Hi everyone!

Blessed be your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where the streams of abundance flow
Blessed be your name

Blessed be your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be your name

Every blessing you pour out,
I turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say...
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

Blessed be your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's all as it should be
Blessed be your name

Blessed be your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be your name

Every blessing you pour out,
I turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say...
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, Blessed be your name

I am listening to that right now by Rebecca St. James and Newsboys.

my savior - aaron shust

I am not skilled to understand
What God has willed, what God has planned
I only know at His right hand
Stands one who is my Savior
I take Him at His word and deed
Christ died to save me; this I read
And in my heart I find a need
Of Him to be my savior
That He would leave His place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my Savior
Chorus (2x’s)
My Savior loves, My Savior lives
My Savior’s always there for me
My God: He was, my God; He is
My God is always gonna be
Yes, living, dying, let me bring
My strength, my solace from this spring;
That He who lives to be my King
Once died to be my Savior
That He would leave His place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my Savior
Chorus (2x’s)
(Instrumental)
Chorus: (2x’s)
My Savior loves, My Savior lives
My Savior loves, My Savior lives

hi again everybody, good to see ya'll again, i'll try not to stay away so long from now on.

Hey you guys, I need some lyric/artist help. This is a song that came out about 10 years or so ago and all I can remember is the last 2 lines of the chorus.

What if we reach up and touch the ground
To find we're living life upside down.

What is the rest of the chorus and who the heck sings it? I can't remember who?!?!

Hey Lindsay,

That is one of my favorites. It is by Truth and I have a copy of it right here at my desk on the "A Decade of Truth, So Far, So Good" cassette. We got to see them several times live here in Chattanooga and the surrounding area, I was so sad when they announced their last album and tour. Truth spanned such a wide time range and so many artists came out of the group.

Here are the lyrics:

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……………

Verse 1:
Superman, alias Clark Kent,
flys so high up in the sky.
Always heard about the King of the sea,
who traveled about the ocean deep.
But there is a name I do recall,
the greatest hero of them all;
He holds the world in the palm of His hands,
the universe at His command.

Chorus 1:
Oh, He is my hero
(He’ll love your hurt away)
Oh, He is my hero
(if He can’t do it nobody can).

But Jesus Christ, controls the sea,
the elements, both you and me;
He hold the world in the palm of His hands,
the universe at His command.

Chorus 2:
Oh, He is my hero
(Shelter in the time of my storms)
Oh, He is my hero
(if He can’t do it nobody can).

Vamp 1:
It’s not a bird, it’s not a plane,
it’s just my superman, Jesus is His name.

Faster than a train upon a track,
can come from heaven to my rescue and go right back.

 

[stamper]

Hi Ladies, Nice to see you again. I'll have to see if I can find a song to sing.

 

[Saphire]

Greetings everyone. Just keep singing!

Once Again

Jesus Christ, I think upon Your sacrifice
You became nothing, poured out to death
Many times I've wondered at Your gift of life
And I'm in that place once again
I'm in that place once again

And once again I look upon the cross where You died
I'm humbled by Your mercy and I'm broken inside
Once again I thank You
Once again I pour out my life

Now You are exalted to the highest place
King of the heavens, where one day I'll bow
But for now I marvel at Your saving grace
And I'm full of praise once again
I'm full of praise once again

Thank You for the cross
Thank You for the cross
Thank You for the cross, my friend

 

[Otto's Doll]

Wow, it sure is great to see everyone!

"Keep Singing"

Another rainy day
I can't recall having sunshine on my face
All I feel is pain
All I wanna do is walk out of this place
But when I am stuck and I can't move
When I don't know what I should do
When I wonder if I'll ever make it through

I gotta keep singing
I gotta keep praising Your name
Your the one that's keeping my heart beating
I gotta keep singing
I gotta keep praising Your name
That's the only way that I'll find healing

Can I climb up in Your lap
I don't wanna leave
Jesus sing over me
I gotta keep singing

Can I climb up in Your lap
I don't wanna leave
Jesus sing over me
I gotta keep singing

Oh You're everything I need
And I gotta keep singing.

I'm joining this kind of late. Never knew this thread existed! But here's my song. When I found out I had cancer last year this became my song. Enjoy.

