One from Stacie Orrico's new cd

"That's What Love's About"

I've been thinking how to step to you
And still try my best to keep my cool
And make sure that I don't break the rules
(While I try to solve a mystery)
Now it seems that everybody knows
But it seems not everybody shows
That love is the only way to go
(No, it doesn't matter what you see)
All I want is for love to live
Let's learn to give love

When he is down you should help your brother
When it comes around you should help one another
Help build him up when he's down and out
(Ask what you can)
Do when you see he needs help from another
When it comes around we should help one another
Help build him up when he's down and out
That's what love's all about

What love's about; What love's about
What love's about

I'll keep trying hard to help you see
Cause I really wanna' make you see
Help you understand what love can be
(If you'd only, only just believe)
Is there anyway to keep it real
While I try to tell you what I feel
And make sure you really know the deal
(So can anybody talk to me)
All I want is for love to live
Let's learn to give love

When he is down you should help your brother
When it comes around you should help one another
Help build him up when he's down and out
(Ask what you can)
Do when you see he needs help from another
When it comes around we should help one another
Help build him up when he's down and out
That's what love's all about

What love's about; What love's about; What love's about
What love's about

I'm calling everyone around me
Won't you please, please; Oh tell me
What can make a bond grow stronger
Love can; Love can

When he is down you should help your brother
When it comes around you should help one another
Help build him up when he's down and out
(Ask what you can)
Do when you see he needs help from another
When it comes around we should help one another
Help build him up when he's down and out
That's what love's all about
[repeat]

What love's about; What love's about; What love's about
Ask what you can
What love's about; What love's about; What love's about
That's what love's all about

 

[CourtasanSatine]

one more from the same cd(I'm been listening to her today)


"(There's Gotta Be) More To Life"

I've got it all, but I feel so deprived
I go up, I come down and I'm emptier inside
Tell me what is this thing that I feel like I'm missing
And why can't I let it go

[Chorus]
There's gotta be more to life...
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
Cause the more that I'm...
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life
Well there's life, but I'm sure... there's gotta be more
Than wanting more

I've got the time and I'm wasting it slowly
Here in this moment I'm half way out the door
Onto the next thing, I'm searching for something that's missing

[repeat chorus]

i'm wanting more
I'm always waiting on something other than this
Why am I feelin' like there's something I missed.....

[repeat chorus x2]

 

[Princess Michelle]

Jill, good luck, I've been searching for the lyrics to that song for a long time and haven't been able to find them. I believe that Teri DeSario is the one who sings it. It used to be one of my favorites when I was younger. They just need to get over themselves and play some of the golden oldies on the radio! LOL

 

[sm4987]

Good Evening ALL. I know that's it's not a song, but sometimes we could all use a little inspiration and a prayer.

May today there be peace within you. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing that you are a child of God.

Let His presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the
freedom to sing, dance, and to bask in the sun. He is there for each and every one of us.

Subject: God's Work
1. Be ye fishers of men...You catch them - He'll clean them.

2. Coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous.

3. Don't put a question mark where God put a period.

4. Don't wait for 6 strong men to take you to church.

5. Forbidden fruits create many jams.

6. God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called

7. God grades on the cross, not the curve.

8. God loves everyone, but probably prefers "fruits of the spirit" over "religious nuts!"

9. God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage.

10. He, who angers you, controls you!

11. If God is your Copilot - swap seats!

12. Most people want to serve God, but only in an advisory capacity.

13. Prayer: Don't give God instructions just report for duty!

14. The task ahead of us is never as great as the Power behind us.

15. The Will of God will never take you to where the Grace of God will not protect you.

16. We don't change the message, the message changes us.

17. You can tell how big a person is by what it takes to discourage him

Without Him, I will be nothing. Without Him, I am nothing but with Him I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me. Phil 4:13

S.M., Welcome to the thread first of all and thanks for the great post! We post all kinds of things here, not just songs so feel free to stop in anytime!

 

[cheeringmom]

Thank you sm4987. Wow. A lot to ponder and pray over. I'm making a copy and emiling it to some friends. Thank you for sharing!! God bless

 

[CRB#33]

Hi everyone.

For Rajah:

When peace like a river attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot
Thou hast taught me to say,
"It is well, it is well with my soul."

It is well
With my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul.

My sin O, the bliss of this glorious thought
My sin, not in part, but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross
And I bear it no more
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

It is well
With my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul.

