My Two Cents

Hello Welcome to my blog!

God is wanting you to seek His face and not His hands!

God longs to reveal Himself to you.
Desire a closer relationship with the Creator and not His creations.
My prayer is that something I post here will cause you to have that desire, to put a hunger in you that only Jesus can fill. He is waiting.....

Be blessed in Jesus name!

Thank you for coming and hurry back. The door is always open and I'll leave the light on for you!

Disclaimer: I don't have to agree with the way you believe, what you say or how you worship in order for me to love you. And about anything I might say here or what anyone else may say, my advice to you is eat the meat and spit out the bones!

Here are some songs with U Tube codes and lyrics that might help you with the Sing A Longs.
I have copied and pasted these into Microsoft Word and saved them in a folder in My Documents. Some of you might want to do the same.

Sin Died Here
The Hinsons
v=AUwFWiuClrM

That old alter can really talk
oh but it won't reveal
heaven forgot what hell never will
it just sits there in the silence
and speaks loud through their tears
says their new life began
when sin died here.

(chorus)
Somewhere between that old pulpit and the pew
a heart so untrue was made spotless, brand new
that old alter is a tombstone and the epitaph’s clear
it says grace fought this battle and sin died here


It just listened as the drunkard
staggered in and fell down,
heard the heartache that come from
the dark side of town
but the sound that’s most familiar
is when the angels all cheered
you know the cross won again
when sin died here.

(chorus)
Somewhere between that old pulpit and the pew
a heart so untrue was made spotless, brand new
that old alter is a tombstone and the epitaph's clear
it says grace fought this battle and sin died here

that old alter is a tombstone and the epitaph’s clear
it says grace fought this battle and sin died here

He Called My Name
Michael Combs
v=8PqCyCYw5us

They asked ole Lazarus
Can you explain
They said how can a man
Be so dead then live again
Why that’s just insane
But ole Lazarus said boys (hey boys)
I heard a voice,
It spoke life to me
And ole death set free
When He called my name (amen)
He called my name
And I heard His voice
He called my name
And I made my choice
And I knew my life
Would never be the same
After He called, He called my name
They asked Zacchaeus
Can you tell us about Jesus
He said I was in a sycamore tree
I just climbed up to see
The Lord pass my way
Oh but the Savior called out ….Zacchaeus
Today I stay at your house
He said so I took Him in
And He forgave all my sins
He called my name (oh yes He did)
He called my name
And I heard His voice
He called my name
And I made my choice
And I knew my life
Would never be the same
After He called, He called my name
Oh thank God He called (hmmm hmmm)
He called my name
He called my name

He's In The House
Michael Combs
v=qcpLeZDfIoI

A little girl was lying there
People all were weeping
They just laughed at Jesus when He said she's only sleeping
But as He took her by the hand
And she began to live again
Some began to praise the Lord
Some began to say

He's in the house
Death has to flee
Now there is light
Where darkness used to be
Now there is hope
There's no more doubt
Oohooh ooh Cause He's in the house

You know what I realized one day
And you probably realized it too
We were like that little girl
Dead in all ours sins
Till Jesus touched this heart of mine
And gave me life again
I am just a house of clay
But ever since that blessed day
There's a light that shines in me
So all the world can see

He's in the house
Oh yeah..now there is light
Where darkness used to be
Now I have hope
There's no more doubt
Praise His name
Prise His name
He's in the house

Death had to flee
Now there is light
Where darkness used to be

Now I have hope
There's no more doubt
Praise His name
He's in the house
He's in the house
He's in the house!

Let My Words Be Few

Phillips, Craig & Dean
zUAQdd2ELuE

You are God in heaven
And here am I on earth,
So I'll let my words be few-
Jesus I am so in love with You.

And I'll stand in awe of You,
Yes I'll stand in awe of You,
And I'll let my words be few-
Jesus I am so in love with You.

The simplest of all love songs
I want to bring to You,
So I'll let my words be few-
Jesus I am so in love with You.

Lord prepare me
To be a sanctuary
Pure and holy
Tried and true

With Your Holy Spirit

I'll do it all
For You

Sea Walker
The Freemans
v=yLSLrSa3YsU

WHEN I GO TO SEE ST. PETER ON THAT FAR AND DISTANT SHORE.
AND I PROVE THE THINGS IN LIFE THAT MAKE ME SAVED,
THERE'LL BE SOMEONE THERE TO MEET ME
AND TO GREET ME AT THE DOOR
OPEN WIDE THOSE PEARLY GATES I'M COMING IN.

