~Stronger than Before~

I know God can heal all things...
Broken lives and broken wings..
Only He can mend a heart
That this world has torn apart
As the seasons make their turn
There's a lesson here to learn
Broken wings take time to mend
Before they learn to fly again
and on the breath of God they'll soar
They'll be stronger than before..
Don't look back into the past
What was fire now is ash
Let it all be dead and gone
The time is now for moving on
As the seasons make their turn
There's a lesson here to learn
Broken wings take time to mend
Before they learn to fly again
and on the breath of God i'll soar
I'll be stronger than before..

That has to be one of the best outdoor chores ever! I always feel like a kid again! Plus, we have buckeye trees and trying to walk on the fallen buckeyes and rake is like trying to ice skate!

Here's to a great weekend, everyone! Relax, enjoy, and find a Sabboth day for yourself!

BACK IN HIS ARMS AGAIN

Mark Schultz – BACK IN HIS ARMS AGAIN
From the album – SONG CINEMA
Label – Word (2002)

I see it in your eyes
The pain you keep inside
It’s slowly tearing you apart
Though you run away
Reminded day by day
You’ve stumbled and you’ve fallen
Still He’s calling

chorus:
I believe that He loves you where you are
I believe that you’ve seen the hands of God
I believe that you’ll know it when
You’re back in His arms again
I believe that He’s wanting you to know
I believe that He’ll lead you ‘til you’re
Back in His arms again

Glad I found you here
‘Cause in between the tears
Something in your eyes shows hope
And I stand before you now
As one that knows about
Coming to Him open and broken

chorus:

And I know that He’s callin’
He’s callin’ you home

chorus

One life, one love, one way Home
And when you rise and when you fall
He will see you through it all
He is waiting, you are called, back in His arms again

chorus

What a great song. No better place to be than in the Father's arms...

 

[Otto's Doll]

Holy, Holy, Holy

Holy, holy, holy
Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee
Holy holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in Three Persons, blessed Trinity!


Holy, holy, holy!
All the saints adore Thee
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee
Which wert and art and evermore shalt be.


Holy, holy, holy!
Though the darkness hide Thee
Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see
Only Thou art holy there is none beside Thee
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.



Holy, holy, holy!
Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy name in earth and sky and sea.
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in Three Persons, blessed Trinity!

 

[EdiePA]

I love the old hymns, too. In fact, I own two hymnals and sit at the piano and play for an hour or so.

Here's one of my favorites -- especially the last verse ....

SPIRIT OF GOD, DESCENT UPON MY HEART

Spirit of God, descend upon my heart;
Wean it from earth; through all its pulses move;
Stoop to my weakness, mighty as Thou art;
And make me love Thee as I ought to love.

I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies,
No sudden rending of the veil of clay,
No angel visitant, no opening skies;
But take the dimness of my soul away.

Teach me to feel that Thou art always nigh;
Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear.
To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh,
Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.


God is good, all the time!!

In Him,
Edie

 

[Otto's Doll]

You are my strength when I am weak
You are the treasure that I seek
You are my all in all
Seeking You as a precious Jewel
Lord, to give up I'd be a fool
You are my all in all


Jesus Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name
Jesus Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name


Taking my sin my cross my shame
Rising again I bless your name
You are my all in all
When I fall down You lift me up
When I am dry You fill my cup
You are my all in all


Jesus Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name
Jesus Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name

Mercy Me: Aurora



I know from the beginning of time

You promised me

That you'd keep me close and catch my fall

But now I see that I need more than ever

You here with me

Holding my heart through it all

My broken spirit, my wounded soul

Is more than willing to give You control



To show me how You need me

'Cause You know me better than I do

Free me from these feelings

And break the chains on my soul

Move me closer to Your heart

Change my mind and help me to see

(I need you)

Love me, hold me, mercy me



So now we pick up the pieces

And move ahead

Putting the cares of the world aside

I may stumble

But you're quick to forgive and believe in me

Oh, how You mercy me

My broken spirit, my wounded soul

Is more than willing to give You control



I confess I didn't know if You'd care

But, Lord have mercy

You will always be there

 

[JC2]

[Otto's Doll]

Morning, my brothers and sisters in Christ.

I am praying for you as I type...

Hey Heather. I am praying for you!

Hey everyone!

 

[Otto's Doll]

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Isaiah 40: 31

 

[Otto's Doll]

Come, now is the time to worship
Come now is the time to give your heart
Come just as you are to worship
Come just as you are before your God
Come



One day every tongue will confess
You are God
One day every knee will bow
Still the greatest treasure remains for those
Who gladly choose you now

 

[Princess Michelle]

Hey Everyone! I'm sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I think of you all often and pray for you daily. I love you guys!

