Hi Jill!

Steph, I think the Newsboys has some great music! Good to see you.

Hi JC2!!

My boyfriend recently bought a Newsboys remixed cd, and it blew me away. I had no idea that he owned all of them. They are on my top played list right now

I have to admit, these songs are wonderful in helping me out right now...going through some tough personal times. I know that all things are in the hands of God, and He will help me through!

Yes, He will! And we are here, too

Hi CS! I love the words to Restore My Soul.

JC2: I'm realy liking Stacie Orrico and that song is so pretty

another one by her


Holdin' On

Sometimes the pleasures I see in this world
look so attractive to me
some days I'm driven by the things that I want
more than the things that I need
when I'm weakest
they sparkle the brightest its true
but they'll never shine brighter than you
when my is uncertain
my heart keeps holdin on

my heart keeps holdin on to you
my keep holdin on
holdin on to you

my eyes deceive me and turn away
to the places that I left behind
cant trust these voices that lead me a stray
always confusing my mind
but the truth is
you've captured my heart I know
and there's no way ill ever let go
when my mind is uncertain
my heart keeps holdin on

my heart keeps holdin on to you
my keep holdin on
holdin on to you

my clinging to you
is really you embracing me
my clinging to you
is really you embracing me

my heart keeps holdin on to you
my keep holdin on
holdin on to you

It Is You/Newsboys

As we lift up our hands
Will you meet us here?
As we call on your name
Will you meet us here?
We have come to this place
To worship you
God of mercy and grace

It is you
We adore
It is you
Praises are for
Only you
The heaven's declare
It is you
It is you

Holy, holy is our God Almighty
Holy, holy is his name alone
Holy, holy is our God Almighty
Holy, holy is his name alone


Adoration/Newsboys

I’m here with the others
Who saw the heavens testify
Now I hang back in the shadows
I want to come close
I want to know
She sees me shivering here
She smiles and with a nod
I walk through the mud and straw
To the newborn Son of God

Come, let us adore Him
He has come down to this barren land
Where we live
And all I have to give Him
Is adoration

He raises a wrinkled hand
Through the dust and the flies
Wrapped in rags like we are
And with barely open eyes
He takes my finger
And He won’t let go
And He won’t let go
It’s nothing like I knew before
And it’s all I need to know

Come, let us adore Him
He has come down to the world we live in
And all I have to give Him
Is adoration

God is with us here
Our Immanuel
God is with us here
Our Immanuel

O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
Jesus, our Immanuel
Is with us here and He won’t let go

 

[Otto's Doll]

Would you be free from the burden of sin?
There’s power in the blood, power in the blood;
Would you o’er evil a victory win?
There’s wonderful power in the blood.

There is power, power, wonder working power
In the blood of the Lamb;
There is power, power, wonder working power
In the precious blood of the Lamb.

Would you be free from your passion and pride?
There’s power in the blood, power in the blood;
Come for a cleansing to Calvary’s tide;
There’s wonderful power in the blood.

There is power, power, wonder working power
In the blood of the Lamb;
There is power, power, wonder working power
In the precious blood of the Lamb.

Would you be whiter, much whiter than snow?
There’s power in the blood, power in the blood;
Sin stains are lost in its life giving flow.
There’s wonderful power in the blood.

There is power, power, wonder working power
In the blood of the Lamb;
There is power, power, wonder working power
In the precious blood of the Lamb.

Would you do service for Jesus your King?
There’s power in the blood, power in the blood;
Would you live daily His praises to sing?
There’s wonderful power in the blood.

There is power, power, wonder working power
In the blood of the Lamb;
There is power, power, wonder working power
In the precious blood of the Lamb.

Christ of Hope: Michelle Tumes



As I travel far from kinships

As I wander far from home

May He grace you with His favor

And breathe the fragrance of His love



May His angels watch and keep you

As you slumber through the night

The gentle hand of God will touch you

As He wakes you with the morning light



May He bring you hope

Hope you've never, never known

May the Christ of hope

Embrace you evermore

 

[CourtasanSatine]

King of My Heart: Michelle Tumes





All the castles underneath the sky

Fit with kings and rulers

Could never measure all this glory inside

It makes me sing when we're together

Oh, and His words igniting power

Oh, His sweetness fills my hours

All that You are, all that You do

Like mountains of treasure

Like an ocean of jewels

You rule all the stars

Make me brand new

I love You forever

You're the King of my heart



You could tell the finest fairy tale

Where peace rules in the kingdom

And I would tell you this is how I feel

'Cause He reigns with love and wisdom

Oh, and He hears every whisper

Oh, He cares for every creature

You're the King, You're the King of my heart

Above everything You're the King of my heart

yeah

You're the King, You're the King of my heart

Above everything You're the King of my heart

I'd like to say that I've been enjoying the season, rather than just enduring it, but that wouldn't be completely true. I am looking forward to our 11pm Christmas Eve service tonight --- I went back to my pre-divorce church (even if ex is there) and I've rejoined the choir. I couldn't stand the thought of missing all of that wonderful brass, tympani, pipe organ and choral music.

Plus, both of my sons are home from college and I'm so excited to see them open their presents tomorrow. Lots of surprises in store! BUT I know at some point they'll have to leave to go to their Dad's and I'll be alone. Hard to take on such a family day.