And Lord haste the day when my faith shall be sight
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll
The trump shall resound
And the Lord shall descend,
"Even so" it is well with my soul!

It is well
With my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul.

 

[stamper]

Jill....just to clarify, I LOVR Big Daddy Weave....it's Relient K that I'm not so excited about Guess I'm too old DD has the latest BDW CD I think...it has "Fields of Grace".

 

[Princess Michelle]

Hey CRB#33! Good to see you, that's one of my most favorite hymns ever!


Psalm for today!

January 8, 2004

"My Heart is glad." Psalms 16:9

A Smiling heart feels so good!

and in my opinion, a bouncy one feels even better!

 

[DemonLlama]

Hi All. I've not read through the pages, so forgive me if this is repeated, but I wanted to add the lyrics of my favorite. It's also a song Tammi might find comforting.

If I Stand by Rich Mullins

There's more that rises in the morning than the sun
And more that shines in the night than just the moon
There's more than just this fire here that keeps me warm
In a shelter that is larger than this room

And there's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiments
And a music higher than the songs that I can sing
Stuff of Earth competes for the allegiance
I owe only to the Giver of all good things

So if I stand let me stand on the promise that you will pull me through
And if I can't, let me fall on the grace that first brought me to you
So if I sing let me sing for the joy that has born in me these songs
And if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for his home

And there's more that dances on the prairies than the wind
And more that pulses in the ocean than the tide
There's a love that's fiercer than the love between friends
More gentle than a mother's when her baby's at her side

And there's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiments
And a music higher than the songs that I can sing
The stuff of Earth competes for the allegence
I owe only to the Giver of all good things

So if I stand let me stand on the promise that You will pull me through
And if I can't let me fall on the grace that first brought me to You
And if I sing let me sing for the joy that has born in me these songs
And if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for his home.



God bless,
Tori

Be Blessed everyone!!

God Knows

When you are tired and discouraged from fruitless effort…

God knows how hard you have tried.

When you’ve cried so long and your heart is in anguish…

God has counted your tears.

If you feel that your life is on hold and time has passed you by…

God is waiting with you.

When you’re lonely and your friends are too busy even for a phone call…

God is by your side.

When you think you’ve tried everything and don’t know where to turn…

God has a solution.

When nothing makes sense and you are confused or frustrated…

God has the answer.

If suddenly your outlook is brighter and you find traces of hope…

God has whispered to you.

When things are going well and you have much to be thankful for…

God has blessed you.

When something joyful happens and you are filled with awe…

God has smiled upon you.

When you have a purpose to fulfill and a dream to follow…

God has opened your eyes and called you by name.

Remember that wherever you are or whatever you are facing…

GOD KNOWS

SM...thanks, I needed that today!

 

[JC2]

Welcome to all of the new posters! I am so glad to see you and so appreciate all that you add!

It's good to see all of you guys who have been posting for a while, too!

You are all a blessing!

Lisa, I am so excited about your daughter accepting Jesus! How awesome!!!!!!!

 

[Hemi-mom]

JENNIFER! So glad to see you here! I hope you're not too busy to sing! I'm praying for you sis...you are such a blessing too!!!!!

Stampy, glad to know you like Big Daddy Weave! I don't know how you couldn't !!! LOL That is a great album and the Title song "Fields of Grace" is one I absolutely love...as a matter of fact, yesterday it was played TWICE on the radio at times when I desperately needed to hear it. It was like God was trying to knock me over the head and say, "HEY JILL! I'm here! You are weak, life is a struggle...MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT...COME DANCE WITH ME!!!!!!" I have been so bogged down and yesterday was a point where I was internalizing and pitying and becoming so self absorbed and asking God WHY????? and He sent me this song (among others) TWICE!!!!!! WOW, I didn't mean to get into all of that! Maybe a testimony is what I needed to share today. I pray God will keep me strong and never give up on knocking me over with things I NEED! LOL

Michelle, Thanks so much for the Psalms! Tapestry is a Teri Desario song...I found out that much, but I didn't find all of the lyrics. You're right that they need to play more oldies more often!

sm4987, thanks for your posts! We love that kida stuff here and I am sending it on to friends as well! Keep posting!

CS, I love that Stacie Orrico song! (More to Life) I knew I knew some of her stuff!

Tori, thanks for that Rich Mullens song! It is an awesome song!

Barb! IT IS WELL is a wonderful hymn of comfort. I especially like 4HIM's version of it.

Here's an oldie and a favorite of mine...

