Come Lord Jesus come
Come Lord Jesus come
Come Lord Jesus come
Come Lord Jesus come

All who are thirsty
All who are weak
Come to the fountain
Dip your heart in the stream of Life
Let the pain and the sorrow be washed away
In the waves of His mercy
As deep cries out to deep
We sing

Come Lord Jesus come
Come Lord Jesus come
Come Lord Jesus come
Come Lord Jesus come

Holy Spirit Come</Font>

The Beauty of the Cross: Crystal Lewis





King of my life I crown You now

You’re the ruler of my heart

I will wear it loud

I will tell the whole world about You

You died in my place

You suffered all for me

Just so I could live

You were broken and bruised

And I will tell the whole world about You



The cross, stained by blood

The beauty of the cross

Healing for the lost

The cross, stained by blood

The beauty of the cross

Healing for the lost

The cross



King of my life I crown You now

You’re healer I’ve longed for

Now of heaven I’m sure

And I will tell the whole world about You



Thorns on Your brow

Stripes on Your back

So innocent, You did it all for me

Nails in Your hands

Nails in Your feet

Sword in Your side, You did it all for me

You paid the cost

That’s the beauty of the cross

 

[CourtasanSatine]

Lord, I Believe in You: Crystal Lewis





Though I can’t see Your holy face

And Your throne in heaven above

It seems so far away

Though I can’t touch your nail scarred hands

I have a deep and unspeakable joy

That makes my faith to stand



Lord, I believe in You

I’ll always believe in You

Though I can’t see you with my eyes

Deep in my heart

Your presence I find

Lord, I believe in You

And I’ll keep my trust in You

Let the whole world say what they may

No one can take this joy away

Lord, I believe



Born from above

You are God’s only chosen one

You’re the one and only true way

To the Father’s heart

You died for all sin

Then you rose and now live again

Conquering death and the grave

So that I might live

I had dinner with a friend today. After a while, she began to talk about how she feels such a need to grow in her walk and relationship with Jesus. She went on to share about how she has gotten to the place that she just reads her Bible on Sundays - and how she doesn't like that and wants to be better about getting alone with God, even if just a few minutes a day. And she told me how embarrassed she feels because she sees everyone at church as so strong in their walk with Jesus. I told her that she has nothing to be embarrassed about. She is in a GREAT place! A place where she is hungering and thirsting for more of Jesus. It's like the closer we get to Him, the more we realize our great need for Him and our total inadequacy.
In talking with her I saw such a deep need within myself to renew that passion in my heart for Jesus. He waits while we are busy...still loving and providing and being His awesome self. I just want to treat Him like the Lord of my life- instead of just calling Him that.


Hungry I come to You
For I know You satisfy
I am empty but I know Your love does not run dry
So I will wait for You
I will wait for You

I'm falling on my knees
Offering all of me
Jesus, You are all this heart is living for
I'm falling on my knees
Offering all of me
Jesus, You are all this heart is living for

Broken I run to You
For Your arms are open wide
I am weary but I know Your touch restores my life
So I will wait for You
I will wait for You

I'm falling on my knees
Offering all of me
Jesus, You are all this heart is living for
I'm falling on my knees
Offering all of me
Jesus, You are all this heart is living for

With the 2 year anniversay of 9/11 soon this song just spoke to me today

Beauty for Ashes: Crystal Lewis

(Isaiah 61:1-3)

He gives beauty for ashes

Strength for fear

Gladness for mourning

Peace for despair

(repeat)



When sorrow seems to surround you

When suffering hangs heavy o’er your head

Know that tomorrow brings

Wholeness and healing

God knows your need

Just believe what He said



Chorus



When what you’ve done keeps you from moving on

When fear wants to make itself at home in your heart

Know that forgiveness brings

Wholeness and healing

God knows your need

Just believe what He said



Chorus



I once was lost but God has found me

Though I was bound I’ve been set free

I’ve been made righteous in His sight

A display of His splendor all can see

 

[JC2]

Those are such great Crystal Lewis songs, CS! Love them!

 

[EdiePA]

but I want you all to know that I read every post and your songs, Bible verses and words have been such a blessing to me.

May I just shout today, GOD IS SO GOOD! Since my husband walked out nearly two years ago, I've so missed having someone to talk to and even though I pray, I felt like my prayers were bouncing off of the ceiling and not going anywhere. Well, a week ago, a prayer was answered by my counselor. He refused payment and told me to go buy groceries (money is really tight and DS#2 and I were living on PB & J). Then, just now, my neighbor came over, invited me for dinner and she wants us to get together at least once a week. She's a child of divorce and she sets my heart at ease for how my sons will come out of this. I have prayed for nearly two years for a friend of the heart and God has answered. Again, let me shout, GOD IS SO GOOD!

