We Need A Healing

by

Stephanie E. Norris

Lead: What’s the matter in Zion? Darkness drapes across the land.
Sinfulness is ever present. Satan rules on every hand.
People calling good evil, and evil things they call good.
We’ve got to turn back to the Word of God. Oh, how I wish we would!

Chorus: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray,If they shall seek my face, if they will turn from their wicked ways; Then will I hear from heaven, and forgive their sins. I will heal their land. We need a healing.

Lead: Men with men and women layin’ with women, such a wicked thing in God's sight. We don’t know if we will see tomorrow, so let’s take the time to get things right. Nobody wants to live (HOLY); denying myself is not for me.
My lifestyle says, “No it don’t matter”, but Jesus died to set me free!

Chorus: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray, If they shall seek my face, if they will turn from their wicked ways; Then will I hear from heaven, and forgive their sins. I will heal their land. We need a healing.

BRIDGE: (harmony in bold)

Will you heal me Lord? I’m humbling myself and I’m praying to you right now Lord.
Will you heal me Lord? I’m seeking your face, and I’ve turned from my wicked ways.
Oh, will you heal me Lord? You said in your Word that you would hear and forgive my sins. I will heal their land, we need a healing.

AD LIB & VAMP
We need a healing We need a healing
We need a healing Please hear our prayer Oh Lord!

We need a healing We need a healing
We need a healing Please hear our prayer Oh Lord!

We need a healing We need a healing We need a healing
We need a healing We need a healing We need a healing
Please hear our prayer Oh Lord!

We need a healing We need a healing We need a healing
We need a healing We need a healing We need a healing
Please hear our prayer Oh Lord!

Chorus: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray, If they shall seek my face, if they will turn from their wicked ways; Then will I hear from heaven, and forgive their sins. I will heal their land. We need a healing.

REDEEMED

By

Stephanie E. Norris

I’ve been redeemed, saved by God, been set free
Bought with a price, God’s own son gave His life on the cross
I’ve been redeemed.

I had sank so far in sin, that light could not get in
I could not tell the darkness from the day
But when you came along, I sang a brand new song,
And it is all because I’ve been redeemed.

I’ve been redeemed, saved by God, been set free
Bought with a price, God’s own son gave His life on the cross
I’ve been redeemed.

Now, I know that you can see the change He’s made in me
My life has changed and nothing is the same.
I don’t walk, don’t talk, don’t think, don’t smoke, don’t cuss, don’t drink.
You know why, YES!, I’ve been redeemed.

I’ve been redeemed, saved by God, been set free
Bought with a price, God’s own son gave His life on the cross
I’ve been redeemed.

*Bridge*

Now everything has changed, since You called my name.
All things that were old have been made new.
You paid the debt for me, now I have been set free.
I’m free, I’m free

I’ve been redeemed, saved by God, been set free
Bought with a price, God’s own son gave His life on the cross
I’ve been redeemed.

I’ve been redeemed, saved by God, been set free
Bought with a price, God’s own son gave His life on the cross
I’ve been redeemed

I WOKE UP

I woke up this morning with my mind stayed on Jesus
I woke up this morning with my mind stayed on the Lord
I woke up this morning with my mind stayed on Jesus
My mind, my mind, on my mind.

I woke up this morning, and Lord I had you on my mind.
I couldn’t help but thank you because my family was doing fine.
I don’t have everything I want, but Lord I got what I need.
You told me that if I would seek you first, that you’d provide everything.

I woke up this morning with my mind stayed on Jesus
I woke up this morning with my mind stayed on the Lord
I woke up this morning with my mind stayed on Jesus
My mind, my mind, on my mind.

I used to worry when my bills came due, and I knew I didn’t have one dime.
I didn’t know how I would make it through, but you always stepped in on time.
You said that you would clothe the flowers, and every bird of the air you’d feed.
And I believe if you can do all that, then you can take care of me.

I woke up this morning with my mind stayed on Jesus
I woke up this morning with my mind stayed on the Lord
I woke up this morning with my mind stayed on Jesus
My mind, my mind, on my mind.

Voices Split Bridge

(tenors) I woke up I woke up
I woke up I woke up
(sopranos) On my mind On my mind
On my mind On my mind
(altos) I’ve got Jesus on my mind, got Jesus on my mind
I’ve got Jesus on my mind, got Jesus on my mind

I woke up this morning with my mind stayed on Jesus
I woke up this morning with my mind stayed on the Lord
I woke up this morning with my mind stayed on Jesus
My mind, my mind, on my mind.
(Vamp out)
I got Jesus on my mind, I got Jesus on my...mind

RESTORE

I wake up every morning with a frown upon my face,
Thinking ‘bout the ones who’ve done me wrong and not your grace.
I can never see the blessings; but can always see the need.
I’m looking for a harvest, but I never sow a seed.

I need you to restore my joy
I need you to rebuild my faith
I need you to create a heart within me that won’t ever go astray.
I need you to revive my zeal,
So people know that I’m for real.
I need you to R-E-S-T-O-R-E, restore.
I need you to restore.

I think back on the times when I just couldn’t find my way.
I called on all my “so-called” friends but they sent me away.
I cried—and I sighed—and I moaned—and I groaned about all I was going through,
But now I know what I did wrong and I’m turning back to you.

I need you to restore my joy
I need you to rebuild my faith
I need you to create a heart within me that won’t ever go astray.
I need you to revive my zeal,
So people know that I’m for real.
I need you to R-E-S-T-O-R-E, restore.
I need you to restore.

**********
Can you make me laugh? Can you make me smile?
Can you give me peace, if only for a while?
Can you fill my heart with joy I’ve never known?
Can you show me where you promised me that I would never be alone?
**********

I need you to restore my joy
I need you to rebuild my faith
I need you to create a heart within me that won’t ever go astray.
I need you to revive my zeal,
So people know that I’m for real.
I need you to R-E-S-T-O-R-E, restore.
I need you to restore. (Repeat and vamp out)

ONLY YOU

When I look back on my life, and I think of where I’ve been,
On the many things I’ve said and done, simply trying to fit in.
I was seeking peace in everyone, except the one I should.
But now I know that God is real, and he’s working for my good.

Only You could take the pieces of my life and make them whole.
Only You could heal my broken heart, my poor and wounded soul.
Only You could take my breath away by the awesome things you do.
Only You, only You, Jesus, only You.

When this life had overwhelmed me, and I didn’t know where to turn;
When my burdens got so heavy, and for rest my heart did yearn;
I could remember a song that said, ‘you are just a prayer away’.
So, I got on my knees, and I bowed my head, and I began to say.

Only You could take the pieces of my life and make them whole.
Only You could heal my broken heart, my poor and wounded soul.
Only You could take my breath away by the awesome things you do.
Only You, only You, Jesus, only You.

Only You would give Your life for me while I was yet in sin.
And yes, I know without a doubt, that You would do it again.
Only You could find the good in me that no one else could see.
Only You, only You, Jesus, only You.

Only You, only You, only You, nobody, nobody but you.
I will forever give my love, my life, my soul to only you.
Only you, Only you, Only you…
