Hilary Weeks
Each of us has experienced circumstances in our lives when the only person we can turn to is God. Whether in times of greatest need or times when our hearts have been filled with gratitude for the blessings we have received and for the lessons we have learned, we have felt constrained to kneel before Him and express our desires, thanks and praise. These “prayer songs” comprise some of the most beautiful, powerful and dramatic ever written.

- He’s My Son
- Not My Will

- My Kindness Shall Not Depart From Thee

It all started when Hilary Weeks decided to adapt the lyrics of the song “My Favorite Things” to capture her favorite things more accurately. High on the list of favorites came “bedtime and naptime,” but those were soon followed by all kinds of quotes, experiences, memories, insights, and even some fun recipes. In this joyful book for moms, Hilary shares many of those favorite things, including her famed “song parodies” on an accompanying CD.

Lyrics:
Climb Ev’ry Mountain
Climb ev’ry mountain
Wash every load
If you’re alive and breathing
Then there are clothes to fold
Sort whites and colors
Wash some on hot
All my whites are pink now
Because of one red sock
Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo – INTRO
Now, since we’re on the subject of theme songs, is anyone interesting in a theme song for teenagers? It seems to me that teenagers don’t listen very well because you can tell them things over and over and over and they just don’t get it. For instance, I have a teenage daughter and I I have told her more times than I can count, “Please clear off the bathroom counter. Before you go to school, put away the hairspray, the deodorant, the curling irons. Just put it all in the drawer.” And every time, she will say: “Ok, Mom. I totally will. That is no problem at all.” And then she goes to school and I walk by the bathroom and everything is still sitting there on the counter. So I have decided that we speak different languages. When I am speaking, this is what she hears:
Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo
Salagadoola mechicka boola bibbidi-bobbidi-boo
I am a teenager, so all I hear is
bibbidi-bobbidi-boo
I Believe I Can Fly
I believe I can fly
And I will if you continue to cry
I’ve listened to you whine all day
Gonna start the minivan and drive away
Cuz my ears are gettin’ sore
You’ll see me running through that open door
And when daddy gets home
Tell him not to call my cell phone
Unless he’s made you dinner
And the dishes have been done
And you’ve been tucked into bed
With pajamas and a pull-up on
Otherwise I’ll run errands all night long
Or at least I will try
To- Do List
The alarm clock goes off.
I feel like I’m dead.
I push snooze three times
Then I roll out of bed
The house is so quiet
The kids still asleep
I have time to myself
So I brush my teeth
Then I read my scriptures
And say my prayers
Heaven knows I’ll need help
Not to pull out my hair
I wish my whole day could be calm like this
But alas let the rat race begin
The kids all wake up
I help them get dressed
I do their hair then I make them breakfast
A healthy well balanced meal
I serve captain crunch and fruit loops
I pack them a lunch
I find shoes and socks
Just in time for the bus
I kiss them as they walk out the door
You might think I’d be lonely but there are two more
I plop them in front of morning T.V.
It’s a small price to pay for my sanity
Then I exercise for 20 minutes
Shower, dress and do the dishes
Throw in a few loads of laundry
Vacuum the floor
Sweep the kitchen, dust the shelves
I really ought to hire help
Change a diaper, find my keys
Then head out the door
To Wal-Mart, Costco, Target, ShopKo,
Walgreens just to get a few things
Back in time for visit teaching
But that’s not all
Plan the budget pay the bills,
Clean up at least a dozen spills
Check my e-mail, write a blog,
Then call my best friend
Help with homework, drive to soccer
Make an appointment with the doctor
Plan a birthday, feed the dog,
Piano lessons
Send the friends home
Pick the kids up
Time for the dinner
I’ll order pizza
And when tomorrow comes I’ll do this all again
Then my husband comes home, and pulls something out of my hair
It’s a smushed cheerio; I didn’t know it was there
He gives me a hug in his sweet gentle way
And then he asks, “So, what did you do today?”
Just the usual
My Favorite Things
When I don’t constantly nag at my children
They just do their chores like sweeping the kitchen
When they put toilet paper back on the roll
It feels like I’ve witnessed a small miracle
Here’s a few more of my favorite things:
Bedtime and naptime and bedtime and naptime
Bedtime and naptime and bedtime and naptime
Did I mention it’s nice when the kids go to sleep
These are a few of my favorite things
When the kids fight
When my husband’s late
When I’m feeling sad
I open the freezer, pull out the ice cream
And then I don’t feel so bad
Who You Are
I know you wonder
If you’ll ever have a day
Where the kids stay calm, the laundry’s done
And the dishes are put away
And sometimes you feel like
Your days are spent and gone
And the question running through your mind
Is what have I gotten done
And when you finally have a moment to slow down
At the end of your day I know Father would say
Believe in what you’re doing
Believe in who you are
And hold tight to the truth that you’re a daughter of God
Believe in who you’re becoming, believe in who you are
Now it might seem simple
All the little things you do
But the lives you touch matter so much
And there’s no one else like you
And Father needs you to stand tall and faithful
To be all you can be
Oh, if you could see what he sees
You’d believe in what you’re doing
You’d believe in who you are
So hold tight to the truth that you’re a daughter of God
Believe in who you’re becoming, believe in who you are
And when it’s hard to believe in yourself
And you feel like you’re beginning to doubt
Remember
That he believes in what you’re doing
He believes in who you are
So don’t lose sight of the truth that you’re a daughter of God
That he believes in who you’re becoming, He believes in who you are