So, I'm singing again and praising Him!

PSALM 112

4Him - PSALM 112
From the album - WALK ON
Label - Word (2001)

We only get so many times
To ride around this sun
And so many times to see a full moon shine
When day is done

If anything’s worth doing
Then it’s worth doing right
So I looked for wisdom on how to
Best live this life I have found

chorus:
Blessed is he who fears the Lord
Who finds delight in His commands
Blessed is he who fears the Lord
Who finds delight in His commands

I guess that we all gamble on some
Truth to guide our days
And we trust that it will bring us joy and meaning
On the way

I’ve got friends who feel betrayed by all the things
They once believed
So with everything I’ve seen I’ve gotta say
It seems to me

(chorus)

Please hear this from a humble heart
But I feel like “Exhibit A”
In the evidence that God is good to those who live by faith
That’s why I believe

(chorus)

He will not be shaken
He will have no fear
He will then remember

Thanks for reading this "mega" post and for being on this walk with me everyday!

[JC2]

Woohooo Edie!! I'm shouting with you! God is beautiful and so amazingly faithful! Thanks for sharing such precious words of encouragement!
And I sooo love that song!!

 

[EdiePA]

The "tag fairies" heard my plea and gave me a tag! And it's even better than I could have imagined !! Woo hoo!!

Artist: Jeremy Camp
Album: Stay
Song: I Still Believe

Scattered words and empty thoughts
Seem to pour from my heart
I've never felt so torn before
Seems i dont know where to start
But its now i feel your grace fall like rain
From every fingertip washing away my pain

I still believe in your faithfulness
I still believe in your truth
I still believe in your holy word
Even when I dont see I still believe

Though the questions still fog up my mind
With promises i still seem to bear
Even when answers slowly unwind
It's my heart I see you prepare
But its now that I feel your grace fall like rain
From every fingertip washing away my pain

The only place I can go is into your arms
Where I throw to you my feeble prayers in brokeness
I can see that this is your will for me
Help me to know you are near


I know I've sung this before, but the words just flow over me and take away my pain. Here's the story behind it:

Just two years ago, Jeremy Camp took a leap of faith and married his sweetheart, Melissa, who had recently been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. The treatments seemed to be working, and Melissa was a believer of tremendous faith, trusting God all the way and willing to go through anything He allowed for her. But just after returning from their honeymoon, they got the bad news -- the treatments weren't working, and Melissa went home to be with her Lord just five months later, in February of last year. As Jeremy returned to her hospital room, just moments after she had died, he heard God say, "Worship me!" Jeremy argued with God that he had just taken the love of his life away and still God said, "Worship me." So, for two hours, he sang in Melissa's hospital room and this song came out of that pain.

In Him,
Edie

I Can Only Imagine: MercyMe



I can only imagine

What it will be like

When I walk by Your side

I can only imagine

What my eyes will see

When Your face is before me

I can only imagine



Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel

Will I dance for you Jesus, or in awe of You be still

Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall

Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all

I can only imagine



I can only imagine

When that day comes

And I find myself standing in the Son

I can only imagine

When all I will do

Is forever, forever worship You

I can only imagine



repeat chorus

 

[JC2]

Edie, I like your tag! Thanks for sharing the testimony behind that song.

CS, I Can Only Imagine is such a good song!

 

[CourtasanSatine]

JC2: I've been humming it all day so I posted the lyrics

 

[CourtasanSatine]

God Loves You: Rachel Lampa





Just about the time that you

have the whole world figured out

That would be the time that you

enter in a season of doubt, I'll tell you

That every time those thoughts begin to

enter your mind

Your Father picks you up again and

that's how you find that



God loves you

You know it, you know it, you know it, know it

God loves you

Forever and ever and ever, ever



You know just how cold it feels

When there's no hope left in sight

All alone and scared you pray

For strength to make it through the night, remember

When every turn you take just leaves you

cold in the dark

Light breaks through and shows you

He was there all along cause



repeat chorus



You never really wanted to believe it was true

You never really thought that this could

happen to you

But just as soon as you begin to throw up your hands

Your Father whispers gently and then

you understand that



repeat chorus

 

[CourtasanSatine]

