I love this one! And I fing myself singing "to whom shall I fear", "cause I am yours", "I am yours"


Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You're

Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours

 

[zen1]

I love this one also and I always find myself singing along to this one....

Big House


I don't know where you lay your head
or where you call your home
I don't know where you eat your meals
or where you talk on the phone
I don't know if you got a cook
a butler or a maid
I don't know if you got a year
with a hammock in the shade

I don't know if you got some shelter
say a place to hide
I don't know if you live with friends
in whom you can confide
I don't know if you got a family
say a mom or dad
I don't know if you feel love at all
but I bet you wish you had

Come and go with me
to my Fathers house
Come and go with me
to my Fathers house

It's a big big house
with lots and lots a room
A big big table
with lots and lots of food
A big big yard
where we can play football
A big big house
Its my Fathers house

Ibidibidee bop bop bow whew! yeah!

All I know is a big ole house
with rooms for everyone
All I know is lots a land
where we can play and run
All I know is you need love
and I've got a family
All I know is your all alone
so why not come with me?

Come and go with me
to my Fathers house
Come and go with me
to my Fathers house

It's a big big house
with lots and lots a room
A big big table
with lots and lots of food
A big big yard
where we can play football
A big big house
Its my Fathers house

Come and go with me
to my Fathers house
Come and go with me
to my Fathers house

It's a big big house
with lots and lots a room
A big big table
with lots and lots of food
A big big yard
where we can play football
A big big house
Its my Fathers house

Hey Sarah! Good to see you...



I danced in the morning
When the world was begun,
And I danced in the moon
And the stars and the sun,
And I came down from heaven
And I danced on the earth,
At Bethlehem
I had my birth.

Dance, then, wherever you may be,
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he,
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be,
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said he

I danced for the scribe
And the pharisee,
But they would not dance
And they wouldn't follow me.
I danced for the fishermen,
For James and John -
They came with me
And the Dance went on.

Chorus I danced on the Sabbath
And I cured the lame;
The holy people
Said it was a shame.
They whipped and they stripped
And they hung me on high,
And they left me there
On a Cross to die.

Chorus I danced on a Friday
When the sky turned black -
It's hard to dance
With the devil on your back.
They buried my body
And they thought I'd gone,
But I am the Dance,
And I still go on.

Chorus They cut me down
And I leapt up high;
I am the life
That'll never, never die;
I'll live in you
If you'll live in me -
I am the Lord
Of the Dance, said he.

Shine, Jesus Shine

Words and Music: Graham Kendrick

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.

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.

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.

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.

For the beauty of the earth
For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies.

Lord of all, to Thee we raise,
This our hymn of grateful praise.

For the beauty of each hour,
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flower,
Sun and moon, and stars of light.

Lord of all, to Thee we raise,
This our hymn of grateful praise.

For the joy of ear and eye,
For the heart and mind’s delight,
For the mystic harmony
Linking sense to sound and sight.

Lord of all, to Thee we raise,
This our hymn of grateful praise.

For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth and friends above,
For all gentle thoughts and mild.

Lord of all, to Thee we raise,
This our hymn of grateful praise.

For Thy Church, that evermore
Lifteth holy hands above,
Offering upon every shore
Her pure sacrifice of love.

Lord of all, to Thee we raise,
This our hymn of grateful praise.

For the martyrs’ crown of light,
For Thy prophets’ eagle eye,
For Thy bold confessors’ might,
For the lips of infancy.

Lord of all, to Thee we raise,
This our hymn of grateful praise.

For Thy virgins’ robes of snow,
For Thy maiden mother mild,
For Thyself, with hearts aglow,
Jesu, Victim undefiled.

Lord of all, to Thee we raise,
This our hymn of grateful praise.

For each perfect gift of Thine,
To our race so freely given,
Graces human and divine,
Flowers of earth and buds of Heaven..

Lord of all, to Thee we raise,
This our hymn of grateful praise.

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.

Phil, that is a cool song you posted...neat how you said you revisited it while mowing! God can reach us anywhere!

