Only Hope/Switchfoot

There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write
over and over again
I'm awake and in the infinite cold
But You sing to me over and over and
over again

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
And pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now You're my only hope

Sing to me of the song of the stars
Of Your galaxy dancing and laughing
and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that You have
for me over again

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
And pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now You're my only hope

I give you my destiny
I'm giving You all of me
I want Your symphony
Singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
And pray to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now You're my only hope

I just found the new thread. I'm glad you started it.

If anyone wants to listen to a great Christian radion station on-line let me know and I'll send you the link. I'm just not sure if it is appropriate for me to post it here since I work for that station. Late last week they were able to get the feed back on-line.

Jilly, as far as I know they only toured for one year, a few years ago. The tour did stop here but I wasn't able to see it. Twila Paris played Mary, which was cool because she was actually pregnant at the time and SCC played Joseph. I heard nothing but excellent things about it. I wish I could have seen it.

Chellnjr, you work for a CCM station? How cool!

 

[JC2]

Awesome is the sight of Your holiness
Majestic is Your purity
Your righteousness shines brighter than the sun on me

Holy Holy Holy is the Lord of Hosts
Glory Glory Glory to His matchless name
Worthy Worthy Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
That was slain
That was slain</Font>

May the words of my mouth
And the meditations of my heart
Be pleasing to you, pleasing to You
May the words of my mouth
And the meditations of my heart
Be pleasing to You my God

You’re my Rock and my Redeemer
You’re the reason that I sing
I desire to be a blessing
In Your eyes
Every hour, every moment
Lord I want to be Your servant
I desire to be a blessing
In Your eyes, in Your eyes </Font>

 

[Saphire]

There is none like You,
no one else can touch my heart like You do;
I could search for all eternity long and find
there is none like You.

Your mercy flows like a river wide
and healing comes from Your hands;
suffering children are safe in Your arms,
there is none like You.

 

[JC2]

Hey Saphire! I love that song!

 

[stamper]

This is one of my fave hymns:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I sing the mighty power of God, that made the mountains rise,
That spread the flowing seas abroad, and built the lofty skies.
I sing the wisdom that ordained the sun to rule the day;
The moon shines full at God’s command, and all the stars obey.

I sing the goodness of the Lord, who filled the earth with food,
Who formed the creatures through the Word, and then pronounced them good.
Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed, where’er I turn my eye,
If I survey the ground I tread, or gaze upon the sky.

There’s not a plant or flower below, but makes Thy glories known,
And clouds arise, and tempests blow, by order from Thy throne;
While all that borrows life from Thee is ever in Thy care;
And everywhere that we can be, Thou, God art present there

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</Font>

 

[JC2]

As I come into Your presence
Past the gates of praise
Into Your sanctuary
Til we're standing face to face
I look upon Your contenance
I see the fullness of Your grace
I can only bow down and say

You are awesome in this place Mighty God
You are awesome in this place Abba Father
You are worthy of all praise
To You our lives we raise
You are awesome in this place Mighty God

You are awesome in this place Mighty God
You are awesome in this place Abba Father
You are worthy of all praise
To You our lives we raise
You are awesome in this place Mighty God

Show a little bit of love and kindness
Never go along with hatred's blindness
Take a little time to reach for joy
and wear a happy face

Sing a little bit when days are dreary
Give a little help to a friend who's weary
That's the way to make the world
A happy place

Sing a song
Spread some cheer
There are sad and lonely
People everywhere

Be a friend
Show some love
It will lift them
From the dungeons of despair

Sing a little bit when days are dreary
Give a little help to a friend who's weary
That's the way to make the world
A happy place


That's what we all do here!

 

[Lanshark]

It is wonderful coming to this place when I need words (songs) of encouragement.
This song really touched my heart in Bible Study today.


Here I am Lord

I, the Lord of sea and sky,
I have heard My people cry.
All who dwell in dark and sin,
My hand will save.
I who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear My light to them?
Whom shall I send?

