His mercies never come to an end

They are new every morning

Great is Thy faithfulness, O Lord.
Great is Thy faithfulness.

Amen.

Hi everyone! Haven't posted much lately. Have been struggling a lot with some anxiety and depression since our car accident. Also lack of sleep as DS is still having a hard time. Spent a lot of time yesterday though searching the scripture for verses related to God being our strong tower, our refuge our strength and praying for Him to restore my joy, my fire, my passion for His word.

Listening to a "best of" by Newsong this morning and really enjoying it.....thought I would sing some.......my spirit feels so renewed this morning.

Come sing with me!

Newsong - Light Your World

Two doors down one rocking chair is rocking
She sits there all alone, her husband dead and gone
The best years of her life they spent together
He was always strong, but now she’s on her own
And the telephone never rings
No one laughs, no one sings
It’s quiet there
Does anyone care?

CHORUS:
Light your world
Let the love of God shine through
In the little things you do
Light your world
And though your light may be
Reaching only two or three
Light your world

A knocking at her door breaks the silence
She looks out to see a little boy from down the street
She cracks the door, surprised that he came over
Flowers in his hand like a little gentleman
He said, "I picked these just for you
I hope you like the color blue
Could I stay a while
I love to see you smile."

CHORUS

It only takes a little time
To show someone how much you care
It only takes a little time
To answer someone’s biggest prayer

CHORUS

This is a newer song, they did it at Winter Jam this past Saturday http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1003583

Rescue - Nesong

You are the Son of light
I can't be left behind
No one else will do
I will take hold of You
I need You, Jesus
Come to my rescue
Where else could I go?
There’s no other name by which I am saved
Capture me with grace
I will follow You
My heart is Yours for life
I need Your hand in mine
No one else will do
Lord, I put my trust in You
I need You Jesus
Come to my rescue
Where else could I go?
There’s no other name by which I am saved
Oh capture me with grace
I will follow You
This world has nothing for me
This world has nothing for me
This world has nothing for me
(I will follow You)
This world has nothing for me
I need You Jesus
Come to my rescue
Where else could I go?
There’s no other name by which I am saved
Capture me with grace
I will follow You
Oh I need You Jesus
To come to my rescue
Where else could I go?
There’s no other name by which I am saved
Capture me with grace
Won't You Capture me with grace
I will follow You
I will follow You
This world has nothing for me
This world has nothing for me

Newsong - Jesus to the World

A little girl who is hungry
Prays for something she can eat
A single mom doing all she can
Finds herself out on the street
Will we see their need and hear their cries
Look at our watch and just walk on by
Or will we stop and take the time
To be Jesus in their lives

CHORUS:
We need to be lambs that roar
We need to be eagles that soar
We need to be salt
We need to be light
We need to be Jesus to the world

We need to take love into the streets
Be willing to turn the other cheek
We need to be strong
We need to be weak
We need to be Jesus
Jesus to the world

Jesus came with a message
That would change the way we live
He showed us all by example
What the heart of heaven is

He saw our need and He heard our cry
He loved us so much that He gave His life
He taught us by his sacrifice
How we should live our lives

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
We can talk and talk about what is wrong
But that won't change one thing at all
We must take God's love where the hurting live
'Cause that's what Jesus did

CHORUS

We need to be Jesus
Jesus to the world

Newsong - We Wear His Name

A little boy hangs his head and starts to pray
His daddy’s gone away to who knows where
He needs a hand to hold
He needs to feel there is hope
He needs someone to tell him
Jesus cares
That’s why we are here

CHORUS
We wear His name
The name above all names
We wear His name
In a world that’s lost in hopelessness
We’ve been called to be the light
We wear His name

A troubled man
He cries what have I done
I can’t loose my wife and son
Lord help me please
He needs to know there is hope
Someone to share the load
Someone to give the Love that sets men free
Someone like you and me

REPEAT CHORUS

When we see those in desperate need
How can we pass them by
Let’s not forget we represent
The name of Jesus Christ

REPEAT CHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS

Newsong - Hero Of The Faith - A Tribute to Billy Graham

Billy I remember the first time that I saw you on our black and white
I was just a little tyke but I remember it well

Billy I remember wanting to grow up and be a man like you
Serve the Lord the way you do, Yes I remember it well

And Billy through the years you’ve been a great example of faithfulness
As you stood before the world and you proclaimed what the Bible says

Chorus
We know you don’t want to be called a hero
And Billy we know, we understand, you’re just another man
But you’ve been so faithful to the call
And Billy, you’ve stood tall
You’re a hero of the faith to us all

Billy I remember the miracle I saw when you said “come to Christ”
So many came to give their lives, I remember it well

Billy I remember thanking God for sending us a man like you
If only He could use me too, yes I remember it well