CHORUS
TO SEE THAT SEA WALKER, THAT BLIND MAN HEALER,
THAT LEPER CLEANSING MAN FROM GALILEE,

THE ONE WHO SET ME FREE
TAKE MY HAND AND FOLLOW ME,
TAKE MY HAND, TAKE MY HAND.
TAKE MY HAND AND FOLLOW ME.

ALL MY FRIENDS AND MY RELATIONS
WILL BE WAITING THERE I KNOW
AND MY DEAR, OLE' MOTHER SHE'LL BE WAITING TOO.
GETTING READY FOR OVER YONDER
HOPE I MAKE IT PASS THE DOOR
OPEN WIDE THE PEARLY GATES I'M GOING THRU.

CHORUS

TO SEE THAT SEA WALKER, THAT BLIND MAN HEALER,

The Reason That I'm Standing
The Crabb Family
f6inf3Z1R-I

I have stood for the Gospel
When it seemed I stood alone
And through the heartaches and frustration
I kept my focus on the Throne
So many times I have recalled
The Savior's words so true
"If you won't be ashamed of me
Then I won't be of you"

So I'll proudly stand until I see
The face of the One who gave
Everything for me

Chorus:
When the reason that I'm standing
Stands in front of me
Every battle that I've fought
Will fade from memory
I'll bow before His mighty throne
And fall down on my knees
When the reason that I'm standing
Stands in front of me

The road has not been easy
At times I lost my way
So often I have stumbled
Searching for the light of day
Circumstances all around me
I thought I'd surely fall
When the whispering of doubt and fear
Told me "You will lose it all"

But He kept me with His Amazing Grace
And someday soon I'll have the chance
To thank Him face to face

Chorus

We will join the millions
Every kindred tongue and race
Every of God that day
Will look upon His face
With the heroes and the martyrs
Who died on the pagan sword
We'll all stand together
And declare, "JESUS IS LORD"

Chorus 2x

When the reason that I'm standi--ing
Stands in front of me

Too Much To Gain To Lose
Dottie Rambo with help from the Martins
v=mJdeGmlRa6A

Too many miles behind me
Too many trials are through
And too many tears help me remember
There's just too much to gain to lose.

Chorus
Too many sunsets lie behind the mountain
Too many rivers my feet have walked through
Too many treasures are waiting over yonder
There's just too much to gain to lose.

I've crossed the hot burning desert
I've struggled the right road to choose
But somewhere up ahead there's cool clear water
And defeat is one word I'll never use.

Chorus
Too many sunsets lie behind the mountain
Too many rivers my feet have walked through
Too many treasures are waiting over yonder
There's just too much to gain to lose

repeat the chorus

Oh, too many treasures are waiting over yonder
There's too much to gain to lose!

I'm Going To A City
Michael Combs

I’m going to a city, I’m on my way
One of these days I’ll hear a shout
And the Lord gonna’ take me out
Going to a city some glad day

And praise Him for eternity

If That Isn't Love
Dottie Rambo
v=kcLbDCwbZ1Y
This was recorded from a TBN Praise A Thon
(telethon) back in 1983.

He left the splendor of heaven,
Knowing His destiny,
Was the lonely hill of Golgatha,
There to lay down His life for me.

If that isn’t love;
The ocean is dry,
There’s no stars in the sky,
And the sparrow can’t fly.
If that isn’t love;
Then heaven’s a myth,
There’s no feeling like this,
If that isn’t love!

Even in death He remembered,
The thief hanging by His side;
There He spoke with love and compassion,
Then He took him to paradise.

If that isn’t love;
The ocean is dry,
There’s no stars in the sky,
And the sparrow can’t fly.
If that isn’t love;
Then heaven’s a myth,
There’s no feeling like this,
If that isn’t love!

