[TLHB70]

This has been playing on my CD in a loop. I love it!!!!!!

Have you ever been there????? Where there seems to be no words to even pray????? What a blessing this song is!!!!!!

Newsong - God Hears
God Hears (Track #7) off the latest project

Thank you so much for this Cristy! I just went and bought the CD on iTunes and listened to this! AWESOME! I cannot tell you how much I needed this song today! I guess you can say we are kind of at this place right now. It has been a rough couple of weeks. Don't get me wrong.........Christmas was great! However, there are a few issues that I am struggling through right now. DH has been pretty uptight with the stress of it all. I confessed to God this morning in my quiet time, and I am praying and waiting. The waiting is hard, and at times it feels like my prayers aren't getting past the ceiling. I needed this song! Thank you!

 

[luvmyfam444]

Some great songs listed here - gonna have to track them down...

I just wish we could hear all the songs on these albums on the radio - instead of just some of them 'cause I dont' buy much, just listen to them - but dd just got an Ipod & it will be sitting around here dong nothing while she's in school - so I'll be adding quite a few songs! LOL

Praying for you my friend. I've been on this road more times than I'd care to count. It is hard. Waiting is the hardest for me.....I like to fix things and know that sometimes I probably just get in God's way with my weak attempts.

 

[TLHB70]

Yes, me too. Plus, I have had to confess that I am not completely submitting in the area of my tongue, just like the chapter in James says. I am reacting without praying through it. I am reacting because the waiting is so hard for me. I do not know how to explain it, but my reactions and tongue have been emotional rather than submitted lately.

One of my all time favorites by the Newsboys.....this song makes me want to yell it as loudly as I can......"I AM FREE!!!!!! PRAISE GOD I AM FREE!!!!!!"

Newsboys - I am Free from the CD "GO"

Through You the blind will see
Through You the mute will sing
Through You the dead will rise
Through You our hearts will praise
Through You the darkness flees
Through You my heart screams I am free
I am free

Chorus:
I am free to run
(I am free to run)
I am free to dance
(I am free to dance)
I am free to live for You
(I am free to live for You)
I am free
(I am free)
Yes, I am free
(I am free)

Through You the kingdom comes
Through You the battle's won
Through You I'm not afraid
Through You the price is paid
Through You there's victory
Because of You my heart Sings I am free
I am free

Chorus:

Who the Son sets free is free indeed.
Who the Son sets free is free indeed.

Chorus:

Looking forward to seeing these guys at Winter Jam on Friday night!!!!!

By Your Side - Tenth Avenue North

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J95rAr0gOFU

By Your Side lyrics

Why are you striving these days
Why are you trying to earn grace
Why are you crying
Let me lift up your face
Just don't turn away

Why are you looking for love
Why are you still searching as if I'm not enough
To where will you go child
Tell me where will you run
To where will you run

And I'll be by your side
Wherever you fall
In the dead of night
Whenever you call
And please don't fight
These hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you

Look at these hands and my side
They swallowed the grave on that night
When I drank the world's sin
So I could carry you in
And give you life
I want to give you life

(Chorus 2x)

Cause I, I love you
I want you to know
That I, I love you
I'll never let you go

(Chorus 2x)

Here is another from Steven Curtis Chapman's new album.
As I posted previously, it is an amazing album!

Our God Is In Control
by Steven Curtis Chapman

This is not how it should be
This is not how it could be
But this is how it is
And our God is in control

This is not how it will be
When we finally will see
We’ll see with our own eyes
He was always in control
And we’ll sing Holy, Holy, Holy is our God
And we will finally, really understand what it means
So we’ll sing Holy, Holy, Holy is our God
While we’re waiting for that day

This is not where we planned to be
When we started this journey
But this is where we are
And our God is in control

Though this first taste is bitter
There will be sweetness forever
When we finally taste and see
That our God is in control

And we’ll sing Holy, Holy, Holy is our God
And we will finally, really understand what it means
So we’ll sing Holy, Holy, Holy is our God
While we’re waiting for that day
We’re waiting for that day
We’ll keep on waiting for that day
When we will know our God is in control

(Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy)

Our God is in control

(Holy, Holy, Holy)

Our God is in control

(Holy, Holy, Holy)

Great show Friday night at Winter Jam!!!!! The place was packed and so many great groups!!!!!!!! Newsong was outstanding as always!!!! Third Day -WOW - Loved it!!!!!!!

Here is a group I wasn't sure I'd heard of "Sidewalk Prophets" When they started the following song I knew it immediately but had not been able to associate the name of the group with the song. I love this song and often think of it as words I need to say to my kids daily. Hope you all enjoy!

Sidewalk Prophets - The Words I Would Say

Three in the morning,
And I'm still awake,
So I picked up a pen and a page,
And I started writing,
Just what I'd say,
If we were face to face,
I'd tell you just what you mean to me,
I'd tell you these simple truths,

Be strong in the Lord and,
Never give up hope,
You're going to do great things,
I already know,
God's got His hand on you so,
Don't live life in fear,
Forgive and forget,
But don't forget why you're here,
Take your time and pray,
These are the words I would say,

Last time we spoke,
You said you were hurting,
And I felt your pain in my heart,
I want to tell you,
That I keep on praying,
Love will find you where you are,
I know cause I've already been there,
So please hear these simple truths,

Be strong in the Lord and,
Never give up hope,
You're going to do great things,
I already know,
God's got His hand on you so,
Don't live life in fear,
Forgive and forget,
But don't forget why you're here,
Take your time and pray,
These are the words I would say,

From one simple life to another,
I will say,
Come find peace in the Father,

Be strong in the Lord and,
Never give up hope,
You're going to do great things,
I already know,
God's got His hand on you so,
Don't live life in fear,
Forgive and forget,
But don't forget why you're here,
Take your time and pray,
Thank God for each day,
His love will find a way,
These are the words I would say

 

[TLHB70]

I am so thankful for this.................
If you have never heard it, take a moment to listen to the You Tube link. It is a BEAUTIFUL song!

