We sang this one by Delirious this morning and it's still on my heart:
Here I am, humbled by Your majesty, Covered by Your grace so free. Here I am, knowing I'm a sinful man, Covered by the blood of the Lamb.
Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine, Since You laid down Your life, the greatest sacrifice. Majesty, Majesty. Your grace has found me just as I am, Empty-handed but alive in Your hands.
Here I am, humbled by the love that You give, Forgiven so that I can forgive. So here I stand, knowing that I am Your desire, Sanctified by glory and fire.
And now I've found the greatest love of all is mine, Since You laid down Your life, the greatest sacrifice. Majesty, Majesty. Your grace has found me just as I am, Empty-handed but alive in your hands.
Singing Majesty, Majesty. Forever I am changed by Your love, In the presence of Your Majesty. Majesty.
We're singing Majesty, Majesty. Your grace has found me just as I am, And I'm nothing but alive in Your hands.
We're singing Majesty, Majesty. Forever I am changed by Your love, In the beauty of Your Majesty. Majesty.

This one stays with me everytime I hear it. Selah sings it:
Bless The Broken Road
I set out on a narrow way many years ago Hoping I would find true love along the broken road But I got lost a time or two Wiped my brow and kept pushing through I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you Every long lost dream led me to where you are Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars Pointing me on my way into your loving arms This much I know is true That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you
I think about the years I spent just passing through I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you But you just smile and take my hand You've been there you understand It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true
Every long lost dream led me to where you are Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars Pointing me on my way into your loving arms This much I know is true That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you
Now I'm just rolling home Into my lover's arms This much I know is true That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you
That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you.

Yeah, it was written and performed by the 'nitty gritty dirt band' ~14 years ago, then Melodie Crittenden recorded it a few years later, 5-6 other people have performed it over the years. We saw Selah (Melodie sang with them for a while and recorded it with them too) in concert a few months ago and Todd and Amy rocked it

I love that song Steve We started singing that recently at church \o/
may each morning begin like this...
Beholding Your beauty Is all that I long for To worship You Jesus Is my sole desire For this very heart You have shaped for Your pleasure Purposed to lift Your Name higher
Here in surrender In pure adoration I enter Your courts With an offering of praise I am Your servant Come to bring You glory As is fit for the work of Your hands
[Chorus 1:] Now unto the Lamb Who sits on the throne Be glory and honour and praise All of creation resounds with the song Worship and praise Him The Lord of lords
Spirit now living And dwelling within me Keep my eyes fixed Ever on Jesus' face Let not the things of this world Ever sway me I'll run 'til I finish the race
[Chorus 2:] Now unto the Lamb Who sits on the throne Be glory and honour and praise All of eternity echoes the song Worship and praise Him The Lord of lords
Holy Lord You are holy Jesus Christ Is the Lord
[Chorus 3:] Now unto the Lamb Who sits on the throne Be glory and honour and praise Call all the sinners and others come home Worship and praise Him The Lord of lords

We went to see MercyMe perform at MinuteMaid Park yesterday before the Astros game! In it they sang this song that has stuck with me ever since.... this morning we sang it in church:
God with Us! Verse 1
Who are we That You would be mindful of us What do You see That’s worth looking our way
We are free In ways that we never should be Sweet release From the grip of these chains
Pre-Chorus
Like hinges straining from the weight My heart no longer can keep from singing!
Chorus All that is within me cries For You alone be glorified Emmanuel God with us!
Verse 2
Lord You know Our hearts don’t deserve Your glory Still You show A love we cannot afford
Pre-Chorus
Like hinges straining from the weight My heart no longer can keep from singing!
Chorus
All that is within me cries For You alone be glorified Emmanuel God with us!
My heart sings a brand new song The debt is paid these chains are gone Emmanuel God with us!
Bridge
Such a tiny offering compared to Calvary
Nevertheless we lay it at Your feet
Chorus
All that is within me cries For You alone be glorified Emmanuel God with us!
My heart sings a brand new song The debt is paid these chains are gone Emmanuel God with us!