Living Water
Bob Carlisle
v=HQD0e0i1ddU

I feel your touch,
I can feel your heart
As I'm lying here alone in the dark
I hear your voice gently say "come to me”
I long for your love as the earth longs for the rainfall
I’m weary Lord I’ve wondered this dessert too long

CHORUS
So come Living Water flow through me like a river
My heart’s been thirsting so long
Flood through my soul and pour out your mercy
Come Living Water fill me

Lord so many times you’ve called my name
And I’ve turned my face the other way
Yet before I even saw the womb you love me
How can I be so blind when I alone have created my darkness
Forgive me Lord and wash me clean again

One Blessed Man
Michael Combs
v=vXEzQ3JgyMA&NR=1

I've got a house
To keep me warm
And to shelter
Me from storms
Oh I am
One blessed man

I've got a little wife
Who holds me tight
And she prays for me
Every night
Oh I am,
One blessed man

These are the few
Of the blessings
That I have known
If I had time
I could go on and on

I've got
And grand
And I don't know
What I ever did
To be what I am
I'm one blessed man

I've got Jesus in my heart
And I know
He Won't depart
Yes I am
One blessed man
Yes I am, yes I am

These are the few
Of the blessings
That I have known
If I had time
I could go on and on

Now if someone
Says to you
Who's that man
What does he do
Just tell them I am
One blessed man

That's who I am
A one blessed man

Tears Will Never Stain The Streets Of That City
Dottie Rambo with The Crabb Family
v=efYN0_2JsKQ

If I could count all the tears that have fallen
They would seem like an ocean to me
And if my heart were a window that you could look through
All the pain and scars you would see

Chorus

But tears will never stain the streets of that city
No wreaths of death on my mansion door
Teardrops aren’t welcome beyond the gates of glory
Cause the heart will never break anymore

Well I’ve never met one man without sorrow
Never looked into eyes with no pain
But there’s a land where death has no victory
And songs of joy are the only songs they sing

Repeat Chorus

Through The Fire
The Crabb Family/The Gaithers
PiFk_YYnJYk

So many times I've questioned certain circumstances
Or things I could not understand
Many times in trials, weakness blurs my vision
And my frustrations get so out of hand
It's then I am reminded I've never been forsaken
I've never had to stand the test alone
As I look at all the victories, the Spirit rises up in me
It's through the fire my weakness is made strong.

And He never promised the cross would not get heavy
And the hill would not be hard to climb
He never offered victory without fighting
But He said help would always come in time
Just remember when you're standing in the valley
Of decision and the adversary says give in
Just hold on, our Lord will show up
And He will take you through the fire again.

I know within myself that I would surely perish
But if I trust the hand of God, He'll shield the flames again.

And He never promised the cross would not get heavy
And the hill would not be hard to climb
Just hold on, our Lord will show up
And He will take you through the fire again
Just hold on, our Lord will show up
And He will take you through the fire again...

Worthy Is The Lamb.....ZajkWr3QbTY

Thank you for the cross Lord
Thank you for the price You paid
Bearing all my sin and shame
In love You came
And gave amazing grace

Thank you for this love Lord
Thank you for the nail pierced hands
Washed me in Your cleansing flow
Now all I know

Cry Out To Jesus.....JmVxRl5bc4Y

To everyone who's lost someone they love
Long before it was their time
You feel like the days you had were not enough
when you said goodbye

And to all of the people with burdens and pains
Keeping you back from your life
You believe that there's nothing and there is no one
Who can make it right

Chorus

There is hope for the helpless
Rest for the weary
Love for the broken heart
There is grace and forgiveness
Mercy and healing
He'll meet you wherever you are
Cry out to Jesus, Cry out to Jesus

For the marriage that's struggling just to hang on
They lost all of their faith and love
They've done all they can to make it right again
Still it's not enough

For the ones who can't break the addictions and chains
You try to give up but you come back again
Just remember that you're not alone in your shame
And your suffering

Chorus

When your lonely (when you're lonely)
And it feels like the whole world is falling on you
You just reach out, you just cry out to Jesus
Cry to Jesus

To the widow who suffers from being alone
Wiping the tears from her eyes
For the around the world without a home
Say a prayer tonight

Chorus

Word Of God Speak.....4JK_6osCH74

I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay
The last thing I need is to be heard
But to hear what You would say

[CHORUS]
Word of God speak
Would You pour down like rain
Washing my eyes to see
Your majesty
To be still and know
That You're in this place
Please let me stay and rest
In Your holiness
Word of God speak

I'm finding myself in the midst of You
Beyond the music, beyond the noise
All that I need is to be with You
And in the quiet hear Your voice

[REPEAT CHORUS 2x]

