MY HELP COMES FROM THE LORD (PS 121) I lift my eyes to the mountains Where does my help come from My help it comes from the Lord Maker of Heaven and earth He will not let your foot slip no The Lord stands by you gives you strength Indeed he is watching over you He will not slumber or sleep\ I lift my eyes to the mountains Where does my help come from My help it comes from the Lord Maker of Heaven and earth The Lord will keep you from all evil He will care for you, He is your keeper He knows your coming and your going From this time forever more I lift my eyes to the mountains Where does my help come from My help it comes from the Lord Maker of Heaven and earth, and earth I lift my eyes to the mountains Where does my help come from My help it comes from the Lord Maker of Heaven and earth My help it comes from the Lord My help it comes from the Lord.

WHY ARE YOU CAST DOWN MY SOUL (based on Psalm 42) Why are you cast down my soul Why groan within me (repeat) As a deer longs for streams of clear and living water So my soul longs for you my God My soul thirsts for you my God the living water When can I see the face of God? Why are you cast down my soul, Why groan within me (repeat) My tears have been my only food day and night My friends say, “Where is your God?” I used to meet the Lord here in his house When I can meet again with God Why are you cast down my soul Why groan within me (repeat) Why are you cast down my soul Why groan within me (repeat) And I’ll put my hope in God And I’ll give him praise He’s my Saviour my God Why are you cast down my soul? Why are you cast down my soul? Why groan within me? (repeats a few times) Why are you cast down my soul? Why groan within me? (repeat)

Searching 02:42

SEARCHING (music and lyrics by Maria L. Pineda) All the questions come to rise Create a stir, deep within my heart Where I come from and where I go Searching for the love that doesn't change Seeking for the ground beneath my feet And I feel like a boat at sea Every wave tossing me around Where will I go and who I'll be Searching for the love that doesn't change Seeking for the ground beneath my feet Please, take my hand, and show me what's your plan Help me to believe in you Don't hold on to a flower Captured by all you touch and see And in your heart you'll always know It's blowing, blown away by wind Blown away by wind

CAN I TELL YOU Can I sit with you a while and tell you how I feel Can I share with you my fears and know that you are near Can I ask you of my future and feel secure in you Can I tell you all my sins, and still feel loved by you Can I tell you that I love you, in spite of all the pain Can I tell you I will follow from now until the end I hear you calling me by my name I know you’re always waiting for my “yes” I do feel small, but I’ll rely on you You called me and here I am Can I ask you to be my Word spoken for the world Can I say that I love you, I gave my life for you Can I tell you I will always lead you to the end I have been calling you by your name I have been waiting for your “yes” You do feel small but I will give you strength I call you don’t be afraid YOU’RE LIFE WILL BE MY HOPE YOU’RE LOVE WILL BE MY LIGHT We hear you calling us, by our names We know you’re always waiting for our “yes” We do feel small, but we’ll rely on you You called us and here we are You called us, you called us , you called us and here we are I thank you, I thank you and here we are

Hidden Love 04:04

HIDDEN LOVE I come to you and I find you so small So far removed and away from the crowd Where no one, no one will ever know You have no voice to say who you are You have no feet to go where you please Yet, you are, you are so real Where are ovations and where are applause Your beauty is hidden to all Yet you are, you so real You have no eyes to delight in great scenes You have no body that shapes our belief Yet, you, you are so true Where are ovations? And where are applause? Your beauty is hidden to all Yet, you – you are so real (repeat) Your saving grace has led me to know Just who you are and who I can be Your great, great hidden love Where are ovations? And where are applause? Your beauty is hidden to all Where are ovations? And where are applause? Your beauty is hidden to all You - you are so real, You - you are so real You – you are so real.

TOUCHED BY MERCY When you feel that life's not fair And you break into despair All the colors seem to change Getting darker where you stare You cried, you tried You put your faith in loving You cried, you tried You put your hope in living Now, don't give up, don't give up Mercy calls you by your name And says, You’ll never be the same Mercy heals your soul Tells you that you’ll be restored He stands by you and never lets you down He walks with you, Oh Mercy Mercy is our God Oh, Oh, Oh let mercy touch your heart My face was pressed to the ground You picked me up and gave esteem You wiped it clean with your Word You healed my wounds with your touch. You cried, you died, you gave your life up for me You cried, you died, you gave your life up for me I won't give up, I won't give up Mercy calls by my name, And says, I’ll never be the same Mercy, heals my soul And tells me that I’ll be restored He stands by me and never lets me down He walks with me, Oh Mercy, Mercy is our God Oh Oh, Oh, Let Mercy touch your heart (repeat)

RISEN Listen I’ll tell you a mystery about life We will not die, but we will be changed with a twinkling of an eye The trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised Alleluia! The body will pass and love will remain, Alleluia! Oh death where is your victory? Oh, death where is your sting? Christ has risen from the dead Alleluia! Don’t be afraid to proclaim he is alive Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia He’ll wipe away every tear from your eyes If you believe it, no crying or pain The trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised Alleluia The body will pass, but love will remain, Alleluia Oh, death where is your victory? Oh, death where is your sting? Christ has risen from the dead Alleluia! Don’t be afraid to proclaim he is alive Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia (repeat) (That stone’s been turned from the grave!!)

Happy the Peacemaker 03:42

Happy the Peacemaker It was a rainy day when you headed for the door As you stepped out you said, “I’m goin’…. I’ll be back soon, I’ll be back - soon.” The time ticked away, when you walked through the door A guitar in your hand, you said, “Your brother, He can play and you can sing. He can play and you can sing!” Happy the Peacemaker, who strives for ways of peace Happy the Peacemaker who wants us to meet, In ways of love, in ways to live in harmony I want you to sing, I want you to be I want you to live in harmony I want you to sing I want you to be I want you to live in harmony. (repeat) Happy the Peacemaker, who strives for ways of peace Happy the Peacemaker who wants us to meet, In ways of love, in ways to seek the harmony. Strive for peace! Strive for peace! (the harmony) Strive for peace! (the harmony) The harmony

I KNOW YOU’LL MEET ME I know you’ll meet me there When I put down my fears I’ve tried to believe you But I can’t keep holding on Peace will come when I let go Save me, Save me Long and dark this road has been When I open up the light comes in I’ve tried to follow you I can’t keep holding on Peace will come when I let go Peace will come when I let go I know you’ll meet me there When I put down my fears I’ve tried to give my love I can’t keep holding on Peace will come, when I let go I know you’ll meet me there.

about

This is my NEWEST album just released. "My help comes from the Lord" is based on Psalm 121. I am amazed at how God has worked in my life. Some would say it is coincidental, but I can only see it as providential: how a certain person was at the right place and time and interceded on my behalf. Covid lockdowns were also a time to slow down, and I could find renewed strength and grace in God. How the Spirit also “writes straight on crooked lines”. And the list goes on, "My help comes from the Lord." I share with you these songs and briefly the stories behind them, hoping that you also may discover or rediscover how the Lord comes to our help.
