Surely surely

we know it grin

Dancable praise song! so cool


But people, i am a bit confused when it comes to the type of music
a christian shld listen to.

i have stopped classifying music into secular and christain
i listen to music that is positive and uplifting

what do you think
Re: Christian Songs by Wordsmith(m): 7:37pm On Feb 20, 2008
@ Gamine,

you've heard of Toby Mac? There's this song he did, "Iris". The chorus went some'thn like this -

hush lil' baby, don't u cry,
everything's gonna be alright
. . .and something something. . . .
God's gon' answer your prayers tonight


something like that. . .lol.

Switchfoot, anyone?

There's this other song, the name's "Tonight", can't remember the name of the dude that sang it, i think he broke off from Switchfoot.

Mercy Me's "I can only imagine"
Re: Christian Songs by Wordsmith(m): 7:47pm On Feb 20, 2008
@ Gamine,

i'm on the same road, ma. Nowadays i limit them seculars to those that are appealing and less crude to my ears. I never had a liking for Gangsta rap (though i like a few of 'em cats and have some of they albums), most times, it's the un-Gangsta ones i listen to : Conscious rap, Battle rap, freestyles, just about anything.

Same goes for other genres. . .
Re: Christian Songs by Gamine(f): 7:51pm On Feb 20, 2008
Toby Mac was in DC talk

yes, i like that Song.
thank you!

MercyMe's song
i know Non-Christians who even like the song

Tonight was sang by Jeremy Camp
i just got the album.

Switchfoot
Yup!
i have their Beautiful Letdown album

love this

Gone

She told him she'd rather fix her makeup
than try and fix what's going on
But the problem keeps on calling
even with the cell phone gone.

She told him that she believes in living
bigger than she's living now
But her world keeps spinning backwards
And upside down.

Don't say so long, and throw your cell phone.
Don't spend today away, 'cause today will soon be

Gone, like yesterday is gone
Like history is gone
Just try and prove me wrong and
pretend like you're immortal.

She said, he said, live like no tomorrow
Everyday we borrow brings us
one step closer to the edge. Infinity.
Where's your treasure, where's your hope
if you get the world and lose your soul?
She pretends like she pretends like she's immortal.

Don't say so long, you're not that far gone.
This could be your big chance to make-up
Today will soon be

Gone, like yesterday is gone
Like history is gone
The world keeps spinning on
You're going, going
Gone, like summer break is gone,
Like Saturday is gone
Just try and prove me wrong
You pretend like you're immortal (you're immortal)
You're immortal (you're immortal

Ha-ah

We are not infinite
We are not permanent
Nothing is immediate
We are so confident in our accomplishments.
Look at our decadence.


Gone, like Frank Sinatra, like Elvis and his mom,
Like Al Pacino's cash, nothing lasts in this life.
My High School dreams are gone,
my childhood streets are gone
Life is a day that doesn't last for long.

Life is more than money, time was never money.
Time was never cash, life is still more than girls.
Life is more than hundred dollar bills and roto-tom fills.
Life is more than fame and rock and roll and thrills,
All the riches of the kings end up in wills
We've got information in the information age
but do we know what life is outside of our convenient Lexus cages?

She said he said live like no tomorrow
Every moment that we borrow brings us closer
to the God who's not short of cash
Hey Bono, I'm glad you asked.
Life is still worth living, Life is still worth living.
Life is more that you are.

I UNDERSTAND by Smokie Norful

Sometimes I feel like giving up
It seems like my best just ain't good enough
Lord if you hear me I'm calling you
Do you see, do you care all about what I'm going through

And then He said:
One more day
One more step
See I'm preparing you for myself
And when you can't hear my voice
Please trust my plan
I'm the Lord I see and yes I understand

But sometimes I feel like I'm all alone
I'm just like a stranger so far from home
I feel like I've done all that I can do
Please Lord give me strength I'm just trying to make it through

That's when He told me:
One more day (One more step yea)
One more step (Oh my child)
I'm preparing you (All for myself) for myself
And when you can't hear my voice
Please trust my plan
I'm the Lord I see and yes I understand

(Oh He knows)He knows just how much
We can bear (Oh)
And in the time of trouble
He promised he would always be there
Oh I understand

I understand, (The Lord is telling you yes I understand)
I understand, (I am the Lord, I see you and yes I understand)