I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay

Amazing Grace.....UvYIjFtPQEk&

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

Sweet Holy Spirit.....vlrn7mVqrw

The Bible it tells us in God's word so true
The sweet Holy Spirit is promised to you
It sat upon Jesus in the form of a dove
When John was baptizing God's Dearly Beloved

(chorus)
Sweet Holy Spirit I'm down on my knees
I am low in the valley, I am so weak you see
I know I can make it for I trust in thee
The sweet Holy Spirit is falling on me

Sweet Holy Spirit, Oh how I love thee
For being a comfort so many times
And for strengthening me
For I could not make it across life's troubled sea
If the sweet Holy Spirit should ever leave me

(chorus)

So sweet Holy Spirit, don't ever leave me

Look For Me.... words and music by Rusty Goodman (1982)...zjbQyh8mBCE

Verse 1
When you finally make your entrance to that city
Of jasper walls and bright golden avenue;
As you behold all its beauty and its splendor,
Remember there's just one request I make of you .

Chorus
Look for me for I will be here, too.
I realize when you arrive, there will be so much to view;
After you've been there ten thousand years, a million, maybe two,
Look for me, for I will be there, too.

Verse 2
As you go down your list of firsts, there's no question,
You'll want to see our loved ones waiting there for you;
And when you feel you've shared your story with the last one
That wants to hear you tell just how you made it through,

Chorus
Look for me for I will be there too
I realize when you arrive there will be so much to view
After you've been there ten thousand years, a million, maybe two,
Look for me for I will be there too.

Look for me for I will be there too
I will be there to

The Lighthouse.....kur97DNutpE

There's a lighthouse on a hillside
That overlooks life's sea
When I'm tossed, it sends out
A light that I might see
And the light that shines in darkness now
Will safely lead me thru the night
If it wasn't for The Lighthouse
My ship would sail no more.

cho: And I thank God for The Lighthouse
Well, I owe my life to Him
For Jesus is The Lighthouse
And from the rocks I've seen
He has shown a light all around me
That I might clearly see
If it wasn't for The Lighthouse
Tell me where would this ship be.

Ev'rybody that lives about me
They said tear that lighthouse down
'Cause the big ships they don't sail this way anymore
There's no use of it standing 'round
Then my mind goes back to that stormy night
When just in time, I saw that light
Yes that light from that old lighthouse
That stands up there on the hill.

cho:

He has shown a light all around me
That I could clearly see
If it wasn't for The Lighthouse
Tell me where would this ship be.

Just A Closer Walk With Thee.....4rpAd_paPLA

Just a closer walk with Thee,
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea,
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

I am weak, but Thou art strong;
Jesus, keep me from all wrong;
I’ll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.

Through this world of toil and snares,
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.

When my feeble life is o’er,
Time for me will be no more;
Guide me gently, safely o’er
To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.

You'll Never Walk Alone.....mN8oN8I3lrk

When you walk through a storm
Keep your chin up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At he end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.

Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never walk alone.

You Raise Me Up.....6VqRlO3wa1A

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You Raise Me Up.....6VqRlO3wa1A

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

There Is A Fountain.....aAYWWsaXZeg

There is a fountain filled with blood,
Drawn from Immanuel’s veins,
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains.
The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in His day;
And there have I, though vile as he,
Washed all my sins away.
Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its pow’r,
Till all the ransomed church of God
Are safe, to sin no more.
E’er since by faith I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.
When this poor, lisping, stamm’ring tongue
Lies silent in the grave,
Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I’ll sing Thy pow’r to save.

God Sent an Angel.....xZYfX2OdtMA

I was troubled in my mind and had reached my darkest time
When my life and my spirit was low.
I walked out on a span of the bridge made by man
And looked down at the water so cold.
I stood shivering there on the edge of despair,
Knowing well I was going to fall
With the end drawing near I had no mortal fear
For I had never known Him at all.

Chorus:
But God sent an angel that only my eyes could see.
He was dressed all in white and surrounded by light.
Oh, thank God for the love shown to me.

For the rest of my days, God will show me the way
Since His messenger entered my life.
I'm a part of His plan for salvation to man,
As I walk through this circle of life.
Never more will I doubt what my life's all about
And no more will I suffer despair.
I've got proof He's alive, for He let me survive
And I know He's made a home for me there.

