Turn To You

I wrote this song a long time ago. When I first started my blog, I was going to record another one I wrote around the same time. Somehow, this one came out first. A year later on from then, and I still haven't done as much music as I thought.

I still don't understand God. I'm probably naive to think that life gets easier as you get older, maybe that's why every day's a struggle. However, God's in control, and He knows what he's doing, even if I don't.

Turn To You

Paul Mulroney 1997

Father, hallowed be Thy name
At the end of this long day
Help me find a way to speak of the fear
That’s hidden in the cares of the day

Lord my heart is breaking
I don’t know what to do
In agony I’m waiting for the dawn
A new sunrise, gentle light
My soul reborn

I turn to You, the Author of my faith
I turn to You, the One who holds my fate in His hands
I turn to You, and sometimes I just don’t understand
Yet I’m trusting You, we will see this through

Desperations waking in me
A yearning now for more
Of what He has in store for me
And trust that He who made the seas
Will steer me to that shore

And though the waves are fearsome
I’m tossed about the seas
I know that standing right here with me
Is the captain who from distant shores
Will steer me safely home

Lord I’m trusting You, we will see this through
I put my trust in You, we will see this through

Come, Lord, Fill This Place

This is another song we did on the worship team. You can also find these songs, and others written by other Australian worship leaders, on the Vineyard Worship website.


Listen to it here: Come, Lord, Fill This Place

Come Lord Fill This Place

Words & Music: Paul Mulroney 2004

(verse 1)
Waiting in your presence Lord
Hungry for your touch
Crying out for your direction
Want to hear from you so much

(chorus)
So come Lord, fill this place
Let your spirit fall on us
May grace descend to rescue us

(verse 2)
Lord our eyes are fixed on you
Leave the past behind
Lead us onto new horizons
Want to hear from you so much

Bow

In my old church I was on the music team. I really wanted to be creative and write songs. I finally got my chance. Some time after we had written and performed it at church, I recorded it on my Apple iBook G4 using Garage Band. I've finally figured out how to put it up here on my blog, so for your listening pleasure, find my song "Bow".

(chorus)
Bow before the King of Kings
Bow before the Ruler of everything
Bow before the King of Kings
Bow before the Ruler of everything

(verse 1)
I love to worship You
I love to praise Your name
I love to make You Lord
I love to glorify Your name

(chorus)

(verse 2)
I want to worship You
I want to praise Your name
I want to make You Lord
I want to glorify Your name

(bridge)
Come before Him in worship
Come before Him with praise
Come before Him with thanksgiving
Come to glorify His name

(verse 3)
I come to worship You
I come to praise Your name
I come to make You Lord
I come to glorify Your name
