Favorite Lyrics....

[kistan]

I am a newbie and i hope this hasnt been done already...but here goes.. Share with everybody some of your favorite praise or worship lyrics (doesnt have to be from your favorite musician)....might just be a pick me up for someone...
for me there are a couple but (even oldies like How great thou art) but presently Nicole's "my redeemer lives" just makes me wanna lift up holy hands on I 95. (not happened)..... an example....

The very same God that spins things in orbit

He runs to the weary, the worn and the weak

And the same gentle hands that hold me when I'm broken

They conquered death to bring me victory




Be blessed...

[happily_married]

These have to be mine.......and yes this has kinda been done but there are so many newbies aboard...it needed to get done again.....I love to sing the word of God and read all the new lyrics......

"I can only imagine what it will be like, when I walk by Your side...
I can only imagine, what my eyes will see, when Your Face is before me!
I can only imagine. I can only imagine.
Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You, be still?
Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing 'Hallelujah!'? Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine! I can only imagine!

I can only imagine, when that day comes, when I find myself standing in the Son.
I can only imagine, when all I will do, is forever, forever worship You!
I can only imagine! I can only imagine!

Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel?

Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You, be still?
Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing 'Hallelujah!'? Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine! Yeah! I can only imagine!

Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel?

Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You, be still?
Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing 'Hallelujah!'? Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine! Yeah! I can only imagine!

I can only imagine! Yeah! I can only imagine!! Only imagine!!!
I can only imagine.

I can only imagine, when all I do is forever, forever worship You!
I can only imagine."

"It is You"
by Peter Furler
Newsboys

As we lift up our hands
Will You meet us here

We have come to this place
To worship You
God of mercy and grace

It is You
We adore
It is You
Praises are for
Only You
The heavens declare
It is You
It is You

And holy, holy is our God almighty
And holy, holy is His name alone, yeah
And holy, holy is our God almighty
And holy, holy is His name alone

It is You
We adore
It is You
Only You

As we lift up our hands
As we call on Your name
Will you visit this place
By Your mercy and grace

[Mackenzie]

Both the songs above are awesome songs :pp :pp :pp

[KingdomBound]

Here's another Neswboys song that I LOVE... it's from Adoration:The Worship Album! :hug:


Father, Blessed Father

Will You take what we have
A sacrifice unto You
Then create clean hands
And, Lord, make our spirits new

Father, blessed Father
Lead and guide us for Your name’s sake
And keep us in the shelter of Your presence
‘Til we see Your face

Let us hear what You say
Let us know Your voice and all of Your ways
Take our hands, lead us home
To the refuge that we find in You alone

All adoration
To our Lord Redeemer
To our Shepherd
Who carries us forevermore

Breathe on me
Breathe, oh, Breath of God
(Breathe, oh, Breath of Life)
Breathe on me
‘Til my heart is new
Oh Lord, oh Lord
‘Til my heart is new

[TorC]

Yes, Nicole C. Mullens' song "Redeemer" is beautiful. It's a great song. You have good taste, kistan! ;) I like a lot of Nicole C. Mullen's songs. They are inspiring.

By the way, has anyone heard of Kelly Minter? She is a fairly new Christian artist and I just heard of her recently (and then got her cd for Christmas ;) ), but she is also really good! I think her cd was produced by Margaret Becker, who is also her spirtual mentor. Man,I need one of those(mentor)! lol....

[miepie]

I love this song, its from Robin Mark, called Be unto Your Name

Be unto your name
We are a moment You are forever
Lord of the ages God before time
We are a vapor You are eternal
Love everlasting reigning on high

Holy holy Lord God Almighty
Worthy is the Lamb Who was slain
Highest praises honor and glory
Be unto Your name
Be unto Your name

We are the broken You are the healer
Jesus Redeemer mighty to save
You are the love song we'll sing forever
Bowing before You blessing Your name

Be unto Your name

and I am a BIG Michael W. Smithfan, and I love the song Purified

Purified
Where the angels see
You are praised as You should be.
But how can I express
My yearning for Your Holiness.
May it be (that)

I will open my heart
Search me in the deepest part.
And I will stand in cleansing fire,
By You, purified,
By You I'm purified.

Savior of my soul
To your strength I yield control.
Purge me of my stain
Sin will lose it's mortal reign.
Make me free (and)

I will open my heart
Search me in the deepest part.
And I will stand in cleansing fire,
By You, purified,
By You I'm purified.

You are Holy

I will open my heart
Search me in the deepest part.
And I will stand in cleansing fire,
By You, purified,
By You I'm purified.

You are Holy

Love you,
Mieke :kiss:

[ejant]

There are many songs that I love.
There is one in particular that I can never hear enough of;

Amazing Grace.

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound!
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
was blind, but now I see.

Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear,
the hour I first believed!

Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come.
Tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.

When we've been there ten thousand years,
bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's grace,
than when we first begun.

[KingdomBound]

I LOVE Amazing Grace! That has definitely gotta be one of my favorites! :)

This is another awesome song by Newsboys from their Thrive Album.

Rescue

Old as the hills, new everyday
It's in the bones like it's DNA
First taste is sweet 'til it rots in your mouth
Another old friend who rats you out
All of the time in this life
Can't loose the ties that bind
They shackle our feet, we trip, we fall
We crawl
I was born in the mess of it all

Then You rescued me, rescued me
Lord, with a touch of Your hand
Another captive free again
Who else in heaven could do this but You?
You rescued me, rescued me
Lord, with a love out of mind
Oh, You know I love it when
Everyday I am rescued again

Over the years your nature's way
Is turning wrongs into roles you play
Caught in a spell that's overcast
You gain perspective, it doesn't last
All of the time in this life
Can't loose the ties that blind you
They're new everyday, old as the fall
The fall
And I was born in the mess of it all

Then You rescued me, rescued me
Lord, with a touch of Your hand
Another captive free again
Who else in heaven could do this but You?
You rescued me, rescued me
Lord, with a love out of mind
Oh, You know I love it when
Everyday I am rescued again

Every day, every way, every
Every cheap imitation
All of my imagination
Even my self-preservation
Is yours in time

You rescued me, rescued me
Lord, with a touch of Your hand
Another captive free again...


Music by Peter Furler / Lyrics by Peter Furler, Steve Taylor and Phil Joel

[Ta-An]

Let Your living waters flow over my soul
let Your Holy Spirit come and take control of evrey situation that has troubled my mind.

Jesus, Holy Jesus, Jesus

[Chuck]

Jason Upton makes some wonderful music! He truly speaks from the spirit.
In one song he is talking about the change this generation is going to make and he says,

"even their shadows are gonna heal people, even their shadows are gonna set people free!"

I love the imagery.

I don't know that many people know about him but you can visit his site and sample some music at http://www.jasonupton.com/

[SammeyDW]

This song is the song my soul sings. It maybe a little old but it is still full of meaning.

I Love You Lord
Words and music by Laurie Klein

(Chorus)
I love you, Lord
And I lift my voice
To worship You
Oh, my soul rejoice!
Take joy my King
In what You hear
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear

Repeat Chorus

I love you, Lord...

[God'schild]

Here's mine favorite Hymn:

We Come This Far By Faith

We've come this far by faith, Leaning on the Lord: Trusting his holy
Word, He's never failed me yet. Oh can't turn around, We've come this far by faith.

1. Don't be discouraged when trouble's in your life He'll bear
your burdens and move all misery and strife. That's why we've
come this far buy faith.

2. Just the other day I heard someone say
He didn't believe in God's word;
But I can truly say that God's had made a way,
And He's never failed me yet.
That's why we've....

We sing this at my chruch once in a while I like it every much.

On November 14th of 2003, my 4 yr old daughter passed away. She had had respiratory problems and seizures her entire life, and on that morning when we went into her room, she had stopped breathing. The paramedics got her heart started and rushed her to the ER, but she only made it a few hours longer. We feel that God blessed us with those hours as all of her family who loved her were able to come and say their goodbyes. During the entire morning, the song that kept playing over and over in my wife's and my heads was "Jesus, What a Beautiful Name." When it looked like she was slipping away and wasn't going to make it, the Dr. let my wife hold her in a rocking chair. My wife sang Cori this song while she was entering God's Kingdom. It was quite a powerful moment. Later that night, we were again struck by God's awesome power and timing. We were watching a video of her birth. They let us play music in the birthing room, and this song was playing at the exact moment she came into the world. Needless to say, this song is very special to us.

Jesus, What A Beautiful Name

Jesus, what a beautiful name
Son of God, Son of Man
Lamb that was slain
Joy and peace, strength and hope
Grace that blows all fear away
Jesus, what a beautiful name

Jesus, what a beautiful name
Truth revealed, my future sealed
Healed my pain
Love and freedom, life and warmth
Grace that blows all fear away
Jesus, what a beautiful name

Jesus, what a beautiful name
Rescued my soul, my stronghold
Lifts me from shame
Forgiveness, security, power and love
Grace that blows all fear away
Jesus, what a beautiful name

[Jai]

One of my favorite songs.. "Around Me" by Jennifer Knapp:
If all the worlds were scattered and
I found my way to here
Then how could I love You
The way that I love You

Big sky and a silver moon, the
Apple of Your eye
How can I explain it?
How can I maintain this

My tenderness evolving
Your faithfulness revolving
Around me
Angels in their glory
Regaling of Your story
Around me
Around me

One big bang, an atom I?
O how'd I come to me
Whittled from a bone is
Harder to believe

Hope in things I cannot see, I
Know that You will come
Seasons quickly turning
Quickly You're returning

My tenderness evolving
Your faithfulness revolving
Around me
Angels in their glory
Regaling of Your story
Around me
Around me

Treat me with an alibi so
All my friends will wonder why I
Have immortal favor
The KING He gives me favor

That song is soooooo pretty, I love the "The Way I Am" CD :)

[Mackenzie]

All the angels exalt you high
What a kingdom to depart
But you left your throne in the sky
Just to live in side my heart.

Third Day – Consuming Fire

[Shmuckboy]

My favorite lyrics are by many secular bands. They discuss the pain they live in, the pain without Christ. It reassures me everyday that I am truly blessed.

[Child]

Ditto what Schmuckboy said. Linkin Park have some touching lyrics which remind me exactly how it feels to not know Christ:

When this began
I had nothing to say
And I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me
I was confused
And I'd let it all out to find
That I'm not the only person with these things in mind
Inside of me
But all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I've got left to feel
Nothin' to lose
Just stuck
Hollow and alone
And the fault is my own
And the fault is my own

I wanna heal
I wanna feel
What I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long
Erase all the pain 'til it's gone
I wanna heal
I wanna feel
Like I am close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I Belong

As for Christian lyrics, this is what comes to mind at the moment:

You are beautiful beyond description,
Too marvelous for words.
Too wonderful for comprehension,
Like nothing ever seen or heard.
Who can grasp your infinite wisdom?
Who can fathom the depth of your love?
You are beautiful beyond description,
Majesty enthroned above!

And I stand, I stand in awe of you.
I stand, I stand in awe of you.
Holy God to whom all praise is due,
I stand in awe of you.

There are so many more lyrics I'd love to share with you, but I think this'll do for today. ;) I may be back another day though...

[proseuche]

Hello, nice people. :)

I like almost anything by Mercy Me. The song of theirs I find myself humming *this* week is "There's a Reason" from the album "Spoken For." Like most of their songs, it is beautiful and uplifting:


Now's the time
Let the redeemed celebrate
If you know what I know
You can't wipe the smile off your face
Oh people, stand up and praise!

There's a reason to dance
There's a reason to sing
Of the sacred romance
With our Savior and King
We lift up our hands
We fall on our knees
To the Son of Man
The reason we are free
There's a reason

All glory to
The King of Kings, Lord of Lords
Oh, the value of Your worth
No worldly treasures can afford
And we praise You forevermore
There's a reason to stand
There's a reason to shout, to shout Your name on high
So we take up our cross, there's a reason to die
Because Jesus is alive!


I just have to shout, "AMEN!" We delight in the Lord. We live and die for the Lord. :pp

Ed

P.S.: Their album "Almost There" is excellent also.

Remember Surrender
- Sara Groves

Remember surrender
Remember the rest
Remember that weight lifting off of your chest
And realizing that it's not up to you and it never was

Remember surrender
Remember relief
Remember how tears rolled down both of your cheeks
As the warmth of a heavenly father came closing in
I want to do that again
Why can't I live there
And make my home
In sweet surrender
I want to do so much more than remember

Remember surrender
Remember peace
Remember how soundly you fell fast asleep
In the face of your troubles your future still shone like the morning sun

Remember surrender
Remember that sound
Of all of those voices dying down
But one who speaks clearly of helping and healing you deep within
I want to do that again
Why can't I live there
And make my home
In sweet surrender
I want to do so much more than remember

Remember
Oh surrender
I want to do that again
Oh why can't I live there and make my home
In sweet surrender
I want to do so much more than remember

Remember
Remember surrender
Remember the rest
Remember that weight lifting off of your chest
And realizing that it's not up to you and it never was

[Child]

I just love this song, I requested it sung at my baptism:

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This cornerstone, This solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My comforter, my all in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Til he returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

So wonderful and so true! :pp

[Waiting4Him]

People Get Ready…Jesus is Comin’
written by Bryan Ray/Dan Posthuma


Lord I’m ready now

I’m waiting for Your triumphant return

You’re coming so soon

This world has nothing for me

I find my peace and joy solely in You

Only in You

I want the world to see that

You’re alive and living well in me

Let me be a part of the harvest

For the days are few

He’s coming soon


People get ready

Jesus is comin’

Soon we’ll be going home

People get ready

Jesus is coming

To take from the world His own


There will be a day

When we will be divided right and left

For those who know Him

And those who do not know

Those who know Him well

Will meet Him in the air

Hallelujah

God is with us

Those who do not know

They will hear "Depart, I knew you not"

For my friends you see

There will be a day when we’ll be counted

So know Him well, know Him well

Repeat chorus

[Child]

My Lord, what love is this?
That pays so dearly
That I, the guilty one,
May go free!

Amazing love!
Oh, what sacrifice!
The Son of God,
Given for me.
My debt he pays,
And my death he dies,
That I might live,
That I might live!

And so, they watched Him die,
Despised, rejected,
But, oh! The blood he shed
Flowed for me!

Amazing love!
Oh, what sacrifice!
The Son of God,
Given for me.
My debt he pays,
And my death he dies,
That I might live,
That I might live!

And now, this love of Christ
Shall flow like rivers.
Come wash your guilt away,
Live again!

Amazing love!
Oh, what sacrifice!
The Son of God,
Given for me.
My debt he pays,
And my death he dies,
That I might live,
That I might live,
That I might live!

THANK YOU, Lord! :pp

[Agnus_Dei]

4 Him - Greatest Story Ever Told

When I was a child
I heard a great story
Of kingdoms and empires
And prophets of old
Of heroes and martyrs
Who died for their cause
And through every chapter
The story was told
Of redemption and love
Sometimes written in red
Headed right to the heart
Of every woman and man

CHORUS
And down through the ages
Again and again
It's the greatest story ever told
Straight from the pages
From beginning to end
It's the greatest story ever told
Wise could never begin to explain
The measure of grace
This wonderous book holds
It's more than a fable
Or and old fairy tale
It's the greatest, greatest story ever told

For thousands of years
This pearl of great wisdom
Has weathered through changes
And lasted through wars
Many a doubter
Has risen and fallen
Built the story had never once
Abandoned it's course
For the author still speaks
To the listening ones
Through the voices of men
And through the pages
The pages of love

REPEAT CHORUS

This world that we live in could never contain
The wealth of compassion
This wondrous book holds
It's more than a fable or an old fairy tale
It's the greatest, greatest story ever told


This is one of my favorite songs :D .

4 Him - The King And I

The sun is rising and once again
The morning finds me on my knees
On the days horizon I have got
An invitation to see the King
Far away from the worries that weigh me down
I am taken to holy ground
To the place where mercy and love abounds
There in the midst of His throne
I know in my heart this is where I belong

CHORUS
Where the King and I go walking together
Side by side in a Heavenly place
Unaware of time in the land of forever
There in his Kingdom of Grace
Nobody just the King and I

Oh the pace of living somehow can make
The strongest man grow weak at times
But I'll never give in this race I'm running
Leaves no room for compromise
So I set my course for the path of faith
On my knees I'm ready to pray
It is then and there that I'm caught away
Into the midst of his throne
I know in my heart this is where I belong

REPEAT CHORUS

So I set my course for the path of faith
On my knees I'm ready to pray
It is then and there that I'm caught away
Into the midst of His Throne
I know in my heart this is where I belong


In Christ,
Clayburn.

[KingdomBound]

You Are My King (Amazing Love)

I’m forgiven because You were forsaken
I’m accepted, You were condemned
I’m alive and well, Your Spirit is within me
Because You died and rose again

Amazing love, how can it be
That You, my King, should die for me?
Amazing love, I know it’s true
It’s my joy to honor You
In all I do, to honor You

You are my King
You are my King
Jesus, You are my King
You are my King

engish version


, come, friend, let's greet the bride,
the Sabbath Presence bring inside.

"Keep" and "Remember" in a sole command
the solitary G~d did us command
"I AM!" is one, the Name is one,
in name, in splendor, and in praise.

O, come

Toward the Sabbath, come, make haste,
for she has every blessing's taste,
ordained at first, and long ago,
the last thing made, the first in mind.

O, come

O, Sovereign's abode, O, holy, regal town,
rise up, emerge, where once cast down,
enough of sitting in the vale of tears,
G~d pities you, yes you G~d spares.

O, come?

Be stirred, rise up, throw off the dust,
my people, don your clothes of eminence,
by hand of Bethle'mite Jesse's child,
draw near my soul, redeem it, too.

O, come

Arouse yourself, arouse yourself,
your light has come, arise and shine,
awake, awake, pour forth your song,
on you now shines the Glorious One.

O, come

Don't be abashed, don't be ashamed,
why be downcast, why do you sigh?
In you my people's poor find shade,
a city rebuilt where her ruins lay.

O, come

Your robbers shall be robbed themselves,
all your devourers will be removed,
your G~d rejoices at your side,
the joy of a bridegroom with his bride.

O, come

To right and left you shall burst forth,
revering G~d, to south and north,
by hand of one from Peretz's line,
we shall rejoice and find delight.

O, come
O, come in peace, O divine crown,
with joy, rejoicing, and with mirth,
amid the faithful, loved by G~d,
come in, O bride, come in, O bride!

O, come, my friend, let's greet the bride,
the Sabbath Presence bring inside.

[AbiYah]

How lovely are your tenst, O Jacob,
Your dwelling places, O Israel,
In your abundan lovingkindness, O G~d, let me enter Your house,
reverently to worship in Your holy temple.
Adonai, I love Your house, the place where Your glory dwells.
So I would worship with humility, I would seek the blessing in the
presence of G~d, my Maker.
To You, then, Adonai, does my prayer go forth.
May this be a time of joy and favor.
In Your great love, O G~d, answer me with Your saving truth.

I don't know the title =T.T=

How many times have I turned away?
The number is the same
As the sand on the shore
But every time, you've taken me back
And now I pray you'll do it once more.

Please take from me my life,
When I don't have the strength
To give it away to you.
Please take from me my life,
When I don't have the strength
To give it away to you Jesus.

How many times have I turned away?
The number is the same
As the stars in the sky
But every time, you've taken me back
And now I pray you'll do it tonight.

Please take from me my life,
When I don't have the strength
To give it away to you.
Please take from me my life,
When I don't have the strength
To give it away to you Jesus.

If it's already been posted, um whoops. I replied really quick to this one =^.^=

I have so many favourates. It dependes on how I'm feeling inside, but hear are two that I like the most. The first one is "I can only imagine" ;) and this is the other:

Pour my love on you. (Phillips, Craig and Dean)
I dont know how to say exactly how I feel
and I can't begin to tell you what your love has meant,
I'm lost for words

Is there a way to show the passion in my heart?
Can express how truely great I think you are?
Lord, this is my desire, to pour my love on you

Like oil apon your feet,
like wine for you to drink,
like water from my heart,
I'll pour my love on you,

If praise is like perfume
I'll lavish mine on you
'till every drop is gone,
I'll pour my love on you.

(repeat the second verse and the chorus)

If We Are The Body


It's crowded in worship today
As she slips in trying to fade into the faces
The girls teasing laughter is carrying farther than they know
Farther than they know

CHORUS
But if we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing?
Why aren't His words teaching?
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
There is a way

A traveler is far away from home
He sheds his coat and quietly sinks into the back row
The weight of their judgmental glances
Tells him that his chances are better out on the road

CHORUS
Jesus paid much too high a price
For us to pick and choose who should come
And we are the body of Christ

CHORUS
Jesus is the way



Voice Of Truth




Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes to climb out of this boat I'm in
On to the crashing waves

To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He's holding out His hand

But the waves are calling out my name and they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again, "Boy, You'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story
The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
With just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out my name and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again, "Boy, You'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story
The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth

But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves aren't looking so high
From on top of them lookin' down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me

Repeat Chorus

I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth


Who Am I




Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my eevr wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours

[TorC]

Good song, catfriedrice! Do you have their cd? I think it's alright, but that's my favorite song. :)

[catfriedrice]

yea, I have their CD, I also went to their concert back last weekend

[Trying2BHumble]

Parts of one of my favorites...

Lord I lift your name on high.
Lord I love to sing your praises.
I'm so glad you're in my life.
I'm so glad you came to save us.

You came from Heaven to Earth
To show the way.
From the Earth to the Cross
My debt to pay.
From the cross to the grave
From the grave to the sky
Lord I lift your name on high.

[Debra R]

I love all the songs that have been posted, they are so awesome! :pp

I have only recently heard the one by Casting Crowns " If We Are The Body" That is an awesome song! That is also the cry of my heart.

I want to share this song that meant so much to me by Kathy Troccoli when I was going through a time of darkness and struggling for peace.
It seemed to be a life line I held on to, the words of that song.
"He will make a way" And you know what, He did. And gave me peace and joy unspeakable.
Jesus truly is the healer of all that is broken and He will make a way!