Who Am I v=bkQ4qurJOvU

When I think of how He came so far from glory
Came to dwell among the lowly such as I
To suffer shame and such disgrace
On Mount Calvary take my place
Then I ask myself this question
Who am I?
Who am I that The King would bleed and die for
Who am I that He would pray not my will, Thine Lord
The answer I may never know
Why He ever loved me so
And to an old rugged cross He'd go

When I'm reminded of His words
I'll leave Him never
If you'll be true I'll give to you life forever
Oh I wonder what I could have done
To deserve God's only
To fight my battles until they're all won
For who am I?
Who am I that The King would bleed and die for
Who am I that He would pray not my will, Thy Lord
The answer I may never know
Why He ever loved me so
And to an old rugged cross He'd go
For who am I?
And to an old rugged cross He'd go for, who am I?
For who am I?

Sweet Beulah Land John Starnes v=qhdNUQrZ9uw

SWEET BEULAH LAND
Music and words
by Squire E. Parsons, Jr., 1979

Verse 1:
I'm kind of homesick for a country
To which I've never been before;
No sad goodbyes will ever be spoken,
And time won't matter any more.

Chorus:
Beulah land ... I'm longing for you,
And, some day, on thee I'll stand;
There my home shall be eternal.
Beulah land ... sweet Beulah land.

Verse 2:
I'm looking now across the river
Where my faith will end in sight;
There's just a few more days to labor,
And then I'll take my heavenly flight.

Chorus:
Beulah land ... I'm longing for you,
And, some day, on thee I'll stand;
There my home shall be eternal.
Beulah land ... sweet Beulah land.

I Can't Even Walk...by Jesse Dixon...v=Bv6rLqdNDBc

1. I thought that number one would surely be me,
I thought I could be what I wanted to be.
I thought I could build on life's sinking sand
But I can't even walk without You holding my hand.

2. I thought I could do a lot on my own.
I thought I could make it all alone.
I thought of myself as a mighty big man,
But I can't even walk without You holding my hand.

Chorus:

I can't even walk without You holding my hand.
The mountain is too high and the valley is too wide.
Down on my knees, I learned how to stand.
Because I can't even walk without You holding my hand.
Can't even walk without You holding my hand

Take My Hand... Elvis Presley...v=7RanXgi3uyY

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I am tired, I’m weak, I am worn
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

When my way grows drear precious Lord linger near
When my life is almost gone
Hear my cry, hear my call
Hold my hand lest I fall
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

When the darkness appears and the night draws near
And the day is past and gone
At the river I stand
Guide my feet, hold my hand
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I'm tired, I’m weak, I’m worn
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

Trophy Of Grace.....v=3uKWOBtfr5U

VERSE ONE
If you had known me then the way I was before
Then you’d understand why I can’t hold back the tears
Now my life is so different since I gave it to the Lord
And I want to give Him glory while I’m here
I stand before you knowing that its only by His grace
That I am just what I am today

CHORUS
I’m a trophy of grace
A display of His love
I’m part of the results from
The old rugged cross
That was stained with His precious blood
Though I’ll never understand why
He died in my place
Just look at me today
Because I can say
I’m a trophy of grace

VERSE TWO
Though there is no way I can repay His love
And the mercy He’s shown is more than life to me
There’s nothing I can do or say that would be enough
To pay the debt of sin He paid for me
My life’s a testimony of His mercy, love and grace
And one day I will thank Him, face to face

chorus

I’m a trophy of grace
A display of His love
I’m part of the results from
The old rugged cross
That was stained with His precious blood
Though I’ll never understand why
He died in my place
Just look at me today
Because I can say
I’m a trophy of grace

Do You Know How It Feels....The McKameys.....v=F-ZZMr7_vy4

Do you know how it feels when your cold heart has melted
And tears started flowing the moment you felt it
Do you know how it feels to know you’ve been changed
And it seems that the whole world has been rearranged
Do you know how it feels wherever you roam
You still get a feeling you’re not at home
Knowing heaven is real, tell me do you know how it feels.

