“Imagine Me Well (Voice Inside)” -
Susan BoYoung Bailey Schabacker
Imagine me well
Not taken hostage from illness
Imagine me whole
Not shaking or breaking
Imagine me healed
Every cell regenerated
Imagine me real
With nothing to hide
This voice inside
Will no longer hide
And I’m not biding time
For this life is yours and mine
You renew my mind
You restore my soul
You rejuvenate this joy
In my heart
In you I am set free
Every part of me
From anyone and anything
Free as the sea
This voice inside
Will no longer hide
And I’m not biding time
For this life is yours and mine
You renew my mind
You restore my soul
You rejuvenate this joy
In my heart
Like tiny grains of sand
You help me know who I am
Not afraid to be the real me
And you help me see
Those blessings in disguise
Dreams are realized
Limitless sky is in my eyes
Reflections shimmering
On the water
The effortlerss flow of the tide
Look for you in each moment
True and bonafide
This voice inside
Will no longer hide
And I’m not biding time
For this life is yours and mine
You renew my mind
You restore my soul
You rejuvenate this joy
In my heart
And I hear your voice
In the softest whisper
Urging me to be still
And somehow you are still with me
Helping me be well (2x)

“Miraculous Ways (Trust in Him)” – Susan B. B. Schabacker
Forget where we’ve been
There’s a greater plan
COVID will not win
And this is not the end
With tears in our eyes
We move forward
We abandon our fears
And move on together
God is working in miraculous ways
We have to let go of fear
And just trust in Him
Though it’s felt like
Hell on earth
We will unite
Bringing light to a dark world
With tears in our eyes
We move forward
We abandon our fears
And move on together
God is working in miraculous ways
We have to let go of fear
And just trust in Him

“Oyster Making A Pearl” – © Susan B. B. Schabacker
Making up for wasted time
Treading water and an uphill climb
But you meet me in the middle
And help me up from the ground
I’m completely lost without you
Somewhere in the great unknown
Don’t know where I’d be without you
And it’s an internal compass that I’ve found
And here I am on my knees again
You’re the sunshine in the rain
Blessings waiting around the bend
In what seems like a dead end
But it’s not over
Thanks to you
It’s never over
You see me through
You catch the tears that fall
I’ve been through it all
But you’re never far away
Need you in every way
Lighting my way in the dark
My fears can finally part
Free within and without
Shedding every kind of doubt
And here I am on my knees again
You’re the sunshine in the rain
Blessings waiting around the bend
In what seems like a dead end
But it’s not over
Thanks to you
It’s never over
You see me through
I know that in every struggle
I’m like an oyster making a pearl
The things that hurt
Held me back and brought me down
Are like dust in the wind
And here I am on my knees again
You’re the sunshine in the rain
Blessings waiting around the bend
In what seems like a dead end
But it’s not over
Thanks to you
It’s never over
You see me through
You heal me and you make me whole
You light me from within (2x)

“Knocking on The Door of my Broken Heart” – Susan B. B. Schabackers
Bedraggled and weary I stumble on
My feet don’t where to go
Because my mind is lost
And I have no home
Don’t remember where I came from
Have no idea where to go
And I feel so alone
With no place to call home
Feeling like there’s no hope
God is calling to me
He is knocking on the door of my broken heart
There’s a love I’ve never known
And he’s healing every part of my fractured soul
Only he knows what we’ve all gone through
And how much I’ve cried out for help
I realize that he is the only answer
To everything I’ve tried to solve
But a glimmer of light catches my eye
As it pierces through the dark
I feel the need to press on
With feelings I never knew
Someone offers their hand
Someone gives from their heart
Catching a glimmer of hope
God is calling to me
He is knocking on the door of my heart
There’s a love I’ve never known
And he’s healing every part of my broken soul
Only he knows what we’ve all gone through
And how much I’ve cried out for help
I realize he is the answer
To everything I’ve tried desperately to solve

