That's it Deb! Thanks so much for posting it here. I have many of PCD's CD's but not the one with this song and I've only ever heard it a couple of times on the radio. The first time I heard it I just broke down and wept because it reminded of how so many times I'm in such a hurry to get this done or that done that I'm missing so many beautiful things the Lord has placed before me each day. This song reminds me that I need to slow down, enjoy the day, and most of all have fellowship with the Lord.

Thanks again for finding it and posting it, you made my day! I'm gonna have to stop and get the CD with this one on it now.

Hi Cristy,
I'm not familiar with this song, but I searched for it and found "No Matter How Long" by Phillips, Craig, and Dean. It sure does paint a beautiful picture of how God does try to touch us many times a day, if we only take the time to notice!
Have a gr8 day in the Lord!

No Matter How Long

I watched you as you stumbled out of bed
Rushed out the door your coffeee in your hand
And you looked so lost and lonely
I knew i had to find a way
To make you understand, I wanna be your friend
So I painted a sunrise in the sky
And I caused the birds to sing you lullabies
And I whispered sweet "I love you's"
In the breeze that brushed your face
You didn't even see, you never noticed Me
No matter how long it takes, somehow I'll find a way
No matter how far you run, there's no distance that's too great
'Cause when the wind blows through the treetops
And in the music of the rain
Somehow My love will find a way
No Matter how long it takes
I watched you as you fell asleep last night
And I trembled as I watched the tears you cried
So I splashed your face with moonlight, and I longed for your embrace
You never called My name, I loved you just the same
In the laughter of the children
I'll be calling out your name
Somehow My love will find a way
Somehow My love will find a way
My love will find a way
No matter how long it takes

PCD - Your Grace Still Amazes Me (WOW!)

My faithful Father, enduring Friend
Your tender mercy’s like a river with no end
It overwhelms me, covers my sin
Each time I come into Your presence
I stand in wonder once again

CHORUS:
Your grace still amazes me
Your love is still a mystery
Each day I fall on my knees
Your grace still amazes me
‘Cause Your grace still amazes me

Oh, patient Saviour, You make me whole
You are the Author and the Healer of my soul
What can I give You, Lord, what can I say
I know there’s no way to repay You
Only to offer You my praise

It’s deeper, it’s wider
It’s stronger, it’s higher
It’s deeper it’s wider
It’s stronger, it’s higher than anything my eyes can see

Awesome thread! I have three I'm into right now by Stellar Kart. I'm more into the Christian rock, thankfully we have an awesome Christian rock station here in the Dallas area, Power FM, you can listen online at 897powerfm.com. Anyway, here are my three contributions (for today!).

Second Chances:
No matter what you did or might do again
Following all the worthless trends
You know he's waiting patiently
From now until forever

Brokenhearted and confused
Feeling like you've been abused
The second chances never end
From now until forever

There will always be second chances
And you'll always be on your first try

There will always be second chances
And you'll always be on your first try

You try and you try but you're never ahead of the game
And you're wondering why you're on your face again
You feel like you've been left alone

You try and you try but you're never ahead of the game
And you're wondering why you're on your face again
You feel like you've been left alone

There will always be second chances
And you'll always be on your first try

There will always be second chances
And you'll always be on your first try

There will always be second chances
And you'll always be on your first try

There will always be second chances
And you'll always be on your first try
Forever, Forever, Forever, Forever, Forever...

Spending Time:
Just so happens that my schedule is empty
But still there's no room for You
The time has come and gone
Things have come along that take me away from you

Don't take this the wrong way
You're so perfect
And everything tells me
You're so worth it

Spending time with You
Not a moment goes by that You're not by my side
Spending time with You
You're all that I want life is so hard to do

When we first met I remember I'd do anything for You
But as the years go by
I let my attentions slide
And I'm pulling away from You

Finish Last:
Verse 1:
People change and plans get changed and
Everything changes but you

everybody moves around and
everything gets pushed around but you
you always stay the same, stay the same

Chorus:
I wanna finish last, last in the worlds eyes
no matter what i do, i will be first in your eyes

I am running in this race and,
I am pressing onwards towards the finish line

Verse 2:
You have promised me a better life
Far beyond this world, far beyond this place in time

Chorus(x2)

Verse 1

Chorus (x2)

I wanna finish last, in their eyes.

