If My People Pray/ Avalon

Now is the season for healing
Deeply we need to see God's mercy revealing
Where we have fallen from His way
For we know He gives hope to the humble
Gives light in the darkness
And grace when we stumble
Let us call on His name together
Knowing He will say...If My People Pray
And reach for Me with hearts that are broken
I will not forget what I've spoken
Come and seek My face
And heaven will rain Rivers of My grace overflowing
Night and day My ears will be open
If My people pray Now is the day to awaken
To pray with conviction
For the souls of the nation
So let us call on His name
Whose faithful promise still remains..
If My people pray
(If My people who are called by My name)
And reach for Me with hearts that are broken
(Humble themselves and pray)
I will not forget what I've spoken
Come and seek My face(Seek Me)
And heaven will rain( If My people who are called by My name)
Rivers of My grace overflowing( Turn from their wicked ways)
Night and day My ears will be open
If My people pray
Let us not grow weary as we wait for the day
When the light turns our night into morning
On our knees, calling Your name as we lift our hearts to heaven Yeah,
Knowing You will say...

Too cold, huh? I'll gladly switch weather with you. It's so hot down here you literally start melting when you walk outside.

, it's too cold to go swimming. We only got a high of about 70 today and now it is starting to rain. Okay I will switch weather with you, but once I start melting then you can have all the sunshine back. LOL

It was 92* here today! The kids had a blast playing in the sprinkler.

Above all powers
Above all kings
Above all nature
And all created things
Above all wisdom
And all the ways of man
You were here
Before the world began

Crucified
Laid behind the stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like the rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all

Above all kingdoms
Above all thrones
Above all wonders
The world has ever known
Above all wealth
And treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure
What You're worth

Crucified
Laid behind the stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like the rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all

 

[Otto's Doll]

Alleluia
Alleluia
For the Lord God Almighty reigns

Alleluia
Alleluia
For the Lord God Almighty reigns

Alleluia
Holy
Holy are You Lord God Almighty
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb

You are holy
Holy are you Lord God Almighty
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb

Amen

Here is an old one.. first Christian song I EVER heard that wasn't a hymn.

A Friday night affair
Out in the city heat
Always a party there
Along the sordid street
And it was guaranteed
The place to be was Rocketown

The drinks were two for one
Inside the crowded bars
The girls would make their run
Down on the boulevard
It was the idol place
We lived the ways of Rocketown
Hang around by the street light
In the heart of the night life

There came a certain man
A stranger to the crowd
We didn't understand
What he was all about
He walked a different pace
So out of place in Rocketown
They made a fool of him
They teased him when he's speak
But when they knocked him down
He turned the other cheek
He told me I could find
A life outside of Rocketown
Hang around by the street light
In the heart of the night life

(CHORUS)
What was his mission
Where was he going
Why was his heart light always glowing
All I was missing
He stood there holding
What was his secret
Could I know it

Some didn't like him near
Some laughed and turned away
But me, I longed to hear
All that he had to say
He had a peace of mind
I couldn't find in Rocketown
And when I reached down inside me
I could feel the emptiness

He said it's in the heart
This change that comes to be
Now he had done his part
The rest was up to me
As we were standing there
He said a prayer for Rocketown
As we were standing there
He said a prayer for Rocketown

He walked off silently
And prayed for me
And Rocketown...

Hey there, Sarah , Chell, Jilly , fur , Tash, Edie, Pogo, Kim, and everyone else...

 

[zen1]

Jeanne, I wish it was 92* here today, so I could have jumped in that pool! I know you all are thinking I am for wanting it to be sooooo hot. LOL

 

[Otto's Doll]

These last few days I have been very thankful for our central air! Sarah, I haven't forgotten you, I promise! The kids have been up late, and by the time I get them down, I am wiped out. I will chat with you soon, though.

 

[sm4987]

Everyone. I'm back. Had a nice trip. I have lot's of things to do, so I will write more later.

Have a blessed day

 

[Otto's Doll]

We missed you Sheree'! Nice to have you back.

 

[Princess Michelle]

Woo Hoo, Jeanne! Breakin' out the old school Michael W. Smith! 92! You guys are scorching too! I don't think it would be so bad here if it weren't so dang humid!

Sarah! 70 is too cold to go swimming????

