Remember The Lord

Words and Music by Colin Buchanan. © 1996 Rondor Music (Aust)

1. If you stub your toe when you get out of bed
And you slip in the shower and knock your head
If you miss your breaky and your bike tyre’s flat
If the dog eats your lunch
and you step on the cat...

Chorus
Remember the Lord, Oh-oh!
Remember that he is in control
Remember the Lord Oh-oh!
He’s watching his children
He cares, Oh-oh!
Remember the Lord, Oh-oh! Oh-oh!

2. If you get to school about half hour late
And the principal meets you at the gate
If you can't remember one plus two
And you're busted for something
that you didn't do ... CHORUS

3. If your Dad is crusty and your Mum's in a flap
And you spill the custard in your sister's lap
If you're sent to bed and you don't know why
And you can't get to sleep
and you just want to cry ... CHORUS

4. If you're hitting the skids
and you're up the creek
If you're down-and-out and things look bleak
If you're in the pits and you're out for a duck
If you're long in the tooth and short of a buck

Chorus
Remember the Lord, Oh-oh!
Remember that he is in control
Remember the Lord Oh-oh!
He’s watching his children
He cares, Oh-oh!
Remember the Lord, Oh-oh! Oh-oh!

Down by the river
Sittin’ on a great big rock

Peace with God.

But it’s all going to fade away
But you’ll never, ever feel like you’ve got

Because it’s all going to fade away
The trickiest toys that money can buy
Are all going to fade away

Because the greatest treasure...

2. What if the world makes you a star!
It’s all going to fade away
The biggest house and the flashiest car!
They’re all going to fade away
Earthly treasure’s like the morning mist
Are all going to fade away.

Because the greatest treasure
in the whole wide world is
Peace with God.
Yeah, the greatest treasure

It’s the only treasure that will never fade
Even death can’t take it away.

The Old Black Crow

Words and Music by Colin Buchanan. © 1996 Rondor Music (Aust)

1. There’s an old black crow
Sitting in the gum tree
He’s plump and he’s well-fed
A beetle here, a cicada there
Is the black crow’s daily bread
I think it should be said...

Chorus
There’s a Lord who cares for the old black crow
The wombat, the gekko and the kangaroo
And one thing’s sure, we are worth much more
To the God who cares for people too!

2. Mrs Wombat digs herself a little burrow
To keep her warm and dry
It's her home sweet home
That's she's made her own
Better than money can buy
And here's the reason why... CHORUS

3. The gekko lives in the sands of the desert
Where it's very dry and hot
He's small and frail with a stumpy tail
But hungry he is not
All he needs he's got ... CHORUS

4. The Lord cares, too, for the kangaroo
I think we all can see
That worth much more to the living Lord
Is you and you and me
And you and you and me ...

Chorus
There’s a Lord who cares for the old black crow
The wombat, the gekko and the kangaroo
And one thing’s sure, we are worth much more
To the God who cares for people too!

Passing Through

And tease you
With tasty lies
This world will try to trick you
Then kick you
Between the eyes

Will never walk alone

Passing through

But trying
To take you down
The world is on a deadline
And its time
Is running out..

All God’s children
Will never walk alone
All God’s children
Will soon be heading home...

3. Fix your eyes on Jesus
He frees us
From death and sin
And when this world is long gone
We’ll live on
To worship Him

All God’s children
Will never walk alone
All God’s children

Will soon be heading home

You Can Tell The Lord That You Love Him

" Words and Music by Colin Buchanan © 1998 Rondor Music (Aust)

You can tell the Lord that you love him anytime
You can tell the Lord that you need him anytime
Thank him for his love and care
Shoot him up an arrow prayer
You can tell the Lord that you love him anytime

When you’re chasin’ your mates all over the

You can talk to the Lord of all.

You can tell the Lord...

2. When you’re happy as Larry, when you’re
full of joy
When you’re blown out by the view
Give thanks to the God who’s showered his
blessings
Showered his blessings on you, and you, and
you, and...