Artist: Kathy Troccoli
Album: Corner Of Eden
Title: He Will Make a Way

I know that you're discouraged

But you're not alone

There is absolutely no situation

Out of His control

One door may close

Another will open

Jesus is healer of all that is broken



He will make a way

Where there is no way

He will bring His peace

Where there is no peace


Watch Him put together

What's been torn apart

He can soften up the most

Hardened of hearts


He will make a way

Where there is no way



Don't you go believin' lies

He's not forgotten you

There's gonna be another

Higher, greater place He will take you to

Watch Him move mountains

Ride you through the waves

He can deliver in the darkest of days


He will make a way

Where there is no way

He will bring His peace

where there is no peace


There is no war

He doesn't win

When you're at your end

He's just beginning



He will make a way

Where there is no way



Our only hope is in Him

No matter what this life can bring

Jesus stands alone

As the God of impossible things



He will make a way

Where there is no way

He will bring His peace

where there is no peace



Watch Him move mountains

Ride you through the waves

He can deliver in the darkest of days


He will make a way

Where there is no way

He will bring His peace

where there is no peace



God bless.
Love in Christ,
Debra

[catfriedrice]

Newsboys: He reigns

It's the song of the redeemed
Rising from the African plain
It's the song of the forgiven
Drowning out the Amazon rain
The song of Asian believers
Filled with God's holy fire
It's every tribe, every tounge, every nation
A love song born of a grateful choir

[Chorus- Two Times]
It's all God's children singin'
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns

Let it rise above the fore-winds
Caught up in the heavenly sound
Let praises echo from the towers of cathedrals
To the faithful gathered underground
Of all the songs sung from the dawn of creation
Some were meant to persist
Of all the bells rung from a thousand steaples
None rings truer than this

[Chorus- Four Times]

And all the powers of darkness
Tremble at what they've just heard
Cause all the powers of darkness
Can't drown out a single word

[Chorus until the end]
When all God's children sing out
Glory Glory Hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns

All God's children sing out
Glory Glory Hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns

All God's people sing out
Glory Glory Hallelujah
He Reigns, He reigns
(back to original chorus)

[Shmuckboy]

!WARNING!
These lyrics are not Christian Lyrics at all.

These are the lyrics to Tool's song opiate. The reason I am posting them is because they give direct insight to MUCH of the worlds perspective on us. It is an ignorant view but it directly concerns us because we need to overcome the worlds view to show them what being a Christian is truly about. We need to know the enemy in order to fight it. That is why these lyrics are some of my favorite.

Opiate

Choices always were a problem for you.
What you need is someone strong to guide you.
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow,
what you need is someone strong to use you...
like me,
like me.

If you want to get your soul to heaven,
trust in me.
Don't judge or question.
You are broken now,
but faith can heal you.
Just do everything I tell you to do.
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow.
Let me lay my holy hand upon you.

My God's will
becomes me.
When he speaks out,
he speaks through me.
He has needs
like I do.
We both want
to ra*pe you.

Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life.
Open my eyes and blind me with your light
and your lies.

[cbalke]

My current favorite song to listen to is Creed by Third Day. Man, when they sing, "on the third day He was raised again," and the crowd goes nuts it brings tears to my eyes every time! Awesome stuff!

[Debra R]

I love Third Day! :pp

And this is an awesome song....



Arise My Love
Newsong

Not a word was heard at the tomb that day.
Just shuffling of soldiers feet as they guarded the grave.
One day, two days, three days had past.
Could it be that Jesus breathed his last?

Could it be that his Father had forsaken him?
Turned his back on his son, dispising our sin.
Oh hell seemed to whisper, "Just forget it, He's dead."
Then the Father looked down to his son and he said..

Arise, My love.
Arise, My love.
The grave no longer has a hold on you
No more death sting
No more suffering
Arise...Arise...my love.

The Earth trembled and the tomb began to shake, and like lightening from Heaven
The stone was rolled away.
And the dead men and guards they all stood there in fright
As the power of love displayed its might
And suddenly a melody filled the air
Riding wings of wind, it was everywhere
The words of creation had been proved.
The sweet sound of victory, so loud and clear.

Arise, my love.
Arise, my love.
The grave no longer has a hold on you.
No more death sting no more suffering
Arise...arise....my love.

Sin, where are your shackles?
Death, where is your sting?
Hell; has been defeated. The grave will not hold, the king.

Arise, my love.
Arise, my love.
Arise....Arise....


:pp :pp :pp

[cbalke]

I think I heard that on the radio one day! I always wondered who that was by...now I have to go see if I can find their cd.... :) Thanks!

[SereneGrannyBrat]

Some of the lyrics ya'll have posted have brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful.

One of my favorites is an old hymn:

Great is Thy Faithfulness

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee.
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.

Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy Faithfulness, Lord unto me.

Summer and winter and spring-time and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide,
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside.
---------------------------------
I Don't Belong

It's not home
Where men sell their souls and the taste of power is sweet
Where wrong is right and the neighbors fight
While the hungry are dying in the streets
Where the kids are abused and women are used
And the weak are crushed by the strong
Nations gone mad; Jesus is sad
And I don't belong.

I don't belong
And I'm going home someday home to my own native land.
I don't belong
And it seems like I hear the sound of a "Welcome Home" band.
I don't belong
I'm a foreigner here singing a sojourner's song.
I've always known this place ain't home
And I don't belong.

Don't belong
But while I'm here I'll be living like I've nothing to lose.
And while I breathe I'll just believe
My Lord is gonna see me through.
I'll not be deceived by earth's make -believe
I'll close my ears to her siren song
By praising His name I'm not ashamed
Cause I don't belong.

I belong to a Kingdom of Peace where only love is the law
Where children lead and captives are freed
And God becomes a baby on the straw
Where dead men live and rich men give
Their kingdoms to buy back a song
Where sinners like me become royalty
And we'll all belong.

Yes I belong
And I'm going someday, home to my own native land
Where I'll belong
And it seems like I hear the sound of a "Welcome Home" band.
Yes, I'll belong
No foreigner there singing a sojourner's song
I've always known I'm going home
Where I belong
Yes I've always known this place ain't home
And I don't belong.
-----------------------------
And I don't have the lyrics to all of this one, just the end part:

They say that Heaven's pretty
And living here is, too
But if I have to choose between the two
I'll go Home....where I belong.

Hugs,
Teresa, the Misfit Christian

[crazycheetah]

Here's one that I've currently listened to over and over... something about it just keeps catching me into it... not sure what yet, but I figured I'd post it here on this thread :P



You're Everything
by David Crowder Band


You're everything
I could want
That I could need
If I could see
You want me
Could I believe?
'Cause You're perfectly
All I want, all I need
If I could just feel You're touch
Could I be free?
Why do You shine so?
Can a blind man see?
Why do You call?
Do You beckon me?
Can the dear hear the voice of love?
Would You have me come?
Can the cripple run?
Are You the one?

Chorus:
To raise me up
From this grave
Touch my tongue
And then I'll sing
Heal my limbs
Then joyfully I'll run to You [2x]

Outro:
'Cause You're everything [4x]
And I'm alive and I'll sing
And I'm alive and I'm free [6x]

[Katatonic]

These are lyrics by the Christian metal band Extol. They blew me away the first time I heard this album:

Ember


There is a fire to light a sleeping heart
A wish to see the spirit take control

Crush the chains that hold you down
And let yourself be filled with fire
Wake up and realize the dream you've lived
Was set up by the liar

A broken heart, a kneeling soul
The spirit will set you on fire
To give you strength to reach the ones
Who search the truth with a deep desire

Crucifixion of the ego
Death and burial of the old

Crush the chains that hold you down
And let yourself be filled with fire
A broken heart, a kneeling soul
The spirit will set you on fire

There is no spiritual authority
Outside obedience to God

A broken heart is needed to reach this state
Divine encounter with the living God

[karenmot]

My life is like a racing car
Hurtling towards the wall
At the speed of sound
My time has been so finely tuned
But I've never seen a human being
So tightly wound
At times it seems beyond belief
I just need a bit of relief
Like a war-weary soldier
Marching up and over the edge
Take my hand and pull me up
'Cause I'm falling too fast
Somehow I've lost my way
I'm crying save me


Can you hear me
I'm calling out
I'm crying out
A cry for love
I can feel you
You're touching me
You're healing me
My cry for love

I will be the first to admit
I don't have the strength to handle it
Alone anymore
I don't have to fret don't have to explain
All my worrying's in vain
I'm not alone anymore
Why is this so hard to believe
What's mine is mine to freely receive
Like the changing of seasons
This is the beauty of the word
And for all that I have seen and heard
Oh I want to come home
Somehow I'll make my way
My way home to you

Can you hear me
I'm calling out
I'm crying out
A cry for love
I can feel you
You're touching me
You're healing me
My cry for love

Oh Father hear my call
I know you will catch when I fall
Oh I pray that you'll hold me now
Hold me
And take my fear away

I'm crying save me
Oh I know that you can hear me
Hear me crying out for love
Oh I know that you can feel my cry for love


I can hear you
You're calling out
You're crying out
A cry for love
I can feel you
You're touching me
You're healing me
My cry for love

Michael W. Smith

[Ta-An]

karenmot, you just triggered a song in my head with this,,,,

I only know a little bit of it...

I can feel You
Flowing through me
Come Lord Jesus
And lift me up.......
Come and lift me up.

[karenmot]

ACCM, I think I know that song...


COME AND FILL ME UP

I can feel You flowing through me,
Holy Spirit, come and fill me up,
Come and fill me up.

Love and mercy fill my senses,
I am thirsty for Your presence, Lord,
Come and fill me up.

Lord, let Your mercy wash away all of my sin.
Fill me completely with Your love, once again.

I need You,
I want You,
I love Your presence.

I need You,
I want You,
I love Your presence.

[KingdomBound]

Adoration: The Worship Album/Newsboys

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

If I rise on wings of dawn
Or drift in seas of doubt
Even there Your strong right hand
Has never failed to guide me out

Great is Your faithfulness
To carry on with a sinner like me
Great is Your faithfulness
Turning shame into victory
Your grace has never let me be
Your mercy’s waited patiently
Oh, so great is Your faithfulness
To carry on with a sinner like me

If I hide in dark and shadows
Fearful of each day
Even there Your blinding light
Illuminates my pathway

Lord, Your Goodness
Goodness never
Never fails
It never fails me

[TorC]

Phillips, Craig and Dean - Here I Am To Worship Lyrics

Album: Let Your Glory Fall
Lyrics:
Light of the world
You stepped out into darkness
Opened my eyes, let me see
Beauty that made this heart adore you
Hope of a life spent with You

CHORUS
Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely,
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me

King of all days
Oh so highly exalted
Glorious in heaven above
Humbly You came to the earth You created
All for love's sake became poor

CHORUS

I just think these are simple, yet beautiful lyrics for a praise/worship song.

[Debra R]

I love this too by Phillips, Craig & Dean


You are God in heaven

And here am I on earth

So I'll let my words be few

Jesus, I am so in love with You


And I'll stand in awe of You, Jesus

Yes, I'll stand in awe of You

And I'll let my words be few

Jesus, I am so in love with You


The simplest of all love songs

I want to bring to You

So I'll let my words be few

Jesus, I am so in love with You


And I'll stand in awe of You, Jesus

Yes, I'll stand in awe of You

And I'll let my words be few

Jesus, I am so in love with You

[Debra R]

Fernando Ortega

Lord of Eternity




Blessed is the man
Who walks in Your favor
Who loves all Your words

And hides them like treasure

In the darkest place

Of his desperate heart,

They are a light

A strong, sure light.


Sometimes I call out Your name

But I cannot find You.

I look for Your face,

But You are not there.

By my sorrows, Lord,

Lift me to You,

Lift me to Your side.


Chorus:

Lord of Eternity,

Father of mercy,

Look on my fainting soul.

Keeper of all the stars,

Friend of the poorest heart

Touch me and make me whole.


If You are my defender,

Who is against me?

No one can trouble or harm me

If You are my strength .

All I ask, all I desire

Is to live in Your house all my days.
repeat chorus

[Debra R]

Here's one more :)

Casting Crowns

WHAT IF HIS PEOPLE PRAYED

What if the armies of the Lord
Picked up and dusted off their swords
Vowed to set the captives free
And not let satan have one more

What if the church, for heaven's sake
Finally stepped up to the plate
Took a stand upon God's promise
And stormed hell's rusty gates

Chorus:
What if His people prayed
And all who bare His name
Would humbly seek His face
And Turn from their own way

And what would happen if we prayed
For those raised up to lead the way
Then maybe kids in school could pray
And unborn children see light of day

What if the life that we pursue
Came from a hunger for the truth
What if the family turned to Jesus
Stopped asking Oprah what to do

He said that they would hear
His promise has been made
He'll answer loud and clear
If only we would pray

If My people called by My name
If they'll humble themselves and pray
If My people called by My name
If they'll humble themselves and pray



Song based on 2 Chronicles 7:14

[jesusfreak]

If you heard the song you would prorbaly not know what they were saying...


MxPx - Weak

Light my path show me the way
filter everything i say
try to forgive try to forget
why do i do what i regret?
my flesh nature won't abide
its ripping me apart inside
Jesus pulls me back together
my soul will be with him forever
can't get away from bitterness
can't seem to lose my selfishness
my faith in father God
cause i am weak and he is strong!

[Ambie]

I have a couple of songs I totally love....

Praise Adonai-

Who is like Him? The lion and the Lamb
Seated on the Throne
Mountains Bow Down, Every Ocean roars
To the Lord of Hosts

Praise Adonai
From the Rising of the Sun
To the end of every Day
Praise Adonai
All the nations of the Earth
All the angels and the Saints
Sing Praise...

And there's another one....This one is by Chris DuPre

Dance with me, Oh lover of my soul,
To the Song of all Songs
Romance Me, Oh Lover Of my soul
To the Song of all Songs

Behold you have come,
Upon the hills, Over the mountains,
To me you have come,
My Beloved You've captured My heart....

[Debra R]

These are two more of my favorites by Newsong, I have this album.

Artist: Newsong
Album: Sheltering Tree
Title: Wide Open

HEAVEN'S GATE WERE CLOSED AND THERE SEEMED TO BE NO HOPE
FOR FALLEN MAN
WE WERE PRISONERS OF OUR SIN, WITH NO WAY TO ENTER IN
BUT GOD HAD A PLAN
THE FATHER KNEW THERE HAD TO BE A PERFECT SACRIFICE
SO JESUS CAME, A CROSS WAS RAISED AND WHEN HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE


CHORUS:
WIDE OPEN, WIDE OPEN, THEY NAILED HIS ARMS WIDE OPEN
AFTER THREE DAYS IN A COLD GRAVE, THE POWER OF SIN WAS BROKEN
NOW WITH OUTSTRETCHED ARMS HE WELCOMES IN
EVERYONE WHO TRUSTS IN HIM,
HIS NAIL-SCARRED HANDS HOLD HEAVEN'S GATES WIDE OPEN

FOR SO LONG MY EYES WERE CLOSED, I COULDN'T SEE A WAY OF HOPE
FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME
AND IN MY DESPAIR I CRIED THERE'S GOT TO BE MORE TO THIS LIFE
LORD HELP ME PLEASE
AND THE FATHER SAID, THERE HAD TO BE A PERFECT SACRIFICE
THAT'S WHY JESUS CAME, A CROSS WAS RAISED, AND HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE


CHORUS:
WIDE OPEN, WIDE OPEN, THEY NAILED HIS ARMS WIDE OPEN
AFTER THREE DAYS IN A COLD GRAVE, THE POWER OF SIN WAS BROKEN
NOW WITH OUTSTRETCHED ARMS HE WELCOMES IN
EVERYONE WHO TRUSTS IN HIM,
HIS NAIL-SCARRED HANDS HOLD HEAVEN'S GATES WIDE OPEN
Bridge:
FOR EVERY WEARY HEART THAT ACHES
FOR EVERY DREAM THIS WORLD WILL BREAK
THERE'S A PROMISE IN ITS PLACE, GOD HAS MADE A WAY

CHORUS:
WIDE OPEN, WIDE OPEN, THEY NAILED HIS ARMS WIDE OPEN
AFTER THREE DAYS IN A COLD GRAVE, THE POWER OF SIN WAS BROKEN
NOW WITH OUTSTRETCHED ARMS HE WELCOMES IN
EVERYONE WHO TRUSTS IN HIM,
HIS NAIL-SCARRED HANDS HOLD HEAVEN'S GATES WIDE OPEN


Defining Moment

THERE COMES A TIME IN EVERY HEART A TIME OF REAL DECISION
WHEN WE REACH THE POINT OF CHOOSING HOW WE WILL LIVE OUR LIVES
ALL OUR HOPES, ALL OUR DREAMS WILL RISE UP FROM THAT MOMENT
THE MOMENT WE SURRENDER AND CHOOSE TO FOLLOW CHRIST
HE'S BEEN WAITING ALL OUR LIVES TO HEAR US SAY
>I AM YOURS, LORD, TAKE MY HAND AND LEAD THE WAY<

CHORUS:
WHEN YOU BELIEVE HE'S ALL YOU NEED
THAT WILL BE YOUR DEFINING MOMENT
AS YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE WALKING IN HIS LIGHT TRUSTING HIM COMPLETELY
THAT WILL BE, THAT WILL BE YOUR DEFINING MOMENT

ALL I HAVE, ALL I AM IS RESTING IN HIS PROMISE
THE PROMISE THAT HE'LL MAKE ME EVERYTHING THAT I SHOULD BE
I WILL LIVE, I WILL DIE, FOR THE CAUSE HE'S SET BEFORE ME
TO TAKE THIS LOVE INSIDE MY HEART FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE

ALL OF HEAVEN CELEBRATES WHEN THEY HEAR SOMEONE SAY
>I AM YOURS, LORD, TAKE MY HAND AND LEAD THE WAY<

CHORUS:
WHEN YOU BELIEVE HE'S ALL YOU NEED
THAT WILL BE YOUR DEFINING MOMENT
AS YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE WALKING IN HIS LIGHT TRUSTING HIM COMPLETELY
THAT WILL BE, THAT WILL BE YOUR DEFINING MOMENT

BRIDGE:
HIS AMAZING GRACE IS SUCH A MYSTERY,
HOW IN AN INSTANT IT CAN MAKE YOUR LIFE COMPLETE

Be Thou my vision O Lord of my Heart
Naught Be all else to me save that thou art
Thou my best thought, by day or by night
waking or sleeping thy presence my light

Be thou my wisdom and thou my true Word

Thou in dwelling and i with thee one

Riches I heed not nor man's empty praise
Thou mine inheritance now and always
Thou and Thou only first in my heart
High king of heaven my threasure thou art

Be thou my vision O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me save that thou art

Waking or sleeping Thy presence my light

High king of heaven my victory won,
May I reach heaven's joy, Bright heaven's Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision O ruler of all

Still be my vision O ruler of all----

[Faithful1]

I'm not sure who this two song is by originally, it is a song that is performed by a Praise Team in the church my husband grew up in. It isn't just the words that get me but the melody and the soul that goes into performing it.:)

I can say that he's my all in all, my everything
I can say that he's my redemeer and my King
But he's more than that, so much more than that to me.

I can say that he's all in all, my everything
I can say that he's my redemeer and my King
But he's more than that, so much more than that to me.

He's my treasure, my desire
He's all I'll ever need,
He's the song I sing to cry out my heart
But he's more than that, so much more than that to me.

Shout To The Lord
by Michael W. Smith

My Jesus, my savior,
Lord, there is none like You;
All of my days, I want to praise
The wonders of Your mighty love.

My comfort, my shelter,
Tower of refuge and strength;
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship You.

Shout to the Lord, all the earth let us sing;
Power and majesty, praise to the King;
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name.

I sing for joy at the work of Your hands;
Forever I'll love You, forever I'll stand;
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You.

My Jesus, my savior,

Never cease to worship You.

Shout to the Lord, all the earth let us sing;

I sing for joy at the work of Your hands;
Forever I'll love You, forever I'll stand;

Nothing compares to the promise I have in You.
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You.
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You.

Make Me Your Voice
Habib Bardowell

(chorus)
Lord, use my hands
use my feet
use my life
Lord make me Your voice faithful and true

Lord, search my heart
search my soul
I am Yours
Lord make me Your voice forever praising Your name

Oh Lord, You found me when I looked the other way
You helped me when I was lonely and afraid
Brought me back to You
When I thought my life was through
You helped me see the truth

Oh Lord, You filled me up when hunger filled my life
You picked me up when I didn't even have a dime
Died upon the cross
For each and everyone of us
I love You Lord so much

(repeat chorus)

You can listen to it on some of his websites and it just may make you cry :)

[KingdomBound]

We sang this song at church this morning, and it truly touched me. It's such a beautiful and powerful song.
Words cannot describe what I'm feeling for my Lord right now.


Above All
By Lenny LeBlanc and Paul Baloche

Above all powers, above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began

Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what You're worth

Crucified
Laid behind a stone
You lived to die, rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all

[RuthieJH]

Oh my, it is hard to pick. Different songs I hear at different times really touch my heart in different ways. I will share this one though. I've not read through all of the replies as of yet, so I apologize if this is a repeat.

"Say The Name"
by Margaret Becker

A more sweeter sounding word these lips have never said.
A gentle name so beautiful my heart cannot forget.
Just a whisper is enough, to set my soul at ease.
Just thinking of this Name brings my heart to peace.

Say the Name (Jesus)
Say the Name that soothes the soul.
The Name of gentle healing and peace immutable.
I'll say the Name that has heard my cry, has seen my tears and wiped them dry.

From now until the end of time, I'll say the Name.

May I never grow so strong that my heart cannot be moved.
May I never grow so weak that I fear to speak the truth.
I will say this Holy name no matter who agrees.
For no other name on earth means so much to me.

Say the Name (Jesus)
Say the Name that soothes the soul.
The Name of gentle healing and peace immutable.
I'll say the Name that has heard my cry, has seen my tears and wiped them dry.

From now until the end of time, I'll say the Name.

With all the honor I can find, with all my heart my soul my mind,
I will say the Name.

Without defense without shame, I will always speak the Name Of Jesus.

Say the Name (Jesus)
Say the Name that soothes the soul.
The Name of gentle healing and peace immutable.
I'll say the Name that has heard my cry, has seen my tears and wiped them dry.

From now until the end of time, I'll say the Name.

[crazycheetah]

Ok, this song is now like my new favorite! I can't stop listening to it... the first time I heard it, it made me want to cry, because it reminded me so much of the feelings I was having at that very time. Now, it reminds me of those feelings still, and just of some stuff that really makes me happy when I think about it! I can't stop listening to it every chance I get now!

Deliver Me
by David Crowder Band

Album: Illuminate


Deliver me out of the sadness
Deliver me from all the madness
Deliver me courage to guide me
Deliver me Your strength inside me

CHORUS:
All of my life
I've been in hiding
Wishing there was someone just like You
Now that You're here
Now that I've found You
I know that You're the One to pull me through

Deliver me loving and caring
Deliver me giving and sharing
Deliver me this cross that I'm bearing

Oh, deliver me

Jesus, Jesus how I trust You
How I've proved You o'er and o'er
Jesus, Jesus precious Jesus
Deliver me
Come and pull me through
Come pull me through

Robin Mark: Revival



I hear the voice of one calling, prepare ye the way of the Lord.
And make His paths straight in the wilderness
And let your light shine in the darkness
And let your rain fall in the desert.



