| Re: | | I have always liked this simple old song. It reminds me that we are all (to borrow from Bunyan) "pilgrims on a journey to the Celestial City." Yet we must endeavor to encourage one another as often as we can (Hebrews 10:24-25).

[b]The Servant Song[/b] by Richard Gillard
Brother, let me be your servant Let me be as Christ to you Pray that I may have the grace To let you be my servant, too
We are pilgrims on a journey We are brothers on the road We are here to help each other Walk the mile and bear the load
I will hold the Christlight for you In the night-time of your fear I will hold my hand out to you Speak the peace you long to hear
I will weep when you are weeping When you laugh I'll laugh with you I will share your joy and sorrow Till we've seen this journey through
When we sing to God in heaven We shall find such harmony Born of all we've known together Of Christ's love and agony
Brother, let me be your servant Let me be as Christ to you Pray that I may have the grace To let you be my servant, too

| Consider the Cost by Steve Camp... | | This is another one of my favorite songs with a message. It is more or less a compilation of Scripture passages about giving your all to the Lord.
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8InK4-Jjgqo]Click HERE[/url] to listen to the song.
[b]Consider the Cost[/b] by Steve Camp
[i]Verse 1[/i]
To obey is better than sacrifice and to hearken than the fat of rams. For what will a man give for his own life -- houses or money or land? There's a way that seems right to you, but in the end it leads only to death. But come unto Him all ye weary -- come and find your rest!
[i]Chorus[/i]
Consider the cost of building a tower It's a narrow way that you must come. To do the will of the Father is to follow the Son! To love Him more than father or mother! To love Him more than your own flesh! To give all that you are, for all that He is -- this is the gospel according to Jesus.
[i]Verse 2[/i]
Many will say, "Lord, Lord," on that day, "Look what we've done in Your name, "We've prophesied and performed many miracles and Lord, even demons obeyed!"
Then the Lord will declare unto them the most terriifying words of truth. "Depart from me ye workers of iniquity, for I have never known you!"
[i]Repeat Chorus[/i]
Consider the cost of building a tower It's a narrow way that you must come. To do the will of the Father is to follow the Son! To love Him more than father or mother! To love Him more than your own flesh! To give all that you are, for all that He is -- this is the gospel according to Jesus.
[i]Verse 3[/i]
Oh foolish man, how you built on the sand trusting in your goodness to save! For when the rain falls, and the flood breaks the walls, you will be swept away!
But blessed is he who builds on the Rock -- who takes Jesus as Lord to save! For when the rain falls, he will endure it all -- standing firm in His grace!
[i]Repeat Chorus[/i]
Consider the cost of building a tower It's a narrow way that you must come. To do the will of the Father is to follow the Son! To love Him more than father or mother! To love Him more than your own flesh! To give all that you are, for all that He is -- this is the gospel according to Jesus.

| Re: Consider the Cost by Steve Camp... | | Another old, heart-searching song from Steve Camp. The song deals with a "Gospel" message that is often in word only...and how a demonstration of the Gospel is often far more valuable than a mere verbal expression or cliché.

[b]Don't Tell Them Jesus Loves Them[/b] by Steve Camp & Rob Frazier
[i]Verse 1[/i]
Oh, the suffering souls Crying out for love In a world that seldom cares See the hungry hearts Longing to be filled With much more than our prayers
And a young girl sells herself on Seventh Avenue And you hear her crying out for help Oh God, what will we do ?
[i]Chorus[/i]
Don't tell them Jesus loves them Till you're ready to love them too! Till your heart breaks from their sorrow And the pain they're going through With a life full of compassion May we do what we must do Don't tell them Jesus loves them Till you're ready to love them too!
[i]Verse 2[/i]
All the desperate men Are we reaching for the souls That are sinking down sin? Oh, cry for the church We've lost our passion for the lost And there are billions left to win
And another 40,000 children starved to death today Would we risk all we have To see one of them saved!?!
[i]Repeat Chorus[/i]
Don't tell them Jesus loves them Till you're ready to love them too! Till your heart breaks from their sorrow And the pain they're going through With a life full of compassion May we do what we must do Don't tell them Jesus loves them Till you're ready to love them too!
[i]Verse 3[/i]
Why have we waited so long To show them Jesus lives To share salvation's song!
Why have our hearts become so proud That we fail to see To love them is to love God!
And a young girl sells herself on Seventh Avenue Hear her crying out for help What will we do?
[i]Repeat Chorus[/i]
Don't tell them Jesus loves them Till you're ready to love them too! Till your heart breaks from their sorrow And the pain they're going through With a life full of compassion May we do what we must do Don't tell them Jesus loves them Till you're ready to love them too! _________________ Christopher

| Re: Trust His Heart | | Back in 1995 when our daughter was hospitalized at St. Mary's at Saginaw, MI I was driving along when this song came on the radio; it was new to me. After the LORD called her home in Jan. 1996, I called this radio station to get info about the song...Eventually I got a recording of this song - "Praises, Three Decades of Inspirational Song" sung by the Master' Chorale. I have played this song many times, bringing comfort to this mom. Recently another sister shared how this song helped her deal with her affliction.