Blessings and my prayers for a joyous day are with all of you!

I HEARD THE BELLS ON CHRISTMAS DAY

I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

And in despair I bowed my head
“There is no peace on earth,” I said,
“For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.”

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
“God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth, good will to men.”

 

[JC2]

Edie, I have never actually read the words to that song. Wow, it says so much. I love that last stanza!
{Hugs}Edie. I pray for you to have peace and true joy this Christmas more than you have ever known it. There are so many people who care.
Enjoy your time with you boys! And have a great service tonight. What an amazing Gift we have to celebrate!

My Jesus
My Savior
Lord there is none like You
All of my days
I want to praise
The wonders of Your mighty love

My Comfort
My Shelter
Tower of Refuge and Strength
Let every breath
All that I am
Never cease to worship You

Shout to the Lord
All the earth let us sing
Power and Majesty
Praise to the King
Mountains bow down
And the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name
I sing for joy at the works of Your hand
Forever I'll love You
Forever I'll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You!</Font>

 

[Otto's Doll]

Love that song, JC!

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains.

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ Whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

See Him in a manger laid,
Whom the choirs of angels praise;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While our hearts in love we raise.

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

O come, O come, Emmanuel

O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!

O come, Thou wisdom from on high,
And order all things, far and nigh;
to us the path of knowledge show,
And cause is in her ways to go.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!

O come, Desire of nations, bind
All peoples in one heart and mind;
Bid envy, strife, and quarrels cease;
Fill the whole world with heaven’s peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!

O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death’s dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!

A Blessed and Mery Christmas wish for all the so very nice people who frequent this thread. It is always so uplifting to drop by and just read sometimes, maybe add a song now and then. I really appreciate all your singing here, please keep it up, singing those praises and joys and hymns. And thanks, Jen, for starting this so long ago, now on its 2nd, maybe third thread.

Maybe you might like this song (click), playing in the background. I think it one of my favorites of the season and just posted the lyrics a few days ago here.

Again, God bless, a Merry and Blessed Christmas and Holiday Season to everyone.

Hugs and love,

Dan

 

[JC2]

Hi Tash, CRB, cheeringmom, and Dan! I truly appreciate you guys and all of the love and joy you bring to this thread.

<Font color="red">Merry Christmas!</Font>

Dan, that is such a beautiful version of O Holy Night!

 

[Saphire]

This is my favorite Christmas song right now, and I would like to share it with all of you;

Of the Father's love begotten,
Ere the worlds began to be,
He is Alpha and Omega,
He the source, the ending he.
Of the things that are, that have been,
And that future years shall see,
Evermore and evermore!

O that birth for ever blessed,
When the virgin, full of grace,
By the Holy Ghost conceiving,
Bare the Saviour of our race;
And the Babe, the world's Redeemer,
First revealed his sacred face,
Evermore and evermore!

O ye heights of heav'n adore Him;
Angels hosts, His praises sing;
Powers, dominions, bow before Him,
And extol our God and King;
Let no tongue on earth be silent,
Every voice in concert ring,
Evermore and evermore!

Christ, to thee with God the Father,
And, O Holy Ghost, to thee,
Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving,
And unwearied praises be:
Honor, glory, and dominion,
And eternal victory,
Evermore and evermore! Amen.

 

[Talking Hands]

This is my favorite both to sing and to interpret.

I Have Seen the Light

I was a seeker for a light in a dark world.

I looked for truth, but settled for lies.

I had been blinded. I couldn’t see

‘til a star in Bethlehem’s sky opened my eyes.

I have seen the light

Shining in the darkness,

Bursting through the shadows,

Delivering the dawn.

I have seen the light

Whose holy name is Jesus

His kingdom is forever.

He reigns on heaven’s throne.

There in a manger, an innocent baby

Who would believe he was the one?

I can believe it. I know it’s true.

He changed my life,. He is the light

He is God’s Son!

I have seen the light shining in the darkness

Bursting through the shadows, delivering the dawn.

I have seen the light whose holy name is Jesus.

His kingdom is forever. He reigns on heaven’s throne.

We must tell the world what we’ve seen this day in Bethlehem.

He’s the promised king, we bow down and worship Him.

We will worship Him. Worship Christ the King.

I have seen the light shining in the darkness

Bursting through the shadows delivering the dawn.

I have seen the light whose holy name is Jesus

His kingdom is forever, He reigns on heaven’s throne.

Glory to God in the highest!

I have seen the light of Jesus

I have seen the light of the lord

I have seen the light of Jesus

I have seen the light

I have seen the light of the Lord!

O Holy Night(Josh Groban version)

O holy night!
The stars are brightly shining.
It is the night
Of OUR dear Savior's birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appear'd and the soul felt His worth.
A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees,
Oh hear the angel voices;
Oh night divine,
Oh night when Christ was born,
Oh night divine, Oh night , Oh night divine.
?
Chains shall He break
For the slave is our brother,
And in His name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy
In grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord, let ever ever praise Thee
Noel, Noel
Oh night, Oh night divine,
Noel, Noel
Oh night, Oh night divine.
Noel, Noel
Oh night, Oh, Oh night divine
