Breathe On Me

The flame in my heart used to blaze with delight
But like sparks that rise into the skies, it vanished in the night
Now I long to once again
Burn for You as I did then
But to even try there’s something I must ask of You
I need You to...
Breathe on me, breathe on me
It’s been so long since the fire within
Burned bright and strong
Breathe on me, breathe on me
Like a gentle breeze, L-rd I ask You please
To tenderly breathe on me
It isn’t that I’ve lost my desire
It’s just that what once was a fire has dwindled again
And it needs to be kindled again, so
Breathe on me, breathe on me
It’s been so long since the fire within
Burned bright and strong
Breathe on me, breathe on me
Deep inside I know hiding embers glow
They could grow into a flame for all to see
If You’d only, if You’d only, if You’d only
Breathe on Me
Jesus, Jesus

I won’t cease to sing of the peace that you bring to me, Jesus, Jesus
I won’t stop I’ll taste every drop of your mystery, Jesus, Jesus
I look for you, Lord God Almighty
I look for you, Lord that I might see
The angels descending, the angels ascending
On the Son of Man, who the Father’s been sending, since the world began.
I turn back and see all I lack and think, mercy me, Jesus, Jesus
I remember you Lord and I go forward finally, Jesus, Jesus.
I look to you, Lord God Almighty
I look to you, Lord that I might see
The angels descending, the angels ascending
On the Son of Man, who the Father’s been sending, since the world began.
Well, the moths will be grievin’, cuz not even thievin’
Can bother a treasure that’s laid up inheaven
Jesus has done it, you couldn’t have won it
It’s the Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom
Your grace must suffice as I face what’s not nice in me, Jesus, Jesus.
And you kindly remind me that I’m not the enemy, Jesus, Jesus.
I look at you, Lord God Almighty
I look at you, not knowing what I will be
But in an eyes twinkling, at the trumpet sounding, I’ll be as you are
And I’ll finally see you, my bright and morning star
Lord God Almighty,
I look for you, Lord I believe I see
The angels descending, the angels ascending
On the Son of Man who the Father’s been sending, since the world began.
This Poor Man Cries

The Lord On High is very near
To all who call on Him
This poor man cries and He hears
And delivers him from all his fears
For the Lord is nigh to those who fear Him
The contrite will have light never dim
The righteous cry and He hears
And delivers them from all their fears
“Gad-lu l’Adonai ee’ti,
oon’ ram’ma sh’mo yach-dau”
I will bless Him all my days
His praise shall continually be in my mouth
To the King I sing with pride
And the humble hear
And the sad, are glad in Him
His angels fly ‘round those near
If you ever listen close you might hear
You just might hear......
“Gad-lu l’Adonai ee-ti
oon’ ram’ma sh’mo yach-dau”
I will bless Him all my days
His praise shall continually be in my mouth
He brings good things so I know
He’s always here
Never denied I’m supplied by Him
For He has eyes on those He holds dear
And delivers them from every fear, from every fear
This Poor Man Cries and He hears
And delivers him from all his fears, from all his fears!
O Holy One
(Psalm 40)

Sacrifice, offering You do not desire
But You’ve given me an open ear
When I’m cold as ice and bring to You things burnt with fire
You say, “Son keep your spirit clear, that’s all that I require.”
Oh Holy One I delight to do Your will
On Your Name I now look and with awe I now start
And lo I come, please write with sacred quill
My name in Your Book and Your Law in my heart
Faithfulness, Mercy and Love You multiply
And there’s no one who compares with You
As for me I was poor and needy, but I know You heard my cry
When You drew me from the pit so I could sit with You on high
Oh Holy One, I delight to do Your will
When You came I forsook all my need to be smart
And lo, I come give me wisdom and fill my name in Your Book and Your Law in my heart
You put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God
Many will see and many will fear
And men with ears to hear will know they must put their trust in The Lord
Well sons of serpents, hypocrites, Pharisees and Scribes
I’m afraid I’ve behaved like all of you
But a serpent raised upon a pole healed the twelve tribes
And a Son raised upon a cross is the healing of our lives
O Holy One, I delight to do Your will
All our shame Jesus took, Now we’re near not far apart
And lo I come knowing no peace until my name’s in Your book
And Your Law’s in my heart
And lo I come holding fast and holding still
My name in Your book and Your love in my heart
We Being Many
(Romans 12:5)
Words & Music by Marty Goetz

And we being many are one body in Christ, in Christ
And everyone members of one another
Loving each other, with God as our Father
Who loves us as a mother loves her newborn child
We are His Bride, taken from His side
When blood and water fell from the broken heart of Israel
See the Lord provide the precious Lamb who died
The great “I Am” who cried “Eli, Eli, Lama Azavtani,
Abba, El Shaddai, to God I give my life”
(In Harmony)
And we being many are one body in Christ, in Christ
And everyone members of one another
Loving each other, with God as our Father
Who loves us as a mother loves her newborn child
(Both verses sung together)
We are His Bride, taken from His side
When blood and water fell from the broken heart of Israel
See the Lord provide the precious Lamb who died
The great “I Am”” who cried “Eli, Eli, Lama Azavtani,
Abba, El Shaddai, to God I give my life”
And we being many are one body in Christ, in Christ
And everyone members of one another
Loving each other, with God as our Father
Who loves us as a mother loves her newborn child
Who loves us as a mother loves her newborn child
The Spirit of the Lord

