Listen To Our Hearts-Geoff Moore

How do you explain, how do you describe

a love that goes from East to West and runs deep as it wide

You know all our hopes, Lord, you know all our fears

and words can-not express the love we feel, but we long for you hear



Chorus:

So listen to our hearts, Hear our spirits sing

a song of praise that flows, from those you have redeemed

We will use the words we know to tell You what an awesome God You are

But words are not enough to tell you of our love, so listen to our hearts



If words could fall like rain, from these lips of mine

and if I had a thousand years I would still run out of time;

So if you listen to my heart every beat will say

thank you for the life, thank you for the truth, thank you for the way

Your Love, oh Lord
Reaches to the heavens
Your faithfulness stretches to the sky
Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains
Your justice flows like the ocean's tide

I will lift my voice
To worship You, my King
I will find my strength
In the shadow of Your wings

Once there was a holy place
Evidence of God's embrace
And I can see mercy's face
Pressed against the veil

Looking down with longing eyes
Mercy must have realized
That once His blood was sacrificed
Freedom would prevail

And as the sky grew dark
And the earth began to shake
With justice no longer in the way

Mercy came running
Like a prisoner set free
Past all my failures to the point of my need
When the sin that I carried
Was all I could see
And when I could not reach mercy
Mercy came running to me

Once there was a broken heart
Way to human from the start
And all the years left it torn apart
Hopeless and afraid

Walls I never meant to build
Left this prisoner unfulfilled
Freedom called but even still
It seemed so far away

I was bound by the chains
From the wages of my sin
Just when I felt like giving in

Mercy came running
Like a prisoner set free
Past all my failures to the point of my need
When the sin that I carried
Was all I could see
And when I could not reach mercy
Mercy came running to me

Sometimes I still feel so far
So far from where I really should be
He gently calls to my heart
Just to remind me

Mercy came running
Like a prisoner set free
Past all my failures to the point of my need
When the sin that I carried
Was all I could see
And when I could not reach mercy
Mercy came running to me

Wonderful/ Bryan Duncan

When my face is long and my heart is heavy
It's when I hang my head that I call on you, mm
'Cause I find you gracious and never hurried
I guess Isaiah said it best about you, it rings true

(Your name is wonderful)
Yes, I know, so I say
(I know your praise is due)
Where? From the congregation
(Your name is wonderful)
Well, I , I know it
(Almighty God it's You)
That's gonna see me through

When I close my eyes 'cause I just can't take no more
And I'm losing faith in the human race, yeah
When I look around, no one's there to save me
I know I've always got your guarantee

And I say
(Your name is wonderful)
Oh, I know it's true, yeah
(I know your praise is due)
Ha! From the congregation
(Your name is wonderful)
Mm, mm, I know it!
(Almighty God it's You)
That's gonna see me through

Alright, clap a little bit!
Whoa, ha!
Yeah, ah, ah, alright
Let's break it on down
Break it down right here!

(Your name is wonderful)
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
[scat singing]
(Your name is wonderful)
Alright, I'm feelin' a little stronger, yeah!
(Your name is wonderful)
Wah, ha! Ha ha!
(Your name is wonderful)
That's alright with me, man, I can sing that too, if you want to!

It's when I close my eyes 'cause I can't take no more
That you lift my hands and my point of view, yeah
Then you fill my soul, send my spirit right through the roof
I can't believe that everybody don't know you well

(Your name is wonderful)
Yes, I know, so I say
(I know your praise is due)
Where? From the congregation
(Your name is wonderful)
Well, I , I know it
(Almighty God it's You)
That's gonna see me through

Show me Your ways

My ways are not Your ways

Come, thou fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it,
Mount of Thy redeeming love.

Here I raise my Ebenezer;
Hither by Thy help I'm come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wand'ring from the fold of God.
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.

O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wand'ring heart to thee.

Prone to wander Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart, take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.

Prone to wander Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart, take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.</Font>

The world's shaking with the love of God
Great and glorious, let the whole earth sing
And all you ever do is change the old for new
People we believe that

God is bigger than the air I breathe
The world we'll leave
God will save the day and all will say
My glorious!

