Its All Gonna Be Okay 04:03
lyrics
buy track
You don't have to worry You don't have to be afraid Lift this load you carry Its all gonna be okay Its better than bad but it sure ain't good finding it hard to smile when things don't go the way we think they should but I can offer more than I'm sorry than the common phrase thats too bad I can offer more than sympathy leaving you to feel more sad a prayer to the almighty God whose promise is I hear your cry you'll hold you in this time of trial Wiping each tear from your eye You don't have to worry you don't have to be afraid lift this load you carry Its all gonna be okay....

All I Ask 04:10
lyrics
buy track
All I Ask is that You would be my guiding light that lights the way of all I am this day All I Ask Is that Heaven's door would be ajar a little bit so on Your lap I'd sit and smile even for just a little while All I Ask is that when I'd fall I'd feel Your strong arms come and pick me up and when you fill my cup I want to taste the living water that you are To eat from the never ending jar... of your grace. I don't for riches I don't ask for much All that I ask is that I'd feel Your touch that I'd feel Your touch I don't ask for a room with a view Home is where I find You. I don't ask for a way to get there fast to travel a highway and speed on past my call I don't want that at all Cause All I Ask All I Ask All I Ask Is that You would remind me once again That You're my faithful friend All I Ask Is the times that I have fearful doubt and loss of hope That I won't just cope... I'll grow and heal by Your hand and trust my heart to Your command. All I Ask All I Ask

To Know You 03:46
lyrics
buy track
To know you Lord is my desire a raging flood, a burning fire a simple offering to you I give complete abandon the life I live. For none is like you in all the earth compared to riches you have far more worth And I have found the greatest love prepares a place for me with him above. To love completely my heart is soars Jesus take me... I'm all Yours.

Looking Through Your Eyes 04:29
lyrics
buy track
This early morning I have come to You To sort some things out in my head Its amazing to see how You carefully hold me in the palm of Your hand You show me how my ears have been deafened to Your still sweet gentle voice This time I need to learn the lesson of the weight that lies in human choice. Teach me to live looking through Your eyes Teach me to live looking through Your eyes My heart aches for something that You've told me is not mine to take I thought my hands were open in case of this, but these feelings I can't easily shake But You are a good God and Your purposes and plans divine. I know but its true God that at times they seem to be so unkind. Teach me to live looking through Your eyes Teach me to live looking through Your eyes < musical interlude > Teach me to live looking through Your eyes Teach me to live looking through Your eyes

Center Of My World 04:12
lyrics
buy track
Center Of My World Hard to fathom Hard to hold In my mind In my heart so cold I have a hard time standing A hard time moving too Have a hard time living without You The Center of my world Searching for answers, there must be some to find along the way Ginding more questions in all I see... driving me to say What is within me Whats in You? A powerful love A living truth to behold A story of old Revelation, Jubilation, Sanctification So brand New When the Center of my world is You I see first Your Face And oh this place Doesn't seem so complicated... after all And I start to fly like I have the wings of an eagle Up in the sky praying there will be a sequel.. to this day... what I say? The Center Of My World <musical interlude> And I start to fly like I have the wings of an eagle Up in the sky praying there will be a sequel.. to this day... what I say? The Center Of My World

Love Made Right 06:21
lyrics
buy track
Most say "lets carry on til the end, take our chances and lose a friend... Why not let go on whats not supposed to be, not love but hurt you... my friend desert you" So I choose to put a barrier between Won't hug and kiss you cause then I'll miss you I need to be a person, whole, complete before son, who is the right one for me. Oh Love Made Right Doesn't need to put up a fight No No No No Love Made Right Doesn't need to fight To Be Right.... When looking back I see this love was not a sin here's the fact babe You made me grin, made me smile And the times we'd dance oh the times we'd spin, made me wanna be held for quite a while. But something more than longing glances made me stop and not chances. Cause Love Made Right Doesn't need to put up a fight No No No No Love Made Right Doesn't need to fight To Be Right Child.... A bond once made is not easy to break So I need to be sure that you are mine to take For all belongs to God and He holds the plans so I gotta give up whats not in my hands Since you are not the one for me to marry makes me think the one for me must be extraordinary and when I meet him and we grow old I want the story of you and I to be told That Love Made Right Doesn't need to put up a fight No No No No Love Made Right Doesn't need to fight Love Made Right.....

about

These seven songs are tracks from my first CD "Playtime"
It was released in 2002.
I had originally recorded & wrote 15 tracks while I was living in Capetown, South Africa for 11 months. I turned 20 years old while living there.
Now over a decade later, I realize that much of what I learned there provides a compass for my daily decisions & intentions.
This past summer I had the chance to visit with the South African sound engineer Evan Rogers & his wife while they were visiting Los Angeles.
Their visit made me go back and listen to this album that meant so much to me at the time. I hope that this music brings you hope and joy with every listen.
God bless & God speed,
- Adjoa
