Standng here in the presence
Of something more than merely real
There are no words to describe You
Or explain the way I feel

As You speak, I find healing for my soul
And Your touch alone can make me whole

And my heart cries Holy
And my spirit feels the change
As my heart cries Holy
I will never be the same

Your mercies toward me last forever
Your faithfulness is true
And as You touch the coal to my lips
My mind is made brand new

I could never repay all that You have done
So use my life to the glory of Your Son

Everything inside me
Everything untrue
Oh Lord I surrender
All of it to You!

And my heart cries Holy
And my spirit feels the change
As my heart cries Holy
I will never be the same

It's all about You Jesus
And all this is for You
For Your glory and Your fame
It's not about me
As if You should do things my way
You alone are God
And I surrender to Your way

Jesus Lover of my soul
All consuming fire is in Your gaze
Jesus I want You to know
I will follow You all my days
For no one else in history is like You
And history itself belongs to You
Alpha and Omega You have loved me
And I will spend eternity with You

It's all about You Jesus
And all this is for You
For Your glory and Your fame
It's not about me
As if You should do things my way
You alone are God
And I surrender to Your way

Just want to say thanks to all of you who have held me up this weekend with your prayers, your PMs and your good thoughts. It's been tough -- yesterday would have been my 23rd wedding anniversary. Instead, tomorrow is the 2 year anniversary of my husband walking out on my sons and me.

BUT God has been faithful in walking through this valley with me. And even though I still don't see the light at the end of the tunnel, I know it's going to be there and even more glorious than I can imagine!

So, thanks again for lifting me up and being there for me. How amazing that total strangers can care so much!!

DRAW ME CLOSE

Michael W. Smith - DRAW ME CLOSE
From the album - WORSHIP
Label - Reunion (2001)

Draw me close to You
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear You say that I’m Your friend
You are my desire
No one else will do
Cause nothing else could take Your place
To feel the warmth of Your embrace
Help me find the way
Bring me back to You

chorus:
You’re all I want
You’re all I’ve ever needed
You’re all I want
Help me to know You are near


Hugs and prayers for all of you!!
Edie

This thread is just amazing. I have spent a lot of time in the last 2 days reading each post. To hear God's Words spoken, prayed and sung is such a blessing.

This is the air I breathe
This is the air I breathe
Your holy presence
Living in me

This is my daily bread
This is my daily bread
Your very word
Spoken to me

And I, I'm desperate for You
And I, I'm lost without You

Hi CS!

Edie, God is awesome!

Jeanne, I love love love that song and can't tell you how happy I am that you're here and that you posted!

 

[Otto's Doll]

Men of faith rise up and sing
Of the great and glorious King
You are b when you feel weak
In your brokeness complete

Shout to the North and the South
Sing to the East and the West
Jesus is saviour to all
Lord of heaven and earth

Rise up women of the truth
Stand and sing to broken hearts
Who can know the healing power
Of our awesome King of love

We've been through fire we've been
through rain
We've been refined by the power of his name
We've fallen deeper in love with you
You've burned the truth on our lips

Rise up church with broken wings
Fill this place with songs again
Of our God who reigns on high
By His grace again we'll fly

The Word/by Sara Groves


I've done every devotional,
been every place emotional
Trying to hear a new word from God,
and I think it's very odd
That while I attempt to help myself,
My Bible sits upon my shelf
With every promise I could ever need

And the Word was, and the Word is, and the Word will be.

And the Word was, and the Word is, and the Word will be.

People are getting fit for truth
Like they're buying a new tailored suit
Does it fit across the shoulders,
Does it fade when it gets older?
We throw ideas that aren't in style
in the Salvation Army pile
And search for something more to meet our needs


And the Word was, and the Word is, and the Word will be.

And the Word was, and the Word is, and the Word will be.


I think it's time I rediscover
All the ground that I have covered
Like - seek ye first - what a verse.
We are pressed but not crushed,
Perplexed but don't despair,
We are persecuted but not abandoned.
We are no longer slaves
We are daughters and sons
and when we are weak we are very strong.
And neither death nor life
nor present nor future
Nor depth nor height can keep us
from the love of Christ.

And the Word I need, is the Word that was
That put on flesh to dwell with us.
In the beginning...

And the Word was, and the Word is, and the Word will be.

And the Word was, and the Word is, and the Word will be.

Welcome Otto's Doll! So glad you're here and posting such great songs. YAY! Yet another Pennsylvanian!

 

[Otto's Doll]

Hi Jillyfish,
love your name. I used to be called jellybean (rhymed with my name, Jeanne. Jeanne, Jeanne, the jelly bean according to my big brothers!)

Where in PA are you located? I am in Matamoras, right over the NY, NJ, PA border in Northeastern PA.

I think this thread is the greatest! So cool to be giving God the glory everywhere we are!

[Otto's Doll]

And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it. Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now glory be to God! By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope. May he be given glory in the church and in Christ Jesus forever and ever through endless ages. Amen. Eph 3:17

Your love Oh Lord
Reaches to the heavens
Your faithfulness
Stretches to the sky
Your righteousness
Is like the mighty mountains
Your justice rolls
Like the ocean's tide

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

Your love Oh Lord
Reaches to the heavens
Your faithfulness
Stretches to the sky
Your righteousness
Is like the mighty mountains
Your justice rolls
Like the ocean's tide

Just had to share! I found a wonderful book that has really helped the fill up the hole in my heart from my separation/impending divorce. It's by Kay Arthur and titled "Lord, Heal My Hurts." Wow!

Here's what I'm singing today,

THE HEART OF WORSHIP

Michael W. Smith - THE HEART OF WORSHIP
From the album - WORSHIP
Label - Reunion (2001)

When the music fades
And all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing to just bring something that’s of worth
That will bless Your heart

chorus
I’ll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself is not what You have required
You search much deeper within through the things appear
You’re looking into my heart
I’m coming back to the heart of worship
And it’s all about You
It’s all about You, Jesus

I’m sorry, Lord, for the thing I’ve made it
When it’s all about You
It’s all about You, Jesus
King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve
Though I’m weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Ev’ry single breath

Have a wonderful, prayer-filled day!

In Him,
Edie

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



repeat chorus


This has been all over the radio here in the last couple of weeks and I find myself humming along half the time
