"Grace And Love"

Many things in life are hard for me
Many things can pull us down
I don't understand why I do what I do
How could I take my eyes off you
After all You've done for me
And after all You've done for me

It's by Your grace and love I am saved
It's by Your grace and love You've forgiven me, hey
And by that love and grace, I'm amazed
It's by Your grace and love I am free
I am free

And it's by grace and love that I am free
I'll live with you eternally
I thank you Lord that I am free
I thank you Lord for loving me
I thank you Lord for dying upon the tree of Calvary
I thank you Lord for loving me
I thank you Lord for dying for me

Because it's by grace and love I am saved
It's by Your grace and love You've forgiven me, hey
And by that love and grace, I'm amazed
It's by Your grace and love I am free
I am free

Many things in life are hard for me
Byt my grace and love You've forgiven me
And by grace and love we are free

"Speak To Me"

I'm in a fix
Need something quick
My mind is numb
My stomach sick
Broken hearts
Hopeless things
I've seen what defiance brings
Cause the light of day
I've always known
Is in my heart
I'm not alone

Speak to me
Tell me all the things I need to know
I want to hear you now
Can you speak to me
I've opened up your word to free me
I want to hear you now

It's amazing
How I forget
Can't live my life
For lack of it
But the light of day
I've always known
It's in my heart
I'm not alone

Speak to me
Tell me all the things I need to know
I want to hear you now
Can you speak to me
I've opened up your word to free me
I want to hear you now

Make your wisdom clear
The words I hold so dear
Bring the light into my dark
I hide them inside my heart

So tired of going back n forth

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

"Psalm 73 (My God's Enough)"
(feat. Todd Agnew)

I've had enough of living life for only me
And reaching just for the things that keep destroying me
So sick of envying the lives of so many I see
Somehow believing that they have what I need

[Chorus:]
My God's enough for me
This world has nothing I need
In this whole life I've seen
My God's enough, enough for me
I can't explain why I suffer though I live for You
Those who deny You they have it better than I do
Cover my eyes now so that my heart can finally see
That in the end only You mean anything

Who have I in heaven but You
Nothing I desire but You
My heart may fail but not You
You are mine forever

be magnified o lord
you are highly exalted lord
and there is nothing
you can't do
o lord,
my eyes are on you
be magnified
o lord
be magnified
o lord
be magnified

Who sent you message

"Strong Tower"

When I wander through the desert
And I'm longing for my home
All my dreams have gone astray
When I'm stranded in the valley
And I'm tired and all alone
It seems like I've lost my way

I go running to Your moutain
Where your mercy sets me free

[chorus]
You are my strong tower
Shelter over me
Beautiful and mighty
Everlasting King
You are my strong tower
Fortress when I'm weak
Your name is true and holy
And Your face is all I seek

In the middle of my darkness
In the midst of all my fear
You're my refuge and my hope
When the storm of life is raging
And the thunder's all I hear
You speak softly to my soul

(2x)

who’d have thought my babe was on an island of her own
had me smiling on the phone same page different time zones
god’s a real character painting caricatures of christ
and his love for the church enduring the pain cuz it hurts
when i saw you i went bezerk insane goin looney and cartooney
so sue me you was a vision of beauty truly
thinking of all the charm to inflect upon my behalf
forgive me don’t mean to stare but your hair is down to your calf
tell me about yourself your culture is polynesian
i love when the breeds be mixin our blueprint is in ephesians
instantaneously cultures collided decided we’d ride it
spent time in prayer separately so we wouldn’t have to hide it
fictitious image brought to life reflection of love
carefully inspected with gloves so fragile my darling was
and i aint need miss cleo to re-assure me that i got her
scored big like the opening week of harry potter

slow down hold up (i want you to be mine)
hey baby hey baby hey baby
slow down hold up (i want you to be mine)
we can hook up
we can hook up
we can get married
this is my gift to you
my love is true
we can get married

in the beginning i hesitated debated within my soul
wrestling with my feelings of knowing if you was sent
enduring the distance alone being content
longing your presence believing that we was meant
submitted my intent i was truly convinced
youre the women in my life i couldn’t breate without
and the one I really wouldn't be complete without
and i wrote this so you wouldn’t have any doubt
or misunderstanding of what my love is really about
cause from here on out baby its all about us
and from here on out i wanna build on trust
cause the union we got aint no comparing any other
im askin you to be more than a babys mother
my help mate soul tie my right hand
beginning and end and better half of life
to be my lady my lover my best friend and wife hey

slow down hold up (i want you to be mine)
hey baby hey baby hey baby
slow down hold up (i want you to be mine)
we can hook up
we can hook up
we can get married
this is my gift to you
my love is true
we can get married

(2x)

slow down hold up (i want you to be mine)
hey baby hey baby hey baby
slow down hold up (i want you to be mine)

my love is true
we can get married

(2x)

fantastic song! I particularly like the last verse best.

