Does anyone have the lyrics to the song To You I Lift Up My Soul? I believe it is by Graham Kendrick and Matt Redmond.

The last week or so Psalm 25 has just been such a special verse to me and then today at work I was listening to the radio. It was Moody radio which is mostly Christian Talk Radio and not too much music but anyway, one of the few songs they played today was this one and I would just love to have the lyrics or know what cd it is on if anyone knows. The lyrics are pretty much Psalm 25 put to music but the arrangement was so pretty.

Hey there, Michelle!
Are these the lyrics?
<Font color="darkblue">
Show me Your ways, O Lord.
Guide me in Your truth and teach me.
Though I may sin, O Lord,
save me in Your love and mercy.

Good and upright is the Lord
instructing those who sin and stray.
God guides the humble in the Light,
and teaches them the Way.

God is loving, God is true
to those who follow in the Way.
Forgiving, Savior, Teacher, Lord!
Be with us all our days.

Show me Your ways.
Guide me in truth.
Save me with love.

[Princess Michelle]

Nope, but those are good too.

 

[JC2]

Somehow I didn't think they were.

I have put in a request to "my people" to find out some info about this song. And, um, they'll be in touch with "your people" and let ya know what I find out. mmmkay?

Thanks Fur and if they get my voice mail, tell 'em to leave a message.

This How It Feels To Be Free/Phillips, Craig & Dean

There's a wall that has been standing
Since the day that Adam fell
Sin is where it started
Sin is why it held
Speaking as a prisoner
Who was there and lived to tell
I remember how it felt

I could hear the sound of freedom
Like a distant voice it called
And beckoned me to follow
Where I had never gone
Though my heart was willing
I just stood there at the wall
Praying somehow it would fall

But in the cross I found a doorway
And a hand that held the keys
When the chains fell at my feet
For the first time I could see

This is how it feels to be free
This is what it means to know
That I am forgiven
This is how it feels to be free
To see that life can be more than I imagined
This is how it feels to be free
This is how it feels to be free

There are days when I'm reminded
Of the prison I was in
Like a living nightmare
Burning from within
I can hear the voice of evil
I can hear the call of sin
But I won't go back again

Once I tasted freedom
Then the walls could bind no more
Since mercy gave me wings to fly
Like an eagle I can soar

This is how it feels to be free
This is what it means to know
That I am forgiven
This is how it feels to be free
To see that life can be more than I imagined
This is how it feels to be free
This is how it feels to be free

Somewhere there's a prison
Where the chains still bind
There but for the grace of God
Those walls could still be mine
So, for all the captives I say

This is how it feels to be free
This is what it means to know
That I am forgiven
This is how it feels to be free
To see that life can be more than I imagined
This is how it feels to be free
This is how it feels to be free

My Praise/Phillips, Craig & Dean


Lord, I wish I could praise You with adequate words
But You leave me speechless
And I so long to sing You the song You deserve
But it would be endless
I long to move Your heart
To bring You something new
To tell how great You are
Till my praise to You

Is like an ocean breeze blowing on your face
Like a summer sun with its warm embrace
Like a gentle rain plays a symphony
That’s what I want my praise to be
Like a fragrant rose in the early spring
Like an eagle soars when it spreads its wings
Whatever, Lord, You may need from me
That’s what I want my praise to be
To You

Everything I could give, You already possess
Lord, I’m so unworthy
I’m just one of the millions to stand and confess
And yet still You hear me
Your heart is open wide
You long for what I bring
I pray somehow You’ll find this simple offering

Like an ocean breeze blowing on your face
Like a summer sun with its warm embrace
Like a gentle rain plays a symphony
That’s what I want my praise to be
Like a fragrant rose in the early spring
Like an eagle soars when it spreads its wings
Whatever, Lord, You may need from me
That’s what I want my praise to be
To You

I'll tell 'em!

Girl, I Love both of the songs you sang!! Wooohoooo!

 

[Princess Michelle]

He Reigns/Newsboys

It's the song of the redeemed
Rising from the African plain
It's the song of the forgiven
Drowning out the Amazon rain
The song of Asian believers
Filled with God's holy fire
It's every tribe, every tongue, every nation
A love song born of a greatful choir

It's all God's children singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah, He reigns
He reigns
It's all God's children singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah, He reigns
He reigns

Let it rise above the four winds
Caught up in the heavenly sound
Let praises echo from the towers of cathedrals
To the faithful gathered underground
Of all the songs sung from the dawn of creation
Some were meant to persist
Of all the bells rung from a thousand steeples
None rings truer than this

It's all God's children singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah, He reigns
He reigns
It's all God's children singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah, He reigns
He reigns

And all the powers of darkness
Tremble at what they've just heard
'Cause all the powers of darkness
Can't drown out a single word

When all God's children sing out
Glory, glory, hallelujah, He reigns
He reigns
All God's children sing out
Glory, glory, hallelujah, He reigns
He Reigns
All God's children sing out
Glory, glory, hallelujah, He reigns
He Reigns

 

[JC2]

And THAT would be my favorite Newsboys song right now! Love it!

 

[Princess Michelle]

Mine too Fur! They just top themselves with each new album they put out.