Hey Ktulu,

Thanks for sharing those lyrics. I'm going to go to the bookstore and see if I can find their CD.



Here's my contribution for the day!

Before The Day - NEWSONG

Last night when I was sleeping
You were watching over me
While I dreamt about tomorrow
You knew my every need

Now another day is waiting
For me to make it through
And there’s no way that I could face it
Without You

CHORUS
Before the day slips away
I want to stop and say
I love You, I love You
Before the world rushes in again
I want to stop and say
There’s none above You
I’ll just be still and know
That You are God
Be still and know that You are God

There something about the morning
The stillness of it all
It calms my heart to hear You
When You gently call

REPEAT CHORUS

Here I am in Your presence
Where I long to be
Alone with You in the silence
Bring down Your love and Your mercy
Whisper softly to me

Before the day slips away
I want to stop and say
I love You, I love You

Before the day slips away
I want to stop and say
I love You, I love You

REPEAT CHORUS

 

[live4christp1]

Hi everyone! Hope you are all doing well! This song has been a huge blessing to me this morning. Wanted to share it with everyone here! Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did! Have a blessed day!

HOW GREAT YOU ARE

PHILLIPS, CRAIG & DEAN

A thousand sparkling stars upon a midnight summer sky
The majesty and wonder of the oceans endless tide
And the more I see the more I can’t explain
How the one who set the world in place
Could even know my name
And I’m amazed, I’m so amazed

CHORUS
How great You are
How small I am
How awesome is Your mighty hand
And I am captured by the wonder of it all
And I will offer all my praise
With all my heart for all my days
How great You are
How great You are
How great You are

A million snowflakes gently fall yet no two are the same
The colors fill the canvas of the seasons as they change
And everywhere I look I see Your hand
Why You would love someone like me I’ll never understand
And I’m amazed, I’m so amazed

REPEAT CHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS

How great You are
How great You are
How small I am

Jesus You're Beautiful/Sara Groves

Jesus, bright as the morning star
Jesus, how can I tell you
How beautiful you are to me

Jesus, song that the angels sing
Jesus, dearer to my heart
Than anything
Sweeter than springtime
Purer than sunshine
Ever my song will be
Jesus, You’re beautiful to me

Jesus, bright as the morning star
Jesus, how can I tell you
How beautiful you are to me

My Jesus, song that the angels sing
Jesus, dearer to my heart
Than anything
Sweeter than spring time
Purer than sunshine
Ever my song will be
Jesus, You’re beautiful to me

Oh, You are so beautiful
Oh Beautiful
So beautiful
So beautiful
Jesus, you’re beautiful to me
Beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful, Jesus, You’re beautiful to me
Beautiful, wonderful, everything
Beautiful, Jesus, You’re beautiful to me
Wonderful, morning star, Lord you are, Beautiful
Jesus, You’re beautiful to me
Ohh, so beautiful

Sweeter than springtime
Purer than sunshine
Ever my song will be
Jesus, You’re beautiful to me

 

[JC2]

Oh Yes, Jesus is SO beautiful!

I found a PDF that calls the song "Awesome God", but those lyrics are not obviously the Rich Mullins lyrics. Here is what I found:

Perhaps they can point you in the right direction!

Shine!

Dull as dirt
you can't assert
the kinda 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 kinda change
that would make an eskimo renounce fur
that would make a vegetarian barbeque hamster
unless you can trace this about-face to a certain sign

shine
make em wonder whatcha 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 arent happy
but out of the glare
with nowhere to turn
you ain't gonna learn it on "What's my Line?"

