Christian Music

[Hemi-mom]

Michelle, This song,I had posted last Fall because I heard it on the T/TH time warp Lunch hour and I actually remembered all of the words from then...otherwise I wouldn't have remembered it all from back in the early 90's when Harvest used to to be heard singing it EVERYDAY on the radio!!! Ok... also I have it somewhere, either on a tape or on a background tape, (because I remember singing it at Dan's church for special music before we were married ), but I can't for the life of me find it. I searched it out on the web to no avail...so I guess we'll just have to trust for now that my memory is in tact and all of these lyrics are at least close to accurate...

All That Is In Me/Harvest

It’s not often I feel like lifting my hands in worship
It’s not often I feel like singing a song of joy
But I’m often reminded of His ways and how He’s so faithful
So I’ll offer Him a sacrifice of Praise

All that is in me, all that I am
There’s nothing I withhold from Him
All that is in me, All that I am
Will glorify the Lamb

It’s not often enough my heart and spirit are broken
It’s not often enough He finds me on my knees
But so often He comes with His cleansing love and forgives me
So I’ll offer Him a sacrifice of Praise

All that is in me, all that I am
There’s nothing I withhold from Him
All that is in me, All that I am
Will glorify the Lamb

It’s not often enough I see Him through all He’s given
It’s not often enough I seek Him in His Word
But so often I stand amazed that I’m who He’s chosen
So I’ll offer Him a sacrifice of Praise

All that is in me, all that I am
There’s nothing I withhold from Him
All that is in me, All that I am
Will glorify the Lamb

ALLLLLL that is in me, all that I am
There’s nothing I withhold from Him
All that is in me, All that I am
Will glorify the Lamb

All that is in me, all that I am
There’s nothing I withhold from Him
All that is in me, All that I am
Will glorify the Lamb


God alone brought that back to me today as I wracked my brain!

Now, would someone please sing the song, In Not Of by Avalon?? I am sorry to say that as much as I love this group and hear them on the radio all the time, I own NONE of their albums. Which one would you all recommend?

Bye byeeeeeeee!

 

[Princess Michelle]

Thanks so much Jill! I used to love Harvest but I was young when they were popular so I don't have any of their albums. I have all of Avalon's albums except the latest one and my favorite is A Maze Of Grace. The song you requested is on In A Different Light which is also really good I just like the other one best because there isn't a song on it that I would skip. That's how I judge if it's a good cd or not.

In Not Of/Avalon

I hide me far away from trouble
The world outside me grows darker by the day
So I promise to stay here close beside You
Surely God would want His children safe
Then in reading, how my eyes were opened
I find that He is leading us out into the world
Into the middle of fallen saints and sinners
Where a little grace is needed most
Come take the Light to darker parts
Share His truth with hardened hearts
We are not like the world, but we can love it
Come bring the hope to hopeless men
Until the lost are found in Him
He came to save the world so let us be. . .

In it, not of it
Wait a minute
If we say we love them, why are we not in it

Why we run and hide
Entertain a stranger
Maybe entertain an angel
The danger is if our worlds don't collide
We've cursed the darkness far too long
We need to hold the candle high
We have to go and right the wrongs
We need to touch the world with love

 

[Princess Michelle]

I think this song is going to become my anthem...

The River/Carman

It doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter where you've been
It doesn't matter what the scar
It doesn't matter what the sin
It doesn't matter how you fell
Somewhere along the way
There is healing for your life today

There's a river that flows
From the fountain of God
And it heals everything along the way
I have tasted and know
That for every broken heart
There is healing in Jesus' name

He looks beyond how far you've gone
He looks beyond when you were hurt
He looks beyond who stole your song
He looks beyond what made it worse
He looks beyond where others failed
To reach out to you and say
There's healing for your life today

There's a river that flows
From the fountain of God
And it heals everything along the way
I have tasted and know
That for every broken heart
There is healing in Jesus' name

It's a river that loves
It's a river that lives
It's the river of life
Living water it gives

There's a river that flows
From the fountain of God
And it heals everything along the way
I have tasted and know
That for every broken heart
There is healing in Jesus' name

Michelle, I love that song!