Then how does it feel to know you’re a of the king
Your heavenly father, He owns everything, how does it feel
To know you are loved, by the One who created the stars up above
How does it feel to know your alright,
when you lay your head on your pillow each night
And know that it's real ain't it good to know how it feels
Ain't it good to know how it feels

Then how does it feel to know you’re a of the king
Your heavenly father, He owns everything, how does it feel
To know you are loved, by the One who created the stars up above
How does it feel to know your alright,
When you lay your head on your pillow each night
And know that it's real ain't it good to know how it feels
Ain't it good to know how it feels
Ain't it good to know how it feels

God On The Mountain.... The McKameys.... v=UwmvUxEAP3M

Life is easy, when you're up on the mountain
And you've got peace of mind
Like you've never known
But then things change and you're down in the valley
Don't lose faith for your never alone

[Chorus]

For the God on the mountain is still God in the valley
When things go wrong He'll make them right
And the God of the good times, is still God in the bad times
And the God of the day is still God in the night

V. 2

You talk of faith when you're up on the mountain
Oh, but the talk comes so easy
When life's at its best
But its down in the valley of trials and temptations
That's when faith is really put to the test

Repeat Chorus 2 times and then:

And the God of the day is still God of the night

Tell Me That Story.....PY3PsuU7Kc0

I love the Lord, and I love His word
And I know that He died for my sin
There still are times in this life of mine
I need to hear it all again
How that Jesus came down to men
Shed His blood and died for them
Tell me how He rose again

(chorus)
Tell me that story
How the King of all glory
Laid down His life for me
It's a story so precious
And oh how it blesses
I think i want to hear it all again
Tell me that story

Gods only begotten
Is sometimes forgotten
When things seem to go our way
More and more I'm finding
Sometimes we need reminding
Of what He did on that day
How He suffered the shame and the agony
Endured the cross and humility
And all because He loves someone like me

(chorus)

Cause Jesus Said So....Michael Combs.... utRdpryxqNs

There was a storm out on the sea
One dark night
Strong winds blow’d
Waves out of control
They thought they would die
But the Master arose
And when He spoke
The storm it laid low
Cause Jesus said so
Cause Jesus said so

Woe woe oo
That night hey
There was a man placed in a tomb
A man Jesus loved
Now his family cried
Cause this man had died
They’d all given up
But then Jesus appeared
He said Lazarus come here
That dead man arose
Cause Jesus said so
Cause Jesus said so

But it proved the pages
Of the Word of God we see
Time after time
When it comes to my Jesus
Whatever He says will be

There was a man
Nailed to a tree
A long time ago
He was laid in a grave
They all just walked away
Cause they they didn’t know
That in three days He’d arise
Should have been no surprise
It had to be so
Cause Jesus said so
Cause Jesus said so

Cause Jesus said so oh oh
Jesus said so
Yea yea yea yea
Cause Jesus said so
Jesus said so
Oh oh oh yea yea yea
Jesus said so
Oh oh

If We Are The Body....Casting Crowns....kAWeHo8E70E

It's crowded in worship today
As she slips in
Trying to fade into the faces
The girls' teasing laughter is carrying farther than they know
Farther than they know

CHORUS
But if we are the Body
Why aren't His arms reaching
Why aren't His hands healing
Why aren't His words teaching
And if we are the Body
Why aren't His feet going
Why is His love not showing them there is a way
There is a way

A traveler is far away from home
He sheds his coat
And quietly sinks into the back row
The weight of their judgmental glances tells him that his chances
Are better out on the road

CHORUS
But if we are the Body
Why aren't His arms reaching
Why aren't His hands healing
Why aren't His words teaching
And if we are the Body
Why aren't His feet going
Why is His love not showing them there is a way

Jesus paid much too high a price
For us to pick and choose who should come
And we are the Body of Christ

Chorus (2x)
If we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching
Why aren't His hands healing
Why aren't His words teaching
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going
Why is His love not showing them there is a way

Jesus is the way

Friends are Quiet Angels.....v=7X7d7Ul6PmI

Friends are quiet angels
Who lift us to our feet
When our wings have trouble remembering how to fly
They stand by us and give us
the strength to try

Friends are quiet angels
Who somehow make you see
The light that's in the darkness
before the dawn
And all at once your journey’s not so long

But it's the laughter and the fun
Sometimes the feeling that we're one
All the tears we cry together you and I
That will keep us heart to heart
as time goes by

Friends are quiet angels
Who fill your life with grace
Thrilled to share your joy
when a dream comes true
And on this special day
I'm blessed 'cause I can say
I've found a quiet angel
You're a special angel
I found a quiet angel in you.

