**Because You First Loved Me**

**Lyrics Below.** “Because You First Loved Me” is a 1970s-inspired Christian funk singer-songwriter song built around a warm, rhythmic groove of clean electric guitar, vintage Rhodes piano, punchy melodic bass, Hammond B3, congas, timbales, and layered background harmonies. The song is a declaration of love and gratitude to Jesus Christ, recognizing that our love for Him is a response to the love He first showed us. It moves from worship and surrender into praise, the pursuit of His presence, and the desire for the fire of His love to continually burn within our hearts.

**Scripture Reference — 1 John 4:19**

*“We love him, because he first loved us.”*

[Intro]

[clean rhythmic electric guitar, punchy bass, steady drum kit]

[Verse 1]

(Ooh)

Going to take a little time right now

Before your presence I will bow

(Yeah, yeah)

Yesterday, today, and forever you never change

For your love is everlasting

[Chorus]

[layered vocal harmonies enter]

I love you Lord (Mmm-hmm)

Because you first loved me, yes you did

For there is no one like you

Your holy presence I'll pursue

(Oh yeah)

[Verse 2]

Going to bring an offering of praise

With holy hands I will raise

To the God of Abraham I cry

The name of Jesus I glorify

[Chorus]

I love you Lord (Mmm-hmm)

Because you first loved me, yes you did

For there is no one like you

Your holy presence I'll pursue

(Oh yeah)

[Bridge]

[Outro]

Going to stir the fire in my heart, Lord

With the fire of love is where I need to start

With the sacrifice of praise

Sing praise to the ancient of days

I love you Lord

Because you first loved me, yes you did

For there is no one like you

Your holy presence I'll pursue

I love you Lord

Because you first loved me, yes you did

I love you Lord

Because you first loved me, yes you did

**Lyrics Below — “One Of These Days”** is a joyful, expectant song about looking beyond this present life toward the day when the trumpet sounds and we enter forever into the presence of the Lord. The verses begin with quiet, everyday images—morning light, waking from a dream, and a traveler walking the narrow way—before opening into the declaration, *“One of these days I’m gonna fly.”* Musically, this 2026 Remix is rooted in classic 1970s Southern rock, moving at 115 BPM in G major with a warm blend of blues, country, gospel, and roots rock. Strummed acoustic guitar and clean electric guitar give way to rich Hammond B3, rolling gospel-blues piano, melodic bass, natural drums, congas, hand percussion, and strong Southern-rock male harmonies in the choruses. A major instrumental feature is the extended harmonized double-lead guitar section, with two electric guitars weaving lyrical major-key melodies, sustained bends, call-and-response phrases, and soaring harmony lines. The result is a warm, melodic Southern-rock worship song filled with anticipation for the day when faith becomes sight and there is joy forevermore in the presence of Jesus.

[Intro]

[strummed acoustic guitar, clean electric guitar lead riff]

[Verse 1]

Morning dove taps on my window

Curtain moves, sunlight in my eyes

Thoughts slowly rise like a whisp of smoke

I was living in a dream until I awoke

[Chorus]

One of these days I'm gonna fly

One of these days when the trumpet sounds

Joy unspeakable, full of glory there

In the presence of the Lord is joy forevermore

[Verse 2]

Ramlin' man, roamin' on the narrow way

Singing songs of praise, oh happy day

He lifts his head, his gaze begins to rise

He turns to me and says, "Keep your eyes on the prize"

[Chorus]

One of these days I'm gonna fly

One of these days when the trumpet sounds

Joy unspeakable, full of glory there

In the presence of the Lord is joy forevermore

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

One of these days I'm gonna fly

One of these days when the trumpet sounds

Joy unspeakable, full of glory there

In the presence of the Lord is joy forevermore

[Outro]

One of these days I'm gonna fly

One of these days I'm gonna fly

One of these days when the trumpet sounds

Lyrics below.

“Looking Back At The Wonder Years” is a reflective Christian singer-songwriter song rooted in the warm, organic sound of 1970s folk rock. Built around acoustic guitar, melodic electric-guitar lines, steady drums, and an understated band arrangement, the song looks back on a lifetime of faith, family, travel, joy, and hardship.

The verses tell the story of being young and on the road with little more than Bibles, backpacks, and songs, then move through the birth of a child and finally into a grateful reflection on the passing years. Through every season, the central theme remains the faithfulness of Jesus.

