| Re: Lord of Eternity | | [i]Offer this to all who have found the way hard at times. With love.[/i]
[b]Lord of Eternity[/b]
Blessed is the man Who walks in your favor Who loves all your words And hides them like treasure. In the darkest place Of his desperate heart, They are a light A strong, sure light.
Sometimes I call out your name, But I cannot find you. I look for your face, But you are not there. By my sorrows, Lord, Lift me to you. Lift me up to your side.
Lord of eternity, Father of mercy, Look on my fainting soul. Keeper of all the stars, Friend of the poorest heart Touch me and make me whole.
If you are my defender, Who is against me? No one can trouble or harm me If you are my strength All I ask, all I desire Is to live in your house all my days.
Lord of eternity, God of all mercy, Come to my troubled soul. Keeper of all the stars, Friend of the poorest heart, Touch me and make me whole.

| Re: Songs with a Message... | | Any guesses who my personal favorite recording artist is?
Rich Mullins If I Stand
There's more that rises in the morning Than the sun And more that shines in the night Than just the moon It's more than just this fire here That keeps me warm In a shelter that is larger Than this room
And there's a loyalty that's deeper Than mere sentiments And a music higher than the songs That I can sing The stuff of Earth competes For the allegiance I owe only to the Giver Of all good things
So if I stand let me stand on the promise That you will pull me through And if I can't, let me fall on the grace That first brought me to You And if I sing let me sing for the joy That has born in me these songs And if I weep let it be as a man Who is longing for his home
There's more that dances on the prairies Than the wind More that pulses in the ocean Than the tide There's a love that is fiercer Than the love between friends More gentle than a mother's When her baby's at her side
And there's a loyalty that's deeper Than mere sentiments And a music higher than the songs That I can sing The stuff of Earth competes For the allegence I owe only to the Giver Of all good things
So if I stand let me stand on the promise That you will pull me through And if I can't let me fall on the grace That first brought me to You And if I sing let me sing for the joy That has born in me these songs And if I weep let it be as a man Who is longing for his home
And if I stand let me stand on the promise That you will pull me through And if I can't let me fall on the grace That first brought me to You And if I sing let me sing for the joy That has born in me these songs And if I weep let it be as a man Who is longing for his home
And if I weep let it be as a man Who is longing for his home
Rich Mullins Hold Me Jesus
Well, sometimes my life just don't make sense at all When the mountains look so big And my faith just seems so small
So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf You have been King of my glory Won't You be my Prince of Peace
And I wake up in the night and feel the dark It's so hot inside my soul I swear there must be blisters on my heart
So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf You have been King of my glory Won't You be my Prince of Peace
Surrender don't come natural to me I'd rather fight You for something I don't really want Than to take what You give that I need And I've beat my head against so many walls Now I'm falling down, I'm falling on my knees
And this Salvation Army band is playing this hymn And Your grace rings out so deep It makes my resistance seem so thin
I'm singing hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf You have been King of my glory Won't You be my Prince of Peace
You have been King of my glory Won't You be my Prince of Peace
Rich Mullins We Are Not As Strong As We Think We Are
Well, it took the hand of God Almighty To part the waters of the sea But it only took one little lie To separate you and me Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are
And they say that one day Joshua Made the sun stand still in the sky But I can't even keep these thoughts of you from passing by Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are
We are frail, we are fearfully and wonderfully made Forged in the fires of human passion Choking on the fumes of selfish rage And with these our hells and our heavens So few inches apart We must be awfully small And not as strong as we think we are
And the Master said their faith was Gonna make them mountains move But me, I tremble like a hill on a fault line Just at the thought of how I lost you Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are
We are frail, we are fearfully and wonderfully made Forged in the fires of human passion Choking on the fumes of selfish rage And with these our hells and our heavens So few inches apart We must be awfully small And not as strong as we think we are
And if you make me laugh I know I could make you like me 'Cause when I laugh I can be a lot of fun But we can't do that I know that it is frightening What I don't know is why we can't hold on We can't hold on.
It took the hand of God Almighty To part the waters of the sea But it only took one little lie To separate you and me Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are
When you love you walk on the water Just don't stumble on the waves We all want to go there somethin' awful But to stand there it takes some grace 'Cause oh, we are not as strong As we think we are
No, we are not as strong As we think we are
Walk on the water Walk on the water If we could just hold on Just hold on

| Re: Does Jesus Care? and "Our God, He is Alive" | | This is my favorite song for different reasons: the lyrics and the music. The male bass voices lead in the chorus
if you have a room full of people who know this song well and they sing it
well, the roof just about flies off!
OUR GOD, HE IS ALIVE There is, beyond the azure blue A God, concealed from human sight He tinted skies with heavenly hue And framed the worlds with His great might
Chorus: There is a God (there is a God) He is alive (He is alive) In Him we live (in Him we live) And we survive (and we survive) From dust our God (from dust our God) Created man (created man) He is our God (He is our God) The Great I AM (the Great I AM)
There was, a long, long time ago A God, whose voice the prophets heard He is the God that we should know Who speaks from His inspired Word
Chorus
Secure , is life from mortal mind, God holds the germ within His hand, Tho men may search they cannot find For God alone does understand.
Chorus
Our God, whose Son upon a tree A life was willing there to give That He from sin might set man free And evermore with Him could live
The song that ministers to me the most in my trying times is Does Jesus Care? It can be listened to on: http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/d/o/doesjeca.htm
DOES JESUS CARE?
Does Jesus care when my heart is pained Too deeply for mirth or song, As the burdens press, and the cares distress And the way grows weary and long?
Refrain
Oh yes, He cares, I know He cares, His heart is touched with my grief; When the days are weary, the long nights dreary, I know my Savior cares.
Does Jesus care when my way is dark With a nameless dread and fear? As the daylight fades into deep night shades, Does He care enough to be near?
Refrain
Does Jesus care when Ive tried and failed To resist some temptation strong; When for my deep grief there is no relief, Though my tears flow all the night long?
Refrain
Does Jesus care when Ive said goodbye To the dearest on earth to me, And my sad heart aches till it nearly breaks, Is it aught to Him? Does He see?
Refrain

