A KIND WORD- A LOVE SO TRUE- A SONG OF LOVE-
A WISH FOR YOU-
ALL I NEED TO KNOW
“A KIND WORD” by Jeff Leslie
1981
Father, loving Father, hear me as I pray
Grant me grace with every single word I say
Your heart must be broken from words You hear spoken
by Your own child
When I speak before thinking not knowing the harm it can bring
Remind me the reason each word must be seasoned
to give You glory
For loving Your people is how I show love to my King
A kind word could change a life, Lord
Just a kind word could change a life today
Father, loving Father, hear me as I pray
Grant me grace with every single word I say
Make my heart still so that I may be willing
to hear Your Spirit
Speaking the words that I know in my heart I should say
How great the relief and how strong the belief
is the one who knows You
And shows You by taking Your love just to give it away
A kind word could change a life, Lord
A kind word could change a life
Just a kind word could change a life, Lord
A kind word could change a life today
“A LOVE SO TRUE”
by Jeff Leslie ca. 1978
Like the timeless waves on an endless shore
My sins are washed away
Though like countless sands on the ocean floor
They're lost with every wave
When the sun goes down, if my faith is poor
He makes a brand new day
When my best of friends seem to care no more
My Lord is there to stay
Like the freshness felt from a summer rain
He has cleansed my soul
He has made me pure and not left a stain
Now I'll never grow old
Although I did wrong, He received the pain
Through death His love overflowed
But He did not give in for He lives again
And one day He's calling me home
And the love that gives its life for you
Is best by far, I believe
And you can find this love so true
Between my Saviour and me
When my ship is tossed from a raging sea
He'll guide me safely through
Though the wind is strong and my sails are weak
His grace will keep me true
Everytime I pray, every word I speak
He knows before I do
And He's taking care of my every need
Before my prayer is through
And all these things that He does for me
My Lord can do for you.
And the love that gives its life for you
Is best by far, I believe
And you can find this love so true
Between my Saviour and me
“A SONG OF LOVE” by Jeff Leslie 9/27/96
I have found a gift outside my window
In the morning at the dawning of each day
It’s the picture of a song that plays inside me
And carries me as I go on my way
There’s a silence in the sunrise that speaks volumes in my heart
In a language that’s been written on the wind
It’s the words of God’s creation in the morning as it starts
In a song of love and life that never ends
The message is a manifested secret
That is only understood within the soul
And everyone who knows his Lord and Saviour
Will see a wealth of beauty to behold
There’s a silence in the sunrise that speaks volumes in my heart
In a language that’s been written on the wind
It’s the words of God’s creation in the morning as it starts
In a song of love and life that never ends
I don’t know what it is about the morning
Perhaps it’s just the promise of the day
That every time I see the morning sunrise
It makes me want to lift my voice in praise
There’s a silence in the sunrise that speaks volumes in my heart
In a language that’s been written on the wind
It’s the words of God’s creation in the morning as it starts
In a song of love and life that never ends
“A WISH FOR YOU” by Jeff Leslie (rev.) 10/22/99
For a Man often many words
He only needed few
And a single touch was all it took
Then a miracle came true
But the things for which He’s best well known
Are an empty grave and a rolling stone
A home for us way up above
And a sacrifice, the greatest gift of love
To wish, wish for you
All the love God has for you
Is to wish for you the greatest love
That I have ever known
To wish you would receive
All you get when you believe
Is to wish the best of happiness
That I have ever known
Some days have their roses
And some are full of thorns
But a day will come with so much joy
If you have been reborn
And all it takes to get you there
Is a step of faith and a word of prayer
And all the words that I could say
Could never tell the love that comes your way
To wish, wish for you
All the love God has for you
Is to wish for you the greatest love
That I have ever known
To wish you would receive
All you get when you believe
Is to wish the best of happiness
That I have ever known
How I long to tell you all He’s done for me
But our time is short are and His love is strong
And all I have is a simple song
So take it all for all it’s worth
And place it there inside your heart
Cause that is where it starts
And that's where it belongs
"ALL I NEED TO KNOW" by Jeff Leslie
ca. 1980
It's not the countless blessings that forever make my days
Nor Your light that shines from glory making clear my way
It's not the hope of Heaven, Lord, that makes me love You so
It's just because You love me ...
Trials come and go, it doesn't mean that You're not there
For in my heart is lasting joy because I know You care
Nothing in this world could give the peace that You bestow
I have peace because You love me and that's all I need to know
Used to be, it took the best of gold to buy my happiness
But I could never count on it to stay
Then I found a perfect love that filled my heart from up above
Now You're here beside me every moment, every day
It's not because of something I can hold within my hand
In fact it's so much more, I don’t really understand
Everything I'll ever need is in my very soul
For I know that Jesus loves me and that's all I need to know
Yes, I know that Jesus loves me for the Bible tells me so
Lord, I know how much You love me and that's all I need to know
