Nice to see you again, CRB.

Living For You

There was a time when I'd believe in anything by You
I closed my eyes and let You in
Ready to let my life begin
It just hit, couldn't ignore it
Heard Your voice calling now I know it

I wanna see Your face
I wanna speak Your name
I wanna tell the whole world how my life has changed
I'm gonna lift my voice
Ever to sing Your praise
As long as I'm alive know that I
I'm living for You

Lord, here I stand before You now
I want to give You everything
No matter what may come my way
You give me a smile they can't take away
Holding onto all You brought me through
You're the strength that I'll always cling to

repeat chorus

Some may question what is right
In my heart I can't deny
Once I was blind but now I see
You have my soul and I am Yours for eternity

Oh, Lord, I wanna see Your face
I always wanna sing Your praise
I wanna be the first to say
Forever I'm living for only You

Oh, Babylon’s falling, falling, falling

Oh, Babylon’s falling, falling, falling
Babylon’s falling to rise no more

[Dan Murphy]

Hey, Chip, nice to see you. Hope to see you often. You are missed.

 

[EROS]

Nice to have you back, Chipperdini..........sorry that the censor squad deleted my post to you

Before I’d be a slave
I’d be buried in my grave
And go home to my Lord
And be saved

O, what preachin’!
O, what preachin’!
O, what preachin’ over me, over me

O, what mourning…

O, what singing…

O, what shouting…

O, weeping Mary…

Doubting Thomas…

O, what sighing

O, Freedom…

BREATH OF HEAVEN (Mary's Song)

I have traveled many moonless nights,
Cold and weary with a babe inside.
And I wonder what I've done
Holy Father You have come
And chosen me now
To carry Your Son.

I am waiting in a silent prayer
I am frightened by the load I bear
In a world as cold as stone,
Must I walk this path alone?

Be with me now,
Be with me now

Breath of Heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me.

Breath of Heaven
Breath of Heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me Your holiness
For you are Holy.
Breath of Heaven.

Do You wonder as You watch my face
If a wiser one should have had my place?
But I offer all I am
For the mercy of your plan.
Help me be strong.
Help me be
Help me.

Breath of Heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me.

Breath of Heaven
Breath of Heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me Your holiness
For you are Holy.
Breath of Heaven.

Hi sm! Thanks for sharing those scripture references with us! Good to see you!

CRB, I absolutely love Breath of Heaven! So beautiful!!

Sounds of laughter, here comes sunshine, smiling faces all around.
They possess you, bless you, sunshine, now you can never let them down, I say sunshine.

Sunshine, sunshine, is that a cloud across your smile or did you dream again last night?
It's best you rest inside a while as blue doesn't seem to suit you right.

Things ain't what they used to be, pain and rain and misery.
Illness in the family and sunshine means a lot to me, I say sunshine.

But could it be Sunshine is drifting with midnight and lonely when everyone's gone?
Blue crystal spirits and gardens in moonlight
leave weak alone and bleak all quiet and grey by dawn.

Sunshine, sunshine rising to late to chase the cold and failing to change the frost to dew.
She's trading her mood of yellow gold for frost bitten shades of silver-blue.

Friends and lovers past and gone and no one waiting further on,
I'm running short of things to be and sunshine means quiet a lot to me, I say sunshine.
Sunshine, sunshine…

In Christ Alone

In Christ Alone my heart is found
He is my light my strength my song
This cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My comforter, my all in all,
Here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ Alone! - who took on flesh,
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness,
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground his body lay,
Light of the world by darkness slain:
then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
And as he stands in victory
Sins curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His, and he is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final death
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from his hand,
Till he returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.


Jennifer, I know you said you liked the words to this one a while back. I love this one as it goes through the whole life of Christ and all that we have through HIM!!!

Something's wrong, that restless feeling's been preying on your mind.
Road maps in a well-cracked ceiling, the signs aren't hard to find.
Now I'm not saying that you've been mistreated,
no one's hurt you, nothing's wrong. A moment's rest was all you needed,
So pack your things and kindly move along.

Like dust in the wind you're gone forever.
You're wind-blown leaves, you're a change in the weather.
Just a town like any other, a second brand new start.
A third or fourth hand, wife or lover, no, you won't break her heart.
Take some bacon, go on and leave your watch chain,
She won't count on nothing more.
Wrap your hands around that small change and tiptoe barefoot out the door.

