Song Lyrics

+Nail it to the Cross, by Marcia Henry+

Is there something in your heart?
Between you and the Lord
Are you drifting apart?
Not as close anymore
There's nothing you can do
That He will not forgive
Bring it to the cross
Let it die so you can live.

Nail it to the cross
Get it under the blood
Drown your pain
And every stain
In the mercy flood
Nail it to the cross
Find hope and forgiveness
Kneel at the tree
And walk away free
Nail it to the cross.

Is there a burden you bear
That's got you battered and bound?
Struggling for strength
Do you long to lay it down?
Don't take another step
Just kneel where you stand
Lay it at the cross
And take the hammer in your hand.

Nail it to the cross
Get it under the blood
Drown your pain
And every stain
In the mercy flood
Nail it to the cross
Find hope and forgiveness
Kneel at the tree
And walk away free
Nail it to the cross.

Anyone know of any good songs (or bible verses or quotes or anything) about our worth in God? I have a friend who needs to hear/see stuff like that right now.

First that come to mind would be Priceless by For King And Country (talks about how each one of us is priceless), Furious Love by Veridia (talks about how we are worthy of God's furious love)…LoveCollide has a couple songs on the subject…I know there's others I just can't think of of them right now.

Thanks Zach!

Found the LoveCollide song - it's called Through Your Eyes - probably the best one of them all on the subject. These are the lyrics:

+Through Your Eyes by LoveCollide+

This little mirror on the wall
Always defines me by my flaws
Fear tells me I am not enough
That I could never measure up

Tell me God- what do you think of me

Am I worthy,
Am I worthless
Am I treasure,
Am I trash
Does my story have a purpose or am I a page to pass
Am I guilty,
am I blameless
Do you see me through my scars
Cause I need to see,
I need to know
Oh tell me who I am
Through your eyes
Through your eyes

These mocking voices in my head
Whisper,Give up now there’s no hope left
I disguise the hurt inside I just want to feel alive
Tell me God – what do you think of me

Am I worthy,
Am I worthless
Am I treasure,
Am I trash
Does my story have a purpose or am I a page to pass
Am I guilty,
am I blameless
Do you see me through my scars
Cause I need to see,
I need to know
Oh tell me who I am
Through your eyes
Through your eyes

If you destroy the mirrors lies
The mocking voices won’t survive
I believe You came and paid a price for me
I must be more than I can see
You show me

I am worthy,
I’m not worthless
I’m a treasure,
Yours at last
I will trust you with my story, with my future and my past
No more guilt,
I am blameless
I’m forgiven by your scars
And now I see, now
I know
Now I know
Who I really am

Through your eyes
Through your eyes

That's really good. Thanks for sharing :)

+In Everything I Do+
Words and Music: Cindy Berry

Father, Creator, how I thank You for Your love and mercy.
Jesus, Redeemer, You were crucified for me.
With a heart filled with gratitude, I bow before Your throne,
Giving glory to You, and You alone.

Chorus:
In everything I do, I want to give You glory;
In ev’ry word I speak, I want to give You praise.
With ev’ry breath I take, I want to thank You, Lord,
As I trust in Your perfect ways.
With ev’ry step I take, I want to walk beside You
Until I reach my heav’nly home.
May Your name be glorified, may You be lifted high
So that all may know Your love.

With ev’ry song I sing, I join the heav’nly chorus,
Singing, “Holy, holy, worthy is the Lamb.”

My new favorite song…

A RICH YOUNG MAN (SIMPLE LIVING)

A rich young man came to ask of Christ,
"Good teacher, will you tell me
What must I do for eternal life?
I've kept your laws completely."
"Sell all you have, give to the poor
And heaven's treasure will be yours."
How hard for those who are rich on earth
To gain the wealth of heaven.

Now Jesus sat by the off'ring gate
As people brought their money.
The rich they filled the collection plate,
The widow gave a penny.
"Now she's out-given all the rest;
Her gift was all that she possessed."
Not what you give but what you keep
Is what the King is counting.

Oh teach me Lord to walk this road,
The road of simple living.
To be content with what I own
And generous in giving.
And when I cling to what I have
Please wrest it quickly from my grasp.
I'd rather lose all the things of earth
To gain the things of heaven.

~Keith Getty and Stuart Townend

You can watch the video of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xX-a_ibnHB0
The tune is really fun and Irish-y!

