[Otto's Doll]

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,Step By Step

Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You

I will seek You in the morning
And I will learn to walk in Your ways
And step by step You'll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days

Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You

I will seek You in the morning
And I will learn to walk in Your ways
And step by step You'll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days

And step by step You'll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days


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.

In The Blink Of An Eye/ MercyMe


You put me here for a reason
You have a mission for me
You knew my name and You called it
Long before I learned to breathe

Sometimes I feel disappointed
By the way I spend my time
How can I further Your kingdom
When I'm so wrapped up in mine

In a Blink of an eye that is when
I'll be closer to You than I've ever been
Time will fly, but until then
I'll embrace every moment I'm given
There's a reason I'm alive for a blink of an eye

And though I'm living a good life
Can my life be something great?
I have to answer the question
Before it's too late

Cause in a Blink of an eye that is when
I'll be closer to You than I've ever been
Time will fly, but until then
I'll embrace every moment I'm given
There's a reason I'm alive for a blink of an eye

If I give the very best of me
That becomes my legacy
So tell me what am I waiting for?
What am I waiting for?

In a Blink of an eye that is when
I'll be closer to You than I've ever been
Time will fly, but until then
I'll embrace every moment I'm given

In a Blink of an eye that is when
I'll be closer to You than I've ever been
Time will fly, but until then
I'll embrace every moment I'm given
There's a reason I'm alive for a blink of an eye

 

[Otto's Doll]

I have journeyed
Through the long dark night
Out on the open sea
By faith alone
Sight unknown
And yet His eyes were watching me

The anchor holds
Though the ship is battered
The anchor holds
Though the sails are torn
I have fallen on my knees
As I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds
In spite of the storm

I’ve had visions
I’ve had dreams
I’ve even held them in my hand
But I never knew
They would slip right through
Like they were only grains of sand

The anchor holds
Though the ship is battered
The anchor holds
Though the sails are torn
I have fallen on my knees
As I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds
In spite of the storm

I have been young
But I am older now
And there has been beauty these eyes have seen
But it was in the night
Through the storms of my life
Oh, that’s where God proved
His love to me

The anchor holds
Though the ship is battered
The anchor holds
Though the sails are torn
I have fallen on my knees
As I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds
In spite of the storm

Go/ MercyMe


My life has been instilled
By a hope that never moves
And yet it moves me still
So I'm crying out to You
Use me
So I can take Your fame and glory
For all to see
No matter where Your hand may lead me

[Chorus]
I will go
I will go
To make You known
I will go

I can't keep You to myself
My heart is just too small
There's so many left to tell
That You came for one and all
Use me
So I can take Your fame and Glory
For all to see
No matter where Your hand may lead me

[Chorus]

For a dying world in need
For the hungry and the weak
For the sinner scared to speak
I will go

[Chorus]

Nighty Night Sarah!

Fly/ Jars of Clay


Be still let your hand melt into mine.
The part of me that breathes when you breathe is losing time.
I can't find the word to say I'll never say goodbye.

I'll fly with you through the night so you know I'm not letting go.
I'm not letting go.
My tears like rain fill up the sky.
Oh my love I'm not letting go, I won't let you go.

I saw the host of silent angels waiting on their own.
Knowing that all the promises of faith come alive when you see home.
Hold still and let your hand melt into mine.

And I'll fly with you through the night so you know I'm not letting go.
I'm not letting go.
My tears like rain fill up the sky.
Oh my love I'm not letting go, I won't let you go.

Nighty Night Jeanne! Don't let the bed bugs bite! LOL And thanks for singing with me tonight!

 

[Hemi-mom]

Hi All! Thanks for your prayers for Erin. Her surgery went well and she is recovering nicely. She will have more suregeries and procedures to undergo in the near future but in a about a week and half their family will be going to the beach too!

The weather has been so-so so far...but I can't complain being able to sleep in and rest and relax and spend some quality time with my family, with God and with a good book. Even with the weather not "perfect" we have still gotten some beach time by going out whenever there is some clearing! I have had some great ocean time with the water temps in the high 70's WOOHOO!! So all in all we're off to a great start!

Thanks again for your prayers and I'll be popping back on when I can!

Sing some oldies for me!

 

[zen1]

Hi Everyone!

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Hey Jilly! I am so glad to hear that Erin's surgery went well! I will keep her in my prayers. And I am glad you and your family are having a great time at the beach together! I hope the weather stays nice for all of you.

Here's a song for you, Jilly.

