Third Day

(Malin Övrell)

He walked His way through a narrow street
with a cross as a burden and blood on His feet
He had a life with nothing to hide
still You and I allowed Him to be crucified
He was nailed to the cross and placed in a cave
and on the third day He rose from the grave

that day so many years ago
we all let Him down, the King of our souls
but it was meant, it was meant to be
suffering, so that our hearts can be free
He was nailed to the cross and heaven turned black
but on the third day life came back

Jesus rose from the grave, defeated death
to redeem our souls so that we can live again
He stepped down from the cross, took His place on the throne
forever He will rain

He sacrificed His life this broken world to mend
mankind on His shoulders, marked and condemned
they took His life, yet He gave us a choice
to deny or to follow His voice
He was nailed to the cross to revive everyone
and on the third day the battle was won

Jesus will reign all over the world
He will reign, yes He will reign

Love In Me

(Malin Övrell)

try to look straight ahead, leave the past in the past
try to believe that My love will last
I’m searching for your heart, let Me give you a brand new start
you can find love in Me

can you feel Me in the sun, can you hear Me in the rain
try to believe that no one is to blame
I’m knocking at your door, try to forget what happened before
‘cause you can find love in Me

I give you strength when you are weak
talk through your voice when you can’t speak
I’m your eyes when you can’t see
I give you hope when hope is gone
give you the courage to carry on
I’ll supply your every need
you can find your love in Me

keep your head up high and don’t forget who I am
try to believe it was not in vain
allow yourself to grow, dare to let your bitterness go
‘cause you can find love in Me

you can find love in Me

I Choose To Believe

(Malin Övrell)

Every morning, every night, I’m so grateful, so grateful
in all my sorrow, and in my gladness, I’m grateful, so grateful
and I choose to believe that in You I am free

You bring me comfort, You bring me joy I’m so thankful, so thankful
You’re my forgiver and You’re my healer, I’m thankful, so thankful
and I choose to believe that in You I am free

You are all that I need to get by
I don’t need to build my life on a lie
all my heart could ever want, You supply
that is why I choose to believe in You

You are my Father, and Prince of peace, I’m so joyful, so joyful
You are almighty and King of Kings, I’m so joyful, so joyful
and I choose to believe that in You I am free

I can choose to walk through life alone
but because of You my soul grows strong
I can feel Your love for me is true
so I dedicate my life to You

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

(Thomas O. Chisholm/William M. Runyan)

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father
there is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not
as Thou hast been, Thou forever will be

great is Thy faithfulness
great is Thy faithfulness
morning by morning new mercies I see
all I have needed Thy hand hath provided
great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me

summer and winter and springtime and harvest
sun, moon and stars in their courses above
join with all nature in manifold witness
to Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love

pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide
strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow
blessings all mine with thousands beside

He’s Been Faithful

(Carol Cymbala)

In my moments of fear
through every pain every tear
there’s a God who’s been faithful to me
when my strength was all gone
when my heart had no song
still in love He’s proved faithful to me
every word He’s promised is true
what I thought was impossible
I’ve seen my God do

He’s been faithful, faithful to me
looking back He’s love and mercy I see
though in my heart I have questioned
even failed to believe
He’s been faithful, faithful to me

when my heart looked away
the many times I could not pray
still my God was faithful to me
the days I spent so selfishly
reaching out for what pleased me
even then God was faithful to me
every time I come back to Him
He is waiting with open arms
and I see once again

Beyond The Words

(Ola Hedén)

How was I to know, I didn’t see, you didn’t show
there was a glimmer that was wrapped around your lies
even if I’d known, would I have left you there alone
maybe I didn’t want to see through your disguise
I know you are trying, feeling the love you once had was dying somehow

there is nothing I can do except to be your friend
nothing I can say you haven’t heard
and I don’t know the prayers to pray except to cry your name
and know that He will hear beyond the words

You say you need to fly, because the truth became a lie
and that the life you used to live is in the past
maybe that’s okay, maybe you need to find your way
starting all over again to find the pearl you’ve lost
I know you were trying, I know that God will be there guiding you home

so fly, fly little bird
try to make it on your own
so fly, fly little bird
my tears will pray you’ll find your way back home

Love You

(Malin Övrell)

Love You, love You more than it’s possible to
love You, love You more than it’s possible to

the sun and moon they were made for You
even a million stars
made, to light up your darkest night
and warm a frozen heart

the trees and seas they were all for You
the meadow and mountains too
made with beauty to please your eye
and color your wanderings through

I even sacrificed My son for You
I let Him take your sin
share with Me eternity
that is the life you’ll win

My favorite place

(Malin Övrell)

At my Jesus’s feet, I bow down on my knees
He looks into my soul, all my secrets will unfold
according to His word, all my prayers will be heard
I’m pouring out my grief, enjoying my heart’s relief

I humble myself and open my heart
receiving the grace, I bow down at my favorite place

so I bow down, I bow down on my knees before You
yes I bow down, I bow down before grace, at my favorite place

at His kingdom’s gate we have to let go of all hate
receiving joyfully Jesus’s love abundantly
I humble myself and open my heart
receiving the grace, I bow down at my favorite place

Don’t Lose Your Faith

(Malin Övrell)

Whatever road God chooses for you
don’t lose your faith, He’ll walk with you
when life is hard to understand
He’ll be right there, even holding your hand

when your road gets bumpy
and you see no turning point
nothing more but struggle and pain

don’t lose your faith
don’t lose your faith He’ll carry you

when problems seems to hard to get through
don’t lose your faith, He has a plan for you

First Christmas

(Malin Övrell)

On that day when Jesus came to this earth
the star was shining on the place of His birth
it was christmas, the first christmas that day
God chose to give the world it’s King as a boy
because of that we celebrate a great joy
it was christmas, the first christmas that day

Glory hallelujah christmas day
Glory hallelujah christmas day
Glory hallelujah christmas day
it was christmas, the first christmas that day

the angels came and celebrated the Child
their voices sang about Him, tender and mild
it was christmas, the first christmas that day

In excelsis deo
Gloria
In excelsis deo

Let Your Will Be My Peace

(Anna Weister Andersson)

Let Your will be my peace
let Your word light my path on life’s journey
let Your love fill my heart
oh dear Lord, keep my soul from all harm

oh let me be Your vessel
let my singing exalt Thee forever
let my tears be like oil
for the feet of Jesus, my dear Lord and Saviour

all my hope is in You
only You have the power to turn all my sorrow
into thanksgiving
You’re so faithful, so faithful
I leave my brokeness in Your grace
let Your will be my peace
