Little Ol' Me

Music and lyrics by Luke Powell

Calling all seekers 

of life, love and truth

all searching for riches 

or eternal youth

Calling all children 

and women and men

come drink from His hand 

and you’ll not thirst again

Life is so precious, 

don’t waste one more day    

Come follow the One

the truth and the life and the way

This is your moment

this is your time  

He’s reaching out to you, 

saying “put your hand into Mine”

What if tomorrow 

is only one day too late?  

This is your moment 

Jesus Christ is your fate

No matter what you have 

thought, said or done,

no matter what kind of past 

you’ve come from

He’s willing to save you 

oh friend this is true!

He’s willing to take you 

and make you brand new

All you have to do 

is draw near and receive

Lay down all your doubts, oh my friend just believe!

CHORUS

  Music and lyrics by Richard Pratt

All the kings and queens 

and their horses and their men

All the worldly leaders 

and all the presidents

All the rich and powerful 

and all the posh elite

Will God even notice little ol’ me?

I work hard to make a living, 

don't wanna land up on the street

I work my fingers to the bone 

to try and make ends meet 

But there are so many 

who are so much more in need

Will God even notice little ol' me

But the ways of God are not of man,

He sees things differently 

He came to earth as one of us 

and gave His life for me

His love heals my brokenness, 

His Word lights my path 

His blood has made me clean 

and I'm pardoned from His wrath 

He rose from the grave 

and gave me life eternally

He gave His Spirit to me 

and set my spirit free 

He began a work in me 

that He'll see through to the end 

So watch this space 

cos my God's gonna make...

Something great out of little ol' me

I don't see myself as big. 

I'm just another nobody

I wouldn't face Goliath 

even with an RPG

I'm not an Einstein or a Plato 

or a Socrates

I don't feel brave, I don't feel smart, 

I'm just little ol' me

But struggles don’t seem so bad 

and troubles even less

'cause God is always with me 

even when I’m in distress

There always will be problems 

and trials will follow me

They’ll make me strong 

'cause God’s workin’ on little ol' me

Chorus

But the ways of God are not of man. 

He has a different view

He came to earth as one of us 

and gave His life for you

His love will heal your brokenness. His Word will light your path

His blood will make you clean and you’ll be pardoned from His wrath 

He rose from the dead 

to give you life eternally 

He'll give His Spirit to you 

and will set your spirit free 

He'll start a work in you 

and He will see it through 

So watch this space 

cos my God’s gonna make 

Something great out of little ol' you

Little ol’ you, little ol’ you

and little ol’ me

Music and lyrics by Luke Powell

There's a whole lotta love, love, love

raining down on me

There's a whole lotta joy, joy, joy

shining out from me

Cos I've met the One

who washed me clean as can be

God's only Son

He set this little heart free

There's a whole lot of peace, peace, peace 

that He's given to me

And a whole lotta hope, hope, hope

He's giving out through me

I'll never be the same

cos He has set me apart

The name above all names

and the King of my heart

I'll give Him all the glory

I'll give Him all the praise

I'll give Him all the glory

until the end of my days

I'll sing a hallelujah

I'm gonna shout "amen!"

I'll sing a hallelujah, again and again and again and again and again and again

There's a whole of grace, grace, grace

available for you

A new type of life, life, life

when the Saviour calls you

So fall on your knees

and come along for the ride

He guarantees

to never leave Your side

Let's give Him all the glory

let's give Him all the praise

Let's give Him all the glory

until the end of our days

Let's sing a hallelujah

let's shout "amen!"

Let's sing a hallelujah, again and again and again and again

Chorus 2

Watch us perform this song here

Words and music by Luke Powell

  I been working really hard 

trying to find out what I'm worth

I been searching for a way 

to get by on planet earth

We all know that times are tough, 

we're just trying to survive

If I could have a little more, 

Lord I'll finally have arrived

I don't wanna buy the lie, 

I don't wanna serve two masters

I don't wanna blow it all 

on a happy-ever-after

I'm gonna turn myself around, 

yeah I'm gonna change my ways

Every blessing that I get 

I'm gonna turn it back to praise

Heal my desires, heal my greed

I may not have much 

but I have all that I need

It all belongs to You

It all belongs to You 

It all belongs to You

It aint mine

Lord I know that this is true, 

yes it's what I do believe

That it truly is more blessed 

to give than to receive

Father take my heart and soul,

take my every cent

When I surrender all control,

I can finally be content

Pre chorus

CHORUS

Lord I'll put my trust in You, 

even though the times are tough

I know You'll take care of my needs, 

I know I'll always have enough

Now I've come to see the light, 

yes I know that this is true

That all the riches in the world 

don't come close to loving You

CHORUS

Words and music by Luke Powell

In a sea of commotion... 

chaos all around

Pushing on through the downpour... 

waiting to be found

Father why are you silent?... 

When will I hear Your voice?

Father why don’t you step in?... 

And make my heart rejoice?

I trust in You... I trust in You

So every morning I will say 

that You are glorious

Nothing on earth can compare

And when the storms come 

I’ll still say that You are glorious

For I know that You meet me there

I know that You meet me there

What marvelous master... 

what a wonderful guide

What a powerful stronghold... 

it’s in You I hide

I trust in You... I trust in You

CHORUS

You meet me there 

You meet me there 

You meet me there 

Watch us perform this song here

 Words and music by Richard Pratt

Here I am again

I'm trying hard to pray

I'm down on my knees

but I don't know what to say

Forgive me

is all that comes to mind

Why did I do these things?