Lyrics sets I wrote. Didn't write music to them for the simple reason that I can't. :P

---

This first lyrics set is called Legacy. It was inspired during one of the many times I did a lot of thinking about my life, and what I want the future to be like.

+LEGACY+

+VERSE 1:+
Looking through old photos
Of family and friends
Where has time gone

It was just yesterday
We were so young
I remember then
My father saying, Son

+CHORUS:+
Stand up strong
Never back down
You have one life
So let it count
Make your mark
And leave a legacy
For those who come behind
Let them say
At your grave
Here lies a man who loved
With everything he had

I wanna be like him

+VERSE 2:+
Rememb'rin those old times
So innocent back then
Oh how things change

How could we comprehend
What future held
How then could we know
That we needed to

+CHORUS:+
Stand up strong
Never back down
You have one life
So let it count
Make your mark
And leave a legacy
For those who come behind
Let them say
At your grave
Here lies a man who loved
With everything he had

I wanna be like him

+VERSE 3:+
The years just race on by
It's here before we see it
His wedding day

My son there with his bride
Saying their vows
The first kiss is shared
I say to him, Son

+CHORUS:+
Stand up strong
Never back down
You have one life
So let it count
Make your mark
And leave a legacy
For those who come behind
Let them say
At your grave
Here lies a man who loved
With everything he had

I wanna be like him

+VERSE 4:+
The years just don't slow down
I know my end is near
I go home soon

The last things that I hear
Are my son's words
To his little boy
Saying to him, Son

+CHORUS:+
Stand up strong
Never back down
You have one life
So let it count
Make your mark
And leave a legacy
For those who come behind
Let them say
At your grave
Here lies a man who loved
With everything he had

I wanna be like him

+BRIDGE:+
A legacy a legacy
It is what stays behind
When you're gone
So boys listen here
Be a legacy
They never forget
But even more spend your life
Pouring out your gratitude
For the legacy left by
The One who died for you
So

+CHORUS:+
Stand up strong
Never back down
You have one life
So let it count
Make your mark
And leave a legacy
For those who come behind
Let them say
At your grave
Here lies a man who loved
With everything he had

I wanna be like him

I wanna be like him

This second lyrics set is called This Is Friendship. I'll leave you to tell me what inspired it. ;)

+THIS IS FRIENDSHIP+

+VERSE 1:+
I go
And I look
Down memory lane
I see souvenirs
And pictures of us
And those journal pages
Filled with every event
Those beautiful times we shared
Together with friends

+CHORUS:+
Let us go
Let us think
Of the times we've shared
Of memories made
When we were together
Those precious times
United we were
One family
From across the world
This is friendship

+VERSE 2:+
I think
And recall
The blessings we've had
I think how we've been
Blessed by the good Lord
For giving us these times
We could share with all our friends
We thought it impossible
But God had his plans

+CHORUS:+
Let us go
Let us think
Of the times we've shared
Of memories made
When we were together
Those precious times
United we were
One family
From across the world
This is friendship

+VERSE 3:+
I look
And I see
Oceans and mountains
Rivers and valleys
The deserts and plains
Surrounded by nature
And surrounded by our friends
How could we go ask for more
When we have this much

+CHORUS:+
Let us go
Let us think
Of the times we've shared
Of memories made
When we were together
Those precious times
United we were
One family
From across the world
This is friendship

+VERSE 4:+
I dance
And rejoice
It's miles no more
I see you right now
Standing before me
After these years have passed
Now the countdown is finished
The spell has now been broken
No more years will pass

+CHORUS:+
Let us go
Let us think
Of the times we've shared
Of memories made
When we were together
Those precious times
United we were
One family
From across the world
This is friendship

+BRIDGE:+
Longer than a lifetime
True friends are always friends
Though time distance money
May hold us far apart
In our hearts we're always together

+CHORUS:+
Let us go
Let us think
Of the times we've shared
Of memories made
When we were together
Those precious times
United we were
One family
From across the world
This is friendship

This lyrics set My Thoughts was also inspired during a time similar to when I wrote Legacy.

+MY THOUGHTS+

+VERSE 1+
Lying on my bed at night
I think about the future
Someday the bed I'll be lying on
Will be my deathbed

Imagining myself there
What would I be thinking
What would my last thoughts be
As I prepared to move on home

+CHORUS:+
Did I love my wife
Was I a good father
Was I there when they needed me
Was I the spiritual leader
Every family needs
And most importantly
Did I serve God
With every breath I had
Those are my thoughts

+VERSE 2:+
Driving to work the next day
I am completely stressed out
I thoughtlessly drive through a red light
A car hits my side

I wake up in a white room
Nurses rushing around
I recall last night's thoughts
Was I on my deathbed so soon?