Two Winning Hands
v=85iBj99Z6vA

Some lawyers can win
And some doctors can heal
Your ole banker can lend
Til all your pockets are filled
But if yours is the case
Of the sin stricken soul
For the problem you face
There's only one place to go

Just climb up that mountain
Where still springs the fountain
That sparkeling crimson
Called Calvary's flood
That same Jesus you've heard of
Can take a black heart without love
Wash it in red blood
And make it whiter than snow

Don't gamble on life
With all your luck and your skills
Cause ya can't play the cards
Ole man death's gonna deal
The bible has said
Who the loser's gonna be
There's only two winning hands
And they were nailed to a tree

(repeat chorus)

If this helps and you like what I've done, I'll be adding more.
Y'all Come!

The Potter's House
Posted:Jan 17, 2011 9:01 am
Last Updated:Jan 18, 2011 2:27 pm

“This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD: “Go down to the potter’s house and there I will give you My message.” So I went down to the potter’s house, and I saw Him working at the wheel. But the pot He was shaping from the clay was marred in His hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to Him”.
(Jeremiah 18:1 NIV)

I think back to the day when Jesus saved me. I remember the agony I felt as I cried out to Him from the shattered ash heap of my life. I was just a broken clay vessel when the Lord, the Master Potter, first found me. In biblical times, all the shattered vessels were thrown onto a garbage dump outside the village know as the “potter’s field”. This field represents the world. It’s the place where broken lives are thrown after they’ve become worn out and abused, discarded and rejected by the world.

Even though I was a useless clay vessel and my hopes and dreams had been destroyed, He came for me and carried me into the Potter’s house. What wonder and awe filled my being when I first realized that He really loved me! Oh how I longed to stay in His arms and bask in His presence! Just a glance from His eyes ravished my heart.

With great compassion He tenderly said, “I know you. Your substance is not hidden from Me, for you were fearfully and wonderfully made. When you were in your mother’s womb, you were My chosen instrument and I have a destiny and calling for you.” (Psalm 139:14-16) Then, with His own-scarred hands, He reached into the depths of my heart saying, “But first, I will remove all the rocks, thistles, thorns and foreign matter, all the debris you’ve picked up on the highway of life.”

Then He brought His stone of Unrelenting Love carefully down upon me, cracking open my vessel to a place where all I could do was lay in a heap of dust before Him. I was confused because I thought there would be no more pain after I entered His house! Surely, if He loved me as much as He said He did, He wouldn’t allow any more pain to come my way! After all, I'd been through so much already!

Next, He carefully places my clay dust in a large bin and pours the clear, living water that proceeds from the throne of God over me. Worship and the Word fill my being and bring soothing refreshment to my thirsty soul. After awhile I realize this crushing is not for my destruction as it had been in the past. The journey from Salvation to Transformation has begun!

The Lord then scoops up my moistened clay with His mighty hands and places me on the Potter’s wheel. I hear His promise: “I have measured you: I know your portion; I know the destiny I have for you. For even though the enemy would want to kill you, I tell you, I have a mission and a calling for your life.”

He begins to center me on the wheel. Slowly, His gentle hands go down into the very depths of who I am as He pulls up the walls of my new vessel.

*foot note
I saw this on another site and it was written in the third party I took it (with the author's permission), revised it and made it personal because it was so me.

We're all cracked pots. Some more broken than others but all have been broken at one time or the other and have felt the gentle hands of the Potter lovingly put back us back together, one piece at a time. And if we will allow it, the Lord will use our flaws to grace His Father's table.

‎God, help me to always do what is right, whatever the consequences may be. May I desire Your blessing over anything else, even when I am misunderstood or falsely accused. And God, may I at all times seek only Your approval, man's is not needed! If I have to stand alone, I will stand! But I am never alone for Thou art with me! And there is no other place I long to be than in Your presence. Promise You'll never take Your Holy Spirit from me for I can't even walk without You holding my hand!
In Your most precious and holy name, Jesus,
Amen

