LYRICS: Derived from the inspired and prophetic writings of the Prophet Isaiah (see Isaiah 54:10-13)

For a little while have I forsaken thee;
But with great mercies will I gather thee.
In a little wrath I hid my face from thee
For a moment…
But with everlasting kindness will I gather thee,
And with mercy will I take thee ‘neath my wings,
For the mountains shall depart,
And the hills shall be removed,
And the valleys shall be lost beneath the sea,
But know, my child,
My kindness shall not depart from thee!

Though thine afflictions seem, at times too great to bear.
I know thine every thought and every care.
And though the very jaws of hell gape after thee
I am with thee.
And with everlasting mercy will I succor thee,
And with healing will I take thee ‘neath my wings.
For the mountains shall depart,
And the hills shall be removed,
And the valleys shall be lost beneath the sea.
Know, my child,
My kindness shall not depart from thee!

How long can rolling waters Remain impure?
What pow’r shall stay the hand of God?
The Son of Man hath descended below all things.
Art thou greater than He?

So hold on thy way, for I shall be with thee.
And mine angels shall encircle thee.
Doubt not what thou knowest,
Fear not man, for he Cannot hurt thee.
But with everlasting kindness will I succor thee,
And with mercy will I take thee ‘neath my wings.
For the mountains shall depart,
And the hills shall be removed,
And the valleys shall be lost beneath the sea,
But know my child,
My kindness shall not depart from thee!
My kindness shall not depart from thee!

Lyrics: “May it Be”

May it be an evening star,
Shines down upon you.
May it be when darkness falls,
Your heart will be true.
You walk a lonely road;
Oh, how far you are from home….

“Mornie utulie” (darkness has come),
Believe and you will find your way.
“Mornie alantie” (darkness has fallen),
A promise lives within you now….

May it be the shadows call,
Will fly away.
May it be your journey on,
To light the day.
When the night is overcome,
You may rise to find the sun.

“Mornie utulie” (darkness has come),
Believe and you will find your way.
“Mornie alantie” (darkness has fallen),
A promise lives within you now . . .

A promise lives within you now . . .

Lyrics: “I Believe”

One day I’ll hear the laugh of children
In a world where war has been banned.
One day I’ll see men of all colours
Sharing words of love and devotion.

Stand up and feel the Holy Spirit.
Find the power and love of your faith.
Open your heart for those who need you
In the name of love and devotion.

Yes, I believe.

I believe in the people of all nations
To join and to care for love.
I believe in a world where light will guide us
And giving our love we’ll make heaven on earth.

(Chorus)

I believe in the people of all nations
To join and to care for love.
I believe in a world where light will guild us
And giving our love we’ll make heaven on earth.

Yes, I believe.

I believe in the people of all nations
To join and to care for love.
I believe in a world where giving our love we’ll make heaven on earth.

I  believe!