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me
For the Lord has anointed me, yes the Lord has anointed me
He sent me to preach good news to the poor
And to bind up the broken in heart
To proclaim His freedom to all who are bound, all who are bound
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me
For the Lord has anointed me, yes the Lord has anointed me
He sent me to preach the year of His grace
And that vengeance belongs to our God
And to comfort all those who mourn and who grieve, all those who grieve
To give them beauty for ashes for mourning the oil of joy
And for the spirit of sorrow the garment of praise
And they will be called the trees of righteousness
Planted by God’s own hand that He may be glorified
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me (And I will greatly rejoice in the Lord)
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me (And my soul shall exult in my God)
For the Lord has anointed me, yes the Lord has anointed me
He sent me to preach good news to the poor and to bind up the broken in heart
To proclaim His freedom to all who are bound, all who are bound
And I will greatly rejoice in the Lord and my soul shall exult in my God
For He’s clothed me with garments of His salvation
And wrapped me with robes of His righteousness
Yes upon me is the Spirit of the Lord, Upon me is the Spirit of the Lord
He’s anointed me with the Spirit of the Lord
A Jew Born Anew

I had a Bar Mitzvah when I was thirteen
Greatest Bar Mitzvah that you’ve ever seen.
The temple on the corner of Mayfield and Lee
Was filled with my friends and my family
All of them as proud can be,
With catering far as the eye could see,
Complete with a chopped liver statue of me.
Now they ask me how I can go so wrong
And why all of a sudden I’m singing this song,
They say “Son you’re deserting your fathers of old,
So why don’t you just come back to the fold,
You’re such a nice boy or weren’t you told
That when you were born they broke the mold
So whaddya need with this stuff ya been sold?”
But it’s a far, far better thing that I do,
Than I have ever done, when I believed what they said was true
That Yeshua is God’s only son
Well I’ve done many things and I don’t do a few
But this one thing I do makes Me a Jew Born Anew,
Yes, through and through I’m a Jew Born Anew
So Hallelujah to Yeshua from a Jew who never knew ya,
Could come to die for a schmo like I was,
Just so I could win the prize
and be with my Messiah in the skies!
They say on Bar Mitzvah day I became a man,
I’ve tried to live that way, done the best that I can,
But I’ve been worried since way back when
‘Cause I’ve never done anything great since then,
And though I could live ‘til a hundred and ten
And never have need of a fountain pen,
I might never succeed in the sight of men,
And they won’t let me get Bar Mitzvahed again!
But it’s a far, far better thing that I do,
Than I have ever done, when I believed what they said was true
That Yeshua is God’s only son
Well I’ve done many things and I don’t do a few
But this one thing I do makes Me a Jew Born Anew,
Yes, through and through I’m a Jew Born Anew
So Hallelujah to Yeshua from a Jew who never knew ya’,
Could come to die for a real schlemiel
When I couldn’t tell you were the long awaited Holy One of Israel!
So all of you who don’t know Yeshua, let me introduce Him to ya’.
He’s the blessed Messiah, the Lion of Judah
Who wants to do to ya what He did to me!
He came to live in a schlep like I was
Yep, it’s true on Christmas morn,
The truest Jew that ever was, was born!
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai,.............
..........that’s no lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie,
a Jew Born Anew Am I!!!!!!!!!!
Thank You, Jesus

First you showed me the sky, and a bird flyin’ high
Then a cross of shinin’ white
Then the wind it blew, and it filled me with You
And made my soul take flight
Now you’re everywhere, and you prove that you care
About everything I do
You take people I know, and you use them to show
Your love for me is true
Thank you, Jesus
Thank you, Jesus
You wait inside for me
Thank you, Jesus
Praise you, Jesus
You want to see me free
See me free, from all my selfish desires
Set my mind on a goal that is higher
Make my heart free from guilt, free from shame
Take my life, let it be in the glory of your name
I don’t do all the good, that I know I should
Sometimes my darkness hides your light
Still your grace you bestow
‘Cuz you want me to know, in my weakness is your might
Yes in my weakness is your might
Thank you, Jesus
Thank you, Jesus
You wait inside for me
Thank you, Jesus
Praise you, Jesus
You want to see me free
You want to see me free
The Love Of God
Words & Music By Marty Goetz
© 1994 Singin’ in the Reign Music/ASCAP
The Love of God, the Love of God
Can you see on that tree, the Love of God?
The Love of God, the Love of God
There for you, there for me, the Love of God.
He bleeds for you, He pleads for you who are needy
To let Him be
The Love of God
The Love of God
Can you see on that tree, the Love of God?
He gave all for you
Hear Him call to you who are weary
“Come to Me....”
The Love of God......
(instrumental break)
He gave all for you
Hear Him call to you who are weary
“Come to Me.....”
The Love of God, the Love of God
Can you see on that tree the Love of God
There for you, there for me
The Love of God
Here for you, here for me, here for free
Jesus He’s the Love of God…..
Light Is Sown For The Righteous
Words & Music by Marty Goetz

