How lovely is Your dwelling place
O Lord Almighty
For my soul longs and even faints for You
For here my heart is satisfied
Within Your presence
And I sing beneath the shadow of Your wings

Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in You courts than thousands elsewhere
Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in You courts than thousands elsewhere

One thing I ask and I would seek
To see Your beauty
To find You in the place Your glory dwells
One thing I ask and I would seek
To see Your beauty
To find You in the place Your glory dwells

Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in You courts than thousands elsewhere
Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in You courts than thousands elsewhere

My heart and flesh cry out
For You the living God
Your Spirit's water to my soul
I've tasted and I've seen
Come once again to me
I will draw near to You
I will draw near to You

Better is one day
Better is one day
Better is one day than thousands elsewhere...</Font>

Hey y'all, I was wondering what are the songs that you sing at your church most frequently?
Some at our church our:
<B>Amazing Love (You Are My King)
We Bow Down (we lay our crowns)
Give God the Glory
Open the Eyes of my heart</B>

And my mind just went blank, LOL. What are some you sing at your church?

 

[JC2]

<Font color="purple"><B>
O sacred King
O holy King
How can I honor You rightly
Honor that's fit for Your name

O sacred Friend
O holy Friend
I don't take what You did lightly
Friendship instead of disgrace

For it's the mystery of the universe
You're the God of holiness
Yet You welcome souls like me
And with the blessing of Your Father's heart
You discipline the ones You love
There's kindness in Your majesty

Jesus those who recognize Your power
Know just how wonderful You are
That You draw near

Jesus those who recognize Your power
Know just how wonderful You are
That You draw near

Draw near Lord</Font>

Hey, JC never-2-down to lift HIm up! We'll... hopefully NEVER, right!? Thank you for the great songs and that wonderful encouraging Scripture from Deuteronomy! Reminds me of old MWS, (with that full beard thing going, Michelle)!

We have been trying to expand our repetoire and tend to teach a new song a month so of course they will be repeated a lot. Here are some regulars and most loved by our congregation from the feedback I have heard:

You Are My All in All (sung in a round with men and women, BTW when we first did it this way, some smarty pants made some comment to me about being in Kindergarten and singing Row, Row, Row your boat... )
Shine on Us
Blessed Be the Name of the Lord
Open the Eyes of My Heart
Shout to the Lord
My Life is in You...

We alternate a lot though from a pretty good repertoire of older stuff and introduce the newer as we go...because of the ever expanding "Praise" knowledge of the WT's youngest member...ME! Yes, at 34&1/2 I am the Team's YOUNGEST member...what does THAT tell ya'll!! I do STRUGGLE sometimes... (I'm sure enjoying the a lot today!)

Hey, tomorrow, the 20th, is Dan's birthday! He will be old enough to run for President! (Let's NOT go THERE)! His biggest birthday wish is most likely coming true today...we are expecting a big-seems-like-God-sent-it-our-way-just-for-Dan snow storm today which should leave a nice 6-8 inches for him to enjoy tomorrow on his B-day! He leads such a charmed life! His second wish...to have off from work on his birthday...is a reality since it falls on a Sunday...PLUS he has Monday off for Martin Luther King Day!!! How Lucky can one guy get??? Well, He IS married to ~~~ME~~~ (There I go again)! Last night we had a birthday dinner here with His parents and my mom and Dan ordered from the chef...Steak, baked potato, steamed veggies, salad, rolls...and a chocolate chip almond pound cake with a layer of fudge in the middle and buttercream icing and decorated with ...what else...snowflakes!!!! What rich taste...(Again, look at the WIFE)! Everyone else got the same meal too!

Salivating??? It was delicious...but very HEAVY. Glad his birthday only comes once a year! LOL

How about a song!?

<>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <><

Lord, I Lift Your Name on High

Lord I Lift Your Name on High
Lord, I love to sing Your praises
I'm so glad You're in my life
I'm so glad You came to save us

You came from heaven to earth to show the way
From the earth to the cross
My debt to pay
From the cross to the grave
From the grave to the sky
Lord, I lift Your name on high!

AMEN!

 

[JC2]

Good afternoon Jill! So good to see you here. I love <B>Lord I Lift Your Name on High</B>! It just sums the gospel message up! Y'all sing some great songs at your church! <B>Blessed be the Name of the Lord</B> is one of my favorites.
Hey, Happy Birthday to Dan! I am so glad you guys are getting snow! Weeeeeeeeeee! Have fuuunnnnnn!
That cake you had for Dan's birthday sounds sooooooo delicious!!

Jesus Jesus Jesus
There's just something about that name
Master Savior Jesus
Like the fagrance after the rain
Jesus Jesus Jesus
Let all heaven and earth proclaim
Kings and kingdoms will all pass away
But there's something about that name</Font>

 

[Saphire]

Good Evening everyone! Listen to the words of this lovely hymn...

Jesus, what a friend for sinners! Jesus, lover of my soul:
Friends may fail me, foes assail me, He my Savior makes me whole.

Jesus,what a strength in sorrow! Let me hide myself in Him;
Tempted, tried and sometimes failing, He my strength, my vict'ry wins.

Hallelujah! What a Savior! Hallelujah! What a Friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving, He is with me to the end.

Jesus, what a help in sorrow! While the billows o'er me roll,
Even when my heart is breaking, He, my comfort, helps my soul.

