Songs on your mind 7

[The Purple Fuzzy]

It's time for letting go
All of our "if onlies"
Cause we don't have a time machine

And even if we did
Would we really want to use it
Would we really want to go change everything

Cause we are who and where and what we are for now
And this is the only moment we can do anything about

So breathe it in and breathe it out
And listen to your heartbeat
There's a wonder in the here and now
It's right there in front of you
And I don't want you to miss the miracle of the moment

There's only One who knows
What's really out there waiting
And all the moments yet to be
And all we need to know
Is He's out there waiting
To Him the future's history

And He has given us a treasure called right now
And this is the only moment we can do anything about

So breathe it in and breathe it out
And listen to your heartbeat
There's a wonder in the here and now
It's right there in front of you
And I don't want you to miss the miracle of the moment

And if it brings you tears
Then taste them as they fall
Let them soften your heart

And if it brings you laughter
Then throw your head back
And let it go
Let it go, yeah
You gotta let it go

And listen to your heartbeat

And breathe it in and breathe it out
And listen to your heartbeat
There's a wonder in the here and now
It's right there in front of you
And I don't want you to miss the miracle of the moment

And breathe it in and breathe it out
And listen to your heartbeat
There's a wonder in the here and now
It's right there in front of you
And I don't want you to miss the miracle of the moment

Somebody listen
I'm a voice in the distance crying
Come see about me
I am a stranger
In a world filled with anger
Come see about me

I'm getting weary
Trying to carry this load
All by myself
I'm real close to falling
Can't you hear me calling?
I need somebody's help

I am a young one
Growing wild across this land
Come see about me
I'm four score and twenty
And I ain't got anybody
Come see about me

I'm somebody's children
Alone and forsaken
A wave that's tossed at sea
I'm right here behind you
I'm all around you
So slow down, turn around
And you will see

I am your mother
Your sister and your brother
Come see about me
I am a baby
My mother ain't no lady
Come see about me

I am your maker
The giver and the taker

Come see about me

Dancing In The Minefields lyrics


I was nineteen, you were twenty-one
The year we got engaged
Everyone said we were much too young
But we did it anyway

We bought our rings for forty each
From a pawn shop down the road
We made our vows and took the leap
Now fifteen years ago

We went dancing in the minefields
We went sailing in the storm
And it was harder than we dreamed
But I believe that's what the promise is for

"I do" are the two most famous last words
The beginning of the end
But to lose your life for another I've heard
Is a good place to begin
'Cause the only way to find your life
Is to lay your own life down
And I believe it's an easy price
For the life that we have found

And we're dancing in the minefields
We're sailing in the storm
This is harder than we dreamed
But I believe that's what the promise is for

So when I lose my way, find me
When I loose love's chains, bind me
At the end of all my faith, till the end of all my days
When I forget my name, remind me

'Cause we bear the light of the Son of Man
So there's nothing left to fear
So I'll walk with you in the shadowlands
Till the shadows disappear

'Cause he promised not to leave us
And his promises are true
So in the face of all this chaos, baby,
I can dance with you

A mighty love

Cinderella

(I dance with Cinderella, while she is here in my arms....)


Beens stuck in my head on and off today. 

[taco_harvell]

Almighty God, the great I am
Immovable rock, omnipotent, powerful, awesome Lord
Victorious warrior, commanding King of Kings
Mighty conqueror, and the only time
the only time I ever saw Him run

CHORUS:
Was when He ran to me, He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said "My son's come home again"
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice He said,
"Son do you know I still love you?"
He caught me by surprise when God ran

The day I left home I knew I'd broken His heart
And I wondered then if things could ever be the same
Then one night I remembered His love for me
And down that dusty road ahead I could see
It was the only time – it was the only time I ever saw Him run

And then He ran to me, He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said "My son's come home again"
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice He said,
"Son do you know I still love you?"
He caught me by surprise as He brought me to my knees
When God ran – I saw Him run to me

BRIDGE:
I was so ashamed, all alone and so far away
But now I know He's been waiting for this day

I saw Him run to me, He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said "My son's come home again"
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice I felt His love for me again

He ran to me, He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said "My son's come home again"
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice He said, "Son", He called me Son
He said, "Son do you know I still love you?"
He ran to me and then I ran to Him
When God ran


Fixing to lay down and try to catch a few winks before service in the morning. As I lay down this song came to mind. Cant shake the message of it. God left His thrown to run to save someone like me. So thankful for such a loving God!!

