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!

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...

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

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....

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

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.

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
