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

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.

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

[Debra R]

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

[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!
God bless you.
Love in Christ,
Debra

[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
