Christian Music

[Dan Murphy]

Yes, I Believe

When I said that I would follow
It was with an honest heart
But I didn't fully understand the cost
'Cause there are saints throughout the ages
And there are those today
Who show us what it really means to carry the cross
That only fuels my devotion
No matter what comes I will say

(Chorus)
Yes, I believe
I believe with all that is in me
Yes, I believe
Though the world rises up against me
I will be faithful
To the choice I have made
I am determined
I will not be ashamed
To live so the whole world can see
That yes, I believe

There will never be a reason
To lose this confidence
For I have found where my assurance lies
It is not in my own power
But in who my savior is
And the truth of this conviction
Makes me shout to the sky

(Repeat Chorus)

Yes, I believe he is risen
Yes, I believe we are forgiven
Yes, I believe and one day we'll see him
And together we'll say

--Point of Grace

Loving the singing as always!

Dan...I really like that POG song! We saw them last Oct. and that was one that they sang...it's nice that it is finally on the radio!

 

[JC2]

Dan, I Love that song!!

Stamper!! Thanks for the power verse!

 

[Saphire]

Once I was in darkness,
Now my eyes can see,
I was lost but Jesus sought and found me;
Oh, what love He offers,
Oh, what peace He gives,
I will sing forevermore He lives!

Hallelujah Jesus, Hallelujah Lord,
Hallelujah Father I am shielded by Your Word,
I will live forever, I will never die,
I will rise up to meet You in the sky!

 

[irishone1979]

This is a hymn that David Crowder re-wrote to an Irish tune

Come Thou Fount of many blessings
Tune thy heart to sing thy praise
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of Loudest Praise

Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tounges above
Raise the Mount I'm fixed upon it
Mount of thy redeeming love

Here I raise my ebineezer
Hither by thy help I come
Let thy goodness like a feater
Safely to arrive at home

Prone to Wander Lord I feel it
Prone to Leave the God I love
Here's my Heart Lord take and Seal it
Seal it for thy courts above.

There is more to the song, but my brain is on shutdown mode since I am getting married on Saturday!
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!

Heather K (Soon to be Heather S)

Love the Lord your God With all you Heart with all your Soul with all your Mind and with all your Strength.

 

[JC2]

Hey Heather!! I love that song - and that version of it! David Crowder has some great music! Thanks so much for posting. I hope you'll post more often!
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!!

 

[irishone1979]

Thanks JC2
I will post more often. I have TONS of Christian songs that I love. All of them are in my head, it's just trying to get them out. My dad was a music minister so I have lived with a very musical family.
My dad's favorite Hymn is Rock of Ages.
I love praise music and David Crowder would have to be my favorite- Especially since I got to meet him in person and all He is an awsome man of God.

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 my days
- Rich Mullins

[JC2]

Woohoo! I Love Step By Step, too!

How cool that you met David Crowder! And that your dad was a Minister of Music! I agree with your dad - Rock of Ages is a great hymn!

 

[Princess Michelle]

Howdy Ya'll!

Stampy!!!! So good to hear a power verse again! What a good reminder that one is too.

Dan, Heather, JC2, Saphire, love those songs!

Every Reason To Believe/4HIM

Searching for a reason to hold on to faith
Your grip is getting weaker
Strength just slips away
At times you get discouraged
By what you see inside
It’s time to look toward heaven
Lay your doubts aside

Our Lord is trustworthy and able
Time and again He has proven
Himself faithful

There is
Every reason to believe
Every promise made is true
In the seasons of our lives
A strong hope in God will lead us through
We can shout
We can rejoice
Steadfast faith gives us the voice
To express what our minds
Cannot conceive
There’s every reason to believe

Long ago eternity stepped into time
Redeeming fallen man by laying down His life
One truth forever silencing His Foes
The Christ arose

Sing praise to the God of salvation
Whose power sustains us
Through every situation

There is
Every reason to believe
Every promise made is true
In the seasons of our lives
A strong hope in God will lead us through
We can shout
We can rejoice
Steadfast faith gives us the voice
To express what our minds
Cannot conceive
There’s every reason to believe

Power Verse:
11/07/02 "We live by faith, not by sight." 2 Corinthians 5:7

Love the songs...wish I had one to add. It is almost Christmas music time though....

