bawomolo:
jeez lets not argue about this. congrats to the man. brain drain is a bitch

Brain Drain is a blessing to the brains that have been drained.

I believe neither candidate can divorce themselves from the comments of their associates. Obama's association with Rev. Wright at best indicates a certain lack of sound judgement. It is not in anyway morally or politically justifiable for an aspiring president of the united states to in anyway associate with such a character. Rev. Wright will always cast a shadow on Obama, even if he doesn't get the nomination and he goes back to the senate.

Clintons statement about dodging snipers in Bosnia cannot be brushed aside as mere 'mis-remembering' history. She has constantly positioned herself as by far more experienced than Obama. Remember the 3am phone call? For her to clearly and repeatedly lie about her arrival and the supposed danger she faced gets to the core of her message. Its shows a desperation to appear capable when she is clearly not. Being on the sideline when your husband was president doesnt equate to having foreign relations or national crisis management experience. The only crisis she face while Bill was president was the Monica Lewinsky issue. Also, Bill's and Ferraro's comments (Like Hillary's) show a certain desperation in the Clinton camp. Left with nothing else to demonstrate a better qualification for the job, the next best thing seems to be to attack the qualification and credibility of your opponent.

At the end of the day, this all plays into Sen. McCains hands. Come November, the Republicans will carry the day.

Hey, Rachel Lampa. First heard about her from my sisters 'Kaleidoscope' cd. My fave song from that cd is

BEAUTIFUL – RACHEL LAMPA

There was a time when I thought I had no good in me.
There was a time when I was too blind to see.
But deep beneath the cold defeat under the snow,
You could see something in me waiting to grow.
A little seed of what I could be; how did You know?
You saw my worth, and called it forth with Your sweet love.

You are beautiful to me. You are beautiful to me.
Everything that's good in life You've given to me.
You are beautiful to me.

Maybe it's true that you can't see your way forward.
Maybe it's true that you can't find your way home.
But deep beneath the cold defeat under the snow,
There's a seed of better things waiting to grow.
And all it needs to set it free is One who can show the way,
Call your name, with heavenly love!

You are beautiful to me. You are beautiful to me.
Everything that's good in life You've given to me.
You are beautiful to me.

You are beautiful.
(I love to just speak Your name)
You are beautiful.
(In all that You do, ev'ry move that You make)
You are beautiful.
(Don't care what they say!)
Beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,

You are beautiful to me. You are beautiful to me.
Everything that's good in life You've given to me.
You are yes You are

Hey, Femiyamoju. The New Season I know was done by Israel Houghton (and also by Martha Munnizzi)

New Season - Israel Houghton

Chorus
It's a new season, it's a new day.
A fresh anointing is flowing my way.
It's a season of power and prosperity.
It's a new season coming to me.

Verse 1
The devil's time is up no longer can he bother me,
'cause the Creator of the universe He fathers me,
and it's transferable my children's children shall be free;
it's a new season (it's a new season).

If you don't know by now, you need to know it's jubilee,
where debts are cancel and your children walk in victory.
It's so available to you right now just taste and see,
it's a new season (it's a new season).

Chorus

Verse 2
The new millennium presents a new horizon,
and no greater time for us to make a choice and take a stand.
All that we need, is resting in His hands;
it's a new season (it's a new season).

All that was stolen is returned to you a hundred fold,
Tried in the fire but you're coming out gold.
Cling to His hand,
yes, to every promise take a hold;
it's a new season (it's a new season)

Chorus

Ending
It's a new season coming to me.

Here's a reminder of one great not-so-old song

Awesome Wonder – Kurt Carr & The Kurt Carr Singers

Chorus:
You are an awesome wonder, no other power compares to You
Perfect in all your ways, Everyday faithful ever true
Oceans applaud You, creation declares your grandeur, here in Your splendor
we surrender to the wonder of Your power

With just one thought, You made heaven and earth
Knew my name before my birth,
You know what lies in store for me
You designed my destiny
And as we come before You now
In Your presence we will bow,
we submit ourselves to thee
and to your awesome deity

Chorus

You said let there be and darkness turned to light
Even death bows in Your might,
kings and queens submit to thee
and proclaim Your majesty
You reached down and took clay in Your hands
then You fashioned it to man
We stand in awe of what You've done
Oh God the Awesome One

Chorus

Bridge:
How (when I consider all the works)great (thy hands)thou art(have made; my soul cries out 'how great thou art)
How great thou art (the heavens and the firmaments declare the greatness of thy power)

Hey guys, does anyone have the lyrics to 'Igwe' by Midnight Crew? I deyb always chew my mouth for the Ibo part.

