Christian Music

[WillyJ]

I would like to remind everyone that a couple weeks ago the Webmasters clearly asked that the songs posted here be confined to the original topic.

"Christian Music" is a specific genre or catagory of songs; all other types of songs can and should be posted here: Inspirational Music Thread

The same request would be made if someone started a "Beatles Songs" thread and someone insisted on continually posting Barry Manilow lyrics on it-

Thanking all in advance for your coperation . .

 

[EROS]

WILLY, this is a highly DISGRACEFUL development for the DIS. You know and ALL MEMBERS know that people here post freely without always referring to the thread topic. I've never seen posts deleted simply because they didn't specifically address the opening post.......except on this THREAD .

We're talking here about BIGOTRY on the DIS. Yes, there are BIGOTS here, and apparently they have prevailed.

A sad commentary for an otherwise excellent site ......

 

[WillyJ]

I will the let the Webmasters know you have accused them of the being "bigots" Eros; and I'm sure they'll be happy to discuss the issue with you.

 

[EROS]

Thank you......

"I meet little Rosa early in de mornin',
O Jerusalem ! early in de mornin' ;
And I ax her, How you do, my darter?
O Jerusalem ! early in de mornin'.


"I meet my mudder early in de mornin',
O Jerusalem ! &c.
And I ax her, How you do, my mudder?
O Jerusalem ! &c.


"I meet Budder Robert early in de mornin'
O Jerusalem ! &c.
And I ax him, How you do, my sonny?
O Jerusalem ! &c.


"I meet Tittawisa early in de mornin',
O Jerusalem ! &c.
And I ax her, how you do, my darter?
O Jerusalem !" &c.

I was just listening to this song and I thought I would share it.

No Doubt
by Petra

There are times when you feel like you can't go on
There are times when you feel like giving in
And there are times when you feel like you can't try anymore
There are times of trouble in believing
This test of your faith will last
As long as it takes to pass
Till you have no more doubt you'll endure
And you faith will emerge true and pure

No doubt it'll be alright
With God it'll all work together for good
No doubt in the end it will be understood
No doubt it'll all work out
With faith He can move any mountain for us
No doubt in the power of Jesus
And after all is done we find out
All we really need to have is no doubt

There's a time to take a reckless leap of faith
There's a time to be cautious and wait
And there's a way of learning from the past
That this time of trouble won't last
And sometimes we want to think we know
The ways He will choose to make us grow
But it's never the way of our choosing
And we can't always see what He's using

There will be winters in the seasons of our soul
With a cold and bitter wind that chills our lives
But our faith can be building a fire
That will warm us till spring time arrives

[becka]

Thanks for the welcome back...I really should try to stop by more often.

I really feel like singing today so I hope you don't mind if I share a few more of the songs I have been listening to this afternoon.

Jesus Freak
by dc Talk


Separated, I cut myself clean
From a past that comes back in my darkest of dreams
Been apprehended by a spiritual force
And a grace that replaced all the me I've divorced

I saw a man with tat on his big fat belly
It wiggled around like marmalade jelly
It took me a while to catch what it said
Cause I had to match the rhythm
Of his belly with my head
'Jesus Saves' is what it raved in a typical tattoo green
He stood on a box in the middle of the city
And claimed he had a dream

What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth

Kamikaze, my death is gain
I've been marked by my Maker
A peculiar display
The high and lofty, they see me as weak
Cause I won't live and die for the power they seek

There was a man from the desert with naps in his head
The sand that he walked was also his bed
The words that he spoke made the people assume
There wasn't too much left in the upper room
With skins on his back and hair on his face
They thought he was strange by the locusts he ate
The Pharisees tripped when they heard him speak
Until the king took the head of this Jesus freak

What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth

What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth

People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger
People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger

What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth

What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth

What will people think
[What will people think]
What will people do
[What will people do]
I don't really care
[What else can I say]
There ain't no disguising the truth
[Jesus is the way]

Sing your heart out girl! I love it!