Raining on the Inside/AmyGrant

When all goodbyes are said and done.
And nighttime finds you home,
Are you alright to spend a night
Of being all alone?
Or do you hide between the lines
Of conversations past?
A wall of words, a heart unheard.
That hides behind a mask.

I'm raining on the inside
My heart wells up with tears that start to pour.
I'm raining on the inside.
But Your cries of love break through
And I fall in love with You once more.

When friends who care can't be there
To ease away my pain,
And peace of mind is hard to find
Like sunlight in the rain,
God sees my heart, the deepest part
Inside this lonely me
And reachin' in, His love begins
To heal the heart in me.

I'm raining on the inside
My heart wells up with tears that start to pour.
I'm raining on the inside.
But Your cries of love break through
And I fall in love with You once more.

Friend of a Wounded Heart/Wayne Watson

Smile--Make 'em think you're happy
Lie--And say that things are fine
And hide that empty longing that you feel
Don't ever show it
Just keep your heart concealed

Why--Are the days so lonely
Where can a heart go free
And who will dry the tears that no one's seen
There must be someone
To share your silent dreams

Caught like a leaf in the wind
Lookin' for a friend-
Where can you turn
Whisper the words of a prayer-
And you'll find Him there
Arms open wide--Love in His eyes

Jesus--He meets you where you are
Jesus--He heals you secret scars
All the love you're longing for is
Jesus--The friend of a wounded heart

Joy, comes like the morning
And hope deepens as it grows
And peace, beyond the reaches of your soul
Comes flowing from you
For love has made you whole

Once like a leaf in the wind
Lookin' for a friend-
Where could you turn
You whispered the words of a prayer-
And you found Him there
Arms open wide--Love in His eyes

Jesus--He meets you where you are
Jesus--He heals you secret scars
All the love you're longing for is
Jesus--The friend of a wounded heart

Peace, Peace
Wonderful peace
Flowing down from the Father above
Sweep over my spirit forever I pray
With fathomelss billows of love

Peace, Peace

<B>Quiet You With My Love</B> by Rebecca St. James

Come to Me
All who are weary
And I will give you rest
Come to Me
All who are weary
And I will give you rest

Lay your head down on my shoulders
Be still my child, rest a while
I'll quiet you with my love
Rejoice over you with my song
I'll quiet you with my love
Rejoice over you with my song

Come to me
All who are weary
And take my yoke upon you
Come to me
All who are weary
My burden is easy and light
Lay your head down on my shoulders
Be still my child, rest a while

Lay your head down on my shoulders
Be still my child, rest a while
I'll quiet you with my love
Rejoice over you with my song
I'll quiet you with my love
Rejoice over you with my song

Jesus Lover of my soul
All consuming fire is in Your gaze
Jesus I want You to know
I will worship You all my days
For no one else in history is like You
And history itself belongs to You
Alpha and Omega You have loved me
And I will spend eternity with You

It's all about You Jesus
And all this is for You
For Your glory and Your fame
It's not about me
As if You should do things my way
You alone are God and I surrender to Your way</Font>

 

[Princess Michelle]

Got to let it Go/Amy Grant

All my lifetime plans
Got' em in my hands
Balancing my fate upon a wire.
Got to let it go.
Everywhere I turn I see
There's nowhere left to go.
All my dreams are far
Too much for me to hold.
Still I hate to drop them.
Weren't they from you?
What did I do?
You alone can see
Into the heart of me.
Am I really givin' up tomorrow?

Got to let it go.
This is gonna hurt a little,
Still it's right I know.
Even though I fear
Too much of me might show.
I can't wait any longer for it.
I've had enough.
I'll give it up.

Lord, here's my heart, I've been keepin' it from you
And I've got to let it go.
Holdin' on just brings me worry.
Got to let it go.
Come and take it from me, hurry.
Got to let it go.
Got to let it go.
Got to give up all of my control.

Holdin' on too tight.
Where did I lose sight?
Where's the line that seems to bring frustration?

Got to let it go.
The best of dreams can turn to nightmares
When my heart takes hold.
How long must I learn?
This lesson's getting old.
I've got to catch a clearer vision.
I'm in your hand.
You're in command.