And here is a new favorite from a member of the Newsboys who has done some pretty great songs on his own.

The Man You Want Me To Be/Phil Joel

I played the fool so long
Thought I was so strong
All the while You knew it wasn't true
Rerunning in my mind
Memories of another time
When all I ever lived for
Was You

Jesus, Make me the man You want me to be
Jesus, Make me the man You want me to be

I’ve been listening all my life
Words are spoken all the time
I have heard the liars and the true
Voices twisting in the air
Sweetly sounding so unclear
But nothing can replace a word
From You

Jesus, Make me the man You want me to be
Jesus, Make me the man You want me to be

A child is but for so long
Turn around those days are gone
Nothing can replace the years of youth
I have swallowed lies
That tasted true
The plans I thought were sent from You
When all You wanted was for me
To be still

The burning in the heart
Of man's deepest desire
Is rising like a flame

Jesus, Make me the man You want me to be
Jesus, Make me the man You want me to be

The burning in the heart
Of our deepest desire
Rising like a flame
Burning higher and higher
Burning in the heart
Of our deepest desire
Is to know You

This song in my heart, this song in my soul
This song I was born to sing
It's Your song of freedom, now I'm free to dance again

I'll sing in the darkness, I'll laugh in the rain
Rejoice in Your love again
It's Your song of freedom, now I'm free to dance again

Your Spirit brings me liberty
Your breath of life has set me free

Jesus, Your love, it lifts me high
Gives me reason to run the race with joy
This song within me, Lord, will bless Your Holy name
Jesus, I'll dance before Your throne
Bring this heavenly sound to You alone
This song within me. Lord, will bless Your Holy name</Font>

 

[Princess Michelle]

Great song Fur! I think I'm going to sing one more before I head off to sleepy bye land.

Sweet Jesus/All Star United

Sweet Jesus, wash over me
Would You come and sweep me off of my feet, please
It's been two long weeks since You've heard me speak
And I was hoping that You might like to meet me
I heard You heal the broken hearted
Even those who've been discarded
Oh how I need You
I need to hear You say
Need to hear You say

Don't worry now
Don't worry how
Everything just seems to all work out
Would You sing me now to sleep

Sweet Jesus, wash over me
Would come and sweep me off of my feet, please
It's been far too long since I've sang Your song
And I was hoping that You might like to meet me
I heard You heal the broken hearted
Even those who've been discarded
Oh how I need You
I need to hear You say
Need to hear You say

Don't worry now
Don't worry how
Everything just seems to all work out
Would You sing me now to sleep

 

[JC2]

OK, I have just been WOWed by that song you just sang. I have never heard it, but I love it. I hope I can find a way to hear it.

 

[Princess Michelle]

Fur, you can hear a sound clip HERE

It is a beautiful song. I'm surprised they aren't playing it on the radio there. I hear it just about every time I get in my car.

 

[JC2]

YOUR UNFAILING LOVE

When the darkness...fills my sences
When my blindness...keeps me from
Your touch...Jesus come
When my burden...keepsme doubting
When my memories...take the place of You
Jesus come
And I'll follow You there ...to the place
Where we meet ...and I'll lay down my pride
As You search me again

YOUR UNFAILING LOVE...YOUR UNFAILING LOVE
Over me again

As we stand on Your Word
Holy Spirit rain down</Font>

 

[Princess Michelle]

LISA!!!! Girlfriend! I saw you online last night and was hoping we'd see you here. I'm so happy for you that you are now able to be at home. You've been in my thoughts and prayers often and it is so good to see you again!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

A song for a friend...I heard it on the radio today and it made me think of you.

Pray For Me/Michael W. Smith

Here is where the road divides
Here is where we realize
The sculpting of the Father's great design
Thru' time you've been a friend to me
But time is now the enemy
I wish we didn't have to say goodbye
But I know the road He chose for me
Is not the road he chose for you
So as we chase the dreams we're after

Pray for me and I'll pray for you
Pray that we will keep the common ground
Won't you pray for me and I'll pray for you
And one day love will bring us back around again

Painted on our tapestry
We see the way it has to be
Weaving thru' the laughter and the tears
But love will be the tie that binds us
To the time we leave behind us
Memories will be our souvenirs
And I know that thru' it all
The hardest part of love is letting go
But there's a greater love that holds us

Pray for me and I'll pray for you
Pray that we will keep the common ground
Won't you pray for me and I'll pray for you
And one day love will bring us back around again

 

[Princess Michelle]

All I Need To Say/Michael W. Smith


Sad goodbye
Never quite got said
Now the time is gone
We're movin' on
Even though it hurts so bad
If I could I'd turn back the days
And I'd love again
To be your friend
In a hundred different ways
But we can't turn back the time
The days

So if I never said
All I needed to say
I'll say it now
You know I loved you once
I love you stronger today
Please love find me a way
Words I still need to say
But I don't know how

Can't stand still
Still I can't move on
Lord I need Your strength
Need You in me
'Cause a part of me is gone
In time I will know
What I've yet to see
That through all the pain
You hurt the same
And You're standing here with me
And more than anything it's You I need

So if I never said
All I needed to say
I'll say it now
You know I loved you once
I love you stronger today
Please love find me a way
Words I still need to say
But I don't know how