Welcome back Sheree'! I hope you had a wonderful time!

 

[zen1]

Jeanne, I know that you have not forgotten about me and you can call when you have more time.

Sis, I would have still gone swimming today, but my friend called me and said it is to cold for her and that she did not want to freeze to death. 70 here in the month of June is cold for us. So you can send all of that sunshine here to me or at least for one week. LOL And how are you feeling today?

Welcome back Sheree'! Can't wait to hear all about your trip!

 

[stamper]

Hey guys! It was in the 80's here I think. We went to my parent's house on the lake for a swim. The water is still cool, so it was a quick swim for me....DD stayed in for an hr. or so. DS had a hard time 'cause of his finger...his splint fell off and had to be put back on. We had fun.

Meeeshellll hope the Doc figures out how to help you!

Welcome back Sarah!

Hi Jeanne...nice to see you too!

 

[zen1]

Hi Tasha! I am glad you all were able to go swimming for a little bit even though it was cold in the water. I hope your DS finger feels better soon and I bet that was not very fun when his splint fell off. I so wish I could have gone swimming today, maybe next week sometime when my friend has a day off again. We both work together( she is my boss, but we are really good friends and get along very well) so it should not be a problem to find a day that works for the both of us.

Love/ Petra

Love is patient, love is kind
No eyes of envy, true love is blind
Love is humble, it knows no pride
No selfish motive hidden inside
Love is gentle, makes no demands
Despite all wrong, true live still stands
Love is holy, love is pure
It lasts FOREVER, it will endure

(Chorus)

Love knows when to let go
Love knows when to say no
Love grows in the light of the Son
And love shows the world that the Son of Love has come

Love is loyal, believes the best
It loves the truth, love stands the test
Love is God sent in His Son
Love forgives all we have done
In this world where hatred seems to grow
True love goes against the flow
And becomes so hard to show

In this world where push turns to shove
We have strength to rise above
Through the power of His love
Lord, we need to know the power of Your love

"Make a joyful noise unto the Lord." Psalms 100:1

I wonder if expressing appreciation to others fits into the category of joyful noise? (I'm thinking yes! )

 

[zen1]

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

And thanks for the today!

[Otto's Doll]

I may not be every mother's dream for her little girl,
And my face may not grace the mind of everyone in the world.
But that's all right, as long as I can have one wish I pray:
When people look inside my life, I want to hear them say,

She's got her father's eyes,
Her father's eyes;
Eyes that find the good in things,
When good is not around;
Eyes that find the source of help,
When help just can't be found;
Eyes full of compassion,
Seeing every pain;
Knowing what you're going through
And feeling it the same.
Just like my father's eyes,
My father's eyes,
My father's eyes,
Just like my father's eyes.

And on that day when we will pay for all the deeds we have done,
Good and bad they'll all be had to see by everyone.
And when you're called to stand and tell just what you saw in me,
More than anything I know, I want your words to be,

She had her father's eyes,
Her father's eyes;
Eyes that found the good in things,
When good was not around;
Eyes that found the source of help,
When help would not be found;
Eyes full of compassion,
Seeing every pain;
Knowing what you're going through,
And feeling it the same.
Just like my father's eyes,
My father's eyes,
My father's eyes,
Just like my father's eyes.
My father's eyes,
My father's eyes,
Just like my father's eyes.

Would'a, Should'a, Could'a/ Petra

Life is filled with many chances
Some you took, and you some you blew
Your path in life can turn ever so quickly
On everything you say
And change with everything you do

I know that was then
There's nothing I can do about what might have been

(Chorus)
Would'a, should'a, could'a done this and that
Don't wanna live life with another regret
Would'a, should'a, could'a made another choice
I can see more the older I get
Would'a, should'a, could'a said something more
But it's too late - there's a knock at the door
Would'a, should'a, could'a won't change a thing
The here and now is waiting

Would'a, should'a, could'a right now

We dig our pit, we make our bed
That's where we fall and where we lay
But we still have a shot to make things better
'Cause it ain't over yet
And we can get it right today
We can make the right choice
You know it's easy when you hear God's voice

(Chorus)

I want to live my life not only thinking of the past
The future tells me that my life has not been cast
I want to say "I will, I did" instead of could or should
Gonna believe in the promise "It's all good"

(Chorus)
