Hi Cristy, I am so sorry to hear that you and your DS were in a bad car accident. I hope you guy's are alright. And that is a very good vs. to remmeber, but I do feel that way that you had said sometimes too. I will keep you in my prayers and thank you for your prayers for me as well.

I kinda feel that way right now too, as I just had to drop out of my child care class at the college that I was going too. As I could not find a job in a day care center. But I try to look at this as it just was not meant to be and that God has another plan for me. I just have to have Faith and Trust Him.


Sometimes when I am feeling down I sing part of this song out loud to myself: He Loves you, He Loves you, He Loves you, He Loves Me, He Loves you, He Loves you, He Loves you, He Loves Me. And also try to remmeber some of the vs. that I know and say them to myself. Doing all these things really does help me feel better and also talking to friends helps a lot as well.

Just stopping in to say hi to you all! Three weeks from right now I will be on a plane to Disney with my family!!! We are so excited to be cruising that week as well.
Sarah, ah, honey I am sorry that things didn't work out this time, but remember Romans 8:28.... "And we know that all things work together for good for Sarah, who loves God, and to Sarah who is called according to HIS purpose." (paraphrase mine). Remember that He loves you so very much, and has a plan for your life.
Christy, so sorry to hear of your accident, may God bless and comfort you guys.

GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD, FOR HE IS GOOD,
HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER AND EVER...AMEN!

Hi everyone! Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. Today I went and picked up my prize pack I had won last week from J103 and Casting Crowns. They had a contest where you had to write in 200 words of less about a song that had impacted you life......last week I had gotten an email saying I had been chosen as a winner - I got a Casting Crowns t-shirt, the new Lifesong CD autographed by the group, Live from Atlanta CD, and the first release Casting Crowns.

This is one of the songs from the new CD.

While You Were Sleeping - Casting Crowns

Oh little town of Bethlehem
Looks like another silent night
Above your deep and dreamless sleep
A giant star lights up the sky
And while you're lying in the dark
There shines an everlasting light
For the King has left His throne
And is sleeping in a manger tonight

Oh Bethlehem, what have you missed while you were sleeping
For God became a man
And stepped into your world today
Oh Bethlehem, you will go down in history
As a city with no room for its King
While you were sleeping
While you were sleeping

Oh little town of Jerusalem
Looks like another silent night
The Father gave His only Son
The Way, the Truth, the Life had come
But there was no room for Him in the world He came to save

Jerusalem, what you have missed while you were sleeping
The Savior of the world is dying on your cross today
Jerusalem, you will go down in history
As a city with no room for its King
While you were sleeping
While you were sleeping

United States of America
Looks like anothr silent night
As we're sung to sleep by philosophies
That save the trees and kill the children
And while we're lying in the dark
There's a shout heard 'cross the eastern sky
For the Bridegroom has returned
And has carried His bride away in the night

America, what will we miss while we are sleeping
Will Jesus come again
And leave us slumbering where we lay
America, will we go down in history
As a nation with no room for its King
Will we be sleeping
Will we be sleeping



Am listening to the CD as I type and WOW - if you like Casting Crowns you gotta get this one. In Me is another great song on this CD!

 

[JC2]

Open the eyes of my heart, Lord
Open the eyes of my heart
I want to see You
I want to see You
Open the eyes of my heart, Lord
Open the eyes of my heart
I want to see You
I want to see You

To see You high and lifted up
Shining in the light of Your glory
Pour out Your power and love
As we sing Holy Holy Holy

Holy Holy Holy
Holy Holy Holy
Holy Holy Holy I want to see You
Holy Holy Holy
Holy Holy Holy
Holy Holy Holy I want to see You

 

[JC2]

I will come and bow down
At Your feet Lord Jesus
In Your presence is fulness of joy
There is nothing
There is no one
Who compares with You
I take pleasure in worshiping You Lord

Word of God Speak - Kutless

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

[CHORUS]
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

[REPEAT CHORUS 2x]

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

 

[JC2]

I really like that song, Cristy! It's good to see you

 

[JC2]

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride

Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were an offering far too small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my life, my soul, my all

O the wonderful cross
O the wonderful cross
Bids me come and die
And find that I may truly live
O the wonderful cross
O the wonderful cross
All who gather here
By grace draw near
And bless Your name

 

[live4christp1]

Hey JC2! Good to see you here as well. Haven't posted here in few weeks, have been really busy here at work and also lots of other stuff going on. It's nice and uplifting to come here and read the lyrics though. Have a great day!

Hey guys! I have a song question for you. I went to my infinite source of wisdom (Google ) and they couldn't help me out so I thought I'd come to you guys and see if anyone can give me some info on this song. I don't know the title, don't know the artist. It is a male or a group that sings it but the lead is male. I don't know the whole song but it's kind of mid-tempo and the part of the chorus that is stuck in my head is this ~

Yeah, the one thing I don't question is You
You really love me like You say You do...