Chorus:
Here I am Lord, Is it I Lord?
I have heard You calling in the night.
I will go Lord, if You lead me.
I will hold Your people in my heart.


I, the Lord of snow and rain,
I have born my peoples pain.
I have wept for love of them, They turn away.
I will break their hearts of stone,
Give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak My word to them,
Whom shall I send?

(Chorus)
I, the Lord of wind and flame,
I will tend the poor and lame.
I will set a feast for them,
My hand will save
Finest bread I will provide,
Till their hearts be satisfied.
I will give My life to them,
Whom shall I send?

CRB, that is so true!

Lanshark, what a beautiful song!

I, too, am so thankful for this "place of refuge". And I want to thank everyone who posts here and makes it what it is!

 

[CRB#33]

I'm singing "Amazing Grace" tomorrow at a funeral for a dear friend who passed this week. He was in the choir with me and when I first started attending this church he would always come up to me, every Sunday, every Thursday at practice, welcome me, tell me how much he loved to hear me sing and was just a sweet old man.

I will miss him.

I'm honored to be singing for him.

AMAZING GRACE

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
was blind but now I see

Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come
Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail
And mortal life shall cease
I shall possess, within the veil
A life of joy and peace

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we'd first begun

Until we meet again, Art.

{{hugs}} CRB. Times like these can be so hard. I'm so thankful we don't have to face anything alone.
What a beautiful song.

In times like these you need a Savior,
In times like these you need and anchor;
Be very sure, be very sure Your anchor holds and grips the Solid rock!
This Rock is Jesus, Yes, He's the One;
This Rock is Jesus, The only One!
Be very sure, be very sure Your anchor holds and grips the Solid rock!

In times like these you need the Bible,
In times like these O be not idle;
Be very sure, be very sure Your anchor holds and grips the Solid rock!
This Rock is Jesus, Yes, He's the One;
This Rock is Jesus, The only One!
Be very sure, be very sure Your anchor holds and grips the Solid rock!

In times like these I have a Savior,
In times like these I have an anchor
I'm very sure, I'm very sure My anchor holds and grips the Solid rock!
This Rock is Jesus, Yes, He's the One;
This Rock is Jesus, The only One!
I'm very sure, I'm very sure My anchor holds and grips the Solid rock!

For all of those who have had a Dear One go home to be with the Lord...

You Don't Leave Me Lonely/Bryan Duncan

I know you had to leave us for heaven
It's alright
The living here ain't easy to take now
But it's alright
Don't matter 'cause I will never lose the joy you've given me
Wish I could have told you so
Just once before God set you free
Let it be 'cause

You
(Don't leave me lonely)
No you leave me
(Longing for you)
You
(Don't leave me lonely, oh no)
I'm longing for you

We could have spent more time together
(It's alright, alright)
The things I could have said, now I'll never
It's alright
Don't worry, child
I believe the prayer we prayed for a brighter day
This is why we build our faith on someone
Who never fades away
I'm here to say that

You
(Don't leave me lonely)
No you leave me
(I'm longing for you)
And you
(Don't leave me lonely, oh no)
Longing for you
(Don't leave me lonely)
Don't leave me lonely
(I'm longing for you)
And you
(Don't leave me lonely)
Oh no, and I'm longing for you

Jesus, keep my longing heart from breaking clean in two
Oh, stand by me, Lord, and help me see this through
'Cause a Father knows how bad it feels to lose someone
To lose someone
To lose a son like you

You
(Don't leave me lonely)
No you leave me
(I'm longing for you)
And you
(Don't leave me lonely, oh no)
Longing for you
(Don't leave me lonely)
Don't leave me lonely
(I'm longing for you)
And you
(Don't leave me lonely)
Oh no, and I'm longing for you

I'm praying for you, today, CRB. {{{HUGS}}}
