<Font color="deeppink">
On bended knee I come
With a humble heart I come
Bowing down before Your holy throne
Lifting holy hands to You
As I pledge my love anew
I worship You in spirit
I worship You in truth
Make my life a holy praise unto You

Oh Jesus, make my life a holy praise unto You</Font>

 

[Dan Murphy]

Heaven's on My Mind

You see a change
I'm not the same
You may ask me why I smile
Don't think that I live in denial
Well, lyin' that's just not my style
I'm telling the truth

If you see the light inside my eyes
I can't contain this inner peace
It's welling up inside of me
If you knew Him then you'd agree
And love Him too
Just the way I do

So glad to know
I'm gonna see my God in heaven
So good to be assured of my home
And if you need to know the reason why I shine
It's because heaven
Heaven's on my mind

If you see my life and wonder why
Now only God gives love like this
Surpassing anything you wish
To be a chosen one of His
A dream come true
Let Him reign on you

repeat chorus

They say it's a wonderful world
This world we know
Still I dream of a better place
Our eternal, our eternal, our eternal home

--Cheri Keaggy

God Is With Us
Words and Music by Robert Sterling

A rushing river sweeps around us
Just as dark and cold as night, it surrounds us
But we pass through the water to a safer shore
We're sheltered from the raging river's roar

(Chorus)
Though the night is long
And the river's strong
Still God is with us
We can stem the tide
Reach the other side
For God is with us

The river deepens, night grows darker
And the struggle seems to be getting harder
Today has troubles yesterday has never known
But we don't have to face them on our own

(Repeat Chorus)

And when we face the river's roll
He holds our hand and won't let go

 

[Saphire]

"For I know the plans that I have for you", declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you."

--Jeremiah 29:11-12

 

[EROS]

"I know moon-rise, I know star-rise,
Lay dis body down.
I walk in de moonlight, I walk in de starlight,
To lay dis body down.
I 'll walk in de graveyard, I 'll walk through de graveyard,
To lay dis body down.
I 'll lie in de grave and stretch out my arms ;
Lay dis body down.
I go to de judgment in de evenin' of de day,
When I lay dis body down ;
And my soul and your soul will meet in de day
When I lay dis body down."

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYBODY!!

Saphire...WHAT A GREAT VERSE!!!!!!!!!! It helps get me started out with the RIGHT perspective not just in this New Year, but EVERYDAY! You might say that it's one of those "purpose for living" promises that I discovered some years ago and have been clinging to ever since! Thank You Lord God, for all of the promises and wonderful Words of Life in the Bible! Your WORD is Life and Your Love and Promises endure forever! Thank You, Father, Praise You, Jesus and Glory to You, Holy Spirit!

HAPPY NEW DAY!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GOOD TO ME

I cry out for Your hand of mercy to heal me
I am weak, I need Your love to free me
O Lord, my rock, my strength in weakness
Come rescue me O, Lord

You are my hope
Your promise never fails me
And my desire is to follow You forever

For You are good, for You are good,
for You are good to me!
For You are good, for You are good,
for You are good to me!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Verse 11 is below in my sig. but I wanted to repost verse 12 as a challenge for us in 2003! Seems like an easy enough thing to do. May we all be faithful to our calling to pray because of the security we have and the FUTURE HE HOLDS!!!

"Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you." Jeremiah 29:12

 

[EROS]

Children, go where I send Thee
How will I send Thee,

I’m a-going to send Thee
One by one
As was the little baby born, born in Bethlehem

Two as Paul and Silas

Three as the Hebrew children

Four as the four, who stood at the door

Five as the five Gospel preachers

Six as the six, who never got fixed

Seven as the seven, who went up in heaven

Eight as the eight, who stood at the gates

Nine as the nine, who never went behind

Ten as the ten Commandments

Eleven as the eleven disciples

Twelve as the twelve apostles

 

[Hemi-mom]

Hello EROS. I really like that song. My DS sang that one with his class at his school "Holiday Sing-a-long" before vacation.

 

[EROS]

Thanks, HEMI . Happy New Year to you and yours . I think that the song was an old Negro spiritual.......

Children, we all shall be free
When the Lord shall appear

We want no cowards in our band
That will their colors fly
We call for valiant-hearted men
That are not afraid to die

We see the pilgrim as he lies
With glory in his soul
To heav’n he lifts his longing eyes
And bids this world adieu

Give ease to the sick, give sight to the blind
Enable the cripple to walk
He’ll raise the dead from under the earth
And give the permission to walk

 

[Dan Murphy]

Nice to see you, Jilly, Happy New Year.

