All to Jesus I surrender
All to Him I freely give
I will ever love and trust Him
In His presence daily live

I surrender all
I surrender all
All to Thee my Blessed Savior
I surrender all</Font>

Jennifer, thank you so much for your prayers.

Michelle, Thanks for the quotes and scriptures on this page and also the Petra song.
The thing you posted yesterday about the attitude of worship touched me, as you know, and I thought it tied in nicely with this NEW FFH song! So I'll guess I'll sing...even if it means fighting against my stubborn nature...

It's a Good Day/FFH

However long our feet have walked on this world
We've all lived enough to know
That sometimes life will go our way
And other times it won't
But still I've got this joy inside of me
With each new dawn I do believe to...

Say, Hey, It's a good day
Even if things aren't going my way
Jesus is Lord and I am saved
So, say hey, it's a good day

Circumstance and situations change
You know life can turn on a dime
But there's a constant hope and peace
That I have come to find
And it's all because of who God is
And that He is alive and I am His, so...

Say, Hey, It's a good day
Even if things aren't going my way
Jesus is Lord and I am saved
So, say hey, it's a good day

We are all as happy as we make our minds up to be
I have just decided that nothing's gonna take this joy from me

Say, Hey, It's a good day
Even if things aren't going my way
Jesus is Lord and I am saved
So, say hey, it's a good day

Lead Me to the Water/Bryan Duncan

Between the divide, there is a river.
The water is clear and pure as driven snow.
It flows from a spring that wells forever,
Enriching the world beneath God Almighty's throne.
And though the masses won't believe it,
If it's there it's not too far to go.

Lead me to the water that can wash my heart clean,
Replenish my spirit.
Lead me to the water, the crystaline water,
And let me start over.
In the springs of living water, let each new day begin.

They're standing their ground out in the desert.
Wasting away, but not thirsty anymore.
You're taking a chance against the current;
Old habits will stand and they'll curse you from the shore.
But I'm sure I wanna chance it,
And the time has come, so let me go.

Lead me to the water that can wash my heart clean,
Replenish my spirit.
Lead me to the water, the crystaline water,
And let me start over.
In the springs of living water, let each new day begin.
In the springs of living water, let each new day begin.

Aaaahhh!

Lead me to the water, wash my heart clean,
Replenish my spirit.
Lead me to the water, crystaline water,
And let me start over.
In the springs of living water, let each new day begin.
In the springs of living water, let each new day begin.
In the springs of living water, let each new day begin.

All the Way to Heaven-V*Enna



I never thought that I would

Give my life to You

But now I need Your love in

Everything I do



And when my life is over

We can be together



Take me all the way to heaven

I will follow You forever

When all is said and done

You will be the only One

No more loneliness and sorrow

I have found a new tomorrow

And when my time has come

You and I will live as one



You're all I ever needed

I will follow You

And I will never leave You

Now I know the truth



And when my life is over

We can be together



Now I know I need Your love

And I know Your love is real

Let me show You how I feel



Take me with You

Show me the way to heaven

I've found the Truth

Now I will live forever...

Hi CS! Good to see ya!

 

[CourtasanSatine]

Hi back JC

 

[EdiePA]

DS#1 left on Sunday to return to Kentucky for training for his mission trip to India. He'll leave for India on July 1st and I won't see him again until August 9th or so. His fiance came for three days and stayed for ten! She left on Sunday, too, and I've come to really love her and feel better about them getting married so young. (DS will only be 21) She won't just be my daughter-in-law, she'll be my daughter-in-love!

DS#2 graduates from High School on Friday night. I survived Baccalaureate on Sunday with only a few tears. We spent all day (got up at 4am to be there) at Penn State yesterday getting him scheduled, etc. I'm not ready for the empty nest!!

Oh, and when you're praying for the requests that are here, (Tasha and Jilly, I've added your requests to my prayer list), please add one for my depression. This separation/divorce have really gotten me down with all of these "family" times going on around me. It's so hard when something like this is forced on you and your children.

Hugs,
Edie

PS. We sang this on Sunday and I really needed to sing out and live out the words!

DRAW ME CLOSE

Michael W. Smith - DRAW ME CLOSE
From the album - WORSHIP
Label - Reunion (2001)

Draw me close to You
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear You say that I’m Your friend
You are my desire
No one else will do
Cause nothing else could take Your place
To feel the warmth of Your embrace
Help me find the way
Bring me back to You

chorus:
You’re all I want
You’re all I’ve ever needed
You’re all I want
Help me to know You are near

 

[CourtasanSatine]

I'm in a long distance romance(some of you may know the tale).I'll hopefully get to see him this weekend and don't worry he agrees with me about waiting till marriage.We're taking our first road trip(Six Flags) this summer and I'm that happy.I do need prayer that we can somehow see each other and keep our love alive with the distance we have(miles only).Our love is alive but I know prayer helps

 

[JC2]

Edie and CS, I want you to know that I am praying for you both!