Healing Waters: Michelle Tumes



I've built a bridge

All of my strength cannot cross over

I stand at the edge

The end of a road that I have followed

Sinking from the weight of my own world

Wanting the waves of Your ways to wash my feet



Healing waters

Healing waters

Solace flows

Through the river of forgiveness to my soul

Oh, I need You

Healing waters



Pour over me

Water to clean all my intentions

Baptizing streams

I swim in the freedom of redemption

Floating on the sea of purity

Knowing I can dive n the love that rescues me



repeat chorus



Memories are raging high

Floods so deep they touch the sky

All the things I've done to You

All the parts of life untrue

Healing comes from outstretched hands

Saving me from what I am

Carry me

Carry me



repeat chorus

 

[CourtasanSatine]

If This World: Jaci Velasquez


Do you feel you've been disowned
Left outside in the cold
And without a home
Do you think that no cares
That you're lost and alone
And without a prayer?

Don't give in to the lie
That there's no one you can turn to
Don't lose heart, there is hope
There is someone who will never desert you

CHORUS
If this world is a lonely place for you
Fall into the arms of love
If this world is a lonely place for you
There is a God who you can trust
Who'll comfort you and lift you up

Are you looking for a friend
Who will stand by your side
To the very end?
Someone who is always true
To his word be assured
He won't turn from you

Put your faith in the One
Who will never let you down
He has proven his love
Open up to all he has nor you now

REPEAT CHORUS

He hears your cry, He sees your tears
He know your pain and all your fears
He waits for you with open arms
He longs to live inside your heart
You'll never be alone again

REPEAT CHORUS

 

[CourtasanSatine]

I Believe: ZOEgirl




I used to close my eyes and pray the time would pass me by

So I could fly away in my dreams to anywhere unreal

And I'd hide away from everything

I didn't know what was real, I didn't know the truth

There was a day when somebody introduced me to You

And You breathed Your life in me...

You set me free



Now I'll shout it from the mountains

That I'm not the same that I used to be

I believe in God, believe in God

I'm not ashamed to talk about it

To a world that slowly slips away

That I believe in God, believe in God



Now at the end of day when nothing seems to go my way

I've got a friend, I've got a love that's never gonna let me go

Since You gave Your life for me

You set me free...



repeat chorus



Oh, when I feel so alone

He come to sweetly say

It's all gonna be okay

Oh, when my emotions flow

He comes to sweetly say

It's all gonna be okay



repeat chorus

 

[CourtasanSatine]

Someone Like You: Jamie Slocum



When did the choices in life get so hard

Why do some people always play the ace card

Just when you think you're winning the game

You do your best with what you've been given

Hopin, prayin, dreamin and wishin

(Well I know)



That God can use someone like you, everyday in so many ways

No matter where you are in this world

God can use someone like you, every day in so many ways

No matter where you are in this world

God can use someone like you



When nobody believes in what you are doing, you work so hard

But things just are not moving the way they should

The way you always thought they would

Well nothing that matters ever comes easy

Only the love of Christ is completely given away

With nothing more to pay (and I know)



repeat chorus



No matter where you are in this world, God can use someone like you

repeat 2x

Hi CS!
<Font color="darkblue">
Light of the world
You stepped out into darkness
Opened my eyes
Let me see
Beauty that made this heart adore You
And hope of a life spent with You

Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
You're altogether wonderful to me

King of all days
Oh so highly exalted
Glorious in heaven above
Humbly You came to the earth You created
And all for love's sake became poor

So here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
And here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
You're altogether worthy
You're altogether wonderful to me

Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
And here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
You're altogether worthy
You're altogether wonderful to me</Font>

Hello everyone!!!!

The Glory by Avalon

In the solitary moment of His birth
On this barren, dusty land
All of heaven kissed the face of the earth
And in a miracle of love
God became a man

But He was sent away to draw His final breath
When He was only thirty-three
And in the shame of dying a criminals death
He saved an angry world
And in His suffering I see

The glory of the blood
The beauty of the body
That was broken for our forgiveness
The glory of His perfect love
Is the heart of the story
The glory of the blood

I have tried to find salvation on my own
In a search for something real
There's a guilty pain inside this flesh and bone
I fall upon His grace and I begin to feel

The glory of the blood
The beauty of the body
That was broken for our forgiveness
The glory of His perfect love
Is the heart of the story
The glory of the blood

And when I close my eyes I can see Him hanging there
Oh the precious wounded Lamb of God
And all the majesty in the world cannot compare
To the glory
The beauty of the body that was broken for our forgiveness!

The glory of the blood
The beauty of the body
That was broken for our forgiveness
The glory of His perfect love
Is the heart of the story
The glory of the blood

He was sent away to draw His final breath
When He was only thirty-three
