You know those times when it's like if you died, life would be so much better? Well, songs like these helped me through lots of them and are still helping me. They're prayers my own lips are sometimes too dry and my throat too parched from thirst for refreshing times from the Lord to say.

Please enjoy. And share if you've got war stories too.

Britt Nicole's Walk on the Water

This one helped me make a really tough decision. And it's helping me tough it through still. It's Casting Crowns' Courageous.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkM-gDcmJeM

This one put the backbone in me every time I got scared of following what I'd been shown of the Lord. The Lord bless this man. I give you Chris Tomlin's I Will Follow.

There are those days when I wonder too: why does He bother? Why does He not just give up on my ignorant, bumbling, pitiful self? His Love is truly amazing. It never fails even when I couldn't possibly care less about it.

Here's Casting Crowns' Who Am I?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBcqria2wmg

It's always so precious to know that He's there even when we can't feel or sense Him at all. And that He has our back all the way. Here's Britt Nicole again with Hangin' On.

This one gave me the Kiss of Life so many times during the craziest period of my life last year. Knowing that my Shepherd never rests until He finds the last lost lamb was a great comfort beyond anything I knew. I hope it comforts you too if you're feeling lost and totally out of your depth.

I give you Britt Nicole's The Lost Get Found.

Bidam: bros...how i fit download this songs abeg

I think that if you googled them adding the strings, "free download", you may find them. I actually transferred all of them from friends. God bless you, bro.

I love this one. It tells the exact story of why my walk with the Lord works I hope somebody's heart out there is strengthened by it. Don't worry that you are so weak, our battles are only won by the exceptionally weak who take the Lord Himself as their strength. What is more, the song of victory forever is not so far off anymore - HALLELUYAH!!!

I give you Avalon's Only For The Weak. Enjoy.

Thanks bro.. God bless you too

I've found this very helpful as well. Mercy Me - Beautiful.

The first line really hit it for me - days will come when you don't have the strength...


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WnAq0o2Xl8

^ Awesome, bro. Will check it out when the network's better ans I've got power.

Look into the mind of a christian and see the emptiness. The fear.

Look at their actions when confronted with everyday troubles and see the futility and the hopelessness.

Allow me add one of my best songs I cherished as a new believer.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evbA09mwpos

another soothing song.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCt1_V4Eoq8

Well, according to Sondra Corbett-Wood in the song "I worship You" -- Jesus Christ is Almighty God!

I worship You, Almighty God,
there is none like You.
I worship You, oh Prince of Peace,
that is all I long to do.
I lift my hands for You are my righteousness.
I worship You, Almighty God;
there is none like You.

These classicals were an encouragement in some of the worst storms of my life, when the sun did not seem to rise for many days and the stars were obscured and all kinds of winds buffeted me.

I will look to see if there are YouTube videos of them a little later and link any I find(edit: here are some links, couldn't find the tune I favored for the first and I like the rendition by Lori Seally for the second so I am posting it instead of the tune I know). For now, however, here are the lyrics


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCtBlCuyEJY
LEAVE GOD TO ORDER ALL THY WAYS

Leave God to order all thy ways
And hope in Him whate'er betide.
Thou'lt find Him in the evil day
Thy all-sufficient strength and guide;
Who trusts in God's unchanging love
Builds on the rock that naught can move.

Only thy restless heart keep still,
And wait in cheerful hope content
To take whate'er His gracious will,
His all-discerning love hath sent;
Nor doubt our inmost wants are known
To Him who chose us for His own.

Sing, pray, and swerve not from His ways,
But do thine own part faithfully.
Trust His rich promises of grace:
So shall they be fulfilled in thee.
God never yet forsook at need
The soul that trusted Him indeed



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nApkbXJBgE
BEGONE, UNBELIEF

Begone, unbelief, my Savior is near
And for my relief will surely appear.
By prayer let me wrestle, and He will perform;
With Christ in the vessel, I smile at the storm

Though dark be my way, since He is my guide,
'Tis mine to obey, 'tis His to provide.
Though cisterns be broken and creatures all fail,
The word He hath spoken shall surely prevail

His love in time past forbids me to think
He'll leave me at last in trouble to sink,
While each ebenezer I have in review
Confirms His good pleasure to help me quite through

Why should I complain of want or distress,
Temption or pain? He told me no less
The heir of salvation, I know from His Word,
Through much tribulation must follow their Lord

Since all that I meet shall work for my good,
The bitter is sweet, the medicine food.
Though painful at present, 'twill cease before long
And then, oh how pleasant, the conqueror's song.

@debosky

That was a beautiful song. Just played it and it was awesome. Thank you for posting it.

Been following this thread...'hedi, wassup?

And what's with all these "hymns" self ... j/k. I need to supply ya'll with some top notch holy hiphop. Hardcore tunes that will carry you on its back through the valley of the shadow and sucker-punch any fear or doubt lol. I can frequently be caught driving downtown sharing music with others .