@4HIM

Victory House Choir
RCCG Victory House
Festac Town, Lagos

And for you, Here's a really great 4Him song.

4Him - You Are Holy
Here before your throne
I've come to worship You
And worship You alone
Here within my soul
A song begins to rise
Until it overflows
You are holy
You are holy
I will lift my voice to You
And sing it to the angels

You are holy
You are holy
We will offer You our praise
In a mighty chorus
You are holy
You are holy
Wonderful in all your ways
Holy You are holy, Lord

When Your love breaks through
And I am swept away
By just the glimpse of you
Then You make me new
And I am nothing less
Than what I find in You

You are holy
You are holy
I will lift my voice to You
And sing it to the angels

You are holy
You are holy
We will offer You our praise
In a mighty chorus
You are holy
You are holy
Wonderful in all your ways
Holy You are holy, Lord

Unto the One
Who sits on the throne
And unto the Lamb
Be all blessing and honor
And glory and power and praise

Unto the One
Who sits on the throne
And unto the Lamb
Be all blessing and honor
And glory and power and praise

You are holy
You are holy
We will offer You our praise
In a mighty chorus
You are holy
You are holy
Wonderful in all your ways
Holy You are holy, Lord

Why is everybody just posting the songs my choir lined up for the next one month? All the guys in my choir are competing for the solo of Me again. Beautiful song

Hey Lamdec, thats the song my choir did last Sunday. Beautiful Song.
For Easter we are doing another beautiful CeCe Winans Song

CeCe Winans - It wasn't Easy
Don't think for a moment
I never felt the pain
You can't imagine
the hurt and the shame
They put the nails through my hands
Pierced my side please understand
It wasn't easy
But it was worth it

It wasn't easy

I didn't have to do it
But I did it anyway
Cuz I really love you
So much I took your place
I died for your sins
Yes, I'm the one
Don't take it lightly what I've done

It wasn't easy
But it was worth it

It wasn't easy,

I left my throne
My purpose was the cross
Shed innocent blood I paid the cost

My Question is this: Has SysUser said any lie so far in all his posts? If not, can someone please answer his questions? Thank you.

It just occurd to me that nobody has posted this great song. It was written by Nicole C. Mullen but first performed by Jaci Velasquez. Whatever version you know, the lyrics are beautiful

On My Knees - Nicole C. Mullen

There are days,
When I feel
The best of me
Is ready to begin
Then they're days,
When I feel
I'm letting go,
And soaring on the wind
But I've learned in laughter or in pain,
How to survive

I get on my knees
I get on my knees
there I am before the Love that
Changes me
See, I don't know how,
But there's power
when I’m on my knees

I can be in a crowd,
or by myself.
and almost anywhere,
when I feel, there's a need
to talk with God, he is Emmanuel,
when I close my eyes,
no darkness there
there's only light

I get on my knees
I get on my knees
there I am before the Love that changes me
see I don't know how, but there's power
in the blue sky
in the midnight
when I’m on my knees
I get on my knees
I get on my knees
and there I am before the Love that changes me
See I don't know how, but there's power
when I’m on my ooh,
when I’m on my,
When I'm on my knees.

And this calm, meditative song from the otherwise vibrant, energetic Tye Tribbett talks about the awesome personality and tender loving care of God.

Tye Tribbett & GA - G.A.Hymn (Who Else But God)


Who is He who answers when I call?
Who is there in the time of need?
And when I get weak who gives me His strength?
Who else but God, who else but God

Who has power beyond what eyes can see?
Who orders the wind blow and rivers flow?
So great and mighty, yet still cares for me
Who else but God, who else but God

Now who is He who keeps my mind at ease?
And who gives me praise for heaviness?, and
For ashes, who gives beauty?
Who else but God, who else but God

Now who is He who always makes a way?
Who’s the one who never fails?
And in my trouble, who’s my present help?
Who else but God, who else but God

(Chorus)
No one else can do the things You do
You are holy
That’s why I will always worship You
You are holy

Who is He who gives health to my flesh?
Who allows my eyes to see?
And who’ll be there when everyone else leaves?
Who else but God, who else but God

Now who’s the one who died on Calvary?
And on day three rose again
And by His blood I’ve been redeemed
Who else but God, who else but God

(Chorus)
Who deserves the glory that is due?
And who should I give all my praise?
And when I give thanks…
Where should it go to?
Who else but God, who else but God

Oh God (Who has blessed me, (God) inspite of my ways? (God) Who has given me His favor?)
Oh God (Who loves me even more than myself?)
Who else but God, who else but God

How many people have heard this old 1997 song by Newsboys. It talks about people who see the difference and care from us Christians and long to know what makes us unique. What do we do? We take them to our leader (Introduce them to Christ).

