Hello All!!!!!
Happy Thursday, more like Friday to me as I'm of tomorrow. We will be heading out to Cub & Family camp tomorrow afternoon for the weekend, no water, no electricity, you get the picture. What we won't do for our kids. LOL

I know 4Him didn't write this one but just listened to their version off their Hymns album and it is so beautiful. Enjoy!

It is Well - 4Him

(BTW, do you all know the story behind this hymn?)

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed his own blood for my soul.

CHORUS:
It is well
With my soul
It is well
it is well
With my soul

My sin--oh, the bliss of this glorious thought:
My sin not in part, but the whole
Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

And, Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll,
The trump shall re-sound and the Lord shall descend,
"Even, so," it is well with my soul.

CHORUS

 

[Otto's Doll]

Lord, the light of your love is shining
In the midst of the darkness, shining
Jesus, Light of the world, shine upon us
Set us free by the truth you now bring us
Shine on me, shine on me

Shine, Jesus, shine
Fill this land with the Father's glory
Blaze, Spirit, blaze
Set our hearts on fire
Flow, river, flow
Flood the nations with grace and mercy
Send forth your word
Lord, and let there be light

Lord, I come to your awesome presence
From the shadows into your radiance
By the blood I may enter your brightness
Search me, try me, consume all my darkness
Shine on me, shine on me

As we gaze on your kingly brightness
So our faces display your likeness
Ever changing from glory to glory
Mirrored here may our lives tell your story
Shine on me, shine on me

 

[Otto's Doll]

dull as dirt
you can´t assert the kind of light
that might persuade
a strict dictator to retire
fire the army
teach the poor origami
the truth is in
the proof is when
you hear your heart start asking,
"What´s my motivation?"


and try as you may, there isn´t a way
to explain the kind of change
that would make an Eskimo renounce fur
that would make a vegetarian barbecue hamster
unless you can trace this about-face
to a certain sign...

Chorus
shine
make ´em wonder what you´ve got
make ´em wish that they were not
on the outside looking bored
shine
let it shine before all men
let´em see good works, and then
let ´em glorify the Lord

out of the shaker and onto the plate
it isn´t Karma
it sure ain´t fate
that would make a Deadhead sell his van
that would make a schizophrenic turn in his crayons
Oprah freaks
and science seeks a rationale
that shall excuse
this strange behavior

when you let it shine
you will inspire
the kind of entire turnaround
that would make a bouncer take ballet
(even bouncers who aren´t happy)
but out of the glare
with nowhere to turn
you ain´t gonna learn it on "What´s My Line?"

Hi Otto's Doll!

I love the song you posted!!!! I am a huge Newsboys fan and have seen them on several occasions. Some people think their music is to liberal but I think it is fun, with a great message to boot. I teach clogging classes, competitive type, my neice and I did a duo to this one year, it was pretty cool!

Have a great weekend!!!!!

 

[live4christp1]

Good Morning all!!!!

Psalms 40:1-5
I waited patiently for the Lord, and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my foot upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth even praise unto our God; many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord. Blessed is the man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward; they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee; if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.



There is a Fountain - From 4Hims Hymns album

There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Emmanuel's veins
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains
Lose all their guilty stains
Lose all their guilty stains
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains

The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day
And there may I, though vile as he
Wash all my sins away
Wash all my sins away
Wash all my sins away
And there may I, though vile as he
Wash all my sins away

Ever since, by faith, I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply
Redeeming love has been my theme
And shall be till I die
And shall be till I die
And shall be till I die
Redeeming love has been my theme
And shall be till I die
Lose all their guilty stains
Lose all their guilty stains
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains

Here's to all our friends! So thankful for my sheltering trees, many who have prayed for me in times when I couldn't find the strength.

Sheltering Tree - Newsong

IT'S BEEN SAID A FRIEND IS LIKE A MIGHTY SHELTERING TREE
A PLACE OF REFUGE WE CAN RUN WHEN TROUBLE COMES FOR YOU AND ME
SOMEONE WE CAN COUNT ON THROUGH THE THICK AND THIN
WHEN THE STORMS OF LIFE ARE BLOWING, THERE'S JUST NOTHING LIKE A FRIEND
(THERE'S JUST NOTHING LIKE A FRIEND)

CHORUS:
WE ALL NEED SHELTERING TREES
FRIENDS IN OUR LIVES WHO'LL GET DOWN ON THEIR KNEES
AND LIFT US UP BEFORE THE KING OF KINGS
WE ALL NEED SHELTERING TREES