Michelle, what ever happened with the vote at your church?

 

[Keli]

I like this song by Kurt Carr called "I almost let Go". Actually I like a lot of Kurt Carr's songs.



I almost let go,
I felt like I just couldn't take life anymore
My problems had me bound
Depression weighed my down
But God held me close
so I wouldn't let go
God's mercy kept me
so I wouldn't let go.

I almost gave up
I was right at the edge of a break through but couldn't see it
The devil really had me
But Jesus came and grabbed me
And he held me close so I wouldn't let go.
God's mercy kept me
So I wouldn't let go

So I'm here today because of God kept me
I'm alive today only because of his grace
Oh he kept me, God kept me
He kept me so I wouldn't let go

THE MESSAGE /4HIM

The fields are white and now the time has come
For there's a harvest, there is work left to be done
Lord here am I, I will be the one
I'm committed to the finish
Until the setting of the sun
Lord, I will be faithful in all I say and do


To live a love that never fails
To love my neighbor as myself
And to give til there is nothing left to give
To live a faith that never dies
To be crucified with Christ
Until all that lives through me
Is the message

I can't ignore what's right before my eyes
For all around this world is searching for a sign
Outside the door they're living in the night
And the light that lives within me
Is the hope they long to find
So I must be faithful in all I say and do


To live a love that never fails
To love my neighbor as myself
And to give til there is nothing left to give
To live a faith that never dies
To be crucified with Christ
Until all that lives through me
Is the message



If we all will work together
We can make this world a better place to live
We can make a difference if we try


To live a love that never fails
To love my neighbor as myself
And to give til there is nothing left to give
To live a faith that never dies
To be crucified with Christ
Until all that lives through me
Is the message

This one goes with Stamper's power verse above.


ALL THE EVIDENCE I NEED/4HIM

Well I've seen the news
And I've heard the questions
Seems the thing to do
Is to keep second guessing
The one who made the earth and sky
I guess it's okay just to wonder why
But I know the truth, and I know I'm certain
It's not a mystery, It's not behind a curtain
The veil was torn many year ago
And the Spirit stayed just to let us know
That the answer is not in the stars way up high
But the answer is found in believing in Christ


So I am walking by faith and not by sight
And I am trusting in invisible things
For I have felt in my heart
What I can't see with my eyes
'Cause the proof is living inside of me
I've been set free
And this is all the evidence I need

There are pyramids
In the land of Egypt
There are those who say
That they contain the secrets
To where we're from and why we're here
But I think God's Word makes it crystal clear
That the ancient tombs in the barren desert
Do not hold the clues
They do not hold the answers
The truth has already been revealed
For it's moving in me and I know that it's real
'Cause it's not in the grave for the skeptics to see
But he lives in the hearts of the ones who believe


So I am walking by faith and not by sight
And I am trusting in invisible things
For I have felt in my heart
What I can't see with my eyes
'Cause the proof is living inside of me
I've been set free
And this is all the evidence I need


'Cause I know Your love reaches out to me
In my weakest of days
For I've felt Your touch In my hearts of hearts
Though I've never even seen Your face


So I am walking by faith and not by sight
And I am trusting in invisible things
For I have felt in my heart
What I can't see with my eyes
'Cause the proof is living inside of me
I've been set free
And this is all the evidence I need

 

[Hemi-mom]

SIGNS AND WONDERS/4HIM

We don't need a psychic line
To tell us what is on your mind
We don't need to search for what is
Hidden in the stars
We don't need a horoscope
To bring us life to give us hope
You are God
So we just need to trust
In who You are