As sure as gold is precious and the honey sweet,
So you love this city and you love these streets.
Every child out playing by their own front door
Every baby laying on the bedroom floor.

Every dreamer dreaming in her dead-end job
Every driver driving through the rush hour mob
I feel it in my spirit, feel it in my bones
You're going to send revival, bring them all back home

I can hear that thunder in the distance
Like a train on the edge of town
I can feel the brooding of Your Spirit
"Lay your burdens down, Lay your burdens down".

From the Preacher preaching when the well is dry
To the lost soul reaching for a higher high
From the young man working through his hopes and fears
To the widow walking through the veil of tears

Every man and woman, every old and young
Every fathers daughter, every mothers son.
I feel it in my spirit, feel it in my bones
You're going to send revival, bring them all back home

I can hear that thunder in the distance
Like a train on the edge of town
I can feel the brooding of Your Spirit
"Lay your burdens down, Lay your burdens down". Revive us, Revive us,
Revive us with your fire!

Every Grain of Sand
by Bob Dylan

In the time of my confession, in the hour of my deepest need
When the pool of tears beneath my feet flood every newborn seed
There's a dyin' voice within me reaching out somewhere,
Toiling in the danger and in the morals of despair.

Don't have the inclination to look back on any mistake,
Like Cain, I now behold this chain of events that I must break.
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand
In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.

Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear,
Like criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good cheer.
The sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way
To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay.

I gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame
And every time I pass that way I always hear my name.
Then onward in my journey I come to understand
That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand.

I have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night
In the violence of a summer's dream, in the chill of a wintry light,
In the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space,
In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face.

I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand.

I love that song! I crank it up real high whenever I play it!!

[karenmot]

I was playing this the other night when I was up all night hanging around here at the board playing music (I do that fairly often), and it had me in tears....it is written as the Lord speaking to us (me)...



Sometimes the journey makes you weary
Feels like a long and winding road
Sometimes this life can lose its meaning
But you might be surprised to find some hope

Maybe you're wondering where love is
You may feel it's far away from here
Maybe you're wondering where I am
You might be surprised to find I'm near

And when your life is tossed and turning
And you are on the raging sea
I'll come and pull you from the water
Then you will know that you are free

So if you're stumbling through the valley
Or if you're tempted to give up the fight
Reach out your hand and I will lead you
I will be your strong arm in the night

And when your life is tossed and turning
And you are on the raging sea
I'll come and pull you from the water
Then you will know that you are free

(MIchael W. Smith)

My favorite(s) right now...

Third Day - I Don't Know

Cannot find the words to say I'm sorry
Don't know how to show you I was wrong
Wasted all that you had given to me
Now I'm left with nothing and no one
And I find it's my fault
I'm the only one to blame
For the tears and the pain

I don't know what I can say
Or would it matter anyway
'Cause I don't know how you could still forgive me
For all that I have put you through
Is there anything that I can do
I would give my life to find your mercy

All my life has lead to this decision
To return and ask you this one thing
And if I had one chance or if a million
Would it ever be enough for me
To explain what I've done
Now I know that I was wrong
Will you hold me again

I don't know what I can say
Or would it matter anyway
'Cause I don't know how you could still forgive me
For all that I have put you through
Is there anything that I can do
I would give my life to find your mercy
What will it take until you forgive me
I don't know

And I find it's my fault
I'm the only one to blame
For the tears and the pain

I don't know what I can say
Or would it matter anyway
'Cause I don't know how you could still forgive me
For all that I have put you through
Is there anything that I can do
I would give my life to find your mercy
I don't know what I can say
Or would it matter anyway
'Cause I don't know how you could still forgive me
For all that I have put you through
Is there anything that I can do
I would give my life to find your mercy
What will it take until you forgive me
Oh Lord, will I find that you have already
I don't know

Jeremy Camp - I Still Believe

Scattered words and empty thoughts
seem to pour from my heart.
I've never felt so torn before.
Seems I don't know where to start.
But it's now that I feel Your grace fall like rain
From ev'ry fingertip, washing away my pain

'Cause I still believe in Your faithfullness.
'Cause I still believe in Your truth.
'Cause I still believe in Your holy Word.
Even when I don't see, I still believe.

Though the questions still fog up my mind
with promises I still seem to bear,
Or even when answers slowly unwind,
It's my heart I see you prepare.
But it's now that I feel your grace fall like rain
From ev'ry fingertip, washing away my pain.

'Cause I still believe in Your faithfullness.
'Cause I still believe in Your truth.
'Cause I still believe in Your holy Word.
Even when I don't see, I still believe.

Well, the only place I can go is into Your arms
Where I throw to You my feeble prayers.
Well, in brokenness I can see that this was Your will for me.
Help me to know that You are near, yeah,

'Cause I still believe in Your faithfullness.
'Cause I still believe in Your truth.
'Cause I still believe in Your holy Word.
Even when I don't see, I still believe.

'Cause I still believe
'Cause I still believe
'Cause I still believe
'Cause I still believe
I still believe.

I am so thankful for Christian music, simply because I feel God has utilized it as a HUGE tool to help me come to Jesus. I gave my life to Jesus at a Third Day concert.

Praise Jesus! I buy as many Christian CDs as I can to support the artists, but I have also burned CDs for my friends simply because I do believe it is a tool to help.

God Bless,

I love these two songs by Third Day.......


Third Day: Show Me Your Glory
I caught a glimpse of Your splendor
In the corner of my eye
The most beautiful thing I've ever seen
And it was like a flash of lightning
Reflected off the sky
And I know I'll never be the same

Show me Your glory
Send down Your presence
I want to see Your face
Show me Your glory
Majesty shines about You
I can't go on without You, Lord

When I climb down the mountain
And get back to my life
I won't settle for ordinary things
I'm gonna follow You forever
And for all of my days
I won't rest 'til I see You again

Show me Your glory
Show me Your glory
I can't live without You



Third Day: King of Glory

Who is this King of glory that pursues me with His love
And haunts me with each hearing of His softly spoken words
My conscience, a reminder of forgiveness that I need
Who is this King of glory who offers it to me

Who is this King of angels, O blessed Prince of Peace
Revealing things of Heaven and all it's mysteries
My spirit's ever longing for His grace in which to stand
Who is this King of glory, Son of God and song of man

His name is Jesus, precious Jesus
The Lord Almighty, the King of my heart
The King of glory

Who is this King of glory with strength and majesty
And wisdom beyond measure, the gracious King of kings
The Lord of Earth and Heaven, the Creator of all things
Who is this King of glory, He's everything to me

The Lord of Earth and Heaven, the Creator of all things
He is the King of glory, He's everything to me.



What joy to sing praises to our God :).
God bless.
love in Christ,
Debra

i like relient k and audio adreniline and some others but i think my all time favroite band would have to be Five Iron Frenzy (note the FIF in name!:) ! they rock...their band retired but they r still really good and i love thim!

one of my favroite songs right now is Big House by Audio Adernaline(this is a really good songto crank)-

I don't know where you lay your head
Or where you call your home
I don't know where you eat your meals
Or where you talk on the phone
I don't know if you got a cook
A butler or a maid
I don't know if you got a yard
With a hammock in the shade


I don't know if you got some shelter
Say a place to hide
I don't know if you live with friends
In whom you can confide
I don't know if you got a family
Say a mom or dad
I don't know if you feel love at all
But i bet you wish you had


Pre-chorus
Come and go with me
To my fathers house
Come and go with me
To my fathers house


Chorus
It's a big big house
With lots and lots a room
A big big table
With lots and lots of food
A big big yard
Where we can play football
A big big house
Its my fathers house


Ibidibidee bop bop bow whew! yeah!


All i know is a big ole house
With rooms for everyone
All i know is lots a land
Where we can play and run
All i know is you need love
And i've got a family
All i know is your all alone
So why not come with me?


Repeat pre-chorus

[LilHappy]

This is my ultimate..favorite...comforting...lyrics...I just love this song SOOO much. No particular artist..I like it when our church choir sings it lol. But this is definetly my song..I relate to it, I keep it in my heart daily..and after all..its the truth...

My Life Is In Your Hands

You don't have to worry
And don't you be afraid
Joy comes in the morning
Troubles they don't last always
For there's a friend in Jesus
Who will wipe your tears away
And if your heart is broken
Just lift your hands and say

Oh
I know that I can make it
I know that I can stand
No matter what may come my way
My life is in your hands

With Jesus I can take it
With Him I know I can stand
No matter what may come my way
My life is in your hands

So when your tests and trials
They seem to get you down
And all your friends and loved ones
Are nowhere to be found
Remember there's a friend in Jesus
Who will wipe your tears away
And if you heart is broken
Just lift your hands and say

Oh
I know that I can make it
I know that I can stand
No matter what may come my way
My life is in your hands

With Jesus I can take it
With Him I know I can stand
No matter what may come my way
My life is in your hands

Robin Mark: Jesus, All For Jesus

Jesus, all for Jesus,
All I am and have and ever hope to be.
Jesus, all for Jesus,
All I am and have and ever hope to be.

All of my ambitions, hopes and plans
I surrender these into Your hands.
All of my ambitions, hopes and plans
I surrender these into Your hands.

For it's only in Your will that I am free,
For it's only in Your will that I am free,
Jesus, all for Jesus,
All I am and have and ever hope to be.





Matt Redman: Let Everything That Has Breath

Let everything that, everything that,
Everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Let everything that, everything that,
Everything that has breath praise the Lord.

VERSE 1:
Praise You in the morning,
Praise You in the evening,
Praise You when I'm young and when I'm old.
Praise You when I'm laughing,
Praise You when I'm grieving,
Praise You every season of the soul.
If we could see how much You're worth,
Your power, Your might, Your endless love,
Then surely we would never cease to praise.

VERSE 2:
Praise You in the heavens, joining with the angels,
Praising You forever and a day.
Praise You on the earth now, joining with creation,
Calling all the nations to Your praise.
If they could see how much You're worth,
Your power, your might, your endless love,
Then surely they would never cease to praise.

Let everything that, everything that,
Everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Let everything that, everything that,
Everything that has breath praise the Lord.

[worshipfulheart]

I have a couple of songs I totally love....

Praise Adonai-

Who is like Him? The lion and the Lamb
Seated on the Throne
Mountains Bow Down, Every Ocean roars
To the Lord of Hosts

Praise Adonai
From the Rising of the Sun
To the end of every Day
Praise Adonai
All the nations of the Earth
All the angels and the Saints
Sing Praise...

And there's another one....This one is by Chris DuPre

Dance with me, Oh lover of my soul,
To the Song of all Songs
Romance Me, Oh Lover Of my soul
To the Song of all Songs

Behold you have come,
Upon the hills, Over the mountains,
To me you have come,
My Beloved You've captured My heart....

These are two of my favorites. There are a lot of other really great songs listed here. I also love "King of Glory" by Third Day, actually almost anything by them, "Above All' is another favorite of mine.
There is a song by Nicole Nordemon called "Why" I htink the words to this one are powerful:

Why?- Nicole Nordeman

We rode into town the other day, just me and my Daddy. He said I’d finally reached that age,
and I could ride next to him on a horse that of course was not quite as wide
We heard a crowd of people shouting and so we stopped to find out why There was that man that my dad said he loved,
but today there was fear in his eyes

So I said Daddy why are they screaming? Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why is he dressed in that bright purple robe? I bet that crown hurts him more than he shows Daddy please can’t you do something?
He looks as if he’s going to cry
You said he is stronger than all of those guys-Daddy please tell me why, why does everyone want him to die?

Later that day the sky grew cloudy and daddy said I should go inside
Somehow he knew things would get stormy, boy was he right
But I could not keep from wondering if there was something that he had to hide
So after he left I had to find out, I was not afraid of getting lost
So I followed the crowds to a hill where I knew men had been killed
And I heard a voice come from a cross:

And it said : Father why are they screaming.Why are the faces of some of them beaming?Why are they casting their lots for my clothes??
I bet that crown hurts him more than he showsFather please can’t you do something? I know that you must hear my cry
I thought I could handle a cross of this size, Father remind me why, why does everyone want me to die.When will I understand why?

My precious Son, I hear them screaming.
I’m watching the face of the enemy beaming but soon I will clothe you in robes of my own.
Jesus this hurts me more than you know But this dark hour I must do nothing.
I’ve heard your unbearable cry—the power in your blood destroys all the lies, soon you’ll see past their unmerciful eyes.
Look there below see the child trembling by her father’s side. Now I can tell you why, she is why you must die.


I like almost any song that worshipfully expresses the Holiness and Majesty of God. An older one that I really like is :

Oh "Lord my God when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars’ I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed

When Christ shall come
With shout of acclamation
To take me home
What joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim my God how great Thou art

Then sings my soul my savior God to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
Then sings my soul my savior God to Thee
How great Thou art how great Thou art.

[Debra R]

Third Day: It's Alright

Your letter said that you were leaving
But you didn't know how long
I have never stopped believing
That one day you would return
And though the waiting is the hardest
Part of everything I do
I do confess it's getting better
Knowing I will be with you

It's alright
It's okay
I won't worry about tomorrow
For it brings me one more day
Closer than I was to you

Now the question isn't "will you"
What I want to know is "when"
If it's one day or a million
I will wait for you 'til then
So i'm holding on to your words
And the promises you've made
There is not one you have broken
There's not one I didn't take

Your letter said that you were leaving
But you didn't know how long
I will never stop believing
I know one day you will return

[worshipfulheart]

Who Am I




Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my eevr wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours


I love Casting Crowns, Who am I and If we are the body are two of my favorites.
The version of Who am I that comes on the radio is a little too rock and roll for me but the one on the CD is just beautiful. I have a vision for dancing to that one! I love the words.

[kistan]

I am going to add one other sone that has been uplifting me of late...

One Reason
by Jason Upton



I lived my life for a while
Asking for signs to believe in
God played defense in my trial
Quietly hanging there bleeding
While i cast lots for his robe
While i point my bloody finger
He pays debts that i owe
He says "Father, forgive them"
I used to ask for a sign to believe in
But he never gave me a reason to ever doubt Him

Give me one reason to doubt He is Messiah
Give me one reason to doubt He is alive
Give me one reason to doubt i am the apple of His eye

Just one reason now
Just one reason to doubt
Ahh ah ah
Just one reason now
Just one reason to doubt
Jesus Christ

I see the faith of our fathers
Abraham, Issac, and Jacob
They never saw what was promised
But they never once felt forsaken
Through fire, famine, and sword
Tribulation and war
They never asked for a sign to beleive in
So tell me how we stand in judgment and ever doubt Him

Give me one reason to doubt He is Messiah
Give me one reason to doubt He is alive
Give me one reason to doubt i am the apple of His eye

Just one reason now
Just one reason to doubt
Ahh ah ah (x2)
Just one reason now
Just one reason to doubt
Jesus Christ

[QuietWaters79]

My favorite lyrics are You are My King


I'm forgiven because you were forsaken,
I'm accepted, you were condemned
I'm alive and well, your spirit is within me
because You died and rose again

Amazing love, how can it be
That you, my King has died for me?
Amazing love, I know its true
its my joy to honor You
In all I do, I honor You

You are my King
Jesus, You are my King
You are my King

[Debra R]

Two songs I really like of Steven Curtis Chapman:



Speechless



Words fall like drops of rain

My lips are like clouds

I say so many things just trying to figure You out

As mercy opens my eyes my words are stolen away

At this breathtaking view of Your grace



Chorus:

I am speechless I'm astonished and amazed

I am silenced by Your wondrous grace

You have saved me You have raised me from the grave

I am speechless in Your presence now

I'm astounded as I consider how

You have shown us a love that leaves us speechless



What kind of love could this be

That would trade heaven's throne for a cross

And to think You still celebrate

Over finding just one that was lost

To know You rejoice over us the God of this whole universe

It's a story that's too great for words



Repeat Chorus



Oh, how great is the love

That the Father has lavished upon us

That we should be called the sons and the daughters of God



We stand in awe of Your grace

We stand in awe of Your mercy

We stand in awe of Your love

We are speechless

We stand in awe of Your cross



We stand in awe of Your power

We are speechless



We stand in awe of Your grace

We are speechless, astonished and amazed

We stand in awe of Your mercy

We are silenced by Your wondrous grace

We stand in awe of Your love

You have saved us, You have raised us from the grave

We are speechless



We stand in awe of Your cross

We are speechless in Your presence now

We stand in awe of Your power

We're astounded as we consider how

We are speechless

Your have shown us a love that leaves us speechless











I Will Not Go Quietly



I was born with an angel whispering in my ear

Telling me sacred secrets that God wanted me to hear

And I have lived to tell the mysteries I've been told

And even when they tell me it's my time to go



CHORUS

No I will not, No I will not

Not go quietly

No I will not, No I will not

Not go quietly no, no, Not go quietly no, no

Not go quietly



These things I tell, they are much true

Than the heart of he who speaks

Even so, this humble servant

Can not help but talk about his king

So I will sing 'cause I can't hold back the song

I shout and scream, Until God takes me home



CHORUS



Bridge



So How can I keep silent?

So how can I not speak?

And tell about the saviour



Who has set this prisoner free?

Here's one of my favorite praise songs. It's a little unconventional, but it's really a great song. I like it a lot.

If You Want to Get Free
by Don Chaffer (Waterdeep)

In the gas station bathroom by the condom machine
I heard the word of the Lord
He said "Take off your shoes,
this is holy ground too
you know I came for the sick and the bored."
Beneath the selling of beers
And the welling up of tears
Out beyond the beam of the remote control
There's a whispering voice
That the humble ear hears
that says "I am still waiting
for you to ask just to be made whole."

And the bush it was burning on the mountain top
and though the leaves never blackened, the fire didn't stop
That's the way that it works in this old life of sin
You gotta let the fire burn you just to get clean within

I am so often deterred from my actual intent
by distractions in a cellophane wrap
And the cruel voice that taunts me when I open them up
to find just one more box full of crap
It's where you're mocked while you abstain
and then cursed when you give in
It's all a game that's impossible to beat
But there's a peaceful refrain God'll sing in your brain
when you put the nails to your hands and your feet

And the smell of our sacrifices
still fills up my head
There's just a few left at the altar, Lord
all the rest of them fled
And we've cried and we've tried
And we've sweat and we've bled
But we don't just need atonement
We need to be raised from the dead

When they took down the cross from that dark hillside
The blood on their hands was the blood from his side
That's the way that it works, That's the way it must be.
You gotta let His blood stain you of you want to get free.

When they took down the cross from that dark hillside
The blood on their hands was the blood from his side
That's the way that it works, That's the way it must be.
You gotta let His blood stain you if you want to get free.
If you want to get free.
Don't you want to get free?
I think you want to be free.

[humblamb]

My favorite lyrics are You are My King


I'm forgiven because you were forsaken,
I'm accepted, you were condemned
I'm alive and well, your spirit is within me
because You died and rose again

Amazing love, how can it be
That you, my King has died for me?
Amazing love, I know its true
its my joy to honor You
In all I do, I honor You

You are my King
Jesus, You are my King
You are my King



Forgive me if i'm wrong QW but is this the same song with a chorus that goes --
You are my King
You are the Lamb
Lion of Judah
Seed of Abraham!
The Holy ONe
Gods Oonly Son
You are the King of who I am.

Sorry I began to write in song language there at the end couldn't help it though If it is the same song It is also one of my favorites. If it's not the same one, It's STILL one of my favorites!

[Debra R]

Here are two more songs I love by Robin Mark:

Lion of Judah
Isaiah 11, Revelation 11



You're the Lion of Judah, the Lamb that was slain,
You ascended to heaven and ever more will reign;
At the end of the age when the earth You reclaim,
You will gather the nations before You.
And the eyes of all men will be fixed on the Lamb
Who was crucified,
For with wisdom and mercy and justice You'll reign
At Your Father's side.

And the angels will cry: 'Hail the Lamb
Who was slain for the world, Rule in power.'
And the earth will reply: 'You shall reign
As the King of all kings
And the Lord of all lords.' There's a shield in our hand and a sword at our side,
There's a fire in our spirits that cannot be denied;
As the Father has told us for these You have died,
For the nations that gather before You.
And the ears of all men need to hear of the Lamb
Who was crucified,
Who descended to hell yet was raised up to reign
At the Father's side.



Garments Of Praise

Put on the garments of praise
For the spirit of heaviness
Let the oil of gladness flow down
From Your throne
Put on the garments of praise
For the spirit of heaviness
Your joy is my strength alone
My strength alone

Make these broken weary bones
Rise to dance again
Wet this dry and thirsty land
With a river
Lord our eyes are fixed on You
We are waiting
For Your garland of grace
As we praise Your name

Hallelujah
Sing hallelujah
To Your name
Hallelujah Sing hallelujah
We trade our sorrows
For garments of praise

I love this song....

Step By Step
By Rich Mullins

Sometimes the night was beautiful
Sometimes the sky was so far away
Sometimes it seemed to stoop so close
You could touch it but your heart would break
Sometimes the morning came too soon
Sometimes the day could be so hot
There was so much work left to do
But so much You'd already done

Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
I will seek You in the morning
And I will learn to walk in Your ways
And step by step You'll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days

Sometimes I think of Abraham
How one star he saw had been lit for me
He was a stranger in this land
And I am that, no less than he
And on this road to righteousness
Sometimes the climb can be so steep
I may falter in my steps
But never beyond Your reach

Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
I will seek You in the morning
And I will learn to walk in Your ways
And step by step You'll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days

And I will follow You all of my days
And I will follow You all of my days
And step by step You'll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days
And I will follow You all of my days

[sputnik]

Excuse me sputnik......these are not quite the kind of lyrics we are looking for :rolleyes:

[Ta-An]

Forgive me if i'm wrong QW but is this the same song with a chorus that goes --
You are my King
You are the Lamb
Lion of Judah
Seed of Abraham!
The Holy ONe
Gods Oonly Son
You are the King of who I am.