| Re: Songs with a Message... | | Thanks for this thread.
There are sooo many!
for example, one old one, the Gospel in a nutshell!
[color=000099]Blessed be God our God! Who gave for us his well-beloved Son, The gift of gifts, all other gifts in one - Blessed be God our God!
What will he not bestow, Who freely gave this mighty gift unbought, Unmerited, unheeded and unsought - What will he not bestow?
He spared not his Son! 'Tis this that silences each rising fear; 'Tis this that makes the hard thought disappear - He spared not his Son!
Who shall condemn us now? Since Christ has died, and risen, and gone above For us to plead at the right hand of Love, Who shall condemn us now?
'Tis God that justifies! Who shall recall the pardon or the grace, Or who the broken chain of guilt replace? 'Tis God that justifies!
The victory is ours! For us in might came forth the mighty One; For us he fought the fight, the triumph won - The victory is ours![/color]
And a modern hymn: [color=000099]How deep the Fathers love for us How vast beyond all measure That He should give His only Son To make a wretch His treasure. How great the pain of searing loss The Father turns His face away As wounds which mar the chosen One Bring many sons to glory.
Behold the man upon a cross My sin upon His shoulders Ashamed I hear my mocking voice Call out among the scoffers It was my sin that held Him there Until it was accomplished His dying breath has brought me life I know that it is finished.
I will not boast in anything No gifts, no power, no wisdom But I will boast in Jesus Christ His death and resurrection Why should I gain from His reward? I cannot give an answer But this I know with all my heart His wounds have paid my ransom.[/color]

| Re: | | Here is love, vast as the ocean, Lovingkindness as the flood, When the Prince of Life, our Ransom, Shed for us His precious blood. Who His love will not remember? Who can cease to sing His praise? He can never be forgotten, Throughout Heavns eternal days.
On the mount of crucifixion, Fountains opened deep and wide; Through the floodgates of Gods mercy Flowed a vast and gracious tide. Grace and love, like mighty rivers, Poured incessant from above, And Heavns peace and perfect justice Kissed a guilty world in love.
Let me all Thy love accepting, Love Thee, ever all my days; Let me seek Thy kingdom only And my life be to Thy praise; Thou alone shalt be my glory, Nothing in the world I see. Thou hast cleansed and sanctified me, Thou Thyself hast set me free.
In Thy truth Thou dost direct me By Thy Spirit through Thy Word; And Thy grace my need is meeting, As I trust in Thee, my Lord. Of Thy fullness Thou art pouring Thy great love and power on me, Without measure, full and boundless, Drawing out my heart to Thee.
William Rees

| Before the Throne of God Above | | Before the throne of God above, I have a strong, a perfect plea, A great High Priest whose name is "Love," Who ever lives and pleads for me. My name is graven on His hands, My name is writen on His heart; I know that while in heav'n He stands no tongue can bid me thence depart. No tongue can bid me thence depart.
When Satan tempts me to despair, and tells me of the guilt within, upward I look and see Him there Who made an end to all my sin. Because the sinless Savior died, my sinful soul is counted free; For God, the Just, is satisfied to look on him and pardon me. to look on him and pardon me.
Behold him there! the risen Lamb, my perfect, spotless Righteousness, the great unchangeable I AM, the King of glory and of grace! One with Himself I cannot die, My soul is purchased by His blood; My life is hid with Christ on high, with Christ, my Savior and my God with Christ, my Savior and my God

| Re: If You Want Me To... | | [i]I was listening to this one again just a few minutes ago.[/i]
[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: | | [b]Remember Me[/b] by Mark Shultz
[i]Verse 1:[/i] Remember me In a Bible cracked and faded by the years Remember me In a santuary filled with silent prayers
[i]CHORUS:[/i] And age to age And heart to heart Bound by grace and peace Child of wonder, Child of God I'll remember you Remember Me
[i]Verse 2:[/i] Remember me When the color of the sunset fills the sky Remember me When you pray and the tears of joy fall from your eyes
[i]CHORUS [/i]
[i]Verse 3:[/i] Remember me When the children leave their Sunday school with smiles Remember me When they're old enough to teach Old enough to preach Old enough to leave
[i]CHORUS [/i]
Age to age and heart to heart Child of wonder child of God
Remember me
Age to age and heart to heart Child of wonder child of God

| Re: | | A favorite hymn...
[b]Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing[/b] Words by Robert Robinson Music by Asahel Nettleton 1757
1. Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above. Praise the mount! Im fixed upon it, Mount of Thy redeeming love.
2. Sorrowing I shall be in spirit, Till released from flesh and sin, Yet from what I do inherit, Here Thy praises I'll begin; Here I raise my Ebenezer; Here by Thy great help Ive come; And I hope, by Thy good pleasure, Safely to arrive at home.
3. Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wandering from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, Interposed His precious blood; How His kindness yet pursues me Mortal tongue can never tell, Clothed in flesh, till death shall loose me I cannot proclaim it well.
4. O to grace how great a debtor Daily Im constrained to be! Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, Bind my wandering heart to Thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love; Heres my heart, O take and seal it, Seal it for Thy courts above.
5. O that day when freed from sinning, I shall see Thy lovely face; Clothed then in blood washed linen How Ill sing Thy sovereign grace; Come, my Lord, no longer tarry, Take my ransomed soul away; Send thine angels now to carry Me to realms of endless day.