Steady On
Point of Grace


Kicking up dust
Heaven or bust
We’re headed for the promised land
Since the moment we believed, we’ve been eager to leave
Like a child tugging daddy’s hand

May we never forget that patience is a virtue
Calm our anxious feet so faithful hands can serve you, Lord

We run on up ahead, we lag behind You
It’s hard to wait when heaven’s on our minds
Teach our restless feet to walk beside You
'Cause in our hearts we’re already gone
Will you walk with us
Steady On

We want to walk a while
We know that every mile is bring us closer home
We want to tell the story
Of sinners bound for glory and turn to find we’re not alone

When we walk in Your light the lost will see You better
As the narrow road gets crowded Lord won’t you lead us
Steady On

We run on up ahead, we lag behind You
It’s hard to wait when heaven’s on our minds
Teach our restless feet to walk beside You
'Cause in our hearts we’re already gone
Will you walk with us
Steady On

Steady me, when the road of faith gets rocky
Oh ready me, for fears I cannot see
Lord won’t you let me be a witness to your promise
Won’t you steady me

We run on up ahead, we lag behind You
It’s hard to wait when heaven’s on our minds
Teach our restless feet to walk beside You
'Cause in our hearts we’re already gone
Will you walk with us
Steady On

The Anchor Holds
Ray Boltz

I have journeyed
Through the long dark night
Out on the open sea
By faith alone
Sight unknown
And yet His eyes were watching me

The anchor holds
Though the ship is battered
The anchor holds
Though the sails are torn
I have fallen on my knees
As I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds
In spite of the storm

I’ve had visions
I’ve had dreams
I’ve even held them in my hand
But I never knew
They would slip right through
Like they were only grains of sand

The anchor holds
Though the ship is battered
The anchor holds
Though the sails are torn
I have fallen on my knees
As I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds
In spite of the storm

I have been young
But I am older now
And there has been beauty these eyes have seen
But it was in the night
Through the storms of my life
Oh, that’s where God proved
His love to me

The anchor holds
Though the ship is battered
The anchor holds
Though the sails are torn
I have fallen on my knees
As I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds
In spite of the storm

"Jesus call you. Go in de wilderness,
Go in de wilderness, go in de wilderness,
Jesus call you. Go in de wilderness
To wait upon de Lord.
Go wait upon do Lord,
Go wait upon de Lord,
Go wait upon de Lord, my God,
He take away de sins of de world.


"Jesus a-waitin'. Go in de wilderness,
Go, &c.
All dem chil'en go in de wilderness
To wait upon de Lord."

 

[EROS]

"O, blow your trumpet, Gabriel,
Blow your trumpet louder ;
And I want dat trumpet to blow me home
To my new Jerusalem.


"De prettiest ting dat ever I done
Was to serve de Lord when I was young.
So blow your trumpet, Gabriel, &c.


"O, Satan is a liar, and he conjure too,
And if you don't mind, he 'll conjure you.
So blow your trumpet, Gabriel, &c.


"O, I was lost in de wilderness,
King Jesus hand me de candle down.
So blow your trumpet, Gabriel," &c.

A busy afternoon here on this sleepy little thread. Willy and Pete, nice to see you and thanks for stopping by. Becka, so nice to see you here with some very nice songs, please stop by often.

Favorite Song of All

He loves to hear the wind sing
As it echoes through the pines on mountain peaks
He loves to hear the raindrops
As they splash to the ground in a magic melody
He smiles in sweet approval
As the waves crash to the rocks in harmony
Creation joins in unity to sing to Him majestic symphonies

But His favorite song of all
is the song of the redeemed
When lost sinners now made clean lift their voices loud and strong
When those purchased by His blood
lift to Him a song of love
Nothing more He'd rather hear, nor so pleasing to His ear
As His favorite song of all

He loves to hear the angels as they sing, "Holy, holy is the Lamb"
Heaven's choirs in harmony lift up praises to the great I Am
But He lifts His hands for silence
When the weakest saved by grace begins to sing
And a million angels listen as a newborn soul
sings, "I have been redeemed"

repeat chorus

It's not just melodies and harmonies that catches his attention
It's not just clever lines and phrases that causes Him to
stop and listen
But when any heart set free, washed and bought by Calvary
begins to sing

repeat chorus

--Dan Dean

"In de mornin',
In de mornin',
Chil'en? Yes, my Lord !
Don't you hear de trumpet sound?
If I had a-died when I was young,
I never would had de race for run.
Don't you hear de trumpet sound?