Lyrics:
1. Christmas Once Again
(Hilary Weeks)
When the frost comes
When mittens and hats go on
When the snow leaves a blanket of white veiling the ground
When housetops
Glisten with strings of light
When the children impatiently wait for that magical night
It’s Christmas
It’s Christmas once again
Sing Halleluia
For a star in the sky and angels who sang
Halleluia, O Halleluia
For the Gift Heaven gave
When sleigh bells ring
When evergreens scent the air
When the ovens and counters are filled with goodies to share
When the laughter begins
As families gather close
When the melodies of the season echo through our homes
It’s Christmas
It’s Christmas once again
Repeat Chorus
When hearts change
When hope conquers fear
When the things that really matter seem a little more clear
When a manger
Tells the story of how we’re blessed
When nations unite in peace and good will to all men
It’s Christmas
It’s Christmas once again
Repeat Chorus
Because of Him
It’s Christmas once again

7. First Lullaby/Silent Night
(Hilary Weeks/Traditional)
On this silent holy night
As I hold this precious child

He is mine and yet He is God’s
Sleep now, Sleep my Son
Sleep in peace
Years ahead will yet unfold
But tonight I’ll keep Him close
Safe and warm in the manger
Emmanuel sent here to save us
Tomorrow waits tonight rest your head
Sleep now, Sleep my Son
Sleep in peace
Silent night, Holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin, mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

10. Is There Room
(Hilary Weeks)
I can almost see
If I close my eyes
I can almost see her face
Filled with hope and wonder
She tells Joseph of
The Son she’ll bear one day
Things she has kept in her heart
Things only she has known
Now Joseph too will know
So with a prayer in her heart
And a babe inside
She tells what must be told
As Mary looks at Joseph and waits for his reply
I wonder if this silent question crossed her mind
Is there room
Is there room in your heart
Will you let this Miracle in
God’s own Son
God’s own Son has come to save us
Born for me and you
Is there room
I can almost see
That holy night
As a new star lights the sky
And Mary patiently waits
As Joseph faithfully makes
One more, one last try
And Joseph knows the time is close as he knocks at the door
When the keeper of the inn appears Joseph asks once more
Repeat Chorus
And tonight as I tie the last bow
And put one more gift under the tree
I pause in the middle of all of the bustle
As the Spirit of this season whispers to me
Repeat Chorus

Description.
The six members of Eclipse originally met while performing in a public relations /ambassador-oriented group that was part of the department of Programs and Entertainment at Utah State University. They began by arranging their own vocal covers of popular songs and performing them on campus and in the Logan area. Increasing public interest and performance opportunities led to the recording of their first album, “Once,” which was released in April 2001.
In 2003, Eclipse was named “Best Vocal Group” in Utah’s Best of State awards and “Group Recording Artist of the Year” in the Faith Centered Music Association’s Pearl Awards. In 2004, Eclipse received three more Pearl Awards, including “ Holiday Album of the Year,” and were the runners-up for “Best Holiday Album” in the Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards. They also received two Just Plain Folks Music Awards (the world’s largest music awards program, honoring independent musicians in over 85 countries).
After eight years of sharing their music, Eclipse felt very grateful for success and the opportunities they had to share their love of music around the world. So, it was with this gratefulness in mind that they released their fifth album, “Grateful Praise,” an album that could express the notion that worship through music transcends style and that, regardless of setting, there will always be a level of praise inherent in music that cannot be achieved by any other means.

