Make my life a prayer to You,
I want to do what You want me to
No empty words, no white lies
No token prayers... no compromise

Keith Green

(he's my fav!...Asleep In The Light is my all time favorite of his...gathering those lyrics now...)

Is this mic on?

Had to manually adjust the file... I hope we didn't break it too <img src="smile.gif" border="0" alt="" />

Yep, the mic was on, and we heard that! <img src="smile.gif" border="0" alt="" /> And now back to our regularly scheduled broadcast...

As I was listening to Asleep in the Light and gathering the correct lyrics, I thought about how words are sometimes beautiful and poetic and can transport you. But then I thought about some other worship songs that are written well, but are made glorious by the sound of the instruments and the emphasis on certain words and the ranges in the artists voices. Sometimes words on a thread just don't do the song justice.

Is there any way (and you will be able to tell my ignorance about bulletin boards by this question) that we could link a clip from the songs that we are referring to if one is available? In asking that I do not have a clue to the complexity of this request... <img src="confused.gif" border="0" alt="" />

just a thought...

they sing this at my church all the time... its very simple, yet very true...
the guys in the band got it from Promise Keepers last year when Salvador played it...


just to be close to You
just to be close to You
just to be close to You
My Lord, is my desire

(repeat several times)

A song we've been singing recently at ccc and recorded by 3rd Day, ties in perfectly with The Case for Christ


"Who is this King of glory,
That pursues me with His love
And haunts me with each hearing
Of His softly spoken words?

My conscience, a reminder of
forgiveness that I need
Who is this King of glory
Who offers it to me?

Who is this King of angels
O blessed Prince of Peace
Revealing things of heaven
And all its mysteries?

My spirit's ever longing
For His grace in which to stand
Who is this King of glory
Son of God and Son of man?

His name is Jesus, precious Jesus
The Lord Almighty, the King of my heart
The King of Glory!

Who is this King of glory
with strength and majesty
And wisdom beyond measure
The gracious King of Kings?

The Lord of earth and heaven
the Creator of all things
Who is this King of Glory?
He's everything to me...

His name is Jesus, precious Jesus
The Lord Almighty, the King of my heart
The King of Glory!"

Pain
The gift nobody longs for,
Still it comes
And somehow leaves us stronger when it's gone
Away
Pray
I try and pray for your will to be done.
But I confess it's never fast enough
For me
It seems
The hardest part is waiting on you
When what I really want
Is just to see your hand move

I want a peace beyond my understanding.
I wanna feel it fall like rain
In the middle of my hurting.
I wanna feel your arms as they surround me.
And let me know that it's okay
To be here in this place
Resting in the peace that only comes
In the wating...

Time...
Time to let it go and just believe.
Trusting in what no one else but You
Can see
Free
Freedom from the fears that close me in
That I can't get beyond where I have been
But then again
The silence doesn't mean that I'm alone
As long as I can hear
I am still your own.

I want a peace beyond my understanding.
I wanna feel it fall like rain
In the middle of my hurting.
I wanna feel your arms as they surround me.
And let me know that it's okay
To be here in this place
Resting in the peace that only comes...

In the waiting...

--Greg Long

Draw me close to You
Never let me go
I'd lay it all down again
To hear you say that I'm your friend.
You are my desire
No one else will do.
No one else could take Your place
To feel the warmth of Your embrace
Help me find a way to bring me back to You.

From the Lifehouse CD, it's called Everything:

Find me here
speak to me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the Light
that is leading me
to the place where
I find peace again
you are the strength
that keeps me walking
you are the hope
that keeps me trusting
You are the life to my soul
you are my purpose
YOu are everything
And how can I
stand here with you
and not be moved by you
would you tell me
how could it be
and better than this
you calm the storms
you give me rest
you hold me in your hands
you won't let me fall
you still my heart
and you take my breath away
would you take me in
would you take me deeper now
cause your all I want
you are all I need
You are everything
Everything</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial">

I came here to post this one, it's GREAT!! <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="" />

We'll be performing this this weekend at CCC if'n you get a chance to drop in for one of the services:

6pm Saturday
9:15 am and 10:30 am Sunday

Yep, I be there this weekend. I absolutely love that song. It is really powerful and has so much passion in the words.

Another good one, though it's a couple of years old, I have just bought the CD and one particular song on it stands out:

Everybody loves a rose
But will you be thankful for the thorns?
Love is easy when your loved
But do you curse another when your alone?