Shine
make em wonder whatcha 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

 

[ktulu]

Hippie! We could do a whole thread on Newsboys

How about Joy:

You give me joy that's unspeakable
And I like it, And I
like it
Your love for me is irresistible
I can't
fight it, I can't fight it

If life is water, I
was dry as the Tuscon dirt
If it's a gamble, I'd
already lost my shirt
If it's a journey, I was dazed
without a clue
I flipped a "U" back to the first love I
ever knew

CHORUS
You give me joy that's
unspeakable
And I like it, And I like it
Your love for
me is irresistible
I can't fight it, I can't
fight it
You carried the cross and took my shame
I
believe it, I believe it
You shine Your light of amazing
grace
I recieve it, I receive it

If life's
a battle, the invasion is complete
If it's a rhythm, I
have found the perfect beat
If it's a renaissance,
I've got a new birhday
The world don't give it
And the world can't take it away

CHORUS

I'm bowed and broken, everything's new
All that I need, You're like water to seed
And how
Your love, rights everything wrong
In my weakness
You're ever stronger, You're pulling me back
Where I belong

CHORUS

 

[Conservative Hippie]

Hold the milk, put back the sugar
They are powerless to console
We’ve gathered here to sprinkle ashes
From our late friend’s cereal bowl.

Breakfast Clubbers, say the motto
That he taught us to repeat:
“You will lose it in your gym class, if you wait til noon to eat”.

Back when the Chess Club said our eggs were soft
Every Monday he’d say grace and hold our juice aloft
Oh, none of us knew his checkout time would come so soon
But before his brain stopped waving, he composed this tune:

Chorus:
WHEN THE TOAST IS BURNED
AND ALL THE MILK HAS TURNED
AND CAPTAIN CRUNCH IS WAVING FAREWELL,
WHEN THE BIG ONE FINDS YOU MAY THIS SONG REMIND YOU
THAT THEY DON’T SERVE BREAFAST IN HELL

Breakfast clubbers, drop the hankies
Though to some our friend was odd,
that day he bought those pine pyjamas
His check was good with God

Those here without the lord,
How do you cope?
For this morning we don’t mourn
Like those who have no hope

Oh rise up, Fruit Loop lovers-
Sing out sweet and low
With spoons held high
We bid our brother “Cheerio!"

Chorus:
WHEN THE TOAST IS BURNED
AND ALL THE MILK HAS TURNED
AND CAPTAIN CRUNCH IS WAVING FAREWELL
WHEN THE BIG ONE FINDS YOU MAY THIS SONG REMIND YOU
THAT THEY DON’T SERVE BREAFAST IN HELL

I haven't come here to sing in a looooong time but I felt like I wanted to this morning.

Over the Horizon/4HIM

Well I’ve always been a bit of a dreamer
Holdin’ on to the hard to believe
Still I struggle just to fathom or imagine
What Jesus has waiting for me
Oh it’s not that I’m afraid of the future
For my faith has allowed me to see
That beyond the temporary it is
There He has got all the answers I need

So I’m tryin’ my best to remember
The vision He’s given to me

CHORUS
Just over the horizon
Past the mountains of uncertainty
The place where dreams become realities
Somewhere on distant islands
Far beyond what human eyes can see
There is a better world awaiting me
Just over the horizon

Well nobody wants to leave the familiar
When you got all the comforts of home
Steppin’ out is not as scary as the worry
Of steppin’ into the unknown
And it’s not that I’m afraid of the movin’
For the danger will come if you wait
And the door will never open by just hoping
You’ve gotta start walking in faith

So keep tryin’ your best to hold on
And remember the promise He gave...

Just over the horizon
Past the mountains of uncertainty
The place where dreams become realities
Somewhere on distant islands
Far beyond what human eyes can see
There is a better world awaiting me
Just over the horizon

Hi-
Haven't posted here in quite awhile.
I don't have lyrics to post right now, but wanted to let you know that my family and I saw Lincoln Brewster at our church a couple of weeks ago! He performed at our weekend services 2 weeks ago!!
The group, Delirious, also performed at my church about a week ago, but we didin't see them. It was for one of our church conferences being held at my church.