The Good Shepherd

There is a story going around, it suggests that a shepherd will break the legs of a sheep that wanders away or strays from the flock. The story suggests that the shepherd will break the leg, splint it up and then carry the sheep on his shoulders until the sheep is healed. According to this story while being carried the sheep will become dependent on and get to know the shepherd and thus will follow him and not stray again. This story is not biblically sound! Some have chosen to use that theory and the following scripture to suggest that the Lord, the Good Shepherd would do the same to His sheep. ”For He maketh sore, and bindeth up: He woundeth, and His hands make whole.” (Job 5 vs 18 ) The meaning of this verse is, that afflictions come from God, and that He only can support, comfort, and restore. Healing is what He does best; and all the comfort we need, and for to whom we can look, must be in, from and to Him. He is our Comforter! He is our Healer! He is our Deliverer! Knowing the story of Job and what was really going on, we know the truth! Job was being tested by the enemy and the Lord allowed it because He believed in the faith and the patience of His servant Job. “And the LORD said unto satan, hast thou considered My servant Job, that [there is] none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?” (Job 1 vs 18 ) Although I understand the intent of this analogy, it has some major flaws! This leg breaking theory may be what a bad shepherd might do but not what a Good Shepherd would do when a sheep wanders according to the Word of God! “What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off.” (Matthew 18 vs 12,13) Jesus is the Good Shepherd! John 10:11 says, “"I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.” And. John 10 vs 14 says, “"I am the Good Shepherd; I know My sheep and My sheep know Me.” This scripture tells us He knows His sheep and His sheep know Him. He doesn’t have to break their legs to get them to follow Him, they choose to follow Him! Our Shepherd is a good shepherd! Those that use what Job said to prove their leg breaking theory forgot what Job said just before the verse they like to use to show our Lord as a leg breaking Shepherd. "Behold, how happy is the man whom God reproves, So do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.” (Job 5 vs 17) Of course He will correct us as any good parent would but our Lord wants us to choose to follow Him, not be forced to. And what good parent would injure their to make them submit? He wants us to follow Him because we love Him not because we’re afraid of Him. He gave us a will to choose to follow Him...or not. The choice is ours and always has been. So if we find our Good Shepherd carrying us it’s because of something we did to ourselves and He carries us while we heal or are too weak to stand or walk on our own.

“He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.” (Isaiah 40 vs 11)

One And Ninety Nine

"What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost." (Matthew 18 vs 12-14, NIV)

♪♫ There were ninety and nine that safely lay
In the shelter of the fold.
But one was out on the hills away,
Far off from the gates of gold.
Away on the mountains wild and bare.
Away from the tender Shepherd’s care.
Away from the tender Shepherd's care. ♪♫

And what did the Shepherd do? He left the ninety and nine and went after the one that strayed away. And so we might ask…

♪♫ "Lord, Thou hast here Thy ninety and nine;
Are they not enough for Thee?"
But the Shepherd made answer: "This of Mine
Has wandered away from Me;
And although the road be rough and steep,
I go to the desert to find My sheep,
I go to the desert to find My sheep ♪♫

♪♫ But none of the ransomed ever knew
How deep were the waters crossed;
Nor how dark was the night the Lord passed through
Ere He found His sheep that was lost.
Out in the desert He heard its cry,
Sick and helpless and ready to die;
Sick and helpless and ready to die ♪♫

We don’t know what Jesus goes through to bring back a lost soul but we know He does. There is no way He’ll leave one of His flock out in the darkness to fend for themselves. Open prey to the wolves and predators that roam the darkness. So what do you think He would require of us? If we know someone who has strayed from the flock, what do you think Jesus would have us do? I think He would want us to do whatever we could to bring that one back into the fold, to reach out a hand and gently lead them home.

♪♫ "Lord, whence are those blood drops all the way
That mark out the mountain's track?"
"They were shed for one who had gone astray
Ere the Shepherd could bring him back."
"Lord, whence are Thy hands so rent and torn?"
"They are pierced tonight by many a thorn;
They are pierced tonight by many a thorn." ♪♫

And if they became wounded while roaming the dark we need to lift them up out of the blood and the dirt, clean them and bind their wounds and gently carry them back to the Shepherd. We are our brother’s keeper! We should never leave a brother/ sister wandering and lost in the darkness? Reach out to the lost, the One! No matter how deep the waters or dark the night, we must seek the lost and bring them back! And then we can rejoice with the angels in Heaven and the Good Shepherd and sing……..

♪♫ And all through the mountains, thunder riven
And up from the rocky steep,
There arose a glad cry to the gate of Heaven,
"Rejoice! I have found My sheep!"
And the angels echoed around the throne,
"Rejoice, for the Lord brings back His own!
Rejoice, for the Lord brings back His own!" ♪♫
