<font color=navy>Hi everyone & Happy Monday.

I love this song - it runs through my mind often:

Agnus Dei


Alleluia alleluia
For our lord God almighty reigns
Alleluia alleluia
For our lord God almighty reigns
Alleluia

Holy holy
Are you lord God almighty
Worthy is the lamb
Worthy is the lamb
You are holy
Holy
Are you lord God almighty
Worthy is the lamb
Worthy is the lamb
Amen

 

[Otto's Doll]

Jill and MaryJo those are some great songs. Thanks for the reminders that they prove to be.

The Old Rugged Cross

On a hill far away stood an Old Rugged Cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.

So I’ll cherish the Old Rugged Cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the Old Rugged Cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

Oh that Old Rugged Cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary.

So I’ll cherish the Old Rugged Cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the Old Rugged Cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

In that Old Rugged Cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see,
For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.

So I’ll cherish the Old Rugged Cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the Old Rugged Cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

To the Old Rugged Cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He’ll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I’ll share.

So I’ll cherish the Old Rugged Cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the Old Rugged Cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown

Jeanne, Did You Feel the Mountains Tremble is such an excellent song! Love that!

Jill and Jeanne, those are beautiful hymns.

Mary Jo! Agnus Dei is one of my favorite worship songs ever!

 

[cheeringmom]

WOW. Thanks for posting those beautiful hymns. Sometimes churches forget what a powerful message they bring. Don't get me wrong, I love the new praise music but wish hymns were sung a little more!

Blessings to you all! <a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_15_18.gif' border=0></a>

Every Heart That Is Breaking/Twila Paris

For the young abandoned husband
Left alone without a reason
For the pilgrim in the city where there is no home
For the son without a father
For his solitary mother
I have a message
He sees you. He knows you
He loves you. He loves you

Every heart that is breaking tonight
Is the heart of a child that He holds in His sight
And Oh how He longs to hold in His arms
Every heart that is breaking tonight

For the precious, fallen daughter
For her devastated father
For the prodigal who's dying in a strange new way
For the patriot with no country
I have a message
He sees you. He knows you
He loves you. He loves you

Every heart that is breaking tonight
Is the heart of a child that He holds in His sight
And Oh how He longs to hold in His arms
Every heart that is breaking tonight

Life Means So Much/Chris Rice

Every day is a journal page
Every man holds a quill and ink
And there's plenty of room for writing in
All we do is believe and think
So will you compose a curse
Or will today bring the blessings
Fill the page with rhyming verse
Or some random sketchings

Teach us to count the days
Teach us to make the days count
Lead us in better ways
Somehow our souls forgot
Life means so much
Life means so much
Life means so much

Every day is a bank account
And time is our currency
So no one's rich, nobody's poor
We get twenty-four hours each
So how are you gonna spend
Will you invest or squander
Try to get ahead
Or help someone who's under

Teach us to count the days
Teach us to make the days count
Lead us in better ways
Somehow our souls forgot
Life means so much
Life means so much
Life means so much

Has anybody lived who knew the value of a life
And didn't He give His own
To show the worth of yours and mine?

Teach us to count the days
Teach us to make the days count
Lead us in better ways
Somehow our souls forgot
Life means so much
Life means so much
Life means so much

Every day is a gift you've been given,
Make the most of the time every minute you're living

Sometimes Love/Chris Rice

Is our world spinning backwards?
What has brought about this change?
Can't you see that people aren't the same?
I wish I were dreamin'
And could wake up from my sleep
And find us all the way we used to be.
Cause the love that used to be is dying
Is anybody even trying?
And I don't know how, I don't know why
But something is my soul is crying

Sometimes love has to drive a nail into its own hand
Sometimes love has to drive a nail into its own hand

One pair of hands,
Broke some bread and washed some feet
Opened eyes and soothed an angry sea,
Belonged to a man
Who could see the deepest need
And showed us the way it has to be
'Cause he knew the price that love requires
And he laid down His own desires
He stretched out His hands to save His friends
And said no other love is higher

Sometimes love has to drive a nail into its own hand
Sometimes love has to drive a nail into its own hand

Love can change us, love can make a way
Only love can change us, love can make a way.

I wish I were dreamin'
And could wake up from my sleep
And find us all the way we used to be...

Clumsy/Chris Rice


You thing I'd have it down by now
Been practicin' for thirty years
I should have walked a thousand miles
So what am I still doin' here
Reachin' out for that same old piece of forbidden fruit
I slip and fall and I knock my halo loose
Somebody tell me what's a boy supposed to do?

Cause I get so clumsy
I get so foolish
I get so stupid
And then I feel so useless
But you're sayin' You love me
And you're still gonna hold me
And that You wanna be near me
'Cause You're makin' me holy
You're still makin' me holy, yeah

I'm gonna get it right this time
I'll be strong and I'll make You proud
I've prayed that prayer a thousand times
But the rooster crows and my tears roll down (again)
Then You remind me You made me from the dust
And I can never, no never, be good enough
And that You're not gonna let that come between us

Cause I get so clumsy
I get so foolish
I get so stupid
And then I feel so useless
But you're sayin' You love me
And you're still gonna hold me
And that You wanna be near me
'Cause You're makin' me holy
You're still makin' me holy, yeah

From where I stand
Your holiness is up so high I can never reach it
My only hope is to fall on Jesus...