A SONG TO THE HOLY SPIRIT ->


Come, Holy Ghost, Creator, Come


Come, Holy Ghost, Creator, come
From thy bright heavenly throne,
Come, take possession of our souls,
And make them all thine own.

Thou who art called the Paraclete,
Best gift of God above,
The living spring, the living fire,
Sweet unction and true love.

Thou who art sev'nfold in thy grace,
Finger of God's right hand;
His promise, teaching little ones
To speak and understand.

O guide our minds with thy blest light,
With love our hearts inflame;
And with thy strength, which ne'er decays,
Confirm our mortal frame.

Far from us drive our deadly foe;
True peace unto us bring;
And through all perils lead us safe
Beneath thy sacred wing.

Through thee may we the Father know,
Through thee th'eternal Son,
And thee the Spirit of them both,
Thrice-blessed Three in One.

All glory to the Father be,
With his co-equal Son:
The same to thee, great Paraclete,
While endless ages run.

Who wrote/sang the song?
Beautiful

@Wordsmith

I like that My life be like song
ooh aaaah!

lord if you see me please come my way
leavin bread crumbs for when i stray
rely on sacrifice and the price you paid
feel me like a fingertip
sometimes i fall i slip
my heartfelt desire be more like you
trying not to quench your fire by the things that i do

on an island by my lonesome stranded
low key and stayin’ candid
reflect on all the things i try my hand at
search for the equations to persuasions im used to
finding comfort in the zones of closet bones i get loose to
a mountainous fontaine
spinnin and monsoonin’
grinnin’ its high octane
explosive how i came
rollin down hills cause lifes a hastle
encircled by my folly like a moat surround a castle
stay afloat catch a second wind
thin is the air i breathe
teary eyed nose runnin’
wipe the snot on my sleeve
im callin’ on my savior
to be all that i need
please forgive me
my behavior had me lost at light speed

the fear of never falling in love
and the tears after losing the feelings
of what you thought love was
like the dirt still up under the rug
bad characteristics
covered in christs blood
the joy of new birth
and the pain of growing up
the bliss between giving my all
and giving up
the highs and lows
paths and roads i chose
in the cold i froze
trying to ease my woes
in this world of sin
clothes to thin to fend
so to God i send
words of help to win
in grumblings so deep
letters could never express
so the sound of ooh aah
beneath my breath projects

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

My life be like ooh aah ooh
Come young diti
Here comes that boy from the capital city
Last up on the Grits new diti
But eight bars of the truth will do, eh
I believe there's a bride thats stunning
And, I believe in the kingdom coming
I believe if you seek the truth,
You don't need to look far cuz it's gonna find you

Who wrote/sang the song?

It was written by Rabanus Maurus (he was archbishop of Mainz in Germany) in the 9th century AD.

Wow!

Avalon
You changed my world,
When you came to me,
You drove a passion,
In my soul down deep.
Lord, to follow you in everything,

CHORUS:
I don't want to go somewhere,
If I know that your not there,
Cause I know that me without you,
Is a lie.
I don't want to walk that road,
Be a million miles from home,
Cause my heart needs to be,
Where you are,
So I don't want to go.

So come whatever,
I'll stick with you,
I'll walk, you lead me,
Call me crazy or a fool.
For forever I promise you that:

(Chorus)

Without your touch,
Without your love,
Filling me like an ocean,
For your grace is enough,
Enough for me,
To never want to go somewhere,
If I know that your not there.

I don't want to GOOOOOOOO!!

It's an old song, but me loves it!

Christmas song . I love the lyrics

[flash=425,355]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfpK6cNPF7Y&rel=1[/flash]

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Did you know
That your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
That your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered
Will soon deliver you

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Did you know
That your baby boy will calm a storm with His hand?
Did you know
That your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little boy
You've kissed the face of God

Mary, did you know?
The blind will see
The deaf will hear
And the dead will live again
The lame will leap
The dumb will speak
The praises of the Lamb

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Did you know
That your baby boy will one day rules the nations?
Did you know
That your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding
Is the Great I Am

Third day

Who is this King of Glory that persues me with his love
And haunts me with each hearing of His softly spoken words
My conscience, a reminder of forgiveness that I need
Who is this King of Glory who offers it to me

Who is this King of angels, O blessed Prince of Peace
Revealing things of Heaven and all its mysteries
My spirit¹s ever longing for His grace in which to stand
Who's this King of glory, Son of God and son of man

His name is Jesus, precious Jesus
The Lord Almighty, the King of my heart
The King of glory

Who is this King of Glory with strength and majesty
And wisdom beyond measure, the graceous King of kings
the Lord of Earth and Heaven, the Creator of all things
Who is this King of Glory, He's everything to me

The Lord of Earth and Heaven, the Creator of all things
He is the King of glory, He's everything to me

Oh la la! This is gon be my favorite thread by a mile.
@ Stillwater: King of Glory and Your love oh Lord remain my favorite Third Day Songs
@ Gamine: I really love In Christ Alone esp the 'Hymn' Feeling it gives. In fact Newsboys 'Adoration' album remains one of my favorite albums.

