FILL ME UP WITH SUNSHINE

„Judy Baileys 17. Album: Ein Lob auf das Leben, ein Jubel gen Himmel. Es gibt stille Gebete genauso wie laute Momente und Lieder, die in die Welt hinausschreien: ‚Komm schon, wir schaffen das!‘ (…) So ist das Album auch eine Hommage an das Leben und Gänsehaut ist garantiert.“ (Rheinische Post)

LYRICS

KEEP YOUR HEAD UP

Faith can move mountains – I believe it is so
Love eases suffering – I believe it is so
Hope won’t give up what the eye cannot see

Up high, lift your head to the sky – Head up!
Keep your head up, keep your head
Up high, though you weep, though you cry – Head up!
Keep your head up, keep your head up

Prayer changes something – I believe it is so
Good times are coming – I believe it is so
Truth is it’s tough but truth not just what we feel

The way may be hard to see
Still believe – Keep your head up
Hope and breathe
Stay, don’t leave
Won’t you please – Keep your head up
Change may be
Hard to see
Won’t you please – Keep your head up
Hope and breathe
Stay, don’t leave
Trust and believe – Keep your head up
Carry on, keep on riding
Rest a while but keep on shining

AGAIN

Wake up a new morning
While the day is dawning
I give my thanks again
Again, again, again
Praises starting early
All along my journey
I give it up again
Again, again, again

Praises for the sunrise
Praises for this rebirth
Praises cause I’m still alive
Conscious of my true worth
Another day, another cry
Another chance to heal the hurt
Praises to the Most High
Your love has got me

Word!
Your love is like the best thing in the world
So sweet my soul surrenders in return
Our crucial, universal need is love, love, love
And Your love won’t forget me

Sun goes down at evening
While the day is leaving
I give my thanks again
Again, again, again
Quiet conversation
Like resuscitation
You breathe in me again
Again, again, again

In the murmur, in the madness
In our daily, daily
In the stillness, in the nighttime
In the self unseen
In the spaces between moments
In the quest within me
In the mirror, in the shadows
You are carrying me

I NEED YOUR LIGHT

I’m suffering and tired swimming upstream
Wondering can I give what life is asking of me
I’ve been searching for a way to go on
I can’t seem to understand this
My soul is in struggle, my heart is in stress
My spirit’s in trouble, my emotions – a mess
It’s overwhelming and it’s hard to explain
The way that I’m feeling

Right now, it’s not easy, I can`t see ahead
Barely recognize myself, hanging on by a thread
I thought I could make it alone through the night
But I can’t and if I’m honest – I need Your light
I need Your light, Your light

They say talk about it, but who do you trust
I’m one of those who are trying to heal from things
they do not discuss
The independence that served me so well
It now seems it’s overrated

I need Your light here
Won’t You turn Your light on
I need Your light here
Come and turn it on

Music & Lyrics: Judy Bailey

YAHWEH

Yahweh, I feel Your Spirit
Feel Your Spirit all over me

Yahweh, I can feel Your Spirit is descending
Right here – surely it’s Your presence I am sensing

I feel Spirit, Spirit, Spirit all over
I feel Spirit, Spirit, Spirit all over yeah
Let Your fire fall, Holy Spirit take over

Yahweh, I can feel with You how I’m ascending
Rising – sweet release, Your Spirit’s so reviving

We need You to come
We’re needing Your cover
And all that You are
We’re needing Your power

FILL ME UP WITH SUNSHINE

My heart, my soul
My temperament and my flow
My thoughts, my mind
My deep that’s harder to find
Fill me up with sunshine
Fill me up with sunshine

My love, my vibe
My sentiment and my style
The life I live
The energy that I give
Fill me up with sunshine
Fill me up with sunshine

There’s an open door for You to come on in
and warm my soul
Where the shadows settle,
where corners are growing cold

Feel a flash of freedom on my face
Like a summer of amazing grace
Fill me up, fill me up with Your energy
Fill me up, fill me up, You’re the One I need

My hurt, my rage
My cynicism, my age
My eyes, my smile
My innocence and my inner child
Fill me up with sunshine
Fill me up with sunshine

What I conceal
The loneliness that I feel
That hole in me
That ache that still will not let me be
Fill me up with sunshine
Fill me up with sunshine

And here somewhere in between the hues,
the shade, the light, the dark
In the quiet questioning, trembling, healing starts
I’ll be searching, running to You waiting
Hoping for Your spark
Til Your love is burning, exploding inside my heart

Feel a flash of freedom on my face
Like a summer of amazing grace
Fill me up, fill me up with Your energy
Fill me up, fill me up, You’re the One I need