This is what He says:
I am the Lord
And I changeth not
I won't forget, nor have I forgot
You see everything works according to my plan
I am God, trust me, I got the whole world in my hands, OOOHH

One more day
One more step
See I'm preparing you for myself
And when you can't hear my voice
Please trust my plan
I'm the Lord I see and yes I understand
Re: Christian Songs by Gamine(f): 8:40pm On Feb 20, 2008
"24"

Twenty four oceans
Twenty four skies
Twenty four failures
Twenty four tries
Twenty four finds me
In twenty-fourth place
Twenty four drop outs
At the end of the day
Life is not what I thought it was
Twenty four hours ago

Still I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You
And I'm not who I thought I was twenty four hours ago
Still I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You

Twenty four reasons to admit that I'm wrong
With all my excuses still twenty four strong

See I'm not copping out not copping out not copping out
When You're raising the dead in me
Oh, oh I am the second man
Oh, oh I am the second man now
Oh, oh I am the second man now

And You're raising these twenty four voices
With twenty four hearts
With all of my symphonies
In twenty four parts
But I want to be one today
Centered and true

I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You
You're raising the dead in me
Oh, oh I am the second man
Oh, oh I am the second man now
Oh, oh I am the second man now
And You're raising the dead in me

I want to see miracles, see the world change
Wrestled the angel, for more than a name
For more than a feeling
For more than a cause
I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You
And You're raising the dead in me
Twenty four voices
With twenty four hearts
With all of my symphonies
In twenty four parts.
I'm not copping out. Not copping out. Not copping out.

The Potter's House by TRAMAINE HAWKINS

[Verse 1:]
In case you have fallen by the wayside of life;
dreams and visions shattered, You're all broken inside.
You don't have to stay in the shape that you're in;
the potter wants to put you back together again,
oh, the potter wants to put you back together again.

[Verse 2:]
In case your situation has turned upside down,
and all that you've accomplished, is now on the ground.
You don't have to stay in the shape that you're in;
the potter wants to put you back together again,
oh, the potter wants to put you back together again.

[Chorus:]
You who are broken, stop by the potter's house.
You who need mending, stop by the potter's house;
give Him the fragments of your broken life,
my friend, the potter wants to put you back together again,
oh, the potter wants to put you back together again

[Vamp:]
Joy in the potter's house.

Peace in the potter's house.

Love in the potter's house.

There is salvation in the potter's house.

There is healing in the potter's house.

There is deliverance in the potter's house.

You'll find everything you need in the potter's house.

[Ending:]
The potter wants to put you back together again,
oh, the potter wants to put you back together again.

City of Refuge

In the land of the free
So many are living in chains
All around us is fear
We push and we pull
In our longings for love
Here in the home of the brave
But in the real world right now
You're weary you're weak from the fight
Hope is calling out loud
Your freedom is waiting
Run into the light
Leaving the darkness behind

CHORUS
The city of refuge is open tonight
Come inside, come on inside
A fortress of healing
Where the weary can hide
Come inside, come on inside
Calling the hurting, the broken and bruised
Jesus is waiting for you,
In the city of refuge

Come and rest in this place
'Cause right here is where you belong
it's a shelter of grace
Welcome one, welcome all

REPEAT CHORUS

Before another moment passes you by come on in,
Why are you standing outside?

4Him

Clean Hands by Charmaine
Written by: Charlie Hall

We bow our hearts
We bend our knees
Oh Spirit come make us humble
We turn our eyes from evil things
Oh Lord we cast out our idols

Give us clean hands
Give us pure hearts
Let us not lift our souls to another
(Repeat)
Give us clean hands

Oh God let us be a generation that seeks
Who seeks Your face
Oh God of Jacob
(Repeat)
Give us clean hands

LET US PRAY ~~ Steven Curtis Chapman

I hear you say your heart is aching
You've got trouble in the making
You ask if I'll be praying for you please
And in keeping with convention
I'll say yes with good intentions
To pray later making mention of your needs
But since we have this moment here at heaven's door
We should start knocking now, what are we waiting for?