+CHORUS:+
Did I love my wife
Was I a good father
Was I there when they needed me
Was I the spiritual leader
Every family needs
And most importantly
Did I serve God
With every breath I had
Those are my thoughts

+VERSE 3:+
Three weeks later I'm released
Family crowds around me
Joyfully welcoming me back home
I don't deserve it

I look around at them all
Tears forming in my eyes
Thank God I still have time
To prove myself worthy of them

+CHORUS:+
I will love my wife
I will be a good father
I will be there when they need me
I will be the spiritual leader
Every family needs
And most importantly
I will serve God
With every breath I have
These are my thoughts

+BRIDGE:+
I don't want to die
With any regrets
Don't want to lie on my deathbed
Wishing I had done it better

I want
To be able
To say

+CHORUS:+
I loved my wife
I was a good father
I was there when they needed me
I was the spiritual leader
Every family needs
And most importantly
I did serve God
With every breath I had
It's what I want my thoughts to be

+VERSE 4:+
This time I'm starting over
No more regrets not this time
Can't afford them and don't want them
These shall be my thoughts

These are my thoughts

Like, it, Zach!

I heard this song last night, and it was one of those moments where a song just "hits you". Just had to share. =)
+I Stand Redeemed+

Verse 1:
When i think of all my faults and my failures
When i consider all the times i've let God down
I am humbled by hte grace He has extended
I'm amazed at the mercy I have found
I could never earn His love on my own
Yet every time I come before His throne

Chorus:
I stand redeemed by the blood of the Lamb
I stand redeemed before the great I am
When He looks at me, I sees the nail scarred hands
That bought my liberty
I stand redeemed

Verse 2:
Even at my best I am unworthy
I have nothing precious i can give
A broken life is all I have to offer
And yet it's a priceless gift to Him
The bitter mark of sin will never fade away
But i can come before Him unashamed

This song has been on my mind lately - thought I would share it. It's so encouraging to be reminded that He is always with us. =)

+He Is With Us+ - Love and the Outcome

Remember when your hope is lost and faith is shaken
Remember when you wonder if you're gonna make it
There's a hand stretched out through your deepest doubt
We can't pretend to see the ending or what's coming up ahead
To know the story of tomorrow
But we can stay close to the One who knows

We can trust our God
He knows what He's doing
Though it might hurt now
We won't be ruined
It might seem there's an ocean in between
But He's holding on to you and me
And He's never gonna leave, no
He is with us, He is with us
Always, always
He is with us, He is with us
Always

We believe there is purpose, there is meaning in everything
We surrender to His leading
He wants nothing more than to have us close

We can trust our God
He knows what He's doing
Though it might hurt now
We won't be ruined
It might seem there's an ocean in between
But He's holding on to you and me
And He's never gonna leave, no
He is with us, He is with us
Always, always
He is with us, He is with us
Always

Our faith is sealed
Our hope is real
Come what may
We're not afraid
Our faith is sealed
Our hope is real
Come what may
We're not afraid
We're not afraid

We can trust our God
Always, always
We can trust our God
Always, always

We can trust our God
He knows what He's doing
Though it might hurt now
We won't be ruined
It might seem there's an ocean in between
But He's holding on to you and me
And He's never gonna leave, no
He is with us, He is with us
Always, always
He is with us, He is with us
Always, always
He is with us, He is with us
Always, always
He is with us, He is with us
Always
Our God is with us

has another great song to post, but is going to wait a few days so as not to overwhelm people :P

Those words are comforting…thanks for sharing, Matthew! =)

In my Weakness, by Mike Harland and Cary Schmidt.

When living life for Jesus Christ become too hard a task,
When obedience means sacrifice that seems too much to ask;
That’s when I learn that my own strength isn’t really strength at all,
And I find rest in humbleness when I surrender all.

In my weakness He is strong;
In my need He leads me on.
When I come to the end of all I am,
And I place my trust in Him;
That’s when His strength begins —
In my weakness.

When failures in my human strength have weakened all my pride,
And ruined hopes in fallen dreams have crumbled me inside;
It’s then by grace I fin’lly see the strength of Jesus Christ,
His victory is real in me when weakness fills my life.

In my weakness He is strong;
In my need He leads me on.
When I come to the end of all I am,
And I place my trust in Him;
That’s when His strength begins-
In my Weakness.