Friend of a Wounded Heart/Wayne Watson

Smile--Make 'em think you're happy
Lie--And say that things are fine
And hide that empty longing that you feel
Don't ever show it
Just keep your heart concealed

Why--Are the days so lonely
Where can a heart go free
And who will dry the tears that no one's seen
There must be someone
To share your silent dreams

Caught like a leaf in the wind
Lookin' for a friend--Where can you turn
Whisper the words of a prayer--And you'll find Him there
Arms open wide--Love in His eyes

Jesus--He meets you where you are
Jesus--He heals your secret scars
All the love you're longing for is
Jesus--The friend of a wounded heart

Joy, comes like the the morning
Hope, deepens as you grow
and peace, beyond the reaches of your soul,
Comes blowing through you, for love has made you whole.

Once like a leaf in the wind
Looking for a friend, where could you turn?
You spoke the words of a prayer
And you found Him there, arms open wide, love in His eyes.

Jesus--He meets you where you are
Jesus--He heals your secret scars
All the love you're longing for is
Jesus--The friend of a wounded heart

 

[JC2]

Hey Jill! Thanks for thinking about me!!

 

[JC2]

<Font color="darkblue">All I once held dear, built my life upon
All this world reveres and wars to own
All I once thought gain I have counted loss,
Spent and worthless now compared to this

Knowing You, Jesus, knowing You
There is no greater thing
You're my all, You're the best
You're my joy, my righteousness
And I love You Lord

Now my heart's desire is to know You more,
To be found in You and know as Yours
To possess by faith what I could not earn
All surpassing gift of righteousness

Oh to know the power of Your risen life
And to know You in Your sufferings
To become like You in Your death, my Lord
So with You to live and never die

Knowing You, Jesus, knowing You
There is no greater thing
You're my all, You're the best
You're my joy, my righteousness
And I love You Lord</Font>

<Font color="purple">
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases
His mercies never come to an end
They are new every morning
New every morning
Great is Thy faithfulness O Lord
Great is Thy faithfulness</Font>

Hello DemonLlama! So good to have you here singing with us! I love Rich Mullins.

S.M., I really love what you posted on this page!

Jilly! Friend of a Wounded Heart is one of my most favorite songs ever.

Stampy and Fur, it's always great to see you!

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

You are Still Holy

Holy, You are still holy
Even when the darkness surrounds my life.
Sovereign, You are still sovereign,
Even when confusion has blinded my eyes.
Lord, I don't deserve Your kind affection,
When my unbelief has kept me from Your touch.
I want my life to be a pure reflection of Your love.

So I come into Your chambers
And I dance at Your feet, Lord.
You are my Savior, and I'm at Your mercy.
All that has been in my life up to now, it belongs to You.
You are still holy.

Holy, You are still holy
Even though I don't understand Your ways.
Sovereign, You will be sovereign
Even when my circumstances don't change.
Lord I don't deserve Your tender patience
When my unbelief has kept me from Your truth
I want my life to be a sweet devotion to You.

So I come into Your chambers
And I dance at Your feet, Lord.
You are my Savior, and I'm at Your mercy.
All that has been in my life up to now, it belongs to You.
I belong to You.

You are still holy.
You are still sovereign.
You are still holy, Lord.
You are still righteous.
You are all knowing.
You are still holy.
You are still holy.

 

[Otto's Doll]

Hi Everyone, so good to see you all on this cold cold Pennsylvania night.
God bless you all! I count you among my blessings.


The Anchor Holds

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

CHORUS:
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

CHORUS

I have been young
But I am older now
And there has been beauty
That 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

CHORUS (repeat)

 

[CourtasanSatine]

another tune from Stacie Orrico


With a Little Faith





I'd say I'm always happy if you want me to

But sometimes it's not that easy

My life is not as perfect as it seems to be

It's simply God's amazing grace

I'm here to share His love with you

There is no need to fear to live this life of love



With a little faith, with a little love

I know we can make it

I know we can make it

With a little help sent from God above

I know we can make it

I know we can make it through



I know what it takes to be yourself

Instead of when they put you down

I can't understand why you choose to hide

When you should run to the strength I found

If only you'd see for yourself

Then you could know the one

Who loves you so much more

If only I could help you out

But God's the only one

What are you waiting for



repeat chorus



It seems to wash away

Can't find a will to go on

But I am here to say there's hope

You must carry on

Jesus will light your way

He'll give you all that you need

No need to be afraid all you've got to do is believe



repeat chorus
