In the very thought of Jesus His presence can be found
He's as close as the mention of His name
There is never any distance between my Lord and me
He's as close as the mention of His name

He's as close as the mention of His name
Jesus, Jesus
He's as close as the mention of His name
Jesus, Jesus

In my hour of struggle so many times I've found
He's as close as the mention of His name
Just to breathe the name of Jesus can turn everything around
He's as close as the mention of His name

He's as close as the mention of His name
Jesus, Jesus
He's as close as the mention of His name
Jesus, Jesus

 

[JC2]

Wow. I love the words to that song, Michelle.

Where You Lead Me/ MercyMe


What is life?
A thousand roads, a thousand ways
Why am I so afraid to move
I crossed the line
I'm stepping out so come what may
I give it all cause I'm drawn to You

As long as my heart is beating...
Where You lead me I will follow
Where You lead me I give my life away
Where You lead me I will follow
Forever and a day
Forever and a day

I can't deny Your very presence is my life
And why would I ever turn away
Cause deep inside I know that I cannot rely
On anything less than faith

As long as my heart is beating...
Where You lead me I will follow
Where You lead me I give my life away
Where You lead me I will follow
Forever and a day

This is all I'm dreaming of
To live completely in Your love

So this is life

Where You lead me I give my life away
Where You lead me I will follow
Forever and a day

Where You lead me I will follow
Where You lead me I give my life away
Where You lead me I will follow
Forever and a day
Forever and a day

Song: Cannot Say Enough/ MercyMe


What can we say to describe just a glimpse of Your Glory
How can our words portray but a thread of Your Majesty
But still we praise our Savior in Spirit and in Truth
For we cannot say enough about You

What can we say to describe just a glimpse of Your Glory
How can our words portray but a thread of Your Majesty
But still we praise our Savior in Spirit and in Truth
For we cannot say enough about You

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

But still we praise our Savior in Spirit and in Truth
For we cannot say enough about You

Oh we cannot say... enough about you
Ohhh we cannot say...

[Hallelujah 6x fading out]

Hey Fur! I remember singing that song when I was a little girl. I haven't heard it in forever but I was just singing it this morning so I thought I would post it.


Have fun on your weekend, Sarah.

 

[JC2]

The words are awesome and so true!

Have fun Sarah!

 

[zen1]

Thanks Sis and Jen!

What can wash away my sin
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Oh precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

This is all my hope and peace
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
This is all my righteousness
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Oh precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Oh precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

There is a mansion in heaven
Where the King of Glory He dwells
And there is a banqueting table
That the Father and His Son have prepared

Where angels bow
And elders throw their crowns
And the beasts of the fields
And the birds of the air
They will shout

Fill this house with Your glory Lord
Fill this place with Your praise
Fill this house with Your presence
Ancient of Days

There is a mansion in heaven
Here the King of Glory He dwells
I come to the banqueting table
That the Father and His Son have prepared

And I bow down
And I throw down my crown
WIth the beasts of the field
And the birds of the air
I will shout

Fill my life with Your glory Lord
Fill my heart with Your love
Fill my soul with Your presence
I can't get enough</Font>

 

[JC2]

Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you. Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baca (weeping), they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools. They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion.

Psalm 84:4-7

 

[Princess Michelle]

Here's an oldie for Jill, now the question is, does she remember it... I'm betting she does but we'll see.

Lost Inside of You/Jon Gibson w/Crystal Lewis

Turn another page
Reach a higher goal
Wiser than the age
But weaker in my soul
Somewhere down this road
I'm sure that I'll be fine
Lord, all within, Your perfect time

Rest a moment here
And wait upon His word
Then He'll draw you near
And a still, small voice is heard
And to our God
Everything surrendered on the way
Willing to say...

Can You find Yourself in me
When I lose myself in You
Searching for Your will I'm found
Lost in You, lost in You

Walk across the stage
Stare into the light
A master of charades
Or beacon in the night

You're trying hard
Wanting so to prove Him in your call
Leaving your own...