Here it is for your inspiration:
TRUST HIS HEART by Babbie Mason
All things work for our good though sometimes we can't see how they could struggles that break our hearts in two sometimes blinds us to the truth
Our Father knows what's best for us His ways are not our own So when your pathway grows dim, and you just can't see Him Remember you're never alone
God is too wise to be mistaken God is too good to be unkind So when you don't understand When you don't see His plan When you can't trace His hand Trust His heart
He sees the master plan And He holds our future in His hands So don't live as those who have no hope All our hope is found in Him
We see the present clearly But He sees the first and the last And like a tapestry He's weaving you and me to someday be just like Him
God is too wise to be mistaken God is too good to be unkind So when you don't understand When you don't see His plan When you can't trace His hand Trust His heart
He alone is faithful and true He alone knows what is best for you So when you don't understand When you don't see His plan When you can't trace His hand trust His heart

| Re: | | Here is another song that I like. This is a different "Purify My Heart" than the "Refiner's Fire" song (which I also like). This is a simple song that I enjoy praying with the guitar when I am alone with the Lord.
[b]Purify My Heart[/b]
Purify my heart Touch me with your cleansing fire Take me to the cross Your holiness is my desire
Breathe your life in me Kindle the love that flows from your throne
Purify my heart! Purify my heart!
:-)

| Re: | | [i]Here's one more that I love singing to the Lord! [/i]
[b]You are my all in all[/b] Written by Dennis Jernigan
Verse 1
You are my strength when I am weak You are the treasure that I seek You are my all in all Seeking You as a precious jewel Lord, to give up I'd be a fool You are my all in all
Chorus
Jesus, Lamb of God Worthy is Your name Jesus, Lamb of God Worthy is Your name
Verse 2
Taking my sin, my cross, my shame Rising up again I bless Your name You are my all in all When I fall down You pick me up When I am dry You fill my cup You are my all in all
Chorus
Jesus, Lamb of God Worthy is Your name Jesus, Lamb of God Worthy is Your name
Repeat Verses and Chorus

| Re: Songs with a Message... | | [i]I found [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKzytJP_vV4]my favorite version[/url] of the first song that I included in this thread. It is performed by Dallas Holm (who was once David Wilkerson's worship leader). The words of this song are so powerful in their reminder about what truly matters in this short life! [/i]
[b]I'd Rather Have Jesus[/b] by George Beverly Shea
I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold I'd rather have him than have riches untold I'd rather have Jesus than houses or land I'd rather be led by his nail scared hands.
Than to be a king of a vast domain Or be held in sin's dread sway I'd rather have Jesus than anything This world affords today.
:-)

| Re: | | Chris, I do not know how old this song is but I would guess it is of recent origin...anyways, I think it is among the most beautiful ones I have learned in recent years.
Thanks for posting this...

| The Blood is Still There (EDIT) | | I am cleaning so to make the job less boring I will listen to music. I just got done listening to the Kevin Spencer family sing this song..very meaningful.
Enjoy and be blessed.
ginnyrose *********************************************** [b]The Blood Is Still There[/b]
by Gary Duty
One dark night d own in Egypt, a fearful time had come, for one little Hebrew boy, who was his father's first born son.
Now with the angel of death passing low, it was hard to fall asleep. But one little lamb stood in his mind, as he laid there counting sheep.
He wondered why the young lamb had to die, why his blood was on the door. Through the wind and rain it had still remained. But he wanted to be sure.
So he called out to his earthly Father, with a trembling voice so scared. Crying "Father will you please look and see, if the blood is still there?"
He said, son now don't you worry, for the blood is there to stay. The winds may blow and the rain may fall, but it just won't wash away.
The blood will stand the raging storm, Its been applied with loving care. Safe, secure, you can rest assured, that the blood is still there.
Looking over all the damage, Satan's storm had left behind. The flood of endless questions, and doubts had filled my mind.
The fear that gripped my troubled soul, brought me back to my knees in prayer. Crying "Father will you please look and see, if the blood is still there?"
He said, son now don't you worry, for the blood is there to stay. The winds may blow and the rain may fall, but it just won't wash away.
The blood will stand the raging storm, Its been applied with loving care. Safe, secure, you can rest assured, that the blood is still there.
Safe, secure, you can rest assured, that the blood is still there.