The chorus draws from the language of Psalm 5, turning the memories of the verses into a continuing prayer: “Give ear to my words, O Lord… Harken unto the voice of my cry.”

Musically, the song carries the thoughtful character of a classic 1970s folk-rock singer-songwriter recording, with open, natural instrumentation, expressive guitar work, and a restrained vocal that remains part of the ensemble rather than overpowering it.

LOOKING BACK AT THE WONDER YEARS

[Verse 1]

We were young and we were on the road

Traveling down life's highway

We had nothing but we had everything

Bibles and backpacks and songs to sing

[Chorus]

Give ear to my words, O Lord

Consider my meditation

Harken unto the voice of my cry

My Lord, my God, my king

[Verse 2]

The cry of our child when she was born

Echoing in the delivery room

Joy filled the air and our spirits too

Glory of the Lord came in her day-BYOO

[Chorus]

Give ear to my words, O Lord

Consider my meditation

Harken unto the voice of my cry

My Lord, my God, my king

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Give ear to my words, O Lord

Consider my meditation

Harken unto the voice of my cry

My Lord, my God, my king

[Verse 3]

Looking back at those wonder years

Filled with laughter and sometimes tears

Jesus, you were faithful and true

I know I couldn't have made it without you

[Chorus]

Give ear to my words, O Lord

Consider my meditation

Harken unto the voice of my cry

My Lord, my God, my king

**Lyrics Below —** “Far Away From Home” is an uplifting modern **Bluegrass / New Grass worship song** built around driving acoustic guitars, upright bass, mandolin, banjo, fiddle, and warm Rhodes electric piano. The arrangement combines traditional bluegrass energy with a fuller contemporary sound, while the lyric follows a believer traveling through the beauty of creation with Jesus beside him. Though far from his earthly home, he is never alone—the journey is leading toward the heavenly **City of Light**, where the greatest joy will be seeing Jesus face to face.

## Far Away From Home

[Verse 1]

Mountains, rivers, valley streams and fields

The beauty of creation love now sealed

Opened up my eyes again to see

A new day dawning giving praise to thee

[Chorus]

I'm far away, far away from home

Far away, but never alone

I'm walking with Jesus day and night

We're heading to the city, the city of light

Tapestry of dazzling stars at night

Draws me closer to your heart of light

Close my eyes to sleep night visions to see

Your arms of love holding on to me

I'm far away, far away from home

Far away, but never alone

I'm walking with Jesus day and night

We're heading to the city, the city of light

I'm far away, far away from home

Far away, but never alone

I'm walking with Jesus day and night

We're heading to the city, the city of light

[Verse 3]

Walking on the streets of gold is heaven's delight

Seeing the saints of God in garments so bright

But the best part of all that I will get to see

Is Jesus face to face eternally

[Chorus]

I'm far away, far away from home

Far away, but never alone

I'm walking with Jesus day and night

We're heading to the city, the city of light

[Outro]

I'm far away, far away from home

Far away, but never alone

I'm far away, far away from home

Far away, but never alone

The Heartbeat Of The Father by Shiloh Worship Music

**Lyrics Below —** I wrote **“Lord Hear My Prayer”** during an extremely difficult season in our family. My daughter, an ICU nurse who had spent so much of her life caring for others, began suffering from debilitating chronic daily migraines. Day after day, she lived with intense pain, and for nearly a year nothing the doctors tried brought lasting relief. As I watched her walk through this trial, I wrote this song as a prayer—crying out to the Lord in desperation, holding on to His promises, and trusting that even when we could not see an answer, Jesus had not abandoned us. After nearly a year of suffering, **Jesus brought her a miraculous healing**, and the chronic migraines were gone. This song remains a testimony of suffering, faith, perseverance, answered prayer, and the miraculous healing power of Jesus Christ.