This song has been stuck in my head all night so if I don't post it it's never gonna go away. LOL

The Devil Is Bad/O.C. Supertones

She was walkin' in the garden one day
When a snake slithered 'round her feet (slithered 'round her feet)
"Follow me right over to this tree
And I'll give you something good to eat"
"I don't know; are you sure?
I don't think it is right" (it is right)
"Doesn't matter, just open your mouth
And take a tasty bite"

She said to to him "I think it's a sin,
But boy does it look right."
He said to her "Just take my word
And I promise that you'll see the light"

Why don't you just get outa here
'Cause I don't wanna see you 'round here no more
Why don't you just get outa here
'Cause this is now and that was before

'Cause you are the devil and the devil is bad (hey)
You are the devil and the devil is bad (hey)
You are the devil and the devil is bad (hey)
You are the devil and you are bad!

Tempted Him in the desert one day
"Are you the Son of God?" (the Son of God?)
"Turn these stones into wholesome bread and make your hunger stop."
Even though His hunger had grown real strong
He turned and simply replied (and simply replied),
"Man does not live on bread alone but on the Word of God"

he turned to Him, said "Worship me
And the kingdoms of the world are yours."
"Away from me with your evil ways!
'Cause the Word says only God"

Why don't you just get outa here
'Cause I don't wanna see you 'round here no more
Why don't you just get outa here
'Cause this is now and that was before

'Cause you are the devil and the devil is bad (hey)
You are the devil and the devil is bad (hey)
You are the devil and the devil is bad (hey)
You are the devil and you are bad!


Now I guess if I wanted to be really annoying I could insert the music in here and really drive you all bonkers and get it stuck in your head too.... nah, that's just too cruel.

 

[Hemi-mom]

Hey all! Heather I'm praying for you right now...I'm lifting each one here up in prayer as well! I got this from a friend who just got his (PRAYERFULLY) final Chemo treatment this week. I hope it touches you all where ever you are today.

A PRAYER

I ASKED FOR STRENGTH THAT I MIGHT ACHIEVE
I WAS MADE WEAK THAT I MIGHT LEARN TO HUMBLY OBEY.

I ASKED FOR HEALTH THAT I MIGHT DO GREATER THINGS.
I WAS GIVEN INFIRMITY THAT I MIGHT DO BETTER THINGS.

I ASKED FOR RICHES THAT I MIGHT BE HAPPY.
I WAS GIVEN POVERTY THAT I MIGHT BE WISE.

I ASKED FOR POWER THAT I MIGHT HAVE THE PRAISE OF MEN.
I WAS GIVEN WEAKNESS THAT I MIGHT FEEL THE NEED OF GOD.

I ASKED FOR ALL THINGS THAT I MIGHT ENJOY LIFE.
I WAS GIVEN LIFE THAT I MIGHT ENJOY ALL THINGS.

I GOT NOTHING THAT I ASKED FOR, BUT EVERYTHING I HAD HOPED FOR.....

ALMOST DESPITE MYSELF, MY UNSPOKEN PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED.

ANONYMOUS.

 

[Hemi-mom]

I have a request too... My 9-year-old son Danny is going in for surgery tomorrow to have his adnoids removed and tubes put in his ears. It is a common procedure as I am sure most of you know, but he is very nervous. PLease pray for him today and tomorrwow (Friday) to have peace and for a speedy recovery...Thanks!

I'm posting this one in it's entirety for Danny...

The Final Word/4HIM

Love knows my name, sees my need, gives me hope covers me
Even through the middle of a storm,
Love has no fear, finds no blame
The truth will never change and after every voice is heard,
Love has the final word

Seems like everytime I look around
I see things I thought were kingdoms come crashing to the ground
And I can't help but wonder where I stand
Sometimes life is like a battlefied
Where I've walked among the wounderd and the scars are all too real
But I will not surrender to the pain
For what has been and what is now and what is yet to be
Gives me every reason to believe

Love knows my name, sees my need, gives me hope covers me
Even through the middle of a storm,
Love has no fear, finds no blame
The truth will never change and after every voice is heard,
Love has the final word

O, tell me what it is that I can't see
That would somehow cause a stranger to give His life for me
With nothing I could offer in return
Well I could turn around and walk away
BUt I'd have to be a fool to not accept the price He paid
Knowing it was more than I deserved
What I know and what I feel and what I can't explain
Won't erase the fact that still remains

Love knows my name, sees my need, gives me hope covers me
Even through the middle of a storm,
Love has no fear, finds no blame
The truth will never change and after every voice is heard,
Love has the final word

I know faith can move mountains
I know hope keeps us strong
But only love holds the answers to all the mysteries
That's why I believe

Love knows my name, sees my need, gives me hope covers me
Even through the middle of a storm,
Love has no fear, finds no blame
The truth will never change and after every voice is heard,
Love has the final word

 

[Hemi-mom]

Michelle...we love the Supertones (Dan more than me though... )and that song is AWESOME! Thanks for posting it!

Heart Cries Holy/Big Daddy Weave

Standing 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 soulAnd 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've done
So use my life to the Glory of Your Son

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

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

 

[JC2]

Jill, I'm praying for Danny. And I pray that the doctor's and nurses will have God's wisdom and that He will heal through their hands. And I pray for you and Dan to have peace.