Lyrics:
1.Amazing Grace / My Chains Are Gone
(Traditional / Louie Giglio / Chris Tomlin)
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind, but now I see
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
My chains are gone
I’ve been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures
My chains are gone
I’ve been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine

2. Untitled Hymn (Come to Jesus)
(Chris Rice)
Weak and wounded sinner
Lost and left to die
O, raise your head for love is passing by
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus and live!
Now your burden’s lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain
So sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and live!
And like a newborn baby
Don’t be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk sometimes we fall
So fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live!
Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain
Then
cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live!
O, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night
And when you can’t contain your joy inside
Then dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live!
And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory’s side
And fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live!

3. Abide With Me / Abide With Me, ‘Tis Eventide
(Henry F. Lyte/William H. Monk/Lowrie M. Hofford/Harrison Millard)
Abide with me fast falls the eventide
The darkness deepens, Lord with me abide
When other helpers fail and comforts flee
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me
Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day
Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away
Change and decay in all around I see
O Thou who changest not, abide with me
Abide with me; ’tis eventide,
And lone will be the night
If I cannot commune with thee
Nor find in thee my light.
The darkness of the world, I fear,
Would in my home abide.
O Savior, stay this night with me;
Behold, ’tis eventide.
O Savior, stay this night with me;
Behold, ’tis eventide.

4. Behold the Wounds
(David Naylor/John Pearson)
Behold the wounds in Jesus’ hands
The Marks upon His side.
Then ponder who He meant to save
When on the cross He died.
We cannot see the love of God
Which saves us from the fall,
Yet know that Christ from wood and nails
Built mansions for us all.
Behold the out-stretched hands of Christ
Our God, who came to save,
Whose love and grace redeems our souls
And lifts us from the grave.
Though bruised and battered as we stray
His loving hands caress,
He washes and annoints with oil
Then in His arms we rest.
Behold the wounds in Jesus’ hands,
Look to your Lord and live
He yearns to bless you with His love
And all your sins forgive.
Oh empty is the heart of man
When it is filled with sin.
Come open wide your broken heart
And let your Savior in!
Behold His wounded hands and feet!
Come touch and see and feel
The wounds and marks that you may know
His love for you is real.
Then as you fall to worship Him
And wash His feet in tears,
Your Savior takes you in His arms
And quiets all your fears.
Your Savior takes you in His arms
And quiets all your fears

5. Were You There
(African American Spiritual)
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?
Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?

6. Homeward Bound
(Marta Keen Thompson)
In the quiet misty morning
When the moon has gone to bed
When the sparrows stop their singing
And the sky is clear and red
When the summer’s ceased its gleaming
When the corn is past its prime
When adventure’s lost its meaning
I’ll be homeward bound in time
Bind me not to the pasture
Chain me not to the plow
Set me free to find my calling
And I’ll return to you somehow
If you find it’s me you’re missing
If you’re hoping I’ll return
To your thoughts I’ll soon be listening
In the road I’ll stop and turn
Then the wind will set me racing
As my journey nears its end
And the path I’ll be retracing
When I’m homeward bound again
Bind me not to the pasture
Chain me not to the plow
Set me free to find my calling
And I’ll return to you somehow
In the quiet misty morning
When the moon has gone to bed
When the sparrows stop their singing
And the sky is clear and red

7. How Great Thou Art
(Stuart K. Hine/Sweedish Folk Melody)
O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works Thy Hand hath made,
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,
Thy pow’r throughout the universe displayed;
And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation,
And take me home what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim “My God, how great Thou art!”
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!

