At His Word

Lyrics © 2025 Christopher M. Halecky

——————————————————-

Verse 1

The wind came up across the bay,

The night was black, the boat would sway.

They pulled the oars, they fought the tide,

While the Lord of life lay sleeping inside.

“Master, save us, we’re going down,”

They cried aloud through the thunder’s sound.

He rose and spoke, the storm obeyed,

And peace was made that day.

Chorus

At His Word the waters rest,

At His Word the heart is blessed.

Faith is not in what we see,

But in the One who calmed the sea.

At His Word the fear will fade,

Grace remains where trust is laid.

Verse 2

Peter stepped out on the deep,

The sea was wild, the climb was steep.

He walked a while, then lost his ground,

Till mercy’s hand pulled him around.

“Take courage, son, I’m always near,”

The voice still echoes crystal clear.

The waves grew small, the sky grew wide,

And love stood by his side.

Chorus

At His Word the waters rest,

At His Word the heart is blessed.

Faith is not in what we see,

But in the One who calmed the sea.

At His Word the fear will fade,

Grace remains where trust is laid.

Verse 3

One quiet night the house was still,

The air was heavy, the world was chill.ed.

She lay so pale, her breathing thin,

And I prayed, “Lord, save her, if it’s Your will.”

The hours passed, I kept my place,

The tears fell soft, but so did grace.

Then breath returned, her eyes found mine,

And hope became divine.

[Matthew 8:23–27, Mark 4:35–41, Luke 8:22–25, Matthew 14:22–33]

Verse 1

All these elaborate plans,

You know what you’re going to do,

And when you’re going to do it—

Your eyes are fixed on tomorrow,

While today slips quietly through.

You’re chasing the wind, not knowing why,

While the sunlight fades from view.


Chorus

You’ve got to take each day,

One day at a time — day by day.

You’ve got to stop and look around,

Don’t let life pass you by.

Discover the beauty of the world,

And the wonder of life,

For every season has its time.


Verse 2

Life can change without warning,

Like the wind that shifts the flame.

We chase the hours and lose their meaning,

Forgetting why we came.

But mercy breathes where shadows fall,

And grace restores what fades away—

Don’t let the fleeting steal your peace,

For love still lights the way.


Chorus

You’ve got to take each day,

One day at a time — day by day.

You’ve got to stop and look around,

Don’t let life pass you by.

Discover the beauty of the world,

And the wonder of life,

For every season has its time.


Verse 3 — Reflection (Ecclesiastes)

There’s a time to plant and a time to heal,

A time to laugh and cry.

A time for silence and a time to speak,

A time to live and die.

So take this breath that God has given,

And lift your weary eyes,

For He has made all things beautiful—

In their perfect time.


Bridge

Take a little time each day:

Take time to give,

Take time to play,

Take time to laugh and pray.

Take time to love,

And take time to be loved—

For life is a gift of grace.


Bridge Extension

The time to love is now, my friend,

Before the day is gone.

Don’t let the things that fade away

Leave you with regrets undone.

Hold close what truly matters most—

The hearts you’ve been given to know.


Final Chorus

You’ve got to take each day,

One day at a time — day by day.

You’ve got to stop and look around,

Don’t let life pass you by.

Discover the beauty of the world,

And the wonder of life,

For every season has its time…

Day by day.

[Ecclesiastes 3:1–8]

Journey to Discovery

———————————————-⸻

Verse 1

Headed out upon this road,

The dust is rising beneath my feet.

The sun is high, the path is holy, though unseen,

The hills ahead in heat.

No map but mercy lights the way for me—

Only faith and breath remain.

Each step I take, I whisper softly,

“Lord, lead me through this flame.”

⸻

Chorus

I’m on this journey, Lord, to the mountain,

Through the fire, through the stone.

Every shadow, every silence,

Leads me closer to Your throne.

Call my name across the desert,

Through the wind that chills my bone—

You are the mountain calling,

Calling me home.

⸻

Verse 2

The path grows narrow, the air grows thin,

My strength begins to wane.

I stumble where the stones are sharp,

Yet still I call Your name.

The clouds press low, the echoes cry,

The valley pulls me down.

But still I climb, though all I know

Is faith—and holy sound.

⸻

Chorus

I’m on this journey, Lord, to the mountain,

Through the storm, through the unknown.

Every heartbeat, every longing,

Brings me nearer to Your throne.

Call my name through wind and thunder,

Let Your mercy be my home—

You are the mountain calling,

Calling me home.

⸻

Bridge

And when the dawn breaks over silence,

I see the light begin to grow.