Lord, here's my heart, I've been keepin' it from you
And I've got to let it go.
Holdin' on just brings me worry.
Got to let it go.
Come and take it from me, hurry.
Got to let it go.
Got to let it go.
Got to give up all of my control.

 

[Princess Michelle]

You mean Amy Grant was alive way back then?

 

[JC2]

Um, I would tell you to shut up, but we don't use words like that in this house ()

Yes, and she had some aaaawwwwsome tunes!! My fav back then!!!

 

[Princess Michelle]

Arms of Love/Amy Grant

Lord, I'm really glad you're here.
Hope You feel the same
When You see all my fear
And how I fail.
I fall sometimes.
It's hard to walk in shifting sand.
I miss the rock and find
I've nowhere left to stand.
I start to cry
Lord, please help me.
Raise my hand, so You can pick me up.
Hold me close, hold me tighter.

I have found a place where I can hide.
It's safe inside
Your arms of love.
Like a child who's held throughout a storm,
You keep me warm
In Your arms of love.

Storms will come and storms will go
Wonder just how many storms
It takes until I finally know.
You're here always.
Even when my skies are far from gray,
I can stay.
Teach me to stay there.

I have found a place where I can hide.
It's safe inside
Your arms of love.
Like a child who's held throughout a storm,
You keep me warm
In Your arms of love.

 

[Princess Michelle]

Yeah, her old stuff was great, probably because MWS wrote most of it...

 

[JC2]

LOL

Hard to believe MWS once played piano for AG!
He's just an awesome musician/worshiper!

 

[Princess Michelle]

There Will Never Be Another/Amy Grant

There will never be another who will love me like You
There will never be another who could hold me, mold me
There will never be another who could love me purely
No there will never be another who has loved me like You.
And I know that there will never be another love
Who could ever be the love that You are

Cause You had so much to lose but still You gave it up for Your scars-
But that's the way you are.
And if I spent my life attending universities,
Educated in the wisdom of men
And if I could even quote a guy like Socrates, even then I couldn't comprehend.

There will never be another who will love me like You
There will never be another who could hold me, mold me
There will never be another who could love me purely
No there will never be another who has loved me like You.
And I know that there will never be another love
Who could ever be the love that You are

And I know I'll never understand this mystery
If I live to be a hundred and three
How You died to live the love You give to me

There will never be another who will love me like You
There will never be another who could hold me, mold me
There will never be another who could love me purely
No there will never be another who has loved me like You.
And I know that there will never be another love
Who could ever be the love that You are

There will never be another who has loved me like You.

 

[Princess Michelle]

Don't Give Up On Me/Amy Grant

Don't give up on me
Though I know at times it's hard to see
All my many weaknesses might blind you
I must remind you.
Don't give up on me
Even when I act so selfish
All my views are all I see
yes I know there's still so much of me
But God is working constantly to shape me
He'll remake me.

Don't give up on me I'm gonna make it
I know it's hard for you to see
Don't give up on me I couldn't take it
If a part of me should keep you from seeing
The part of me that should start you believing
I'm changing so please don't give up on me.

Don't give up on me
Even when I fail so miserably
Time and again I know I stumble
It makes me humble
Don't give up on me
But never let your love begin to be
Hanging on the things you see
Counting all the times I fail to be
Everything you want from me
I'm trying
Hear me crying.

Don't give up on me I'm gonna make it
I know it's hard for you to see
Don't give up on me I couldn't take it
If a part of me should keep you from seeing
The part of me that should start you believing
I'm changing so please don't give up on me.

I know much more than you
How very weak I am.
But He believes in me
And so I know you can
When all my views are all I see
Then I know there's still so much of me
But God is working constantly to shape me
He'll remake me.

All I Ever Have To Be/Amy Grant

When the weight of all my dreams
Is resting heavy on my head
And the thoughtful words of help and hope
Have all been nicely said
But I'm still hurting, wondering if I'll ever be the one
I think I am--I think I am.

Then you gently re-remind me
That You've made me from the first
And the more I try to be the best
The more I get the worst.
And I realize the good in me is only there because of who You are, who You are.

And all I ever have to be is what You've made me
Any more or less would be a step out of Your plan
As you daily recreate me help me always keep in mind
That I only have to do what I can find
And all I ever have to be
All I have to be
All I ever have to be is what You've made me