Shelby

Strong Tower/Kutless

When I wander through the desert
And I'm longing for my home
All my dreams have gone astray
When I'm stranded in the valley
And I'm tired and all alone
It seems like I've lost my way

(chorus)
I go runnin' to Your mountain
Where your mercy sets me free
You are my strong tower
Shelter over me
Beautiful and mighty
Everlasting King
You are my strong tower
Fortress when I'm weak
Your name is true and holy
And Your face is all I seek

In the middle of my darkness
In the midst of all my fear
You're my refuge and my hope
When the storm of life is raging
And the thunder's all I hear
You speak softly to my soul

(chorus)
now i'm runnin' to Your mountain
Where your mercy sets me free

You are my strong tower
Shelter over me
Beautiful and mighty
Everlasting King
You are my strong tower
Fortress when I'm weak
Your name is true and holy
And Your face is all I seek
And Your face is all I seek
Yeah" Your face is all I seek

I go runnin' to your mountain
Where your mercy sets me free

You are my strong tower
Shelter over me
Beautiful and mighty
Everlasting King
You are my strong tower
Fortress when I'm weak
Your name is true and holy
"Your name is true and holy"

You are my strong tower
Shelter over me
Beautiful and mighty
Everlasting King
You are my strong tower
Fortress when I'm weak
Your name is true and holy
And Your face is all I seek

 

[Saphire]

Hey N&B'smom, glad you found this thread. I have discovered Kutless recently and have a new favorite band. I hadn't heard of the song you mentioned, so went looking for it online. Awesome! I am glad God gave comfort to you through that song at a difficult time. While looking around tonight, I found the video for Sea of Faces, also by Kutless...ever seen it? So, so good. here is the link

"Sea Of Faces"

I see the city lights all around me
Everyone's obscure
Ten million people each with their problems
Why should anyone care

And in Your eyes I can see
I am not just a man, vastly lost in this world
Lost in a Sea of Faces
Your body's the bread, Your blood is the wine
Because you traded Your life for mine

Sometimes my life it feels so trivial
Immersed in the greatness of space
Yet somehow you still find the time for me
It's then You show me Your love

And In Your eyes I can see
And in Your arms I will be
I am not just a man, vastly lost in this world
Lost in a Sea of Faces
Your body's the bread, Your blood is the wine
Because you traded Your life for mine

If only my one heart
Was all you'd gain from all it cost
Well I know you would have still been a man
With a reason
To willingly offer your life

I am not just a man, vastly lost in this world
Lost in a Sea of Faces
Your body's the bread, Your blood is the wine
Because you traded Your life for mine

Just one in a million faces

 

[lajones81]

Just jumping in to say that I love Kutless! I saw them in concert last fall at a local church and got autographs from the band! It was SO cool!

 

[ktulu]

Kutless is awesome, they did a CD release party here in the DFW area (2nd album I believe) thanks to the great suppor they get from the listeners of the local Christian Rock Station, 89.7 Power FM. If Contemporary Christian Music is too "soft" for you, then check out Power FM, they do streaming, their website is www.kvrk.com

 

[Stitch's O'hana]

Wow, it has been soooooooooo long since I have seen this thread! It's so good to see all of you! This is Zen1( Sarah), but now have a new user name~ Stitch'sOhana. But it's really me! AKA~ Sarah Sunshine.

SHOW YOU LOVE/ Jars of Clay
speak
and say the words that no one else will ever say
love
love like the world we know is over in a day
Chorus:
i'm gonna show you love in every language
i'm gonna speak with words that need no form
i'm gonna give you what you never had before
and you're beautiful
and i am weakened by the force of your eyes
so shine bright
to separate the truth from the lies
i'm gonna show you love
[CHORUS]
what you never had before
had before
so tie me to a tree and let the smoke and ash collect
no, i won't regret to let love do what love will let
and you can drown in mixed emotions and walk across an angry sea
this is the cost of being free
[CHORUS x 2]
i'm gonna show you love, love in every language
i'm gonna show you love you never had before
i'm gonna show you love, love in every language
i'm gonna show you love you never had before
i'm gonna show you love

 

[Stitch's O'hana]

Artist: Kutless
Album: Strong Tower
Song: Draw Me Close


Draw me close to you
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear you say that I'm your friend