Sorry I began to write in song language there at the end couldn't help it though If it is the same song It is also one of my favorites. If it's not the same one, It's STILL one of my favorites!No, I do not think so

[Faithful1]

Newsboys- He Reigns

it's the song of the redeemed
rising from the African plain
it's the song of the forgiven
drowning out the Amazon rain
the song of Asian believers
filled with God's holy fire
it's every tribe, every tongue, every nation
a love song born of a grateful choir

Chorus
it's all God's children singing
glory, glory, hallelujah, He reigns
He reigns
it's all God's children singing
glory, glory, hallelujah, He reigns
He reigns

let it rise above the four winds
caught up in the heavenly sound
let praises echo from the towers of cathedrals
to the faithful gathered underground
of all the songs sung from the dawn of creation
some were meant to persist
of all the bells rung from a thousand steeples
none rings truer than this

- Chorus -

Bridge
and all the powers of darkness
tremble at what they've just heard
'cause all the powers of darkness
can't drown out a single word

when all God's children sing out
glory, glory, hallelujah, He reigns
He reigns, He reigns
all God's children sing out
glory, glory, hallelujah, He reigns
He Reigns, He reigns

- Chorus -

all God's children singing
glory, glory, hallelujah, He reigns
He reigns
all God's children singing
glory, glory, hallelujah, He reigns
He reigns

Those lyrics are so beautiful Karen, Thank you!:hug:
God bless you.
Love in Christ,

[Stacey Blue]

I guess I love the music of the song as much as I enjoy the lyrics. The lyrics are special to me because they remind me that God never promised us smooth sailing in our journeys.

Ready for the Storm - Rich Mullins

The waves crash in the tide rolls out
It's an angry sea but there is no doubt
That the lighthouse will keep shining out
To warn a lonely sailor
And the lightning strikes
And the wind cuts cold
Through the sailor's bones
Through the sailor's soul
'Til there's nothing left that he can hold
Except a rolling ocean

Oh I am ready for the storm
Yes sir ready
I am ready for the storm
I'm ready for the storm

Oh give me mercy for my dreams
'Cause every confrontation seems to tell me
What it really means
To be this lonely sailor
And when the sky begins to clear
The sun it melts away my fear
And I shed a silent weary tear
For those who mean to love me

Oh I am ready for the storm
Yes sir ready
I am ready for the storm
I'm ready for the storm

The distance it is no real friend
And time will take its time
And you will find that in the end
It brings you me
This lonely sailor
And when You take me by the hand
And You love me, Lord, You love me
And I should have realized
I had no reasons to be frightened

Oh I am ready for the storm
Yes sir ready
I am ready for the storm
Yes sir ready
I am ready for the storm
Yes sir ready
I am ready for the storm
I'm ready for the storm

[Debra R]

I love to praise the Lord, that gives me the most joy :pp,

so I have to post some more songs :) .

This is my favorite song that we sing at church...

Oh God you are my God
and I will ever praise You
I will seek You in the morning
And I will learn to walk in your ways
And step by step You'll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days

Where You lead me
I will follow
With Your rod and staff to guide me
Over the mountains
Through the valleys
You will bring my heart through safely
And I will rest
In the shadow of Your wing
My soul follows hard after Thee

Oh my God
You are my keeper
And You have everything I need
You're my shepherd
My soul follows hard after Thee
My soul follows hard after Thee

[Debra R]

I was looking through some old hymns and found this
I haven't heard it in a long time, it is beautiful too....

Ezekiel 3:11 And go, get to the captives, to the children of your people, and speak to them and tell them, "Thus says the Lord GOD,' whether they hear, or whether they refuse."

Words: A. Katherine Hankey, 1866.

Music: W. Howard Doane, 1870

Tell me the old, old story of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love.

Tell me the story simply, as to a little child,
For I am weak and weary, and helpless and defiled.

Tell me the old, old story, tell me the old, old story,
Tell me the old, old story, of Jesus and His love.

Tell me the story slowly, that I may take it in,
That wonderful redemption, God’s remedy for sin.

Tell me the story often, for I forget so soon;
The early dew of morning has passed away at noon.

Tell me the old, old story, tell me the old, old story,
Tell me the old, old story, of Jesus and His love.

Tell me the story softly, with earnest tones and grave;
Remember I’m the sinner whom Jesus came to save.

Tell me the story always, if you would really be,
In any time of trouble, a comforter to me.

Tell me the old, old story, tell me the old, old story,
Tell me the old, old story, of Jesus and His love.

Tell me the same old story when you have cause to fear
That this world’s empty glory is costing me too dear.

Yes, and when that world’s glory is dawning on my soul,
Tell me the old, old story: “Christ Jesus makes thee whole.”


Tell me the old, old story, tell me the old, old story,
Tell me the old, old story, of Jesus and His love.

[CJE1619]

I guess I would have two sets of favorite lyrics...one secular and one sacred.

My favorite sacred lyrics:

"On Eagles Wings" -- I don't have the lyrics handy to post...sorry.



My favorite secular lyrics:

"The Reason" by Hoobastank

I'm not a perfect person
As many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why i need you to hear
I've found a resaon for me


To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You [x4]
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you


GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

Third day

from Offerings

These Thousand Hills



These thousand hills roll ever on

Footprints of a Mighty God

They bring me to my knees in praise

Amazing love, amazing grace



Was on a hill my Savior died

A broken heart and bleeding side

Hill of the Skull, Mount Calvary

The blood He shed, He shed for me



When Heaven's hills at last I roam

Forever settled in my home

I'll join the saints around Your throne

Your kingdom, Lord, rolls ever on



These thousand hills roll ever on

Ripples of a coming storm

The morning star precedes the dawn

These thousand hills roll ever on





Third Day: Love Song





I've heard it said that a man would climb a mountain
Just to be with the one he loves
How many times has he broken that promise
It has never been done.
I've never climbed the highest mountain
But I walked the hill of calvary

Chorus:
Just to be with you, I'd do anything
There's no price I would not pay
Just to be with you, I'd give anything
I would give my life away.

I've heard it said that a man would swim the ocean
Just to be with the one he loves
How may times has he broken that promise
It can never be done
I've never swam the deepest ocean
But I walked upon the raging sea

Repeat Chorus

(Bridge)
I know that you don't understand
the fullness of My love
How I died upon the cross for your sins
And I know that you don't realize
how much that I gave you
But I promise, I would do it all again.

Just to be with you, I've done everything
There's no price I did not pay
Just to be with you, I gave everything
Yes, I gave my life away.

[peach]

My favorite was mentioned already...I Can Only Imagine. Who Am I is amazing as well. So, I'll post The Potter's Hands by Hillsong

Beautiful Lord, Wonderful Saviour
I know for sure, all of my days are held in your hands, crafted
into your perfect plan
You gently call me into your presence guiding me by Your Holy Spirit
Teach me dear Lord to live all of my life through Your eyes
I'm captured by Your holy calling
Set me apart, I know you're drawing me to yourself
Lead me Lord I pray

Chorus:
Take me, Mold me, use me, fill me
I give my life to the Potter's hand
Call me, guide me, lead me, walk beside me
I give my life to the Potter's hand

you gentlly call me into your presence guidin me by your holy spirit
teach me dear lord to live through your eyes
i'm captured by you holy calling
set me apart, I know your drawing me to yourself
lead me lord i pray

And I love Homesick by Mercy Me...makes me think of my Mama and brother...

You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you
But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways
The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
Cause I'm still here so far away from home

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

In Christ, there are no goodbye
And in Christ, there is no end
So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have
To see you again
To see you again

And I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

I've never been more homesick than now

[karenmot]

This is How It Feels To Be Free - Phillips Craig and Dean



There is a wall that has been standing
Since the day that Adam fell
Sin is where it started
And sin is why it held
Speaking as a prisoner
Who was there and lived to tell
I remember how it fell

I can hear the sound of freedom
Like a distant voice who called
And beckon me to follow
Where I had never gone
And though my heart is willin'
I just stood there at the wall
Praying somehow it would fall

But in a cross I found a doorway
And a hand that held a key
And when the chains fell at my feet
For the first time I could see

This is how it feels to be free
This is what it means to know that
I am forgiven
This is how it feels to be free
To see that life can be more than I imagined
This is how it feels to be free
This is how it feels to be free

There are days that I'm reminded
Of the prison I was in
Like a living nightmare
Burning from the veil
I can feel the voice of evil
I can hear the call of sin
But I won't go back again

See, once I tasted freedom
Then the walls could bind no more
Since mercy gave me wings to fly
Like an eagle I can soar

This is how it feels to be free
This is what it means to know that
I am forgiven
This is how it feels to be free
To see that life can be more than I imagined
This is how it feels to be free
This is how it feels to be free

[Southern Lady]

however; I interpret these two songs as such:

I Need You To Turn To

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

You're not a ship to carry my life
You are nailed to my love in many lonely nights
I've strayed from the cottages and found myself here
For I need your love your love protects my fears

And I wonder sometimes and I know I'm unkind
But I need you to turn to when I act so blind
And I need you to turn to when I lose control
You're my guardian angel who keeps out the cold

Did you paint your smile on, well I said I knew
That my reason for living was for loving you
We're related in feeling but you're high above
You're pure and you're gentle with the grace of a dove

Take Me To The Pilot

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

If you feel that it's real I'm on trial
And I'm here in your prison
Like a coin in your mint
I am dented and I'm spent with high treason

Through a glass eye your throne
Is the one danger zone
Take me to the pilot for control
Take me to the pilot of your soul

Take me to the pilot
Lead me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot
I am but a stranger

Take me to the pilot
Lead me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot
I am but a stranger

Well I know he's not old
And I'm told he's a virgin
For he may be she
But what I'm told is never for certain

[karenmot]

If the "he" in the lyrics is the Pilot of your soul, who would be interpreted as being God if I were to interpret this as Christian, then I have a problem with this part of the lyrics .....

Well I know he's not old
And I'm told he's a virgin
For he may be she
But what I'm told is never for certain



Plus, it is a well known fact that Elton John and Bernie Taupin were ho*m*se*xual lov*ers....

That means that "I Need You To Turn To" was them speaking to each other...

It's a real stretch for me to be able to get past that and substitute the Lord in those lyrics....

Sorry...

[Debra R]

By Third Day:

Offering

Magnificent, Holy Father
I stand in awe of all I see
Of all the things you have created
Still you choose to think of me

And who am I that you should suffer
your very life to set me free
the only thing that I can give you
is the life you gave to me

Chorus
This is my offering, dear Lord
this is my offering to you, God
I will give you my life
for its all I have to give
because you gave your life to me

I stand before you at this altar
so many have given you more
I may not have much I can offer
Yet what I have is truly yours

Chorus

This is my offering
This is my offering, dear Lord
This is my offering to you, God
Well I will give you my life
For its all I have to give
Because you gave your life for me

This is my offering to you, God
well I will give you my life
For its all I have to give
Because you gave your life for me
Because you gave your life for me

[Prayin_saint]

Here are some lyrics from some Youth Group songs we sing.


In my life i've seen all the gifts that God can bring
To those who lean on his word
It's not the ones who say "Watch as righteously I pray"
But those who seek to truly serve
Lord please teach me to give you everything
To die inside, yet live and all my secrets to you bring
Help me to be sincere as I profess my love
I love my life, my life is from above


******

I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be a
Casual Christian
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna live a
Lukewarm Life
I just wanna light up the night with Your everlasting light
I don't wanna live a Casual Christian Life

****

These are the days of Elijah, Declaring the word of the Lord
and these are the days of Your servant, Moses, righteousness being restored.
And though these are days of great trial, of famine and darkness and sword,
still we are the voice in the desert, crying, "Prepare ye the way of the Lord!"

Behold he comes!
Riding on the clouds!
Shinin like the sun!
At the trumpet call!
So lift your voice!(yell)
It's the year of Jubilee
and out of Zions' hill salvation comes!

These are the days of Ezekiel, the dray bones becoming as flesh
and these are the days of Your servant, David, rebuilding a temple of praise.
And these are the days of the harvest, the fields are as white in the world, still we are the laborers in Your vinyard declaring the word of the Lord!
Chorus


Those are just a few favorites, the middle one I learned the night before last.

[Stacey Blue]

I will listen
Twila Paris

Hard as it seems
Standing in dreams
Where is the dreamer now
Wonder if I
Wanted to try
Would I remember how
I don't know the way to go from here
But I know I have made my choice
And this is where I stand
Until He moves me on
And I will listen to His voice
This is the faith
Patience to wait
When there is nothing clear
Nothing to see
Still we believe
Jesus is very near
I can not imagine what will come
But I've already made my choice
And this is where I stand
Until He moves me on
And I will listen to His voice
Could it be that He is only waiting there to see
If I will learn to love the dreams
that He has dreamed for me
Can't imagine what the future holds
But I've already made my choice
And this is where I stand
Until He moves me on
And I will listen to His voice

I love Twila Paris. Our favorite CD is Sanctuary -- my son has several others. What CD is this on?

[Scruffy Kid]

Thanks to Kistan for the thread, and to all who have posted.

Thanx for the list, Scruffy Kid.


I LOVE this song by Jeremy Camp. My Lord is soooooo BEAUTIFUL, and I'm so in awe of Him! This song describes exactly how I feel about my King!


In Your Presence
by Jeremy Camp

As I stand here in your presence,
Of your beauty I will always stand in awe,
I reach my hands out to the heavens, yeah,
And I lift my voice to you alone, To you alone,

As I bow my head before you,
I lay my burdens down at your nail pierced feet,
Every ounce of you radiates your glory,
With you I know that I’m complete

And I sing Hallelujah,
You are my God, Maker of the heavens,
Hallelujah, You are my LORD,
I bow before your presence,

As I stand here in your presence,
Of your beauty I will always stand in awe,
I reach my hands out to the heavens, yeah,
And I lift my voice to you alone,
And I sing Hallelujah,
You are my God, Maker of the heavens,
Hallelujah, You the LORD of all, Maker of all the heavens,
I can only kneel before your presence,
All the nations praise your Holy Name,
You are the great I Am, More than I can reason,
I realize more that I am needing you,

You are worthy, you are worthy LORD,
You are worthy, You are worthy,
You are mighty, You are mighty,
You are mighty, You are holy,
You are mighty, You are holy …..

I love Twila Paris. Our favorite CD is Sanctuary -- my son has several others. What CD is this on?

Here I Stand is the title. It's one of my favorites. I don't have Sanctuary, but it's only one of a couple I don't have of hers. I like Perennial so much. She does a great job remaking the classics.

NOTE: The lists given may have some errors: I have not proofed them, and I'm not real familiar with most of this music. (Entries are catalogued only to #101, and in most cases only when the lyrics were given.) Nevertheless, my hope was it would help people find songs they were interested in, and avoid duplications, as the list got longer. It was very interesting, as well as giving inspiration, to see the various lyrics posted. Thanks to all.

[karenmot]

Wow, Scruffy, what a piece of work for you to compile and post these lists! Thank you so much for going to all that trouble!


I am going to go back now and review what has already been posted....on your nice concise lists!

[karenmot]

Here I Stand is the title. It's one of my favorites. I don't have Sanctuary, but it's only one of a couple I don't have of hers. I like Perennial so much. She does a great job remaking the classics.
Her version of Amazing Grace is the most beautiful I have ever heard. I don't know if my son has Here I Stand, but I'll ask him and if he does give that song a listen....

[Debra R]

WOW Scruffy!

Thanks so very much for the list :hug: :hug: :hug:.

That is wonderful! :pp

I usually go back and look through all the post to make sure I don't post the same song twice, now you have made it so much easier :).

God bless you greatly dear brother.

in Christ's love,

To celebrate all the work Scruffy did to make a list of all our songs, I found this Beautiful old hymn.....


Luther B. Bridgers
SWEETEST NAME


There's within my heart a melody
Jesus whispers sweet and low:
Fear not, I am with thee, peace, be still,
in all of life's ebb and flow.

Refrain:
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
sweetest name I know,
fills my every longing,
keeps me singing as I go.

All my life was wrecked by sin and strife,
discord filled my heart with pain;
Jesus swept across the broken strings,
stirred the slumbering chords again.

(Refrain)
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
sweetest name I know,
fills my every longing,
keeps me singing as I go.



Though sometimes He leads through waters deep,
trials fall across the way,
though sometimes the path seems rough and steep,
see His footprints all the way.

(Refrain)
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
sweetest name I know,
fills my every longing,
keeps me singing as I go.


Feasting on the riches of His grace,
resting neath His sheltering wing,
always looking on His smiling face,
that is why I shout and sing.

(Refrain)
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
sweetest name I know,
fills my every longing,
keeps me singing as I go.


Soon He's coming back to welcome me
far beyond the starry sky;
I shall wing my flight to worlds unknown;
I shall reign with him on high.

(Refrain)
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
sweetest name I know,
fills my every longing,
keeps me singing as I go.
:pp :pp :pp

[karenmot]

You are my shepherd, I have no needs
You lead me by peaceful streams
And You refresh my life

You hold my hand and You guide my steps
I could walk through the valley of death
And I won’t be afraid

Because You are in control
You are in control
You are in control
You are in control

You cause everything to work together
You truly have a sovereign plan
And You know who I am
And You made who I am
And You love who I am

Because You are in control
You are in control
You are in control
You are in control

If We are the Body
Casting Crowns
It's crowded in worship today
As she slips in trying to fade into the faces
The girls teasing laughter is carrying farther than they know
Farther than they know

But if we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing?
Why aren't His words teaching?
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
There is a way

A traveler is far away from home
He sheds his coat and quietly sinks into the back row
The weight of their judgmental glances
Tells him that his chances are better out on the road

But if we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing?
Why aren't His words teaching?
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
There is a way

Jesus paid much too high a price
For us to pick and choose who should come
And we are the body of Christ

But if we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing?
Why aren't His words teaching?
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
There is a way

Jesus is the way

[ronnie]

A traveler is far away from home

good pick gunatario:
I think this one of the most powerful verses from this song. It makes me think of how important it is to reach out to the ones around you. you really never know if they are being moved by God or not. If they aren't then your opportunity to plant a seed is there, and if they are being moved by God already you can water the seed and let your light shine for their growth.

[karenmot]

You breathe in me
And I'm alive
With the power of your holiness
You breathe in me
And you revive
Feelings in my soul
That I have laid to rest


So breathe in me
I need you now
I've never felt so dead within
So breathe in me
Maybe somehow
You can breathe new life
In me again


I used to be
So sensitive
To the light that leads
To where you are

Now I've aquired
These callouses
With the darkness of
A cold and jaded heart


So breathe in me
I need you now
I've never felt so dead within
So breathe in me
Maybe somehow
You can breathe new life
In me again

Written by Michael W. Smith & Wayne Kirkpatrick

[karenmot]

Maybe there's a light in my soul
Maybe it flickers like a neon sign
Outside an abandoned hotel
Maybe there are things you just can't know
But can you say there are no mysteries
In the house you choose to dwell
Maybe we are entertaining angels unaware

Maybe there's a place where we will fly
But some say God is dead like Nietzsche said
And faith has made me a fool
But maybe there is more than meets the eye
Who's that stranger there beside you?
Don't be smug and don't be cruel
Maybe we are entertaining angels unaware


Battles of the heart and mind
We stay caught in mental purgatory
'Til our existence can be defined
Meanwhile on the shores of parallel
There may be a holy conference held
Somewhere
Discussing all mankind
Maybe we are entertaining angels unaware


Written by Michael W. Smith & Wayne Kirkpatrick

[Hearing Gods Voice]

Does anyone know the song that tells of the different types of Jehovah (sp?) that Christ is.. Jehovah Jirah, Rappa, etc.. I only heard the song once and I really would like to know the name of the song..

Thanks... HGV

[trinity]

I love 'I can only imagine' and 'Offering' as well! Current favourite by Mark Schultz that makes me turn the volume on full:

***

Chorus
You are a child of Mine
Born of my own design
And you bear the heart of life
No matter where you go
O you will always know
You have been set free in Christ
You are a child of Mine

Yeah... this is the one that gets me also. I see it happen in my own church, and I try to rush over and give the newcomer a nicer welcome. Sometimes, I think scare off people though...:blush:

[BHS]

Karenmot,

It took me a couple of years to find the song Stacey Blue posted. It is one of my favorites too! The name of the song is "I Will Listen" and can be found on Twila Paris' album titled "Where I Stand". It is also on the CD "Let Us Pray".

If you are looking for some good albums for your son, you might also try some of Paul Wilbur -- "Shalom Jerusalem", "Jerusalem Arise" and "Lion of Judah". They are upbeat with good lyrics.

Also the album "David -- Ordinary Man, Extraordinary God" is contemporary and upbeat and would be great!

Blessings,

BHS

"on fire" switchfoot
Tell you where you need to go
Tell you who you need to be
Tell you what you need to know
Tell you when you'll need to leave

But everything inside you knows
Says more than what you've heard
So much more than empty conversations
Filled with empty words

Chorus:

And you're on fire
When He's near you
You're on fire
When He speaks
You're on fire
Burning at these mysteries

Give me one more time around
Give me one more chance to see
Give me everything You are
Give me one more chance to be... (near You)

Cause everything inside looks like
Everything I hate
You are the hope I have for change
You are the only chance I'll take

Chorus:
When I'm on fire
When You're near me
I'm on fire
When You speak
And I'm on fire
Burning at these mysteries
these mysteries...

I'm standing on the edge of me (x3)
I'm standing on the edge

Chorus:

And I'm on fire
When You're near me
I'm on fire
When You speak
(Yea) I'm on fire
Burning at these mysteries...

"undignified" matt redman

I will dance, I will sing
To be mad for my King.
Nothing Lord, is hindering
The passion in my soul.

CHORUS:
And I'll become even more undignified than this.
(Some would say it's foolishness but)
I'll become even more undigni-fied than this.


Na, na, na, na, na, na! Hey!
Na, na, na, na, na, na! Hey!

It's all for You, my Lord!

"shout to the Lord" chris tomlin.. but i heard it from jaci velasquez first! :D :pp

My Jesus, my Savior, Lord, there is none like You;
All of my days I want to praise the wonders of Your mighty love.
My comfort, my shelter, tower of refuge and strength;
Let ev'ry breath, all that I am, never cease to worship You.

Chorus
Shout to the Lord, all the earth, let us sing
Power and Majesty, praise to the King;
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name.
I sing for joy at the work of your hands,
Forever I'll love You, forever I'll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You.

repeat

Shout to the Lord, all the earth, let us sing
Power and Majesty, praise to the King;
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name.
I sing for joy at the work of your hands,
Forever I'll love You, forever I'll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You.

"breathe" matt and beth redman (i think?)

"trading my sorrows" delirious

i'm trading my sorrows
i'm trading my shame
i'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord

i'm trading my sickness
i'm trading my pain
i'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord

we say yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord
yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord
yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord, amen

i am pressed but not crushed
persecuted, but not abandoned
struck down, but not destroyed
i am blessed beyond the curse,
for His promise will endure
and His joy will be my strength

though the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes with the morning.

i'm trading my sorrows
i'm trading my shame
i'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord

i'm trading my sickness
i'm trading my pain
i'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord

we say yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord
yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord
yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes Lord, amen (2x)

i am pressed but not crushed
persecuted, but not abandoned
struck down, but not destroyed
i am blessed beyond the curse,
for His promise will endure
and His joy is going to be my strength

though the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes with the morning.

i'm trading my sorrows
i'm trading my shame
i'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord

i'm trading my sickness
i'm trading my pain
i'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord (2x)

Beautiful by: Bethany Dillon

I was so unique
Now I feel skin deep
Count on the maker to cover it all.
Crying myself to sleep ‘cause I can not keep their attention
Thought I could be strong, but it’s killing me.

