| Re: | | Check out Stephanie Staple's music at www.stephaniestaples.com
Bid Me Come to You (from the album Breath On Me)
Vs 1: I don't want to stay here I've only come half way I've seen you in the clouds But I'm needing you right now.
Chorus: Bid me come to you Bid me come
Vs 2: I'm sorry Lord I've failed You Not doing what You've called me to But I will speak Your name In spite of all the pain
Chorus: Bid me come to you Bid me come
Bridge: You're calling, won't You tell me things I've never known. You're drawing, won't You bring me nearer to Your throne. You brought me in to dine with You And You've laid me at Your feet But Your presence is not enough We have to see Your face.
Chorus: Bid me come to You Bid me come.

| Be Still... | | Hi Roxi...!
That is a lovely song. It reminds me of one that I heard on an old "record" (those round, flat disks) that my mom had from the 1980s called [i]Be Still[/i]. It was written by Scott Wesley Brown, but it was performed by Angie Lewis (who wrote [i]Silent Weeper[/i]).
[b]Be Still[/b] by Scott Wesley Brown
[i]Verse 1[/i] I want to hear you speak to me The words I'm longing for. 'Cause sitting here in silence Makes me cry. I'm learning how to wait for you And trust you with my life. Your answers come so slowly, Lord, Yet they always come on time.
[i]Chorus[/i] 'Cause you hear me Every breath I take. You see me Every move I make. And you tell me to be still And know that you are God.
[i]Verse 2[/i] Sometimes my Lord I wish that I Could look into your eyes Or feel you hold me in your arms So tight. 'Cause I am weary running For the answers that I seek I need the comfort of your love The stillness of your peace.
[i]Repeat Chorus[/i] 'Cause you hear me Every breath I take. You see me Every move I make. And you tell me to be still And know that you are God.

| Re: The Heart of Worship... | | I know that this song may be played rather often now, but the words are both powerful and intimate:
[b]The Heart of Worship[/b] [i]by Matt Redman[/i]
[i]Verse 1[/i] When the music fades, All is stripped away, And I simply come. Longing just to bring Something that's of worth That will bless Your heart.
[i]Bridge[/i] I'll bring You more than a song. For a song in itself is not what You have required. You search much deeper within, Than the way things appear; You're looking into my heart.
[i]Chorus[/i] I'm coming back to the heart of worship, And it's all about You, All about You, Jesus. I'm sorry Lord for the things I've made it. When it's all about You. All about you, Jesus.
[i]Verse 2[/i] King of endless worth No one could express How much You deserve! Though I'm weak and poor All I have is Yours, Every single breath.
[i]Bridge[/i] I'll bring You more than a song. For a song in itself is not what You have required. You search much deeper within, Than the way things appear; You're looking into my heart.
[i]Chorus[/i] I'm coming back to the heart of worship, Where it's all about You, All about You, Jesus. I'm sorry Lord for the things I've made it. When it's all about You. All about you, Jesus.

| Re: | | I like this song alot:
Who am I that You would be mindful of me To come and die, to give Your life eternally Who am I that You would be mindful of me To testify I am a sinner who's been set free
Chorus: For Your majesty knows no bounds And You've placed Your glory high above the stars My back to You, I layed You on my cross But Your love for me has set my spirit free
Who am I that You would be mindful of me To take the time, to hear me cry a faithless plea Who am I that You would be mindful of me To shed Your blood, that'd You be able to dwell in me
Oh Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth I can't believe I'm standing face to face with a King Oh Lord, how perfected was Your pain and our salvation I can't believe I ever tried to live without You For You are my God _________________ Jonathan Veldhuis

| Re: | | This is a great song by Steve Green. We can all sing and pray this song.
"I Repent"
I regret the hours I have wasted, And the pleasures I have tasted that you were never in.
And I confess that though your love is in me, It doesn't always win me when competing with my sin.
I lament the idols I've accepted, The commandments I've rejected to pursue my selfish end.
And I confess I need You to revive me, Put selfishness behind me, And take up my cross again.
Chorus And I repent, making no excuses. I repent, no one else to blame. And I return to fall in love with Jesus. I bow down on my knees. And I repent.
Blessings,
Mike