I'm loving this new song more every time I hear it. :)

+What You Want+ - Tenth Avenue North

Every day I’ve been feeling the pressure
I always gotta know the plan
It’s a weight that I’ve tried to shoulder
I thought I could, but I can’t

And I’m so tired of chasing dreams
When I am wired to let You lead

You’re changing my heart
To want what You want
To love how You love
And that is enough
There’s no greater plan
That I need to know
You only ask me to follow
And want what You, what You want (4X)

Oh, there’s freedom in this surrender
I feel myself come alive
And the burden feels like a feather
When I let my agenda die

And I get so tired of my own dreams
When I am wired to let You lead

You’re changing my heart
To want what You want
To love how You love
And that is enough
There’s no greater plan
That I need to know
You only ask me to follow
And want what You, what You want (4X)

So many leaders
You ask for followers
So keep on leading
‘Cause You’re my Father
(2X)

You’re changing my heart
To want what You want
To love how You love
And that is enough
There’s no greater plan
That I need to know
You only ask me to follow
And want what You, what You want (4X)

So many leaders (what you want)
You ask for followers
So keep on leading (what you want)
‘Cause You’re my Father
(2X)

Me too! :D

Okay. I really like those lyrics. Thanks for sharing! :)

Yes, I love that song!!

There are two songs that always crack me up when we sing them. The first is "In Christ Alone". Everytime I sing it, I read "Jesus commands my density", which I guess is true, but would be kind of weird in a song :). The other is "It Is Well", which was ruined by a certain presidential candidate. "The trump shall resound…" Has anyone else noticed that? :)

Don't think of that song as being ruined, Anna! Think of it as good news: "The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend." See what I mean? :P

xP xP ^Maybe I shouldn't be so silly about it. Sorry guys! :P^

Haha! :) But what does it mean for Trump to resound? I'll have to think about that one :).

Resound

to become filled with sound

to make a loud, deep sound

to make a strong impression or have a great effect on people

Trump had already done the first two things. As for the third, I guess that it depends on your definition of "great" :).

Well… he's made a strong impression, so I guess it fits. :P (To give credit where credit is due, it wasn't me who first made the observation I posted earlier; it was Michael Farris. ;))

Well... he's made a strong impression, so I guess it fits. :P (To give credit where credit is due, it wasn't me who first made the observation I posted earlier; it was Michael Farris. ;))

Okay :).

This is a simple little song, but it's packed full of some good and comforting truths. It's a favorite of mine right now. :)

+Sovereign One+
^Words and Music by Zach Jones^

VERSE 1
When I’m all alone and afraid
I will trust in You
For You watch over my ways
When things in my life don’t make sense
I will trust in You
For You are good, You are good

CHORUS
Sovereign One
You work all things to Your plan
Sovereign One
You hold all things in Your hands

VERSE 2
When I don’t get to have my own way
I will trust in You
For You know what is best
When tears begin to roll down my face
I will trust in You
For You are good, You are good

BRIDGE
Perfect in power, You control all things
Perfect in wisdom, You know everything
Perfect in goodness
Jesus, You’re so good to me
So good to me

Thanks! :) Sometime soon I need to record it, so I'll try to remember to send it to you.

^No pressure, but have you recorded it yet? xD^

Oh yeah, well, the music, but not the words… xP

Ooh, okay, that's fine. xD

Stars by Skillet

"Stars"

You spoke a word, life began
Told oceans where to start and where to end
You set in motion time and space
But still you come and you're calling me by name
Still you come and you're calling me by name

If you can hold the stars in place
You can hold my heart the same
Whenever I fall away
Whenever I start to break
So here I am, lifting up my heart
To the one who holds the stars

The deepest steps, the darkest nights
Can't separate, can't keep me from your side
I get so lost, forget my way
But still you love and you don't forget my name

If you can hold the stars in place
You can hold my heart the same
Whenever I fall away
Whenever I start to break
So here I am, lifting up my heart
If you can calm the raging sea
You can calm the storm in me
You're never too far away
You never show up too late
So here I am, lifting up my heart
To the one who holds the stars

Your love has called my name
What do I have to fear?
What do I have to fear?
Your love has called my name
What do I have to fear?
What do I have to fear?