Does someone hear my cry?
I’m dying for new life.

Chorus:
I wanna be beautiful,
Make you stand in awe.
Look inside my heart.
Be amazed.
I want to hear you say
Who I am is quite enough
I just wanna be worthy of love

And Beautiful

Sometimes I wish I was someone
Other than me
Fighting to make the mirror happy
Trying to find whatever is missing
Won’t you help me back to glory?

Repeat Chorus

You make me beautiful
You make me stand in awe
You step inside my heart
And I am amazed
I love to hear you say
Who I am is quite enough
You make me worthy of love
Beautiful
You make me worthy of love
Beautiful
Beautiful

"Jesus, you're my super hero
you swooped down and you rescued me
you took this big old zero
you turned my life around put my feet on solid ground
and i'm praising you forever!!" :pp :D

[Debra R]

It's by Mercy Me. :)


Here is another song I really like by Mercy Me.....

"Spoken for"
Take this world from me
I don’t need it anymore
I am finally free
My heart is spoken for

Oh and I praise you
Oh and I worship you...

[CHORUS:]
Covered by your love divine
Child of the risen Lord
To hear you say “This one’s mine”
My heart is spoken for

Now I have a peace
I’ve never known before
I find myself complete
My heart is spoken for

Oh and I praise you
Oh and I worship you...

[CHORUS:]Covered by your love divine
Child of the risen Lord
To hear you say “This one’s mine”
My heart is spoken for

By the power of the cross
You’ve taken what was lost
And made it fully yours
And I have been redeemed
By you that spoke to me
Now I am spoken for

[CHORUS:]
Covered by your love divine
Child of the risen Lord
To hear you say “This one’s mine”
My heart is spoken for
[2X]

Take this world from me
Don’t need it anymore...

Here are a few old hymns that are awesome.........


Do You Know My Jesus?


Words and Music by W.F. Lakey and V.B Ellis
© 1957 - V.B. Ellis
Have you a heart that's weary,
Tending a load of care;
Are you a soul that's seeking
Rest from the burden you bear?

Chorus
Do you know (do you know) my Jesus?
Do you know (do you know) my Friend?
Have you heard (have you heard) He loves you?
And that He will abide till the end? (till the end?)


Where is your heart, oh pilgrim,
What does your light reveal;
Who hears your call for comfort
When naught but sorrow you feel?

Chorus
Do you know (do you know) my Jesus?
Do you know (do you know) my Friend?
Have you heard (have you heard) He loves you?
And that He will abide till the end? (till the end?)


Who knows your disappointments,
Who hears each time you cry;
Who understands your heartaches,
Who dries the tears from your eyes?

Chorus
Do you know (do you know) my Jesus?
Do you know (do you know) my Friend?
Have you heard (have you heard) He loves you?
And that He will abide till the end? (till the end?)











How Great Thou Art

O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made,
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed!

Chorus
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!


When thru the woods and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees,
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze.

Chorus
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!


And when I think that God, His Son not sparing,
Sent Him to die, I scare can take it in.
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin!

Chorus
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!


When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art!

Chorus
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

Blindside-"About A burning fire"

I thought about fire in the sky
I thought about fire
I thought about love burning in your eye
I thought about fire

I thought about fire in the sky
I thought about fire
I thought about love burning in your eye
I thought about fire

It hurts
That drops of fire would fall so precise
And how everything else would lose its meaning
What a beautiful
What a painful surprise
There is no peace outside if there is nothing within
It hurts
But like coming home
Once dried up
I guess this is what you get
When a heart expands

I thought about fire in the sky
I thought about fire
I thought about love burning in your eye
I thought about fire

Love is destructive
For the ego
And your voice is the only thing
That speaks rebelliously in this world of claiming your own
There is no peace outside if there's nothing within
Love is addictive
For the spirit
And your voice whispers with a roar
That fire rises up, refills
Place the right king on the throne

I thought about fire in the sky
I thought about fire
I thought about love burning in your eye
I thought about fire

I thought about fire in the sky
I thought about fire
I thought about love burning in your eye
I thought about fire

I thought about a burning fire
I thought about a love in fire
I thought about your love, yeah
I thought about your love

I thought about a burning fire
I thought about a love in fire
I thought about your love
I thought about your love

I thought about a burning fire
I thought about a love in fire
I thought about your love
I thought about your love

I thought about a burning fire
I thought about a burning fire
I thought about your love
I thought about your love

I thought about a love
I thought about love

[xSTEADFASTx]

Ok; I know the song I posted is interested; let me explain what I get from it. God is often viewed as an all consumuning fire. Often with the holy spirit is linked as the "fire of God". To me it talks about the beauty of growth and the pain that comes with it. Its not a worship song; but when I listen to it I get alot out of it.

[Loe1]

To all who are thirsty
All who are weak
Come to the fountain
And drink from the stream of life
Let the pain and the sorrow
Be washed away
By the waves of his mercy
As deep cries out to deep
Come Lord Jesus, come
Come Lord Jesus, come

I dont know the rest but that has been stuck in my head for the past month. Also 'Everything' by Lifehouse.

[Zak of Elsta]

I play guitar and sing for my churchs worship team, and my favorite song is what we like to call "redeemer"

Thank you, Ooh my Father, for giving us your Son.
and leaving your spirit here, til work on earth is done.

thats the chorus, and if you want an actual recorded audio of the wholething, email me and i can send you one.

[judi<>><]

Does anyone know the song that tells of the different types of Jehovah (sp?) that Christ is.. Jehovah Jirah, Rappa, etc.. I only heard the song once and I really would like to know the name of the song..

I will love You Lord, Always

And I will praise You all my days
Not just for the change
You've made in me
But I'll praise You for You are holy, Lord
And I'll lift my hands, but You are worhty of so much more

HearingGod’sVoice,

Here is another song written many years ago by Steve Fry, but still popular and possibly the one you are referring to. It can be found on the CD “We Are Called”, which was nominated for a Dove Award in 2002. It is titled "Abba Father". As it is sung it crescendos. This is not the current popular song by the same title.

ABBA FATHER

(Solo) You are my righteousness,
(Choir echoes) you are my righeousness.

(Solo) You are my peace,
(Choir) you are my peace.

(Solo) You are my strength,
(Choir) you are my strength.

(Solo) You are my wisdom,
(Choir) you are my wisdom.

(Solo) You are my joy,
(Choir) you are my joy.

(Solo) Father, Father, Jehovah Shammah,
You are the one who's standing near.
(Choir joins) Father, Father, Jehovah Shalom,
You are peace, Jehovah Ropheh.
You are my healing, Yahweh my God.

Abba Father Abba Father.
Deep within my soul I cry.
Abba Father, Abba Father,
I will never cease to love you.
I will never cease to love you.

Abba Father Abba Father.
Deep within my soul I cry.
Abba Father, Abba Father,
I will never cease to love you.
I will never cease to love you.

[miepie]

Do you mean this one ACCM?

Artist:One Bad Pig (http://www.christianrocklyrics.com/onebadpig.php)Album:SmashSong:Isaiah 6

My sleep was shattered by blinding light
High and lifted up upon His throne
Was the great I AM and me alone
Jehova´s glory was all about
All heaven shook with the angel shout:
"Three times holy is this God of might"

Chorus:
Here am I - send me
Here am I - take me
Here am I - use me
Here am I - spend me
Send me, take me, use me, spend me, I am not my own

His righteousness screams that I have sinned
Holy conviction rips me apart
A coal from the fire burns through to my heart
Clean was I by the holy King´s choice
Then all was still except for his voice
"Who will go for us? Whom shall i send

Here am I - send me
Here am I - take me
Here am I - use me
Here am I - spend me
Send me, take me, use me, spend me, I am not my own(2x)
Here am I - send me
Here am I - take me
Here am I - use meHere am I - spend me
Send me, take me, use me, spend me, I am not my own
HERE AM I!

ACCM,

I think the song is by Andy Park. I believe I heard it once about 10 years ago. It is a great song!, but if its this one, I don't believe it is available anymore. You might write Vineyard to see if you could possibly find it.

Blessings,

BHS

[miepie]

That might not be the one.... this is the lyric of that song by Andy Park:

Isaiah VI

(Andy Park)






Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty

All the angels cry out holy
All the angels exalt Your Name
Crying holy, holy, holy, holy is the Lord

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty

All your people cry out holy
All your people exalt Your Name
Crying holy, holy, holy, holy is the Lord

Glory, glory, glory to the Lord God Almighty
Glory, glory, glory to the Lord God Almighty

The whole earth is filled with your glory
The whole earth will exalt Your Name
Crying holy, holy, holy, holy is the Lord




Love you,

I have a new favorite song. It's called You Raise Me Up, by Selah.


There is another version of this song by Josh Groban that gets a lot of radio play, but I don't like his version as much. The Selah version made me cry the first time I heard it!

You can watch the video and hear the song here if you have Windows Media Player or Real Player:

http://www.lifesongs.com/video%5Fvault/



When I am down, and oh my soul, so weary
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence
Until You come and sit awhile with me

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on Your shoulders
You raise me up—to more than I can be

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on Your shoulders
You raise me up—to more than I can be

There is no life—no life without its hunger
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly
But when You come and I am filled with wonder
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on Your shoulders
You raise me up—to more than I can be

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on Your shoulders
You raise me up—to more than I can be

I agree, a really beautiful song, karenmot ! The beginning of this song always makes me get a bit emotional. Josh Groban's version, although its target is the secular stations gets a lot of airplay on the Christian radio station here. Is the Selah version by a Christian band/artist? Josh Groban's "My Confession" has lyrics that I think would sound amazing sung by a Christian artist.

Yes, Selah is a Christian band, and the rest of the songs on their CD are hymns, etc.

I guess the reason that I like the Selah version better is because they are singing to the Lord, but I am not sure who Josh Groban is referring to when he say "You raise me up...". I have heard many of the other songs on his CD on Napster, and he tends to sing a lot of romantic ballads. He may be singing to a woman here, which kind of ruins the song for me...... Besides, he has an OK voice, but I like the voices of the members of Selah better (especially the first guy...)

[qbee]

My alltime favorite song and lyric

How Great Thou Art

Oh Lord my God when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed

When Christ shall come
With shout of acclamation
To take me home
What joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim my God how great Thou art

Then sings :o my soul my savior God to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art

Then sings :o my soul my savior God to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art

ooooh - i'm a big BIG *BIIIIG* music lover, so this post may be a bit lengthy

:D :pp :P

here are some of my fave lyrics.. and, after glancing through all *10* pages of this thread, i can NOT believe no one has posted these lyrics *giggle*

Audio Adrenaline

"Big House"

I don't know where you lay your head
or where you call your home
I don't know where you eat your meals
or where you talk on the phone
I don't know if you got a cook
a butler or a maid
I don't know if you got a yard
with a hammock in the shade

I don't know if you got some shelter
say a place to hide
I don't know if you live with friends
in whom you can confide
I don't know if you got a family
say a mom or dad
I don't know if you feel love at all
but I bet you wish you had

PRE-CHORUS
Come and go with me
to my Fathers house
Come and go with me
to my Fathers house

CHORUS
It's a big big house
with lots and lots a room
A big big table
with lots and lots of food
A big big yard
where we can play football
A big big house
Its my Fathers house

Ibidibidee bop bop bow whew! yeah!

All I know is a big ole house
with rooms for everyone
All I know is lots a land
where we can play and run
All I know is you need love
and I've got a family
All I know is your all alone
so why not come with me?

Artist:Kids In The Way (http://www.christianrocklyrics.com/kidsintheway.php)
Album:Safe From The Losing Fight
Song:Hallelujah
I'm sick and tired of watching over you.
Never knowing what you're gonna do.
Every step you take is closer and closer to falling far away.
What's It gonna take,
what's It take to make you see.
If it all came down tonight.
Safe from the losing fight.
Just know I only want to hear you say.
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
He's alive in me today.
Everyday you search for something new.
You turn your back on things that make you choose.
And everytime you do, you're closer and closer to falling far away.
What's It gonna take, what's It take to make you see...

this band is a *little* hard.. sometimes they remind me of tool, sometimes it's Linkin Park, sometimes it's just a little old fashioned Limp Biskit.. but they def. rock!

Song: A Shadow On Me

These petals
This blackened rose in a soil all my own
Shrouding your hallowed ground
Like seeds who'll never sow
Like forgery and larceny and my ill-gained revelry
I recite these scripted lines while embers of a different time...
Go drifting by
[Pre-Chorus]
When every word you ever said came true
All I missed in all of this was you
[Chorus]
Can you see a shadow on me?
Calling me to leave
Find in me a trace of you in all this tragedy
You're the only home I know
These pieces
The shattered shard dancing in the moonlight
Glimmering and glistening
Preparing me for the night
I never learned to walk the surface on my own
So lately, this ocean floor has been feeling more like home
[Bridge]
So take me in these fleeting moments of solitude in you
Remove this sordid fascination with shadow
And remove this shattered self of preservation
All that you forgave and give all you promised to...
[Outro]
Can you see this shadow lifting?
Drifting home again

Song: Fingernails

Never reaching what I want to reach
Never being who I want to be
Blaming me when I fall and fail
All my dreams splintering
Under my fingernails
Under my fingernails

I’m empty, lonely, and accused
Accused without a word
My fingernails are chipping down
From clawing in the dirt
I’m so lost, lost and confused
I threw it all away
How can I be beautiful
When I am so afraid

Never reaching what I want to reach
Never being who I want to be
Blaming me when I fall and fail
All my dreams splintering
Under my fingernails
All my dreams out of reach
Under my fingernails

I watched it all slip through my hands
My brokenness revealed
I’m so proud, I’m so proud
I’m crying to be filled
I’m killing, destroying the plague
That’s killing me away
I’ve got to live, I’ve got to love
Like I am unafraid

Never reaching what I want to reach
Never being who I want to be
Blaming me when I fall and fail
All my dreams splintering
Under my fingernails (2x)

All my dreams out of reach
Under my fingernails

I’m wasting, wasting every moment
I want to be tasting
Tasting every moment with you
I’m suffering, I’m bleeding, on my knees
Who’s going to save me?
Suffering, bleeding
Save me from this pit of frailty

Never reaching what I want to reach
Never being who I want to be
Blaming me when I fall and fail
All my dreams splintering
Under my fingernails (2x)

All my dreams out of reach
Under my fingernails

Never reaching me

Song: Pride Away

Have you ever seen a man stumbled and fallen
All due to his pride
I don’t want to be another one
Fallen due to my pride

Take my pride away
Pride away
Take my pride away
Pride away
Take my pride away

Lord keep me only focused on You
Make me a humble man
Don’t ever let me take the credit
For all that you have done

Take my pride away
Pride away
Take my pride away
Pride away
Take my pride away

Standing here amidst this point of definition
Pushing for position as I battle opposition
Am I on a mission or is it all in vain
Do you notice the difference or is it all the same
And who do I blame when my vision gets blurry I
Get in a hurry frusterated and feeling fury
Faith is enduring to stand the test of time
Answers are plain we make them hard to define
But pull from divine when problems arise
But pride denies and my stand never survives
In every one of our lives in every single day
We need to lay down our pride as God takes it away

Take my pride away
Pride away
Take my pride away
Pride away
Take my pride away

[qbee]

On November 14th of 2003, my 4 yr old daughter passed away. She had had respiratory problems and seizures her entire life, and on that morning when we went into her room, she had stopped breathing. The paramedics got her heart started and rushed her to the ER, but she only made it a few hours longer. We feel that God blessed us with those hours as all of her family who loved her were able to come and say their goodbyes. During the entire morning, the song that kept playing over and over in my wife's and my heads was "Jesus, What a Beautiful Name." When it looked like she was slipping away and wasn't going to make it, the Dr. let my wife hold her in a rocking chair. My wife sang Cori this song while she was entering God's Kingdom. It was quite a powerful moment. Later that night, we were again struck by God's awesome power and timing. We were watching a video of her birth. They let us play music in the birthing room, and this song was playing at the exact moment she came into the world. Needless to say, this song is very special to us.

Jesus, What A Beautiful Name

Jesus, what a beautiful name
Son of God, Son of Man
Lamb that was slain
Joy and peace, strength and hope
Grace that blows all fear away
Jesus, what a beautiful name

Jesus, what a beautiful name
Truth revealed, my future sealed
Healed my pain
Love and freedom, life and warmth
Grace that blows all fear away
Jesus, what a beautiful name

Jesus, what a beautiful name
Rescued my soul, my stronghold
Lifts me from shame
Forgiveness, security, power and love
Grace that blows all fear away
Jesus, what a beautiful name

I can see why this song is so special to you.
I have never heard it before. I was blessed
by you posting it.

Jesus what a beautiful name.

Cori is a beautiful name also.

I Praise God she is wth HIM.



Love and Blessings

Song: In Me

Where were you last night when the party was on
Where were you when we all went down to the bar
It seems you have changed from us all
It seems you have changed

You want to know, The differences beteween us
You want to know, why these things have changed
You've got to know the One who lives in me
He lives in me, in me

Only seven days ago
i let go of my life yes i gave it all
I let go of all i use to do and gave it all away

You want to know, The differences beteween us
You want to know, why these things have changed
You've got to know the One who lives in me
He lives in me, in me

He lives in me, in me He lives.....

You want to know, The differences beteween us
You want to know, why these things have changed
You've got to know the One who lives in me
He lives in me, in me

in me, in me

Song: Tonight

I hear the voice
Of thousands
All gathered here
Are they just a noise
Soon lost in air
Or is there more
Is there more
You lift your hands up high
Reaching to the sky
Is there a reason
Can, can you tell me why
Or is there more
Is there more
So let me ask you
Can’t you feel the music
All around you
Flashing lights
But love can fill your mind
Can’t you feel the sounds
Of love flow through you
We’re praising Him tonight
Can’t you feel the music
All around you
Flashing lights
But love can fill your mind
Can’t you feel the sounds
Of love flow through you
We’re praising Him tonight
Some say that
It’s, it’s not right
For us to praise
On, on this type of night
Tonight there’s more
There’s more
So let me ask you
Can’t you feel the music
All around you
Flashing lights
But love can fill your mind
Can’t you feel the sounds
Of love flow through you
We’re praising Him tonight

In The Garden

VERSE #1
I come to the garden alone,
While the dew is still on the roses,
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear,
The Son of God discloses.
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.

VERSE #2
He speaks, and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that He gave to me,
Within my heart is ringing.
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.

VERSE #3
I'd stay in the garden with Him,
Tho' the night around me be falling,
But He bids me go, thro' the voice of woe,
His voice to me is calling.
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.


================================================== =====


Love Lifted Me

VERSE #1
I was sinking deep in sin,
far from a peaceful shore,
Very deeply stained within,
sinking to rise no more;
But the Master of the sea,
heard my despairing cry,
From the waters lifted me,
now safe am I.
Love lifted me! Love lifted me! (2X)
When nothing else could help,
Love lifted me.

VERSE #2
All my heart to Him I give,
ever to Him I'll cling,
In His blessed prescence live,
ever His praises sing;
Love so mighty and so true,
merits my soul's best songs;
Faithful loving service, too,
to Him belongs.
Love lifted me! Love lifted me! (2X)
When nothing else could help,
Love lifted me.

VERSE #3
Souls in danger, look above,
Jesus completely saves;
He will lift you by His love,
out of angry waves,
He's the Master of the sea,
billows His will obey;
He your Saviour wants to be,
be saved today.
Love lifted me! Love lifted me! (2X)
When nothing else could help,
Love lifted me.

Audio Adrenaline

"Big House"



Big House is OK, but I like another song by Audio Adrenaline much better:


Get Down


Lavishly our lives are wasted
Humbleness is left untasted
You can't live your life to please yourself , yeah
That's a tip from my mistakes
Exactly what it doesn't take
To win you've got to come in last place
To live your life you've got to lose it
And all the losers get a crown


I get down and He lifts me up
I get down and He lifts me up
I get down and He lifts me up
I get down


All I need's another day
Where I can't seem to get away
From the many things that drag me down, yeah
I'm sure you've had a day like me
Where nothing seems to set you free
From the burdens you can't carry all alone
In your weakness He is stronger
In Your darkness He shines through
When you're crying He's your comfort
When your all alone, He's carrying you

I get down and He lifts me up
I get down and He lifts me up
I get down and He lifts me up
I get down


This valley is so deep
I can barely see the sun
I cry out for mercy, Lord
You lift me up again

[Shawna]

This is one of my favorite songs in the whole world because it really gets what I feel towards God out in words.

NO YOU
By ZOEGirl

Been feeling so crazy lately
When it seems that You're not around
The sun and the moon shine bright
But my eyes are all Yours now
Don't know how I'd live with out You
I don't remember how it used to feel
Lord, I can't imagine if
I had no You to hold me

CHORUS
Where would I go with no You to run to
No You to hold me when I am afraid?
Who would I be with no You beside me?
I oughta know it by now without You there's no me
Ohhh, there's no me

Lord, when I need You,
You're always here
To play through the laughter, love throught the tears
And when my heart seems so far away
Into Your arms is where I wanna stay
I try to find the words to tell You
All the things my heart's been telling me
I don't wanna know how it feels
to have no You to love me

CHORUS

[Jer]

I'm sure this song will have been put down so many times, but it's such a great song I'll put it down.

Shout To The Lord

My Jesus, My Savior,
Lord, there is none like You;
All of my days
I want to praise
the wonders of Your mighty love.

My comfort, my shelter,
Tower of refuge and strength;
let every breath, all that I am
never cease to worship You.

Shout to the Lord, all the earth,
let us sing
power and majesty, praise to the King;
mountains bow down and the seas will roar
at the sound of Your name.

(Key Change)

I sing for joy at the work of Your hands,
forever I'll love You, forever I'll stand,
nothing compares to the promise I have in You.

[john_316]

I'm sure some of your have heard one of these

(what a day that will be)
there'll be no sarrow there no more burdens to bare no more sickness no pain. No more parting over there and forever I shall be with the one who died for me. What a day, glorious day that will (chorus) what a day that will be, when my Jesus i shall see when i look upon his face the one who saved me by his grace when i look upon his face the one who saved me by his garce. Then he'll take me by the had and lead me threw the promised land, what a day, and glorious day that will be.