Clouds are breaking, heaven's come to earth
Hearts awakening let the church bells ring
And all you ever do is change the old for new
People we believe that

God is bigger than the air I breathe
The world we'll leave
God will save the day and all will say
My glorious!</Font>

 

[CRB#33]

Hey everyone!

I'm heading to WDW in a few days and I just wanted to pop in and tell you all to have a wonderful Easter week.

What a mixture of emotions this week brings. The horrible pain of the glorious sacrifice that our Lord made and the mighty joy of His resurrection. ALL FOR US!!!!

CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST-Phillips, Craig & Dean

When I look back at what I thought was living
I'm amazed at the price I chose to pay
And to think I ignored what really mattered
'Cause I thought the sacrifice would be too great
But when I finally reached the point of giving in
I found the cross was calling even then
And even though it took dying to survive
I've never felt so much alive

For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live
Not I, but Christ that lives within me
His cross will never ask for more than I can give
For it's not my strength but His
There's no greater sacrifice
For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live

As I hear the Savior call for daily dying
I will bow beneath the weight of Calvary
Let my hands surrender to His piercing purpose
That holds me to the cross yet sets me free
I will glory in the power of the cross
The things I thought were gain I count as loss
And with His suffering I identify
And by His resurrection power I am alive

For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live
Not I, but Christ that lives within me
His cross will never ask for more than I can give
For it's not my strength but His
There's no greater sacrifice
For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live

And I will offer all I have
So that His cross is not in vain
For I've found to live is Christ
And to die is truly gain

For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live
Not I, but Christ that lives within me
His cross will never ask for more than I can give
For it's not my strength but His
There's no greater sacrifice
For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live

 

[Saphire]

Hey, CRB, have a wonderful trip and a blessed Easter week, too! I love the words to the song you posted. Here is a beautiful hymn we are practicing for Palm Sunday:

O sacred Head, now wounded, with grief and shame weighed down,
Now scornfully surrounded with thorns, Thine only crown;
How pale Thou art with anguish, with sore abuse and scorn!
How does that visage languish, which once was bright as morn!

What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered, was all for sinners' gain;
Mine, mine was the transgression, but Thine the deadly pain.
Lo, here I fall, my Savior! 'Tis I deserve Thy place;
Look on me with Thy favor, assist me with Thy grace.

What language shall I borrow to thank Thee, dearest friend,
For this Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end?
O make me Thine forever, and should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never outlive my love to Thee.

 

[JC2]

Hey CRB and Saphire!! Great songs!

CRB, have a wonderful time at WDW!

Flood-Jars of Clay

Rain, rain on my face
It hasn't stopped raining for days
My world is a flood
Slowly I become one with the mud

[Chorus:]

But if I can't swim after forty days
and my mind is crushed by the thrashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
Lift me up
Lift me up - when I'm falling
Lift me up - I'm weak and I'm dying
Lift me up - I need you to hold me
Lift me up - Keep me from drowning again

Downpour on my soul
Splashing in the ocean, I'm losing control
Dark sky all around
I can't feel my feet touching the ground

[Chorus]

Calm the storms that drench my eyes
Dry the streams still flowing
Cast down all the waves of sin
And guilt that overthrow me

[Chorus]

Lift me up - when I'm falling
Lift me up - I'm weak and I'm dying
Lift me up - I need you to hold me
Lift me up - Keep me from drowning again

CS, I love that song!!

Light of the world You stepped out into darkness
Opened my eyes, let me see
Beauty that made this heart adore You
Hope of a life spent with You

So here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're alltogether lovely
Alltogether worthy
Alltogether 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

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

I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross
I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross

Jesus, I worship
I bow down
I say that You're my God
You're alltogether lovely
Alltogether worthy
Alltogether wonderful to me</Font>

[Hemi-mom]

"I thank my God everytime I remember you. In all my prayers, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it until the day of Christ Jesus. It is right for me to feel this way about you, since I have you in my heart;"

"God can testify how I long for you with all of the affection of Christ Jesus. And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the Day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ-to the glory and praise of God."

"If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any fellowship from the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himslef nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death-even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the Glory of God the Father!" Philippians 1:3-11; 2:1-11
