Hi Everyone!

Just wanted to let all of you know, that I just got home from my BIG DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's now a official, I have been confirmed in Church and Baptized!

The Love He Has For You

When you're living for the love of a lifetime
You wonder if the waiting will ever end
And the right from the wrong
That you've guarded for so long
Is closer than it's ever been
But sometimes a moment of weakness
Can sacrifice the treasure of time
And cause you to miss the miracle
That God longs for you to find

Chorus:
There's a love He has for you
There's a heart that He's been saving
There's a joy beyond all measure
That only comes from waiting
There's a love He has for you
It's more than the hope you're holding to
And you will find the only love that's true
Is the love He has for you

When you're torn between today and tomorrow
And holding out for something you cannot see
There's a strength you can find
Knowing in God's own time
You'll discover what He meant to be
'Cause love like the Father intended
Is more than just a state of the heart
So don't give up hope in the holding on
'Cause no matter who you are

Chorus

Dive

The long-awaited rain has just fallen hard upon the thirsty ground
Have carved their way to where the wild and rushing river can be found
And like the rain I have been carried here to where the river flows
My heart is racin' and my knees are weak as I walk to the edge
I know there is no turning back once my feet have left the ledge
And in the rush I hear a voice telling me it's time to
Take a leap of faith
So here I go

[CHORUS]
I'm diving in
I'm going deep
In over my head I wanna be
Caught in the rush
Lost in the flow
In over my head I wanna go
The river's deep
The river's wide
The river's water is alive
So sink or swim
I'm diving in
I'm diving in

There is a supernatural power in this mighty river's flow
We can bring the dead to life, we can fill an empty soul
And give a heart the only thing worth living and dying for
But we will never know the awesome power of the grace of God
Until we let ourselves be swept away into this holy flood
So if you'll take my hand and close your eyes and count to three
And take the leap of faith
Come on let's go

[CHORUS]

 

[Otto's Doll]

Hey Sarah! How wonderful! Glad your big day was so terrific... OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!

 

[Hemi-mom]

Yay, Sarah!!! I'm praying for you as God continues to move you in the paths He has for you!!!

God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You

I will seek You in the morning
And I will learn to walk in Your ways
And step by step You'll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days

I will follow You allof my days
I will follow You all of my days
And step by step You lead me
And I will follow You all of my days

 

[Otto's Doll]

I lift up my eyes to the hills-
where does my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot slip - he who watches over you will not slumber;

indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord watches over you - the Lord is your shade at your right hand.

The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.

The Lord will keep you from all harm - he will watch over your life;

The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forever more.

 

[EdiePA]

I think I found the lyrics .....


IF YOU COULD SEE ME NOW

Our prayers have all been answered
I finally arrived
The healing that had been delayed
Has now been realized
No one’s in a hurry
There’s no schedule to keep
We’re all enjoying Jesus
Just sitting at His feet.

chorus:
If you could see me now
I’m walking streets of gold
If you could see me now
I’m standing tall and whole
If you could see me now
You’d know I’ve seen His face
If you could see me now
You’d know the pain is erased

You wouldn’t want me
To ever leave this place
If you could only see me now

My light and temporary trials
Have worked out for my good
To know it brought Him glory
When I misunderstood
Though we’ve had our sorrows
They can never compare
What Jesus has in store for us
No language can share

(chorus)

You wouldn’t want me
To ever leave this perfect place
If you could only see me now
If you could see me now
If you could only see me now

 

[EdiePA]

Nicol (Miller) Sponberg was part of Selah -- I never expected her voice to be so deep and moving. Reminds me of Sarah McClauglin.

This song just so spoke to me and my life after divorce. I've clung to my faith and have grown so strong and have found so many close friends of faith.


RESURRECTION

Nicol Sponberg RESURRECTION
From the album RESURRECTION
Label Curb (2004)

I'm at a loss for words, there's nothing to say
I sit in silence wondering what led me to this place
How did my heart become so lifeless and cold
Where did the passion go?

When all my efforts seem like chasing wind
I've used up all my strength and there's nothing left to give
I've lost the feeling and I'm down to the core
I can't fake it anymore.

chorus:
Here I am at the end I'm in need of resurrection
Only You can take this empty shell and raise it from the dead
What I've lost to the world what seems far beyond redemption
You can take the pieces in Your hand and make me whole again, again

You speak and all creation falls to its knees
You raise Your hand and calm the waves of the raging sea
You have a way of turning winter to spring
Make something beautiful out of all this suffering

chorus 2:
Here I am once again I'm in need of resurrection
Only You can take this empty shell and raise it from the dead
What I've lost to the world what seems far beyond redemption
You can take the pieces in Your hand and make me whole again, again

You have a way of turning winter to spring
Make something beautiful out of all this suffering

chorus

Good Morning all!!!!!
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
Congratulations Sarah, glad to hear your special day turned out well!

My DH & DS had a wonderful weekend at the father/son campout at The Wilds in NC and we had a wonderful service yesterday evening for the graduating seniors. My DS also got baptized last night.....it was very special!