(leaving 99)
I'm lost and broken all alone on this road
The wheels keep turning but the feeling is gone
when I fear I'm on my own
But you remind me i am not alone

You say..

I'd leave ninety-nine
Leave them all behind
To find you
(For you alone) I'd leave ninety-nine
Leave them all behind
To find you

It's dark and lonely and the path is unclear
Can't move my feet because I'm frozen with fear
And you say, my child, my child
i am always here, i'm at your side

I'd leave ninety-nine
Leave them all behind
To find you
(For you alone) I'd leave ninety-nine
Leave them all behind
To find you

you're never too far down
I promise you'll be found,
i'll reach into the mud,
miry clay
pursue you to the end,
like a faithful friend,
nothing in this world,
will keep me away,

I'd leave ninety-nine
Leave them all behind
To find you
(For you alone) I'd leave ninety-nine
Leave them all behind
To find you...
to find you..


hope you like :D

[~~*ek*~~]

this is kind of a "kids" song, but i've always loved it & loved singing it!!


I am the church.
You are the church.
We are the church together.
All who follow Jesus,
All around the world,
Yes we’re the church together.


The church is not a building, the church is not a steeple,
The church is not a resting place, the church is a people.
I am the church!
You are the church!
We are the church together!
All who follow Jesus, all around the world!
Yes, we're the church together!

[HisGrace]

This praise song was brought to my attention recently -

Something beautiful, something good
All my confusion, He understood
All I had to offer Him
Was brokenness and strife
But He made something beautiful of my life.


Greater the pain, greater the glory

[Traci]

I love listening to this song! I hadn't heard it, since I was 4 years old..and then recently..the Holy Spirit reminded me of it..and I went searching for it.


The gates and doors were barred
And all the windows fastened down
I spent the night in sleeplessness
And rose at every sound
Half in hopeless sorrow
And half in fear the day
Would find the soldiers breakin' through
To drag us all away
And just before the sunrise
I heard something at the wall
The gate began to rattle
And a voice began to call
I hurried to the window
Looked down into the street
Expecting swords and torches
And the sound of soldier's feet
But there was no one there but Mary
So I went down to let her in
John stood there beside me
As she told me where she'd been
She said they've moved Him in the night
And none of us knows where
The stones been rolled away
And now his body isn't there
So we both ran toward the garden
Then John ran on ahead
We found the stone and empty tomb
Just the way that Mary said
But the winding sheet they wrapped him in
Was just an empty shell
And how or where they'd taken Him
Was more than I could tell
Oh something strange had happened there
Just what I did not know
John believed a miracle
But I just turned to go
Circumstance and speculation
Couldn't lift me very high
'Cause I'd seen them crucify Him
Then I saw Him die
Back inside the house again
The guilt and anguish came
Everything I'd promised Him
Just added to my shame
When at last it came to choices
I denied I knew His name
And even if He was alive
It wouldn't be the same
But suddenly the air was filled
With a strange and sweet perfume
Light that came from everywhere
Drove shadows from the room
And Jesus stood before me
With His arms held open wide
And I fell down on my knees
And I just clung to Him and cried
Then He raised me to my feet
And as I looked into his eyes
The love was shining out from Him
Like sunlight from the skies
Guilt in my confusion
Disappeared in sweet release
And every fear I'd ever had
Just melted into peace
He's alive yes He's alive
Yes He's alive and I'm forgiven
Heaven's gates are open wide
Has alive yes Has alive
Oh He's alive and I'm forgiven
Heavens gates are open wide
He's alive He's alive
Hallelujah He's alive
He's alive and I'm forgiven
Heaven's gates are open wide
He's alive He's alive He's alive :D :D
Sweet Jesus

i searched for a long time to no avail.
:hmm:I haven't been to this thead in awhile. Great songs everyone! :)


~~*ek*~~, I found the lyrics :)

Lily Of The Valley
Words: Charles W. Fry, 1881


I have found a friend in Jesus, He’s everything to me,
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul;
The Lily of the Valley, in Him alone I see
All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.
In sorrow He’s my comfort, in trouble He’s my stay;
He tells me every care on Him to roll.

Refrain

He’s the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

He all my grief has taken, and all my sorrows borne;
In temptation He’s my strong and mighty tower;
I have all for Him forsaken, and all my idols torn
From my heart and now He keeps me by His power.
Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempt me sore,
Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal.

Refrain

He will never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here,
While I live by faith and do His blessèd will;
A wall of fire about me, I’ve nothing now to fear,
From His manna He my hungry soul shall fill.
Then sweeping up to glory to see His blessèd face,
Where the rivers of delight shall ever roll.

Refrain


God bless. :)

A friend bought this CD for my husband and I.
I just love it!! Especially this song!


Healing Rain
by Michael W. Smith

Album : Healing Rain



Healing rain is coming down

It's coming nearer to this old town

Rich and poor, weak and strong

It's bringing mercy, it won't be long

Healing rain is coming down

It's coming closer to the lost and found

Tears of joy, and tears of shame

Are washed forever in Jesus' name

Healing rain, it comes with fire

So let it fall and take us higher

Healing rain, I'm not afraid

To be washed in Heaven's rain

Lift your heads, let us return

To the mercy seat where time began

And in your eyes, I see the pain

Come soak this dry heart with healing rain

And only You, the Son of man

Can take a leper and let him stand

So lift your hands, they can be held

By someone greater, the great I Am

Healing rain, it comes with fire

So let it fall and take us higher

Healing rain, I'm not afraid

To be washed in Heaven's rain

To be washed in Heaven's rain...

Healing rain is falling down

Healing rain is falling down

I'm not afraid

I'm not afraid...

I will offer up my life
In spirit and truth,
Pouring out the oil of love
As my worship to You
In surrender I must give my every part;
Lord, receive the sacrifice
Of a broken heart

CHORUS:
Jesus, what can I give, what can I bring
To so faithful a friend, to so loving a King?
Savior, what can be said, what can be sung
As a praise of Your name
For the things You have done?
Oh my words could not tell, not even in part
Of the debt of love that is owed
By this thankful heart

You deserve my every breath
For You've paid the great cost;
Giving up Your life to death,
Even death on a cross
You took all my shame away,
There defeated my sin
Opened up the gates of heaven
And have beckoned me in

[HisGrace]

Another Favourite of Mine -

If That Isn't Love

He left the splendor of heaven
Knowing His destiny
Was the lonely hill of Golgotha
There to lay down His life for me

And if that isn't love
Then the ocean is dry
There's no stars in the sky
And the little sparrows can't fly
Yeah if that isn't love
Then heaven's a myth
There's no feeling like this
If that isn't love

Even in death He remembered
The thief hanging by His side
Then he spoke of love and compassion
And He took him to paradise

And if that isn't love
Then the ocean is dry
There's no stars in the sky
And the little sparrows can't fly
Yeah if that isn't love
Then heaven's a myth
There's no feeling like this
If that isn't love It's got to be love

[Lil Sis]

One Small Child--by David Meece--"Odyssey" Album

One small child in a land of a thousand
One small dream of a Savior tonight
One small hand reaching out to the starlight
One small Savior of life

One king bringing his gold and riches
One king ruling an army of might
One king kneeling with incense and canglelight
One king bringing us life

See Him lying a cradle beneath Him
See Him smiling in the stall
See His mother praising His Father
See His tiny eyelids fall

See the shepherds kneeling before Him
See the kings on bended knee
Oh, See the mother praising the Father
See the Blessed infant sleep.

One small child in a land of a thousand
One small dream of a Savior tonight
One small hand reaching out to the starlight
One small Savior of life

[HisGrace]

Ten Thousand Thanks to Jesus ,

Whose life our ransom paid,
Whose blood a full atonement
For all the world has made.
Let every heart adore Him;
Let every creature sing
Ten thousand thanks to Jesus,
Our Savior and our King.

Chorus
Ten thousand thanks, Ten thousand thanks,
We'll praise Him o'er and o'er;
And for the life with Him to live,
Ten thousand thousand more.


Ten thousand thanks to Jesus;
How gladly would we give
Ten thousand lives to Jesus,
Had we so long to live.
Ten thousand tongues shall praise Him,
Ten thousand songs ascend
To Him, our blest Redeemer,
To Him, our dearest Friend!

Ten thousand thanks to Jesus
For blessings every hour;
Ten thousand times ten thousand,
For love’s redeeming power;
And when we hear His welcome
Beyond the rolling sea,
His love thro’ endless ages
Our sweetest song shall be!

[karenmot]

Just when I think I've got it, Its gone.
When I think I know the answer,
And I dare to raise my hand, Its wrong.

Stop stop stop, This foolish pride of mine
that dares to drag me far away from You.
When I try to do it my way
I always lose, I always lose, Your point of view.

Oh, I don't have to be condemned
Jesus saved me from the laws of sin.
If I fall, I'll try again.
With the spirit as my guide,
I won't ever have to hide again.

Well I, I, try to close my eyes
like a child playing in a game of hide and seek.
If I cannot see the Lord
then surely the Lord cannot see me.
As if I could ever keep him from spying me.
All the plans of this man,
They're nothing more, Nothin more than evil schemes

Oh, I don't have to be condemned
Jesus saved me from the laws of sin.
If I fall, I'll try again.
With the spirit as my guide,
I won't ever have to hide again.

Oh, I don't have to be condemned
Jesus saved me from the laws of sin.
If I fall, I'll try again.
With the spirit as my guide,
with the spirit as my guide...

I don't have to be....
Jesus saved me, Jesus saved me...
I don't have to, I won't be condemned...

[karenmot]

This is my prayer --



Scattered words and empty thoughts
seem to pour from my heart
I've never felt so torn before
seems I don't know where to start
but it's now that I feel Your grace fall like rain
from everytime fingertip, washing away my pain

I still believe in Your faithfulness
I still believe in Your truth
I still believe in Your holy word
even when I don't see, I still believe


Though the questions still fog up my mind
with promises I still seem to bear
even when answers slowly unwind
it's my heart I see You prepare
but its now that I feel Your grace fall like rain
from every finger tip, washing away my pain

I still believe in Your faithfulness
I still believe in Your truth
I still believe in Your holy word
even when I don't see, I still believe


The only place I can go is into Your arms
where I throw to You my feeble prayers
in brokenness I can see that this was Your will for me
Help me to know You're near

I still believe in Your faithfulness
I still believe in Your truth
I still believe in Your holy word
even when I don't see, I still believe

--Jeremy Camp

[Katatonic]

This isn't a Christian song, but it is so beautiful and simple it makes me cry every time.

Porcupine Tree - Feel So Low

So see how long I can last
You can pretend that I don't exist for you
And I can laugh about it now
But I hated every minute
I was waiting for your email
And each day that you forgot to call
Just made me feel so low
So low

Christmas 1998
I tried to call
I just couldn't wait
And your message was out of date
So I left my voice on your machine
But you did not respond
OK OK OK you've won
You make me feel so low
So low

[karenmot]

Blessing and honor, glory and power,
be unto the Ancient of Days!
From every nation, all of creation,
bow before the Ancient of Days!

Every tongue in Heaven and earth shall declare Your glory!
Every knee will bow at Your throne in worship!
You will be exalted, O God!
And Your Kingdom shall not pass away, O Ancient of Days!

Your kingdom shall reign over all the earth,
Sing unto the Ancient of Days!
For none can compare to Your matchless worth,
Sing unto the Ancient of Days!

[sanctified]

I have two:) I'm going to be balling my eyes out by the time I've finished typing these, because both of these songs do that to me.

God is watching over you - Phil Joel

He sees you down by the waterline
Knows what you're thinking all the time
He sees the rising of the waves
And when the tide starts rolling in
He lets you know it's gonna be okay

He sees you dancing in the moonlight
His arms around you hold you tight
And if those clouds should start to break
He'll be standing out in the rain with you
And though it's hard to believe
He believes in you

God is watching over you as always
You are loved whatever you go through
He's right beside you
God is watching over you as always
And if you think He'll ever leave you
You'd better think again

Painted in the sky a rainbow to remind you
Nothing that it broken cannot be made new
He knows when you feel so far away
He's gonna keep the nightlight on
He's waiting there, there to recieve you

God is watching over you as always
You are loved whatever you go through
He's right beside you
God is watching over you as always
And if you think He'll ever leave you
You'd better think again

Through fire, through wind, and through rain
Yesterday, today, and tomorrow the same
Nothing here could take this love
Nothing you could do would break this love
Climb a tree, gonna reach so high
Swing low, sweet chariot
It's time to fly

And if you think He'll ever leave you
You'd better think again

God is watching over you as always
You are loved whatever you go through
He's right beside you
God is watching over you as always
And if you think He'll ever leave you
You'd better think again

In Your hands - (not sure of the singer)

I'm so secure
You're here with me
You stay the same
Your love remains
Here in my heart

And so close I believe
You're holding me now
In Your hands I belong
You'll never let me go
So close I believe
You're holding me now
In Your hands I belong
You'll never let me go

You gave Your life
In Your endless love
You set me free
And showed the way
Now I am found

So close I believe
You're holding me now
In Your hands I belong
You'll never let me go
So close I believe
You're holding me now
In Your hands I belong
You'll never let me go

All along, You were beside me
Even when I couldn't tell
Through the years
You've shown me more of You
More of You...

And You're so close I believe
You're holding me now
In Your hands I belong
You'll never let me go
So close I believe
You're holding me now
In Your hands I belong
You'll never let me go

In Your hands I belong
You'll never let me go....

[karenmot]

This song is very personal to me --





Sometimes my little heart can't understand
what's in Your will? what's in Your plan?
So many times I'm tempted to ask You why.
But I can never forget it for long,
Lord what You do could not be wrong;
So I believe You even why I must cry...



Do I trust You Lord? Does the river flow?
Do I trust You Lord? Does the north wind blow?
You can see my heart...
You can read my mind...
And You've got to know I would rather die
than to lose my faith in the One I love
Do I trust You Lord?
Do I trust you?



I know the answers, I've given them all...
But suddenly now I feel so small
shaken down down to the cavity in my soul.
I know the doctrine and theology,
but right now they don't mean much to me;
This time there's only one thing I've got to know...



Do I trust You Lord? Does the robin sing?
Do I trust You Lord? Does it rain in spring?
You can see my heart...
You can read my mind...
And You've got to know I would rather die
than to lose my faith in the One I love.
Do I trust You Lord? Do I trust you?

I WILL trust You Lord when I don't know why...
I WILL trust You Lord till the day I die...
I WILL trust You Lord when I'm blind with pain...
You were God before and You'll never change...
I will trust You... I will trust You... I will trust You Lord...

Brokenness

In my brokenness
In my my hour of darkness
I will lift my hands and worship You
In my brokenness
In my time of sadness
I will lift my voice in praise to You


Time stands still as I kneel down before You
life draws near
like waves upon the shore You touch me
in my brokenness
in these whispering shadows
I will lift the pieces of my heart to You

Time stands still
as I kneel down before You
life is here
Your waves of power and glory touch me
in my brokeness
in my hour of darkeness
I will lift my hands and worship You

I will lift my hands and worship You

by David Meece

[Rose]

IT IS NO SECRET


It is no secret what God can do,
What He's done for others, He'll do for you.
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you.
It is no secret what God can do.


The chimes of time ring out the news,
Another day is through,
Someone slipped and fell
Was that someone you?


You may have longed for added strength,
Your courage to renew,
Do not be disheartened,
I have news for you.


It is no secret what God can do.
What He's done for others, He'll do for you.
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you.
It is no secret what God can do.


There is no night for in His light
You never walk alone.
Always feel at home,
Wherever you may go.


There is no power can conquer you
While God is on your side.
Take Him at His promise,
Don't run away and hide.


It is no secret what God can do.
What He's done for others, He'll do for you.
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you.
It is no secret what God can do.

[sanctified]

I have two more:) :

I love You Lord
And I lift my voice
To worship You
Oh my soul, rejoice
Take joy my King
In what You hear
Let me be a
Sweet, sweet sound
In Your ear

and:

Create in me a clean heart, O God
And renew a right spirit within me
Create in me a clean heart, O God
And renew a right spirit within me

Cast me not away from Thy presence, O Lord
Take not Thy Holy Spirit from me
Restore unto me the joy of my salvation
And renew a right spirit within me

[crazycheetah]

hmm... here's 2 songs that aren't your formal worship/praise songs, but I worship and praise God while listening to and singing with them, so here they are:


Waiting For Yesterday - 12 Stones

It's a long way back to reality, she puts another
Brick in the wall of shame she made so long ago
Trying to figure out where things went wrong
Searching through all the lies she told
Somehow she missed out on all the things that
She needed most days spent wondering why this
Life is so cold and nothing ever changes

Screaming for attention, watch the sun steal
Yesterday
Hiding all emotion far away

Trying to find his self confidence, another
Broken heart behind the painless smile that he
Shows reminded that yesterday is so far gone
And tomorrow is still a miracle somehow he
Missed out on all the things he needed most days
Spent wondering why this life is so cruel and
Nothing ever changes

Tomorrow's still a miracle



Rivers Underneath - Stavesacre

Somehow stumbled my way home, stood inside the doorway
Staring blind through rooms I knew were missing more than the paintings on the walls
It's hard to call this home, I'm more that just alone
Have I been passed by and left behind again

I feel it pulling me
It's heavy

No desire to wonder why the answers have so long escaped me
But the arms are open wide to rivers underneath the surface
Follow with the tide ease into the cooler water
Farewell and all goodbyes to the shoreline

I'll see you when I see you

Silhouette against the storm romantic standing at the edge
a mystery, now a tragedy left to calloused mourners long grown cold
his story goes untold and no one ever knows
It just disappears beneath the fears he's carried

And I feel them pulling me
Heavy


Remember when we...?
Did you see that...?
Don't forget this moment ever
We belong
this is home
I've missed you so
For now and always
I cannot recall
My life before this

I feel it pulling me
It's heavy

No desire to wonder why the answers have so long escaped me
But the arms are open wide to rivers underneath the surface
Follow with the tide, outside ease into the cooler water
Farewell and all goodbyes to the shoreline

I'll see you when I see you
I'll see you when I see you


Love ya!

[BHS]

“Adonai” sung by Avalon is an older song, but one that means more to me at this time than ever.

ADONAI

One single drop of rain
Your salty tear became blue ocean.
One tiny grain of sand turning in Your hand
The world in motion.
You’re out beyond the furthest Morning Star
Close enough to hold me in Your arms.

Adonai, I lift up my heart and I cry.
My Adonai.
You are Maker of each moment
Father of my hope and freedom.
Oh, my Adonai.

One timid faithful knock
Resounds upon the Rock of Ages.
One trembling heart and soul
Becomes a servant bold and courageous.
You call across the mountains and the seas.
I answer from the deepest part of me.

Adonai, I lift up my heart and I cry.
My Adonai.
You are Maker of each moment
Father of my hope and freedom.
Oh, my Adonai.

From age to age You reign in Majesty
And today You’re making miracles in me.

Adonai, I lift up my heart and I cry.
My Adonai.
You are Maker of each moment
Father of my hope and freedom.
Oh, my Adonai.


Blessings,

BHS

[JesusFreak0927]

Here is my favorite praise of the minute(it changes quite often):

Mercy Me - Homesick

You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you
But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways
The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
Cause I'm still here so far away from home

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

In Christ, there are no goodbye
And in Christ, there is no end
So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have
To see you again
To see you again

And I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

I've never been more homesick than now

[sanctified]

Ends of the Earth

Love unfailing,
Overtaking my heart
You take me in
Finding peace again
Fear is lost in all You are

And I would give the world
To tell Your story
Because I know that
You've called me
I know that You've called me
I've lost myself for good
Within Your promise
And I wont hide it
I wont hide it

Jesus I believe in You
And I would go
To the ends of the earth
To the ends of the earth for You
Alone are the Son of God
And all the world will see
That You are God
That You are God

[Blue Tide]

Kutless: Grace And Love

-----------------------------------
Many things in life are hard for me
Many things can pull us down
I don't understand why I do what I do
How could I take my eyes off you
After all You've done for me
And after all You've done for me

It's by Your grace and love I am saved
It's by Your grace and love You've forgiven me
And by that love and grace I'm amazed
It's by Your grace and love I am free
I am free, I am free, I am free

And it's by grace and love that I am free
I'll live with You eternally
I thank you Lord that I am free
I thank You Lord for loving me
I thank You Lord for dying upon the tree of Calvary
I thank You Lord for loving me
I thank You Lord for dying for me

Because it's by grace and love I am saved
It's by Your grace and love You've forgiven me
And by that love and grace, I'm amazed
It's by Your grace and love I am free
I am free, I am free, I am free

Many things in life are hard for me
Many things can pull us down
But by grace and love You've forgiven me
And by grace and love we are free

Newsboys: When The Tears Fall


-----------------------------------
I've had questions / Without answers /

I've known sorrow/ I have known pain/

But there's one thing / That I'll cling to /

You're faithful / Jesus, You're true ...

When hope is lost / I"ll call You Savior /

When pain surrounds / I'll call You Healer /

When silence falls /

You'll be the song within my heart .. in the lone hour /

Of my sorrow / Through the darkest /

Night of my soul / You surround me /

And sustain me / My Defender /

Forever more. .. And I will praise You /

I will praise You / When the tears fall /

Still I will sing to You / I will praise You /

Jesus, praise You / Through the suffering /

Still I will sing ..

Bebo Norman's latest single that's on the WOW Worship CD (red cover album) here in SA, is so beautiful:

My Lord, what love is this
That pays so dearly
That I, the guilty one
May go free

Amazing love, what sacrifice
The Son of God given for me
My debt he pays, and my death he dies
That I, might live
That I might live

And so, they watched Him die
Despised, rejected
But oh, the blood He shed
Flowed for me

And, this love of Christ
Shall flow like rivers
So come wash your guilt away
Live again

[Lil Sis]

This is my favorite song by my brother Jimmy. It might not seem like a worship song at first glance but to me it's about God's creation and how even when we're alone, we really aren't. Its also about having enough courage to take God's Light out into a dark world. Its difficult to explain the feeling of the tune but I would say its a somewhat sad and hauntingly beautiful song.
Jimmy says everyone here is more than welcome to listen to this song for free at this link:

Jim Davidson
Night



The Dreamers have all laid their heads
The stars are strung in heaven’s web
The earth spins silently ahead
Into the heart of night

The raven sky has taken wing
And silence reigns and black is king
The moon has slipped her silver ring
Upon the hand of night…

And once again I am alone
To see this majesty unfold
I turn my collar to the cold
And walk into the night…

[Lynbob]

Amazing Grace is my all time favorite. I love Can you Imagine? Here are some lines from the hymns that set my soul on fire.


