<Font color="darkgreen"><B>Jehovah</B> by Amy Grant

Consider the lilies of the field
Solomon dressed in royal robes has not the worth of them
Consider the lilies of the field
He takes after each and every need
Leave all your cares behind
Seek him and you will find
Your father loves you so

Consider the lilies of the air
For all of the diamonds in all the earth have not the wealth of them
Consider the creatures of the air
Jehovah loves them with tender hands
He knows your every care
His touch is always there
To see you through the night

And Jehovah I love you so
And Jesus I want you to know
For all you've done for me to set me free
I'll never let you go

Consider the lilies of the field
For how much more does he love his own if Yaweh cares for them
Consider the creatures of the air
He takes after each and every need
If we ask Him for bread
Will He give us a stone
Jehovah loves His own

And Jehovah I love you so
And Jesus I want you to know
For all you've done for me to set me free
I'll never let you go</Font>

Not Of This World/Petra

We are pilgrims in a strange land
We are so far from our homeland
With each passing day it seems so clear
This world will never want us here
We're not welcome in this world of wrong
We are foreigners who don't belong

We are strangers, we are aliens
We are not of this world

We are envoys, we must tarry
With this message we must carry
There's so much to do before we leave
With so many more who may believe
Our mission here can never fail
And the gates of hell will not prevail

We are strangers, we are aliens
We are not of this world

Jesus told us men would hate us
But we must be of good cheer
He has overcome this world of darkness
And soon we will depart from here

We are strangers, we are aliens
We are not of this world

Creed/Petra

I believe in God the Father - maker of heaven and earth
And in Jesus Christ His only Son
I believe in the virgin birth
I believe in the Man of Sorrows bruised for iniquities
I believe in the Lamb who was crucified and hung between two thieves

I believe in the resurrection on the third and glorious day
And I believe in the empty tomb and the stone that the angel rolled away
He descended and set the captives free
And now He sits at God's right hand and prepares a place for me

This is my creed - the witness I have heard
The faith that has endured
This truth is assured
Through the darkest ages past
Though persecuted, it will last
And I will hold steadfast to this creed

I believe He sent His Spirit to comfort and to reveal
To lead us into the truth and light, to baptize and to seal
I believe that He will come back the way He went away
And receive us all unto Himself, but no man knows the day

This is my creed - the witness I have heard
The faith that has endured
This truth is assured
Through the darkest ages past
Though persecuted, it will last
And I will hold steadfast to this creed

I believe He is the Judge of all men, small and great
The resurrected souls of men receive from Him their fate
Some to death and some to life, some to their reward
Some to sing eternal praise forever to our Lord

This is my creed - the witness I have heard
The faith that has endured
This truth is assured
Through the darkest ages past
Though persecuted, it will last
And I will hold steadfast to this creed

Your love is everlasting
It's an everlasting love
Your mercy is as new
As every rising of the sun
And Your loving kindness
Your loving kindness is better than life

Your grace is all-sufficient
It's an all sufficient grace
Your power and Your glory
Are forever on display
And Your loving kindness
Your loving kindness is better than life

Oh it's better
Oh much better than life
Oh so much better
Jesus Your loving kindness
Is better than life

Fairest of ten thousand
Of ten thousand You are fair
And nothing in this world
Could ever measure or compare
To Your loving kindness
Your loving kindness is better than life

All Your ways are just oh Lord
You're just in all Your ways
And I will lift my hands oh Lord
In gratitude and praise
For Your loving kindness
Your loving kindness is better than life

Oh it's better
Oh much better than life
Oh so much better
Jesus Your loving kindness
Is better than life</Font>

 

[Hemi-mom]

Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature,
O Thou of God and man the Son,
Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor,
Thou, my soul’s glory, joy and crown.

Fair are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands,
Robed in the blooming garb of spring;
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer,
Who makes the woeful heart to sing.

Fair is the sunshine,
Fairer still the moonlight,
And all the twinkling starry host;
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels heaven can boast.

All fairest beauty, heavenly and earthly,
Wondrously, Jesus, is found in Thee;
None can be nearer, fairer or dearer,
Than Thou, my Savior, art to me.

Beautiful Savior! Lord of all the nations!
Son of God and Son of Man!
Glory and honor, praise, adoration,
Now and forever more be Thine.

I am truly A2J, (Addicted to Jesus)!!!!!!

Never Been Unloved/Michael W Smith

I have been unfaithful
I have been unworthy
I have been unrighteous
And I have been unmerciful

I have been unreachable
I have been unteachable
I have been unwilling
And I have been undesirable

And sometimes I have been unwise
I've been undone by what I'm unsure of
But because of you
And all that you went through
I know that I have never been unloved

I have been unbroken
I have been unmended
I have been uneasy
And I've been unapproachable

I've been unemotional
I've been unexceptional
I've been undecided
And I have been unqualified

Unaware--I have been unfair
I've been unfit for blessings from above
But even I can see
The sacrifice You made for me
To show that I have never been unloved

It's because of you
And all that you went through
I know that I have never been unloved.

