Generations/Sara Groves
Inspired by Deuteronomy 11:26-28.

I can taste the fruit of Eve.
I'm aware of sickness death and disease.
The results of her choices were vast.
Eve was the first but she wasn't the last.

If I were honest with myself,
had I been standing at that tree,
my mouth and my hands would be covered with fruit.
Things I shouldn't know and things I shouldn't see. .

Chorus: Remind me of this with every decision.
Generations will reap what I sow.
I can pass on a curse or a blessing to those I will never know.

She taught us to fear the serpent.
I'm learning to fear myself
and all of the things I am capable of
in my search for acceptance, wisdom and wealth.
To say the devil made me do it
is a cop-out and a lie.
The devil can't make me do anything
when I'm calling on Jesus Christ.

Chorus: Remind me of this with every decision.
Generations will reap what I sow.
I can pass on a curse or a blessing to those I will never know.

To my great-great-great-granddaughter, live in peace. To my great-great-great-grandson, live in peace. To my great-great-great granddaughter, live in peace. To my great-great-great-grandson, live in peace, live in peace. .

Chorus: Remind me of this with every decision.
Generations will reap what I sow.
I can pass on a curse or a blessing to those I will never know.

Eve was the first but she wasn't the last.

Hey Hemi-mom!

I love the songs you posted!!!! Sara Groves was here not to long ago but we didn't get a chance to see her.

Sara Groves - The Word

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 attmept to help myself
My Bible sits upon my shelf
With every promise I could ever need

CHORUS:
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 get older
We throw ideas that aren't in style
In the Salvation Army pile
And search for something more to meet our needs

CHORUS

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
Who put on flesh to dwell with us
In the beginning

CHORUS

Happy Friday All!!!!!

Have a great weekend!


Switchfoot - Gone

She told him she'd rather fix her make-up
Than try to fix what's going on
But the problem keeps on calling
Even with the cell-phone gone

She told him that she believes in living,
Bigger than she's living now
But her world keeps spinning backwards and upside-down

Don't say so-long, you're not that far gone
Don't spend today away, 'cause today will soon be

Gone, like yesterday is gone,
Like history is gone,
Just try and prove me wrong, and pretend like you're immortal.

She said, He said, live like no tomorrow;
Every day we borrow brings us
One step closer to the edge. Infinity.
Where's your treasure, whereâ?Ts your hope,
If you get the world, and lose your soul?
She pretends like she pretends like she's immortal,

Don't say so-long, and throw yourself wrong
This could be your big chance to make-up
Today will soon be

Gone, like yesterday is gone
Like history is gone,
The world keeps spinning on
You're going, going, gone,
Like summer break is gone,
Like Saturday is gone,
Just try and prove me wrong and pretend like you're immortal

We are not infinite
We are not permanent
Nothing is immediate
And we pretend like we're immortal
We are so confident in our accomplishments
Look at our decadence

Gone, like Frank Sinatra,
Like Elvis and his mom
Like Al Pacino's cash,
Nothing lasts in this life
My high school dreams are gone
My childhood sweets are gone
Life is a day that doesn't last for long

Life is more than money
Time was never money
Time was never cash
Life is still more than girls
Life is more than hundred-dollar bills and roto-tom fills
Life is more than fame and rock and roll and thrills
All the riches of the kings end up in wills
We've got information in the information age,
But do we know what life is
Outside of our convenient Lexus cages?

She said, He said live like no tomorrow,
Every moment that we borrow brings us closer
To a God who's never been short of cash
Hey Bono, I'm glad you asked,
Life is still worth living, Life is more that we are

"Fried Ham Fried Ham
Cheese and Baloney
After the macaroni
we'll have pickles, pretzels, and onions
then we'll have some more fried ham fried ham fried ham."

(Sounds like someone wants to clog up their arteries! LOL)

I don't think I have all the words correct, but we sang something like this at GA camp! We sang it in all these funny voices.

Looks like I recalled the song mostly correctly!

FRIED HAM
Fried Ham, fried ham, cheese and bologna,
After the macaroni we'll have onions,
Pickles and pretzels and then we'll have some more
Fried ham. Fried Ham! Fried Ham!
Second verse, same as the first,
---- style, and a little bit worse.

Try baby style, English style, country style, doggie style, French style, Grandma style, and opera style

Fried Ham, fried ham, cheese and bologna,
And after the macaroni we'll add mustard, and pickles, and ketchup, And then we'l ad some more fried ham fred ham fried ham. Next verse same as the first,___________ style, a whole lot louder and a whole lot worse.
At blank add the change of style like "underwater" or "french accent"

There are a few variations of Fried Ham.

