When I first heard this song I cried so hard. This song really touched my life. My life right now has been a mess but I am relying on God to be with me.
I really love the bridge that says.
Here in the middle of the lonely night
Here in the middle of the losing fight, You're
Here in the middle of the deep regret
Here when the healing hasn't happened yet
Here in the middle of the desert place
Here in the middle when I cannot see Your face
Here in the middle with Your outstretched arms
You can see my pain and it breaks Your heart
I pray this song touches you as it did me. My prayer for you today is that God will find you wherever you are and whatever you are going through.
My Paper Heart is one of my all time favorite songs ever. It talks about how God has our heart. Remember that even if you don't have that special guy in your life God loves you and wants your heart. Enjoy this song today! Thought it would be a great way to end our month of Love.
This song I have listened to for several years. I thought it would be appropriate for this weeks Worship Wednesday as it went along with my post on Monday. I hope you will take a few minutes and listen. Rebecca St. James wrote this song on waiting for the day when God will give her the right guy to be her husband. I pray everyday that God will send me the right guy but until He does I will be waiting and saving myself for him.
This weeks song is by Kari Jobe. This song ties into what I wrote about on Monday. We need to seek God and Jesus in prayer. Hope you are encouraged but this song. Let the music just speak to you. Close your eyes and listen to the lyrics and just talk to God.
This has been a favorite for a couple years now. I thought it was appropiate to share this week with you. On monday we talked about worship music and worshipping God. This song is perfect. I love the bridge that says, "I'm gonna worship you forever, I'm gonna worship you" Let's worship God today and everyday because He is worthy of all our praise. As long as I am able to breathe I will worship God with my whole heart.
Today's Worship Wednesday song is my theme for the year and goes along with my word of the year. I love the line in this song that says "Take me deeper then my feet could ever wander." I want to go deeper in His Word and deeper in my relationship with Him. Hope you are blessed by this song.
This song was one of my go to last summer. I was going through some rough spots and was struggling with being fake. I kept telling everyone that things were going fine and I would smile when inside I was falling apart. We just need to be real and honest with each other. Hope this encourages you today. Share your brokenness and how you feel instead of hiding it.
Well, I'm tired of saying everything
I feel like I'm supposed to say
I'm tired of smiling all the time
I wanna throw the mask away
Sometimes you just have a bad day
Sometimes you just wanna scream
Tell me I'm not the only one
Tell me that you feel just like me
We keep tryin to make it look so nice
And we keep hidin' what's goin on inside
But what if I share my brokenness
What if you share how you feel
And what if we weren't afraid of this crazy mess
What if we were real
What if we were real
I'm over hidin my tears
I think I'm gonna let em' go
I'm over actin so strong
When I ain't even in control
We make it so complicated
But why does it have to be
Why can't we open our hearts and let everybody see
We keep tryin to make it look so nice
And we keep hidin' what's goin on inside
But what if I share my brokenness
What if you share how you feel
And what if we weren't afraid of this crazy mess
What if we were real
We'd think a little less of ourselves
We'd care about someone else
'Cause we'd know just how they feel
Maybe we could let someone love us
Maybe we'd a little more like Jesus
Why can't we learn to real
We keep tryin to make it look so nice
And we keep hidin' what's goin on inside
But what if I share my brokenness
What if you share how you feel
And what if we weren't afraid of this crazy mess
What if we were real
You've got to be real
You've got to be real
You've got to be real
You've got to
You've got to
Here is a song that has been so encouraging lately. We see ourselves like what we have done but God sees us as what He has done. Let this be encouraging to you today.
How many times can one heart break?
It was never supposed to be this way
Look in the mirror, but you find someone you never thought you'd be
Oh, but I can still recognize
The one I love in your tear stained eyes
I know you might not see him now, so lift your eyes to me
When you see broken beyond repair
I see healing beyond belief
When you see too far gone
I see one step away from home
When you see nothing but damaged goods
I see something good in the making
I'm not finished yet
When you see wounded, I see mended
You see your worst mistake
But I see the price I paid
There's nothing you could ever do, to lose what grace has won
So hold on, it's not the end
No, this is where love's work begins
I'm making all things new
And I will make a miracle of you
When you see broken beyond repair
I see healing beyond belief
When you see too far gone
I see one step away from home
When you see nothing but damaged goods
I see something good in the making
I'm not finished yet
When you see wounded, I see mended
I see my child, my beloved
The new creation you're becoming
You see the scars from when you fell
But I see the stories they will tell
You see worthless, I see priceless
You see pain, but I see a purpose
You see unworthy, undeserving
But I see you through eyes of mercy
When you see broken beyond repair
I see healing beyond belief
You're not too far gone
You're one step away from home
When you see nothing but damaged goods
I see something good in the making
I'm not finished yet, no
When you see wounded, I see mended
Ooh, I see mended
Woah, oh I see mended
I'm not finished yet
When you see wounded, I see mended
This song has been my theme lately. I want the world and the ones around me to see Christ living in me. Every thing I do and say I want them to see Him living in me. Stop and think about this! Take time right now and say from now on I want everyone to see Him come through me. Have a blessed day.