You Lift Me Up

Climbing on a cloud, dancing on a daydream
I don't have a doubt just how good this life can be
You lift me up
Running in the rain, singing in the sunshine
Telling all the world why I'm so in love with life
You lift me up

You lift me up, And I'm touching the blue sky
You lift me up, I'm on top of the world
You lift me up, I'm getting closer to heaven
In every little thing I love
You lift me up

Headed for the stars, riding on a moonbeam
Taking me so far, farther than I've ever been
You lift me up

repeat chorus

And it's so crystal clear
I'm in love
All I'll ever want
All I'll ever need is right here

--Chris Eaton and Cindy Morgan

 

[EROS]

Lonely by day, empty and cold, only to say lo and behold.
Deep in the night, down in my dreams, glorious sight this soul has seen.

There's a well on the hill, you just can't kill for Jesus, there's a well on the hill, let it be.
Don't build no heathen temples where the Lord has done laid his hand, now,
there's a well on the hill, let it be

Everyone's talking 'bout the gospel story, some shall sink and some shall rise.
Everyone's talking 'bout the train to glory. Long, long time till it gets here to you, baby.

There's a well on the hill, you just can't kill for Jesus, there's a well on the hill, let it be.
Don't build no heathen temples where the Lord has done laid his hand, now,
there's a well on the hill, let it be

 

[herc]

[EROS]

"O wrestlin' Jacob, Jacob, day 's a-breakin';
I will not let thee go !
O wrestlin' Jacob, Jacob, day 's a-breakin';
He will not let me go !
O, I hold my brudder wid a tremblin' hand ;
I would not let him go !
I hold my sister wid a tremblin' hand ;
I would not let her go !


"O, Jacob do hang from a tremblin' limb,
He would not let him go !
O, Jacob do hang from a tremblin' limb ;
De Lord will bless my soul.
O wrestlin' Jacob, Jacob," &c.

 

[Dan Murphy]

So very nice to see you, herc. Please do stop by more often, we've missed you too. Happy New Year.

 

[EROS]

"De little baby gone home,
De little baby gone home,
De little baby gone along,
For to climb up Jacob's ladder.
And I wish I 'd been dar,
I wish I 'd been dar,
I wish I 'd been dar, my Lord,
For to climb up Jacob's ladder "

 

[Princess Michelle]

Hey herc! I was thinking about you a couple of days ago. Nice to see you again.

 

[EROS]

"O do Lord, remember me !
O do, Lord, remember me !
O, do remember me, until de year roll round !
Do, Lord, remember me !


"If you want to die like Jesus died,
Lay in de grave,
You would fold your arms and close your eyes
And die wid a free good will.


"For Death is a simple ting,
And he go from door to door
And he knock down some, and he cripple up some,
And he leave some here to pray.


"O do, Lord, remember me !
O do, Lord, remember me !
My old fader 's gone till de year roll round ;
Do, Lord, remember me !"

 

[Buckalew]

Hi Herc! You were on my "most missed" list! Hope you and your family are blessed throughout 2003! (And I hope to see you around here some too! )

 

[Lanshark]

Thanks Dan. Happy New Year everyone!

Circle of Friends

We were made to love and be loved
But the price this world demands will cost you far too much
I spent so many years just trying to fit in
Now I've found a place in this circle of friends
In a circle of friends we have one Father
In a circle of friends we share this prayer
That every orphaned soul will know
And all will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends
If you weep, I will weep with you
If you sing for joy the rest of us will lift our voices too
But no matter what you feel inside there's no need to pretend
That's the way it is in this circle of friends
In a circle of friends
We have one father
In a circle of friends we share this prayer
That we'll gather together no matter how the highway bends
I will not lose this circle of friends
Among the nations, tribes and tongues we have sisters and brothers
And when we meet in heaven we will recognize each other
With joy so deep and love so sweet
Oh we'll celebrate these friends
And a life that never ends
In a prayer
That will not be long before
All will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends
That it will not be long before
All will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends

 

[Dan Murphy]

A very nice one, Lanshark.

Touch of Faith

Most live a lifetime and never see
the soul of tomorrow in someone's eyes
Some give up on all of their dreams
one second before they materialize
But love broke through walls of stone
It was You, You alone

You crack the sky like broken glass
You rescued me when my chance had passed
Sometimes things aren't as hard as we may think
Because all we need is just a touch of faith

Some never ever turn a key to the door
of their heart's desires
Too afraid to fall somewhere in between
Tomorrow's fears and the pressure's fire
Your love broke through walls of stone
It was You, it was You alone

repeat chorus

Your touch pushed back the clouds just like the sun
Your hand pulled me out of the hardest time
That I've ever known, that I ever knew
Oh Lord, that was all because I met You
Your love broke through walls of stone
It was You, it was You alone

--Ty Lacy, Johan Aberg, Sigurd Rosnes
