Probably my fav or all time! By Babbie Mason

Verse 1
In the parking lot of the coffee shop
Just the other day
She smiled and she said, "Well I'm doin' okay"
But I felt her pain
I took her hand in mind
Said, "It's gonna work out fine"
But as she turned I wondered
Did I just hand her a line

Verse 2
What she needed most was a word of hope
And a prayer or two
A little more time and a timely word
Could have pulled her through
So I think of her
And I wonder too
Is anybody hurting
And sitting right next to you

Chorus
Shine the light, share the faith
Show the world that Jesus is the answer
That Jesus is the way
Together we can make a difference
Be a beacon in the dark of night
Share your faith
Hold it high
Shine the light

Verse 3
Anywhere you go, any country road
Or city street
Any lonely life, a hurting heart
Somebody in need
They all ask one thing
Where is love and truth
But if you know Jesus
Then you know what to do

Chorus

Bridge
Let your light so shine
So everybody will see Jesus
Let your light so shine
To glorify your Father in Heaven

Chorus

 

[Princess Michelle]

Phil, if you know what you'll be wearing that day let us know so we can look for you!

Fur, ncgolfer, great songs! I haven't heard anything from Babbie Mason in forever!

I wanted to ask you guys to pray for my friend Christine's little brother, Brodey and for her family. He left today for Fallujah, please pray for his safety and for his family's peace of mind.

 

[JC2]

Hey Michelle! I will pray for Christine, Brodey, and their family.

Hey ncgolfer

I want the joy of the Lord to come down
I want the joy of the Lord to fall now
I want the joy of the Lord in my life
I want the joy of the Lord to lift me
I want the joy of the Lord to change me
I want the joy of the Lord in my life

It's time I started dancing over all my graves
It's time I gave you Oh my God the highest praise
It's time to lift my voice
I'm gonna beg for this blessing to fall!

I want the joy of the Lord to come down
I want the joy of the Lord to fall now
I want the joy of the Lord in my life
I want the joy of the Lord to lift me
I want the joy of the Lord to change me
I want the joy of the Lord in my life

I want the love of the Lord to come down
I want the love of the Lord to fall now
I want the love of the Lord in my life
I want the love of the Lord to lift me
I want the love of the Lord to change me
I want the love of the Lord in my life

I want the freedom of the Lord to come down
I want the freedom of the Lord to fall now
I want the freedom of the Lord in my life
I want the freedom of the Lord to lift me
I want the freedom of the Lord to change me
I want the freedom of the Lord in my life

 

[JC2]

I am standing beneath your wings
I am resting in your shelter
Your great faithfulness has been my shield
And it makes me want to sing

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be the name of the Lord
I will bless Your holy name for all my days
Blessed be the name of the Lord

I sing praises to Your name oh Lord
For You daily bear my burdens
Your great faithfulness is my reward
And it makes me want to sing

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be the name of the Lord
I will bless Your holy name for all my days
Blessed be the name of the Lord

 

[JC2]

No more wasting time
The days are nearly over
Our Groom is quickly coming
He greets us with a kiss
And says you have been chosen
For such a time as this

I choose to follow You
Forsaking all I know
Taking up my cross
And if I die, I die
To find my life in You
Lord this is my cry

 

[EdiePA]

but it's one of the only Christian forums where I feel I can get an unbiased answer.

Many of you have been with me through my husband's affair and then finally, last May, our divorce. I didn't want this or ask for it, but I'm trying to go on with my life. Maybe I was naive, but at first, we thought I could continue to attend the same church. Well, this week something happened this week and I don't think I'll be able to continue there.

I found out that my Ex-husband has been asked to be a Christian mentor for one of the seventh graders who will be going through confirmation. I really have a problem with this. First, they put the adulterer on the pulpit as a lay-leader, now this. This church has a history of letting the adulterers stay and basically the wounded spouse leaves. I guess I've just become one of the walking wounded.

Should this bother me??

Thanks for any help,
Edie

 

[JC2]

Edie, I honestly do not know how to respond/what the answer is to your question.
I do want to say that I am sorry that you have been/are going through so much hurt and pain. I really do care. I don't want you to ever feel like you are alone. There are so many people on this thread who care a lot about you. Please know that. And I pray that the peace and joy and strength of Jesus will be soooo real to you and that you will always know how much He loves you.

to you Edie

 

[EdiePA]

I didn't mean to be a thread killer -- thanks to those who responsed, though.


WORD OF GOD SPEAK

Mercy Me

I’m finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is, it’s OK
The last thing I need is to be heard
But to hear what You would say

chorus
Oh Word of God speak
Would You pour down like rain
Washing my eyes to see
Your majesty
To be still and know
That You’re in this place
Please let me stay and rest
In Your holiness
Word of God speak

I’m finding myself in the midst of You
Beyond the music, beyond the noise
All that I need is to be with You
And in the quiet, hear Your voice

chorus (2x)

I’m finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it’s okay

In Him,
Edie

 

[JC2]

Great song Edie!

And you're not a thread killer

 

[llyolf]

You're not a thread killer... I'm not really sure how to respond to your issue.
Speaking as a man of God, I apologize that it seems your (former) church is a "good ole boys network".