Like a kiss of life, a dream revived
How You help me feel like I’m alive
Fill me up, fill me up with Your energy
Fill me up, fill me up, You’re the One I need

Fill me up, fill me up
Fill me up with sunshine

SOMEONE

Someone to lift your eyes up
Someone who knows your feelings
Someone to soothe your heartache
Someone to help your healing

On the days that it seems nobody sees you
I hope and I pray you know
You’ve got a friend in Jesus

Someone to lift your eyes up…

On the days that you wish
Life would be sweeter
Accessible, personal
God is the friend that sees you – Mo wa dupe o

On the days that you feel lonely and beaten
Remember God close to you
You’ve got a friend that sees you

On the days that you feel lonely and beaten
Available, personal
Always a friend that sees you
You’ve got a friend in Jesus – Mo wa dupe o

I hope and I pray you know
Always a friend in Jesus – Mo wa dupe o
You’ve got a friend in Jesus – Mo wa dupe o

SAVE ME

Save me
Won’t You come and save me God
So much crying, I am weary
And the waters overwhelm me
Won’t You come and save me God

Turn to me, answer me
Comforter, carry me
Draw near to my soul cause Your love is what I need
Won’t You come and save me God

Walk with me, cover me
Hold my heart, stay with me
Draw near to my soul cause Your love is what I need
Won’t You come and save me God

Oh, save me
Won’t You come and save me God
So much crying, I am weary
And all this overwhelms me
Won’t You come and save me God

GO TO MY GOD

Our world is hurting
These times seem so uncertain
Where can I go to
Go to my God
Sometimes confusing
When there is no solution
Here’s what I’m doing
Go to my God

My God is my Guide leading on through the night
When I feel overwhelmed still I have hope
My hope keeps me strong, looking up, moving on
Come whatever, my destiny’s still secure

The One that I run to
My hope and my future
My faith is my anchor
Where do I go
Go to my God

No grace is greater
I’m trusting my Creator
Sooner or later
Go to my God
Love draws me closer
And when my time is over
Still going further
Go to my God

RAP
Star of Bethlehem, lead in darkness
God of excellence, He’s the target
Heart of pestilence seems the farthest
Regardless – He’s gonna reap the harvest
Like olives, holy, sweet delight
Find solace, wholly in Jesus Christ
In my battles the castle shields my life
Follow like a shadow but he’s the light
Get up early to speak to him earnestly
See his mercy is beaming in burgundy
On my journey I seek him with certainty
In my grief, in my peace, in eternity

The God of my past and my present and future
Has promised and never will let us go
Though it’s hard to explain in my spirit I sense
There is depth to the mystery still unknown

BUT WE DON’T LOVE PEOPLE

If our sacred walls could ever see
How we’re living, our reality
Would they see the love
That we’re talking of out there?
Where’s our mercy, where’s our empathy?
Are we losing our humanity?
Seems our grace is gone
And we still go on unfazed
There’s a disconnect –
And Jesus shakes His head

Hey, hey, hey, hey
You’d think that everything’s ok
But how is this supposed to work
Sitting inside our church
Got a feeling like something’s wrong
When we’re singing how we love God
But we don’t love people

Love will make our credibility
Stronger every time compassion leads
When we live our prayers
We give justice space to breathe
Cause we define the face of faith
Remember actions speak more than what we say
Actions speak more than what we pray
Let our witness be how we live each day
You know actions speak
Louder than the words in the prayers we pray

This challenge is my own
Let love be felt, let love be known

GOD IS FOR US

God is for us and if that’s for real
Who could stand against the chosen ones
Confident am I and I believe
Love’s alive and stays whatever comes

Cause our God is for us
We never walk alone
God’s on our side so carry on

Though we struggle we will overcome
Jesus got our back and we are blessed
Nothing separates us from this love
Neither highs nor lows, not life nor death

I will trust your word
You said you’ll never let me go
You’ll never let me go
You’ll never let me go

I AM ALIVE (HALLELUJAH)

Halle halle halle halle halle halle hallelujah

When I wake up in the morning
And I see the sun
I send up praises,
I know it’s a privilege
To be alive

From the rising to the setting
When the day is done
I send up praises,
I know it’s a privilege
To be alive

Worries I’m not discounting
But I’m counting every blessing hallelujah
Everyday is thanksgiving
For everyday I am living hallelujah

I want to give praise
With me hand raised
Singing hallelujah
To the one on high
My eyes to the sky
Where my praises go
I will always show
I’m thankful for life, for life, for life

All the pleasure and enjoyment
Every moment of fun
I send up praises, I know it’s a privilege
To be alive