What once was pain becomes my prayer,

What once was fear—I now let go.

For on this climb, I’ve learned Your mercy,

Each stone, each scar, a holy sign.

I walk by grace, not sight or reason—

The mountain now is Thine.

⸻

Final Chorus

I’m on this journey, Lord, to the mountain,

Where the heavens start to glow.

Every trial, every trembling,

Led me to the love I know.

Call my name through endless ages,

From the heart of holy stone—

You are the mountain calling,

And now I’m home.

[Psalm 121:1–2, Matthew 7:14, 2 Corinthians 5:7]

The Road To The Father’s Kingdom

———————————————————-

Verse 1

The road to the Lord can be long and steep,

Some days we run, some days we weep.

We stumble, fall, and lose our way,

But His mercy calls us every day.

No one stands without His grace,

Yet His love still lights this place.

Chorus

Keep walking, child, through shadow and stone,

The Father’s waiting to bring you home.

Through every cross, His hand will lead,

Through every trial, His heart will bleed.

Walk on in faith, through night and flame—

The road will end where love remains.

Verse 2

From Adam’s fall the story began,

But Heaven reached through the heart of man.

The Son was given, the Word made flesh,

To lift the world from its brokenness.

He bore the weight, He paid the price,

And opened the gates to Paradise.

Chorus

Keep walking, child, through shadow and stone,

The Father’s waiting to bring you home.

Through every cross, His hand will lead,

Through every trial, His heart will bleed.

Walk on in faith, through night and flame—

The road will end where love remains.

When the night feels far too long,

And your heart forgets its song,

Whisper His name, and you will find—

The Shepherd never leaves behind.

Final Chorus

Keep walking, child, through shadow and stone,

The Father’s waiting to bring you home.

No fear can stay, no sin can chain,

The heart that loves His holy name.

Walk on in faith, through night and flame—

The road will end where love 

Remains.

[John 1:14 + Isaiah 9]

Way Of Love

Verse 1

My heart trembles, my mind aches,

The world is pulling every way.

I try to walk the narrow road,

But I stumble day by day.

Then I hear a gentle voice say,

“There’s a path that shines above—

Follow Me with all your heart,

The way of love.”


Chorus 1

The way of love — it lights the dark,

It heals the wounds within the heart.

If we would feel His gentle light,

Our hearts must learn to love aright.

Let love be seen in all we do —

For love will lead us home to You.


Verse 2

Love the Lord with heart and soul,

Give Him all — let His peace make whole.

Think of Him in everything,

And let your spirit sing.

For He has given us His Son,

The gift of mercy from above,

And through the cross we’ve come to know

The way of love.


Chorus 2

The way of love — it lights the dark,

It heals the wounds within the heart.

If we would feel His gentle light,

Our hearts must learn to love aright.

Let love be seen in all we do —

For love will lead us home to You.

To hate another is to lose our part,

For we were born from the Father’s heart.

Reach your hand to those in need,

Let His compassion plant the seed.

The way of love — it lights the dark,

It heals the wounds within the heart.

If we would feel His gentle light,

Our hearts must learn to love aright.

Let love be seen in all we do —

For love will lead us home to You.

[Matthew 7:14, Deuteronomy 6:5, Matthew 22:37, John 3:16, 1 John 4:9, 1 John 3:16, Romans 5:8, 1 John 2:9–11, 1 John 3:1, James 1:18, Isaiah 58:7, Luke 10:37]

Seed

———————————————————-

Verse 1

Deep inside each heart there lies

A seed the Lord has sown.

It waits for light, it waits for care,

To find its place, its home.

But only in the soil of love

Can faith begin to grow—

For when the storm and darkness come,

It’s roots that make it whole.

Chorus

The seed of the Lord will grow in me,

If I let His Spirit be my peace.

When my heart is open wide,

His Word takes root, His truth abides.

The seed of the Lord will grow in me—

And bear His fruit eternally.

Verse 2

Some hear the Word yet turn away,

They do not understand.

The world’s deceit and fleeting joy

Can steal what He has planned.

But those who cling to Heaven’s call,

Who trust His holy name—

They find the seed begins to rise,

And love becomes the flame.

Chorus

The seed of the Lord will grow in me,

If I let His Spirit be my peace.

When my heart is open wide,

His Word takes root, His truth abides.

The seed of the Lord will grow in me—

And bear His fruit eternally.

Bridge 

Let the rain fall down, Lord,

Let the sunlight shine.

Make my heart Your garden,

Let Your Word be mine.

