Look Out For Love Lyrics by Becky Higg

My baby girl

My baby girl lights up my world, she’s beautiful, she’s beautiful
My baby girl is beautiful
My baby girl lights up my world, my baby girl is beautiful

She’s Anna, sweet gift of love
She’s Joy, beating in my heart
Emmanuelle, God is with us now
And He always will be no matter what

So clap your hands and stamp your feet
Bounce, bounce, dance with me
My baby girl is beautiful
My baby girl lights up my world, my baby girl is beautiful

She's Anna, sweet gift of love
She’s Joy, glowing in my heart
Emmanuelle, God is with us now
And He always will be not matter what

Ma petite fille illumine mon coeur, o elle est belle, o elle est belle
Ma petite fille illumine mon coeur
My baby girl lights up my world, my baby girl is beautiful

Love to me

The amazing red and orange at the top of the tree I see as I sit up in bed is love to me
And the sound of the rain all through that wednesday night, and most of the next day, was love to me
And the fact that there was someone there who understood was love to me
And the fact that they were all so kind and compassionate was love to me, was love to me

So look out for love, it comes your way, in unexpected times and place
Gentle, gentle, gentle, making everything ok
Look out for love, look out for love

Kicking those first autumn leaves in sunshine, September 15th, was love to me
Seeing new strength and maturity, of all people, right here in me, was love to me
And all those hugs and flowers and cards, “you’re in our thoughts and prayers” was love to me
And peace that I cannot explain and secret whispers of his name was love to me, was love to me

Chorus
And peace that I cannot explain and secret whispers of his name
And holding on through all that pain and knowing I’ll never be the same
And brand new solidarity and ever deeper well in me
And unshakable certainty that all is well that all is well
And peace that i cannot explain and secret whispers of his name
Was love to me, was love to me.

Over and over

Isn’t it odd, isn’t it strange, how your perceptions change?
Coz the healing that I hoped for and held out for never came
And the ache is just as real, if not realer than it was back then
And the daily disappointment of this struggle brings such pain
And my heart is breaking over and over again.

Isn’t it odd, isn’t it strange, how your perceptions change?
Coz a different kind of healing and set-freeing creeps in
The kind that leaves you rooted and fruited like a jeremiah tree
The kind that grows the strength inside enough to stand and fight and win
And over and over my heart is running free

My heart is breaking over and over
My heart is breaking over and over

So keep her in her tenderness
Coz this is years of stored up fears and woundedness
And it used to hurt but that was numb compared to this
So keep her in tenderness

Miriam

She’s an extra bolt of joy in the morning, she brings sunshine into my mind
The way she joyfully laughs without warning gives me strength to shake the darkness off and leave it behind

Oh, Miriam, always remember you are beautiful baby
Oh, Miriam, never forget there’s someone good fighting on your side

You invite me into your world with big eyes full of promise and life
Is it the kind of world where you see angels watching over you? Is that what makes you smile so bright?

Anna

Anna you light up my life, I love your kisses and your highfives
I love your clumsy happy racing steps, I love the feel of your breath
On my face, when we snuggle in the afternoon

Anna you light up my life, truly there’s light where there was none before

Kynance Cove

When I look out over Kynance Cove, it wells up in me, that beauty
And it’s almost too much, can the human heart cope? So near perfect, it makes me cry
And I have to look away, and earth myself in things more mundane
That’s enough beauty for one day

Don’t switch it off, plug it in, stay with it, you were made to be moved that way, you were made to fly.

When I hear stories of poverty, it wells up in me that sorrow
And it’s too much, how does the human heart cope? This tragedy makes me cry
And I have to look away, distract myself with things more mundane
That’s enough tragedy for one day

Don’t switch it off, plug it in, stay with it, you were made to be moved that way, you were made to cry.

You were made to wade full into that vibrance, you were made to take it with you
You were made to bandage broken hearts and you were made to free those locked up
To serenade the day with songs of joy and heart colourful and engaged
You were made for something bigger stronger richer deeper brighter
You were made to be a fighter, a carrier of light, a holder-on-tight to what’s right
Made to take flight from evil, made to stand firm and to believe in
Believe in something bigger stronger richer brighter
If you live only for yourself it will destroy you, you were made for more
You were made to glorify and be fully alive

Figure this out

Oh no, not again, another loss, another time of grieving
Another patch of path to walk with heavy steps and learn to hold a
Lightness in my heart despite the sadness
And so, let’s walk, and figure this out.

So now, You’ve got my attention, and if it was Your intention
To leave me brokenhearted and in pieces, half defeated, then I
Know You well enough to know there’s Love behind it
Your Love runs through it
And so, let’s talk, and figure this out.

And so, what it comes down to, is what do I live for, aspire to?
Is it my own comfort, my own protection, personal happiness and satisfaction
Or a pure heart and a clean life that has Love behind it
Love running through it
And so, oh please, let’s figure this out.

Coz whether it’s an everyday
Or a losing Sam day
Or a helium balloon day
I'’e learned the bottom line is that
You want the whole of me, You want the core of me
Love running through it
A “yes Lord!” in my spirit
And so, Oh God, let’s figure this out

Keep believing in Love

You are beautiful and brave
And you bring beauty to this world
I’m sorry that it hurts so much
I’m sorry there'’s no fairytale
I wish that i could fix it all
Just know that i am proud of you
You bring beauty to this world
It’s true, you do.
