Don’t need to be ten foot tall to be loved by you I don’t need the biggest brain of all to be loved by you Don’t need to be a millionaire to be loved by you I don’t need to have spiky hair to be loved by you Don’t need to have lots of friends to be loved by you Don’t need to be round the bend to be loved by you Don’t need to wear fancy shoes to be loved by you Doesn’t matter If I win or lose I’ll still be loved by you Don’t need to be fast don’t need to be quick Don’t need to be cool don’t need to be slick My Father, you are right here by my side My father, through the day and through the night Don’t need to learn to play guitar to be loved by you Don’t need to have a shiny car to be loved by you Don’t need to be the top in class to be loved by you Doesn’t matter if I finish last, I’ll still be loved by you You are right here by my side

If I Zoom 02:33
If I zoom in a rocket you are there, you are there If I swim the widest ocean you are there, you are there If I ski down a mountain you are there, you are there You’re everywhere, you’re everywhere with me If I climb to the treetops you are there, you are there If I hide in the cellar you are there, you are there If I play in the playground you are there, you are there You’re everywhere, you’re everywhere with me In the darkness you are here In the night you shine just like the sun Make the night like afternoon When you’re around the darkness runs away If I float like a bubble you are there, you are there If I run like a cheetah you are there, you are there If I turn off all the light bulbs you are there, you are there You’re everywhere, you’re everywhere with me When I wake in the morning you are there, you are there When I sleep in the evening you are there, you are there If I wake from a nightmare you are there, you are there You’re everywhere, you’re everywhere with me How precious are your thoughts of me I couldn’t count them if I tried…. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8? No, that’s not enough! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 million? It keeps on going up! 50, 60, 70 billion! It will never stop! There’s no end to your love
3.
There’s nothing that you can’t do You made me, you, him, her, us, them, everyone You’re amazing You’re so wonderful There’s nothing you can’t make You made the sun, stars, moon, sky, fire and lightning
4.
Biggest Fish 03:20
The biggest fish that swims in the ocean The biggest fish that swims in the sea The biggest fish and the biggest bubbles are still smaller than your love for me Your love, the greatest thing in the universe Your love, the greatest thing in the whole wide world The biggest ape that swings from the branches The biggest ape that swings from the trees The biggest ape that eats a banana Is still smaller than your love for me Great, great love Your great love will last forever
5.
Little Light 03:31
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine! Hide it under a bushel? NO! Let it shine Hide it under a bushel? NO! Let it shine Hang my head in fear and shame? No way, gonna let it shine Let my troubles get me down? Not me, gonna let it shine
6.
Your love is like the stars that shine in the night Your love is like rainbows over the hill Your love is like the sun beaming down from the sky Your love is amazing Your love is like water falling over the rocks Your love is like the trees reaching up to the sky Your love is like a mountain when I get to the top Your love is amazing I will praise your name, your love is for free Nothing I have done, a gift you give to me Your love is like a birthday party with friends Your love is like the a great big bag of sweets Your love is like a present on Christmas day Your love is amazing Your love is like the birds that squawk in the trees Your love is like leaves right up to my knees Your love is like a snow-fall-wintery-day Your love is amazing You found me, love me, hold me, close to you
7.
Alive 03:13
Not some old and beardy guy, not someone who never smiles You know how to play and sing because you are alive Not a bedtime story tale slow and boring like a snail You know who I am today because you are alive Alive, living, now, then and forever Alive, living, Jesus Christ eternal Not some relic from the past on a shelf and left to rust You know how to dance and laugh because you are alive Not a ghost or skeleton with no breath or feeling You know how to smile and cry because you are alive Not dusty or far away Out of touch, for yesterday You’re alive, you’re in this place With me now and always
8.
You're not some super villain trying to steal my brain With super big plans and super big guns and totally insane You’re not some 10 eyed monster hiding in my bed With 10 foot tail and 10 foot eyes each one glowing red You’re amazing, wonderful And a true friend to me You’re not a crazy spaceman with a laser beam Who shoots and shouts and runs about and makes some people scream You’re not a hairy creature running from its lair With big sharp teeth and pointed claws who makes me s...s...scared You’re a friend to me You’re a friend to me You’ll never hate and never leave
9.
Neither death nor life nor angels or demons The present or the future or any powers can separate us from the love of God And I thank you, for hearing me And I thank you, for loving me And I thank you for being my friend And I thank you for being my father Separate us? Past or present, near or far can’t separate us Light or darkness, cold or warmth can’t separate us Rain or thunder, storm or sun can’t separate us Nothing can and nothing ever will
10.
I am small, I am weak, I am tiny but you are strong I get scared, I cry sometimes but I know that you are... Here with me, you're not going anywhere You are big, you are strong, you are mighty all the time You will stay by my side and I know that you are... Here with me, you're not going anywhere When I’m scared I’ll turn my face to you, you'll comfort me When I laugh I'll turn my face to you, you'll smile at me When I cry I’ll turn my face to you, you'll hold me in your arms When I dance I’ll turn my face to you...

Tick Tock 02:41
Tick tock goes the clock Round and round the hours go Time for up time for bed Hope it’s nearly dinner time Bing bang goes the bell Morning night and afternoon Seasons come and seasons go Summer, Christmas, Easter time I will change Might grow big and tall But you will never Ever, ever change at all Morning Still the same! Evening Still the same! Winter Still the same! Summer Still the same! Last year Still the same! Next year Still the same! When I’m old Still the same! When I’m young Still the same! Young or old or happy or sad Tall or small or glum or glad You will never ever change Tick tock tick tock tick tock
12.
You made them big Snorting elephant and small Complicated beetle and big Thundering rhino and small Furry little field mouse and big Thousand ton whale and small like me You’ve counted all the hairs on my head (2,3,4) You know me from inside out My friend that never leaves or walks away That’s why we sing and shout You know me much more than anyone Closer and deeper and wider and higher You love me much more than anyone Closer, deeper, wider, higher Closer, deeper, wider higher More than anyone
13.
You don’t see me as a little squirt You don’t see me as a speck of dirt You don’t see me as a slimy slug You don’t see me as a creepy crawly bug You love me and you always will You don’t see me like some hairy peas You don’t see me like a smelly cheese You don’t see me like blue mould bread You don’t see me as a stinky stinky egg You don’t see me like a rhino’s nose You don’t see me like monkey’s toes You don’t see me like a piggy’s ear You don’t see me like a Billy goat’s beard And nothing’s gonna stop that NO NO NO! You’re never gonna leave us, NO NO NO!
14.
Like the day I'll go from dark to light but you'll never change Put my trust in you Holy holy holy Lord Put my faith in you You’ll always keep your word Like the year I'll go from warm to cold but you'll never change I will put my feet on the rock that will not move And you love, love, love, love And that will never change!