Take care,
Rosemarie

I haven't come here to sing in a looooong time but I felt like I wanted to this morning.

Last night I came thisclose to looking up this thread to post the MWS oldie "A Way" (Then You take away the distance found between the truth and me...) and/or a poem or Psalm that had been brought to mind. Have a great day/weekend, all.

 

[Otto's Doll]

I haven't posted here in a long time! Hope everyone is doing well, I am doing a wonderful Bible study on eating...what a blessing it has been! I am finally shedding some of this weight I have been carrying around. Anyone else doing this kind of a study?

Heather, that is amazing. I wanted to post the lyrics to "A Way" but I was running late and couldn't find them online so I just posted something else. For you and me, I'll post them this morning. Seems like a lot of us came back to this thread yesterday. Jeanne, I haven't done any Bible studies regarding food but I've heard of them and I've heard that they've really made a difference in some people's lives. Congratulations on your weightloss. Right now I'm reading Joel Osteen's book "Your Best Life Now". It's really helping me get my mind in the right place after some things I've gone through over the last few months. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

A Way/Michael W. Smith

Caught in a dream of where I wanna be
Wrapped in a web of where I am
I feel a wall between what is and what should be
You find me waiting for a miracle
You hear me praying for a plan
You are the only one prepared to rescue me

Then You take away the distance found between the truth and me
And You give a simple reason to my restless rhyme
Oh hide me in the heavens You have held within Your hands
And make a way, to find the way to soothe my mind

There is a way that might seem right to me
A dim reflection of what's good
Just an illusion of the best that I can be
But there's another path You offer me
I wish I always understood
The way You see right through my thoughts and know my needs

Then You take away the distance found between the truth and me
And You give a simple reason to my restless rhyme
Oh hide me in the heavens You have held within Your hands
And make a way, to find the way to soothe my mind

Please come soothe my mind...

You always take away the distance found between the truth and me
And You give a simple reason to my restless rhyme
And You hide me in the heavens You have held within Your hands
And You a make a way, to find the way to soothe mind...

Lay Down My Pride Lyrics
Artist: Jeremy Camp
Album: Restored
Track: Lay Down My Pride


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Every single word I say
You know it before I speak
You know every thought the deepest part of me
You draw me closer than I see
Your presence is every thing I need to be the child that you've created me to be
I'm ready now to see it your way

(Chorus)
I lay down my pride
My desidres my demise
I'm ready now to see it your way
I'm done I'm through ignoring you
Now it's true
I'm kneeling at the cross of your grace
Lay down my pride

I was faced with passing time but I knew the choice was mine
To finally come to you and give you all control
I've wandered miles to find my way and then you revealed this simple faith
I know that you can see the secrets of my soul

(Bridge)
The cross
The blood you shed for me
Your back was ripped and bruised so I can know your love
I kneel I bow to you my King

(Chorus)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Unbelievable, I'm blown away it's true
By the matchless love that I've found in You
Undeniable, the change in me
I've never felt so free

It makes me want to dance
You make me want to dance
When I think about you

You love me, You love me
You Love me just the way I am
You love me, You love me
You love me just the way,
Just the way I am

Ever patiently accepting me
Your love in spite of everything I do
But oh so faithfully
You're committed to the process that makes me like You

And I feel like I can dance
Oh You make me want to dance
When I think about how

Not when I'm good enough
Not when I clean my act up
Not when I cross the line the thousandth time
And become a better man
Your grace is more than enough
To cover all my sings, Lord wash them away
So right here today
You love me just the way I am

[live4christp1]

Anyone know this? I know I've heard this song before but I can't think of the artist and can't find the lyrics........

"You're not without hope, not without help, not with Jesus"

It starts out like this I think - Have you been dismayed......

If you have this, please post.

Thanks,

Cristy
