“HOPE WOMAN'S SHELTER BENEFIT CONCERT 2023”
New Song by Lisa Gallant Seal
When I was a baby, I knew that I was loved and I didn't know why, and I didn't know by who.
Then I grew to a young child, and I felt faithful but I didn't know why, and I didn't know to who.
Lion of the Tribe of Judah, always faithful, always faithful.
I turned a woman and I felt protected, I felt protected. I didn't know why, and I didn't know by who.
Then I met Jesus, and I knew.
Fish Out of Water by Lisa Gallant Seal
Am I listening? Do I have capacity? I want maturity, who could love the likes of me?
I'm glistening, because I know I'm a fish out of water, His young bird falling from a tree.
Why is it that I do the things that I don't want to do? I suffer so because I want to be obedient, it's true.
Just when I think I walk the line, the line turns into two, I'm a sinner, I have a double mind,
but His love continues to …
take my heart from stone to clay, He gives me hope, He leads the way, humbles me like no one can, and I'm back into His arms.
Am I listening? Do I have capacity? I want maturity, who could love the likes of me?
I'm glistening, because I know I'm a fish out of water, His young bird falling from a tree.
He talks to me, I want to hear His voice inside my head, I'll never tire of
His words of truth and life and fire. In the world I see the tears, the sweat and all the blood.
I'm running faster to my destiny, it's to my Father's love! Yet I still tread the water's waves
I dream the dreams, I crave the craves. I'm a sinner and I've been set free.
Only He can have the best of me!
Am I listening? Do I have capacity? I want maturity, who could love the likes of me?
I'm glistening, because I know I'm a fish out of water, His young bird falling from a tree.
ooh, oh, ooh, just a little fish out of water, ooh, yeah, yeah yeah, I'm just a little fish!
Why is it that I do the things that I don't want to do? I suffer so because I want to be obedient, it's true.
Just when I think I walk the line, the line turns into two, I'm a sinner, I have a double mind,
but His love continues, continues, and continues.
I Wrote it in a Song by Lisa Gallant Seal
Why do I resist You so?
You prove to be wise when it all unfolds.
I have a hard time I’ve been told; I’ve been told by You.
The truth is, I always have a hard time!
I’m changing my direction; I wrote it in a song
I’m looking for a new way, what took my heart so long?
It used to be an attraction, that “bad man” appeal.
All caught up in reaction of how I tend to feel.
The bottle was my friend, I’d been told, but since You I know that it ain’t true.
I’m changing my direction; I wrote it in a song
I’m looking for a new way, what took my heart so long?
It doesn’t really matter how I feel
because You always tell the truth, and the truth is real
there is one thing that I know, and that is sometimes I just don’t know
I’m changing my direction; I wrote it in a song
I’m looking for a new way, what took my heart so long? Oh, I’m changing!
I’m changing my direction; I wrote it in a song
I’m looking for a new way, what took my heart so long?
Oh, what took me so long? What took me so long?
Changing my direction.
Changing Direction by Lisa Gallant Seal
My love for You grows stronger, stronger every day.
I find that it's all true, everything that You say.
To think that all I have to do is kneel down and ask You.
I'm changing my direction; I walk toward the Way.
Yeah. I'm changing my direction!
Looking back, I sit on hindsight, every inch of me is Yours.
I find myself rejecting things that I think I want more of.
Sin is sin how deep I'm in, I'm begging for You Lord,
take me, change me, squeeze me through that skinny door!
I'm changing my direction, rearranging my mind. I leave behind good friends of mine
looking toward the resurrection, the Truth, the Way, You're the Lion of the Tribe.
Holy Spirit You're my driver, I want to throw away the key.
With You I can survive her, I can get through anything.
Lead me in and close the door, surround me with Your word and more,
I'm afraid 'cause I'm not worthy but You keep telling me I free!
I'm changing my direction, rearranging my mind. I leave behind good friends of mine
looking toward the resurrection, the Truth, the Way, You're the Lion of the Tribe.
I'm changing my direction, I ‘m changing my direction, I’m changing my direction. I'm changing my direction, yeah, oh Yeah!
I'm changing my direction, rearranging my mind. I leave behind good friends of mine
looking toward the resurrection, the Truth, the Way, You're the Lion of the Tribe.