Let us pray, let us pray, everywhere in every way
Every moment of the day, it is the right time
For the Father above, He is listening with love
And He wants to answer us, so let us pray

So when we feel the Spirit moving
Prompting, prodding, and behooving
There is no time to be losing, let us pray
Let the Father hear us saying
What we need to be conveying
Even while this song is playing, let us pray
And just because we say the word, Amen
It doesn't mean this conversation needs to end

Let us pray, let us pray, everywhere in every way
Every moment of the day, it is the right time
Let us pray without end and when we finish start again
Like breathing out and breathing in, let us pray

Let us approach the throne of grace with confidence
As our prayers draw us near
To the One who knows our needs
Before we even call His name

Let us pray, let us pray, everywhere in every way
Every moment of the day, it is the right time
For the Father above, He is listening with love
And He wants to answer us, so let us pray
Let us pray everywhere in every way
Every moment of the day, it is the right time
Let us pray without end and when we finish start again
Like breathing out and breathing in, let us pray

Our Father which art in Heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven
Let us pray
Re: Christian Songs by Sharn06: 5:38pm On Feb 21, 2008
HERE I AM TO WORSHIP

Light of the world
you stepped down into darkness
Opened my eyes
let me see
Beauty that made this heart adore you
hope for a life spent with you

Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that you're my God
You're altogether lovely
altogether worthy
altogether wonderful to me

King of all days
Oh, so highly exalted
Glorious in heaven above
Humbly you came to the earth you created
all for love's sake became poor

Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that you're my God
You're altogether lovely
altogether worthy
altogether wonderful to me

I'll never know how much it cost
to see my sin upon that cross
I'll never know how much it cost
to see my sin upon that cross
Re: Christian Songs by Gamine(f): 9:15pm On Feb 21, 2008
"We Live"

There's a cross on the side of the road
Where a mother lost her son
How could she know that the morning he left
Would be the last time she'd trade with him for a little more time
(so she could say she loved him one last time)
And hold him tight
But with life we never know when we're coming up to the end of the road
So what do we do then
With tragedy around the bend


We live, we love, we forgive and never give up
Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above
And today we remember to live and to love
We live, we love, we forgive and never give up
Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above
And today we remember to live and to love

There's a man who waits for the tests to
See if the cancer had spread yet
And now he asks why did I wait to live 'til it was time to die
If I could have the time back, how I'd live
Life is such a gift
So how does the story end?
Well, this is your story and it all depends
So don't let it become true
Get out and do what we were meant to do

We live, we love, we forgive and never give up
Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above
And today we remember to live and to love
We live, we love, we forgive and never give up
Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above
And today we remember to live and to love

Waking up to another dark morning
People are mourning
The weather in life outside is storming
But what would it take for the clouds to break
For us to realize each day
Is a gift somehow, someway
And get our heads up out of this darkness
And spark this new mindset and start on with life cuz it ain't gone yet
And tragedy's a reminder to take off the blinders and wake up
(to live the life)
We're supposed to take up
(moving forward)
With all our heads up
Cuz life is worth living

We live, we love, we forgive and never give up
Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above
And today we remember to live and to love
We live, we love, we forgive and never give up
Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above
And today we remember to live and to love

Entertaining Angels was done by Newsboys.

How bout this


Order My Steps - Mississippi Mass Choir
[Chorus]
Order my steps in your word dear Lord
Lead me, guide me, everyday
Send Your anointing, Father, I pray
Order my steps in Your word.
Please order my steps in Your word.
[Verse]
Humbly I ask Thee, teach me Your will
While You are working, help me be still
Though Satan is busy, God is real
Order my steps in Your word.
Please order my steps in Your word.
Bridle my tongue, let my words edify
Let the words of my mouth be acceptable in Thy sight
Take charge of my thoughts, both day and night
Order my steps in Your word.
Please order my steps in Your word.
(Refrain)
I want to walk worthy, my calling to fulfill
Please order my steps, Lord, and I'll do Your blessed will
The world is ever changing, but You are still the same
If You order my steps, I'll praise Your name.
Order my steps, in Your word
Order my tongue, in Your word
Guide my feet, in Your word
Wash my heart, in Your word
Show me how to walk, in Your word
Show me how to talk, in Your word.
When I need a brand new song to sing,
Show me how to let Your praises ring, in Your word
In Your word
Please order my steps in Your word.
Please order my steps in Your word.

