Hey Fur! I don't think I've ever heard the song you are talking about. I like what you posted of it though.



You're calling me to lay aside
The worries of my day
To quiet down my busy mind
And find a hiding place
Worthy, You are worthy

Open up my heart
And let my spirit worship Your's
Open up my mouth
And let a song of praise come forth
Worthy, You are worthy

Of a childlike faith
And of my honest praise
And of my unashamed love
Of a holy life
And of my sacrifice
And of my unashamed love

Worthy, You are worthy
Worthy, You are worthy
Worthy, You are worthy
Worthy, You are worthy

 

[JC2]

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Romans 12:9-21

 

[Princess Michelle]

I have A Maker
He formed my heart
Before even time began
My life was in His hands

He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And hears me when I call

I have a father
He calls me His own
He'll never leave me
No matter where I go

He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And hears me when I call

He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And hears me when I call

And hears me when I call
And hears me when I call

Yes, He knows my name

 

[JC2]

Love that song, Michelle

 

[Princess Michelle]

Thanks for posting that portion of scripture, Fur. A good one to remember to be sure!

 

[JC2]

There's a site that I look at that has like a daily scripture and a portion of that scripture was on there today. So I looked up the entire chapter and read the surrounding verses and was like Whoa. lol
I think it's quite cool. It leaves no room for speculation or guessing what God expects from us. Thankfully, He doesn't expect us to do it without His help.

 

[Hemi-mom]

Hi all! So glad to be back but BOY, am I busy! School starts for me next Tuesday and for my kids next Wednesday!

Michelle you can sing 4HIM ANYTIME FOR HOWEVER LONG YOU LIKE!!! And about the comment of never having too much of 4HIM, I can totally relate...After Jesus, of course, I think the only "hims" that come ahead of them for me are MY four hims and BryanD!!!

Thanks for that awesome scripture Jen! I have really so enjoyed reading it over and over at the end of my work day here. It is quite amazing how it is applying to certain things in my life right now. God is so awesome!!!!!!! Praise You Father!

I am just ending my second in-service day here and I have to come back for an hour this evening for a student walk through of our new facility. I'll try to sing a song I have been really meditating on before I head out...

Be You Everything/Big Daddy Weave

When you’re lost and all alone
I will be your sure way home
When you’re left out in the cold
I will be your shelter from the storm
When you’re clouded by your doubts
When you’re surrounded and there’s no other way out
I will be all that you need
And I’m here for the asking
Yea

Let me be your everything
Let me be your everything
Look at all that I will bring
In exchange for what you have
Let me be your everything

When you're wandering in the darkness
I will be the light that guides you
And when death is standing at your doorway
I will be the life inside you

When you face your deepest fears
When you can't see thru all the tears
I will stay year after year
So patiently waiting
Here me saying

Let me be your everything
Let me be your everything
Look at all that I will bring
In exchange for what you have
Let me be your everything

So bring your sorrow, bring your shame
All your suffering and your pain
Don’t you know the price is paid
If only you’ll let me be

Neither height nor depth, nor life, nor death
The angels above or the demons beneath the sea
Could ever seperate you from
The love in me, so won't you

Let me be your everything
Let me be your everything
Look at all that I will bring
In exchange for what you have
Let me be your everything

So bring your sorrow, bring your shame
All your suffering and your pain
Don’t you know the price is paid
If only you’ll let me be

Jilly, I knew you would agree with me! I love that Big Daddy Weave song! I thought about you and BryanD the other night. I was watching some old tapes I have of Fire By Night (anyone remember that show?) and him and Kim Boyce were the guests for this one episode. This is pretty old so we're talking the HUGE spiked mullet, dangling earring, wild shirt and bolo tie. It was a hoot seeing him look like that when he's a bit more subdued these days. He sang Sunday Go To Meeting. Pretty hillarious. Now back to the more important subject, 4HIM. I was watching another tape that had some CCM Magazine shows on it and there was one where they taped at Night of Joy back in like '93 I think. 4HIM was there and they used to look so different too. I much prefer the way they look now!

I Cry/Russ Taff

When peace cannot be found
And sleep won't visit me tonight
A restless mind that I can't tame
How off the floor I call Your name
Signs of silence and the tears begin to fall

I cry
And You're the one who hears me calling
I fall
So easily but You're there to catch me
Say the words that heal me
I'm safe when I'm with You
You touch my eyes and I can see

Oh the comfort that You bring
When nothing else can reach inside
Sympathetic friends are all around
Their soothing words fall to the ground
In silence I feel You here with me

I cry
And You're the one who hears me calling
I fall
So easily but You're there to catch me
Say the words that heal me
I'm safe when I'm with You
You touch my eyes and I can see

Hi Sis, Jen and Jilly!

Sis, I love the song's you have been singing and you can sing 4HIM all the time! Plus whenever I need my 4HIM fix I know where to go!

Jen, awesome scripture!

 

[zen1]

When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me? PSALM 56:3-4

 

[Otto's Doll]

One of my very favorite Scriptures...


Romans 8:38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can't, and life can't. The angels can't, and the demons can't. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, and even the powers of hell can't keep God's love away. 39Whether we are high above the sky or in the deepest ocean, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

[zen1]

Shout with joy to God, all the earth! Sing the glory of His name; make His praise glorious! Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you. All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you, they sing praise to your name." PSALM 66:1-4

 

[zen1]

AMEN


Jeanne, I love that Scripture!