Help me find a way to bring me back to you

Chorus:
You're all I want, You're all I've ever needed
You're all I want,
Help me know you are near

You are my desire
No one else will do
Cause no one else
Can take you place
To feel the warmth of Your embrace

Help me find a way to bring me back to you

Chorus:
You're all I want, You're all I've ever needed
You're all I want,
Help me know you are near

 

[Stitch's O'hana]

Artist: Third Day
Album: Wherever You Are
Song: Cry Out To Jesus


To everyone who's lost someone they love
Long before it was their time
You feel like the days you had were not enough
when you said goodbye

And to all of the people with burdens and pains
Keeping you back from your life
You believe that there's nothing and there is no one
Who can make it right

There is hope for the helpless
Rest for the weary
Love for the broken heart
There is grace and forgiveness
Mercy and healing
He'll meet you wherever you are
Cry out to Jesus, Cry out to Jesus

For the marriage that's struggling just to hang on
They lost all of their faith in love
They've done all they can to make it right again
Still it's not enough

For the ones who can't break the addictions and chains
You try to give up but you come back again
Just remember that you're not alone in your shame
And your suffering

When your lonely
And it feels like the whole world is falling on you
You just reach out, you just cry out to Jesus
Cry to Jesus

To the widow who struggles with being alone
Wiping the tears from her eyes
For the children around the world without a home
Say a prayer tonight

 

[Stitch's O'hana]

Artist: Switchfoot
Album: The Beautiful Letdown
Song: Dare You To Move


Welcome to the Planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next?

I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before

Welcome to the Fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be

Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here

 

[Stitch's O'hana]

Hey Jeanne, my "Moving Buddy"!!!!!!!! I have sure missed you! So glad I found you again my moving buddy, I can't lose you! And I love that song, Mercyme!

Wow, it sure is great to see everyone!

"Keep Singing"

Another rainy day
I can't recall having sunshine on my face
All I feel is pain
All I wanna do is walk out of this place
But when I am stuck and I can't move
When I don't know what I should do
When I wonder if I'll ever make it through

I gotta keep singing
I gotta keep praising Your name
Your the one that's keeping my heart beating
I gotta keep singing
I gotta keep praising Your name
That's the only way that I'll find healing

Can I climb up in Your lap
I don't wanna leave
Jesus sing over me
I gotta keep singing

Can I climb up in Your lap
I don't wanna leave
Jesus sing over me
I gotta keep singing

Oh You're everything I need
And I gotta keep singing.

 

[Otto's Doll]

Sarah Sunshine!! It is good to see you, too. I was just thinking of you the other day. I see that you moved from MN, how did that go? Are you working or going to school?

What a blessing to be here singing with you all!


Michael W. Smith \ Breathe

This is the air I breathe
This is the air I breathe
Your holy presence living in me

This is my daily bread
This is my daily bread
Your very word spoken to me

And I I'm desperate for you
And I I'm I'm lost without you

This is the air I breathe
This is the air I breathe
Your holy presence living in me

This is my daily bread
this is my daily bread
your very word spoken to me

And I'm, I'm desperate for you
And I'm, I'm lost without you

And I'm desperate for you
And I'm, I'm lost without you.

I'm lost without you.

I'm lost without you.

I'm desperate for you.

I'm desperate for you..

I'm lost, I'm lost, I'm lost without you..
I'm lost without you

I'm desperate for you

 

[cybrkitn]

Wow! I didn't know this thread existed either, but glad I saw it! I have a few favorite songs. "Set Me Free" and "Does Anybody Here Her" both by Casting Crowns.

My favorite, however, is "I Can Only Imagine" by Mercy Me. This has a very special meaning to me as it was played at my SIL's wake last April after she died of cancer (at age 54). Her last words were, "I saw Jesus! Angels took me to Him and I'm going back!"

Artist: Mercy Me
Song: I can Only Imagine

I can only imagine
What it will be like
When I walk
By your side

I can only imagine
What my eyes will see
When your face
Is before me
I can only imagine

[Chorus]
Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for your Jesus or in awe of you be still
Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine

I can only imagine
When that day comes
And I find myself
Standing in the Son

I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever
Forever worship you
I can only imagine

[Chorus]

I can only imagine
I can only imagine

I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever, forever worship you