"O Sam and Peter was fishin' in de sea,
And dey drop de net and follow my Lord.
Don't you hear de trumpet sound?


"Dere 's a silver spade for to dig my grave
And a golden chain for to let me down.
Don't you hear de trumpet sound?
In de mornin',
In de mornin',
Chil'en ? Yes, my Lord !
Don't you hear de trumpet sound?"

Speechless
Steven Curtis Chapman


Words fall like drops of rain
My lips are like clouds
I say so many things
Trying to figure You out
But as mercy opens my eyes
My words are stolen away
With this breathtaking view of Your grace

And I am speechless
I'm astonished and amazed
I am silenced by Your wondrous grace
You have saved me
You have raised me from the grave
And I am speechless in Your presence now
I'm astounded as I consider how
You have shown us
A love that leaves us speechless

So what kind of love could this be
That would trade heaven's throne for a cross
And to think You still celebrate
Over finding just one who was lost
And to know You rejoice over us
The God of this whole universe
It's a story that's too great for words

And I am speechless
I'm astonished and amazed
I am silenced by Your wondrous grace
You have saved me
You have raised me from the grave
And I am speechless in Your presence now
I'm astounded as I consider how
You have shown us
A love that leaves us speechless

Oh, how great is the love
The Father has lavished upon us
That we should be called
The sons and the daughters of God

And I am speechless
I'm astonished and amazed
I am silenced by Your wondrous grace
You have saved me
You have raised me from the grave
And I am speechless in Your presence now
I'm astounded as I consider how
You have shown us
A love that leaves us speechless

We are speechless, so amazed
(We stand in awe of Your grace)
(We stand in awe of Your mercy)
You have saved us
(We stand in awe of Your love)
From the grave
(We are speechless)
We are speechless in Your presences now
(We stand in awe of Your cross)
We're astounded as we consider how
(We stand in awe of Your power)
You have shown us
A love that leaves us speechless
(We are speechless)

I am speechless

Get Down
Audio Adrenaline


Lavishly our lives are wasted
Humbleness is left untasted
You can't live your life to please yourself, yeah
That's a tip from my mistakes
Exactly what it doesn't take
To win you've got to come in last place
To live your life you've got to lose it
And all the losers get a crown

I get down and He lifts me up
I get down and He lifts me up
I get down and He lifts me up
I get down

All I need's another day
Where I can't seem to get away
From the many things that drag me down
I'm sure you've had a day like me
Where nothing seems to set you free
From the burdens you can't carry all alone
In your weakness He is stronger
In your darkness He shines through
When you're crying He's your comfort
When you're all alone He's carrying you

I get down and He lifts me up
I get down and He lifts me up
I get down and He lifts me up
I get down

This valley is so deep
I can barely see the sun
I cry out for mercy, Lord
You lift me up again

I get down and He lifts me up
I get down and He lifts me up
I get down and He lifts me up
I get down

Love Song For A Savior
Jars of Clay


In open fields of wild flowers
She breathes the air and flies away
She thanks her Jesus for the daisies
And the roses in no simple language
Someday she'll understand
The meaning of it all

He's more than the laughter
Or the stars in the heaven
As close as a heartbeat
Or song on her lips
Someday she'll trust Him
And learn how to see Him
Someday He'll call her
And she will come running
She fall in His arms
The tears will fall down
And she'll pray

I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You

Sitting silent wearing Sunday best
The sermon echoes through the walls
A great salvation through it
Calls to the people
Who stare into nowhere
And can't feel the chains on their souls

He's more than the laughter
Or the stars in the heaven
As close as a heartbeat
Or song on her lips
Someday we'll trust Him
And learn how to see Him
Someday He'll call us
And we will come running
We'll fall in His arms
The tears will fall down
And we'll pray

I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You

We want to pray

la la la .............

It seems to easy to call You 'Savior'
Not close enough to call You 'God'
So as I sit and think of
The words I can mention
To show my devotion

I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You