When I Cry
by the Gaither Vocal Band

Makin' a list of all of the good things you've done for me.
Lord, I've never been one to complain.
But, right now I'm lost, and I can't find my way.
My world's come apart, and it's breakin' my heart.
But it helps to know; Your heart is breaking too.

When I cry, You cry. When I hurt, You hurt.
When I've lost someone, it takes a piece of You too.
And when I fall on my face, You fill me with grace.
'Cause nothing breaks Your heart, or tears You apart
Like when I cry.

Alone in the dark, face in my hands cryin' out to You.
Lord, there's never been a time in my life,
There's so much at stake, there's so much to lose.
But I trust it to You. You'll bring me through.
And it helps me to know that I'm not alone.

When I cry, You cry. When I hurt, You hurt.
When I've lost someone, it takes a piece of You too.
And when I fall on my face, You fill me with grace.
'Cause nothing breaks Your heart, or tears You apart
Like when I cry.

You're the one who calmed the raging sea.
You're the one who made the blind to see.
You looked through all of heaven and eternity,
And through it all you saw me.

When I cry, You cry. When I hurt, You hurt.
When I've lost someone, it takes a piece of You too.
And when I fall on my face, You fill me with grace.
Nothing breaks Your heart, or tears You apart
Like when I cry.

Newsboys - The Letter from the CD "Go"

I wrote you a letter
Things could be better
Full of promises, every hope and dream
Did you get it
Have you read it
Talks about you and me
And the future, you see
Something no one can do
Is take the place of you
Can't you see you’re....one of a kind

CHILD, YOU'RE LIKE A STAR
SET APART
SET APART FROM THE START OF THE WORLD
THIS IS YOUR TIME
RISE AND SHINE
CHILD, YOU’RE ONE OF A KIND

Sometimes every thing’s too much
Like the deepest cut
You hurt to be touched
When you hear it
If you feel it
Don't let it have its way
I'm writing to say
Something no one can do
Is take the place of you
Oh can't you see you’re...one of a kind

I know it's hard to hear promises
When the blue has turned to grey
Nobody said it was easy
But I know you'll find your way

 

[TLHB70]

Psalm 9:10
And those who know Your name will put their trust in You,
For You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.




You Are God Alone

You are not a god
Created by human hands
You are not a god
Dependant on any mortal man
You are not a god
In need of anything we can give
By Your plan, that's just the way it is

[chorus]
You are God alone
From before time began
You were on Your throne
Your are God alone
And right now
In the good times and bad
You are on Your throne
You are God alone

You're the only God
Whose power none can contend
You're the only God
Whose name and praise will never end
You're the only God
Who's worthy of everything we can give
You are God
And that's just the way it is

[chorus]

[bridge]
Unchangeable
Unshakable
Unstoppable
That's what You are

MATTHEW WEST SAVE A PLACE FOR ME LYRICS

Don't be mad if I cry
It just hurts so bad sometimes
'Cause everyday it's sinking in
And I have to say goodbye all over again
You know I bet it feels good to have the weight of this world off your shoulders now
I'm dreaming of the day when I'm finally there with you

Save a place for me
Save a place for me
I'll be there soon
I'll be there soon
Save a place for me
Save some grace for me
I'll be there soon
I'll be there soon

I have asked the question why
But I guess the answer's for another time
So instead I'll pray with every tear
And be thankful for the time I had you here
And I wanna live my life just like you did
Make the most of my time just like you did
And I wanna make my home up in the sky
Just like you did
Oh, but until I get there
Until I get there

 

[tinatark]

I love this - 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

 

[TLHB70]

Hey Tinatark. I love that one, too!
I just had to comment about your Tebow picture. I am a huge Tebow fan! I am seriously hoping that our Panthers draft him! I know that they have met with him, and they were in Florida just last week to watch him work out and throw. We are in the market for a quarterback this year. I would not be surprised if he comes to Charlotte! I would absolutely love that!!!!!!!! Here is an article on the subject in today's Charlotte paper!!!!! http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2010/03/25/1334701/tebow-a-panther-fox-has-his-eye.html

Good morning everyone!
I just wanted to see if anyone else went to see "Letters to God" this past weekend. http://www.letterstogodthemovie.com/ It opened on Friday. It is a new release Christian movie in theaters now. Our family went on Saturday. All I can say is WOW! It is an amazing, true story. If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend it. I will warn you, though, to be sure to have kleenex with you!!!!!! I did not have any, and I was a mess.
There is great music throughout the movie, too. I am online now trying to find the name of one of the songs. I want to get it off of iTunes if I can find it.

 

[TLHB70]

I just found the song. It is titled, "Everything is Beautiful" by Anne Marie Boskovich.
I cannot find the lyrics to post, but I found the song on You Tube so that you can listen to it.

ETA: Those are scenes from the movie in the music video.

 

[Dan Murphy]

Looks like a beautiful movie, TLHB, and the song, what a nice song. Thanks.