Holy Roller by Lisa Gallant Seal
I’m just a holy roller, all my old friends they can’t see me.
They can understand enough and tell me not to be so tough.
“Relax, wind down, have a drink, hang around.
We’ll laugh and we’ll dance. The world is at your fingers!”
I’ve been around and never knew the awesome love that comes from You.
How can I explain to them where I am?
They’re lost, I’m found. My world is You; their world is round.
They’re caught and I’m free. Is it meant to be?
Help, help help me, Lord I need Your Word.
Help help help me, tell them what I heard.
Help, help, help me, show them who I am.
Help, help help me, make them understand!
I'm just a holy roller rolling, I'm just a holy roller, rolling.
I'm just a holy roller rolling, rolling down, not such a wide, wide road.
Now that I am on the path,
I know I won’t receive Your wrath.
You don’t need perfection, there’s only One, there’s only One.
I’m here right now. Use me Lord, show me how.
I'm Yours I vow, I’m on my knees!
Help, help help me, Lord I need Your Word.
Help help help me, tell them what I heard.
Help, help, help me, show them who I am.
Help, help help me, make them understand!
I'm just a holy roller rolling, I'm just a holy roller, rolling.
I'm just a holy roller rolling, rolling down, not such a wide, wide road.
I Believe by Lisa Gallant Seal
I believe in a lot of things, a lot of things I believe in.
Like Christ once walked the earth and He will soon be back again.
And the longshore man can cry like a baby, and a mean politician can change his mind.
I believe in simple things, like what one kiss from you would bring
and walking in the great outdoors in the early spring
The healing sound of a young child laughing in the distance or watching a sick man get well through persistence
I believe, ya it's a simple, simple thing,
I believe in Him, I believe!
And I will follow, I believe in Him, I believe!
I believe in direction, direct direction from one’s heart
And whatever comes easy is God given and where we’re supposed to start
There’s nothing wrong with a dreamer, or thinking real good thoughts
I could follow my shadow, but I think not!
I believe, ya it's a simple, simple thing,
I believe in Him, I believe!
And I will follow, I believe in Him, I believe!
Come on, you gotta believe, come on, come on now. You gotta believe, believe, believe!
I believe that the unbeliever comes from a very scary place of darkness and of fear
Come on take my hand, I can feel you shaking
I’ll help you what I can, all about His love!
City Lights by Lisa Gallant Seal
City Lights are pretty, watching them through the window
I don't like the city much, except for the people who walk around the streets and stuff
they're the ones who teach me … as long as I want to hear.
Do you know your eyes are beautiful when I'm watching them through My eyes.
I can see anything that I want to see and when you close them and feel a tear behind them
I hope you know that you can come to Me.
Everything is easy, if that's the way you want it
and things can be really hard too. Whatever you are feeling, take it and you feel it
cause the feeling will be over real soon. Making room for more feelings.
Once I saw a mother somewhere caressing her sweet baby.
Something deep inside got touched, I knew it was something that I missed.
I yearned for soft arms around me, holding me caressing me
telling me whatever I do, it's gonna be alright
Once I saw the sun rise, I pretended I was an Indian, I took dirt and I smelled it
I was sitting on wet dew. I felt a power deep within me, one I wanted to capture
and I looked toward the sun and then I knew.
Everything is easy, if that's the way you want it
and things can be really hard too. Whatever you are feeling, take it and you feel it
cause the feeling will be over real soon. Making room for more feelings.
once I saw the sunrise, I pretended I was an Indian ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Heavens Way by Lisa Gallant Seal
Stars can’t refuse to shine, the ocean moves in perfect time
Babies cry just to get their way;
new love dies but true love stays
Heaven’s gonna have its way
A trusting heart, suspicious mind, makes up part of the humankind
Just look in the mirror at your own design, there aint’ no denying
Heaven’s gonna have its way Heaven’s gonna have its way … the war is over
Heaven’s gonna have its way, yeah, Heaven’s gonna have its way
Well what about all the hate in the world, the war the sickness and the famine?
You say why do bad things happen to little girls and little boys?
Well, let’s examine.
