Just to clarify...I do "LOVE" Brittany Spears and wish to see her, (as Michelle's PRIMS stated), "saved and dressed properly"... AND (I'll go one step further)...preaching the WORD in song, (because stranger events have happened and "All things are possible with God")!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How much do I need God? He is truly all I have that is of any worth. He is All, and the only HOPE I can offer to my children. He is the only thing of significance in my daily living. Without Him, all of my efforts in my work, my marriage, my parenting, my family life, my friendships, my giving...are in vain. As I grow, I see more and more, my need for less of me and more of You, Lord Jesus.
If I'm sounding down-hearted, and kind of hopeless, I would have to say that "sweet surrender" is the most hope-filled, peaceful place there is.
Because His grace is eternal, I am standing today.

Grace By Which I Stand/Keith Green
Oh....oh, Oh! Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Lord the feelings are not the same
I guess I'm older
I guess I've changed
And how I wish it had been explained
That as your growing you must remember...
Nothing lasts
except the grace of God by which I stand in Jesus
I know that I would surely fall away except for grace by which I'm saved
Oh....oh, Oh! Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Lord, I remember that special way I vowed to serve you when it was brand new
But like Peter, sometimes I can't even watch and pray one hour with You
And I'll bet, I could deny You too!
Nothing lasts
except the grace of God by which I stand in Jesus
I'm sure that my whole life would waste away except for Grace by which I'm saved
Oh....oh, Oh! Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Well, nothing lasts
except the grace of God by which I stand in Jesus
I know that I would surely fall away except for grace by which I'm saved
Ooo...Ooo, Ooo, Ooo! Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh....oh, Oh! Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Lord, Move, or Move Me/FFH
I can't find the words to pray
I'm a little down today
Can You help me? Can You hold me?
I feel a million miles away
And I don't know what to say
Can You hear me anyway?
What I need is for You to reach out Your hand
You have taught me, no matter what, You'd understand
Lord, move in a way that I've never seen before
Cause, there's a mountain in the way and a lock on the door
I'm drifting away, waves are crashing on the shore
So Lord, Move, Move,
Or move me
I've looked everywhere to find a simple peace of mind
I can't find nothing on my own
So I gotta leave myself behind
Take up this cross of mine
Give away everything I hold onto
Lord, I know the only way is through this
Lord, I know I need You to help me do this
Lord, move in a way that I've never seen before
Cause, there's a mountain in the way and a lock on the door
I'm drifting away, waves are crashing on the shore
So Lord, Move, Move,
Or move me
Out of this place of complacency
to a place of fellowship with thee
'Cause I am weak, but Lord, You are SO STRONG
And you know, It's been way too long
Lord, move in the way that I've never seen before
Cause, there's a mountain in the way and a lock on the door
I'm drifting away, waves are crashing on the shore
So Lord, Move,
M O V E,
Or move me

On My Cross/FFH
How wide is Your love that You would stretch Your arms and go around the world
And why, for me, would a Savior's cry be heard?
I don't know why You went where I was meant to go
I don't know why You love me so
Those were my nails
That was my crown that pierced Your hands and Your brow
Those were my throns
those were my scorns
those were my tears that fell down
And just as You said it would be
You did it all for me
And after You counted the cost
You took my shame, my blame,
On my cross
How deep is Your grace
That you could see my need and choose to take my place
And then, for me, these words I'd hear You say,
"Father, no, Forgive them for they know not what they do.
I will go because I love them so."
Those were my nails
That was my crown that pierced Your hands and Your brow
Those were my thorns
those were my scorns
those were my tears that fell down
And just as You said it would be
You did it all for me
And after You counted the cost
You took my shame, my blame,
On my cross
{No other fount I know, washes me white as snow
No other fount I know, Nothing but the blood of Jesus}
Those were my nails
That was my crown that pierced Your hands and Your brow
Those were my thorns
those were my scorns
those were my tears that fell down
And just as You said it would be
You did it all for me
And after You counted the cost...
You took MY shame, MY blame,
On MY cross

Surrender/ 4HIM
I could hold on to who I am
And never let go and find Your heart
But what would I gain?
My life would be in vain
I could head down a thousands roads
Just going my way out on my own
But I wouldn't get far
'Cause I need You more than anything
More, and More than the air I breathe
I lift my hands
I lift my heart
I'm letting go
falling into You
I lift my hands ( all that I am I give to You)
I lift my heart (I surrender)
I'm letting go
falling into You
I surrender
You are the maker of all things
The giver of all I'll ever need
And I'm so amazed
You would live inside of me
Come and live inside of me
I lift my hands
I lift my heart
I'm letting go
falling into You
I lift my hands ( all that I am I give to You)
I lift my heart (I surrender)
I'm letting go
falling into You
I surrender
Mold and make me with Your fire
And consume me with Your love until Your will is my desire
All that I have and hold onto (Surrender)
All that I am I give to You...I GIVE TO YOU! (Surrender)
I lift my hands
I lift my heart
I'm letting go
falling into You
I lift my hands ( all that I am and alll that I have)
I lift my heart (I surrender)
I'm letting go
falling into You
I surrender

Much/ Ten Shekel Shirt
I come to Your feet and weep
Remembering how You've changed me
I kneel at Your feet humbly
I pour out my love and my thanks
I am the one who's been forgiven much
I am the one who loves much
I sit at Your feet in peace
Sensing a smile over me
I'm here at Your feet gladly
Giving my love and my thanks
I am the one who's been forgiven much
I am the one who loves much
I am the one who's been forgiven much
I am the one who loves YOU much
I'm forgiven!