If you can hold the stars in place
You can hold my heart the same
Whenever I fall away
Whenever I start to break
So here I am, lifting up my heart
(Lifting up my heart)
If you can calm the raging sea
You can calm the storm in me
You're never too far away
You never show up too late
So here I am, lifting up my heart
To the one who holds the stars

You're the one who holds the stars

(Normally I'm not a huge song of Skillet but I really like this one ;)

*(Normally I'm not a huge song of Skillet but I really like this one ;)*

Agree.

Love with your Life by Hollyn

There's only so much you can say
Til' words turn into noise
Yeah we go round and round again
But people we were meant to blaze
A life that's beautiful
Yeah we got so much love to give

Don't look to the left or right
You know the future's worth the fight
Don't look to the left or right
hey yeah
L-O-V-E rolls off the tongue
But sometimes the word's just not enough
Gotta dig a little, dig a little deeper

You gotta love with your life
Like a fire burning strong
Til' the night has come and gone
There's a hope that lives in you
You gotta love with your life
Like a warrior
Fight, lay it on the line
If you wanna see a change
You gotta love with your life
If you wanna see a change
You gotta love with your life

You crash into a brand new day
The world's up in your face
And they gon' whisper in your ear
Just push 'em back you need your space
To be who you gon' be
You got so much more to give

Don't look to the left or right
You know the future's worth the fight
Don't look to the left or right

You gotta love with your life
Like a fire burning strong
Til' the night has come and gone
There's a hope that lives in you
You gotta love with your life
Like a warrior
Fight, lay it on the line
If you wanna see a change
You gotta love with your life
If you wanna see a change
You gotta love with your life

Don't let it pass us by
Every day and night
Gotta love with your life
Every day and night
Don't let it pass us by
Every day and night
Gotta love with your life
Every day and night
Oh, You gotta love with your life

Life, life

You gotta love with your life
Like a warrior
Fight, lay it on the line
If you wanna see a change
You gotta love with your life
You gotta love with your life

Don't let the moment pass you by
We got a chance to be the light
Don't let the moment pass you by
Don't let the moment pass you by
We got a chance to be the light
Don't let the moment pass you by

I don't want another day to pass
Not another moment
I wanna live intentionally
In light of eternity
I wanna love like You loved
I wanna love with my life

That song is currently stuck in my head, and then I come on and see it on here… xP

Lol xP I don't think I've heard it yet. But that could also be because I don't listen to much music while I'm studying for Bible Bee.

+"Tell The World" by Lecrae+

DISCLAIMER: No, I did not all of a sudden start liking rap. But this song is amazing!

Now I'mma tell the world, tell em
I'mma tell it everywhere I go
Tell the world, tell em
Yea I'mma billboard
Tell the world, tell em
Broadcast Him like a radio
Tell the world you are to know
I'm brand new

(Verse 1)
Uh, I know one thing's true
I don't even really deserve to know you
but I.. I'm a witness that you did this
and I'm brand new so I.. I'm ready to go
and I'mma tell the world what they need to know
a slave to myself but you let me go
I tried gettin high but it left me low
You did, what they could never do
You cleaned up my soul and gave me life, I'm so brand new
and that's all that matters
I aint love you first, but you first loved me
in my heart I cursed ya, but you set me free
I gave you no reason to give me new seasons, to give me new life, new
breathin
but you hung there bleedin
and you died for my lies, and my cheatin, my lust, and my greedin
What is a man, huh? that you're mindful of em?
and what do I have to deserve this love?

(Chorus)
Tryna make the moments last
Holdin on to the past
but like a hero in a dream
Christ came and He rescued me!
Now I'mma tell the world, tell the world, tell em
I'mma tell it everywhere I go
Tell the world, tell em
Yea I'mma billboard
Tell the world, tell em
Broadcast Him like a radio
Tell the world you are to know
I'm brand new

(Verse 2)
I can't offer you nothin, but your care and kindness keep comin
and your love is so unconditional, I get butterflies in my stomach
I got the old me in the rearview, gotta new me, gotta clear view
I was so dead, I couldn't hear you
too deep in sin to come near you
but you drew me in, and cleaned me up
and take me home and beamed me up
before you do, just let me tell the truth
and let these folks know that I done seeing your love
and it's everlastin, infinite
it goes on and on, you can't measure it
can't quench your love, they can't separate us from the love of God
it's no estimate
my face look the same, my frame done rearranged
but I changed, I promise I aint the same
your love is so deep, you suffered and took pain
and died on the cross to gimme a new name
aint nothin like I seen before
I gotta beam to glow
was low, down, and dirty but you cleaned me Lord
you adopted me, you keep rockin me
Imma tell the world and aint nobody stoppin me