Hi EdiaPA and THANKS SO MUCH! Those are the lyrics I was looking for, I love that song so much, every time I saw Truth they did that song and it always made me cry, not in sadness, but in happiness, reminding me that my grandparents were in a much better place.

I don't think I have heard the other song you posted but the lyrics were beautiful. Is it new and what is the album title?

Here's an old favorite of mine, have a great day everyone!!!!!

4Him - Where There is Faith

I believe in faithfulness
I believe in giving to myself for someone else
I believe in peace and love
I believe in honesty and trust but it's not enough
For all that I believe may never change the way it is
Unless I believe Jesus lives

CHORUS:
Where there is faith
There is a voice calling, >keep walking<
You're not alone in this world
Where there is faith
There is a peace like a child sleeping
Hope everlasting in He who is able to
Bear every Burden, to heal every hurt in my heart
It is a wonderful, powerful place
Where there is faith

There's a man across the sea
Never heard the sound of freedom ring
Only in his dreams
There's a lady dressed in black
In a motorcade of cadillacs
Daddy's not coming back
Our hearts begin to fall
And our stability grows weak
But Jesus meets our needs if only we believe

CHORUS

 

[zen1]

Jeanne,Jilly and Cristy, "Thank you"!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

Cristy, That is awesome that your DH and DS got to go on a campout together! Glad to hear they had a wonderful time! And Congratulations to your DS!

And God Ran

Almighty God
The Great I Am
Immoveable Rock
Omnipotent powerful
Awesome Lord
Victorious Warrior
Mighty Conquerer
Commanding King of Kings
And the only time
the only time I ever saw Him run
Chorus
Was when He ran to me
Took me in His arms, held my head to His chest
And said "My son's come home again".
Looked in my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice
He said "Son, do you know I still love you?"
It caught me by surprise when God ran
The day I left Home
I knew I'd broken His heart
I wondered if
Things would ever be the same
Then one night
I remembered His love for me
And down that dusty road, ahead I could see
It was the only time,
the only time I ever saw Him run
Repeat Chorus
It caught me by surprise, It dropped me to my knees
When God ran
Holy God, Righteous One
Who turned my way
Now I know, You've been waiting
For this day
Repeat Chorus

Thanks Sarah!

You just posted one of my all time favorite songs. A few years ago, my DH who was really struggling with the fact that he felt God was calling him to go to Bible college and missions went through a very dark period of rebellion against God and this song was out and being played lots. It was a daily reminder to me that even when we are disobedient and turn our backs, God is still going to be waiting there with open arms. Thanks for sharing it today!
I'm singing with you!!!!!!

 

[Otto's Doll]

Sarah, I don't believe I have ever heard that song before, how wonderful it is!

Good to see you all!

Lord of the Dance
I danced in the morning
When the world was begun,
And I danced in the moon
And the stars and the sun,
And I came down from heaven
And I danced on the earth,
At Bethlehem
I had my birth.

Dance, then, wherever you may be,
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he,
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be,
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said he

I danced for the scribe
And the pharisee,
But they would not dance
And they wouldn't follow me.
I danced for the fishermen,
For James and John -
They came with me
And the Dance went on.

Chorus I danced on the Sabbath
And I cured the lame;
The holy people
Said it was a shame.
They whipped and they stripped
And they hung me on high,
And they left me there
On a Cross to die.

Chorus I danced on a Friday
When the sky turned black -
It's hard to dance
With the devil on your back.
They buried my body
And they thought I'd gone,
But I am the Dance,
And I still go on.

Chorus They cut me down
And I leapt up high;
I am the life
That'll never, never die;
I'll live in you
If you'll live in me -
I am the Lord
Of the Dance, said he.

[live4christp1]

Good Morning all!!!!!

Sing with me!

Point of Grace - Every breath

Na na, na na na na

Every move I make
I make in You
You make me move, Jesus
Every breath I take
I breathe in You

Every step I take
I take in You
You are my way, Jesus
Every breath I take
I breathe in You

Waves of mercy
Waves of grace
Everywhere I look
I see Your face
Your love has captured me
Oh my God, this love
How can it be

 

[live4christp1]

Inspired by the ID = God thread

Carman - There is a God (I have got to go home and play this)

93 million miles from the blistering surafce of the sun is the planet earth. A rotating sphere perfectly suspended in the center of the universe. The ultimate creation from an infinate mind. An unbelievably intricate complex design. A supernatural testimony, an irrefutable sign that there is a God.

The size, position and angle of the earth is a scientific phenomenon to see. A few degrees closer to the sun we'd disintegrate, a few degrees further we'd freeze. The axis of the earth is titled at a perfect 23 degree angle and it's no mistake that it is. This allows equal global distribution to the rays of the sun making it possible for the food chain to exist.

Or take for example the combination of nitrogen and oxygen in the atmosphere we breathe every day. It just happens to be the exact mix that life needs to prosper, it doesn't happen on any other planet that way.