**Verse 1**

Lord, I’m Here Once Again

And I’m Waiting For You

You Promised Me You Would Never Forsake Me

You Promised Me You’d Never Leave Me Alone

**Chorus**

Lord, Hear My Prayer

I Cry To You In Despair

Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child

Jesus, Help Me In This Trial

**Verse 2**

Lord, It’s A Miracle I Need

And Only You Can Save Me

You Are My Shepherd And My Guide

Jesus, You Are Always By My Side

**Chorus**

Lord, Hear My Prayer

I Cry To You In Despair

Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child

Jesus, Help Me In This Trial

**Verse 3**

Lord, You Are Faithful And True

Nothing Is Impossible For You To Do

You Created The Universe In Six Days

The Sun, The Moon, The Stars

Your Glory On Display

**Chorus**

Lord, Hear My Prayer

I Cry To You In Despair

Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child

Jesus, Help Me In This Trial

**Lyrics Below — “Who Paints the Sky?”** is an intimate worship song built around wonder at God’s creation and the love revealed through it. The arrangement is rooted in late-1960s and early-1970s folk-rock, led throughout by bright steel-string acoustic guitar in open tuning with intricate fingerpicking, ringing drones, and rhythmic melodic movement. Warm bass, restrained acoustic drums, close vocal harmonies, clean electric guitar responses, and expressive blues-inflected violin surround the lead without overpowering the song’s reflective character. The instrumental section first gives the open-tuned acoustic guitar a featured lead, followed by an improvised violin lead. The lyric moves from clouds, stars, dawn, and rainbows to a simple declaration of worship: there is no one like You.

**Who Paints the Sky?**

Who paints the sky?

Who painted the sky tonight?

Who sends the clouds

Billowing in majesty?

You painted them with love

Your thoughts turned to colors above

**Chorus**

There's no one like You

Infinite in majesty

You captured my heart with Your love

Who calls the dawn?

Who tells the morning sun to rise?

And who hangs the stars

Like diamonds across the night?

You painted them with love

Your glory shines from above

**Chorus**

There's no one like You

Infinite in majesty

You captured my heart with Your love

**Bridge**

Maker of the rainbow

You put the stars in their place

You put this love in my heart

**Chorus**

There's no one like You

Infinite in majesty

You captured my heart with Your love

**Final Chorus**

There's no one like You

Infinite in majesty

You captured my heart with Your love

Jesus

**Outro**

Who paints the sky? (Jesus)

Who painted the sky tonight? (Jesus)

Who sends the clouds (Jesus)

Billowing in majesty? (Jesus)

You painted them with love

Your thoughts turned to colors above

Jesus

**Paroles ci-dessous — « Qui peint le ciel ? »** est un chant d’adoration intime qui contemple la beauté de la création et la main de Dieu derrière chaque détail. Porté par une guitare acoustique à cordes d’acier en accordage ouvert, un fingerpicking très présent, une basse chaleureuse, une batterie retenue, des harmonies vocales serrées et un violon expressif aux accents blues, le morceau s’inscrit dans une esthétique folk-rock de la fin des années 1960 et du début des années 1970. Les paroles lèvent les yeux vers les nuages, les étoiles, l’aurore, l’arc-en-ciel et les couleurs du ciel, puis reviennent à une confession simple : il n’y a personne comme Toi. La voix reste proche, naturelle et contenue, laissant toute sa place à la guitare acoustique et au violon dans l’arrangement.

**Qui peint le ciel ?**

Qui peint le ciel ?

Qui a peint le ciel ce soir ?

Qui mène les nuages

Roulant avec majesté ?

Tu les as peints d’amour

Tes pensées prennent couleur là-haut

**Refrain**

Il n’y a personne comme Toi

Infini en majesté

Ton amour a conquis mon cœur

Qui appelle l’aube ?

Qui fait lever le soleil d’or ?

Qui pend les étoiles

Comme des diamants dans la nuit ?

Tu les as peints d’amour

Ta gloire resplendit d’en haut

**Refrain**

Il n’y a personne comme Toi

Infini en majesté

Ton amour a conquis mon cœur

**Pont**

Auteur de l’arc-en-ciel

Tu mets les étoiles en place

Tu mets l’amour dans mon cœur

**Refrain**

Il n’y a personne comme Toi

Infini en majesté

Ton amour a conquis mon cœur

**Refrain final**

Il n’y a personne comme Toi

Infini en majesté

Ton amour a conquis mon cœur

Jésus

**Outro**

Qui peint le ciel ? (Jésus)

Qui a peint le ciel ce soir ? (Jésus)

Qui mène les nuages (Jésus)

Roulant avec majesté ? (Jésus)

Tu les as peints d’amour

Tes pensées prennent couleur là-haut

Jésus

Jésus