And Billy through the years you’ve been a great example of faithfulness
As you’ve stood before the Lord and you proclaimed what the Bible says

REPEAT CHORUS

You sure keep it simple, you sure preach it plain
And Billy I sure wish all would preach it just the same

REPEAT CHORUS

You’re a hero of the faith to us all

Be Strong and Take Courage - Don Moen with Integrity Music from "God With Us"

Be strong and take courage
Do not fear or be dismayed
For the Lord will go before you
And His life will show the way

CHORUS
Be srong and take courage
Do not fear
Or be dismayed
For the One
Who lives within you
Will be strong in you today

Why don't you give Him
All of your fears
Why don't you let Him
Wipe all of your tears
He knows
He's been through pain before
And He knows
All that you've been looking for

REPEAT CHORUS X2

Nothing can take you
Out of His hand
Nothing can face you
That you can't command
I know that you
Will always be
In His love
In His power
You will be free

REPEAT CHORUS X3

Be strong, be strong, be strong, be strong, be strong

 

[JC2]

Jill, I really like that song you sang. I cannot think of the name of it... "Prince of Peace"?... I'm not sure. But it's a great song and a lot of fun to sing. Such truths in it!

Cristy, such a blessing to hear how you have been strengthened and renewed by seeking Him in His Word and by such great music. Thanks for all the songs you shared!

LIVING LIFE UPSIDE DOWN – BY TRUTH

John has a new way of looking at life
He’s tired of his job, his kids, and his wife
Says the secret to his success was in leaving and finding himself
Now he is someone to somebody else

You say we have risen to a new age of truth
You’re calling it a spiritual godly pursuit
But I say, I say, I say

CHORUS
What if we fall into the bottom of a well
Thinking we have risen to the top of a mountain
What if we are knocking at the gates of hell
Thinking we are heaven bound
What if we spend our lives thinking of ourselves
When we should have been thinking of each other
What if we reach up and touch the ground
To find we are living life
Upside down, upside down

We’ve got a program for saving the earth
While unborn children are denied their right to birth
One babies blessed, another cursed
Have we made this world better or worse
Now that life of a dream comes first

You say we have risen to a new age of light
You’re telling me what used to be wrong is now right
But I say, I say, I say

REPEAT CHORUS

To find we are living life upside down

REPEAT CHORUS

What if we are living, what if we are living
What if we are living, what if we are living
Upside down……………

 

[live4christp1]

One of my all time favorites from Truth - Isn't it wonderful to know that we can trust God in all things? Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I ave for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

JESUS NEVER FAILS – TRUTH

So many souls have tested Him
Throughout the course of time
So many still reach out to Him
With broken hearts and minds

And every one of them will say
With no exception that they find
Jesus never fails

Even in the days of old
He brought His people through
And then He came to show His love
And died for me and you

And He rose again to prove
That every story had been true
That Jesus never fails

CHORUS
Jesus never fails
Jesus never fails
You might as well get thee behind me satan
You cannot prevail
Because Jesus never fails

Sometimes this world brings trouble
I find so hard to bear
I know I could not make it without
Jesus being there

It is so encouraging to know
That however deep we’re in despair
That Jesus never fails

So what can I do to prove to you
Tell me how can you deny
No untold facts, no mysteries
It’s all so cut and dry

On the witness stand of your life
I’ll be the first to testify
That Jesus never fails

REPEAT CHORUS x3

 

[polysisterchick]

I dunno if anyone has posted this song yet, but we sang it in church today and I loved it.

Grace like Rain
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see so clearly

Chorus:
Hallelujah,
grace like rain falls down on me
Hallelujah,
all my stains are washed away, washed away

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Chorus

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing Your praise
Than when we first begun

 

[JC2]

Hi polysisterchick!! I am so glad you found this thread and sang that song. I really like it! Hope you'll continue to sing with us when you have time.

Cristy, love that scripture and the reminder of Jesus' unfailing love.

 

[Straitlover]

Do any of you singers know this song? I've only heard it a couple of times on the raido, so I don't know if it's brand new or an old one. It's a guy singing it, it's upbeat, and this is the chorus:

It's a beautiful day,
I will dance, I will sing;
I will thank You for the life You've given me.
It's a beautiful day,
Oh, I can see, I can breathe;
I can feel Your presence all around me.
This is the day the Lord has made, and it's a beautiful day!

I really like it and want to get the accompaniment track. I've searched on Christianbook.com and the local Christian book store w/ no success.

If anyone knows it, can you PM me in case I forget to chekc back here? Thanks!!!! God Bless!

 

[live4christp1]

Hey Lisa,

I did a search for your lyrics on a couple of different Christian music lyrics websites that I have but it didn't pull up anything. I can't say that I have ever heard it. Sometimes if it is something played on your local station you can email them and ask and they will tell you who it is. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Maybe someone else here knows it.