Every failure or disappointment
When heartache and sadness come
I send up praises, I know it’s a privilege
To be alive

RAP
Every gold sunbeam, every minute yeah
Every breath that goes through my system yeah
Every laugh that I hold in my spirit yeah
Every rap, flow, every rhythm
All this hope is a privilege yeah
Thanks for every emotion that I feel
Every chance, rollercoaster rides, squeals
The ups and downs, the showdowns and my zeal
I’m just tryna make Jehovah proud – das mein Ziel
Don’t need a plaque to be in a good mood
Soul can relax when I’m hearing these tunes
Want me off track but I stay on the move, move, move
What they gonna do?
Praise to the sky make this life a party
Feel so alive every part of my body
On the path of light – I ain’t feeling sorry
Thought I would fail?
I’m with God – just watch me yeah

LET’S GET TOGETHER

Let’s get together
Carry the light
Keep praying for peace

FAITH, HOPE, LOVE – CARRY ON

It’s hitting home
All the heartbreak that’s going on
The devastation of waging war
Raging, raging rage
Who’d have known
We’d regress when we thought we’d grown
Just when we thought were moving on
Changes changing change

And now it’s close
Through the rubble, can’t dust it off
Weighed down heavy from what was lost
How to start again
And I realise
Sometimes there’s no good compromise
Though I know we can never restore what has gone
Faith, hope, love – carry on!

Time will show
Just how deep all these wounds will go
Will they fester and will they grow
How to ease the pain?
We need support
The basic things are those we need the most
Feel the strain trying to lift my soul
Where is God again?

Our values have been overthrown
Freedom, justice and peace have flown
Have you got some light – anyone?
Mine is going dim
For now, we trudge through the rough
The next heartbeat, the next breath’s enough
Step by step – please just don’t give up
Cause truth’s still strong
And faith, hope, love – carry on!

TODAY

Today, while I have time
Let me take the chance to live while I have time
Today, while I have time
Let me take the chance for joy while I have time
Let me know what life is worth
Let me celebrate the moment
Let me rest and find my peace while I have time

Today, while I have time
Let me treasure those I love while I have time
Today, while I have time
I won’t let love slip away while I have time
I’ll be true to myself
Brave enough to share my feelings
Let me learn and let me grow while I have time

Today, while I have time
Let me open up my heart while I have time
Today, while I have time
Let me give my thanks and praise while I have time
Let me make my peace with God
Let me walk with my Creator
Be forgiven and forgive while I have time

Let me share the good I have
Knowing God is in my neighbour
Let me live like I’m still here while I have time
While I have time

GIVE YOUR LOVE TO THE ONE

Oh – everybody sing, bring your offering
Give your love to the One

I lift my eyes up to the mountains
And I know for sure where my strength comes from
Not from the mountains but from the Maker
My Creator – God of earth and heaven
Always with us, never slumbering, never sleeping
Our Source is faithful and true
Our Guardian and I don’t know where we would be
If grace would not help us through

Oh – everybody sing, bring your offering
Give your love to the One
Oh – may each breath we breathe
And the life we live. Give your love to the One

God has held us, always healing and empowering
Our God still easing our pain
Giving comfort, reassurance and is blessing us
Again and again
Spirit, wake up, spirit, wake up, spirit, wake up
Come alive my soul and sing
Come on – give your love to the One

It’s coming in waves
The realization how good God’s been to me
It’s coming in waves, coming in waves
I’m giving my praise and my appreciation
For how good God’s been to me
I’m giving my praise, giving my praise

PEACE – WE ALL NEED SOME

Peace, peace – we all need some
Heaven, spread your peace to everyone
While we’re waiting for peace to come
We’ll keep looking to the light of God
Keep on looking to the light

Hope, hope – we all need some…

Love, love – we all need some…

I PRAY FOR BLESSING

May love surround you and grace confound you
Heaven keep you safe
May you have wonder
Life’s spark enough to keep your fire ablaze
I pray joy and laughter
And hope you’ll have a quiet confidence
That all you require
Will be given by the hands of Providence

I pray for blessing in your heart
I pray for blessing in your soul
I pray for blessing in your mind
I pray you’re blessed in all you do, do, do
And on your way
I pray for blessing every day
I pray for blessing in these times
I pray for blessing over you, you, you

I pray faith and guidance when rivers rise up
May your hope remain
May inspiration and good vibrations
Help to ease your pain
I pray intuition, courage
Resilience in every circumstance
And that you’ll bounce back
With a new spring in your step
That sets you free to dance

Morning and evening
All through the nighttime
Goodness and mercy follow you
Favour unceasing
I pray for the light and love of God to cover you

FILL ME UP WITH SUNSHINE