My Jesus
My Savior
Lord there is none like You
All of my days
I want to praise
The wonders of Your mighty love
My Comfort
My Shelter
Tower of Refuge and Strength
Let every breath
All that I am
Never cease to worship You

Shout to the Lord all the earth
Let us sing
Power and majesty
Praise to the King
Mountains bow down
And the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name
I sing for joy at the works of You hand
Forever I'll love You
Forever I'll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You</Font>

Hey....well, I found 2 seconds on this day....seems I have a "breather" in what has been a "full out, non-stop" 8 or 9 days! So, here is another new FFh song....I really need this CD!


His love goes on

I’m gonna sing, I’m gonna shout
I’m gonna let the reason out
That His love goes on forever
I’m gonna take it all the way
I’m gonna praise Jesus’ name
‘Cause His love goes on forever

His love reaches to the highest mountain
His love stretches to the lowest valley
His love will never fail me
It’s always there, surrounding me

I’m gonna give, I’m gonna grow
I’m gonna let the whole world know
That His love goes on forever
I’m gonna be a shining light
I’m gonna lift His name up high
‘Cause His love goes on forever

His love, it has no end
It’s long, it’s wide, and it’s deep
His love has found a way
Into the very heart of me

I’m gonna sing, I’m gonna shout
I’m gonna let the reason out
That His love goes on forever
I’m gonna take it all the way
I’m gonna praise Jesus’ name
‘Cause His love goes on forever
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks for the prayers and know that I am remembering all the above requests!

 

[Hemi-mom]

Thanks Jen, for the birthday wishes! You're so sweet! Thanks Tasha too for your email! I had a good day...Dan made a super(and also lite) supper, I only wish Michael had been feeling better. He is doing much better today, stayed home again, BUT fever has been gone for 24 hours SO it looks as if he will get to his class program tonight! Thanks for your prayers about this!

Thank you ALL also for the prayers for me, my attitude, my upcoming schedule and busy Sunday and my church's transition.

CS, I will definetely be praying for you and hoping that your time together is truly quality and geared toward seeking the Lord in your relationship!! We KNOW God can bridge the gap! DH and I had a year before our wedding when we were separated because he was away at school. It was hard...but reunions were fantastic! Sometimes I wish I could go back and relive those days...not that I want to be away from hubby...(please, NO! I can't even stand when he goes away on an overnight!) but I could see God's hand moving in our relationship even then as we were dealing with being separated by distance.

Edie, I am so touched by you. God is reaching out to you with His love even now, and the prayers of His people are interceeding on your behalf! Don't forget to pray for yourself..I think sometimes we tend to do that. He wants so much to hear from you and be your All in All. He has been really showing me that over the last week or so as I have been going through a hard time. I will pray for your boys and for you as you anticipate the empty nest. DS#2 is going to a GREAT school!! My DH went there for his grad work! I love the song you posted. Especially...
You’re all I want
You’re all I’ve ever needed
You’re all I want
Help me to know You are

Jennifer... Thanks so much for posting my signature scripture...Jeremiah 29:11. Amazing when we reread what is right UNDER our noses how He makes it all the more meaningful for us and in our walk with Him! His promises are tremendously superb!

Tasha! Love that new FFH CD!! Thanks for the song.

Michelle, in prayer for you today. I hope you're back to work and doing well!

 

[Hemi-mom]

The theme for my day and I hope to carry this through the valley...

More Than Fine/Switchfoot

When I wake in the morning,
I want to blow into pieces.
I want more than just ok, more than just ok.
When I’m up with the sunrise
I want more than just blue skies.
I want more than just ok, more than just ok.

I’m not giving up, giving up, not giving up now.
I’m not giving up, giving up, not backing down.

More than fine, more than bent on getting by.
More than fine, more than just ok.

When I’m wet with the sunshine.
I want more than just a good time.
I want more than just ok, more than just ok.

I’m not giving up, giving up, not giving up now.
I’m not giving up, giving up, not selling out.

More than fine, more than bent on getting by.
More than fine, more than just ok.
More than fine, more than bent on getting by.
More than fine, more than just ok.

More than oceans away from the dawn.
More than oceans away from the dawn.
More than oceans away from who we are
More than oceans, more than oceans, yeah.

More than fine, more than bent on getting by.
More than fine, more than just ok.
More than fine, more than bent on getting by.
More than fine, more than just ok.

Hey Jill! How way sweet for Dan to make supper for you! I think that is sooo nice! And I am really glad to hear that Michael is feeling better! Have a good time at his class program tonight! Love the song you posted!

Tasha, girl, you're gonna spoil us coming by two days in a row!! It's always so good to see you!

 

[Hemi-mom]

Jenny-FUR, Dan is an excellent cook...dare I say better than me even....uummm...YUP! He cooks often and more so recently since I've been working. He is tuly a sweetie! Trying to eat lighter, tonight we had cous-cous with sauteed veggies and capers with a pesto-stuffed tomato. I guess cooking is a hobby of his. I like to cook, but he experiments more...I'm the baker.

He wants me to tell you that for my Bday we had blackened chicken Ceasar salad with homemade, lite Ceeasar dressing the kids got homemade chicken tenders...He's SOOO modest! Oh and a cake (store bought Angel food) with berries, kiwi and homemade berry sauce! It was yummy!

 

[JC2]

Man oh man, Jill, that sounds scrumptious! Wow!! Both meals sound just excellent!

Living For You:ZOEgirl

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

 

[JC2]

I love that song, CS!!