| Re: Songs with a message | | I read a moving story in a Salvation Army Magizine years ago about this song and how it came to be. Without the details that I read in the S.A. magizine, read what George Matheson wrote at the cyber hymnal. O LOVE THAT WILT NOT LET ME GO
O Love that wilt not let me go, I rest my weary soul in thee; I give thee back the life I owe, That in thine ocean depths its flow May richer, fuller be.
O light that followest all my way, I yield my flickering torch to thee; My heart restores its borrowed ray, That in thy sunshines blaze its day May brighter, fairer be.
O Joy that seekest me through pain, I cannot close my heart to thee; I trace the rainbow through the rain, And feel the promise is not vain, That morn shall tearless be.
O Cross that liftest up my head, I dare not ask to fly from thee; I lay in dust lifes glory dead, And from the ground there blossoms red Life that shall endless be.
Brokenness by David Meece
In my brokenness In my my hour of darkness I will lift my hands and worship You In my brokenness In my time of sadness I will lift my voice in praise to You
Time stands still as I kneel down before You life draws near like waves upon the shore You touch me in my brokenness in these whispering shadows I will lift the pieces of my heart to You
Time stands still as I kneel down before You life is here Your waves of power and glory touch me in my brokeness in my hour of darkeness I will lift my hands and worship You
I will lift my hands and worship You listen here http://home.cogeco.ca/~jonesie2/03.htm _________________ Eileen Teitsworth

| Re: | | Consider Him
Consider Him, let Christ thy pattern be, And know that He has apprehended thee To share His very life His powr Divine And in the likeness of thy Lord to shine.
Consider Him, and thus thy life shall be Filled with self-sacrifice and purity; God will work out in thee the pattern true, And Christs example ever keep in view.
Consider Him, Thy great High Priest above Is interceding in untiring love, And He would have thee thus Within the Vail By Spirit-breathed petitions to prevail.
Consider Him, and as you run the race. Keep ever upward looking in His face; And thus transformed, illumined thou shalt be, And Christs own image shall be seen in thee.
E. May Grimes
The music is by Edward J. Hopkins and it is a beautiful tune for this hymn.
During my quiet time with the Lord this morning this song really ministered to my heart. It was the fresh reminder I needed to 'Consider Him' as it says in Hebrews 12:3.
Looking to Jesus, Roniya |

| If You Want Me To... | | [i]I posted this in another thread on Sunday. I thought that it might belong in this thread as well...[/i]
This morning, I listened to the song If You Want Me To by a singer named Ginny Owens. The song meant alot to me when I was going through a difficult time a few years ago. But today, I heard Ginny Owens' testimony concerning how she lost her eyesight as a child. Yet she has accomplished alot since then. She graduated from college, yet she couldn't find a school that would hire her as a teacher. But she didn't let this hold her back. In fact, it opened doors for ministry.
[b]If You Want Me To[/b] by Ginny Owens
[i]Verse 1[/i]: The pathway is broken And The signs are unclear And I don't know the reason why You brought me here But just because You love me the way that You do I'm gonna walk through the valley If You want me to
[i]Chorus[/i]: Cause I'm not who I was When I took my first step And I'm clinging to the promise You're not through with me yet so if all of these trials bring me closer to you Then I will go through the fire If You want me to
It may not be the way I would have chosen When you lead me through a world that's not my home But You never said it would be easy You only said I'd never go alone
[i]Verse 2[/i]: So When the whole world turns against me And I'm all by myself And I can't hear You answer my cries for help I'll remember the suffering Your love put You through And I will go through the valley If You want me to

| Re: | | I dunno. There's something about this song by Nicol Sponberg that I like.
'Resurrection'
I'm at a loss for words, there's nothing to say I sit in silence wondering what led me to this place How did my heart become so lifeless and cold Where did the passion go?
When all my efforts seem like chasing wind I've used up all my strength and there's nothing left to give I've lost the feeling and I'm down to the core I can't fake it anymore.
chorus: Here I am at the end I'm in need of resurrection Only You can take this empty shell and raise it from the dead What I've lost to the world what seems far beyond redemption You can take the pieces in Your hand and make me whole again, again
You speak and all creation falls to its knees You raise Your hand and calm the waves of the raging sea You have a way of turning winter to spring Make something beautiful out of all this suffering
chorus 2: Here I am once again I'm in need of resurrection Only You can take this empty shell and raise it from the dead What I've lost to the world what seems far beyond redemption You can take the pieces in Your hand and make me whole again, again |