He touched me, oh He touched me

And oh the joy that floods my soul

Something happened and now I know

He touched me and made me whole.



This one brings tears every time:
And He walks with me

And He talks with me

And He tells me I am His own

And the joy we share as we tarry there

None other has ever known



How Great Thou Art is another all time fav:
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,

How great Thou art, How great Thou art.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,

How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

This is a fun thread!:tongue2:

[servant heart]

One that I really relate to is by Audio Adrenaline entitled "Good Life" with the following lyrics:
I’ve watched my dreams all fade away
And blister in the sun
Everything I’ve ever had is unraveled and undone
I’ve set upon a worthless stack
Of my ambitious plans
And the people that I’ve loved the most
Have turned their backs and ran

This is the good life
I’ve lost everything
I could ever want
And ever dream of

This is the good life
I found everything
I could ever need
Here in your arms

Loneliness has left me searching
For someone to love
Poverty has changed my view
Of what true riches are
Sorrow’s opened up my eyes
To see what real joy is
Pain has been the catalyst
To my heart’s happiness

What good would it be
If you had everything
But you wouldn’t have
The only thing you need

Another is by Ray Boltz entitled "One Drop of Blood" with the following lyrics:
Standing in the courtroom
When I heard, how do you plead?
The accuser of the brethren
Was staring at me
He said, we got your number
There is no escape
For here are your transgressions,
Your failures and mistakes

He pointed to the corner
Where the scales of justice stood
I saw so many failures there
There was nothing good
And in that very moment
When it seemed all hope was lost
I said, I plead the blood of Jesus
And his death upon the cross

CHORUS:
One drop of blood
Fell to the scales
It covered my transgressions
And all the times I failed
The enemy was mighty
He came in like a flood
He was defeated by one drop of blood

I stood and watched in silence
As others were brought in
I saw them start to tremble
When they turned and faced their sin
They offered no excuses
They offered no alibis
The truth was overwhelming
And it would not be denied
Their righteousness like filthy rags
And nothing they could say
They bowed their heads in silence
As they were led away
But for the true believers
Each time it was the same
His glory shown around them
As they called upon his name

One drop of blood
Fell to the scales
It covered their transgressions
And all the times they failed
The enemy was mighty
He came in like a flood
He was defeated by one drop of blood

No greater sacrifice has any other made
Oh yes he paid the price
With every drop he gave

And one more by Ray Boltz entitled "At The Foot of the Cross" with the following lyrics:
They were watching from a distance
And they could not
Take their eyes from You
You were bleeding
They were weeping
Faithful sisters, they had followed you
They did not understand
They could not see
They were mourning their loss
As the sky turned black
And the Earth turned red
At the foot of the cross

He was standing near your mother
They were so close
They could hear you sighing
All around them angry voices
Pierced the darkness
And you were dying
But they would not leave
They lingered there
No matter the cost
They were staying
And they were praying
At the foot of the cross

CHORUS:
Keep me near the cross
Near the cross
May I never stray so far
That I cannot see
What flowed down for me
At the foot of the cross

Now Im standing in your presence
And I cannot take my eyes from you
You have risen Im forgiven
Precious Saviour, oh I worship you
No Im not looking back
Ive heard your voice
And Im staying here
Ive made my choice
For now its real, now I kneel
At the foot of the cross

Blessings to all:pray:

There's more that rises in the morning
Than the sun
And more that shines in the night
Than just the moon
It's more than just this fire here
That keeps me warm
In a shelter that is larger
Than this room

And there's a loyalty that's deeper
Than mere sentiments
And a music higher than the songs
That I can sing
The stuff of Earth competes
For the allegiance
I owe only to the Giver
Of all good things

So if I stand let me stand on the promise
That you will pull me through
And if I can't, let me fall on the grace
That first brought me to You
And if I sing let me sing for the joy
That has born in me these songs
And if I weep let it be as a man
Who is longing for his home

There's more that dances on the prairies
Than the wind
More that pulses in the ocean
Than the tide
There's a love that is fiercer
Than the love between friends
More gentle than a mother's
When her baby's at her side

And there's a loyalty that's deeper
Than mere sentiments
And a music higher than the songs
That I can sing
The stuff of Earth competes
For the allegence
I owe only to the Giver
Of all good things

So if I stand let me stand on the promise
That you will pull me through
And if I can't let me fall on the grace
That first brought me to You
And if I sing let me sing for the joy
That has born in me these songs
And if I weep let it be as a man
Who is longing for his home

And if I stand let me stand on the promise
That you will pull me through
And if I can't let me fall on the grace
That first brought me to You
And if I sing let me sing for the joy
That has born in me these songs
And if I weep let it be as a man
Who is longing for his home

And if I weep let it be as a man
Who is longing for his home

Probably one of my all time favorite tunes is "When God Ran" by Benny Hester

Almighty God,
The Great I Am
Immoveable Rock,
Omnipotent powerful

Awesome Lord,
Victorious Warrior
Mighty Conquerer,
Commanding King of Kings
And the only time,
the only time I ever saw Him run
Was when

He ran to me,
Took me in His arms, held my head to His chest
And said "My son's come home again".
Looked in my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice
He said "Son, do you know I still love you?"

It caught me by surprise when God ran

The day I left Home,
I knew I'd broken His heart
I wondered if
Things would ever be the same,

Then one night,
I remembered His love for me
And down that dusty road, ahead I could see
It was the only time,
the only time I ever saw Him run

Was when He ran to me,
Took me in His arms, held my head to His chest
And said "My son's come home again".
Looked in my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice
He said "Son, do you know I still love you?"

It caught me by surprise, It dropped me to my knees
When God ran

Bridge
Holy God, Righteous One
Who turned my way
Now I know, You've been waiting
For this day

Along with Bryan Duncan's "Strollin' On The Water"
Open up my eyes I pray
Lord for just a little glimpse of you
That's all I need
All I've ever needed
To see beyond myself, beyond this tiny little world
At all your hands have made,
With beauty and strength alone
I can see you comin' to me now
Ah, like a shimmering light
A shimmering light on an open sea
Barefoot on the water, laughin' at the ocean
Like you were old friends
And callin' out my name sayin' join me now
Strollin' on the water... high over every care
Strollin' on the water... sinking no longer
Let me rise above the high tide
I can do it, I'll do it yeah,
I know where my strength comes from
Help me cut these bonds where I keep my spirit tied down
All safe and dry... safe and dry and so afraid
Let me come to you, let me run to you,
While my heart's still beating, beating in my throat,
With my sweaty palms and a mouth so dry
Shakin' till I can't stand still
All I'm askin', all I'm askin' is to
Let me cross that great divide between you and I
Only you can take me there, so take me there
Strollin' on the water... high over every care
Strollin' on the water... sinking no longer
Let me rise above the high tide
I can do it, I'll do it yeah, I know that you said
Follow me... just let the water flow... let it go
Oh, and keep your eyes on me
You feel alive?
Try turnin' circles... bend your knees
And hold your hands up high
Can ya feel the wind in your hair... with your eyes closed
Take a breath of fresh air... feel the mist on your toes
(look where we are)

Remember Me

from "Mark Schultz"

by Mark Schultz



Remember me

In a Bible cracked and faded by the years

Remember me

In a sanctuary filled with silent prayer


*
And age to age

And heart to heart

Bound by grace and peace

Child of wonder

Child of God

I've remembered you

Remember me


*
Remember me

When the color of the sunset fills the sky

Remember me

When you pray and tears of joy

fall from your eyes


*
And age to age


And heart to heart

Bound by grace and peace

Child of wonder

Child of God

I've remembered you

Remember me

*
Remember me

When the children leave

their Sunday school with smiles

Remember me

When they're old enough to teach

Old enough to preach

Old enough to leave


*
And age to age


And heart to heart

Bound by grace and peace

Child of wonder

Child of God

I've remembered you

Remember me

[crazycheetah]

This is just another song. Not necessarily worship or anything, again. But it's worship as far as I care. It's also one that didn't quite strike me for a while... I liked it, but I've been listening to it over a few times lately, and it's started growing on me a lot more than before.


a room, thick with wine
and all of the sadness
of a heart that time alone won’t heal:

do you remember all the bad times
when precious few were found by my side?
you stood by
while others whispered word of my demise.
your presence... a comfort in the the longest of nights
i cried and cried and you let me
hide behind the love you always gave

(chorus)
i know you had no blind hope of saving the world
you only gave it and asked none in return
you knew that though years may pass by,
loving takes more time for some of us.

while in retreat to all our outer stations
death has caught us all by surprise
you told me,
you gave so long and nothing was returned
a burden that you no longer choose to endure
and all you were is gone now
buried by the years and lost in all of the words

(chorus)
i don’t have
some blind hope of saving the world
i only wanted you to know your love is returned
i know that the years have passed by,
but loving takes more time for some of us

a car crash and another hero falls
breaking hearts and phone calls
everyone and no one was there at all
what now?


This one (yeah, I know, it's the same band) is along the same lines... but this one just has a lot I can relate to, and is just a good song, in my opinion:


couples gather on the street
no way they notice me
but i watch them walk together
and it reminds me
of nights when everyone was gone
and i ended up alone
nights that were unsafe to hope for anything

lately i have noticed that so much
is not what i imagined it’d be.
when the harder times come calling on us
we’ll know if we’re gonna need

(chorus)
promises
don’t promise me
say yes
say no or yes
but don’t promise

for all the reasons not to try
i can’t forget the times
i swore that if i finally knew
the answers to my prayers those nights
when it came time to decide i’d just know
and i would be ready

lately i have noticed that so much
is not what i’d imagined it’d be
when the harder times come calling on us
we’ll know if we’re gonna need


Love ya!

"Breath of Heaven"
Amy Grant


I have traveled many moonless nights,
Cold and weary with a babe inside,
And I wonder what I’ve done.
Holy father you have come,
And chosen me now to carry your son.

I am waiting in a silent prayer.
I am frightened by the load I bear.
In a world as cold as stone,
Must I walk this path alone?
Be with me now.
Be with me now.

Breath of heaven,
Hold me together,
Be forever near me,
Breath of heaven.
Breath of heaven,
Lighten my darkness,
Pour over me your holiness,
For you are holy.
Breath of heaven.

Do you wonder as you watch my face,
If a wiser one should have had my place,
But I offer all I am
For the mercy of your plan.
Help me be strong.
Help me be.
Help me.

Breath of heaven,
Hold me together,
Be forever near me,
Breath of heaven.
Breath of heaven,
Lighten my darkness,
Pour over me your holiness,
For you are holy.

Breath of heaven,
Hold me together,
Be forever near me,
Breath of heaven.
Breath of heaven,
Lighten my darkness,
Pour over me your holiness,
For you are holy.
Breath of heaven.
Breath of heaven.
Breath of heaven.

[DannysGal]

I have so many!! This is one that our sign language ministry is going to present for Easter...It's by Avalon..makes me cry everytime I hear it!!!

Everything to me


I grew up in Sunday School
I memorized the Golden Rule
and how Jesus came to set the sinner free
I know the story inside out
I can tell you all about
The path that led Him up to Cavalry
But ask me why He loves me
And I don't know what to say
But I'll never be the same
Because He changed my life when He became...

Everything to me
He's more than a story
More than words on a page of history
He's the air that I breathe
The water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
He's everything, everything to me

We're living in uncertain times
More and more I find that I'm aware
Of just how fragile life can be
I want to tell the world I found
A love that turned my life around
They need to know so they can taste and see
Now everyday I'm praying
Just to give my heart away
I want to live for Jesus
So that someone else might see that He is...

Everything to me
He's more than a story
More than words on a page of history
He's the air that I breathe
The water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
He's everything

And looking back over my life at the end
I'll go to meet You saying You've been....

You're everything to me
You're more than a story
More than words on a page of history
You're the air that I breathe
The water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
You're everything to me
Lord You're everything to me

[HandnHand]

Past few weeks I've been loving this song:


Gravity


Written by Shawn McDonald and Chris Stevens

The ways of this world are grabbing a hold
Won't let me go, won't let me fly by
It takes it's toll down on my soul
‘Cause I know what I need in my life
Don't let me lose my sight of You
Don't let me lose my sight
I don't want to fall away from You
Gravity is pulling me on down
I don't want to fall away from You
Gravity is pulling me to the ground
This world keeps making me cry
But I'm going to try, going to try to fly, going to fly high
Don't want to give into the sin, want to stay in You ‘til the end
Don't want to lose my sight of You
Don't want to lose my sight
I want to fly
Into the sky
Turn my back on this old world
Leave it all behind
This place is not my home
It's got nothing for me
Only leaves me emptiness
And tears in my eyes


:tongue2: Amber

[DavidJNIxon]

Well I first heard this song when I was 12 years old in November 2000 and it was a really horrible, dark and troublesome time in my life. The lowest it's ever been! The Lord was working to bring me down and destroy the pride and self-confidence I'd developed and it was painful because I tried to resist and didn't listen to him. What could have been quick turned into 3 very sad years of my life until the Lord fixed me just in the last 6 months of last year.

However, these words from Robin Mark's "Jesus, all for Jesus":- "All of my ambitions, hopes and plans I surrender these into your hands"

I definitely needed to do that in my life and through this song the Lord spoke to me and I heard him. This hymn is definitely one of my favourites because even as I was sad and wanted to just cry and hide away from the world this song would resound in my head and I'd know there was hope and I got comfort from it. The Lord taught me a lesson that I've not forgotten and something I keep reminding myself of whenever something good happens to keep me in check!

Yours in Christ,

David

[godsheartbeat]

"I can only imagine what it will be like, when I walk by Your side...

We sang this in church today. It is such a beautiful song. It is SO powerful.

[joztok]

I like Don Fransisco's style of Song and how teaches through them:

---
The Package

I was awakened in the morning by a knocking at the door.
So I got up to see what all that knocking was for.
And there stood the devil with a box addressed to ME!
He said 'Boy, I've got something that you really oughta see!'

I said 'I know I do not want it if its anything from you'
'Cos I don't like anything you say or anything you do.'
Then he pointed with his finger and his smile kind of sly.
He said 'This box came from Gawd. From the corner way up high.'

I said 'If it came by God, then why did it come here with you?'
He said 'He always gives me dirty work to do.'
'This box is full of misery, poverty and shame'
'To perfect you from your suffering so your worthy of his name.'

Well I've been pretty patient but that last line took the cake.
I just couldn't take no more. I said 'There's no more I can take.'
And then I told him what I thought of him and all his filthy LIES!
And then I fired a shot at God right between the eyes...

I said that 'Jesus took my sickness and my poverty AWAY,'
'When you were there yourself when you murdered him that day,'
'The suffering that I'd do would be for love not for shame'
'I'm already worthy of his blood and to wear his name.'

'And I know my father loves me and has only GOOD in store,'
'So you just take your job and get away from my front door.'
'You can write my name on packages till I'm ninety-two,'
'But every single one-of-em will go back to hell with you.'

[Lil Sis]

God will make a way
by Dan Moen
God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength for each new day
He will make a way He will make a way

By a roadway in the wilderness
He'll lead me
And rivers in the desert will I see
Heaven and earth will fade
But His word will still remain
He will do something new today.

[ddlewis86]

Yes, Selah is a Christian band, and the rest of the songs on their CD are hymns, etc.

I guess the reason that I like the Selah version better is because they are singing to the Lord, but I am not sure who Josh Groban is referring to when he say "You raise me up...". I have heard many of the other songs on his CD on Napster, and he tends to sing a lot of romantic ballads. He may be singing to a woman here, which kind of ruins the song for me...... Besides, he has an OK voice, but I like the voices of the members of Selah better (especially the first guy...)

Hillsong United - One Way

I lay my life down at Your feet
'Cause You're the only One I need
I turn to You and You are always there

In troubled times it's You I seek
I put You first, that's all I need
I humble all I am, all to You

One way, Jesus
You're the only One that I could live for
One way, Jesus
You're the only One that I could live for

You are always, always there
Every how and every where
Your grace abound so deeply within me

You will never ever change
Yesterday, today the same
Forever 'till forever meets no end

One way, Jesus
You're the only One that I could live for
One way, Jesus
You're the only One that I could live for

You are the Way, the Truth and the Life
We live by faith and not by sight, for You
We're living all for You

[Toymom]

This is my favorite song from our Young People's Songbook.
It goes to a tune of an old rock song - I think the original song may be
called "Killing me softly with his song" - at least that is in the chorus of the
original.

This song really expresses how I feel and felt about my salvation.

1 I just existed empty, not knowing what life was for;
Until one day someone told me
That there was something more;
At first I wouldn't take it - it seemed too simple to me!

Calling His name, "O Lord Jesus!"
Saying, "Amen," when He speaks.
Filling my spirit with His life,
Filling my whole life with His life,
Flooding my living with His life,
Filling my whole life with His life.

2 But then at length I tried it - first softly to myself.
As I called I felt like someone
Sick brought back to health.
The flow of life within me, I'd never felt before.

3 Then as I called on Jesus, I felt that I'd been found!
I was so full; I was calling
"Jesus!" right out loud.
I'd never dreamed that I could know reality by -

4 And now I'm full and happy, so satisfied with Him,
Because He has come and filled me
Clear up past the brim
His life is now my portion - I'll go on all my life, just -

I heard this song on the radio when I was about 11 or 12, and I automatically thought of our Lord. I dont even think it's a Christian song, because it's by Vitamin C. But it's still how I feel.

As long as You're loving me - Vitamin C

I believe in You
And this is real for me
The love I feel for You
Didn't come so naturally
At first I was afraid
Couldn't fight the fight
I couldn't keep the Light on
With any other lights

Now I'm ready for the world
No matter what it brings
Because I feel all my dreams coming true

As long as You're loving me
As long as You're loving me
I can move mountains
I can part the seas
My heart will be open
For eternity
As long as You're loving me

This is what feels good
This is what feels right
From the moment I wake up
Until we say goodnight
And I'm stronger than I was
I've reached down and I've touched
It's easier to lie down
With You on my side

And now I'm ready for the world
No matter how it spins
Because I'll always be in it with You

As long as You're loving me
As long as You're loving me
I can move mountains
I can part the seas
My heart will be open
For eternity
As long as You're loving me

[joztok]

This is a beautiful song. Don't know who originally composed it though.

Forever My Love

The nails in Your hands, the nail in Your feet
They tell me how much you love me
The thorns on your brow, they tell me how
You bore so much pain to love me

And when the heavens pass away
All your scars will still remain
And forever they will say
How much you love me (and I want to say)

Forver my love, forever my heart
Forever my life is Yours...

[JesusFreak0927]

I just bought this CD a while back and I love this song.

Kutless - Sea of Faces

I see the city lights all around me
Everyone's obscure
Ten million people each with their problems
Why should anyone care

And in Your eyes I can see
I am not just a man, vastly lost in this world
Lost in a Sea of Faces
Your body's the bread, Your blood is the wine
Because you traded Your life for mine

Sometimes my life it feels so trivial
Immersed in the greatness of space
Yet somehow you still find the time for me
It's then You show me Your love

And In Your eyes I can see
And in Your arms I will be
I am not just a man, vastly lost in this world
Lost in a Sea of Faces
Your body's the bread, Your blood is the wine
Because you traded Your life for mine

If only my one heart
Was all you'd gain from all it cost
Well I know you would have still been a man
With a reason
To willingly offer your life

I am not just a man, vastly lost in this world
Lost in a Sea of Faces
Your body's the bread, Your blood is the wine
Because you traded Your life for mine

Just one in a million faces

If you Only Knew, by Randy Travis

By my grandfather's bed, my mother is reading,
Psalm 62, God is our refuge,
My grandfather stirs, could it be,
he is waking, one final time,
he has something to say,

If you only knew what lies awaiting
If you could only see what I can see
If you could only hear the music playing
The angels singing sweet victory
Oh, if you only knew, if you only knew,
How much he loves you

By my grandfather's bed, my mother is broken,
Psalm 17, O God I call on you,
She doesn't want to hear
Any words about leaving
My grandfather says
Fear not, this is my time,
And into his presence I'll fly

If you only knew what lies awainting
If you could only see what I can see
If you could only hear the music playing
The angels singing sweet victory
Oh, if you only knew, if you only knew,
How much he loves you

[Rev. Eric]

I The Lord Of Sea And Sky(Here I am LORD)

Chorus:
Here I am, Lord.
Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.

Verse 1:
I, the Lord of sea and sky,
I have heard my people cry.
All who dwell in deepest sin
my hand will save.
I, who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright,
Who will bear my light to them?
Whom shall I send?
Chorus

Verse 2:
I, the Lord of snow and rain,
I have borne my people's pain.
I have wept for love of them,
They turn away.
I will break their hearts of stone,
give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak my word to them,
Whom shall I send?
Chorus
Verse 3:
I, the Lord of wind and flame,
I will tend the poor and lame.
I will set a feast for them,
My hand will save.
Finest bread I will provide
till their hearts be satisfied.
I will give my life to them.
Whom shall I send?

Chorus

[Toymom]

Here is another song I love from our Young People's Songbook -
I think it is by Howard Higachi

Lord, keep my heart always true to You,
Never back-sliding, always viewing You,
A heart that is pure that sees only You,
A heart that loves You and treasures only You.

Lord, keep my love burning brightly for You,
A love never dwindling, always hot for You,
A love shining brighter all the way for You,
A love so fresh like the day I first touched You.

Lord, take my life, I present it to You.
If I had a thousand, I'd pour all on You.
Nothing withholding, my all is for You.
My life and my future, dear Lord, is all for You.

Your love constrains me to give my all to You.
Lord, I can't help it; my heart is drawn to You.
Oh, what a privilege; I give myself to You.
I love you, Lord! Dearest Lord, I love You!
I just love You!

Bless you.. Dave ..:hug:

josh groban my favorite...
That is as close to perfection as a voice can get on this earth..
If you wait a minute after the first song it also plays others..
What an amazing beautfull tenor voice he has..
Just as I would imagine angels would sound in heaven....:)

As his fans say...
" Most people are fans of Josh Groban's music and just don't know it yet."

Navigation: J \ Jeremy Camp \ Lay Down My Pride

Every single word I say
You know it before I speak
You know every thought
The deepest part of me

You draw me closer than I see
Your presence is every thing I need to be
The child that you've created me to be
I'm ready now to see it your way

I lay down my pride
My desires my demise
I'm ready now to see it your way
I'm done I'm thru ignoring you now it's true
I'm kneeling at the cross of your grace
Lay down my pride

I was faced with passing time
But I knew the choice was mine
To finally come to you
And give you all control
I've wandered miles to find my way
And then you revealed this simple faith
I know that you can see the secrets of my soul

The cross the blood you shed for me
Your back was ripped and bruised
So I can know your love

I kneel I bow to you my king

I do not have any lyrics to post -- just want to comment on Steve Green's new CD titled "Somewhere Between". IMO it is the best Christian CD to come along in years. The lyrics are awesome! The orchestration, the style of worship and lyrics all come together to make a masterpiece of a CD. I highly recommend it to those who like a more semi-classical sound.