CLUMSY
Chris Rice

You thing I'd have it down by now
Been practicin' for thirty years
I should have walked a thousand miles
So what am I still doin' here
Reachin' out for that same old piece of forbidden fruit
I slip and fall and I knock my halo loose
Somebody tell me what's a boy supposed to do?


Chorus
Cause I get so clumsy
I get so foolish
I get so stupid
And then I feel so useless
But you're sayin' You love me
And you're still gonna hold me
And that You wanna be near me
'Cause You're makin' me holy
You're still makin' me holy,    yeah



I'm gonna get it right this time
I'll be strong and I'll make You proud
I've prayed that prayer a thousand times
But the rooster crows and my tears roll down (again)
Then You remind me You made me from the dust
And I can never, no never, be good enough
And that You're not gonna let that come between us

Chorus

Bridge
From where I stand
Your holiness is up so high I can never reach it
My only hope is to call on Jesus

[The Purple Fuzzy]

I like that one.

[Lynx]

I'm thinking about playing that one.

Actually I just ran through it on my virtual "guitar" in my computer with my keyboard.  Sounded good.  Definitely going to make a soundtrack for this one.

[Lynx]

Why is it the ones closest to you are the hardest ones to reach? 


Found her staring at the rain
And asking why it has to hurt so bad
Where's the limit to the pain
Her heart can take before it breaks in half
I wanted to be strong enough to hold her
And show her the way
But she's so far out of reach
And now all I can do is pray

Can You spare an angel tonight
Send a little help from Your side
Cause somebody's lost down here
Let him wing his way through the dark
Carry some of Your love into her heart
Can you spare an angel

She wanders further in the dark
Feels the cold, hears the thunder cry
While the rain keeps pouring down
Her only answer from the lonely sky
And she has no idea how much You love
Or how much You care
So would You choose one of Your best
To be the answer to my prayer

Oh I don't know what else to pray this time
Maybe an angel can lead her lonesome heart away to Jesus' side

Can You spare an angel tonight
Send a little help from Your side
Cause somebody's lost down here
Let him wing his way through the dark
Carry some of Your love into her heart
Can you spare an angel
Spare an angel
Spare an angel

[upcchris]

This is Jesus
In His Glory
King of Heaven
Dying for me
It is finished
He has done it
Death is beaten
Heaven beckons me

That chorus has been stuck in my head for the past couple of days

[IowaSkirtGirl]

"If we are the body, why aren't our arms reaching...why aren't our hands healing?"

This line has been stuck in my head today...

It's from this song

Casting Crowns - If We are the Body.
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mvzFgqgGDI)

[The Purple Fuzzy]

Still wondering why I’m here
Still wrestling with my fear
But oh, He’s up to something
And the farther on I go
I’ve seen enough to know
That I’m, not here for nothing
He’s up to something

[Lynx]

Maybe I'm just in a cynical mood tonight, but an old Hinsons song has been running through my head:

Everybody's getting ready for Christmas again this year
Dad's down at the liquor store, stocking up on Christmas cheer    (can you believe the Hinsons sang this?)
Mom's just glad that the loan went through, big brother's thinking slopes and skis
And little sister's talking bout a shopping mall and sitting on a santa claus knee

It's gonna be a very scary Christmas
Cause it's a frightening thing to know
Our world is held together by
Some ribbons and a bow
And the X that took the place of Christ
On every card you read
Says have a very scary Christmas indeed