And this

40 Days - Third Day

Here I am at what feels like the end
And so I come to You, my Lord, again
With this burden buried deep within
This heart that You have made
In this trial that I'm going through
I don't question 'cause I know it's true
That the sorrow brings me back to You
And You have made me stronger

It's been forty days and forty nights
Down the road of many trials
And I pray it's only for a season
'Cause in the wilderness and in the flood
You're the one I'm thinking of
And I know You've brought me for a reason

I have one more thing I've got to say
Before they try to take my life away
Let it be known that I am not afraid
Let You will be done, Lord

It's been forty days and forty nights
Down the road of many trials
And I pray it's only for a season
'Cause in the wilderness and in the flood
You're the one I'm thinking of
Cause I know You've brought me for a reason
Re: Christian Songs by Gamine(f): 12:13pm On Feb 22, 2008
i havnt heard this third days song oo!

but its so beautiful, those guys are a big blessing! kiss

Your love, oh Lord
Reaches to the heavens
Your faithfulness stretches to the sky
Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains
Your justice flows like the ocean's tide

I will lift my voice
To worship You, my King
I will find my strength
In the shadow of your wings
Re: Christian Songs by lafile(m): 1:38pm On Feb 22, 2008
Oh its a beautiful song. You can find the live version on their 'Offerings' album. Can remember what album had the original. It was the first Third Day song i heard. Second was Consuming Fire.

Consuming Fire Lyrics:Third Day
Set this place on fire
Send your spirit, Savior
Rescue from the mire
Show Your servant favor

Yesterday was the day that I was alone
Now I'm in the presence of Almighty God

Chorus:
and yes our God, He is a consuming fire
And the flames burn down deep in my soul
Yes our God He is a consuming fire
He reaches inside and He melts down this
cold heart of stone.

Set this place on fire
Send Your spirit, Saviour
Rescue from the mire
Show your servant favor

Yesterday was the day that I was alone
Now I'm in the presence of Almighty God

Repeat chorus

Did you realize that inside you there is a flame?
Did you ever try to let it burn?
Re: Christian Songs by Gamine(f): 1:53pm On Feb 22, 2008
i have the Offerings album o shocked

i love the opening riff to this Consuming fire

Take my life smiley
How many times have I turned away
The number is the same as the sand on the shore
But every time You've taken me back
And now I pray You do it once more.
Chorus:
Please take from me my life
When I don't have the strength
to give it away to You Jesus

How many times have I turned away
The number is the same as the stars in the sky
But every time You've taken me back
And now I pray You do it tonight.
Re: Christian Songs by lafile(m): 2:16pm On Feb 22, 2008
Your Love oh Lord (Live) is on the Third Day Album 'Offerings: A Worship Album', which is different from the 'Offerings II: All I have to Give' Album. The Original version is on the Time Album.

By the way what does this 'Yuriginai omoi' thing mean?

I Can only Imagine by MercyMe is a great song. One of the best ever written. But what about the other beautiful MercyMe song, Spoken for? Few songs describe basking in the euphoria of Gods Love better than this one.

Spoken For Lyrics: MercyMe

Take this world from me
I don't need it anymore.
I am finally free
My heart is spoken for.

Oh and i praise you
Oh and i worship you,

CHORUS:
Covered by your love divine
Child of the risen Lord.
To hear you say "This one's mine"
My heart is spoken for.

Now i have a peace
I've never known before.
I find myself complete
My heart is spoken for.

Oh and I praise you
Oh and I worship you,

CHORUS:
Covered by your love divine
Child of the risen Lord
To hear you say "This one's mine"
My heart is spoken for.

By the power of the cross
You've taken what was lost
And made it fully yours.
And i have been redeemed
By you that spoke to me
Now i am spoken for

Covered by your love divine
Shout out there is a Lord
To hear you say "this one's mine"
My heart is spoken for
2X

Take this world from me
Don't need it anymore,
Re: Christian Songs by Gamine(f): 4:01pm On Feb 22, 2008
i have that Offerings album
its d one with Show me your glory and this medley

MercyMe's Spoken for
touches you and encourages you to go on.

You said all that follow You may find
Comfort and pain, blessings in hard times
Were I to leave, where else would I go?
The words of life and of truth You hold

All I want is love
I confess to this
I will take it, Lord
ALl you have to give

Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of Earth
Will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace


And You give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

All I want is love
And I confess to this
I will take it, Lord
All You have to give
All You have to give
All You have
All You have to give

Your love, oh Lord
Reaches to the heavens
Your faithfulness stretches to the sky
And YOur righteousness is like the mighty mountains
Your justice flows like the ocean's tides
And I wil lift my voice
To woship You, my king