Take away the melodies
Take away the songs I sing
Take away all the lights
And all the songs You let me write
Does the man I am today
Say the words You need to say
Let them see You
In me
Let them hear You
When I speak
Let them feel You
When I sing
Let them see You
Let them see You
In me
Who am I without Your grace
Another smile, another face
Another breath, a grain of sand
Passing quickly through Your hand
I'd give my life, an offering
Take it all, take everything
Let them see You
In me
Let them hear You
When I speak
Let them feel You
When I sing
Let them see You
Let them see You
In me
With every breath I breathe
I sing a simple melody
But I pray they'll hear more than a song
In me, in me
Let them see You
In me
Let them hear You
When I speak
Let them feel You
When I sing
Let them see You
Oh, let them see You
In me
Let them hear You
When I speak
Let them feel You
When I sing
Let them see You
Just let them see You in me
Let them see You
Love! Love! Love this song. God I will shout your name for you are worthy of endless praise!
At Your name
The mountains shake and crumble
At Your name
The oceans roar and tumble
At Your name
Angels will bow
The earth will rejoice
Your people cry out
[Chorus:]
Lord of all the earth
We shout Your name, shout Your name
Filling up the skies
With endless praise, endless praise
Yahweh, Yahweh
We love to shout Your name, oh Lord
At Your name
The morning breaks in Glory
At Your name
Creation sings Your story
At Your name
Angels will bow
The earth will rejoice
Your people cry out
[Chorus]
There is no one like our God
We will praise you, praise you
There is no one like our God
We will sing, we will sing [x3]
It's Not Over Yet! This song has spoken to me in ways I can't explain. It has reminded me that no matter what it's not over yet even when I feel defeated. The story behind this song that For King and Country wrote was for their sister who struggled with chronic Lyme disease. When I first heard this song I immediately fell in love with it. I could relate to the lyrics. You see I have chronic lymes as well and struggle everyday with the symptoms but you know what. I'm going to keep fighting because my life isn't over yet. I'm just getting started. Even if I have hit my limit. I'm not giving up or giving in. I hope this encourages you as it has me.
They are inside your head
You got a voice that says
You won't get past this one
You won't win your freedom
It's like a constant war
And you want to settle that score
But you're bruised and beaten
And you feel defeated
This goes out to the heaviest heart
[Chorus:]
Oh, to everyone who's hit their limit
It's not over yet
It's not over ye-et
And even when you think you're finished
It's not over yet
It's not over ye-et
Keep on fighting
Out of the dark
Into the light
It's not over
Hope is rising
Never give in
Never give up
It's not over
Yea-et-et, whoa
Yea-et-et, whoa
Oh, game set match
It's time to put it in your past, oh
Feel the winter leavin'
It's redemption season
Long live the young at heart (Here we are)
Cheers to a brand new start (Here we are)
We're revived and breathing
To live a life of freedom
[Chorus:]
Oh, to everyone who's hit their limit
It's not over yet
It's not over ye-et
And even when you think you're finished
It's not over yet
It's not over ye-et
Keep on fighting
Out of the dark
Into the light
It's not over
Hope is rising
Never give in
Never give up
It's not over
Life is a race we run
So run till the race is won
Don't you ever give up (Here we are)
Oh no never give up (Here we are)
Life is a race we run
So run till the race is won
Don't you ever give up (Here we are)
We will never give up (Here we are)
[Chorus:]
Oh, to everyone who's hit their limit
And even when you think you're finished
It's not over yet
Oh, to everyone who's hit their limit
It's not over yet
It's not over ye-et
And even when you think you're finished
It's not over yet
It's not over ye-et
Keep on fighting
Out of the dark
Into the light
It's not over
Hope is rising
Never give in
Never give up
It's not over
Shoulders has been a very personal song that God has used in my life the last couple months. I got to hear this song sung live at Winter Jam and its amazing. I hope that it is an encouragement to you as it is to me. No matter what happens or what you are going through remember that God is where your help comes from. He will pull you through.
