the path that always leads to inner peace.
Give to Spirit all decisions and let go.
Guidance free is Spirit’s gift; God loves you so.
In the eye of every storm my God resides.
Omnipresent and omniscient, God’s my guide.
I need never fear nor run from life and hide.
On the wings of Spirit’s Love I now abide.

The Web of Life
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis
Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin
Entwined like a spider web, each of us our own thread
Spinning swiftly toward our goal.
Walking side by side, often hand in hand, traveling across the land,
Each one seeking the fullness of this life.
These threads of our lives will bend. We’ll meet and hold another friend,
Ever richer for the tie.
And then we will go along our way. We know we’ll meet again someday
For we’re one in the web of all life.
We’re one with all who live.
We’re one in heart, and mind, and soul.
Connected then, and now, and forevermore!
United in this one whole!
Entwined, each a single thread. Spirit, weaver of the web
Joining us in love each day.
Source of all that’s good, all that’s true. We are one entwined with You.
All one soul, all one Spirit, all one Life.
There Are Days

Anytime that I feel along, I need only turn toward home to be with You again and feel love!

Step outside the plan you’ve made with care. Notice someone else just standing there. Keep your eyes aware to see the need Everywhere you are a soul does bleed Sometimes just a band-aid stops the flow when with loving kindness on it goes. Two hands often struggle at a task. Sometimes needing help are afraid to ask. Another’s hands join in and quickly see: Four working together finish the deed. We can make a difference every day following the one inspired way! Guided from within we do God’s Will. All who walk the Earth are now infilled!
We Choose To Follow
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin Here we are today, singing of the love inside us. It will light our way. The love of God is here to guide us.

Trusting in this Love, we reach out to all God’s children. Spreading joy and hope, bringing out the stars within them. Teaching all to follow, follow where God’s Love lights the way. They choose to follow. Love will light their way!
We Know You're There For Us
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin We know You’re there for us. We know that You care for us. And that You’re always with us. But our thoughts stray far from Your guiding way. Our thoughts stray so far away. The mind is slow to learn. To trust in Your daily word. To let go and follow You. It just seems so very hard to do. So hard to trust in You. Our actions belie our love for You. They hold not to what is true. They show the world so many wrongs. But our hearts keep searching for You O God. Our hearts they search for You. Today is another chance to let go embrace Your dance. And follow Your footsteps sure. To seek the path that leads to You. To seek to know and love You. Today I will take the chance. I’ll let go, embrace Your dance. I’ll follow Your footsteps sure. I’m on the path that leads to You. I seek, I know and love you.
We're Gonna Fly
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis
Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin
We have walked together each step of the way.
You're movin' on and we know we'll be okay.
We have Spirit's strength, the one true source of all.
For when we feel alone we've got Spirit to hear our call.
Hear our call. Hear our call.
Anytime we ask in faith with Spirit we'll stand tall!
So we'll call. Let Spirit bless us one and all.
We'll have strength to move on 'cause Spirit hears our call.
We'll be lifted up higher than the trees.
We'll feel Spirit's love on the gentle breeze.
As we join as one we're sure to reach the sky.
For as long as we hold together we're gonna fly.
We're gonna fly! We're gonna fly!
On the wings of the dove we will reach the sky.
We're gonna fly! Together raise our voices high.
Continue the journey together. We’re gonna fly!
We're gonna fly! We're gonna fly!
On the wings of the dove we will reach the sky.
We're gonna fly! Together raise our voices high.
Continue the journey together. We will fly!

You and Me in Unity
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin We’ve come today, God’s love to know. As friends together we will grow. We leave our cares, release our fears, and feel Love’s guidance drawing near. We feel peaceful, hopeful, free to believe that we all are one in unity, you and me, here. And as we pray, from deep within, a gentle stirring does begin. God speaks to you and speaks to me. Love’s message clearly we now see: We must join as one voice that’s free and sing to the world a new melody that speaks of peace, speaks of joy, now. And when we go along our way we’ll take the love we’ve shared today. And we will greet each soul we meet with happiness and joy complete. We’ll spread unity, you and me, we’ll follow our heart knowing all are one great family, in love are we one.
You Are My Light
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin I stopped one day to ask the Lord, what am I to do? Confused was I and struggling so to make my dreams come true. I didn’t know which way to turn; unsure of my life’s plan. From deep within I heard God’s voice, and now I understand. You are My Light, My everything. In You grows the seed of Spirit’s Truth. You form My body on the earth. Only through you does the world to Me give birth. You are My life, My symphony. Each of you is an instrument of Love. In everything you do, let My light shine through! Then your dream and My Love will be one. God’s message was so loud and clear, I could not walk away. My choices must be true to Love each moment of each day. The dream I hold within my heart is God’s plan for us all. Together love with one accord; together live God’s call. You are My Light, My everything. In You grows the seed of Spirit’s Truth. You form My body on the earth. Only through you does the world to Me give birth. You are My life, My symphony. Each of you is an instrument of Love. In everything you do, let me light shine through! Then your dream and My Love will be one.
You Gotta
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis

You gotta take what life’s giving you.
You gotta find the gifts God shares with you.
You gotta trust there’s more for you to do.
Keep movin’, keep praying in love.
Whenever life dishes out pain and sorrow, Oh!
Don’t let it get you down: With God you’ll rise again!
You gotta keep workin’ toward your goal.
You gotta dig deep within your soul.
You gotta persevere, then you will know:
God’s love is the strength to see you through.
When there are challenges to face and you don’t know where to start.
Take a minute and pray. Let Spirit light the way!
You gotta face what life gives to you.
You gotta think thoughts of love and truth.
And then just let God express through you,
and live out your melody of love.
For on this path that you will take with Love lighting the way.
I see joy in your fate. Just remember this today:
You gotta take time to go within.
You gotta see your vision then begin
To watch your dreams unfold as God had planned.
You’re one in the symphony,
you are Love’s melody,
one as the energy of Love.
You Rock Me Gently
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis Copyright 2003 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin When I walk with You in the light of day, I’m guided by Your wisdom every step of the way! When I rest with You as the night time nears Your loving arms embrace me, easing every fear. Then You rock me gently and hold me close. Enfold me in Your sweet caress and my spirit knows I’ve found the greatest love there could ever be! Thank You Lord for sharing it with me. When I turn my thoughts to You in silent prayer, Your guidance is made known to me. Your message is clear: On my daily walk I plan to do Your will, And spread Your sweet love story that all may be filled! Still You rock me gently and hold me close. Should I ever stumble I’ll not be alone! I will always be safe wrapped up in Your Love true. Everywhere is home when I’m with You. When I sing Your praises as my heart expands, Your harmony in-fills me and my Spirit does dance! Others join along and we create anew A chorus of the richness we have found in You. Then You rock us gently, we feel as One. Every creature great and small under the sun Is forever united by the love that You are. Joined in Spirit now, we’ll never part.
You're There Too
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis

Everywhere I am, there you are, and, everywhere I go, You're there too.
Deep in my soul, You bless me with Your presence.
This everlasting gift is there for me.
Cause nothing's gonna tear us apart my God.
Nothing's gonna come between us.
Here in my soul You live. Here in my soul You'll stay.
You promised me, and I believe.
Your love in me is warm and whole and gentle.
It lives and breathes and moves on out from me.
Everywhere I am, there you are, and, everywhere I go, You're there too.