You see, the Bible says the invisible things of God are seen through His creation, to believe this is not error. If there's a design, there's a designer, if there's a plan, there's a planner and if there's a miracle, there is a God.

CHORUS:
There is a hope, there is a light
There is an answer to all answers
There is a flame that burns in the night
And I know, I know, I know there is a God

The Scripture says the heavens decalre the glory of God and the skies proclaim the work of His hands. If we allow our minds to drink in all the truth that surrounds the truth that just surrounds us, creation itself will help us understand.

Did you know the moon controls the tides, it's the maid that cleans the oceans. Even the waves don't crash the shores in vain. The tides drag impurities from the depths of the sea, it's nature's constrant recycling chain.

It simply boggles the mind to think that the stars will rotate with such exact precision that it's true. That the atomic clock with an error factor of less than three seconds per millenium is set by the way they move.

Though they silently orbit, the sun, the moon, the stars are like celestial evangelists above. Who circle the earth every 24 hours shouting in every language that there is a God. Atheism is the wedge under the foundation of our faith, trying to topple our relationship with Christ. When the fool said in his heart, there is no God, he rejects the truth God painted on the canvas of the night. Atheism has never created an artistic masterpiece, never healed a fatal disease or calmed a fear. Atheism has never still given answers to our existence, peace to a troubled mind or even dried a tear.

For it's God who created heaven and earth and flung the stars in space and breathed in the handful of dirt and it became a man. It's God who sits on the circle of the earth and measures the mountains in a scale, and holds the seven seas in the palm of His hand. It's God who sent His only begotten Son to the cross of Calvary to save our souls from Hell and the grave. It's God who creates, God who delivers, God who heals and who is worthy of a thunderous ovation of praise.

CHORUS(2x)

There is a God, there is a God
And I know, I know, I know there is a God

 

[Otto's Doll]

Ephesians 5:2

Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn't love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that.

 

[JC2]

Hey you guys!

I have missed you and wanted to check in with you. As Sarah said, I am just taking a break for a while. I apologize for not saying anything. Please know that I didn't leave upset or in any bad way. I think you guys are great!

Know how much I appreciate you all. What a blessing to come here and see all of the praise lifted to Jesus and all of the encouragement for one another.

Keep loving Jesus! I am praying for you all tonight.

Jennifer




Your love is deep
Your love is high
Your love is long
Your love is wide

Your love is deep
Your love is high
Your love is long
Your love is wide

Your love is deeper than my view of grace
Higher than this worldly place
Longer than the road I've traveled
Wider than the gap You fill

Deeper than my view of grace
Higher than this worldly place
Longer than the road I've traveled
Wider than the gap You fill

Who can separate us?
Who can separate us from Your love?
Who can separate us?
Who can separate us from Your love?

Nothing can separate us
Nothing can separate us from Your love
Nothing can separate us
Nothing can separate us from Your love

Your love is deep
Your love is high
Your love is long
Your love is wide

Your love is deep
Your love is high
Your love is long
Your love is wide

Hi Jennifer! We've missed you.

Some days I think I need to take a break too, spending way to much time here. Hello my name is Cristy and I am addicted to the DIS.

Have a great Day!!!!!!

Red Letter Day - Newsong

Every day before the rush gets started
I get down on my knees
And I pray, Lord, I need You here to guide me
Please speak to me
And something happens that I can't explain
His Word starts talking to me and I'm out to face this world again

CHORUS:
I do believe it's gonna be another red letter day
I do believe it's gonna be another chance for me
To take His Word and walk by faith
I got a smile with every step I take
Knowing He is here with me
It's gonna be a red letter day

I had a friend call me up and tell me
How he struggles through each day
I told him that I didn't have all of the answers
This world's a crazy place
I 've learned to hide God's Word in my heart
So I can have it with me when the pressure of the day start

CHORUS

So many hidden treasures in God's Word for us to find
The mysteries and secrets that are there to bring us life

CHORUS

 

[live4christp1]

His Eye Is On The Sparrow

Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for heaven and home?
When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend
Is he
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches over me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches meI sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me (he watches me)
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches
I know he watches
I know he watches meI sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me (he watches me)
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches meHe watches me he watches me
I know he watches me

Was at a Gaither Homecoming concert one night when they did this song and boy did they raise the roof. Still gives me chills when I hear this song.


I'LL FLY AWAY Lyric



Some glad morning when this life is over,
I'll fly away.
To a home on God's celestial shore,
I'll fly away.

I'll fly away, O Glory,
I'll fly away.
When I die, Hallelujah, bye and bye,
I'll fly away.

When the shadows of this life have flown,
I'll fly away.
Like a bird thrown, driven by the storm,
I'll fly away.

I'll fly away, O Glory,
I'll fly away.
When I die, Hallelujah, bye and bye,
I'll fly away.

Just a few more weary days and then,
I'll fly away.
To a land where joy shall never end,
I'll fly away.

I'll fly away, O Glory,
I'll fly away.
When I die, Hallelujah, bye and bye,
I'll fly away.