Can You find Yourself in me
When I lose myself in You
Searching for Your will I'm found
Lost inside of You

Searching for Your will I'm found
Lost inside of You

Can You find Yourself in me
When I lose myself in You
Searching for Your will I'm found
Lost inside of You

Find Yourself in me
Lose myself in You
Searching for Your will
Lost inside of You...

 

[Princess Michelle]

And just in case she might not know the last one, here's another... I can see Jilly strumming her guitar to this one.

Friend In You/Jon Gibson

Life has got you down
And there is nothing anyone can do
To turn it around
You wanted to be free
But all you got was misery

'Cause life don't love ya
When you're holdin' on
Or after you let go
So what's it matter who you are
Or what you do
Baby I know you wanna end it all
But please, before you do

My friend
I know what you've gone through
But Jesus died for you
So keep in mind
That although your heart is blue
Let it break in two
And you will find
A Friend that lives in you

Anything you want to know
Your Heavenly Father
Gives you things you need
To help you grow
And when you feel you can't
Go on no more
Just wait for Him to open the door

And He'll be with ya
When you're riding high
Or even when your down
So what's it matter what you gain
Or what you lose
Soon you will learn that a gift from God
Is an offer you can't refuse

My friend
I know what you've gone through
But Jesus died for you
So keep in mind
That although your heart is blue
Let it break in two
And you will find
A Friend that lives in you

Open your heart
And you'll find a Friend
That lives in you...

Hey Everyone!

Just thought I would sing a couple of songs before I get picked up for my church weekend.

Sis, I LOVE your new Tigger with your name! I wish I could figure out how to do that! And I really like that song, Friend In You!

More Than Words/ SCC

Lord, I don’t know what to say;
As I get down on my knees to pray,
The same old phrases come to mind,
But You’ve heard them all a thousand times.
It’s not that it’s untrue when I say "Lord, I love You",
It’s just that I want it to be more.

_ CHORUS
More than words, I want my prayer to be
More than words, thoughts my heart alone can speak;
As you listen to me tell of all Your power and mercy,
Lord, You know it’s my desire that what You hear is more than words.

_ As I open up this Book,
And read of all the love it took
For a holy God to care for man;
Spirit, help me understand.
It’s not that it’s unclear, it’s a letter to children,
But Lord I know it’s meant to be much more.

_ CHORUS
More than words, not just letters on a page;
More than words, for every line and every phrase
Was a breath of inspiration from a caring Father
Who gave the gift of His Son to prove He loved us more than words.

_ As I consider quietly the wonder of all Your ability,
It’s more than I can comprehend, and I find myself in need again;
But if I had every word and a thousand years to use them,
What You are to me would still be more, oh, so much more, more than words.

Higher Ways/ SCC

If I could only fly
I'd go up and look down from the sky
So I could see the bigger picture
And Lord if I could sit with You
At Your feet for an hour or two
I'm sure I'd ask too many questions
'Cause there's so much going on down here
That I must confess I just don't understand

BRIDGE
But I have prayed
And at your feet my whole life has been laid
So I wont worry I wont be afraid
'Cause my soul is resting on Your higher ways
Let the road ahead become unclear
I am Yours so what have I to fear
If my soul is resting on Your higher ways

CHORUS
Your higher ways teach me to trust You
Your higher ways are not like mine
Your higher ways are the ways of the Father
Hiding His children in His love

BRIDGE
So let it rain
And if my eyes grow dim with tears of pain
This hope I have will not be washed away
'Cause my soul is resting on Your higher ways

Maybe then You will take me aside
And show me the bigger picture
But until I'm with You
I'll be here with a heart that is true
And a soul that's resting on
Your higher ways

The Great Adventure/ SCC

Saddle up your horses

Started out this morning in the usual way
Chasing thoughts inside my head of all I had to do today
Another time around the circle try to make it better than the last

I opened up the Bible and I read about me
Said I'd been a prisoner and God's grace had set me free
And somewhere between the pages it hit me like a lightning bolt
I saw a big frontier in front of me and I heard somebody say "let's go"!