Newsboys - Take me to your Leader

Isabelle is a belly dancer
with a kleptomaniac's restraint
tried stealing Helena's hand basket,
made a fast getaway,
but McQueen she ain't
at the courtroom Joshua judges her
ruthlessly on account of Ruth walking
out on him

in the Big House Isabelle is a-telling all
to the chaplain who's become her friend


she says: I don't know why you care
I don't know what's out there
I don't know where or how
just take me to your leader now
take me to your leader now

Justin is adjustin' to the odor from
Theodore's Evergreen Incense
but aroma therapy don't make him any
younger than Oliver's All Liver Supplements

his late mate Merrilee merrily said
immortality can't be bought in a jar
this just in: Justin's had enough of cure-
alls, gonna quiz the neighbor kid with the
fish on his car

he says: I don't know why you care
I don't know what's out there
I don't know how it's done
just take me to your leader, son

I see you've got the joy
I've seen you live it boy
It's real, it's free, it's fun,
so take me to your leader, son


They don't know why we care
They don't know what's out there
They don't know how it's done
Let's Take `Em To Our Leader's Son

They see we've got the joy
They see us live it oi
it's real, it's free, it's fun,
Let's Take `Em To Our Leader's Son

I wouldn't call myself a fan of DC Talk but there's this one song that truly ministers to me ( And that reggae feel at the end really rocks).

DC Talk - In The Light

I keep trying to find a life
On my own, apart from You
I am the king of excuses
I've got one for every selfish thing I do

What's going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior

(chorus)
I wanna be in the Light
As You are in the Light
I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens
Oh, Lord be my Light and be my salvation
Cause all I want is to be in the Light
All I want is to be in the Light

The disease of self runs through my blood
It's a cancer fatal to my soul
Every attempt on my behalf has failed
To bring this sickness under control

Tell me, what's going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior

(repeat chorus)

Honesty becomes me
[There's nothing left to lose]
The secrets that did run me
[In Your presence are defused]
Pride has no position
[And riches have no worth]
The fame that once did cover me
[Has been sentenced to this Earth]
Has been sentenced to this Earth

Tell me, what's going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior

(repeat chorus 2x)

[There's no other place that I want to be]
[No other place that I can see]
[A place to be that's just right]
[Someday I'm gonna be in the Light]
[You are in the Light]
[That's where I need to be]
[That's right where I need to be]

They've counterfeited every good thing God gave His people. Thats why for every topic Christians post on nairaland, these moo slims always have something silly to say. Now here comes the one topic they dont know jack about. the one topic they cannot counterfeit. because it can only come from a regenerated spirit.

@ Sisikill, this is the complete version of the lovely song you posted. My additions are in italics.

In the Morning - Wale Adenuga and Fountain of Praise

In the morning when I wake up
I know your love was there for me
At the break of each new day
I know your love is renewed to me

My Lord, my God
It's in you I live and move
All that I have it comes from you
All that I am you made me to be
Your praise isn't far for me
It's right there on my lips

My Voice, will i lift in the morning

Jesus, Jesus it is with much pleasure
that I praise your name
Jesus, Jesus it is with much pleasure
That I praise your name

The birds of the air they sing unto you
The leaves on the tree they clap their hands
The hills and the moutains the burst into songs
So why shouldn't I praise your name?

Jesus, Jesus it is with much pleasure
That I praise your name
Jesus, Jesus it is with much pleasure
That I praise you name.

Ever heard this song?

Broken but I'm Healed – Byron Cage

So you enter into this building,
you brought your burdens, brought your pain.
I have a message for you today,
that when you leave here, you won't be the same.

So you tell me you've been to your physician,
look at you there's been no change in your condition.
Reach out and touch the Master's Throne,
there's healing for your mind, your body, and your soul.

