ALEXANDRA CELANO -- I'M OVERCOME

I'M OVERCOME

I’m overcome by the love you’ve shown for me.
I’m swept away in your arms.
Tears of joy roll down my face.
Lord, I’m overcome.

I’ve prayed your mysteries.
Witnessed your sweet consolation, all around me.
Forgiveness pouring on
And all without hesitation.

I’m overcome by the love you’ve shown for me.
I’m swept away in your arms.
Tears of joy roll down my face.
Lord, I’m overcome.

I may not understand
All the choices that you make, in my life.
Yes there’s a larger plan,
And I’m content with the ride.

I’m overcome by the love you’ve shown for me.
I’m swept away in your arms.
Tears of joy roll down my face.
Lord, I’m overcome.
Lord, I’m overcome.

I WILL GO

In times of trouble, in times of need
I have no fear inside of me.
My gaze is steady, my purpose clear.
You are my maker, the reason I am here.

And I will go, go where you lead me.
I will go, I’ll go when you call.
I will go, go where you lead me.
I will go, go when you call.

You’ve always known me for what I am,
And still you love me, you understand.
My human frailties, you hold them dear.
Show tender mercy, wipe away my tears.

‘Cause I know the story.
I know the way it ends after this.
And I will be eternally with you after this.

IN THIS PLACE

Sanctuary, blessed home. In this place, we call our own.
Feel the spirit. Feel his grace. It’s everywhere in this place.

In this place we gather in your name.
Your sons and your daughters, united just the same.
Hear our prayers before you. We leave them at your feet.
In this place a refuge whose shelter brings us peace.

Holy chapel. Home to all.
We’ll be your stewards. We’ll heed the call.
Be our anchor in the storm. In your arms, keep us warm.

Bless this house and all who enter here today.
In search of comfort, strength and answers we pray.
Accept our humble gratitude.

Lord Bless this house.
Lord Bless this house.
Lord Bless this house.

MY FATHER'S HANDS

Like a potter with his clay,
The shape I am today,
Is the work of my father’s hands.
The person I’ve become,
Modeled on his son,
Is the work of my father’s hands.
They cradle me.

My father’s hands so strong and kind
Have carried me throughout my life,
My father’s hands will welcome my return.
My father’s hands won’t let go,
Wiping away the tears that flow.
My father’s hands will catch me if I fall.
They’ll catch me if I fall.

Like a writer with his pen,
The way my story ends
Is the work of my father’s hands.
The weakness that I know
And the gifts that overflow
Are the works of my father’s hands.
They nurture me.

My soul and my heart
Engraved before my start
And I’m humbled in his name...in his name.

LET THE RIVER FLOW

I embrace your love for me. I will do your works you shine through me. You are my shepherd that guides me home.

Let the river flow, let the river flow, flow over me, Alleluia. Let the river flow, flow, flow right over me. Let my heart be light, let my heart be light, as I sing your praise - praise. Let my heart be light. Let my soul rejoice all through my days.

I realize that I am blessed in a world of pain, greed and unrest. Help me see outside of my own desire.

Flow river flow...Alleluia, let the river flow on me. Flow river flow...All through my days. Flow river flow, let the river flow on me. Flow river flow right over me.

Let the river flow, let the river flow, flow over me, Alleluia. Let the river flow, flow, flow right over me, Alleluia. Let my heart be light as I sing your praise - praise. Let my heart be light. Let my soul rejoice all through my days. Let the river flow, let the river flow, flow over me, Alleluia. Let the river flow, flow, flow right over me, let it flow. Let the river flow. Let the river flow, flow over me, Alleluia. Let the river flow, flow, flow - flow, flow, flow - flow flow flow - right over me.

YOU

Lord I know you’re always around me.
It gives me peace to know you surround me.
You’re the water in my cup.
Only you can fill me up.
God you are so precious to me.

You are the spirit in my soul.
You, you’re what makes me whole.
You are the spirit in my soul.

Lord you’ve always shown me the way.
How I cherish you everyday.
Give me life so I can breath.
Nothing else I need.
I just want to be true to you.

You are the light that shines in me, in me.
You show me all that I can be.
You are the light that shines in me.

You bless my life in countless ways
And you love me all my days.
You give me faith so I can fly
And hope that I might try.
You bless my life in countless ways.

You bless my life in countless ways.

You are the spirit in my soul.
You, you’re what makes me whole.

GRANDPA

Grandpa is the rock in my family.
He’s always been there, especially for me.
With rosy red cheeks and a smile from ear to ear.
Chuckles telling stories,
His laughter turns to tears.

He is our strength. He is our guide.
He’s always there, right by our side.
He’s all of these things and so much more.
Grandpa, it’s you we adore.

A father, a provider, a saint to the core.
Lives life by the golden rule. A man of God and more.
Advice that he gives me, I cherish ‘til this day.
There really is no other that’s touched my life this way.

Grandpa always gives the best hugs around.
Says grace at Thanksgiving,
Knows everyone in town.

Grandpa always taught me
What matters in the this life.
It’s not the material things,
But God’s holy light, holy light.

I love you...

YOU'RE GOOD FOR ME

Everything is better now that you are here.
Everything appears a brighter hue.
Everything is so much simpler now.
Everything I owe to you.

Like a peaceful tide you rolled into my life.
Washed away the past and helped me see.
I don’t need to rush this love affair.
Take the time to count to three.

You’re good for me.
Every time I look into your eyes I see
My other half, the one that fits me perfectly,
So naturally, it’s you.
You’re good for me.

You never hold a grudge.
We always reconcile.
Always end the day with I love you.
Somehow I think I’ve always known
I was meant to be with you.

I know it’s right this time.
I know it’s real.
This little voice inside my head keeps telling me
Trust what you feel.

MORE THAN A MAN

He was more than a man.
He was sent down for us.
He gave us His hand and taught us to trust.
If it wasn’t for him, we wouldn’t be here today.
He was more than a man,
and his love lit the way.

He was more than a man.
He was God’s only son.
With blessings for all,
his work is never done.
In spite of our sins, he loves us more everyday.
He was more than a man,
and his love lit the way.

Calling out to his children, listen for him.
He’ll guide the way to salvation’s door.

He was more than a man, a savior for all.
A salve for our wounds, can you hear his call?
Gave hope to mankind
when he rose up again the third day,
He was more than a man, and his love lit the way.
He was more than a man, and his love lit the way.
He was more than a man, his love lights the way.

DANCING ANGEL "NORMITA"

Precious little girl, you were our world.
Your glow warmed our souls.
Blessed Normita, the sweetest senorita.
We couldn’t have asked the Lord for more.

Dancing angel that’s what you are.
Beloved sweetheart, our shining star.
You’re charming the heavens somewhere afar.
Dancing angel that’s what you are.

Daughter, sister, friend and so much more.
Brought a smile to everyone.
Your beauty, grace, that voice – all enchanted us.
You weren’t here for long, but your memory lives on.

We’re so grateful for the years we had.
Without you here it’s just so sad.
Understanding is hard to find.
With prayer and faith, we’ll heal in time.

Dancing angel that’s what you are.
Blessed Normita, our shining star.
You’re charming the heavens somewhere afar.
Dancing angel that’s what you are.
That’s what you are.