There once was an angel who had it all and in his pride, he did wallow
Out of the Heavens he began to fall with a legion of angels, they followed
But God says my people ain’t no puppets on a string, they’ll love me with all their hearts, and they’ll sing
Heaven’s gonna have its way Heaven’s gonna have its way, Jesus has won it!
Heaven’s gonna have its way, yeah, Heaven’s gonna have its way
Honey, don’t you worry if you don’t get what I’m saying,
get down on your knees and start speaking and praying
Ask Him to show you His love for you now, repent of your sins, say it out loud
Who’s gonna hear you except the One Who's beside you,
there is nothing to fear with His Spirit to guide you!
Heaven’s gonna have its way Heaven’s gonna have its way, Jesus has won it!
Heaven’s gonna have its way, yeah, Heaven’s gonna have its way
Have its way … have its way
Flower by Lisa Gallant Seal
I’m a flower Lord, sprouting from the ground.
I’m a flower Lord and I'm sprouting.
I don’t have my stem
and I don’t have my peddles
But I know I will.
Jesus, I love you like no other, Jesus You’re my Father, You’re my cover.
I’m nothin’ but a little tumbleweed blowing across the desert.
I need You Lord, pick me up, pick me up
I’m a blade of grass blowing in the wind, I’m a blade of grass, I’m blowing
I stand here brothers I know we're coming home, I know we will.
Jesus, I love you like no other, Jesus You’re my Father, You’re my cover.
I’m nothin’ but a little tumbleweed blowing across the desert.
I need You Lord, pick me up, pick me up
I’m a firefly Lord, shining in the darkness. I’m a firefly Lord and I’m shining
Let me not be afraid to shine my light to others and to let Your wind
lift my wings and take me home!
Jesus, I love you like no other, Jesus You’re my Father, You’re my cover.
I’m nothin’ but a little tumbleweed blowing across the desert.
I need You Lord, pick me up, pick me up
Raye by Lisa Gallant Seal
Just a sinner in a sinner's body, in a sinner's world, in a sinner's mind.
I don't expect you to understand, you got the television turned on all the time.
Take a chance, read a page, the Book of John might start your cravin'.
I don't know what to say, you wouldn't believe me anyway.
Raye, you could be a ray of light if you were to ch ch ch ch change your appitite.
Raye, you could be a ray of light, if you were only willing to stand up right.
Hey joy seeker, could you get any weaker, layin' your coat down for your enemy?
You can't change my mind. it's closed tight this time, nobody's gonna get me.
Won't you tell me, tell me your secret, tell me your story, tell me your life?
Won't you tell me, so I can keep it wrapped in my anger, wrapped in my strife!
Raye, you could be a ray of light if you were to ch ch ch ch change your appetite.
Raye, you could be a ray of light, if you were only willing to stand up right.
Raye, you could be a ray of light, just let go, don't try to fight it.
Raye, you could be a ray of light, just let go, let God ignite it.
Don't look back, don't worry about the next day, what's that crack?
Raye what did you say, what did you say?
Raye, you could be a ray of light if you were to ch ch ch ch change your appetite.
Raye, you could be a ray of light, if you were only willing to stand up right.
Raye, you could be a ray of light, just let go, don't try to fight it.
Raye, you could be a ray of light, just let go, let God ignite it.
Just a sinner in a sinner's body, in a sinner's world, in a sinner's mind.
Cotton Candy Wind by Lisa Gallant Seal
I feel that cotton candy wind up against my face again
Is it just another color stroke across my pages?
I sit in expectation, like any child, full and wild
I'm waiting for more fruit to fall, sweet, sweet fragrance.
I am Your daughter!
I am a princess riding, my eyes are on You
And they are bound to water, when I think of the things I cannot see
My life is not in order, I give it all to You my King
I'm restless and I'm wanting, I give it all to You my King
I wanna see the things I cannot see
I want to feel my angel surrounding me, glory to glory
Lift me higher!
My leg is pressed up against the saddle. My horse is strong, and he has no fear
I'm Your warrior in battle, but teach me how to meet you here
I'm restless and I'm wanting, teach me how to meet You here
I wanna see the things I cannot see
I want to feel Your angel surrounding me, glory to glory
Lift me higher!
I feel that cotton candy wind, it's up against my face again
is it just another color stroke across my pages, across my pages
across my pages