Hey y'all!  Bundle up real good cause we're skipping church tonight
Instead we're gonna drive around the neighborhood, checking out the colorful lights
Now we talk about loving Jesus more, and we'd sure like to let Him know
If only He'd take time to stand in line underneath our mistletoe

It's gonna be a very scary Christmas
Cause it's a frightening thing to know
Our world is held together by
Some ribbons and a bow
And the X that took the place of Christ
On every card you read
Says have a very scary Christmas indeed

If we'd just look back to feelings of Christmas of the past
We could have a very merry Christmas at last

Mine isn't in church now, but she was when I was a child.  Thank God I can sing this song.

[Lynx]

For some reason a phrase from an old Lewis Family song keeps running through my head today.

You can worry bout love
You can worry bout hate
You can worry bout the judgment day
But you can't praise God
When you worry that way

[EricShane]

Im a little teapot...

[The Purple Fuzzy]

Create in me a clean heart, O Lord, my God,
and renew a right spirit within me.

Create in me a clean heart, O Lord, my God,
and renew a right spirit within me.

Cast me not away from Thy presence, O Lord;
Take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation, O Lord,
and renew a right spirit within me.

[Mountain Dew]

*sings*....It's raining men! Hallelujah, it's raining men...

[sunlight]

    Down from His glory,
      Ever living story,
    My God and Savior came,
      And Jesus was His name.
    Born in a manger,
      To His own a stranger,
    A Man of sorrows, tears and agony.
        O how I love Him! How I adore Him!
        My breath, my sunshine, my all in all!
        The great Creator became my Savior,
          And all God's fulness dwelleth in Him.
    What condescension,
      Bringing us redemption;
    That in the dead of night,
      Not one faint hope in sight,
    God, gracious, tender,
      Laid aside His splendor,
    Stooping to woo, to win, to save my soul.
    Without reluctance,
      Flesh and blood His substance
    He took the form of man,
      Revealed the hidden plan.
    O glorious myst'ry,
      Sacrifice of Calv'ry,
    And now I know Thou art the great "I AM."

I ran into a friend I used to know
He said "You never hang around the places you used to go
You used to drink and dance and carry on
You loved just getting high from dusk till dawn
You never let the thrills in life go by"
Well I thought for just a minute
Then I gave him this reply

I'm still dancing, but it's not the same
I'm still drinking, but the fountain's been changed
I'm still singing, but I've got a new song
I still get happy and I still carry on
I'm really living!  where I used to be dead
I'm forgiven, from my toes to my head
I'm not dancing for the devil anymore
I'm dancing for the Lord

Just got the soundtrack for it.  First time I heard it (Danny Norman album) I knew I had to sing it.

[The Purple Fuzzy]

Where do I go when there is nobody else to turn to
Who do I talk to when no one wants to listen
Who do I lean on when there's no foundation stable
I go to the rock I know , He's able , I go to the Rock

I go to the rock of my salvation
I go to the stone that the builder's rejected
Run to the mountain and the mountain stands by me
When all around me is sinking sand
On Christ the solid rock I stand
When I need a shelter, when I need a friend
I go to the Rock

Now where do I hide when the storms of life threaten me
Where do I run to when the winds of sorrow blow
Is there a refuge in my times of tribulation
I go to the rock I know, I know He's able

I go to the rock of my salvation
I go to the stone that the builder's rejected
Run to the mountain and the mountain stands by me
When all around me is sinking sand
On Christ the solid rock I stand
When I need a shelter, when I need a friend
I go to the Rock

On Christ the solid rock I stand
When I need a shelter, when I need a friend
I go to the Rock

[Lynx]

Praise the Looooooord
He can work through those who praise Him
Praise the Looooooord
For our God inhabits praise
Praise the Looooooord
And the chains that seem to bind you
Serve only to remind you
That they drop powerless behind you
When you praise Him

[RainbowJingles]

So I'll praise You in this storm, and I will lift my hands...

[Lynx]