Cause I get so clumsy
I get so foolish
I get so stupid
And then I feel so useless
But you're sayin' You love me
And you're still gonna hold me
And that You wanna be near me
'Cause You're makin' me holy
You're still makin' me holy, yeah

The River/Carman

It doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter where you've been
It doesn't matter what the scar
It doesn't matter what the sin
It doesn't matter how you fell
Somewhere along the way
There is healing for your life today

There's a river that flows
From the fountain of God
And it heals everything along the way
I have tasted and know
That for every broken heart
There is healing in Jesus' name

He looks beyond how far you've gone
He looks beyond when you were hurt
He looks beyond who stole your song
He looks beyond what made it worse
He looks beyond where others failed
To reach out to you and say
There's healing for your life today

There's a river that flows
From the fountain of God
And it heals everything along the way
I have tasted and know
That for every broken heart
There is healing in Jesus' name

It's a river that loves
It's a river that lives
It's the river of life
Living water it gives

 

[Otto's Doll]

Come, now is the time to worship
Come, now is the time to give your heart
Come, just as you are to worship
Come, just as you are before your God
Come

One day every tongue will confess you are God
One day every knee will bow
Still the greatest treasure remains for those
Who gladly choose you now

Come, now is the time to worship
Come, now is the time to give your heart
Come, just as you are to worship
Come, just as you are before your God
Come

One day every tongue will confess you are God
One day every knee will bow
Still the greatest treasure remains for those
Who gladly choose you now

Come, now is the time to worship
Come, now is the time to give your heart
Come, just as you are to worship
Come, just as you are before your God
Come

Oh Come, Oh Come
Worship the Lord and Come
Oh Come, Oh Come
Come

 

[JC2]

Michelle, you sing, girl!!!!!

Jeanne, love that song! And it is so full of truth.

 

[JC2]

<Font color="deeppink">
I will come and bow down
At Your feet Lord Jesus
In Your presence is fullness of joy
There is nothing
There is no one
Who compares with You
I take pleasure in worshiping You Lord</Font>

 

[Hemi-mom]

Love the songs everyone!

Michelle, that Twila Paris and those Chris Rice songs are awesome!

Just stopping in for a quick "DUNK"! (For those of you who don't know, I am a huge Bryan Duncan fan!)

Traces of Heaven/ Bryan Duncan

I've learned a lesson, and I've learned it well
Life don't get easier in the long run
I've washed my heart out in the tears I've cried
How I hate it, but I love it
And there's just no turning back, no
Will I find a way?
Will I fall apart?
Will You love me win or lose, yeah?
I keep reaching out to You

'Cause my hope lies in Your love for me
In Your faithfulness I can see
Traces of heaven
In subtle kindness, Lord
(Ooo, Your kindness, Lord)
You keep lovingly showing me
Traces of heaven
(Heaven)

I've longed to know how forgiveness feels
I've longed to feel that I belong to You
The truth can hold me for a thousand years
I can make it, I can take it
But there's more to love than truth
I can face the pain
I will live again
Long as I keep trusting You
(I trust in You, Lord)
And I'll keep trusting You!

'Cause my hope lies in Your love for me
In Your faithfulness I can see
Traces of heaven
In subtle kindness, oh!
(Ooo, Your kindness, Lord)
You keep lovingly showing me
Traces of heaven, yeah!

Bye!

 

[Hemi-mom]

What a simple message in that chorus Jen...I don't believe I know it but it reminds me of one I DO know...

We fall down
we lay our crowns at the feet of Jesus
The greatness of mercy and love at the feet of Jesus
And we cry Holy, Holy, Holy
And we cry Holy, Holy, Holy
And we cry Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lamb!

 

[JC2]

Hey Jill! I love <B>We Fall Down</B>! Good to see you!

 

[JC2]

<Font color="darkblue">
I have found exceeding joy
Jesus answered when I called
This Name that has saved me
Pure love that embraced me

Mercy, grace, eternal life
Bought from darkness to His light
While lost in my sin, He
Raised me and made me live

My soul magnifies the Lord
My heart joys in God my Saviour
For He lifts the lowly
And He has done great things for me
I will sing, praising evermore
He is mighty
And Holy is His Name

I will lift my head up high
Praising Jesus through each trial
Though I have not seen Him
I love Him completely

My soul magnifies the Lord
My heart joys in God my Saviour
For He lifts the lowly
And He has done great things for me
I will sing, praising evermore
He is mighty
He is mighty
He is mighty
And Holy is His Name</Font>

Hey Everyone!

Jeanne, Fur, love the songs that you sang!

Jilly! Can I go for a "Dunk" with you? I love Traces of Heaven, that little man can sing, girl!

Nature of Love/4HIM

Everybody wants to know for certain
That love will never leave them alone
And there are those who spend a lifetime searchin’
For a Juliet or Romeo
Well, I’ve discovered that one way or another
Love will find a way to your heart
It’s never to far away or never to far apart

There’s no mountain too high
There’s no ocean too wide
It’ll reach beyond the limits
That’s the nature of Love
Through the measure of time
It’ll go through the fire
It is endless that’s the nature
That’s the nature of Love

Some will say that it’s to old fashioned
That love is just a thing of the past
But I believe that only true compassion remains
When nothing else will last
We can’t deny when the Lord was crucified
He displayed the very meaning of love
You’re never out of His reach
You’re never to out of touch

There’s no mountain too high
There’s no ocean too wide
It’ll reach beyond the limits
That’s the nature of Love
Through the measure of time
It’ll go through the fire
It is endless that’s the nature
That’s the nature of Love

I just found this thread. It's really great! I've recently found a Christian music station by us, but it's just playing Christmas music now. Does anyone have a URL for a web site that plays contemporary Christian? I'm not ready to overdose on Christmas yet!

Thanks!

Lisa