Why have I been so blind?

Another long, long road

to another dead-end street

Another painful journey

to another broken dream

Searching for something

that I can never reach

I realize through the rain

it's You I really need

Broken: is how I come to You

Broken: I give everything to You

Broken: I'm crying in the rain

Broken: it is the only way

Broken: is how I am saved 

The good work that You started

is growing inside me

Every brand new day

I can feel Your love for me

I know I'll let You down

but when I'm weak You are strong

The power of Your Spirit

helps me carry on

The road is long and hard

but now You walk with me

And when I'm weak and weary

Your Spirit strengthens me

I know I'll fall again

but Your love restores me

I cling to Your mercy

that has set me free

 CHORUS 

Broken: You gave Yourself for me

Broken: is how You died to set me free

Broken: then You rose from the grave

When You were broken that's how I was saved

 CHORUS 

 Words and music by Richard Pratt

  How can I say I love You...

when I do the things I do? 

How can I say I love You...

when I say the things I say? 

How can I say I love you... 

when I turn my back on You? 

But it’s not about how I love You... 

it’s about how You love me 

How can I say I love You... 

when I don’t obey Your Word?

How can I say I love You... 

when I just don’t want to see? 

How can I say I love You... 

when I just never learn? 

But it’s not about how I love You... 

it’s about how You love me

Your love is so much greater... 

than anything in me

You hung on a cross... 

to set this captive free 

You filled me with Your Spirit... 

that works inside of me 

It’s not about how I love You... 

it’s about how You love me 

I really try to love You... 

when I think about the cross

I really try to love You... 

because I know how much it has cost

I really try to love You... 

‘cause You set this captive free

But it’s not about how I love You... 

it’s about how You love me

CHORUS

  Words and music by Luke Powell

I've been here before

My pride on the table

my heart on my sleeve

More and more

I just don't feel able

to live as You please

My spirit's defeated

and my heart is torn

As I see just how sinful I am 

And I have to wonder

just where I went wrong

Lord how can I explain

The things that I do

that dishonour your name

Lord please change me within

cos I don't know how

to get over this sin

I don't know how to get over

this sin

I've been here before

I see how you struggle

each day just the same

More and more

I see you seek pleasure

far apart from My name

And it’s no wonder your heart is so torn

When you're eating

the sand of the world

When right before you

my water runs deep

Child how can I explain

My grace and my mercy

have cleansed you again

Child my Holy Spirit’s within

You have all you need

to get over this sin

You have all you need

to get over this sin

You have all you need to get over this sin

 Words and music by Luke Powell and Richard Pratt

How long, Lord?

Will you forget me forever?

How long will you hide your face from me?

How long must I wrestle with my thoughts

And day after day have sorrow in my heart?

How long

will my enemy triumph over me?

(repeat)

Look on me and answer, Lord my God.

Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,

and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,”

and my foes will rejoice when I fall

How long

will my enemy triumph over me?

(repeat)

How long

will my enemy triumph over me?

(repeat)

But I trust in your unfailing love

My heart rejoices in Your salvation

I will sing the Lord’s praise

For He has been good to me

Yes I trust in your unfailing love

My heart rejoices in Your salvation

I will sing the Lord’s praise

For He has been good to me

 Words and music by Luke Powell

I am empty, I’ve nothing left inside

All the sin and the sickness

I’ve been trying to hide

Father You’ve seen it all

and You cherish me still

it's so unfair

All the pain I have caused,

all the sin I have seen

The empty words I have spoken,

the promises I didn’t keep

Father You’ve seen it all

and You cherish me still

it's so unfair

God of heaven oh so pure,

can I really be so sure

How can You love me,

when You are oh so beautiful

God of mercy please forgive

this broken life I chose to live

I don’t deserve the love You give

but You give it anyway

it’s so unfair

He was perfect, He’d only love inside

He healed all sin and all sickness

He turned the darkness to light

Father You saw it all

and You abandoned Him still

it's so unfair

He was cruelly betrayed

by the kiss of a friend

He was beaten and scourged

and led to death in the end

Father You saw it all

and You abandoned Him still

it's so unfair

God of heaven can it be,

You gave Your perfect Son for me

He died at Calvary,

to make Your children beautiful

God of mercy please forgive

this broken life I chose to live

I don’t deserve the love You give

but You give it anyway,

It’s so unfair 

  Words and music by Richard Pratt

The Lord is my Shepherd;

I shall not want

He makes me down to lie

in pastures green

He leads me by still waters

And restores my soul again

He leads me in the paths of righteousness 

For His own name's sake

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I will fear no evil for You are with me

Your rod and Your staff

they comfort me

You prepare a table before me

in the presence of my enemies

You anoint my head with oil

my cup overflows

Surely goodness and mercy

shall follow me all the days of my life

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever, and ever

Forever, and ever

Words and music by Richard Pratt

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

Praise God in His sanctuary

praise Him in His mighty heavens

Praise Him for His mighty deeds

praise Him according to His excellent greatness

Praise Him with trumpet sound

Praise Him with lute and harp

Praise Him with tambourine and dance

Praise Him with strings and pipe

Praise Him with sounding cymbals 

Praise Him with loud crashing cymbals 

(repeat)