When confusion's my companion
And despair holds me for ransom
I will feel no fear
I know that You are near
When I'm caught deep in the valley
With chaos for my company
I'll find my comfort here
‘Cause I know that You are near
[Chorus:]
My help comes from You
You're right here, pulling me through
You carry my weakness, my sickness, my brokenness all on Your shoulders
Your shoulders
My help comes from You
You are my rest, my rescue
I don't have to see to believe that You're lifting me up on Your shoulders
Your shoulders
You mend what once was shattered
And You turn my tears to laughter
Your forgiveness is my fortress
Oh Your mercy is relentless
[Chorus]
My help is from You
Don't have to see it to believe it
My help is from you
Don't have to see it, ‘cause I know, ‘cause I know it's true
[Chorus]
My help is from You
Don't have to see it to believe it
My help is from you
Don't have to see it, ‘cause I know, ‘cause I know it's true
Isn't it wonderful that we can have fun because we are living in God's light. We have a reason to sing, dance and praise God for we are unstoppable. He is our everything. We are alive in His grace because we have seen the light and chose it. His love frees us! We are having fun!!!
We've stepped from darkness to light In Your grace we are alive Your fire is burning inside We've living in Your light We've living in Your light
So we're dancing with every reason to dance now We're singing with every reason to sing out Your love unfailing, never fails to free us And now we’ve only just begun
Jesus, you pull back the night you have, opened our eyes we rise up, and face every lie we’re fearless in your sight
So as we all are preparing for Thanksgiving tomorrow, I thought it would be good to reflect on one of my favorite songs for Thanksgiving. Forever by Chris Tomlin. We has so much to be thankful for. God is so good and His love endures forever. He sent His Son to die for us because He loved us so much. Forever God is faithful, strong, and is always with us. What are you thankful for?
"Forever"
Give thanks to the Lord our God and King
His love endures forever
For He is good, He is above all things
His love endures forever
Sing praise, sing praise
With a mighty hand and outstretched arm
His love endures forever
For the life that's been reborn
His love endures forever
Sing praise, sing praise [2x]
Forever God is faithful
Forever God is strong
Forever God is with us
Forever
From the rising to the setting sun
His love endures forever
And by the grace of God we will carry on
His love endures forever
Sing praise, sing praise [2x] [2x]
Forever God is faithful
Forever God is strong
Forever God is with us
Forever
Sing praise, sing praise [4x]
Forever God is faithful
Forever God is strong
Forever God is with us
Forever
Forever You are faithful
Forever You are strong
Forever You are with us
Forever
Welcome to a brand new series. I'm calling it Worship Wednesdays. Why that name? Well as most of you know, one passion I have is music. There's nothing better then music to help me get through the day and when the music pleases and worships God it makes it even better. So I am hoping to bring you a new worship song that I have been listening to each week. My prayer is that it will encourage and inspire you to spend more time praising God.
So are you ready? Let's get to this weeks song.
Today I decided to choose the song The Same God by: Newsong. It's one I have been listening to a lot lately. One thing about this song is I can relate to it. I have been having a lot of family stress going on lately and it's gotten to the point that I feel like I can't take much more. I keep praying but sometimes it feels like God doesn't hear me. After listening to this song I am reminded that God was with me before all this happened and He is still with me now. I just keep holding on to Him. He will get me through this. He is the same God yesterday, today, and forever.
Hope this song encourages you. Here are the lyrics below. Let's worship God together in song.
Back to the wall, scared you'll fall
What you going to do
Day and night,
Don't know why its like the worlds' against you
You're praying for a break through
There was a day
When your faith couldn't be held down
God was near enough to hear every word
But somehow you wish He heard you right now
Don't you know
The same God who was with you then is with you now
The same God who led you in will lead you out
So take all the fear and doubt
Go on and lay them down
The same God, the same God is with you now
Can't you see
Everything happens for a reason
There's a time, there's a place
For every season
He knows what's best for you
So don't be afraid
The same God who was with you then is with you now
The same God who led you in will lead you out
So take all the fear and doubt
Go on and lay them down
The same God, the same God is with you now
Just keep holding on
Oh keep holding on
The same God who was with you then is with you now
The same God who led you in will lead you out
So take all the fear and doubt
Go on and lay them down
The same God, the same God is with you now