Good Morning All!!!! Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Amazing Love - Newsboys

I’m forgiven because You were forsaken
I’m accepted, You were condemned
I’m alive and well, Your Spirit is within me
Because You died and rose again

Amazing love, how can it be
That You, my King, should die for me?
Amazing love, I know it’s true
It’s my joy to honor You
In all I do, to honor You

You are my King
You are my King
Jesus, You are my King
You are my King

 

[Otto's Doll]

Cristy, I love that song!!


Revival
Robin Mark
As sure as gold is precious and the honey sweet
So You love this city and You love these streets
Every child out playing by their own front door
Every baby lying on the bedroom floor
Every dreamer dreaming in their dead-end job
Every driver driving through the rush hour mob
I feel it in my spirit feel it in my bones
You're going to send revival bring them all back home
I can hear the thunder in the distance
It's like a train on the edge of the town
I can feel the brooding of Your Spirit
Lay your burdens down
Lay your burdens down
From the preacher preaching when the well is dry
To the lost soul reaching for a higher high
From the young man working through his hopes and fears
To the widow walking through the veil of tears
Every man and woman every old and young
Every father's daughter every mother's son
I feel it in my spirit feel it in my bones
You're going to send revival bring them all back home
I can hear the thunder in the distance
It's like a train on the edge of the town
I can feel the brooding of Your Spirit
Lay your burdens down
Lay your burdens down

Good Wednesday Morning All!!!!!


Heard a song this morning on the way to work by Matthew West called "Next Thing You Know" and wanted to posted but alias, I can't find the lyrics. Then I thought since Billy Graham is doing probably his last crusade in NYC that I would post the song by Newsong "Billy Did You Know" but I can't find the lyrics for that one either.

Oh well, here is another of my favorites....enjoy!


Newsong - Nothing Without Christ

I WAS LIKE A BLIND MAN ON A ROAD THAT LED NOWHERE
JUST AN EMPTY-HEARTED BEGGAR IN DESPERATE NEED OF HELP
I WAS POOR IN SPIRIT, BUT HE WAS RICH IN LOVE
I WAS DOWN TO NOTHIN' WHEN HE CAME TO LIFT ME UP
NOW I WILL NEVER LET MYSELF FORGET ALL HE HAS DONE
HOW HE CAME AND RESCUED ME AND WHERE HE BROUGHT ME FROM

CHORUS:
I AM NOTHING WITHOUT CHRIST, HE IS EVERYTHING TO ME
HE'S THE REASON THAT I LIVE, HE IS MY ONLY NEED
I KNOW I COULDN'T MAKE IT THROUGH ONE DAY WITHOUT JESUS IN MY LIFE
I AM NOTHING, NOTHING WITHOUT CHRIST

THERE IS NOTHING GOOD IN ME THAT DID NOT COME FROM HIM
NOTHING I COULD BOAST OF THAT HE DID NOT GIVE
FROM THE MOMENT I CRIED OUT TO HIM TO HEAL MY TROUBLED SOUL
HE WELCOMED ME WITH OPEN ARMS, SAID ALL THAT'S MINE IS YOURS

NOW I WILL NEVER LET MYSELF FORGET ALL HE HAS DONE
HOW HE CAME AND RESCUED ME AND WHERE HE BROUGHT ME FROM

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
LIKE A WAVE WITHOUT A SEASHORE OR A KINGDOM WITH NO KING
WITHOUT JESUS IN MY LIFE, I KNOW I WOULDN'T BE COMPLETE

CHORUS(2x)

Good Morning Everyone!!!!

Michael O'Brien - If I Said Nothing

They say that a picture
Paints thousand of words
And actions speak volumes
Where love is concerned
I could preach you a sermon
Hoping ou would agree
But in my silence
Would you see God in me

I'm gonna give you no arguments
To try and make you believe
Just evidence
Of the changes in me

CHORUS
If I said nothing
What would it say to you
If I testified
By living the proof
If I couldn't speak the words
I'd pray the truth would be heard
What would my life say to you
If I said nothing at all

I look in the mirror
And it tells me the truth
But you see my reflection
In the things that I do
If I'm a believer
Then I'll live my beliefs
If I am a Christian
Then Christ should be seen

I'm gonna give you no arguements
To try and make you believe
Just evidence
Of the changes in me

CHORUS

Every eye will see His glorious face
Every ear will hear His voice on that day
He is Lord of all
And forever will be
But I pray that today
You'll see Him living in me

CHORUS

 

[live4christp1]

Brought and old Micheal O'Brien tape to work today to listen to.....it was recorded in 1996.....still a good tape though.