You sent love to live in us,
So we just need to trust
The signs and wonders of the heart


You light the dark
You are Truth in love
So we just need to trust
The signs and wonders of the heart

We don't need a clever scheme,
Political positioning
We don't need a guru
On the outside looking in
We don't need an alibi
To justify our place in life
You are in control,
The means will justify the end

You sent love to live in us,
So we just need to trust the signs and wonders of the heart

You light the dark
You are Truth in love
So we just need to trust
The signs and wonders of the heart

You sent love to live in us,
So we just need to trust
The signs and wonders of the heart

You light the dark
You are Truth in love
So we just need to trust
The signs and wonders of the heart

 

[Hemi-mom]

OBVIOUS/4HIM

What are we trying to hide?
What are we trying to conceal?
When we hold this treasure inside
Of heaven that is evidently real
It's time to say the words
And live the words we say
We are a testament of Jesus on display


Obvious in us
It must be obvious
Like writing on the wall
Obvious in us
It must be obvious

This is a desperate place
Crying out for truth to be revealed
So why don't we cut to the chase
And tell it like it is
We're on a mission
There's no time for masquerade
We are the evidence of God's amazing grace


Obvious in us
It must be obvious
Like writing on the wall
Obvious in us
It must be obvious

The truth should be obvious
The truth should be obvious

We've got to say the words
And live the words we say
We are the evidence
Of God's amazing grace

Obvious in you and me
Let the truth be plain to see
Crystal clear like writing on the wall

Obvious in you and me
Let His love be plain to see
The fruit we bear is no mystery at all


Obvious in us
It must be obvious
Like writing on the wall
Obvious in us
It must be obvious

 

[Hemi-mom]

WHO'S AT THE WHEEL/4HIM

Out on this narrow road
Eyeing every exit sign
I wanna take control
Running this race through my mind
A constant struggle just to sit on the side
My own ambition tells me I gotta drive
But the key that turns my soul
Tells me who's King of this road


Who keeps your life between the lines?
Tell me who's at the wheel?
When left is wrong who steers it right?
Tell me who's at the wheel?

Here in this great unknown
Traveling day and night
These wheels are not our own
We're just along for the ride
Life is a journey of the choices We make
I'll rediscover every mile of the way
That there's only one way home
It's riding with the King of this road


Who keeps your life between the lines?
Tell me who's at the wheel?
When left is wrong who steers it right?
Tell me who's at the wheel?

These wheels are turning faster than they ever have before
The lights are flashing
Warning signs that we just can't ignore
we got the pedal to the floor

Life is a journey of the choices we make
Now rediscover every mile of the way
That there's only one way home
It's riding with the King of this road


Who keeps your life between the lines?
Tell me who's at the wheel?
When left is wrong who steers it right?
Tell me who's at the wheel?

 

[Hemi-mom]

REAL THING/4HIM

I can dream about heaven constantly
Both day and night
I can let my mind drift away to a better place
A better time
Though there’s nothing wrong with thinking about
Forever by and by
All the while millions are still searching for a light

Maybe it is time we take a look
At here and now
Maybe we can change the destiny
Of a world that’s crying out
For the truth we take for granted
Is too often left unsaid
We can get so heaven minded
That sometimes we forget


That we’re living in a real world
With real hurt and real pain
And all we really need is the real thing
When we look beyond our circumstance
And face reality
We’ll realize that all we really need
Is just to see
Jesus in a real world

There are days when I look around
And I feel like hope is gone
There are times my heart is torn between
Who is right and what is wrong
There are causes I believe in
There are things I’ll never change
But I’m finding all that matters
Is there’s just one truth
One truth that remains


'Cause we’re living in a real world
With real hurt and real pain
And all we really need is the real thing
When we look beyond our circumstance
And face reality
We’ll realize that all we really need
Is just to see
Jesus in a real world

 

[Hemi-mom]

