This Is Not The End Verse 1 The clouds they form, covers up the sun Turning light to dark and the day to night The raindrops fall onto the ground And the floods they start to rise Forty days and forty nights, it never seems to rest Give up the hope all life is dead This must be the end Chorus Father help us now to feel the father’s love There’s a storm before the calm, but this is not the end Verse 2 Left high and dry in this barren land With nowhere else to go Twenty years and twenty more And all we see is bones I’m going round in circles, I’ve been here before Give up the hope all life is dead This must be the end

Let Me In 04:18
Let Me In Verse 1 I’ve got my foot in the door, Let me in a little more Open up your heart, ‘cos’ I’ve loved you from the start There’s no need for the front with me Just let me in and let it be I see those tears in your cries Waterfalls are in your eyes Chorus Would you let me in? Would you let me in? Would you let me in? My love goes further still, if you just let me in Would you let me in? Would you let me in? Verse 2 You got me put on a shelf and left me by myself Dusty and old a story left untold You left me behind, forgotten from your mind Yet I’m still there waiting for you to dare to let me in
3.
Mercy 03:26
Mercy Verse 1 Time in the valley will come to pass They will come, but they won’t last ‘Cos’ through the pain and tears And the heart aching years You’ll be with me You’ll be there Chorus Your mercy overwhelms me Your mercy overwhelms me Oh Oh Oh Oh Your mercy overwhelms me Your mercy overwhelms me Verse 2 Lord I cry out to you You grab my hand and you pulled me through For you are with me you are there Bridge You never let go You never let go You are with me You are here
4.
Father 03:58
Father Verse 1 Born without a father, left all alone Left without a dad to call her own No one to invite to her games Who will cheer her on, and pick her up when she falls Chorus Everyone needs a father, everyone needs a friend Everyone needs someone like You Verse 2 First came the abandonment Then came the second chance Later it’s all thrown away Where did it leave the little girl Who just wanted you to care Verse 3 Hurt and broken hearted Rejected all over again She kneels down and prays Saying Chorus 2 Lord will You be my Father Lord will You be my friend Because Lord all I need is You
5.
Don’t Need Eyes To See Verse 1 Like the wind blown against the tree The wind is something I can’t see But the effects are as clear as day No one questions its reality The tree is moving so the wind must be The effects are as clear as day Chorus Oh Oh Oh Oh I see You, yes I see You And Oh oh oh oh I feel You, yes I feel You Verse 2 My natural eyes they might be blind I feel you in my spirit not my mind You don’t need eyes to see I feel Your love overwhelming me Tears falling down my cheek I was blind but now I see
6.
Lighthouse 03:15
Lighthouse Verse 1 When my ship drifts astray You’re the lighthouse guiding me in When I find I’m lost at sea You’re the lighthouse guiding me in Chorus ‘Cos’ You are the Light You are the Way You are the truth that lights the Way You are the truth that lights the Way Verse 2 In the darkest places Your light shines through You are the Way You are the Truth
7.
Apologies 04:11
Apologies Verse 1 Time and time again I let you down Time and time again I let you down Apologies aren’t the same as repentance There needs to be a change within A heart of stone can say they’re sorry Oh Lord wash away my sin Chorus Oh wash me clean, Lord rain on me Oh wash me clean, Lord rain on me On me Verse 2 Life is not all about me Life is not about me I don’t belong in the drivers seat Lord take the wheel, take over me ‘Cos’ life is not about me Chorus 2 Oh my God reign over me Oh my God reign over me Over me

Sun After The Rain Spring has come and winters passed The cold and rain is dying down Flowers will grow with colours of the rainbow This is our time, the time is now Chorus I’m not a slave trapped in this cage I may feel some pain But there’s sun after the rain Verse 2 Spring has come, a new season’s here We’ll see it rise, we’ll see it grow It’s gonna grow like a tree In the shape of victory This is our time, the time is now
9.
My Letter To The Devil Verse 1 Playing the fool for far too long Forgetting my intelligence Believing the lies that I’ve been told You’ll never about to anything And I’ve been robbed of all self worth Useless is my middle name Can’t do this, can’t do that Why should I even try? Chorus ‘Cos’ He is greater Than you and I The only difference is He is one my side He is greater Than you and I The only difference is God is on my side Bridge So leave your lies at the door I ain’t listening no more For I might be a failure But my God’s a succeeder
10.
All I See 05:39
All I See Verse 1 Look at the Moon and the Stars Jupiter and Mars All I see is You Like the morning sun rise It brings light into my eyes All I see is You Chorus All I see is You It’s all glory to Your name It’s all glory to Your name Verse 2 Look at the birds in the tree All the fish in the sea All I see is You I see the flowers arise It brings beauty to my eyes All I see is You

about

Dave Hailes Manchester, UK

Proverbs 6:6-9 talks about taking a lesson from the ant. Stop being lazy get up and do something. God spoke to me through this verse telling me to get off my backside and start using the talents in songwriting and start to make a difference. With my music I want people to be able to relate to it, trying to tackle life's issues and show that when things look bad its not the end of the story. ... more
