OooJC2, I just got back from a praise service and the theme was water! Songs like yours and rivers. Neat!!!
 
Sooo cool, CRB! :) I love it when that happens!

Take me past the outer courts
Into the Holy Place
Past the brazen altar
Lord I want to see Your face
Pass me by the crowds of people
And the priests who sing their praise
Lord I hunger and thirst for Your righteousness
And it's only found one place

Take me in to the Holy of Holies
Take me in by the blood of the Lamb
Take me in to the Holy of Holies
Take the coal, cleanse my lips
Here I am

Take me in to the Holy of Holies
Take me in by the blood of the Lamb
Take me in to the Holy of Holies
Take the coal, cleanse my lips
Here I am</Font>

Gloria

from "Watermark"



I wish I could crash like the waves

Or turn like the autumn leaves

In effort to praise You



I wish I could smell like the forest

The fragrance lifting a mighty chorus

In effort to praise You

In effort to praise You



Chorus:

But I’m such a limited creature

And my word can only paint so many pictures

But somewhere I think I read that I am

Treasured over all creation

So I know that I must try



I wish I could roll like the thunder

To leave the earth below in wonder

In effort to praise You



I wish I could fall like the summer rain

And every drop would sing Your name

In effort to praise You

In effort to praise You



Repeat chorus



Gloria, glory in the highest

Forever I will hide myself in Thee (2x)



Every breath that I breathe

Every moment in my history

Is an effort to praise You

An effort to praise You



Glory in the highest

Forever I will hide myself in Thee

Oh, Gloria

Glory in excelsis deo

Gloria, gloria, gloria

Gloria, gloria, gloria

Well, it would seem they can clone humans now, so you would think we could hook up a conference internet call and sing togther. LOL :P


What great singing! I love the "Petra, Holy of Holies" Jenny-bo-benny! :teeth: That is an AWESOME song!

Dan, thanks for that song that pays tribute to MLK Jr. and all of his efforts to plea for equality and peace.

I love that Watermark song stampy!!!! Like Sahphire posted before, seeing, feeling, hearing recognizong God in nature is such an awesome way that he draws us to himself and makes his POWER and AUTHORITY AS CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE KNOWN! I know the mere wonder of my working body testifies to His greatness and brings HIM GLORY...If only I would praise Him as nature does...CONSTANTLY!!!

I would LOVE to be the ocean as most of you know...nothing big...:rolleyes: hehe

OCEAN/Ten Shekel Shirt

Lately I've been thinkin' 'bout You
Lately I've been dreamin' of You
Lately I can't get You out of my head
Get you out of my head

Yeah, yeah
Somethin' about the ocean
makes me rise up and praise
Something about the heavens
makes me stand in awe again
Something about the sunrise
reminds me of Your faithfulness
Something about the ocean
and I'm lost in love again!


I'll sing until I sense a smile
Upon Your great and lovely face
I'll sing until Your glory's in this place
Glory's in this place

Yeah, yeah
Somethin' about the ocean
makes me rise up and praise
Something about the heavens
makes me stand in awe again
Something about the sunrise
reminds me of Your faothfulness
Something about the ocean
and I'm lost in love again!
 
GOD PLEASER/Petra

So many voices telling me which way to go
So many choices come from those who think they know
There's a way that sems right to a man but it only brings him death
I wanna go the way that leads to life till I draw my dying breath

Don't wanna be a man pleaser
I wanna be a God Pleaser
I just want to have the wisdom to discern the two apart
Don't wanna be a man pleaser
I wanna be a God pleaser
I just want to do the things that please the Father's heart


Some make the sacrifice and never let it show
Some make the point of letting everybody know
Some will live their lives as unto men and they have their reward
I want to live the way that leads to life with my heart unto the Lord

Don't wanna be a man pleaser
I wanna be a God Pleaser
I just want to have the wisdom to discern the two apart
Don't wanna be a man pleaser
I wanna be a God pleaser
I just want to do the things that please the Father's heart


I just want my life to glorify His Son
To make my Father proud that I'm His child before I'm done
No need to past me on my back or stop and shake my hand
I just wanna hear my Father say, "Well Done, Well Done!"
I just wanna hear my Father say, "Well Done!"


Don't wanna be a man pleaser
I wanna be a God Pleaser
I just want to have the wisdom to discern the two apart
Don't wanna be a man pleaser
I wanna be a God pleaser
I just want to do the things that please the Father's heart
 
Hi everyone, I love this water theme we've got going! The songs sound great! The ocean is my favorite of God's creation, too, as it reminds me of His magnitude and power.

How many are your works, O Lord!
In wisdom you made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.
There is the sea, vast and spacious,
teeming with creatures beyond number-
living things both large and small.
There the ships go to and fro,
and the leviathan,
which you formed to frolic there.

--Psalm 104: 24-26
 
Hey Jill! :) I love those songs!!

Saphire, what awesome scripture!! :)
 
"Who alone stretches out the heavens and tramples down the waves of the sea." Job 9:8

You all know I'LL go along with that water theme! I think Ariel must've been a distant relative of mine :teeth:

Isn't it amazing that we were just studying this portion of Mark in my Bible Study!

Once again...my favorite...my theme song...