Glory To God In The Highest

Colin Buchanan © 2005 Universal Music

1. Augustus Caesar boss of the Romans
Wanted to know how his empire’s going
So Mary and Joseph hit the road had to go down
Bethlehem coz that Jo's own home town
No choice gotta head that way now
Even though Mary has a baby any day now

CHORUS
Glory to God in the highest
In the highest give glory to God

2. Now Joseph he was in the line of David
That's family it means they're related
When they finally get into Bethlehem
Well that inn's so full there's no room for them
They're out on the street
And time has come
For the birth of Mary's firstborn Son

3. So there in the dust and miles from home
The Son of God Most High is born
Mary wraps her baby in bits of cloth
And lies him in a manger that's an animal trough
A dusty dirty lonely birth
But Jesus Lord of heaven and earth

4. The shepherds out in the fields nearby
See the glory of the Lord shine in the sky
And they're filled with terror but the angel say
“Good news! Great joy! For born today
In the town of David Christ the Saviour
You'll find a baby lying in a manger”

5. Right then the shepherds see the sky explode
Angels singing in a heavenly host
“Glory to God and peace to men
when God's good favour rests on them”
The angels leave and the shepherds agree
“Let’s go to Bethlehem and see”

6. Well the shepherds saw Jesus and they spread the word
Amazing everyone who heard
Mary treasured all the wondrous things
A virgin’s child the King of Kings
God's promised Son is the hope of men
Born that day in Bethlehem

Jesus Saves! (To the tune of "Jingle Bells")

Words and music arranged by Colin Buchanan © 2004 RONDOR MUSIC (AUST.)

1. The world belongs to God
He spoke and there it was
Though it was very good
It all went bad because
The man that God had made
And the woman there with him
Turned their back on God to get
A deadly taste of sin (But)

CHORUS
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Jesus is the Way
Jesus is the Saviour
You can come to Him today - Hey!
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
People from their sin
You will find forgiveness
When you put your trust in Him

2. Well if you look around
You’ll see how sin has spread
Turning light to dark
And living things to dead
But God still rules the world
He always had a plan
To send his Son to save us
In the likeness of a man

CHORUS

3. Well if you come to God
(You still have time you know)
He will wash your sinful heart
And make it white as snow
Come taste eternal life
And death will have no sting
All who trust in Jesus are

The children of the King

King of Christmas

Colin Buchanan © 2005 Universal Music

1. Let the Christmas tree remind you of
The one who trusts the Lord
Who walks the path of godliness
And loves to hear God's word
Pray that as you grow up
That's just how you will be
Standing tall for Jesus
Like the Christmas tree

Let your love show ho! ho!
Let your faith grow ho! ho!
That everyone will know
Christ the King of Christmas

Spotted by the wise men who travelled from afar
They gave Jesus all their treasures
And they worshiped him that night
Let your worship of King Jesus shine like
fairy lights

Of God's amazing grace
Red–the blood of Jesus
As he suffered in our place
White–the full forgiveness
Won as Jesus rose again
You can tell your friends the gospel
With a candy cane

CHORUS
Let your love show ho! ho!
Let your faith grow ho! ho!
That everyone will know
Christ the King of Christmas

Fill your heart with praise
To God for all his goodness
Shown in O so many ways
That everyday in everyway
We'd be completely his
Give your life to Jesus as a

Bigger Than Space

Words & Music by Colin Buchanan ©2010 Universal Music (Aust.)

Have you looked up in the night sky
And seen the milky way
The twinkling stars are
Far far far far far far far away

But God’s grace
Is bigger than space
His love keeps going
On and on and on
God’s grace
Is bigger than space
His love for his friends never ends
It goes on and on and on............

If you buy a giant telescope
And have a good look through it
You’ll never count the stars
Cause there’s too
Many there to do it

Space is even bigger
Than the mountains
Or the sea
It’s a whopper
It’s a giamungus
It’s as huge as huge can be

Real Hope

Words and Music by Colin Buchanan © 2000 Rondor Music (Aust)

1. It was a real birth in real stable
In a real dusty Judean town
And a real mother nursed her precious baby
And a bunch of wide-eyed shepherds gathered
round
And real angles sang “Glory!”
For real hope was born that day.

Chorus
I bet all I have on Jesus
I will throw myself on him
For the one who died a real death, for real sin
I bet all I have on Jesus
And throughout eternity
I will marvel at the real hope
That my Saviour won for me

2. It was a real life
He had real friends
He walked shoulder to shoulder with the lost
He wept real tears
For the fallen ones
And he anguished over sin's dreadful cost
And on a real cross he cried, "Forgive them!"
As his real life drained away.

Chorus

3. I have real fears
I do real sin
And I hurt the ones I cherish and adore
But the real mercy
Of the true God
Sees the filthy fallen purchased and restored
And I cry "My God - O fill me
With a heart completely yours!"

Chorus