Blessings,

BHS

I felt like posting this one, even though it may be on here already.
I LOVE IT!

BETTER THAN LIFE :pp
Better than the riches of this world,
Better than the sound of my friends' voices,
Better than the biggest dreams of my heart,
and that's just the start

Better than getting what I say I need,
Better than living the life that I want to,
Better than the love that anyone could give,
your love is

Pre chorus

And you hold me now in your arms and never let me go,
You Oh Lord made the sunshine, the moonlight in the night sky,
You give me breath and all your love, i give my heart to you because,

Chorus

I can't stop falling in love with you,
I'll never stop falling in love with you.

[buck32]

i'm a newbie and i love this thread. it is really amazing and encouraging to read all of these lyrics. i haven't been able to look through them all, and i'm sure that this song has been posted already, but "above all" by micheal w. smith is one of my favorites. the verses are describing how wonderful Christ truly is, and that he is above all of these things. then it says that He thought of me above all. He didn't die to save nature or kingdoms, He died to save me and you.

Above all powers above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began

Above all kindgoms above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasure of the earth
There's no way to measure what You're worth

Crucified laid behind a stone
You lived to die rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all

[TBlade]

Technically these aren't worship songs, but they always remind me of God's love.

More- by Mathew West

Take a look at the mountain
Stretching a mile high
Take a look at the Ocean
Far as your eye can see
And think of Me

Take a look at the desert
Do you feel like a grain of sand?
I am with you wherever
Where you go is where I am

And I am always thinking of you
Take a look around you
I'm spelling it out one by one

Chorus: I love you more than the sun
And the stars that I taught how to shine
You are mine and you shine for me too
I love you yesterday and today
And tomorrow I'll say it again and again
I love you more

Just a face in the city
Just a tear on a crowded street
But you are one in a million
And you belong to Me
And I want you to know
I'm not letting go
Even when you come undone

Repeat Chorus

Bridge: Shine for me
Shine for me
Shine on, shine on
Shine for me

Repeat Chorus




You Know Where To Find Me- Matthew West
I saw your sky fall down today
Suddenly turn form blue to gray
Till one by one the raindrops
Turned to tears upon your face

Wish there was something I could do
Wish I could ease the pain from you
But I've never felt so helpless

It's like your drowning right in front of me
And I'm reaching out but you can't see
Threre's something holding on to you so tight
So I guess this is all I'll say to you tonight.

Chorus: If you ever need Me
You know where to find Me
I will be waiting where I've always been
If you ever need Me
You know where to find Me
I have never left you, where I've always been
Right by your side
Right by your side

If the whole wide world is on your back
If the strength you need is the strength you lack
If you're in a crowd but all alone
If you can't stay here but you can't go home
If you can't answer all the why's
'Cause your too tired to reach that high I want you to remember

Repeat Chorus

Bridge: If the whole wide world is on your back
If the strength you need is the strength you lack
If your in a crowd but all alone
If you can't stay here but you can't go home
If you can't answer all the why's
'Cause your too tired to reach that high
I want you to, I need you to remember

Repeat Chorus

IN THE LIGHT

I keep trying to find a life
On my own, apart from you
I am the king of excuses
I've got one for every selfish thing I do

What's going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a saviour

I wanna be in the Light
As You are in the Light
I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens
Oh, Lord be my Light and be my salvation
'Cause all I want is to be in the Light
All I want is to be in the Light

The disease of self runs through my blood
It's a cancer fatal to my soul
Every attempt on my behalf has failed
To bring this sickness under control

What's going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a saviour

I wanna be in the Light
As You are in the Light
I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens
Oh, Lord be my Light and be my salvation
'Cause all I want is to be in the Light
All I want is to be in the Light

Honesty becomes me (There's nothing left to lose)
The secrets that did run me (In Your Presence are defused)
Pride has no position (And riches have no worth)
The fame that once did cover me (Has been sentenced to this earth)
Has been sentenced to this earth

Tell me what's going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a saviour

I wanna be in the Light
As You are in the Light
I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens
Oh, Lord be my Light and be my salvation
'Cause all I want is to be in the Light
All I want is to be in the Light

More To This Life
by S.C. Chapman


Today I watched in silence as people passed me by,
And I strained to see if there was something hidden in their eyes;
But they all looked back at me as if to say
Life just goes on

The old familiar story told in different ways,
Make the most of your own journey from the cradle to the grave;
Dream your dreams tomorrow because today
Life must go on.

But there’s more to this life than living and dying,
More than just trying to make it through the day;
More to this life, more than these eyes alone can see,
And there’s more than this life alone can be.

Tonight he lies in silence staring into space,
And looks for ways to make tomorrow better than today,
But in the morning light it looks the same;
Life just goes on.

He takes care of his family, he takes care of his work,
And every Sunday morning he takes his place at the church;
And somehow he still feels a need to search,
But life just goes on.

But there’s more to this life than living and dying,
More than just trying to make it through the day;
More to this life, more than these eyes alone can see,
And there’s more than this life alone can be.


So where do we start to find every part
Of what makes this life complete?
If we turn our eyes to Jesus we’ll find
Life’s true beginning is there at the cross where He died.
He died to bring us . . .

But there’s more to this life than living and dying,
More than just trying to make it through the day;
More to this life, more than these eyes alone can see,
And there’s more than this life alone can be.

[qbee]

"My Confession"



I have been blind, unwilling to see
The true love you're giving.
I have ignored every blessing.

I'm on my knees confessing


That I feel myself surrender
Each time I see your face.
I am staggered by your beauty,
Your unassuming grace.
And I feel my heart is turning,
Falling into place.
I can't hide
Now hear my confession.



I have been wrong about you.
Thought I was strong without you.
For so long nothing could move me.
For so long nothing could change me.
Now I feel myself surrender
Each time I see your face.
I am captured by your beauty,
Your unassuming grace.
And I feel my heart is turning,
Falling into place.
I can't hide
Now hear my confession.






[Bridge:]
You are the air that I breathe.
You're the ground beneath my feet.
When did I stop believing?



Cause I feel myself surrender
Each time I see your face.
I am staggered by your beauty,
Your unassuming grace.
And I feel my heart
Falling into place.
I can't hide
Now hear my confession.
I can't hide
Now hear my confession.
Hear my confession

[karenmot]

This just came on my Yahoo launchcast station:


Jesus King of angels heaven's light
Shine Your face upon this house tonight
Let no evil come into my dreams
Light of heaven keep me in Your peace
Remind me how You made dark spirits flee
And spoke Your power to the raging sea
And spoke Your mercy to a sinful man
Remind me Jesus this is what I am


The universe is vast beyond the stars
But You are mindful when the sparrow falls
And mindful of the anxious thoughts
That find me, surround me and bind me

With all my heart I love You Sovereign Lord
Tomorrow let me love You even more
And rise to speak the goodness of Your name
Until I close my eyes and sleep again

The universe is vast beyond the stars
But You are mindful when the sparrow falls
And mindful of the anxious thoughts
That find me, surround me and bind me

Jesus King of angels heaven's light
Hold my hand and keep me through this night

Song:Love Song
I've heard it said that a man would climb a mountain
Just to be with the one he loves
How many times has he broken that promise
It has never been done.
I've never climbed the highest mountain
But I walked the hill of calvary

Chorus:
Just to be with you, I'd do anything
There's no price I would not pay
Just to be with you, I'd give anything
I would give my life away.

I've heard it said that a man would swim the ocean
Just to be with the one he loves
How may times has he broken that promise
It can never be done
I've never swam the deepest ocean
But I walked upon the raging sea

Repeat chorus

(Bridge)

I know that you don't understandthe fullness of My love
How I died upon the cross for your sins
And I know that you don't realize how much that I gave you
But I promise, I would do it all again.

Just to be with you, I've done everything
There's no price I did not pay
Just to be with you,
I gave everything
Yes, I gave my life away.

Thief by Third Day
-----
I am a thief, I am a murderer
Walking up this lonely hill
What have I done? I don't remember
No one knows just how I feel
and I know that my time is coming soon.

It's been so long. Oh, such a long time
Since I've lived with peace and rest
Now I am here, my destination
guess things work for the best
and I know that my time is coming soon

Who is this man? This man beside me
They call the King of the Jews
They don't believe that He's the Messiah
But, somehow I know it's true.

And they laugh at Him in mockery,
and beat Him till he bleeds
They nail Him to the rugged cross,
and raise Him, they raise Him up next to me

My time has come, I'm slowly fading
I deserve what I receive
Jesus when You are in Your kingdom
Could You please remember me
and He looks at me still holding on
the tears fall from His eyes
He says I tell the truth
Today, you will live with Me in paradise
and I know that my time is coming soon
and I know paradise is coming soon.

A very emotional song, it makes you think of all the terrible things we've done in our lives that don't deserve redemption. Only this kind of true repentance & His amazing grace that allow us a place in paradise.

Jesus Lord, I'm captured by Thy beauty,
All my heart to Thee I open wide;
Now set free from all religious duty,
Only let me in Thyself abide.
As I'm gazing here upon Thy glory,
Fill my heart with radiancy divine;
Saturate me, Lord, I now implore Thee,
Mingle now Thy Spirit, Lord with mine.

Did You Feel the Mountains Tremble?Words and music by Martin Smith

Did you feel the mountains tremble?

Did you hear the oceans roar

When the people rose to sing of

Jesus Chris the Risen One?


Did you feel the people tremble?

Did you hear the singers roar?

When the lost began to sing of

Jesus Chris the saving One


And we can see that God You’re moving

A mighty river through the nations

When young and old will turn to Jesus


Fling wide you heavenly gates… Prepare the way of the Risen Lord


Open up the doors and let the music play

Let the streets resound with singing

Songs that bring Your hope and songs that bring Your joy

Dancers who dance upon injustice


Did you feel the darkness tremble

When all the saints join in one song

And all the streams flow as one river

To wash away our brokenness?


And we can see that God You’re moving

A time of jubilee is coming :pp

When young and old will turn to Jesus…

I HAVE JOURNEYED

THRU THE LONG DARK NIGHT

OUT IN THE OPEN SEA

BY FAITH ALONE

SIGHT UNKNOWN

AND YET HIS EYES WERE

WATCHING ME

THE ANCHOR HOLDS

THO THE SHIPS BEEN BATTERED

THE ANCHOR HOLDS

THO THE SAILS ARE TORN

I HAVE FALLEN ON MY KNEES

AS I FACE LIFE’S RAGING SEAS

THE ANCHOR HOLDS

IN SPITE OF THE STORM.

*

I’VE HAD VISIONS

I’VE HAD DREAMS

I’VE EVEN HELD

THEM IN MY HAND

BUT I NEVER KNEW

THAT THEY COULD SLIP RIGHT THRU

LIKE THEY WERE ONLY GRAINS OF SAND.

*

I HAVE BEEN YOUNG

BUT I AM OLDER NOW

AND THERE HAS BEEN SUCH BEAUTY

THESE EYES HAVE SEEN

BUT IT WAS IN THE NIGHT

THRU THE STORM OF MY LIFE

O, THAT’S WHERE GOD PROVED HIS LOVE TO ME.

I HAVE FALLEN ON MY KNEES

AS I FACE LIFE’S RAGING SEAS

Fusebox - Once Again

Once again I look upon the cross where You died.

I'm humbled by Your mercy and I'm broken inside.

And once again I thank You, once again I pour out my life.

Jesus Christ, I think upon Your sacrifice.

You became nothing, poured out to death.

Many times, I've wondered at Your gift of life, and I'm in that place once again.

And once again I look upon the cross where You died.

I'm humbled by Your mercy and I'm broken inside.

Once again I thank You, once again I pour out my life.

Now You are, exalted to the highest place.

King of the heavens, where one day I'll bow.

But for now, I marvel at Your saving grace.

And I'm full of praise once again. I'm full of prais once again. Yeah.

And once again I look upon the cross where You died.

I'm humbled by Your mercy and I'm broken inside.

Once again I thank You, once again I pour out my life.

Thank You for the cross, thank You for the cross.

Thank You for the cross, my Friend.

Thank You for the cross, thank You for the cross.

Thank You for the cross, my Friend.

Once again I look upon the cross where You died.

I'm humbled by Your mercy and I'm broken inside.

Once again I look upon the cross where You died.

I'm humbled by Your mercy and I'm broken inside.

Once again I thank You, once again I pour out my life. Once again I thank You!

Then I am still and wait here in the silence until You come and sit a while with me.

You raise up so I can stand on mountains, You raise me up to walk on stormy seas, I am stong when I am on your shoulders,

You raise me up to more than can be.

When the music fades
And all is stripped away
And I simply come

Longing just to bring
Something that’s of worth
That will bless Your heart

I’ll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required

You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You’re looking into my heart

CHORUS
I’m coming back to the heart of worship
And it’s all about You
It’s all about You, Jesus

I’m sorry, Lord for the thing I’ve made it
And it’s all about You

King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve

Though I’m weak and poor
All I have is Yours

You want to be real
You want to be empty inside
You want to be someone laying down your pride
You want to be someone someday
Then lay it all down before the King

You want to be whole
You want to have purpose inside
You want to have virtue and purify your mind
You want to be set free today then lay it all down
before the King

Chorus:

This is my desire
This is my return
This is my desire to be used by you

You want to be real
You want to be emptied inside
And I know my heart is to feel you near
And I know my life
It's to do your will
It's to do your will

All my life I have seen where you've taken me
Beyond all I have hoped and there's more left unseen
There's not much I can do to repay all you've done
so I give my hands to use

Healing rain by Michael W Smith...



Healing rain is coming down
It's coming nearer to this old town
Rich and poor, weak and strong
It's bringing mercy, it won't be long

Healing rain is coming down
It's coming closer to the lost and found
Tears of joy, and tears of shame
Are washed forever in Jesus' name

Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain

Lift your heads, let us return
To the mercy seat where time began
And in your eyes, I see the pain
Come soak this cry heart with healing rain

And only You, the Son of man
Can take a leper and let him stand
So lift your hands, they can be held
By someone greater, the great I Am

Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain

To be washed in Heaven's rain...

Healing rain is falling down
Healing rain is falling down
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid...

[psycho_chikin]

Before the world began,
you were on His mind.
And every tear you cry,
is precious in His eyes.
Because of His great love,
He gave His only Son.
Everything was done so you would come.

Nothing you can do
could make Him love you more.
And nothing that you've done
could cause Him to close the door.
Because of His great love,
He gave His only Son.
Everything was done so you would come.

Come to the Father
though your gift is small.
Broken hearts, broken lives,
He will take them all.
The power of the Word,
The power of His blood.
Everything was done so you would come.

I love Healing Rain too..... actually I like everything of Michael W. Smith..... hopefully Chal will give me his cd "Healing Rain" for my birthday in August... :idea:

This is my favourite lyric for the moment:

I see love - Third Day
(With Steven Curtis Chapman, Mercyme)

Some see a teacher
Standing on a hill
Speaking words of wisdom
Some see a healer
Reaching out his hand
To give sight to a blind man
Some see a dreamer
Wasting his life
On what can never be
Some see a fool
Dying for his dreams

But I see love (I see love)
I see love (I see love)
Light of heaven breaking through
Well I see grace (I see grace)
I see God's face (I See Gods face)
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
I see love

Some see a prisoner
Alone before his judge
With no one to defend him
Some see a victim
Beaten and abused
With all the world against him
Some see a martyr
Carrying his cross
For what he believes
Some see a hero
Who set his people free

But I see love (I see love)
I see love (I see love)
Light of heaven breaking through
Well I see grace (I see grace)
I see God's face (I See Gods face)
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you


With your last breath
I see love
Through your death
I see love
I see peace in the eyes of the king
I see hope in your suffering (I see love)
I see a calm in the center of the storm
I see a Saviour

I see love
I see love
Light of heaven breaking through (heaven breaking through)
I see grace
I see God's face
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
I see love
When I see you
I see heaven breaking through
See Gods face
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
When I see you
When I see you
I see love
I see love
When I see

Some see Him walking from an empty grave

[Caidanbi]

I Am Free
Lyrics: Mariah Carey
Music: Mariah Carey, Walter Afanasieff

Once I was a prisoner
Lost inside myself
With the world surrounding me
Wandering through the misery
But now I am free...

You gave me a breath of life
Unclouded my eyes
With sweet serenity
Lighting a ray of hope for me...
And now I am free...

Free to live
Free to laugh
Free to soar
Free to shine
Free to give
Free to love
Free enough to fly

Once I was all so alone
Unsteady and cold
But your love rained down upon me
Washing away uncertainty

But now
I am free

[Caidanbi]

ONLY LOVE (Second Version)
Jacky Cheung (Zhang Xueyou)

When you're lost and the light is fading
The wind blows cold
And you can't find your way back home
Remember that the darkest hour
Is just before the dawn
Sometimes a leap of faith
Is all it takes

Cause only love can see
The path to set you free
Just close your eyes, look inside
Let your heart believe
There's been a force so strong
Beside you all along
You'll know it when your dream comes true
That's something only love can do

In your quest for a new horizon
Set your course
Find a star to light your way
Although the task may seem sometimes
To be more than you can bear
One thing you need to know
You're not alone

Cause only love can see
The path to set you free
Just close your eyes and look inside
And let your heart believe
There's a force so strong
Beside you all along
You'll know it when your dream comes true
That's something only love can do

If you believe in miracles
Then you can be the one
Just shine your light and show the world
There's nothing love can't overcome

Cause only love can see
The path to set you free
Just close your eyes, look inside
And let your heart believe
There's been a force so strong
Beside you all along
When your dream comes true
That's something only love can do
That's something only love can do

Healing rain by Michael W Smith...







I love that song....

I saw Michael W. Smith in concert Thursday night, and he sang that song -- we sat about 50 feet from his piano, and could see his hands as he played the piano, etc....we were really close up....it was great.......



Here's another one of his songs that I love.....


Angels Unaware

Maybe there's a light in my soul
Maybe it flickers like a neon sign
Outside an abandoned hotel
Maybe there are things you just can't know
But can you say there are no mysteries
In the house you choose to dwell

Maybe we are entertaining angels unaware



Maybe there's a place where we will fly
But some say God is dead like Nietzsche said
And faith has made me a fool
But maybe there is more than meets the eye
Who's that stranger there beside you?
Don't be smug and don't be cruel

Maybe we are entertaining angels unaware



Battles of the heart and of the mind
We stay caught in mental purgatory
'Til our existence can be defined
Meanwhile on the shores of parallel
There may be a hold conference held
Somewhere
Discussing all mankind

Maybe we are entertaining angels unaware
Maybe we are entertaining angels unaware
Angels unaware

MXPX - I'm the bad guy

legalistic people suck legalism makes me sick
i wonder what makes them tick? i wanna go puke on it
ephesians verse 2:8 states God has saved us not by works but by grace
so what's it gonna take? there's no getting thru to you
so what's it gonna take?
there's no getting thru to you
i'm way to young
to have a point of view
this whole thing just bums me out, Jesus knows my heart
but you don't care you've already made up you mind
i try to change my attitude but it's really hard
i'm so sick of you, God is gonna pull thru

It is a short song but I like the lyrics.......

Song by Randy Travis, a bit silly but hey!
Seems I can't get away from the fish thing!:D


Pray For The Fish


Everybody gathered where the river runs wider
At the edge of town
To see that Eddie Lee Vaughn baptism
Was really gonna go down
Folks bet their hard earned money
That water wouldn't change a thing
They set the odds at a hundred to one
His soul wouldn't never come clean
Then the preacher said
People take a moment or two
There's something we need to do

Pray for the dish
They won't know what's coming
When the sin starts rolling off the likes of him
Lord be with em, they ain't done nothin'
Please won't you leave them just a little bit ‘a room to swim
Pray for the fish

Well the preacher ducked him under
That cool clear water
Then he did it again
Eddie came up yelling
Lord in Heaven Hallalujah!
I'm a brand new man
Well the water got to bubbling
Sky got to rumbling
And the thunder backed up the choir
The fish started jumpin'
It was like they was swimmin'
In a lake of fire
Then Eddie's momma stepped out of the crowd
And started yelling out loud
Pray for the dish
They won't know what's coming
When the sin starts rolling off the likes of him
Lord be with em, they ain't done nothin'
Please won't you leave them just a little bit ‘a room to swim
Pray for the fish

He said everybody cross your fingers
Fold your hands
Pray for Ole Eddie
But before we say amen
Pray for the fish

Lord be with em, they ain't done nothin'
Please won't you leave them just a little bit ‘a room to swim
Pray for the fish
Lord pray for the fish

Sometimes I feel like giving up
Seems like my best just ain't good enough
Lord if you hear me I'm calling you
Do you see do you care all about what I'm going through

One more day, one more step
I'm preparing you for myself
When you can't hear my voice, please trust my plan
I'm the Lord I see, and yes I understand

Sometimes I feel like I'm all alone, just like a stranger so far from home
I feel like I 've done all that I can do
Please Lord give me strength, I'm just trying to make it through

He knows how much we can bear
In the time of trouble He promised He'd always be there
I understand, I understand, I am the Lord I see and yes I understand
I am the Lord and I changeth not
I won't forget nor have I forgot
Everything works according to my plan
I am God, trust me, I got the whole world in my hands.

Salvation, spring up from the ground
Lord, rend the heavens and come down
Seek the lost and heal the lame
Jesus, bring glory to Your name
Let all the prodigals run home
All of creation waits and groans
Lord, we've heard of Your great fame
Father, cause all to shout Your name

Stir up our hearts, Oh God
Open our spirits to awe who You are
Put a cry in us so deep inside
That we cannot find the words we need
We just weep and cry out to You

By: Chris Tomlin

[sanctified]

I am not ashamed

Jesus, I stand
In every circumstance
I'll lift up Your name
To save this generation

Sometimes it's hard
To know exactly what to say
But I will stand up
Because You are with me all the way

I'm gonna let it show
Let the whole world know
That my life has changed
Because I am not ashamed
I will Your light
In the darkest night
And everyone will see
Because I am not ashamed

[Alastair]

This is norwegian. A childrens praise song. I love this song:)

I will post the translation afterwards:)

Måne og Sol

Måne og sol,Vinder og hav og blomar og born skapte vår gud.
Himel og jord, alting er hans, here vår gud vil vi takka

Herre vi takkar deg,