Anointed


Anything is possible

In Him all things are possible

All you do is keep the faith

don't give up 'cause it's never too late

Anything is possible

In Him all things are possible

You can have whatever you say

Cast your fears away



There is a way

That you can have everything

that you've always dreamed of

There is a way

Just keep your feet on the ground

while you reach for the heavens

There is a way

It may take a little time

but never stray from the vision

Just keep the faith

You can't give up now


There is a way

It may be hard for you now,

but it's gonna get better

Your life will change

I've seen it done in the past,

so never say never

Where is your faith

You can speak to the mountain

and it will be moved

That is the way

To receive all He has for you

 

[zen1]

Sheree, what an awesome song!



In Him all things are possible

Kirk Franklin



Jesus You are my joy within

You are the shelter from the wind

You're the forgiver of my sins

Jesus You are

Where can I go, who can I call

Who's there to catch me when I fall

Your hands they hold me through it all

Everything I need You are

Jesus You are my cornerstone

You are my friend when I'm alone

You're the convictor when I'm wrong

Jesus You are

You are the peace within my storm

You are the shelter from all harm

I love it when You hold me in Your arms

Everything I need You are

Jesus You are my joy within

You are the shelter from the wind

You're the forgiver of my sins

Jesus You are

Where can I go, who can I call

Who's there to catch me when I fall

Your hands they hold me through it all

Everything I need You are

You are my healer

Thank You Jesus

You are my shelter

Thank You Jesus

You're my lawyer

Thank You Jesus

You're my provider

Thank You Jesus

 

[Princess Michelle]

Great scriptures everyone!

Sheree', I love that Annointed song you posted! The Kirk Franklin one is good too.

 

[Hemi-mom]

WOW! I am loving the scriptures you all posted, Jeanne and Sarah! I am so needing the Romans one tonight, Jeanne. I was feeling a little small tonight as I am replcaing a teacher with some big shoes and a great rep in the school. I need to remember that God walks with me and because of who HE IS and because He has lead the way, I have been ordained to do HIS work and I should not feel alone. Thank you!

Thanks for those great songs Sherre. I love the one that talks about faith!

MICHELLEY-BOO! I haven't heard that Russ Taff song in SOOOO LONG! I LOVE that one!

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

Almighty God, my Redeemer,
my Hiding Place, my Safe Refugee,
no other name like Jesus,
no power can stand against You.

My feet are planted on this rock,
and I will not be shaken,
my hope it comes from You alone,
my Lord and my Salvation.

Your praise is always on my lips,
Your Word is living in my heart,
and I will praise You with a new song,
my soul will bless You Lord.
You fill my life with greater joy,
Yes, I delight myself in You,
and I will praise You with a new song,
my soul will bless You Lord.

When I am weak You make me strong,
when I'm poor, I know I'm rich,
for in the power of Your name.
All things are possible,
all things are possible,
all things are possible,
all things are possible!

 

[Princess Michelle]

Jill, I've had "I Cry" in my mind all day. I haven't heard it in ages either. Russ Taff has some really great songs. I wish we'd hear more of his stuff played on the radio. Since I was talking about Cryin' Bryan earlier I've had this song stuck in my head.

Blessed Are The Tears/Bryan Duncan

Think of all the times you've fallen victim
All the restless nights you've wrestled through
The closest of your friends abandoned, helpless
They're reaching but they're just not reaching you
You hold no valid thoughts of consolation
The future holds no interest, no concern
The world you love is closing in around you
Clearly now there's nowhere left to turn

Blessed are the tears that fall
Clean the windows of the soul
And usher in a change of heart
And bring a joy that angels know

The time has come to share your well-kept secrets
The hatred and guilt degrading you
I'm sure you blame yourself for all that's happened
This time there's just no way that it's true
You need to know you've got a friend in Jesus
You need to know he felt rejected too
Humiliating pain and unjust treatment
He's been there so he knows what you've been through

Blessed are the tears that fall
Clean the windows of the soul
And usher in a change of heart
And bring a joy that angels know

Blessed are the tears that fall
Wash the stains of life away
Forgiven and forgotten now
A new creation's here to stay

And God will send a merciful Peacemaker
Comforter of all of those who mourn
We'll become the pure in heart, the earthly meek
Enduring misdirected scorn

Blessed are the tears that fall
Clean the windows of the soul
And usher in a change of heart
And bring a joy that angels know

Blessed are the tears that fall
Wash the stains of life away
Forgiven and forgotten now
A new creation's here to stay

Blessed are the tears that fall

Traces of Heaven/Bryan Duncan

I've learned a lesson, and I've learned it well
Life don't get easier in the long run
I've washed my heart out in the tears I've cried
How I hate it, but I love it
And there's just no turning back, no
Will I find a way?
Will I fall apart?
Will You love me win or lose, yeah?
I keep reaching out to You

'Cause my hope lies in Your love for me
In Your faithfulness I can see
Traces of heaven
In subtle kindness, Lord
(Ooo, Your kindness, Lord)
You keep lovingly showing me
Traces of heaven
(Heaven)

I've longed to know how forgiveness feels
I've longed to feel that I belong to You
The truth can hold me for a thousand years
I can make it, I can take it
But there's more to love than truth
I can face the pain
I will live again
Long as I keep trusting You
(I trust in You, Lord)
And I'll keep trusting You!

'Cause my hope lies in Your love for me
In Your faithfulness I can see
Traces of heaven
In subtle kindness, oh!
(Ooo, Your kindness, Lord)
You keep lovingly showing me
Traces of heaven, yeah!

(I can face the pain
I will live again)
Long as I keep trusting You, Lord!

My!
(My hope lies)
My hope lies!
(In Your love for me
In Your faithfulness I can see)
Traces of heaven
(Heaven)
In subtle kindness, Lord!
(Kindness, Lord)
You keep lovingly showing me
(Traces of heaven)
Oh! Ooh, yeah!
(In your faithfulness I can see)
I can see traces of heaven
Heaven!
(You keep lovingly showing me)
Heaven!