CHORUS
Saddle up your horses we've got a trail to blaze
Through the wild blue yonder of God's amazing grace
Let's follow our leader into the glorious unknown
This is a life like no other - this is The Great Adventure

Come on get ready for the ride of your life
Gonna leave long faced religion in a cloud of dust behind
And discover all the new horizons just waiting to be explored
This is what we were created for

(Chorus)

BRIDGE
We'll travel over, over mountains so high
We'll go through valleys below
Still through it all we'll find that
This is the greatest journey that the human heart will ever see
The love of God will take us far beyond our wildest dreams

Yeah... oh saddle up your horses... come on get ready to ride

(Chorus)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, I guess I better get going now, I still have to pack all my things up for my weekend! Bye everyone, see ya all on Monday!

 

[JC2]

<Font color="darkblue">
I don't understand Your ways
But I will give You my song
And I will give You all of my praise
You hold on to all my pain
And with it You are pulling me closer
Pulling me into Your ways

Now around every corner
And up every mountain
I'm not looking for crowns anymore
Or the water from fountains
I'm desperately seeking
I'm frantic, believing
The sight of Your face is all that I'm needing

I will say to You
It's gonna be worth it
It's gonna be worth it
It's gonna be worth it all
Oh I believe it
It's gonna be worth it
It's gonna be worth it
It's gonna be worth it all

I don't think I know that one but the words are great!

Yesterday was beautiful and sunny and hot and today was cool and cloudy. Tomorrow should be cool and sunny...so we're getting the full extent of conditions here!!!! The water temps are great and that's what matters most to me!

Thanks for prayers everyone and I am praying for you all!

Stamper, Where have you been hiding? We miss you!

 

[Princess Michelle]

I have had the chorus of this song positively stuck, stuck, stuck in my brain for the last two days!


King's Ransom

It's such a paradox - it's such a mystery
Why a King would leave His throne to save humanity
They could not have known when they mocked Him in disgrace
They could not have known when they spit upon His face

The Rose of Sharon wore a crown of thorns that day
The carpenter had a nail right through His hand
The Master of the earth became a servant of no worth
And paid a King's ransom for my soul
He paid a King's ransom for my soul

Creator of the earth - Name above all names
Some just stood in unbelief when listening to His claims
They could not have known when they hit Him with their fists
They could not have known when they nailed his feet and wrists

The Rose of Sharon wore a crown of thorns that day
The carpenter had a nail right through His hand
The Master of the earth became a servant of no worth
And paid a King's ransom for my soul
He paid a King's ransom for my soul

The ransom that He paid was the sacrifice he made
The life of a King in place of me
The shame that He bore for the rich and for the poor
Changed His crown of thorns into glory

The Rose of Sharon wore a crown of thorns that day
The carpenter had a nail right through His hand
The Master of the earth became a servant of no worth
And paid a King's ransom for my soul
He paid a King's ransom for my soul

 

[Princess Michelle]

Because He Lives/Bill Gaither

God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus;
He came to love, heal and forgive;
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!

How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
But greater still the calm assurance:
This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!

And then one day, I'll cross the river,
I'll fight life's final war with pain;
And then, as death gives way to vict'ry,
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!

 

[EdiePA]

Just feeling the need to lift up my hands and praise God this morning !!!


NEEDFUL HANDS

Jars of Clay – NEEDFUL HANDS
From the album – EXODUS
Label – Rocketown (1998)

For those under the clouds
Staring up in awesome wonder
As tears come slowly down
I’m reaching up a needful hand

You are my eyes when I cannot see
You are my voice see sing through me
You are my strength in weakness be

To find that I could fall
And still your grace surrounds pursuing
To freely stumble down
I feel your hands around my heart

You are my eyes when I cannot see
You are my voice see sing through me
You are my strength in weakness me

You are my strength, my voice, my eyes
I lift up needful hands
You are my strength, my voice, my eyes
I lift up needful hands

This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!

Edie
