Jesus Loves This Little Light

Note: We pulled this song down off the net. There's a better version, we just have to polish it.
Dan

We called it
Jesus Loves This Little Light:

gonna live like a christian should
gonna let it shine
gonna be sold out for good
gonna let it shine
gonna rock this song like Jesus would
i'm gonna let it shine
Chorus
didn't give me this light to hide
i'm gonna let it shine
for our sins He was crucified
i'm gonna let it shine
with His arms stretched open wide
i'm gonna let it shine
Chorus
on the 3rd day He left the grave
i'm gonna let it shine
by His blood our souls are saved
i'm gonna let it shine
Now you got a choice to make
Are YOU gonna let it shine?
Chorus

Jesus loves me! This I know,
For the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong;
They are weak, but He is strong.
Chorus:
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.

Jesus loves me! This I know,
As He loved so long ago,
Taking little ones on His knee,
Saying, “Let the Children come to Me.”
Chorus
Jesus loves me! He who died
Heaven’s gate to open wide;
He will wash away my sin,
Let His little child come in.
Chorus
Jesus loves me! He will stay
Close beside me all the way;
My King bled and died for me,
the day He hung on Calvary.

Jesus loves me! God's own Son
Over sin the victory won.
When I die, saved by His grace,
Gonna see Him face to face.
Chorus

By His Hands

This song is a compilation of what we originally thought were 2 songs, because David was feeling led to write at the same time as me.  Singing them at the same time didn't make sense, and so we started writing two separate songs.  It wasn't coming together, until we decided to again sing together in the same song.  Within an hour the rest of the song was written.  The next day we added the scripture verse and began laying down the tracks.

The song is about not forgetting the Power of our God, how He formed us, and what Jesus gave us. For those who've never accepted His call, recognize His gift. Just the like the thief that died on the cross next to Him.  That man's time was up.  He made the choice to accept Christ in those final moments, and there was Jesus, nails in his hands and feet, suffering the worst death known to man.... and He was encouraging the sinner.  Bringing the light.  Saving him.  Talking about paradise.  How beautiful is His love for us, that even while we were killing Him, Jesus was lifting us up?

Here are the Lyrics:


the One who pushed the mountains up
the One who filled the sea
the same hands that molded you
were nailed on Calvary.

do you think the things you've done
you think they're bigger than the Son?
He paid for every sin
and every sin there's been since then!

By His hands we're saved
He left the grave
so you and I would live forever.
Sent your only Son
to die for us.
To Your name be the Glory.

whoever calls on the name
of the Lord shall be saved
just like the man who sinned
hangin' on the cross next to Him,
with his arms stretched open wide,
talking about paradise
with the one and only Jesus Christ.

we've all sinned and fall short of
The Glory of God Above
There is not one of us
Righteous enough.

He stands at the door and knocks
do you hear His voice
break the chains, break the locks
You gotta make your choice

By His hands we're saved
He left the grave
so you and I would live forever.
Sent His only Son
to die for us.
To Your name be the Glory.

Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. (Joh 20:30-31)

whoever calls on the name
of the Lord shall be saved
just like the man who sinned
hangin' on the cross next to Him,
with his arms stretched wide,
talking about paradise
with the one and only Jesus Christ.

    
the One who pushed the mountains up
the One who filled the sea
the hands they nailed on Calvary.....
molded you and me.

Rough Lumber Music Mixdown

We're putting out a request for anyone who might know someone willing to donate their time to professionally mix tracks.  We've got the music and the Adobe Audition program, but the truth is none of us went to school for mastering/mixing.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. We just want to give our best.
