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




This song just seemed to speak to me along with "I Can Only Image" by MercyMe

I'm trading my sorrows
I'm trading my shame
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord
I'm trading my sickness
I'm trading my pain
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord

I'm singing Yes Lord, Yes Lord, Yes Yes Lord
Yes Lord, Yes Lord, Yes Yes Lord
Yes Lord, Yes Lord, Yes Yes Lord Amen

I am pressed, but not crushed
Pursecuted, not abandoned
Struck down, but not destroyed
I am blessed beyond the curse
For His promise will endure
That His joy's gonna be my strength
Though the darkness may last for the night
His joy comes with the morning!

I'm trading my sorrows
I'm trading my shame
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord
I'm trading my sickness
I'm trading my pain
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord

I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord! </Font>


We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2Corinthians 4: 8, 9, 17, 18

CS, I can't believe you posted "Beauty for Ashes" yesterday. Wow, is about all I can say. I was listening to that song on the radio as I drove to work yesterday morning and when it went off they mentioned that it was the song they were playing when they got the news that the WTC had been hit. I was going to come post it yesterday because I think it is just a beautiful and appropriate song for such a devestating tragedy. I'm so glad that you posted it.

 

[CourtasanSatine]

Michelle: I had been listening to the cd with that song and something in me said to post the words Glad that I could post it

 

[Hemi-mom]

God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
O God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You

I will seek You in the morning
And I will learn to walk in Your ways
And step by step You'll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days

And I will follow You all of my days
And I will follow You all of my days
And step by step You'll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days

Hide me now
Under Your wing
Cover me
Within Your mighty hand
When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You above the storm
Father You are King above the flood
I will be still and know You are God

Find rest my soul
In Christ the Lord
Know His power
In quietness and trust
When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You above the storm
Father You are King over the flood
I will be still and know You are God

Find rest my soul
In Christ the Lord
Know His power
In quietness and trust
When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You above the storm
Father You are King over the flood
I will be still and know You are God

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You above the storm
Father You are King over the flood
I will be still and know You are God</Font>

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

 

[JC2]

Blessed be the Lord God Almighty
Who Was and Is and Is to come
Blessed be the Lord God Almighty
Who reigns forevermore

Father in heaven, how we love You
We lift Your name in all the earth
May Your kingdom be established in our praises
As Your people declare Your mighty worth

Blessed be the Lord God Almighty
Who Was and Is and Is to come
Blessed be the Lord God Almighty
Who reigns forevermore

 

[Dan Murphy]

God is Alive

--Solomon's Wish

In the dark side of my mind
Questions are like dust in the windy place
Whenever I think they've all settled down
Another breeze kicks up and blows them back in my face

And sometimes I question the reasons
What if my faith is in vain
I get so confused
I have to stop, take a look around and listen...

To the trees give a testimony
Listen to the mountains sing
That only one God could make all of this
And keep it all in place
Even the sky is a celebration
And I am a declaration
That God is alive, God is alive, and working

A new born baby's cry
Is a mother's favorite song
I hear His voice, I look in her eyes
And I just can't believe it happened all on it's own

And I know there is a reason
And I know my faith is not in vain
'Cause I can hear...

The trees give a testimony
I can hear the mountains sing
That only one God could make all of this
And keep it all in place
Even the sky is a celebration
And I am a declaration
That God is alive, God is alive, and working

 

[JC2]

Such an excellent song Dan!! Love it!

 

[Princess Michelle]

Wonderful songs everyone!

I think this one is my favorite that is out on the radio right now.

Smile (Just Want To Be With You)/Chris Rice

How far are You?
How close am I?
I know Your words are true
When I don’t feel them inside
Still I believe You’ll never leave
So where are You, now?
You’re all I have
You’re all I’ve known
Your breath is breathing in my soul
Still I am gasping, aching, asking,
Where are you now?

‘Cause I just want to be with You
I just want this waiting to be over
I just want to be with You
And it helps to know the day is getting closer
But every minute takes an hour
Every inch feels like a mile
Till I won’t have to imagine
And I finally get to see You smile

My journey’s here but my heart is there
So I dream and wait and keep the faith
While You prepare
Our destiny, till You come back for me
Oh, please make it soon!

‘Cause I just want to be with You
(I dream about Your promise to return)
I just want this waiting to be over
(And I wake up hangin’ on Your every Word)
I just want to be with You
(But for now, my feet are planted here on Earth)
And it helps to know the day is getting closer
(And it helps to know the day is getting closer)
But every minute takes an hour
Every inch feels like a mile
Till I won’t have to imagine
And I finally get to see You smile.

 

[JC2]

Hey Michelle! I haven't heard that song yet, but the words are great!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<Font color="deeppink">
I cry out
For Your hand of mercy to heal me
I am weak
I need Your love to free me

Oh Lord, my rock
My strength in weakness
Come rescue me oh Lord

You are my hope
Your promise never fails me
And my desire
Is to follow You forever

For You are good
For You are good
For You are good to me
For You are good
For You are good
For You are good to me</Font>

 

[EdiePA]

Michelle, I love that song! Chris Rice is the headliner at my DS#1's College Homecoming this year. I wish I could go, but it's the same weekend as the high school's Homecoming and DS#2 will be home for that.

I just bought Jeremy Camp's new CD "Stay". Wow! What a blessing! My favorite song on it is, "I Still Believe" and I think I've already posted the words to it. So let's sing another,

UNDERSTAND
by Jeremy Camp

Every time I fall down on my face
I see the One who bore all my shame
To know that you are everything I need you to be
You're my ever present help in time of need

I know You understand it all
So why don't I get back on my feet again
Every pain I feel inside my heart
It takes a faith to know I can't depart

To know that You hear every cry I raise to You
Bringing thoughts of hope the words I bring are few

I know You understand it all
So why don't I get back on my feet again
You hear me when I call
You're there when I fall
You hear me when I call
I know You understand it all
So why don't I get back on my feet again.


Hope everyone is having a blessed week.
In Him,

Edie

 

[Princess Michelle]

What beautiful lyrics, Edie. I don't know that I have ever heard of Jeremy Camp. He isn't related to Steve Camp is he?

How cool is that to have Chris Rice playing at your homecoming! I love his music, he writes the most amazing, deep lyrics. Every time I hear a new song from him I'm just like, yep, been there before, know how that feels and you expressed it far better than I ever could!

Hey Fur!!!!

Give us clean hands
Give us pure hearts
Let us not lift our soul to another
Give us clean hands
Give us pure hearts
Let us not lift our soul to another

Oh God let us a be
A generation that seeks
That seeks Your face, Oh God of Jacob
Oh God let us a be
A generation that seeks
That seeks Your face, Oh God of Jacob

Beautiful Sound: Newsboys

Turn the page

Can't turn the light out

Every word every line

Carries to my soul

Dark letters on a page

singing so loud

Where did I go wrong not to hear You...



Eighteen years

I guess it was alright

I let You do the thinking

I'd just bide my time

Father to son

Sunday hand me down

Where did I go wrong

Not to hear Your song



Chorus:

It's a beautiful sound

Movin' through the crowd

Voices lifted up

On high for You

It's a beautiful song

We've only just begun to understand

Rediscovering You



To have found You

And still be looking for You

It's the soul's "paradox of love"

You fill my cup

I lift it up for more

I won't stop now that I'm free

Like You chase me



Something tells me it's alright

You know it's gonna be alright



repeat chorus

 

[CourtasanSatine]

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


I figured I'll repost this since there's be interst in this last few days



repeat chorus