LAY IT ALL ON THE LINE/4HIM

So don't go wastin' your time
Holding on to your life

There are treasures that I have possessed
Meant the world to me
But they never fill the emptiness
I needed something more than these

In the middle of my wilderness
God reached down to me
When I let go to His tenderness
I found His love was more than I ever dreamed

So don't go wastin' your time
Holding on to your life
Just lay it all on the line
Gotta make up your mind
There can be no more compromise
Just lay it all on the line

It's a matter of surrendering
Every hidden fear
And by letting go of everything
Jesus will meet you there

In the heart of everyone of us
There's a call to faith
Even though we'll never measure up
That's why the Savior, that's why the Savior came


So don't go wastin' your time
Holding on to your life
Just lay it all on the line
Gotta make up your mind
There can be no more compromise
Just lay it all on the line

Gone are the days of holding on
This is the time to surrender
Now is the moment you've got to let it go
Just let go
Just let go

Just let it go now

Don't go wastin', wastin' your time
Gotta make up, make up your mind
There can be no more compromise
Just lay it all on the line


So don't go wastin' your time
Holding on to your life
Just lay it all on the line
Gotta make up your mind
There can be no more compromise
Just lay it all on the line

 

[Hemi-mom]

A LOT LIKE YOU/4HIM

We're living in this world
But are we making a difference
Maybe the salt in us is out of season
They look into our eyes
I wonder what are they seeing
Has Jesus been disguised by our religion

And the nations cry for the real Messiah
"O come and please show us the way"
We say He's already come
And that He's livin' in us
But can He really be found in our lives today

When your words are His words
When your way His way
When your hands are the hands He can use
When your heart's desire is just to be a heart He reaches through
That's when Jesus looks a lot like you
That's when Jesus looks a lot like you

If all this world's a stage
I guess that we are the players
So in this part we play
What are we saying

Do we speak the truth
With the words we're using?
If not, we're just wasting our time
We're on a mission of hope
With every seed that we sow
We've got to seize every moment that passes by

When your words are His words
When your way His way
When your hands are the hands He can use
When your heart's desire is just to be a heart He reaches through
That's when Jesus looks a lot like you
That's when Jesus looks a lot like you


All we are and all we should ever long to be
Is just a vessel just to die
To be fashioned by God's hand
Until all that remains is love

When your words are His words
When your way His way
When your hands are the hands He can use
When your heart's desire is just to be a heart He reaches through
That's when Jesus looks a lot like you
That's when Jesus looks a lot like you

I haven't had a lot of time to post recently but I have truly been inspired and encouraged by the words on this thread that serve to uplift and glorify God and edify the body that is HIS CHURCH!

I am thankful for you and I pray that you all as my brothers and sisters in Christ will be strengthened today in His Love, and committed to the call of service to Him.

THE CENTER OF THE MARK/4HIM

To Love God, love people
That's the center of the mark

In this life some things are bound to change
But one thing remains the same
We all need love

Time goes on, it moves like a hurricane
And through all the wind and rain
We all need love

As this world just keeps on turnin' round and round
There are treasures to be found
If we just let compassion lead the way


Draw back your bow, let love go
Shoot straight for the heart
With all of your might, set you sight
Take aim from the start
To love God, love people
That's the center of the mark

Every day, through what is and is to come
When all has been said and done
We all need love

So Jesus came, a gift from the heart of God
He gave us His life because
We all need love

And the love that death could not keep in the grave
Is alive in us today
So we must live to show the world the way


Draw back your bow, let love go
Shoot straight for the heart
With all of your might, set you sight
Take aim from the start
To love God, love people
That's the center of the mark


For the world is the target
And the arrow is the cross
As we set out on this journey
Lets obey the call from the heart of God
Let us Love at any cost

Draw back you bow let love go....

Draw back your bow, let love go
Shoot straight for the heart
With all of your might, set you sight
Take aim from the start
To love God, love people
That's the center of the mark