Thanks,
Paul

 

[JC2]

When I think about the Lord
How He saved me
How He raised me
He filled me up with the Holy Ghost
He healed me to the uttermost
When I think about the Lord
How He picked me up and turned me around
He placed my feet on solid ground

It makes me wanna shout
Hallelujah, thank You Jesus
Lord You're worthy of all the glory
And all the honor
And all of the praise
It makes me wanna shout
Hallelujah, thank You Jesus
Lord You're worthy of all the glory
And all the honor
And all of the praise

Back In His Arms Again/Mark Schultz

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

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 never let you go
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

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 never let you go
I believe that He's wanting you to know
I believe that He'll lead you 'til you're
Back in His arms again

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

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 never let you go
I believe that He's wanting you to know
I believe that He'll lead you 'til you're
Back in His arms again

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

 

[stamper]

Hi guys!

Great singing everyone!

Michelle, how is your Grandfather?

Phil, have fun at the Super Bowl...we'll look for you. Hopeing that we'll be cheering the Patriots!!

Edie, well I'll voice my opinion. He is no role model for a seventh grader! Unless he has acknowledged his mistake and asked forgiveness....then maybe. Just MHO!

I know I've been scarce lately....busy getting ready for puppies (2 wks to go). Also, I set up a website. If any of you want to check it out and meet our furkids, here's a link. Firstl Light Samoyeds When I have puppy pix up I'll let you all know.

Casting Crowns is coming in concert! I don't know the date yet....wooohooo!!!

Take care.....

This one just came on the radio. Hadn't heard it in a while.

The End of the Beginning
David Phelps

He was born of a virgin, one holy night
in the little town of Bethlehem.
Angels gathered 'round Him, underneath the star,
singing praises to the great I AM.
He walked on the water, healed the lame,
and made the blind to see again.
And for the first time here on earth
we learned that God could be a friend.
And though He never, ever did a single thing wrong,
the angry crowd chose Him. And then He walked down
the road and died on the cross and
that was the end . . . of the beginning.

"That's not a new book, that's a Bible," he said, "and I've heard it all before. I've tried religion, its shame and guilt, and I don't need it anymore. Its superstition made up of tales just to help the weak to survive." "Let me read it again," I said, "But listen closely, this is gonna change your life."


Chorus

"The end of the beginning," he said with a smile. "What more could there be? He's dead. You said they hung Him and put nails in His hands and a crown of thorns on His head." I said, "I'll read it again, but this time there's more and I believe that this is true. His death wasn't the end, but the beginning of life, that's completed in you. Don't you see, He did all this for you?"


He was born of a virgin, one holy night,
in the little town of Bethlehem.
Angels gathered 'round Him, underneath the star,
singing praises to the great I AM.
He walked on the water, healed the lame,
and made the blind to see again.
And for the first time here on earth
did you know that God could be a friend?
And though He never, ever did a single thing wrong,
He was the one the crowd chose.
And He walked and He died,
but three days later
three days later
three days later. . .
He rose.
Three days later, He rose

"You see, He came and He lived and He died, but that was the end of the beginning."

 

[JC2]

Great songs Michelle and ncgolfer

Tasha, your website looks really good! And you definitely have some adorable pictures of Logan, Misty, and Diamond! Thanks for the link. I enjoyed looking around your site. Keep up the good work! And congratulations on the new litter!

 

[JC2]

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This corner stone this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love what depths of peace
When fears are stilled and strivings cease
My comforter my all in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorn by the ones he came to save
Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground his body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave he rose again
And as he stands in victory
Sins curse has lost its grip on me
For I am his and he is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from his hand
Till he returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand

This one makes me tear up everytime I hear it!

I Want To Be Just Like You - Phillips, Craig & Dean

He climbs in my lap for a goodnight hug
He calls me Dad and I call him Bub
With his faded old pillow and a bear named Pooh
He snuggles up close and says, "I want to be like you"
I tuck him in bed and I kiss him goodnight
Trippin' over the toys as I turn out the light
And I whisper a prayer that someday he'll see
He's got a father in God 'cause he's seen Jesus in me

Lord, I want to be just like You
'Cause he wants to be just like me
I want to be a holy example
For his innocent eyes to see
Help me be a living Bible, Lord
That my little boy can read
I want to be just like You
'Cause he wants to be like me

Got to admit I've got so far to go
Make so many mistakes and I'm sure that You know
Sometimes it seems no matter how hard I try
With all the pressures in life I just can't get it all right
But I'm trying so hard to learn from the best
Being patient and kind, filled with Your tenderness
'Cause I know that he'll learn from the things that he sees
And the Jesus he finds will be the Jesus in me
Right now from where he stands I may seem mighty tall
But it's only 'cause I'm learning from the best Father of them all

 

[JC2]

I love You Lord
And I lift my voice
To worship You
Oh my soul, rejoice
Take joy my King
In what You hear
May it be a sweet, sweet sound
In Your ear

I love You Lord
And I lift my voice
To worship You
Oh my soul, rejoice
Take joy my King
In what You hear
May it be a sweet, sweet sound
In Your ear

 

[JC2]

I will bless the Lord forever
And I will trust Him at all times
He has delivered me from all fear
And He has set my feet upon a rock
I will not be moved
And I'll say of the Lord

You are my Shield
My Strength
My Portion
Deliverer
You're my Shelter
Strong Tower
My very present Help in time of need

Whom have I in heaven but You
There's none that I desire beside You
For You have made me glad
And I'll say of the Lord

You are my Shield
You're my Strength
My Portion
Deliverer
You're my Shelter
Strong Tower
My very present Help in time of need