My son who is 9 will be getting baptized in a couple of weeks so I'm posting this one here for Him:

Here I Am/ Michael W. Smith

There’s a place where I can go
Where the angels hear me pray
“I want to change, yes I need Your touch”
I’m waiting here for You

And I fall at Your feet
I’ll give it all
Until the day we meet

Here I am, ready to give up my life for the One
Here I am, ready to pour out my heart for the Son
Here I am

Here I come to Your threshing floor
Where the angels fear to tread
I’m waiting here for the King of Love
And to hold the hands that bled

And I fall at Your feet
I’ll give it all
Until the day we meet

Here I am, ready to give up my life for the One
Here I am, ready to pour out my heart for the Son
Here I am, ready to give up my life for the One
Here I am, ready to pour out my heart for the Son
Here I am

Hello Everyone!!!!!

Have a fantastic weekend!!!!!!!

*** Haven't listened to some Petra in a while....this is the first Christian group DH and I ever listened too.....our pastor at the time pointed us to them. This is one of my favorites they have done! ***

Petra - Ancient of Days

Blessing and honor
Glory and power
Be to the Ancient of Days
From every nation
All of creation
Bow before the Ancient of Days

CHORUS:
Every tongue in heaven and earth
Shall declare Your glory
Every knee will bow at Your throne
In worship
You will be exalted, oh God
And Your kingdom will not pass away
Oh, Ancient of Days

 

[live4christp1]

Does anyone have the lyrics to the color song by Petra?

Petra - Prayer

First I want to thank You Lord for being who You are
For coming to the rescue of a man who's drifted far
For calling me to be Your son and calling me to serve
Lord the way You've blessed my life is more than I deserve

Keep the ones I love so dearly
Fill their emptiness while I am gone
And fill the loneliness in me

Chorus:
This is my prayer
Lifted to You
Knowing You care even more than I do
This is my prayer
Lifted in Your name
Your will be done I humbly pray

Let me be the evidence of what Your grace can do
To a generations struggling to find themselves in You
May they come to know the love of God
May their eyes be made to see
Give me the opportunity to share the truth that sets them free
And may unity in all things
Be the banner of Your church
And let revival's fire begin to burn

As we face the last and final hours
Turn a wayward country back to You
And keep us from the evil that devours
Keep us on the path and lead us through
Keep us in Your light until Your kingdom comes
And our work is done

This is my prayer
Lifted to You
Knowing You care so much more than I do
This is my prayer
In Jesus' name
Your will be done I humbly pray
This is my prayer

God used this song several years ago to speak to me when I was going through a difficult situation. Isn't it wonderful that no matter what or who fails us.....Jesus never will, He is always there. Hope you are blessed by this song! Have a wonderful day!

Point of Grace - Jesus Will Still Be There

Things change
Plans fail
You look for love on a grander scale
Storms rise
Hopes fade
And you place your bets on another day
When the going gets tough
When the ride's too rough
When you're just not sure enough

CHORUS:
Jesus will still bet there
His love will never change
Sure as a steady rain
Jesus will still be there
When no one else is true
He'll still be loving you
When it looks like you've lost it all
And you haven't got a prayer
Jesus will still be there

Time flies
Hearts turn
A little bit wiser from lessons learned
But sometimes
Weakness wins
And you lose your foothold once again
When the going gets tough
When the ride's too rough
When you're just not sure enough

CHORUS(2x)

When it looks like you've lost it all
And you haven't got a prayer
Jesus will still be there

 

[live4christp1]

Another song God used in a wonderful way in my life to speak about extending mercy to others as He has extended mercy to us.

Crosses and Crowns - The Darins

For those who seek the face of God
For those who call the name of Christ
The road upon this earthly sod
Will someday lead to paradise
We embrace the cross of Calvary
Pressing toward the prize we will receive

CHORUS:
We’re waiting on new wings
Searching an old sky
Praying for the day
We’ll see heaven coming down
There’s a promise land awaiting
But there’s mercy in the meantime
While we’re walking on this ground
Between crosses and crowns

We stumble and we lose our way
We question what we’re doing here
Yet all the time we watch and pray
Wondering if the end is near
So He left us His amazing grace
Until we see Him face to face

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
We’re pilgrims on this mission field
Where the heart gets changed
And the soul gets healed
There’s a purpose in these shadow lands
Between the crowns of gold
And His nail-scarred hands

