My Life is available to you

I recorded this song 'My life is available to you' (by Bishop T.D. Jakes)  for our St. Clare's elementary school choir where I volunteer with the choir .http://www.zshare.net/audio/891879980391cb8f/ . When you arrive on the page do not click play (that is for videos) , the music will play. I've used our school keyboard and recorded the tracks and then played live on the piano when the choir sang. I had been to the Toronto mass Choir Power Up Gospel Music Workshop with our youth choir and we learned this song and sang it at the concert on the final day. Here are the lyrics; I think they are beautiful
Holy, Lord You're holy.
Holy, Lord You're holy.
Worthy, Lord You're worthy.
Worthy, Lord You're worthy.

Chorus 1
And I'll praise You Lord,
for You are my strength and reward.
I'm lost without You,
Your love pulls me through,
my life is available to You.

Verse 2
Awesome, Lord You're awesome.
Awesome, Lord You're awesome.
Righteous, Lord You're righteous.
Righteous, Lord You're righteous.

Chorus 1

Chorus 2
And I'll serve You Lord,
for You are my strength and reward.
I'm lost without You,
Your love pulls me through,
my life is available to You.

Hallelujah - Easter version by Kelley Mooney

i love this version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah.  It tells the story of the passion, death and resurrection of our Lord, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guhr0Vh2hE0  Here are the lyrics:
 Lyrics To Hallelujah by Kelly Mooney
Adapted to the music of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah

A crown of thorns placed on His head
He knew that He would soon be dead
He said did you forget me Father did you?
They nailed Him to a wooden cross
Soon all the world would feel the loss
Of Christ the King before His Hallelujah

Hallelujah x4

He hung His head and prepared to die
Then lifted His face up to the sky
Said I am coming home now Father to you
A reed which held His final sip
Was gently lifted to his lips
He drank His last and gave His soul to glory

Hallelujah x4

The soldier who had used his sword
To pierce the body of our Lord
Said truly this is Jesus Christ our Savior
He looked with fear upon his sword
Then turned to face his Christ and Lord
Fell to his knees crying Hallelujah

Hallelujah x4

Took from his head the thorny crown
And wrapped him in a linen gown
And laid him down to rest inside the tomb
The holes in his hands, his feet and side
Now in our hearts we know he died
To save us from ourselves oh hallelujah

Hallelujah x4

Three days went by again they came
To move the stone to bless the slain
With oil and spice anointing hallelujah
But as they went to move the stone
They saw that they were not alone
But Jesus Christ has risen Hallelujah

Hallelujah x4
Hallelujah x4