Jesus, what a guide and keeper, while the tempest still is high,
Storms about me, night o'er takes me, He, my pilot hears my cry.

Jesus, I do now receive Him, more than all in Him I find;
He hath granted me forgiveness, I am His, and He is mine.

Hallelujah! What a Savior! Hallelujah! What a Friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving, He is with me to the end.

Good morning everyone!!!

Saphire- That is a beautiful hymn, thank you so much for posting it. It's always good to see you.

This is the day that the Lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day that the Lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
Rejoice in the Lord
Rejoice in the Lord

We will celebrate the presence of the Lord
For He is worthy to be praised
Celebrate the presence of the Lord
For He is worthy to be praised
Rejoice in the Lord
Rejoice in the Lord

I bow my knee before Your throne
I know my life is not my own
I offer up this song of praise
To bring You pleasure Lord

I seek the Giver not the gift
My desire is to lift You
High above all earthly things
To bring You pleasure Lord

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah Glory to the King
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah Glory to the King
<br>
<br>
I love You Lord
And I lift my voice
To worship You
O my soul rejoice
Take joy my King
In what You hear
And let it be a sweet sweet sound
In Your ear

I love You Lord
And I lift my voice
To worship You
O my soul rejoice
Take joy my King
In what You hear
And let it be a sweet sweet sound
In Your ear</Font>

 

[Princess Michelle]

Hey JC2 is my favorite number

God Almighty
Full of glory
You're clothed in power and majesty
You're exalted
Over all things
From Your throne decends all authority

You are high and lifted up
You are high and lifted up
And the angels all surround You
Crying holy is the Lord

You are high and lifted up
You are high and lifted up
Saints from every age adore You
Crying holy is the Lord
Crying holy is the Lord

 

[Princess Michelle]

I almost forgot! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAN!!!!!

 

[luvmy2sams]

I've got to post this one again. It's my favorite right now...can't seem to get it out of my head.


KNOWING YOU

All I once held dear, built my life upon, all this world reveres and wars to own,
All I once thought gain I have counted loss,
Spent and worthless now compared to this.

Knowing You, Jesus, knowing You, there is no greater thing.
You're my all, You're the best,
You're my joy, my righteousness, and I love You, Lord.

Now my heart's desire is to know You more,
To be found in You and known as Yours,
To possess by faith what I could not earn,
All-surpassing gift of righteousness.

Knowing You, Jesus, knowing You, there is no greater thing.
You're my all, You're the best,
You're my joy, my righteousness, and I love You, Lord.


Have a wonderful week everyone!

 

[JC2]

Michelle, that's such a good song! Good to see you!

When I look into Your holiness
When I gaze into Your loveliness
When all things that surround
Become shadow in the light of You

When I've found the joy of reaching Your heart
When my will becomes enthroned in Your love
And when all things that surround
Become shadows in the light of You

I worship You
I worship You
The reason I live is to worship You

On bended knee I come
With a humble heart I come
Bowing down before Your holy throne
Lifting holy hands to You
As I pledge my love anew
I worship You in Spirit
I worship You in truth
Make my life a holy praise unto You

On bended knee I come

You are my portion
You are my lot
My inheritance and my reward
You're all I need
You're all I've got
You're my everything O Lord
You're my everything O Lord</Font>

Lord, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure.
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
Psalm 16:5-6

Hi everyone! I finally got on...it said the server was too busy this AM

Dan, happy belated B-day! Sounds like a wonderful dinner you had! And by the sounds, you have an awesome wife(that's what she says anyway)! Did you get your snow? We got about 3 inches today!

JC2, we sing a ton of songs...most of which I can't remember. LOL! Here are the ones I do remember!!

All in All(yup, we do the round thing like Jilly)
Come, now is the time to worship
Open the eyes of my Heart
In the Presence


We sang one yesterday that I tried really hard (honest I did) to remember to sing for you guys! something about " Praises, praises" that's it. Oh well... We also learned a new one last night, which I didn't even attempt to remember. It had all kinds of echoes and well...I just couldn't that's all! You guys know me...and still love me(I hope)

Power Verse:

Hi guys, I just read a thread posted by Huckster. She needs our prayers to day. She is REALLY down - things have been tough with her DS lately(school related I believe). Told her I'd let you all know.

Anyone know the words to "Because He Lives" it seems appropriate for Huck today. All I remember is:

Because He lives
I can face tomorrow
Because He lives
All fear is gone


Other thatn that it is a jumbled mess of lyrics - someone put them in order for me!!

 

[Princess Michelle]

I'm still praying for huckster. I know she is going through a trial right now. We love you huckster. {{{hugs}}}


God sent His Son - they called Him Jesus,
He came to love, heal and forgive;
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.

Because He lives I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just because He lives.

How sweet to hold a newborn baby
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
But greater still the calm assurance:
This child can face uncertain days because Christ lives.

Because He lives I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just because He lives.

And then one day I'll cross the river,
I'll fight life's final war with pain;
And then, as death gives way to victory,
I'll see the lights of glory - and I'll know He lives.

Because He lives I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just because He lives.

 

[JC2]

Hey Stamper! I really like those songs that you mentioned that you all sing at your church! We sang <B>You are My All in All</B> this past Sunday. Love that! Thanks for the sweet reminder to keep huckster in our prayers.

huckster, I'm praying!

Hey Michelle