Final Chorus

The seed of the Lord will grow in me,

Your mercy flows, Your truth sets free.

Through every storm, through every night,

Your Word still shines, Your love is life.

The seed of the Lord will grow in me—

And bear His fruit eternally.

The Way He Bent Down

———————————————————

[Verse 1 — Early Memory]

I remember the night the water was cold,

lamplight shaking on the stone.

We were tired from walking all day,

arguing about who was first,

who would stand closest to Him.

He didn’t answer our words.

He picked up a basin,

wrapped a towel around His waist,

and knelt where the dust still clung

to our heels.

No one spoke.

We watched our pride

run into the water

and disappear.

[Verse 2 — Years Later]

I remember a woman at the edge of the room,

hair unbound, eyes lowered.

She didn’t say where she’d been,

didn’t explain her tears.

She just poured out everything

she still had left.

The scent stayed long after she was gone.

Some of us complained.

He didn’t.

He said love knows

when it has nothing to prove.

[Verse 3 — Another Day, Another Road]

There was a soldier once—

armor polished, voice steady—

who wouldn’t let Him cross the door.

Said distance was enough.

Said authority listens.

We laughed quietly.

He didn’t.

He stopped walking.

Looked at us like He was seeing something

we’d missed all along.

[Verse 4 — Now]

Now I notice my hands more than my words.

How they reach,

how they hesitate,

how often they stay clean

when they should be worn.

I think about the way He bent down—

how nothing in Him resisted it,

how power didn’t rise,

it lowered itself.

And I wonder

if that’s what He was teaching us

the whole time.

[Outro — Realization]

If I ever become like Him,

it won’t be in what I say.

It will be in where I stop,

what I carry,

and who I kneel beside

when no one is watching.

 Wisdom From Above

————————————————————

Verse 1 

There’s a storm that stirs within your mind,

When the world turns hard and unkind.

Clouds of anger darken your view,

And envy whispers, calling you.

But before you speak, before you fall,

Lift your eyes, and hear His call:

Chorus

Wisdom is a gift from above,

Pure as light, full of love.

It breathes peace, it sows gentleness,

Mercy for all, in righteousness.

It’s the fruit that grows within the heart—

The way of truth, the sacred start.

Verse 2 

In this world of noise and speed,

We forget the love that met our need.

We overlook His mercy’s hand,

And think we stand by our own command.

But when your strength begins to fade,

Remember how His grace was made.

Chorus 

Wisdom is a gift from above,

Pure as light, full of love.

It breathes peace, it sows gentleness,

Mercy for all, in righteousness.

It’s the fruit that grows within the heart—

The way of truth, the sacred start.

Bridge 

You don’t need the whole world’s knowing,

Just a drop from Heaven’s flowing.

For the blood of the Lamb is pure enough—

To fill the soul with endless love.

[James 3:17]

The Whole Truth

Lyrics © 2025 Christopher M. Halecky

—————————————————–

[Verse 1]

Do you promise you’ll tell the truth…

the whole truth…

and nothing but the truth?

We all want to hear those words,

but out here, in this world,

truth is hard to find.

A man may say,

“This is the whole truth,”

but how can you be sure?

There are too many shadows,

too many voices

calling from the dark.

So tell me, friend…

where do you go

to find the real truth?

⭐ [Chorus]

You go to the One who knows you,

the One with the words of life;

You go to the One who speaks the truth—

the whole truth—

and is the Truth inside.

Christ Jesus, Holy God of Truth…

He is the One who guides.

[Verse 2]

Do you trust what you read in print,

or the newsman on the air?

Does a wandering voice reveal your path,

or does a law decide

what your soul should bear?

No… these things won’t save you.

They never reach the heart.

But don’t lose hope, my friend—

There is One who gave His life for you,

so truth could have its start.

He showed the way with mercy…

gave body, blood, and breath…

so we could know the whole truth

that carries us past death.

⸻

⭐ [Final Chorus]

So let it be known forever:

There is only one Truth that stands.

A Truth that shines like morning light,

a Truth held in His hands.

Christ Jesus, Son of the Living God—

the Truth for every man.

[Chant Echo – softly]

…The Truth…

The Whole Truth…

Christ the Savior.

And sing in pouring rain.

My love is more than enough.

Through storm and shadow, I will guide you.

Take My hand—don’t be afraid;

I’ll make a way, I’ll make a way.

When fear surrounds you, I will hold you;

My love will flood the night and fold you.

Stand and breathe—lift up your eyes:

I, the Lord, am for you…

I’ll make a way.