Here is my contribution for the day! Enjoy!

If I Said Nothing – Michael O’Brien

They say that a picture paints thousands of words
And actions speak volumes were love is concerned
I could preach you a sermon hoping you would agree
But in my silence would you see God in me

CHORUS
I’m gonna give you no arguments to try and make you believe
Just evidence of the changes in me
If I said nothing what would it say to you
If I testify by living the proof
If I couldn’t speak the words
I pray the truth would be heard
What would my life say to you
If I said nothing at all

I look in the mirror and it tells me the truth
But you see my reflection in the things that I do
If I’m a believer then I live my beliefs
If I am a Christian then Christ should be seen

REPEAT CHORUS

Every eye will see His glorious face
Every ear will hear His voice on that day
He is Lord of all and forever will be
But I pray that today you’ll see Him living in me

REPEAT CHORUS FROM LINE 3 x3

Good morning all !

The Old Rugged Cross - Acappella

On a hill far away
Stood an old rugged cross
The emblem of suffering and shame

And I love that old cross
Where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain

CHORUS
So I’ll cherish the old rugged
Until my trophies I at last lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown

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

For that old rugged cross
So despised by the world
Has a wondrous attraction for me

For the Dear, Dear Lamb of God
He left His glory far above
To bear and to die on Calvary

REPEAT CHORUS

To the old rugged cross
I will ever be true

He is going to call me, call me someday
To my home far away
His glory forever I’ll cherish

REPEAT CHORUS

 

[live4christp1]

I really like this song!

Matthew West - NEXT THING YOU KNOW

I remember when I was thirteen I saw a picture on my T.V. screen The Reverend Billy Graham and the people singing "Just As I Am" And it felt like You were talking to me And the whole world seemed to fade away Until I heard my mother say "Son, are you okay? Do you wanna pray?" And that became the hour I first believed

Chorus Next thing you know I'm high and flyin' Next thing you know My heart is in your hands Next thing you know There's no denyin' Next thing you know I'm a brand new man

Well, I wish I could say I always stayed right there And I did until my freshman year But the world was pulling me a long way from thirteen And you were calling but I didn't hear Still I knew there was something more So, one day my knees hit the dorm room floor I said, "If you're there, and if you really care, Come and talk to me like I was thirteen."

Got a picture in my head today of how heaven might look someday I see the people there, so I pull up a chair And their stories, they blow me away 'Cause I can see it on every face The evidence of grace And as I listen it occurs to me Everybody's got their own thirteen

So, what's your story about His glory? You gotta find your place in the history of grace Yeah, what's your story about His glory? Come on and find your place

Saw Casting Crowns in concert this weekend and they were such a blessing!!!! If you get a chance to see them do, they are excellent praise and worship leaders and their lyrics are so powerful.


American Dream - Casting Crowns
All work no play may have made Jack a dull boy
But all work no God has left Jack with a lost soul
But he's moving on full steam
He's chasing the American dream
And he's gonna give his family the finer things

Not this time son I've no time to waste
Maybe tomorrow we'll have time to play
And then he slips into his new BMW
And drives farther and farther and farther away

So He works all day and tries to sleep at night
He says things will get better;
Better in time

'Cause he works and he builds with his own two hands
And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand
But the wind and the rain are coming' crashing in
Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
His kingdom stands

His American Dream is beginning to seem
More and more like a nightmare
With every passing day
"Daddy, can you come to my game?"
"Oh Baby, please don't work late."
Another wasted weekend
And they are slipping away

'Cause he works all day and lies awake at night
he tells them things will get better
It'll just take a little more time

He used to say, "Whoever dies with the most toys wins"
But if he loses his soul, what has he gained in the end
I'll take a shack on a rock
Over a castle in the sand

Now he works all day and cries alone at night
It's not getting any better
Looks like he's running out of time

'Cause he worked and he built with his own two hands
And he poured all he had in a castle made with sand
But the wind and the rain are coming crashing in
Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
His kingdom stands

All they really wanted was you
All they really wanted was you
All they really wanted was you



If We Are The Body - Casting Crowns
It's crowded in worship today
As she slips in trying to fade into the faces
The girls teasing laughter is carrying farther than they know
Farther than they know

But if we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing?
Why aren't His words teaching?
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
There is a way

A traveler is far away from home
He sheds his coat and quietly sinks into the back row
The weight of their judgmental glances
Tells him that his chances are better out on the road

But if we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing?
Why aren't His words teaching?
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
There is a way

Jesus paid much too high a price
For us to pick and choose who should come
And we are the body of Christ

But if we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing?
Why aren't His words teaching?
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
There is a way

Jesus is the way