Chorus
God can heal, He can deliver.
He can mend your brokenness.
He has a miracle to fit your needs,
once you trust Him, you will receive.

God knows about your situation,
but with every test and every trial there is revelation,
that God is able to supply every one of your needs;
He's here to touch you, heal you, He'll set you free.

Chorus

So by the time that you leave this building,
my prayer for everyone in here is that you'll have your healing.
Once God works a miracle to fit your need,
go tell the world, what you have received.

Chorus 2:
God has healed, He has delivered.
He has mended my brokenness.
Gave me a miracle to fit my need;
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, I have received.

I have received.

Who is this Iyke Onka? is it d same hot new nigerian gospel singer that my colleague is sooooo shocked i haven't heard about?

@Gamine
Lamdec mentioned an upcoming concert and that reminded me of my choirs annual "Pages of Praise" concert. We're having it on the 12th of April. You're invited (thats if that elves place is close by ). We're having the Midnght Crew as guests on that day.

Wipe out religion by political power? That's assuming religion was created by political power in the first place.

As long as man has a spirit, he will always seek God. And by the way, the only way is through Christ (thats in case you havent heard).

Now presenting my current favorite song (We'll also be doing this song during our concert).

Donnie McClurkin- Total Praise

Verse
Lord I will lift
Mine eyes to the hills
Knowing my health
Is coming from You
Your peace You give me
In times of the storm

Chorus:
You are the source of my strength
And You are the strength of my life
I lift my hands in total praise
To You

Repeat Verse

Repeat Chorus (x2)

yeah, Imagine Me was definitely my favorite song in the 'Hero' Album. Have u listened to the 'Fight of my life' album?

And talking bout concerts, our concert is coming up next month. This is one of the songs we'll be doing

God Is Faithful - Kelly Price f Donnie McClurkin

Can I share my story about my journey
Ups and downs I’ve had plenty
Looking for love in al the wrong places
I found nothing to fill my empty spaces

I looked for mother she wasn’t there
No father around to care
Sisters and brothers they were not around
And my friends no where to be found

But when i called Jesus He was right there
To hear my cry and answer my prayer
God is faithful
He’s been better to me than I’ve been to myself

The Dr told me there was nothing else he could do
Shook his head and he left the room
Then I remembered oh the words that I read
In the holy scriptures where you said

He was wounded for my transgressions
He was bruised for my iniquities
And with His stripes right now i’m healed
I fell down down on my knees and I began to pray

I said Jesus and yeah He was right there
He heard my cry and He answered my prayer
God is faithful
And He’s been better to me than I could be to myself

Chorus
God is faithful Oh Yes he’s faithful
And if he said it, It will come to pass
Oh Oh
God is faithful yes he’s faithful

If he said it, I believe it
I won’t doubt it, I receive it!
God is faithful, yes he’s faithful

My God is faithful, Yes He is faithful

@Imhotep
Please can you explain the caption under the picture posted above?

Does any body listen to Selah?

All My Praise

I will follow You through green pastures
And sing hallelujah to Your Name
I will follow You through dark disaster
And sing hallelujah through the pain

And even in the shadow of death
I will praise You
And even in the valley I will say
Holy, My God
You are worthy of all my praise
Holy, My God
You are worthy of all my praise

You are seated on your throne in heaven
And You see all of us down here
And You have promised You will not abandon
So I shall not fear

And even in the shadow of death
I will praise You
And even in the valley I will say

Holy, My God
You are worthy of all my praise
Holy, My God
You are worthy of all my praise

You made every star
And You taught it how to shine
You knew my name before there was time
And all this was just part of Your glorious design
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Holy, My God
You are worthy of all my praise
Holy, My God
You are worthy of all my praise

Holy, My God
You are worthy of all my praise
Holy, My God
You are worthy of all my praise

A Pastor saying 'I don't Know' to fundamental questions of the Christian Faith (including the most important of all: Thye way to salvation) is not a mark of humility. Thats my opinion.

Ty Bello, Asa

Cobhams by far. Production is not just about giving dope beats.
@tenor, I love your post.
MOSA should also be on the list. He produced one of the best albums ever done in Nigeria - Ty Bello's Greenland.

Really good song. been a long wait since 'shock therapy' but guess it was worth it. I wish i had Kauna Al-l-ah by Sgt plus and J.Gyang as well as Eben's imaranma to play along with Lagimo on my system.

Why do carnal minds imagine they can understand spiritual things?