<Font color="deeppink"><B> Mercy Came Running</B> Phillips Craig & Dean

Once there was a holy place
Evidence of God's embrace
And I can almost see mercy's face
Pressed against the veil

Looking down with longing eyes
Mercy must have realized
That once His blood was sacrificed
Freedom would prevail

And as the sky grew dark
And the earth began to shake
With justice no longer in the way

Mercy came running
Like a prisoner set free
Past all my failures
To the point of my need
When the sin that I carried
Was all I could see
And when I could not reach mercy
Mercy came running to me

Once there was a broken heart
Way too human from the start
And all the years left it torn apart
Hopeless and afraid

Walls I never meant to build
Left this prisoner unfulfilled
Freedom called but even still
It seemed so far away

I was bound by the chains
From the wages of my sin
Just when I felt like giving in

Mercy came running
Like a prisoner set free
Past all my failures
To the point of my need
When the sin that I carried
Was all I could see
And when I could not reach mercy
Mercy came running to me

Sometimes I still feel so far
So far from where I really should be
He gently calls to my heart
To remind me

Mercy came running
Like a prisoner set free
Past all my failures
To the point of my need
When the sin that I carried
Was all I could see
And when I could not reach mercy
Mercy came running to me

[JC2]

Come just as you are
Hear the Spirit call
Come just as you are
Come and see
Come receive
Come and live forever

Life everlasting
Strength for today
Taste the living waters
And never thirst again

How lovely is Your dwelliong place
Oh Lord, Almighty
My soul longs and even faints for You

For here my heart is satisfied
within Your presence
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 Your courts

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 Your courts

My heart and my 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 in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts
Than thousands elsewhere

Better is ONE DAY
Better is ONE DAY
Better is ONE DAY with You!

[Princess Michelle]

A pure heart
That's what I long for
A heart that follows hard after Thee

A pure heart
That's what I long for
A heart that follows hard after Thee

A heart that hides Your Word
So that sin will not come in
A heart that's undivided
One You rule and reign
A heart that beats compassion
That pleases You my Lord
A sweet aroma of worship
That rises to Your throne

Song in My Soul by AVB

Words and music: Danny Elliott and Alex Fagen
Lead: Danny Elliott

Lyrics:

You put a song in my soul when you made me

Chorus:
You put a song in my soul and wanna let it out
Your Spirit in my life well it makes me want to shout
I'm moved to sing with every beat of my heart
You put a song in my soul when you made me

People think I'm crazy when I'm praising your name
Well, I get so excited 'cause there's nothing quite the same
The smile on my face comes from the smile in my heart
You put a song in my soul when you made me

Repeat Chorus

I will still be singing 'til the day that I die
And Lord I heard you promise a home up in the sky
My joy is in your Spirit, and song in your name
You put a song in my soul when you made me! (C'mon)

Song in my soul, I will lift my voice to you
Song in my soul, And I'll give the praise to you
Song in my soul, I will give my life to you
Song in my soul!
Song in my soul, I will lift my voice to you
Song in my soul, And I'll give the praise to you
Song in my soul, I will give my life to you
Song in my soul!

Repeat Chorus

Everybody needs to know that your love endures forever (love endures forever)
Everybody praise His name, lift your voice in worship to the Father (worship the Lord)

Repeat Chorus

Scriptural Reference:

"He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord." Psalm 40:3

 

[Princess Michelle]

Hey herc! I LOVE AVB!!!

Psalm 40 is also one of my favorite verses! In fact I was going to sing this song earlier and never got around to it...

I waited
For the Lord on high
I waited
And He heard my cry

He pulled me out of my despair
He taught me how to walk
From fear into security
From quicksand to the Rock

I waited
For the Lord on high
I waited
And He heard my cry

I sing to let the people know
That I have been restored
And they will kneel and understand
To return and trust in the Lord

I waited
For the Lord on high
I waited
And He heard my cry

And there's a new song
In my heart to sing
There's a new song
Praises for my King

I waited
For the Lord on high
I waited
And He heard my cry

 

[doxdogy]

Unfortunately, I don't sing as well as everyone else. My favorite is On Eagle's Wings. That is one of the few songs that will bring me to tears.

 

[herc]

I knew you would like AVB Michelle. I listen to them when I am on the stairmaster.
I was listening to that very song today and thought I should post it.

 

[Princess Michelle]

herc, how did you know I would like them? Maybe because there's almost no group/singer I don't like? LOL

Welcome doxdogy, not just to this thread but to the DIS in general! We're glad you are here. Don't worry about being able to sing, there are a few of us (okay, me) who can't sing either! LOL I hope you will stop by this thread as often as you like and feel free to sing or talk or whatever!

Just for you...

On Eagle's Wings

You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,
who abide in His shadow for life,
say to the Lord: "My refuge, my rock in whom I trust!"

And He will raise you up on eagles’ wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of His hand.

The snare of the fowler will never capture you,
and famine will bring you no fear:
under His wings your refuge, His faithfulness your shield.

And He will raise you up on eagles’ wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of His hand.

You need not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day;
though thousands fall about you, near you it shall not come.

And He will raise you up on eagles’ wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of His hand.

For to His angels He's given a command
to guard you in all of your ways;
upon their hands they will bear you up,
lest you dash your foot against a stone.

And He will raise you up on eagles’ wings,
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun,
and hold you in the palm of His hand.