Yes, something's wrong, that restless feeling's been preying on my mind.
When things get bad I'm bound to pack my bags and just leave them all behind.

I don't have ill feelings toward Santa...I just don't like when anything at Christmas takes away from the glory of God's incarnation. My kids like the fantasy of Santa but they do also know who he is... I would much rather have them KNOW of the One who offers them so much more. Santa can be a cool dude...but relatively speaking, standing beside the Prince of Peace he pales in comparison. I love this poem...

Jesus -VS -Santa
Santa lives at the North Pole...
JESUS is everywhere.
Santa rides in a sleigh...
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.
Santa fills your stockings with goodies...
JESUS supplies all your needs.
Santa comes down your chimney uninvited...
JESUS stands at your door and knocks, and then enters your heart when invited.
You have to wait in line to see Santa...
JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.
Santa lets you sit on his lap...
JESUS lets you rest in His arms.
Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, what's your name?"...
JESUS knew our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our head.
Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly...
JESUS has a heart full of love.
Santa can offer you a HO HO HO...
JESUS offers health, help and hope.
Santa says, "You'd better not pout, you'd better not cry,"...
JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me, for I care for you."
Santa's little helpers make toys...
JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions.
Santa may make you chuckle but...
JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.
While Santa puts gifts under your tree...
JESUS became our gift and died on a tree.

Very interesting, Jilly.

O Holy Night

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining;
It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.

Refrain

Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here came the wise men from Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,
In all our trials born to be our friend!

Refrain

Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His Gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His Name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy Name!

--lyrics, Placide Clappeau, music, Adolphe Charles Adam

Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh so mellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain so yellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a young and a callow fellow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow ( follow ) follow ( follow ) follow...

Try to remember when life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow
Try to remember when life was so tender
That dreams were kept beside your pillow
Try to remember when life was so tender
That love was an ember about to billow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow ( follow ) follow ( follow ) follow...

Deep in December it's nice to remember
Although you know the snow will follow
Deep in December it's nice to remember
Without a hurt, the heart is hollow
Deep in December it's nice to remember
The fire of September that made you mellow
Deep in December our hearts should remember
Then follow ( follow ) follow ( follow ) follow...

Jilly, I had never read that before. I am going to print that out for DD. Hunter will like that. That was a very good way to put it.

There are some great thoughts, songs and emergency numbers were cool too!

"I wants to go where Moses trod,
O de dying Lamb !
For Moses gone to de promised land,
O de dying Lamb !
To drink from springs dat never run dry,
O, &c.
Cry O my Lord !
O, &c.
Before I 'll stay in hell one day,
O, &c.
I 'm in hopes to pray my sins away,
O, &c.
Cry O my Lord !
O, &c.
Brudder Moses promised for be dar too,
O &c.
To drink from streams dat never run dry,
O de dying Lamb ! "

That says quite a lot Jilly. Thank you.

Mary, Did You Know?

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would save our sons and daughters?

Did you know that your baby boy
Has come to make you new?
This Child that you delivered
Will soon deliver you?

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will give sight to the blind man?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would calm a storm with His hand?

Did you know that your baby boy
has walked where angels trod,
And when you kiss your little baby,
You've kissed the face of God?

Oh Mary, did you know?
Oh Mary, did you know?

The blind will see,
The deaf will hear,
The dead will live again,
The lame will leap,
The dumb will speak,
The praises of the Lamb!

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will one day rule the nations?

Did you know that your baby boy
Was Heaaven's perfect Lamb,
And the sleeping Child you're holding
Is the Great I AM?

Morning, sing me a song, afternoon, bring it along, nighttime, show me a friend,
say it again, send a good dream my way.

Wednesday, feeling just fine, I got to say time on my hands. Friday, look at them run,
show me some fun, taking the sunshine in.

God knows you've got to give yourself time to think these days,
Lord knows you've got to take enough, time to look both ways, the pieces fly by so quickly now.

Laura, look at you walk, I swear you've got eyes in my head.
I'd like to follow you down, show you around, borrow the crown you wear.

Bacon, lie on the plate, two black-eyed peas wait on the side.
Gravy, chicken and rice, isn't it nice? Tell me the price of the food.

What happens when the answers they give you aren't good enough?
What happens when it rains for eight days on your week off?
You know you can't buy tomorrow, no, it's all a matter of opening up your eyes.
And looking around cause it's all there, it's all there, I said taking the sunshine in.