Oh, I give my life to You
so I can gain it back again
Oh, I stand solid while the paradigm is shifting

You say live and let live,
But people are dying everyday
And you say that what I don't know won't hurt me
But if what I do not know is the very thing I need

then I say Humanity seeks the truth
through a shattered window pane
that blocks the view
And plants the seed

So we draw the curtains to close but I say that
the sun can still shine behind a closed mind
And sticks and stones do hurt
When tossed from the tongue of mankind

ooooooohhhhhh i give my life to you so iiiiii can gain it back again ooooooooooohhhhhh i stand solid while the paradigm is shifting paradigm is shifting....away.....away....

I LOVE that song. (check in the newest topic in word on the street...the lyrics will look a tad familiar.) The first time I saw the video was the first time I heard the song...and the guy who is singing puts EVERYTHING into it. Veins popping out of his neck and all...I thought he was gonna cause himself some kind of strain surely...man, he gets into it. Alltogetherseparate ROCKS! I've yet to break down and buy the lifehouse CD, but I think I'm gonna have to fit it in my budget this week... <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="" />

I have been prodical
I have grown so frail
And bent your words to fit the ears of man
Take this my offering
Lord take all I sing
So that Your glory may be heard.

Into You,
Into You
Into You
Lord recieve me I am falling

I took for granted breath.
I do not breathe alone
I was not made to fill my lungs here
Take this my offering,
Oh take all I sing
So that Your glory may be heard.

Into You
Into You
Into You
Lord receive me I am falling,
Into You
Into You
Into You
Lord receive me I am falling...

What is the name of the last song you posted and who is it by?

Me too. and I agree, that guy has an AMAZING voice. Very strong.

<strong>I've yet to break down and buy the lifehouse CD, but I think I'm gonna have to fit it in my budget this week...

The song is called "Into You" (who'da thunk it?) by Circadian Rhythm. The CD as a whole is okay, they do an awesome job of "We are hungry...we are hungry, we are hungry for more of You..." And there is another one really awesome on there the chorus goes something like:

My confindence is bare from lack of trust in you
Broken and afraid
Strip the walls I've made
So I can be renewed

I take my eyes off of myself
And turn them on You.
Cause Your love is more
Than riches or wealth
I wanna live to be more like You
More like You...

And then there is another one that I really love called "Something Glorious".

The rest of the CD pretty much sounds the same to me, but it was well worth it for those songs...

All Together Separate's lead singer IS very tallented. Not too bad in the looks department either! <img src="smile.gif" border="0" alt="" />

I thought I new what's right
I thought I had the answers
I thought I choose the surest road
But that road brought me here
So I put up a fight
And told You how to help me
But as I learn to trust in you
One thing becomes so clear

You know better than I
You know the way.
I'll let go the need to know why
I'll take what answers You supply
You know better than I.

I fianally broke down and bought the Lifehouse CD. Awesome. #9 is my favorite so far...

I'm finding my way back to sanity again
Though I don't really know what
I'm gonna do when I get there
Take a breath and hold on tight
Spin around one more time
And gracefully fall back to the arms of grace


'Cause I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
'Cause I want nothing more than to sit
Outside Heaven's door and listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be, yeah...

Where I wanna be...

I'm looking past the shadows
of my mind into the truth and
I'm trying to identify
the voices in my head
God, which one's you
Let me feel one more time
What it feels like to feel
And break these calluses off of me
One more time

'Cause I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
'Cause I want nothing more than to sit
Outside your door and listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be, yeah...

I don't want a thing from you
Bet you're tired of me, waiting
For the scraps to fall
off of your table to the ground
'Cause I just want to be here now

'Cause I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
'Cause I want nothing more than to sit
Outside Heaven's door and listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be, yeah...

Where I wanna be...

We fall down
We lay our crowns
At the feet of Jesus
The greatness of Your mercy and love
At the feet of Jesus
And we cry Holy, Holy, Holy
We cry Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lamb.


I remember singing that song over Loui's cell phone to the people of Botswana, Africa in their own language. One of the most unforgettable moments of the trip...

<font size="3">OCEAN</font>

<font size="2"><font face="comic sans ms"><font color="blue">Lately I've been thinkin 'bout You
Lately I've been dreamin of You
Lately I can't get You out of my head
Can't get You
Out of my head...YEAH</font></font></font>

<font size="3"><font face="comic sans ms"><font color="blue">Somethin'
'Bout the ocean
Makes me rise up and praise You
Somethin'
'Bout the heavens

Somethin'
'Bout the ocean
And I'm lost in Love again</font></font></font>

<font size="2"><font face="comic sans ms"><font color="blue">I'll sing until I sense a smile
Upon Your great and lovely face