Michael O'Brien - All is Forgiven

She was caught in the middle
Of a sad tragedy
Found in the depths of her sin and her shame
An angry mob stood before her
As she fell to her knees
They were picking up the stones
And placing the blame
She was lost with fear in her eyes
Until this man named Jesus
Came and said child arise

CHORUS
All is forgiven
I've heard your plea
My grace has cleansed your heart
My love has set you free
All is forgiven
My mercy's the open door
All is forgiven
Go sin no more

I was just like the woman
Who was found on that day
Seemed there was no hope for someone like me
And I could do nothing
To wash the sin away
I was chained to the guild and longed to be free
I was so lost with fear in my eyes
Until this man named Jesus
Came and said child arise

CHORUS

 

[live4christp1]

This is playing on my radio station right now........been a while since I heard this song.....it always touches my heart so.

FFH - Lord move, or move me

I can't find the words to pray, I'm a little down today
Can you help me, can you hold me
I feel a million miles away and I don't know what to say
Can you hear me anyway
What I need is for you to reach out your hand
You taught me no matter what you'd understand
Lord, move in a way that I've never seen before
'Cause there's a mountain in the way and a lock on the door
I'm drifting away, waves are crashing on the shore
So Lord, move or move me
I've looked every where to find a simple piece of mind
But I can't find nothin' on my own
So I gotta leave myself behind, take up this cross of mine
Give away everything I hold on to
Lord, I know the only way is through this
But Lord, I know I need you to help me do this
Out of this place of complacency
To a place of fellowship with thee
'Cause I am weak, but Lord, you are so strong
And you know it's been way too long
It's been way too long

 

[live4christp1]

Good Friday Afternoon All!!!! Have a great weekend!

Newsboys - Blessed be Your Name (still on my Newsboys kick, wish they would be back in concert here soon)

blessed be Your name
in the land that is plentiful
where your streams of abundance flow
blessed be Your name

and blessed be Your name
when I'm found in the desert place
though I walk through the wilderness
blessed be Your name

Pre-Chorus:
every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
when the darkness closes in, Lord
still I will say

Chorus:
blessed be the name of the Lord
blessed be Your name
blessed be the name of the Lord
blessed be Your glorious name

and blessed be Your name
when the sun's shining down on me
when the world's 'all as it should be'
blessed be Your name

and blessed be Your name
on the road marked with suffering
though there's pain in the offering
blessed be Your name

- Pre-Chorus -

- Chorus -

BRIDGE:
You give and take away
You give and take away
my heart will choose to say
Lord blessed be Your name

I will bless Your name, Lord

[ Solo ]

- Pre-Chorus (Rebecca only) -
- Chorus (2x) -
oh, You give and take away
You give and take away
but my heart will choose to say (oh Lord!)
blessed be Your name
You give and take away
You give and take away
but my heart will choose to say (oh Lord!)
blessed be Your name

(bless...
bless Your name
bless Your name
bless...)

 

[live4christp1]

Above all powers above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began

Above all kindgoms above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasure of the earth
There's no way to measure what You're worth

Crucified laid behind a stone
You lived to die rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all

 

[pogopossum]

in honor of what might be billy's last crusade, i'll post this oldie but goodie:

Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
Yea, all I need in Thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, Thy love unknown
Hath broken every barrier down;
Now, to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, of that free love
The breadth, length, depth, and height to prove,
Here for a season, then above,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!

 

[JC2]

Cristy! Thanks for keeping the praise going! Great songs!

Phil, love that hymn.

 

[JC2]

I have to believe that He sees my darkness
I have to believe that He knows my pain
I have to lift up my hands to worship
Worship His name

I have to declare that He is my Refuge
I have to deny that I am alone
I have to lift up my eyes to the mountains
Where my help comes from

I have to stand strong when the wind blows me over
I have to stand tall when I'm weak and afraid
I have to grab hold
Hold of the garments
The garments of praise

He said that He's forever faithful
He said that He's forever true
He said that He can move mountains
If He can move mountains, He can move my mountain
And your mountain too

I have to sing praise, the hour is midnight
He unlocks these chains that bind up my soul
My sin and my shame He has forgiven
And made me whole

I have to believe
I have to believe

 

[JC2]

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

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

 

[live4christp1]

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

God's love is so amazing, no matter how many times I fail, He is faithful!

Amazing Love - Newsboys

I’m forgiven because You were forsaken
I’m accepted, You were condemned
I’m alive and well, Your Spirit is within me
Because You died and rose again

Amazing love, how can it be
That You, my King, should die for me?
Amazing love, I know it’s true
It’s my joy to honor You
In all I do, to honor You

You are my King
You are my King
Jesus, You are my King
You are my King