(Chorus)
Tryna make the moments last
Holdin on to the past
but like a hero in a dream
Christ came and He rescued me!
Now I'mma tell the world, tell the world, tell em
I'mma tell it everywhere I go
Tell the world, tell em
Yea I'mma billboard
Tell the world, tell em
Broadcast Him like a radio
Tell the world you are to know
I'm brand new

(Verse 3; 2 Corinthians 5:17)
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,
he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
Yea, I'm brand new

(Chorus)
Now I'mma tell the world, tell the world, tell em
I'mma tell it everywhere I go
Tell the world, tell em
Yea I'mma billboard
Tell the world, tell em
Broadcast Him like a radio
Tell the world you are to know
I'm brand new

It's only been playing on Air1 for a few days, I think.

That's probably why I haven't heard it. Although I probably did hear it at Big Ticket Festival since we heard Hollyn there, I just don't remember for sure.

I looove the words to this song. :D I am With You, words by Chris Anderson

I am with you, says the Father,
Through the floods, I calm and keep.
Though the swelling waves surround you,
I surround the waters deep.
Fear not, loved one: feel My presence;
You will never be alone.
Trust Me, loved one: you are precious;
You are Mine, My very own.

I am with you, says the Savior,
Even to the age's end,
Never leaving nor forsaking;
I'm your ever-present friend.
Fear not, loved one: hear My comfort,
None can pluck you from My hand.
Trust Me, loved one: I am constant;
None can changed what I have planned.

I am with you, says the Spirit,
There is nowhere you can flee.
Neither height nor depth can hide you;
Every place is home to Me.
Fear not, loved one: hear My witness:
You are God's own child and heir.
Trust Me, loved one: hear My whisper,
Deep within you, I am here.

Come be with Me, says the Master,
Greeting hopeful, homesick eyes.
I was with you in your journey;
Be with Me in paradise.
Fear not, loved one: know My promise,
I will surely, quickly come.
Trust Me, loved one: know My purpose:
I will bring you safely home.

You guys probably know this, but Hollyn is 19 years old - less than a year older than me. And TRU, the rapper in "Alone" and "Backseat Driver", tobyMac's son, isn't even 18 yet. Wow, just wow. xP

Those are really encouraging words - thank you for sharing! :) Do you know if this song is on YouTube so I could listen to it?

Yup! I'm looking forward to when Tru turns 18, which is most likely when he'll release an album or EP :D Also looking forward to Hollyn's upcoming album!

No idea if it's on YouTube. :P (They have the sheet music on their website though: http://churchworksmedia.com/i-am-with-you ^That just has the words, but if you click on "full page" or something like that it has the music… :P Sorry, I don't know of any way to listen to it online. :P^)

I recently heard this song sung by Hallal; and the chorus really spoke to me. :) Enjoy!

+Heal Me+
^Aaron Jeffory^
It's another good-to-see-you Sunday morning
Oh, I hardly hear the words roll off my tongue
Looking in myself for signs of something
That's long gone

Oh, I stumble through a verse that says You love me
As the voices echo my thoughts drift away
And I close my eyes ashamed I'm feelin' nothing
I pray

CHORUS
Heal me
Heal these eyes
Heal this heart
Heal my mind
Breathe Your breath of life
Heal me
Wake my soul
From this sleep
Give me back the joy
Of when I first believed
Heal me

Oh, I lose myself to one more day's indifference
When my eyes are everywhere but fixed on You
I don't have the strength to overcome this distance
But You do
You do

CHORUS

I don't wanna waste another minute
Takin' all Your love for granted
I just wanna feel Your Holy Spirit
Rushing over me

Not long ago, I was talking with a friend about how even though we may not feel God's presence all the time, that doesn't mean He isn't there. We just have to take Him at His promises and completely trust…
And then I randomly hear this song today. :) Probably one of my new favorite songs…because yes, sometimes His blessings are in disguise, we just don't know it. We just must take Him at His word. :)

+Blessings+

We pray for blessings
We pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love is way too much to give us lesser things

'Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

We pray for wisdom
Your voice to hear
We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt your goodness, we doubt your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
All the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe

When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not our home

I like this song to. :)

Love that song. Thanks for posting. :)

That's one of my favorite songs, Rachel! :)

gets teary-eyed That song was played right before Senior semis last year, and I remember thinking, "Yes, there are going to be a lot of tears!" :) That song is a beautiful reminder and very appropriate for right before semis.
