Certainty 03:35
CERTAINTY VERSE Invade my heart, invade my soul forever All I know is I want to be in Your will You are for me and no one is greater Trial after trial You’re with me still CHORUS And I know I am justified Because my Lord was crucified My body will be be glorified And it’ll be for eternity It’s God’s great certainty VERSE You are my provider, my defender Interceding for me that my faith won’t fail For good You cause all things to work together Mine is a hope resting in Your will Words & Music Jeff Arrandale (Romans 8: 26-39) ©2003 by Jeff Arrandale All Rights Reserved

Our Praise 03:56
OUR PRAISE VERSE Our praise, is not for us Our praise, is only meant for You Our days, are not for us They are numbered to be used by You CHORUS Hallelujah, Hallelujah As we gather in your name Void of any shame to show our love Hallelujah We lift our voice in praise We proclaim You are our God You are the ancient of days VERSE 2 Your ways, are not our ways Your ways, are only known by You All days, run only after You We crave and hunger, thirst only after You © 2006 Jeff Arrandale

NOT HERE FOR ME VERSE Today I’m not here for me Even though I’m broken, hurting, and pained It’s all about Your Kingdom come It’s all about Your Holy Name VERSE 2 Some people they think I’m strong But I can only barely stand I’m standing here, but not for long And only by the strength of Your hand CHORUS With open arms, lifted hands, and down on bended knee I don’t have much, but it’s all Yours, I’m not here for me I am Yours Not here for me VERSE 3 I’m grateful that I know Your Son I know that He died for me Because of Him the war’s been won And I have a Hope to be free VERSE 4 Despite this awful state I’m in I know there’s something I must do I’m letting go of all that’s been I give it up to worship You CHORUS With open arms, lifted hands, and down on bended knee I sing for You, and lift You high, ‘cause I’m not here for me I am Yours Not here for me © 2010 Jeff Arrandale

His Place 04:14
HIS PLACE VERSE He invited us here and we gather in His name In unity under His banner of love We are called to praise His name over and over again Every tribe, every culture and generation CHORUS And we rejoice in His place Because we are in the House of God VERSE 2 Lord, You’ve been our dwelling place since the time of man’s birth Before the mountains were born You brought forth the earth Your hand created the world, the heavens, stars and the skies From everlasting to everlasting You are God BRIDGE You are God We’re in Your house We sing of You To glorify Your name His Place (Psalm 122:1, 90:1-2) Jeff Arrandale © 2006 Jeff Arrandale

STRANGE PLACE VERSE Strange place, don’t know who these people are They have faces I don’t know Strange ways, don’t understand all that they do Still I come (in Your name) for You PRE-CHORUS You call me out for You, So without a doubt it’s what I do CHORUS So they know So they know VERSE 2 Strange road, don’t know where it leads It’s a busy and dusty street Strange bridge over an unnamed stream Through the fields from the north it bleeds VERSE 3 Your Grace, it’s all that is needed here Open eyes, soften hearts, let ‘em hear Just a trace of your Holy Presence here It redeems, it heals, please come near PRE-CHORUS I will be the salt and light in this dance As you shine in the dark so bright it has no chance CHORUS So I go So I go © 2010 Jeff Arrandale

Race 03:39
RACE VERSE Since we are surrounded, by great cloud of witnesses We will throw off everything that hinders Sin so easily entangles, let us run with perseverance The race marked out we follow, with our eyes fixed on Him PRE-CHORUS And the cloud of witnesses watches and cheers us on We will fight the good fight, we will be strong CHORUS We will run, with perseverance We will run, the race laid out before us We will run, with our eyes upon Jesus Seeking Jesus’ face, we will finish the race VERSE 2 We know that He suffered, despite the joy set before Him He endured the cross for us, scorning all its shame Then, we know, He sat down, at the right hand of the Father Can we really fathom, that He took all of our blame? PRE-CHORUS And the cloud of witnesses watches and cheers us on We will fight the good fight, we will be strong CHORUS We will run, with perseverance We will run, the race laid out before us We will run, with our eyes upon Jesus Seeking Jesus’ face, we will finish the race Running with our eyes upon Jesus CHORUS We will run, with perseverance We will run, the race laid out before us We will run, with our eyes upon Jesus Seeking Jesus’ face, we will finish the race Running with our eyes upon Jesus Words and Music by Jeff Arrandale (Hebrews 12: 1 - 3) ©2005 Jeff Arrandale

about

It has long been a dream of Christian singer/songwriter/worshipper Jeff Arrandale to record his original music in Nashville. He got that chance and his debut solo release titled Not Here for Me is the result.

“I couldn’t be happier with this project both spiritually and musically,” says Jeff. “Though I shouldn’t have been, I was surprised by the presence of God in the studio. The musicians and production team, which included Producer/Bassist Art Ward and Grammy Award winning engineer Tom Harding, for the session, were amazing – truly gifted in their talent.”

It is Jeff’s hope that you will be encouraged by this recording - that you will be lifted up and joyful in your worship of Him. And that you will be pointed to Christ in a deeper way.