Light is sown for the righteous,
Joy is known by the upright in heart
Peace is grown and love is planted by those who cry;
Now they’re weepin’ but how they’re reapin’
When angels come to gather
And bring them to the kingdom of their Father
Light is sown for the righteous,
Joy is known by the upright in heart
Peace is grown and love is planted by drawing nigh;
What he’s concealin’ He’ll be revealin’
When angels come to gather
And bring them to the kingdom of their Father
The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me
His covenant love endures forever
Do not abandon the works of your hands,
And we’ll do our best to harvest the fields of white
Light is sown for the righteous
Joy is known by the upright in heart
Peace is grown and love is planted by those who die
He knows they’re sleepin’ their souls He’s keepin’
‘Til angels come to gather
And bring them to the kingdom of their Father
They have their hope in the heavens openin’
That’s when He’ll come to gather
And tell them, “Welcome to the Kingdom of your Father,
Welcome to the kingdom of your Father!”
O Lord (I’ve Done It Again)
Words & Music by Marty Goetz
© 2020 Singin’ in the Reign Music/ASCAP
O Lord, I’ve done it again
That which I did not want to do
And I know Lord, that I have sinned against you
And you alone, forgive me
Hey Lord, do you remember when
I did it before a long time ago?
What’s that you say, Lord
Just this morning I did it too
Oh, what can I tell you, but only
Create in me a clean heart O God
And renew a right spirit within me
Open my mouth, I will show forth your praise
And teach the people your ways
Make me clean, O God, from all you’ve seen, O God
That I might serve you all of my days
I wanna serve you all of my days
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Why do I never do what I should do?
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Why do I always do all the things I know you never would do?
A sacrifice acceptable in your sight
Is a spirit broken and a heart contrite
So cleanse me pure with hyssop, I’m waiting
My sins are surely dissipating me, and frustrating me
I end up hating me!
O let your mercy flow and wash me white as snow
Lord, I want you to smile, so I’ll never go and do that again
I’m gonna show, Lord, that perfect is more my style
But, it could take awhile
So help me…
Create in me a clean heart O God
And renew a right spirit within me
Open my mouth, I will show forth your praise
And teach the people your ways
Make me clean, O God, from all you’ve seen, O God
That I might serve you all of my days
I wanna serve you all of my days
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Why do I never do what I should do
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Why do I always do all the things I know you never would do
Well teach me to always do
All of the things you want me to do
And then one day I will be perfect…
Like you

Did I leave you? Did you leave me?
One of us wandered away
But now I need you to answer my plea
Though I don’t know what I’m askin’
And I know even less what I expect you to say, but...
More than the Watchman for the morning
More than the evenin’ for the dawning
I wait for you, I wait for you
By now it’s quite clear I don’t know wrong from right
And on goodness I’m makin’ no claim
But when you are here and we struggle all night
All I know is I can’t let you go ‘til you bless me
And change my name, and.....
More than the Watchman for the morning
More than the evenin’ for the dawning
I wait for you, my soul waits for you
I miss you so much I don’t know what to do
Don’t you know that I love you, must I show you too
Here is my mind for you to read
All I need is your touch, only one, only one
For you’re the only one from whom I need
Forgiveness just one more time
You’re the only one who had to bleed
For my lack of understanding, take me back
Take my hand in your way so sublime, for.....
More than the Watchman for the morning
More than the evenin’ for the dawning
I’m blinkin at the sun, I’m starin’ at the moon!
I wait for you, please come for me soon!
King of Kings
Words & Music by Marty Goetz
© 2020 Singin’ in the Reign Music/ASCAP
Jesus, where are you?
We want to sing, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Jesus, where are you?
We want to sing, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You and me, look around
Don’t see a thing, don’t hear a sound
So we’re wondering, have we really been found?
Or are we still lost?
And are we bound for that kingdom to come
Where everyone sings, you’re King of Kings
And you’re always the same, yesterday, today, and forever
And if we say your name, we can claim all that’s good
Have you promised you would be here? Or have we misunderstood?
Jesus, where are you?
We want to sing, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Jesus, where are you?
We want to sing, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You and me, swear He’s gone
And there’s no hope to stand upon
And oh how we grieve, till we hear that voice
That makes us rejoice
Say, ‘I’ll never leave, I’m not forsakin’ ya, only makin’ ya
Learn to believe, you’ll mount up on wings to the mount where all of creation
Sings, I’m King of Kings.
Oh there you are, oh Jesus, hallelujah
Hallelujah, there you are
Oh Jesus, hallelujah
Hallelujah, all of creation sings
Jesus is King of Kings

Now to Him who is able to keep us from falling
And to present us faultless, before His presence with exceeding joy
And to the only wise God, our Savior
Be glory and majesty and power and dominion
Now and forever, Amen