“Truer The Meaning of Life” – Susan B. B. Schabacker
Stronger I grow with your hand in my life
Wiser I grow in the truth
You are the way to the love and the light
You are the way I know is true
So I’m with you (2x)
You’ve taken me from the depths of the sea
You’ve saved me eternally
And I was blind but now I see (I see)
Truer the meaning of life
And I know you’re working in my life
And the power of your holy name
With you I feel no shame (2x)
You are the anchor the rock in the storm
Though waves may crash almost drowning me
You always see me through
In whatever I do (2x)
You’ve taken me from the depths of the sea
You’ve saved me eternally
And I was lost but you live in me
Truer the meaning of life
And I know you’re working in my life
You heal every broken piece
As my tears fall like rain
I will never be the same
You carry us through all the fire rain and storms
You protect and shelter us from all harm
You light the darkest places on earth
And you give the hopeless hope
You’ve taken me from the depths of the sea
You’ve saved me eternally
And I was trapped
But now I’m free (I’m free)
Truer the meaning of life
And I know you’re working in my life
Somehow you make me whole again
With you I feel no pain
And even through loss there is gain

“Father, Essential To My Being”- © Susan B. B. Schabacker
You held me hand
Somehow filled that void
You provided for me
Meeting my greatest needs
You helped me up
Whenever I fell down
You sought me out
I was so lost but now I am found
Father
You are the glue that’s pieced me together
You are the anchor for my ship
You are essential to my being
You don’t leave me ill equipped
And your love goes on forever
Father
You let me know when I am wrong
You encourage me to find my song
You’re the strongest anthem that I sing
And you’ve helped me find my voice
You’ve fought my demons
Given me the courage to face my fears
Even when I’ve felt so alone
You’ve been with me through all my years
You’ve been my shelter in the storm
The only one who will never fail
You’ve redirected my life
And I’m inspired to do what’s right
Father
You are the glue that’s pieced me together
You are the anchor for my ship
You are essential to my being
You don’t leave me ill equipped
And your love goes on forever
Father
You let me know when I am wrong
You encourage me to find my song
You’re the strongest anthem that I sing
And you’ve helped me find my voice
You held me hand
Somehow filling that void
You provided for me
Meeting my greatest needs
You are my umbrella in the rain
You alleviate all my pain
You put stars and moonlight
Into the darkest night
And I am here because of you
I am grateful to be with you
I am thankful to know you too
And I will always always love you too (2x)

“The Peace In Me” – © Susan B. B. Schabacker
And the peace of God
Which transcends all understanding
Will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus
Phillipians 4:7
This inner peace this inner knowing
That everything will be all right
You are the glue that fixes the broken pieces
And the anchor that keeps my ship afloat
Be still my child you say
Open up your heart
Lift your voice and pray
Open up your mind
And feel this peace from within
You are the peace in me
It is the whisper in the silence
That reminds me that I am okay
You‘re the voice that’s calling
With words so reassuring
Be still my child you say
Open up your heart
Lift your voice and pray
Open up your mind
And feel this peace from within
You are the peace in me
Now may the Lord of peace Himself
Give you peace at all times and in every way
The Lord be with all of you
2 Thessalonians 3:16
Blessed are the peacemakers
For they will be called the children of God
Matthew 5:9
When I’m on my knees
Beggin you please
Stop this chaos from overwhelming me
Feel like I just can’t breathe
You are the peace in me
The peace in me
The fears that swirl around me
Like Edvard Munch’s painting The Scream
When my mind body and spirit feel like they’re at war
You are the peace
The peace in me
The peace in me

“Jesus You Have Risen To Save The World” –
© Susan B. B. Schabacker
Jesus you rose like a phoenix from the ashes
You shine bright like an eternal flame
And it is you who saves our souls
From you young to old
There is no end to your love
The cross you bore
The weight of the world
To save the world
So here you are you live in us
You lived as a man who
Offered his life and bore the cross
You light the way with truth and light
And offer us eternal life
You’ve given these blind eyes sight
The cross you bore
The weight of the world
To save the world
After your sacrifice
And all the suffering
Your wounds were healed and gone
The cross you bore
The weight of the world
To save the world (3x)
Amazing grace
By which we’re saved
Is the living proof
That you’ve gone
Beyond the grave (3x)
With spiritual hope renewed
The answer to all life’s questions
We turn to you (2x)
In whatever we go through
We know you’ll see us through
So we fix our eyes on you