THERE'VE BEEN DAYS THAT I WAS SURE THAT I COULDN'T MAKE IT THROUGH
CLOUDS OF DOUBT CAME ROLLING IN AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO
I WOULD'VE GIVEN IN AND SAID I JUST CAN'T GO ON
IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR A FRIEND THAT HELPED ME TO BE STRONG
(HELPED ME TO BE STRONG)

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
YOU CAN FACE THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN AND THE CLIMB WON'T FEEL SO HIGH
OR CROSS THE DARKEST VALLEY AND IT WON'T SEEM SO WIDE
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WHEN A FRIEND IS BY YOUR SIDE

CHORUS(2x)

 

[live4christp1]

Alright DIS buddies, I need your help. I am looking for the lyrics to two Phillips, Craig & Dean songs. The titles are Blessing in the Thorn and No Matter How Long. If anyone has these, please post.

Thanks!

Cristy

 

[stamper]

Hi everyone....long time,no post!!! I have missed you guys...just been a bit busy. The puppies are now all in their new homes and God has blessed us with wonderful homes for these guys. Really nice people and we have enjoyed getting to know them. Each one was brought to us for a purpose, I'm sure. The neatest thing is that each family matched up perfectly with the puppy that went to them...I call that a "God thing"!

DH has had is hours at work brought back up to the normal amount!! The kids are looking forward to the end of school. It has been a spring filled with many blessings on many levels.

Glad to see you all here still!

 

[live4christp1]

Hi Stamper! Your dogs posted on under you handle are beautiful! What breed are they?

Good Wednesday Afternoon to everyone else!!!!!

Here's my song for the day-

Crucified With Christ - PCD

When I look back at what I thought was living
I'm amazing at the price I chose to pay
And to think I ignored what really mattered
'Cause I thought the sacrifice would be too great
But when I finally reached the point of giving in
I found the cross was calling even then
And even though it took dying to survive
I've never felt so much alive

For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live
Not I but Christ that lives within me
His cross will never ask for more than I can give
For it's not my strength but His
There's no greater sacrifice
For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live

As I hear the Savior call for daily dying
I will bow beneath the weight of Calvary
Let my hands surrender to His piercing purpose
That holds me to the cross yet sets me free
I will glory in the power of the cross
The things I thought were gain I count as loss

And with His suffering I identify
And by His resurrection power I am alive
And I will offer all I have
So that His cross is not in vain
For I've found to live is Christ
And to die is truly gain

 

[stamper]

Hi Cristy, thanks! They are Samoyeds...an Arctic breed similar to Siberian Huskies and Malamutes...but more of a people dog. Wonderful family dogs!

 

[live4christp1]

Good evening everyone! I'm off to see my wolf become a bear!

Have a wonderful evening, sing wity you tomorrow!

The Martins do a beautiful accapela version of this song

Tis So Sweet


'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
and to take him at his word;
just to rest upon his promise,
and to know, "Thus saith the Lord."
Refrain:
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust him!
How I've proved him o'er and o'er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust him more!

2. O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
just to trust his cleansing blood;
and in simple faith to plunge me
neath the healing, cleansing flood!
(Refrain)

3. Yes, 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
just from sin and self to cease;
just from Jesus simply taking
life and rest, and joy and peace.
(Refrain)

4. I'm so glad I learned to trust thee,
precious Jesus, Savior, friend;
and I know that thou art with me,
wilt be with me to the end.
(Refrain)

 

[pogopossum]

hey everybody,

went to episode iii today, and man was that a great payoff for the series. dd cried three times, it was really cute, her mother was handing her kleenexes right and left. but, we saw the trailer for the narnia movie, oh man does this look awesome or what, and when they did the aslan reveal, i could have come out of my seat. i really didn't know how i felt about disney involvement in the project, but it looks like they are getting it right. dd was really excited by it, too. they have read the book twice at school, as well as another of the series. i've got to get her to read voyage of the dawntreader, which may be my favorite.

to get to subject of the thread, those that are into christian music and narnia, look for the second chapter of acts cd, the roar of love, it is a great tribute to c s lewis.

 

[sm4987]

pogopossum, wasn't it a great movie!!! I got all excited when I saw the Chronicles of Narnia. It is my all time favorite series. DH wishes sometimes that I go to a movie and not keep finding religious themes in them!!!! I was all over Star Wars. Anyone not seen it should go. It was great

 

[live4christp1]

Everyone have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend

He Reigns - Newsboys

It’s the song of the redeemed
Rising from the African plain
It’s the song of the forgiven
Drowning out the Amazon rain
The song of Asian believers
Filled with God’s holy fire
It’s every tribe, every tongue, every nation
A love song born of a grateful choir

It’s all God’s children singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns
It’s all God’s children singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns

Let it rise about the four winds
Caught up in the heavenly sound
Let praises echo from the towers of cathedrals
To the faithful gathered underground
Of all the songs sung from the dawn of creation
Some were meant to persist
Of all the bells rung from a thousand steeples
None rings truer than this

And all the powers of darkness
Tremble at what they’ve just heard
‘Cause all the powers of darkness
Can’t drown out a single word

When all God’s children sing out
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns
All God’s people singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns

 

[JC2]

Yes He does reign!!!!!! Hey everybody!