Y'all check this one out -

Magnificent Obsession
------Steven Curtis Chapman

Lord, You know how much
I want to know so much
In the way of answers and explanations
I have cried and prayed
And still I seem to stay
In the middle of life’s complications
All this pursuing leaves me feeling like I’m chasing down the wind
But now it’s brought me back to You
And I can see again

This is everything I want
This is everything I need
I want this to be my one consuming passion
Everything my heart desires
Lord, I want it all to be for You, Jesus
Be my magnificent obsession

So capture my heart again
Take me to depths I’ve never been
Into the riches of Your grace and Your mercy
Return me to the cross
And let me be completely lost
In the wonder of the love
That You’ve shown me
Cut through these chains that tie me down to so many lesser things
Let all my dreams fall to the ground
Until this one remains

You are everything I want
And You are everything I need
Lord, You are all my heart desires
You are everything to me

You are everything I want
You are everything I need
I want You to be my one consuming passion
Everything my heart desires
Lord, I want it all to be for You
I want it all to be for You

You are Beautiful
Beyond description
Too marvelous for words
Too wonderful
For comprehension
Like nothing
Ever seen or heard
Who can grasp
Your infinite wisdom
Who can fathom
The depth of your Love
You are beautiful
Beyond description
Majesty enthroned above

I stand; I stand in awe of You
I stand; I stand in awe of You
Holy God to whom
All praises due
I stand in awe of You

For You are King of Kings
And Lord of Lords
And You reign in majesty
Omnipotent
Almighty Father
Creator of all things

Third Day
I've heard all the stories
I've seen all the signs
Witnessed all the glory. Yeah
Tasted all that's fine

Nothing compares
to the greatness of knowing You, Lord
Nothing compares
to the greatness of knowing You, Lord

I see all the people
Wasting all their time
Building up their riches
For a life that's fine

I find myself just living for today
'Cause I don't know what
Tomorrow's gonna bring
So no matter if I rise or fall
I'll never be alone, oh no

@W.Smith

Glory Lyrics
» Audio Adrenaline

You and me were meant to be a little lower than angels
And on this ground I have found, finally found the reason
To sing glory, to sing glory

I long to walk hand in hand down a golden road with father
Where chairs of angels praise his name and I want to learn
To sing glory, to sing glory

And I can't find the words to say
Life gets in the way
Lord you know my heart's desire

When it all comes down
To who you are
Words cannot convey
When it all comes down
To who you are
Words get in the way
Can't find the words to say
Life gets in the way lord you know my heart's desire
Can't find the words to say
Life gets in the way
Lord it is my heart's desire
To sing glory

@ Gamine,

Thousand Foot Krutch
Broken Wing

Here comes an opening, she's gotta broken wing, if you can feel the sting, take care of
everything, if she can make a scene, i'll show you what i mean, she pack a loaded gun, set fire
to anyone, knows how to make 'em run, she's down on sixth street, shes's goin sixty, she'll
show you how to breathe.

i dont want to see, i dont want to be, i dont wanna be anyone, anymore i dont want to fake, i
dont want to break, i dont wanna say anything, anymore, everytime you walk away, i wish you'd
stay, instead of pushing further away, everytime i hear you say i just need one, to take this
pain away

you're a broken wing, not a broken thing, you can heal in time, if you try, it'll be okay, you
can walk away, sweet julia,

Here comes an opening, he's gotta broken wing, if you can feel the sting, take care of
everything, if she can make a scene, i'll show you what i mean, he packs a loaded gun, set fire
to anyone, knows how to make 'em run, he's down on sixth street, hes's goin sixty, he'll show
you how to breathe.

[Broken Wing lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

i dont want to see, i dont want to be, i dont wanna be anyone, anymore i dont want to fake, i
dont want to break, i dont wanna say anything, anymore, everytime you walk away, i wish you'd
stay, instead of pushing further away, everytime i hear you say i just need one, to take this
pain away

you're a broken wing, not a broken thing, you can heal in time, if you try, it'll be okay, you
can walk away, sweet julia,

and I won't laugh, I won't look, I won't listen if you just get up, and I won't laugh, I won't
look, I won't listen if you just stand

Every time I lie awake, I wish i could take it all away, every time my heart breaks, I wish i
could make it all seem safe

everytime you walk away, i wish you'd stay instead of pushing further away, everytime i hear
you say i just need one, to take this pain away, you're a broken wing, not a broken thing, you
can heal in time, if you try, it'll be okay, you can walk away, sweet julia,

i love the opening riff