CHORUS

Jesus Loogie Boogie - lyrics

Revelation 3:14-21

All or nothing is how it's played
So don't go thinking you've got it made
Trying to ride the dotted line
Wasting so much precious time
This is more than a mere charade
You are neither hot or cold
That's why this Christian thing to you is getting old
But you don't have to live this way
Carrying round all this dead weight
Choose life abundantly today
You cannot love this world, and love God too
Two faces can not hide the apathy in you
So it's one ore the other, but you'll have to choose
So, take this advice from me

Don't you be a Jesus loogie
To be so lukewarm He spits you out of his mouth
Be on fire, with the Holy Spirit
Be o hot, that he won't want
To spit you out

Don't you tell me you're satisfied
Fully content at merely being alive
Chilling out to the extreme, a lackadaisical dream
Why don't you make up your mind?
You don't have to live this way
He died so by His grace we may be saved
That wasn't just for you and me
That was for all the world to see
Who sees that light in you today?
This mundane melodrama can have a change
If Christ ignites your should and fans the flame
En Fuego could become your middle name
So take this advice from me

thanks,
Paul

 

[live4christp1]

Cool song llyolf! I've never heard it, who is the artist?

Hello to everyone! Hope you all are having a good week!

Here's my contribution for the day.....

Newsong - Don't It Make You Want To Go Home

THE MORNING PAPER IS READING LIKE A SCROLL
LIKE HEADLINES FROM 2000 YEARS AGO
EVERYWHERE I LOOK I SEE THE SIGNS
MY HEART'S TELLING ME IT'S ALMOST TIME

CHORUS:
DON'T IT MAKE YOU WANT TO GO HOME
RUN THROUGH THOSE GATES AND FALL IN JESUS' ARMS
AND ALL THE CARES OF THIS WORLD WILL BE GONE
DON'T IT MAKE YOU, DON'T IT MAKE YOU WANT TO GO HOME

I CAN'T WAIT TO SIT AT JESUS' FEET
TO HEAR HIM SAY WELCOME HOME TO ME
I CAN ALMOST FEEL HIS WARM EMBRACE
AND HIS NAIL-SCARRED HANDS AS THEY WIPE MY TEARS AWAY

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
FAR AWAY FROM THIS WORLD OF PAIN, GOD'S PREPARED A PERFECT PLACE
AND I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT, I'M SO HOMESICK FOR IT
DON'T IT MAKE YOU WANT TO GO HOME
DON'T IT MAKE YOU WANT TO GO HOME

DON'T IT MAKE YOU WANT TO GO HOME
RUN THROUGH THOSE GATES AND STRAIGHT TO HEAVEN'S THRONE
AND FALL IN JESUS' ARMS
DON'T IT MAKE, DON'T IT MAKE YOU WANT TO GO HOME

 

[live4christp1]

Sarah....this song is for you

Point of Grace - You Will Never Walk Alone

Along life's road
There will be sunshine and rain
Roses and thorns, laughter and pain
And 'cross the miles
You will face mountains so steep
Deserts so long and valleys so deep
Sometimes the Journey's gentle
Sometimes the cold winds blow
But I want you to remember
I want you to know

You will never walk alone
As long as you have faith
Jesus will be right beside you all the way
You may feel you're far from home
But home is where He is
And he'll be there down every road
You will never walk alone
The path will wind
And you will find wonders and fears
Labors of love and a few falling tears
Across the years
There will be some twists and turns
Mistakes to make and lessons to learn
Sometimes the journey's gentle
Sometimes the cold winds blow
But I want you to remember where ever you may

Jesus knows your joy, Jesus knows your need
He will go the distance with you faithfully

Wayne Watson - For Such a Time As This

Now, all I have is now
To be faithful
To be holy
And to shine
Lighting up the darkness
Right now, I really have no choice
But to voice the truth to the nations
A generation looking for God

CHORUS:
For such a time as this
I was placed upon the earth
To hear the voice of God
And do His will
Whatever it is
For such a time as this
For now and all the days He gives
I am here, I am here
And I am His
For such a time as this

You - Do you ever wonder why
Seems like the grass is always greener
Under everybody else's sky
But right here, right here for this time and place
You can live a mirror of His mercy
A forgiven image of grace

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Can't change what's happened till now
But we can change what will be
By living in holiness
That the world will see Jesus

CHORUS