Light of the world
You stepped out into darkness
Opened my eyes, let me see
Beauty that made this heart adore You
Hope of a life spent with You

Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me

Altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me

King of all days
Oh so highly exalted
Glorious in heaven above
Humbly You came to the earth You created
All for love's sake became poor

Jesus, here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me

Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me



Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. He came and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne. And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song:
"You are worthy to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
and with your blood you purchased men for God
from every tribe and language and people and nation.
You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God,
and they will reign on the earth."

Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they sang:
"Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and praise!"

Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing:
"To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be praise and honor and glory and power,
for ever and ever!"

The four living creatures said, "Amen," and the elders fell down and worshiped.

- from Revelation 5

 

[Otto's Doll]

AMEN, Fur!!

 

[live4christp1]

Good Tuesday Afternoon All!!!! Hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend! We had a wonderful tribute service at church Sunday Morning. Had the opportunity this year to attend the flag placement with DS cub scout troop at our National Cemetary, always very moving, also a great time to talk to DS about the sacrifice some soldiers are called to make.

My Deliverer - Rick Elias (written by Rich Mullins)

Joseph took his wife and her child and they went to Africa
To escape the rage of a deadly king
There along the banks of the Nile, Jesus listened to the song
That the captive children used to sing
They were singin'

My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by
My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by

Through a dry and thirsty land, water from the Kenyon heights
Pours itself out of Lake Sangra's broken heart
There in the Sahara winds Jesus heard the whole world cry
For the healing that would flow from His own scars
The world was singing

My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by
My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by
He will never break His promise - He has written it upon the sky
My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by

My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by
My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by
I will never doubt His promise though I doubt my heart, I doubt my eyes
My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by

My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by
My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by
He will never break His promise though the stars should break faith with the sky
My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by

My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by
My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by
My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by
My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by
My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by
My Deliverer is coming - my Deliverer is standing by

My Deliverer is coming

It's been a LOOOONG time since I've posted a song, so when I heard this one on the radio today, I decided I'd better come home and find the words!!

Hallelujahs/ Chris Rice

A purple sky to close the day
I wade the surf where dolphins play
The taste of salt, the dance of waves
And my soul wells up with hallelujahs

A lightning flash, my pounding heart
A breaching whale, a shooting star
Give testimony that you are
And my soul wells up with hallelujahs

Oh praise Him all His mighty works
There is no language where you can't be heard
Your song goes out to all the Earth
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!

O cratered moon and sparrow's wings
O thunder's boom and Saturn's rings
Unveil our Father as you sing
And my soul wells up with hallelujahs

Oh praise Him all His mighty works
There is no language where you can't be heard
Your song goes out to all the Earth
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!

The pulse of life within my wrist
A fallen snow, a rising mist
There is no higher praise than this
And my soul wells up
O my soul wells up
Yes my soul wells up with hallelujahs

Oh praise Him all His mighty works
There is no language where you can't be heard
Your song goes out to all the Earth
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!

O hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This song says exactly how I feel when ever we travel and visit a place of natural beauty....what a testimony the Creation gives of the Creator!

 

[Hemi-mom]

Hi all! Long time no post! Love the singing! Thanks for the great songs above and the "AMENS" Jeanne, Tasha and Jen!

Christy, I think you are doing a great job posting 4HIM and Newsboys! Love em, love em, love em! I DO know the story behind IT IS WELL...maybe I'll look for a printed version of it to add here. Michelle would know your Philips Craig and Dean songs I'll bet. I think it was you that asked for it.

Phil, I saw Episod III and I was glad to see it come together...but it was so dark and I was saddened to see Anakin fall even though I knew he was gonna...you know? I guess it had to leave you in such a depressing way in order to have A NEW HOPE in #4. The effects and ties together were great. I didn't realize that QuiGon was a "spirit" who advised Yoda and ObiWan to help the twins in the next trilogy. Oh well, it is SCI FI sun and I was glad we went to see it.

Well not to toot my own horn but it is my birthday and i feel blessed to be saying that God has seen me through 38 years and I give all I have to Him...as He has given me all that have...I am just giving it back!

 

[Talking Hands]

I love all of these hymns posted. I am always looking for the words to Christian music since I interpret them for the deaf. Thank you so much.
