Psalm 92 02:52
Based on Psalm 92, a psalm of David for Shabbat It is to good to give thanks to Adonai and to sing your name, O Elyon To the melody of a sounding lyre and to the music of a harp Oh, the foolish cannot know nor the senseless see For the wicked sprout like grass but your joy remains It is to good to give thanks to Adonai and to sing your name, O Elyon To the melody of a sounding lyre and to the music of a harp Tell every morning of his grace faithfulness at night What you make brings joy to us Let your praises rise It is to good to give thanks to Adonai and to sing your name, O Elyon To the melody of a sounding lyre to the music of a harp

Abide with me, fast falls the evening time 
 The darkness deepens Lord be by side
 When other helpers fail and comforts flee
 Help of the helpless, Lord, abide with me
 As I put down the burdens of the day 
You’ll bring renewal in your company 
Change and decay I have no need to fear
 Your love it changes not you’re always
 near Abide with me You know my story and you know my needs There is no silent prayer which you cannot hear I need not worry what my future holds Oh my Provider you are always close

Orbit 03:25
Orbiting 'round the sun planets they dance each one is bathing in its light The moon circle round the world showing its pale face drawn by the gravity of Earth So I go 'round the centre of my life Lord, I orbit around you You who are life itself we bathe in your light dancing in dependency on you So I go 'round the centre of my universe Lord, I orbit around you

And we like stars and seas will glimmer in that knowledge Above the tides of fear we hold to this law Fight fear with love Fight evil with good And we have dared recall above this iron carpet the stars have not forgot who placed them there Fight fear with love Fight evil with good

In the ancient days of Israel as the Friday evening would come people stopped their work gathered at the temple And they sang the psalms of David filled the temple court with song By the glow of a thousand lanterns as a million stars came out In the city of Jerusalem as the Friday light slowly died in the house of God near to the Shekinah And they sang the psalms of David filled the temple court with song By the glow of a thousand lanterns as a million stars came out

I sing a hymn by candlelight the flame is softly glows An evening chill has settled in the window's drawn and closed Now friends and family gather round gather round its glow We read the words of Yeshua and share the bread we have And pray that Yah brings rest to us the Spirit of his love Now friends and family gather round gather round its glow Here we have told stories of old God bless this house Now friends and family gather round gather round its glow

Today I played God hailed myself as king Today I played safe put myself in harm's way Oh Lord, I'm done lusting after your job Tonight I put away this foolish mutiny Today I played God crowned my own ways and thoughts And with gavel in hand dealt out judgements and plans Oh Lord, I'm done lusting after your job Tonight I put away this foolish mutiny Today I let go of my claim to God's throne Oh Lord, I'm done lusting after your job Tonight I put away this foolish mutiny

(Based on Genesis 1) In the beginning God made the heavens and Earth It happened by words he spoke in the beginning In the beginning the Earth it was empty and void The Spirit of God he was over the waters "Let there be light" and there was light In the beginning God made the sun and the moon Light for the day and night in the beginning In the beginning God made the mountains and seas teaming with vibrant life in the beginning "Let there be light" and there was light In the beginning God made the heavens and Earth It happened by words he spoke in the beginning In the beginning God made the heavens and Earth It happened by words he spoke in the beginning "Let us make man in our image"

Read My Need 02:39
I can ask I can want things and people in my life but they're times I have lacked sight to see the better path I need your grace to read my need I can pray I can wish things to happen in my way But they’re times I have lacked wisdom for a better plan I need your grace to read my need I need your grace to read my need I need your grace to read I need your grace to read I need your grace to read my need

Open your door to the stranger Open your door to the stranger you pass Open your door to the stranger you pass For we were strangers too till God called us friends We were strangers too lest we forget Open your arms to the homeless Open your arms to the homeless you pass Open you arms to the homeless you pass For we were homeless too till God called sons We were homeless too till he called us daughters Open your heart to the broken Open your heart to the broken you see Open your heart to the broken Can't you see For He was broken too Jesus was broken for us He was broken too for us For he was broken and he was homeless and he was a stranger Whatever you do to the least of these....

In the evening time as I lay down to rest I know it is true Yeshua is near He who said "I’ll never or forsake you" Do not fear Yeshua is near
12.
The week is over now and you can put your work down all those burdens that you've carried around If rest is what you seek there is one who provides made a sanctuary crafted out of time Shabbat Shalom to you May the peace of God go with you Find your rest in knowing he is God You can take your stress and your failures and wants bring them to his open, every-listening heart He's the wisest place to find strength, hide away And his hands are the safest hands to hold Shabbat Shalom to you May the peace of God go with you Find your rest in knowing he is God Find your rest in God

about

Laylah is a collection of smooth, Christian jazz songs for evening and night time.

Recorded during a concert in England, 2017.

With its mellow, atmospheric, piano-led allure, Christian songwriter Natalie Kendel presents an album reminiscent of the sounds of Norah Jones, Katie Melua, Fernando Ortega, and Eva Cassidy. With velvety vocals and magnetic lyrics, Laylah is the perfect album to put on at the end of the day.

Laylah means "night" in Hebrew.
