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
from Thrive


As we lift up our hands
Will You meet us here
As we call on Your name
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

[KingdomBound]

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


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

I LOVE this song...... it's awesome

[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

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

Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear,

Through many dangers, toils, and snares

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.

I heard a new version of Amazing Grace by Chris Tomlin that added this:

The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures,
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine.
But God, who called me here below
Will be forever mine.

Chorus:

My chains are gone; I've been set free
My God, My Savior, has ransomed me.
And like a flood - His mercy reigns .....
Unending love, amazing grace.


It really spoke to the hearts of our music team at church, and now we use this version to open each service.

God Bless,
graceforme

[graceforme]

I heard this one recently and it really spoke volumes to me:

TRADING MY SORROWS

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.


Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord .... Amen

I'm pressed but not crushed, persecuted not abandoned.
Struck down, but not destroyed.
I'm blessed beyond the curse, for His promise will endure
And His joy's gonna' be my strength.

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


My very favorite gospel song of all time is "The Old Rugged Cross." Not just because it's such a beautiful song, although it is. I love it because if it weren't for the Old Rugged Cross, we wouldn't have any reason to sing all the other songs. The Cross gives them their meaning.

Blessings for a wonderful, Christ-filled day,

I'm listening to the Chris Tomlin song now... it's AWESOME...

[God-Gave-R+R-2-U]

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


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

Awesome, I kinda like those lyrics and the meaning of them.Hopefully, for Jesus' sake, the instruments really are being played in the song, passionately for the love of God.I haven't heard that song so I don't know, but I am a musician and if a singer brought me lyrics like the one's above, I would play guitar and/or drums to it extremely passionately for the Lord.

Speaking of Awesome, I love this song!

Awesome God by Rich Mullins:

"Our God is an Awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
with wisdom, power and love
our God is an Awesome God...
...Judgement and wrath He poured out on Sodom
His mercy and grace He showed us at the cross
I hope that we have not too quickly forgotten
that our God is an Awesome God."

Amen to that!

Casting Crowns - Stained Glass Masquerade



Is there anyone that fails
Is there anyone that falls
Am I the only one in church today feelin' so small

Cause when I take a look around
Everybody seems so strong
I know they'll soon discover
That I don't belong

So I tuck it all away, like everything's okay
If I make them all believe it, maybe I'll believe it too
So with a painted grin, I play the heart again
So everyone will see me the way that I see them

Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
And smiles to hide our pain
But if the invitation's open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain
On our stained glass masquerade

Is there anyone who's been there
Are there any hands to raise
Am I the only one who's traded
In the altar for a stage

The performance is convincing
And we know every line by heart
Only when no one is watching
Can we really fall apart

But would it set me free
If I dared to let you see
The truth behind the person
That you imagine me to be

Would your arms be open
Or would you walk away
Would the love of Jesus
Be enough to make you stay

Man its awesome to find songs that say EXACTLY how I feel. Where Im at in life I hate going to the church BUILDING because I have to put on a fake performance because Im expected to be strong through everything. When all I want to do is just break down and cry because of all the hurt in my heart and soul.

But your not allowed to do that in church because "people will talk"
