Jesus
Lyrics by Christopher Michael Stevens
Chorus:
Jesus
Everything is yours
All I am oh Lord
All that is
All that ever will exist
Will bow to your great name
Forever you will reign
Spoken Word:
Before anything was there was you
After everything’s gone there’ll be you
Why does it matter so much
Because you
Because you first loved
And your love is enough
For me
But we are talking bout you
Jesus the first and the last
Before anyone ask
Everything in between too
You are the reason I breathe
My reason for being
Because without you
There is no me
But we are talking bout you
The King above all
Who tore down the wall
And conquered the fall
Made my slate whiter than snow
On the 3rd day rose
Sprung as the risen Son
The ultimate triumph
Only to set at the right hand shinning brightly
Like Summer for eternity
And you prepared a place for me
But I’m talking bout you Jesus
Savior
Master
Healer
Redeemer
But the most important nod
You are God
And yet you gave your life in exchange for mine.
Prayer:
I intercede right now for the people listening
That they would come to know you
To know your love and your mercy like I do
To experience your inexplicable joy and peace
To call on your name and find safety
Save them like you saved me
And meet their needs according to your riches in glory
Thank you that you saw humanity
When we were still far and far from worthy Yet you ran to us with arms wide open
You left heaven to bridge the uncrossable chasm caused by sin. And now we have a way home; a way to be together again.
Amen

Samesies (Muhsinah x James Poyser Remix)
Lyrics by Christopher Michael Stevens & Muhsinah Abdul-Karim
Chorus:
I wanna go from where we left off
I just want the same thing or nothing at all
I wanna go from where we left off
We were onto something to rare to have lost
Verse:
I can’t find words to describe
Just how much I miss us, you and I
As natural as a sunset sky
Unparalleled, but undefined
Before we could give love a chance,
We drew a line in the sand
If this is still in your hands,
I’d love if you found me again
Chorus 2:
I wanna go from where we left off
I just want the same thing or nothing at all
What If where I am is where you belong
I wouldn’t want you to take that kind of loss

Beaches
Lyrics by Christopher Michael Stevens
Spoken Word:
I pray
That you can get away
To one of those beaches you talked about
Far from the troubles you sulked about
A place that calms you within with beauty from without
I pray you get to recharge and refill
That your heart will overflow with so much peace that it spills
Over into every part of your life
And to those with whom you share it
Sounds so nice I must admit
But even more than that
I pray your peace doesn’t wait for a sandy shore
A long chair and a straw hat
I pray it doesn’t take long walks and sunsets
I pray you have peace in all landscapes
In all circumstances and situations
May peace be your escape
Your one way ticket for all occasions
The truest version of a staycation
And yes beaches too, but never as a substitute
But because you love to
Enjoy the warm embrace of the sun
And the refreshing waves of the ocean
The grain of the sand under your feet
And the look of a slight tan from sitting in The heat of a day you don’t want to end
Where you can let go and let a deep breath rush in
Take it slow and watch the horizon
Yeah, I love that for you
When you go, I hope you love it too

Hills and Valleys
Lyrics by Christopher Michael Stevens & Shaylah J. Stevens
Verse:
After the rain there’s always sun
Morning will glow when night is done
I know it’s not all that easy to see Sometimes the pain is a necessity
To grow
And change into who you’re becoming
Chorus:
Hills and valleys
Highs and lows
Some say that’s just how life goes
Ups and downs
Fast and slow
Life just has to ebb and flow
Hills and valleys
Highs and lows
Some say that’s just how life goes
Around in circles
With some plateaus
Who knows where life will take you
But here we go
Verse 2:
Finally you can see the light
Morning has come, no longer night Sometimes resolve just takes some time
Continue to breathe and you will be just fine
You’ll see, there’s no end to your possibilities
Chorus:
Hills and valleys
Highs and lows
Some say that’s just how life goes
Ups and downs
Fast and slow
Life just has to ebb and flow
Hills and valleys
Highs and lows
Some say that’s just how life goes
Around in circles
With some plateaus
Who knows where life will take you
But here we go
Vamp:
Here we go
Here we go
Here we go
Here we go
Who knows where life will take you
But here we go

Because It’s Monday
Lyrics by Shaylah J. Stevens
Chorus:
I know your day doesn’t seem to be as bright
Another day can seem like just another fight
But if you give up now you’ll never see the new
Just hold on, hold on, hold on