8. Part the Waters, Lord / I Need Thee Every Hour
(Charles F. Brown/Annie S. Hawkes/Robert Lowry)
When I think I’m going under
Part the waters, Lord
When I feel the waves around me
Calm the sea
When I cry for help
Oh, hear me, Lord
And hold our Your hand
Touch my life
Still the raging storm in me
I need thee every hour
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like
Thine can peace afford.
I need thee every hour
Stay thou nearby
Temptations lose their power
When thou art nigh
I need Thee, O I need thee
Every hour I need thee
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to thee
I need thee every hour
In joy or pain
Come quickly and abide
Or life is vain
I need Thee, O I need thee
Every hour I need thee
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to thee

9. In Humility, Our Savior
(Mabel Jones Gabbott/Rowland H. Prichard)
In humility, our Savior,
Grant thy Spirit here, we pray,
As we bless the bread and water
In thy name this holy day.
Let me not forget, O Savior,
Thou didst bleed and die for me
When thy heart was stilled and broken
On the cross at Calvary.
Fill our hearts with sweet forgiving;
Teach us tolerance and love.
Let our prayers find access to thee
In thy holy courts above.
Then, when we have proven worthy
Of thy sacrifice divine,
Lord, let us regain they presence;
Let thy glory round us shine

10. Fairest Lord Jesus (Beautiful Savior)
(Selesian Folk Song/Text anonymous)
Fair is the sunshine,
Fairer the moonlight,
And all the stars in heaven above.
Jesus shines brighter,
Jesus shines purer,
He brings to all the world His light
Fair are the meadows,
Fairer are the woodlands,
Robed in flowers of blooming spring;
Jesus is fairer,
Jesus is purer;
He makes our sorrowing spirit sing.
Beautiful Savior,
Lord of the nations,
Son of God and Son of Man!
Thee will I honor,
Praise, and give glory;
Give praise and glory evermore

11. It Is Well With My Soul
(Horatio Spafford/Philip P. Bliss)
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
But, Lord, ’tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait
The sky, not the grave, is our goal
Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul!
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
And, Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.

12. Softly and Tenderly
(Will L. Thompson)
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me;
See, on the portals he’s waiting and watching,
Watching for you and for me.
Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading,
Pleading for you and for me?
Why should we linger and heed not his mercies,
Mercies for you and for me?
Come home, come home;
Ye who are weary come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!
O for the wonderful love he has promised,
Promised for you and for me!
Though we have sinned, he has mercy and pardon,
Pardon for you and for me.
Come home, come home;
Ye who are weary come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!

I was born with half a heart. God made up the difference.
This is the remarkable true story of one man’s struggle to survive long enough to get a second chance at life.
Along the way, Paul wrote down his thoughts, feelings, and observations in an online blog called “Living for Eden,” named for his three-year-old daughter. This book reflects those blog entries and additional intimate insight into a miraculous journey that convincingly shows that God knows us personally and that we are put here on earth for a reason.
Paul says, “I’m a witness that these soul-stretching experiences can offer us, if we let them, joy, wisdom, happiness, and a personal relationship with God.”
After reading his story, you might also ponder the question, What do I need to do with my life . . . before my heart stops?

In my hand I hold a penny
Tarnished and so small
I know it’s a meager offering
But it is my all
In return You build me mansions
Palaces and thrones
I’m offering a piece of rusty copper
You’re offering streets of gold
In my hand a bead of water
Salty frail teardrop
I know it’s a meager offering
But it’s all I’ve got
In return You send me oceans
Downpour feeds the flood
I’m offering a tiny fallen droplet
You’re drenching me with love
In my hand a blackened stone
Cold hard heap of coal
I know it’s a meager offering
But it is my soul
In return You drape me in diamonds
Gems so rare and round
I’m offering a roughened rock unpolished
You’re fitting me a crown
In my hand I hold a candle
Tiny fragile spark
I know it’s a meager offering
But it is my heart
In return Your summer sunshine
Winter is undone
I’m offering a flicker in the darkness
You’re offering the sun
I’m offering a flicker in the darkness
You’re offering the sun
You’re offering the Son
Window to His Love
From the album State of the Heart

I want to be a window to His love
So when you look at me you will see Him
I want to be so pure and clear
That you won’t even know I’m here
’Cause His love will shine brightly through me
I want to be a doorway to the truth
So when you walk beyond you will find Him
I want to stand so straight and tall
That you won’t notice me at all
But through my open door He will be seen
Chorus
A window to His love
A doorway to the truth
A bearer of the message
He’d have me bring to you
And with each passing day
I want to fade away
’Til only He can be seen
And I become a window to His love
I want to be a window to His love
So you can look through me and you’ll see Him
And someday shining through the glass
You’ll see His loving countenance
’Cause I will have become like He is
Chorus
A doorway to the truth
A bearer of the message
He’d have me bring to you
And with each passing year
I want to disappear
’Til He’s become everything
And I’ve become a window to His love