Strollin' On The Water/Bryan Duncan

(During the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. 'It is a ghost," they said, and cried out in fear. But Jesus said to them, "Take courage. It is I, *don't be afraid," don't be afraid, don't be afraid...)

*{This miracle was performed on purpose to show the disciples who Jesus was...they still didn't get it even after witnessing the loaves and fishes! Jesus started to pass them by on the water until they saw Him. This is an image of God passing by Moses in the cleft of the Rock to make Himself fully known to Moses. Then Jesus' response..."Don't be afraid. It is I" is further interpreted to say..."Don't be afraid...I AM"}


Open up my eyes, I pray
Lord, for just a little glimpse of you
That's all I need, it's all I've ever needed
To see beyond myself, beyond this tiny, little world
All your hands have made
With beauty and strength alone
I can see you comin' to me now
Oh, like a shimmerin' light
Shimmerin' light on an open sea
Barefoot on the water
Laughin' at the ocean
Like you were old friends
Callin' out my name
Saying 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
Do do do do do do, do do do do do do, do do do do do do

Help me cut these bonds where I keep my spirit tied
All safe and dry
Safe and dry, but so afraid
Let me come to you
Let me run to you
With my heart still beating
Beating in my throat
With my sweaty palms and mouth so dry
Shakin' 'til 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, yeah!

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 keep your eyes on me
DO YOU FEEL ALIVE?
Try turnin' circles, yeah
Bend your knees
And hold your hands up high
Can you 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!


Strollin' on the water
High over every care
Strollin' on the water
Sinking no longer
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
Strollin' on the water
High over every care
(I know where my strength comes from)
Strollin' on the water
Sinking no longer
Strollin' on the water
High over every care
(I know where my strength comes from)
Strollin' on the water
Sinking no longer
Strollin' on the water
High over every care
Strollin' on the water
Sinking no longer
 
:eek: Jill, I love that! I have never heard that song before. Awesome!! :) I think I *almost* heard you singing it!! :) :)
 
Spring Up O, Well

I've got a river of life flowing out of me
Makes the lame to walk and the blind to see
Open prison doors sets the captive free
I've got a river of life flowing out of me

Spring up O, well (splish, splash)
Within my soul
Spring up O, well (splish, splash)
and make me whole
Spring up O, well (splish, splash)
and give to me that life abundantly!
 
I'll give a star to whoever can find the rest of the words for this song...

Get Me to the River/ Harvest

Get me to the river
where the waters flow
Get me to the river
The more I taste the more I want
I gotta get up and go
The more I taste the more I want
I gotta get up and go
Gotta get up and GO!!!!
 
BEFORE THE RIVER CAME /4HIM

I've been lookin' at the past
I've wasted too much time
On things that won't last
I've built a kingdom out of rubble and sand
But I don't, I don't want to hold on to it all
I'm ready for the river to run and wash it away

I'm singin'
Come sweet water
Cleanse my soul
Shower me
And make me whole
Consume me with healing flood
Leave no traces of the man that I was
Before the river came


There's no freedom in the chains
They hold you captive to the guilt of your stains
One drop of water brings
an ocean of change
And I long, I long to move on from it all
I'm ready for the river to run and wash it away
I'm singin'

I'm singin'
Come sweet water
Cleanse my soul
Shower me
And make me whole
Consume me with healing flood
Leave no traces of the man that I was
Before the river came


Baptize and bury me
Until only You remain (come and rescue me)
I don't want to be the man that I was
Long before the river came


I'm singin'
Come sweet water
Cleanse my soul
Shower me
And make me whole
Consume me with healing flood
Leave no traces of the man that I was
Before the river came
 
I've got peace like a river
I've got peace like a river
I 've got peace like a river in my soul

I've got peace like a river
I've got peace like a river
I 've got peace like a river in my soul

I've got love like an ocean
I've got love like an ocean
I've got love like an oceam in my soul

I've got love like an ocean
I've got love like an ocean
I've got love like an oceam in my soul

I've got joy like a fountain
I've got joy like a fountain
I 've got joy like a fountain in my soul

I've got joy like a fountain
I've got joy like a fountain
I 've got joy like a fountain in my soul

I've got peace, love joy like a river
I've got peace, love, joy like an ocean
I've got peace, love, joy like a fountain in my soul

I've got peace, love joy like a river
I've got peace, love, joy like an ocean
I've got peace, love, joy like a fountain in my soul
 
Jill, we sing Spring Up O Well at our church back home!! Love that! :)
 
:( I wanted a star, but Google is saying "no way!"
Maybe someone will have the lyrics, though, and share their star with me! :)

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

Another "river" song!

Like a river glorious, is God’s perfect peace,
Over all victorious, in its bright increase;
Perfect, yet it floweth, fuller every day,
Perfect, yet it groweth, deeper all the way.

Refrain

Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest
Finding, as He promised, perfect peace and rest.

Hidden in the hollow of His blessed hand,
Never foe can follow, never traitor stand;
Not a surge of worry, not a shade of care,
Not a blast of hurry touch the spirit there.

Refrain

Every joy or trial falleth from above,
Traced upon our dial by the Sun of Love;
We may trust Him fully all for us to do.
They who trust Him wholly find Him wholly true.

Refrain