(hold me)
(hold me)

Then while the lead vocal is singing that there are background vocals singing a different chorus that is something like You are the same, You do not change.

I can just remember little bits and pieces of it. I keep hearing it on the radio but they never say who sings it and I never seem to be able to hear the whole song. I usually just catch the end of it.

If anyone knows please pass the info along, I really like it! Thanks!

Michelle,

I think this is what you are looking for.

It is by Paul Coleman

Here I am
In a river of questions
Can I pour my heart out to a listening ear?
I see this life
Its valley's and mountains
And I think of all the roads that brought me here

I've questioned my reasons
The life I'm living
I've questioned my ability
To judge wrong from right
I've questioned all the things that I've ever called certain
My race, my religion, my country, my mind

But the one thing I don't question is you
You really love me like you say you do
You really love me like you say you do
Hold me
Hold me

I've questioned significance
Meaning and relevance
Does the work I'm doing really matter at all?
Well I've questioned my friendships
Alliance, dependence
Who will still be here when I fall?

Only one thing doesn't change
Only one thing stays the same
All I know at the end of the day is your love remains

With all the struggles going on in my life right now, this song was a huge blessing to me this morning. "Lord what are you trying to teach me or show me through this?"


Voice of Truth - Casting Crowns

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes to climb out of this boat I'm in
On to the crashing waves

To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He's holding out His hand

But the waves are calling out my name and they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again, "Boy, You'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story
The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
With just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out my name and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again, "Boy, You'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story
The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth

But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves aren't looking so high
From on top of them lookin' down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me

Repeat Chorus

I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth

I LOVE that song! We saw them in concert last year and they were wonderful, very worshipful. They also have a new CD out but we haven't gotten it yet.

I also love the song "HELD" by Natalie Grant.
Anyone familiar with it? Very pretty musically and also deeply emotional, about a woman who loses her baby.

Hi Mafibisha!

I won the new Casting Crowns CD Lifesong from our local Christian music station, it is fantastic!

I love that song by Natalie Grant also!

Two months is too little.
They let him go.
They had no sudden healing.
To think that providence would
Take a child from his mother while she prays
Is appalling.

Who told us we’d be rescued?
What has changed and why should we be saved from nightmares?
We’re asking why this happens
To us who have died to live?
It’s unfair.

CHORUS:
This is what it means to be held.
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive.
This is what it is to be loved.
And to know that the promise was
When everything fell we’d be held.

This hand is bitterness.
We want to taste it, let the hatred NUMB our sorrow.
The wise hands opens slowly to lilies of the valley and tomorrow.

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
If hope is born of suffering.
If this is only the beginning.
Can we not wait for one hour watching for our Savior?

CHORUS

 

[Princess Michelle]

Thanks for the Paul Coleman lyrics, Cristy! That's the song I was looking for!

I hope you all have a blessed Sunday!

 

[Dan Murphy]

So nice to see this thread again. Hope all you guys are doing well, good to see you all again.

I saw her live at the Women of Faith concert, and she was absolutely amazing. I went out the next day and bought her CD. It relly is a good cd. This song is awesome!!

Hi Everyone, its good to see all of you! It feels like forever since I have been on this thread, so I thought I would come on here tonight and sing some songs for all of ya( since I can't sleep and that I am kinda of feeling sad tonight).

Artist: Casting Crowns
Album: Lifesong
Song: Does Anybody Hear Her


She is running
A hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction
She is trying
But the canyon’s ever widening
In the depths of her cold heart
So she sets out on another misadventure just to find
She’s another two years older
And she’s three more steps behind

Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
Or does anybody even knows she’s going down today
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that’s tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?

She is yearning
For shelter and affection
That she never found at home
She is searching
For a hero to ride in
To ride in and save the day
And in walks her prince charming
And he knows just what to say
Momentary lapse of reason
And she gives herself away

If judgement looms under every steeple
If lofty glances from lofty people
Can’t see past her scarlet letter
And we never even met her

Song: Who Am I


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

Artist: Jeremy Camp
Album: Stay
Song: Take My Life


Here i am before you now
I'm like a child reaching out
Here i am i'm giving all i can
Breaking my pride I feel i'm through
Shattered inside i run to you
And now i give it all to you

Take my life take my mind
take my soul take my will
I am yours now, and i give it all to you

Laying all down before my king
Offering all my everything
Laying all down before the one i serve
I can understand the reasons why
You came on this earth and died
And now i give it all to you

I can feel you on my shoulder
So I know that you are there
I can see you paint my picture
The beauty is all there
