God came down from a mountain top Burning like a silver flame He said " I'm giving You My word, Jesus is His name" He's got it, Yeah baby He's got it He is Jesus the Messiah, My desire God sent His Spirit like a dove Upon the Son the power came Now the blind would see Now the captive would be freed All in Jesus name He's got it, Yeah baby He's got it He is Jesus the Messiah, My desire

Acts 2 v 17 v 39 / Psalm 8 God is raising up an army Made of those who are still young God is lifting up their voices through the weak He'll shame the strong It's been prophesied they will prophesy Gods salvation they will show For the promise is to the children To our daughters to our sons Children of the cross, a shining example Children of the cross are singing His praise Children of the cross are silencing the enemy Children of the Cross are saying the Lord saves

I've seen some strange things in my time things a man shouldn't see Like the magic of Egypt & all it's weird sorcery There's not much can surprise me but I had to take a second look there calling out my name was a talking burning bush It said " Hey this is God here, I've got a job for you to do go down to Egypt see old Pharaoh & tell him his time is nearly through I said wh..wh wh..what me Lord God said ye...ye...ye...yes you your on a mission Moses I am sending you Take my word for it Take my word for it believe me when I say I hear you when you pray Take my word for i will go with you I'll never let you down so go now go now and take my word

Give me a heart of compassion Give a hope for the lost Give me a passion for those who are broken and down Lord I am ready and willing to serve the weak and the young Help me to put into action the words of this song And enable your servants Enable your servants to preach good news, to preach good news We’ll sing the songs of salvation Boldly we’ll speak out your word We’ll let them know by our lives we will show You are Lord We’ll tell them all about Jesus We’ll tell them all about You We’re not ashamed of the Gospel or what it can do And enable your servants Enable your servants to preach good news, to preach good news Enable your servants Enable your servants to preach good news, to preach good news Were moving forward together As one voice boldly proclaim Old and the young will be strong and we’ll lift up your name Onto the streets to the people Every man woman and child And as we go you are with us You’ve given your power And enabled your servants Enabled your servants to preach good news To preach good news Preach good news to the weak and the young Preach good news to the broken and down

Gold was was the colour of that first day Radiant yellow of sunrise They ran in the beauty of all God had made They hue of His love in their eyes Black was the fear that darkened the door Eclipsing the truth of all gone before Obsidian lies blinding all of mankind Colouring our judgement to be colour blind Red was the cross Crimson the blood flowing from Jesus He broke the curse of the Cardinal sin He rose from the dead to free us White was the light pure & pristine Illuminating us making us clean Sin red as scarlet now washed white as snow God showed his true colours and salvation showed The colours of salvation Redeeming the past flowed into one through God's holy son when the colours were nailed to the mast Green is the growth of new birth A springtime of loves celebration An emerald light that commands us to go and troop the colours of salvation Blue is for Heaven our final home Where with flying colours around the royal throne We'll unfurl forever our final hope And worship in colours not even known

God's rubbered out all my mistakes He's erased all my sin He's the ruler of creation No-one measures up to Him His word gets me straight to the point I'm sharpener every day I'm reminded of this from the contents of my pencil case My pencil case My pencil case I'm reminded of this from the contents of my pencil case My pencil case My pencil case I'm reminded of this from the contents of my pencil case I am never stationary Always moving on I've felt the tip of His love Now I know that God's right on His love's compassed about me I'm stapled to His grace I'm reminded of this from the contents Of my pencil case

Out of the mouths of children & babes God has ordained perfect praise Out of the mouths of children & babes God has ordained perfect praise Out of the mouths Out of the mouths Out of the mouths Out of the mouths of children & babes Can you hear what the children are saying Can you hear the song they sing Do you know it is praise they are bringing As they glorify the king God has purified their worship Has ordained holy noise Their melody quietens the enemy God has lifted up their voice

Adam in the garden, It was his earthly home God said" it's not good for man to be alone No helper could be found, though God searched far & wide So He formed Eve from a rib out of Adams side Two are better then One When one falls down the other Can be relied upon Two are better than one Two are better than one This is now flesh of my flesh, this is bone of my bone She shall be called woman, We will build a home God was in the centre, right at the very start Sin within caused God & man to be torn apart Relationships are broken It's niot how it's meant to be God looked down from Heaven From His trinity Said to His son Jesus would you reconcile for me The cost was great He knew His fate The cross of Calvery God in our relationships is the only way Get your house in order, I hear the spirit say Listen to the words that the Lord your God has spoken A cord of 3 strands is not a cord thats easily broken

Moses went down to see Pharaoh He said "let my people go" Moses went down to see Pharaoh all Pharaoh could say was "no" Moses turned his staff to a snake & He turned the Nile into blood Pharaoh be fair oh let my people go Pharaoh said"no", when he shouldn't have Moses went down to see Pharaoh Pharaoh wasn't in a good mood He told Moses to "hop it" & threatened Moses He'd sue Moses gave him a flea in the ear He bugged him got under his skin Pharaoh cried pass the insecticide Moses laughed there we no flies on him Oh Pharaoh let me people go will you ever know God His power will show Oh pharaoh will will you ever learn, have you never heard God always has the last word Moses went down to see Pharaoh Pharaoh was not very pleased He came to boiling point When Egypt got mad cow disease God through Moses was not finished afflicted with terrible sores Pharaoh was to see God is bigger than him and that it never rains it just pours Moses went down to see Pharaoh Hail Pharaoh he said tounge in cheek Locusts are coming to finish the job Devour all there is left to eat Then darkness will cover the land Just because you can not see Your firstborn will die due to your stubborn pride And my people they will be set free

As for me and my house As for me and my family As for me and my children We will serve the Lord As for me and my house As for me and my family As for me and my children We will serve the Lord In this family We are going to do things properly read God's word every day And then we'll try to pray Although we get it wrong We will still carry on Make Jesus number one In this place In this place we're gonna say grace

about

download for a donation.
Jims job is a songwriter of children's praise & worship songs. I have decided for the start of this new venture not to charge but am leaving it it for you to decide what these songs are worth to you personally. For some they will be new. for lots of people these songs will take them back to their childhood.

Enjoy the songs, enjoy the memories

God Bless

Jim

cross rhythms Review 1 Dec 1997. Rated : 9 out of 10
Reviewed by Trevor Kirk

I must confess that my heart sank a little when the latest package from the Greybearded One landed on my mat. More kid's schlock I thought, looking at the angelically-featured little blonde-haired girl on the CD sleeve. But then I remembered that Jim Bailey's previous album got a good review; when I checked in CR33 I found that it got a perfect 10. So I shoved this CD in the player and hoped that I wouldn't be disappointed. I wasn't, not by a long chalk. This is labelled "A Family Album", intended to be enjoyed by kids as well as adults, and this 50 year old was very impressed; 12 songs, over 48 minutes of music and never a dull moment. Every song is different in style, no cringeworthy kids with seriously bad arrangements: Cedarmont this ain't! There's funky rock, acoustic ditto, Jars Of Clay-type indie, Celtic stompers, gentle acoustic ballads, and even the obligatory "silly song" is a delight, 'cos Jim sends himself up something rotten, and also, it's fun! "The ultimate family album" might be marketing hype, but until something better comes along, I'll settle for this. And unlike some other stuff I could mention, this is gonna get played over and over.