Holiday 'n' Heaven/ Bryan Duncan

I shuffle down past the Third Street Gospel Mission
Jesus always saves a place there just for me
He's got his own band of angels playin' music
From a block away you can hear 'em sing
To a kick drum and a tamborine

Corner of Holiday and Heaven
No place on Earth I'd rather be

Goin' down to let my light shine thru a lonely window
A chance a lost soul will face up to the pain
I like the preachin'.... that little dance he does
So entertainin'
Seems to know just how to save my soul
Take my burdens, make me whole

Right there on Holiday and Heaven
No place on Earth I'd rather be

Now from the outside looks like
Just another lonely place
On just another hard road down town
Where the wind blows the trash around
In circles on dirty streets
But the joy of the Lord's is found
Where the heart of the new believers beat

Corner of Holiday and Heaven
No place on Earth I'd rather be
Right there on Holiday and Heaven
No place on Earth I'd rather be

Lately, I've been thnking about You
And lately, I've been dreaming of You
And lately, I can't get You out of my head
Get You out of my head

Something about the ocean
Makes me rise up and praise
Something about the heavens
Makes me stand in awe again
Something about the sunrise
Reminds me of Your faithfulness
Something about the ocean
And I'm lost in love again

I'll sing until I sense a smile
Upon Your great and lovely face
And till I know Your glory's in this place
Your glory's in this place

Something about the ocean
Makes me rise up and praise
Something about the heavens
Makes me stand in awe again
Something about the sunrise
Reminds me of Your faithfulness
Something about the ocean
And I'm lost in love again

Any Road, Any Cost (Point of Grace)

Leaving the safe and familiar
With their hearts set on a heavenly prize
There were some who laid down their nets
And some who laid down their lives
Not sure where they were going
But they did not have to know
’cause they knew who had called them
And they said, we will go

(chorus)
Down any road at any cost
Wherever you lead we will follow
Because we know that you’ve called us
To take up our cross
Down any road at any cost

It may be fear that we’re feeling
We see what we must sacrifice
But you promised you’ll go with us
So we’ll trust with our lives

(repeat chorus)

It’s your love that compels us
To do what you’ve called us to do
And be completely abandoned to you

(repeat chorus)

Because we know that you’ve called us
To take up our cross
Down any road at any cost

 

[Otto's Doll]

This is for all of us!

Circle of Friends (Point of Grace)

We were made to love and be loved
But the price this world demands will cost you far too much
I spent so many years just trying to fit in
Now I’ve found a place in this circle of friends
In a circle of friends we have one father
In a circle of friends we share this prayer
That every orphaned soul will know
And all will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends
If you weep, I will weep with you
If you sing for joy the rest of us will lift our voices too
But no matter what you feel inside there’s no need to pretend
That’s the way it is in this circle of friends
In a circle of friends
We have one father
In a circle of friends we share this prayer
That we’ll gather together no matter how the highway bends
I will not lose this circle of friends
Among the nations, tribes and tongues we have sisters and brothers
And when we meet in heaven we will recognize each other
With joy so deep and love so sweet
Oh we’ll celebrate these friends
And a life that never ends
In a prayer
That will not be long before
All will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends
That it will not be long before
All will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends

Hi Jen and Jeanne!

Jeanne, I love the Circle of Friends song! That would make another great theme song for all of us, along with the one we already have( More Than You'll Ever Know/ Watermark).

 

[JC2]

You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God;once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

1 Peter 2: 9, 10

 

[sm4987]

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made: your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be Psalms 138:14-16 NIV

How awesome to know that we are his and that he has everything under control.

 

[JC2]

I love the promise of that scripture, Sheree'!

 

[Princess Michelle]

Jill, I'm so glad to hear that Erin's surgery went well! I hope you guys are enjoying your vacation, I'm praying for nicer weather!

Hey Jeanne, Fur, Sarah and Sheree'!!! Thanks for all the great songs and scriptures!

 

[JC2]

Well hello there, Michelle! Good morning

How lovely is Your dwelling place O Lord Almighty
My soul longs and even faints for You
For here my heart is satisfied within Your presence
I sing beneath the shadow of Your wings

Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts than thousands elsewhere
Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts than thousands elsewhere

One thing I ask and I would seek to see Your beauty
To find You in the place Your glory dwells
One thing I ask and I would seek to see Your beauty
To find You in the place Your glory dwells

Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts than thousands elsewhere
Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts than thousands elsewhere

My heart and flesh cry out
To You the living God
Your Spirit's water to my soul
I've tasted and I've seen
Come once again to me
I will draw near to You
I will draw near to You

Oh better is one day
Better is one day
Better is one day than thousands elsewhere</Font>

I love You Lord
And I lift my voice
To worship You
Oh my soul, rejoice
Take joy my King
In what You hear
And may it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear



You have been so good
You have been so good to me
In my faithless hour You are my Strength
You are my Tower from the enemy
You have been so good
So good to me</Font>