Anyways...in keep with the theme, here's one of my favs. Avalon's "I bring it to you"...."I bring you the scraps that make up my soul..." so apt!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkTrGXMQbzw
All of these words on paper
All of these thoughts in my head
The times I feel out of favor
The fear that sleeps in my bed

All of these stones in my pocket
My dreams that crashed on the shore
Faith when I thought I lost it
I lay it all at Your door

I bring it to You
There’s wonder in all that You do
I bring You the scraps that make up my soul
You make me whole, I’m gold
I bring it to You

Songs I've shouted to heaven
The grace I've never deserved
All these gifts I've been given
The life that I find in Your word

I bring it to You
There’s wonder in all that You do
I bring You the scraps that make up my soul
You make me whole, I’m gold
I bring it to You

I give You the glory
And I praise Your holy name
But more than anything
I bring You love
I bring You love


I bring it to You
There’s wonder in all that You do
I bring You the scraps that make up my soul
You make me whole, I’m gold


There’s wonder in all that You do
I bring You the scraps that make up my soul
You make me whole, I’m gold
I bring it to You

Wherewith, O God, shall I draw near,
And bow myself before Thy face?
How in Thy purer eyes appear?
What shall I bring to gain Thy grace?

Whoe'er to Thee themselves approve
Must take the path Thy Word hath showed,
Justice pursue, and mercy love,
And humbly walk by faith with God.

But though my life henceforth be Thine,
Present for past can ne'er atone:
Though I to Thee the whole resign,
I only give Thee back Thine own.

What have I the wherein to trust?
I nothing have, I nothing am;
Excluded is my every boast,
My glory swallowed up in shame.

Guilty (oh, so guilty ) I stand before Thy face,
On me I feel Thy wrath abide;
'Tis just the sentence should take place;
'Tis just - but O Thy Son hath died!

Jesus, the Lamb of God, hath bled,
He bore our sins upon the tree;
Beneath our curse He bowed His head;
'Tis finished! He hath died for me!

See where before the throne He stands,
And pours the all-prevailing prayer,
Points to His side, and lifts His hands,
And shows that I (me? Why me? How me?) am graven there.

He ever lives for me to pray (why?);
He prays that I with Him may reign (I'm not worthy at all):
Amen (nevertheless) to what my Lord doth say!
Jesus, Thou canst not pray in vain.

- Charles Wesley (Methodist Hymnbook, MHB, 343)

Deep thread @Ihedinobi.

This is when you try to picture the awesomeness of God when He used His mighty hand to deliver the Israelites from the Egyptians by parting the red sea for them to walk on dry ground and being a pillar of fire and cloud...awesome! Our God is so mighty to save. When I watched the animated video rendition of 'I AM' by Donnie Mcclurkin it was just much more amazing.

Donnie Mcclurkin:
I Am

Verse 1
Come now and see this mystery.
Remove your shoes, bow down,
where you stand right now is holy ground.
The fire burns, sit at my feet and learn,
as I reveal my plan, and I tell you who I am.

Chorus
I Am, I Am,
I'm the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

I Am, I Am,
and I've chosen you to set my people free;
go now and set them free.

Verse 2
Some will not hear, others will fear,
because the enemy has said
before I let them go I'd rather see them dead.
But in that hour, I will reveal My power through you,
so that all may see and when they ask you,
tell them what you know of Me.

Chorus

Bridge
I give you heaven's edge
and I give you privilege,
where others know My works,
you will know My plan.

Chorus

^^ I like those lyrics, sis. Will play the vid when 3G happens by again. And thanks for your kind compliments.

We should talk soon. I've just been busy and visiting within the Veil.

^^^^
Alright. I listenedd to some of your the videos up there as well. It would be nice to atleast know where to get the audio stream as that will need lower data capacity to run.
Do you know this one below by Gary Chapman. It shows a broken heart who knows when he has erred and returns to the Saviour for mercy and help and reminds us of King David too

A Man After Your Own Heart
O God, Father in heaven and earth
I call to You like deep calls to deep over water
Show me Your endless measure of grace
Let tender mercies shine once again
From Your holy face

Deep in my soul there's a craving
To please the One who has saved me
O God, though I have wandered so far
You know that I'm still
A man after Your own heart

I am driven by rivers of pride
You are my rescue
The Maker and Keeper of my life
Lead me by the still waters again
Use me in spite of the prodigal child
That You know I am

Just as a deer runs to water
So does my soul to You, Father
O God, though I have fallen so far
You know that I'm still
A man after Your own heart

Just as a deer runs to water
So does my soul to You, Father
O God, though I have fallen so far
You know that I'm still
A man after Your own heart
I'm still a man after Your own heart

Lol at 'within the veil'. Hoping you are reading it through the eyes of the Lord...who is the Spirit.

I like it but I don't think I know it. Will try to find it on Youtube. Sorry I don't know any audio streams. Will hunt for them later.

Lol. Of course. Althought it was more petitions than instructions I was visiting for. And I've been heard. HALLELUYAH! Thought it would take two to three weeks o!

I'll also try to find the Youtube for Avalon's "Always Have, Always Will". That was golden for me many times. Still is a lot.

Ok. Congrats for what you found from your seeking. May it help to yield greater fruits of the spirit in you then.
So let me post the video for you for whenever you get to view it. I have updated my previous post with the vid.

And another one that always touches me is below....just dazing
