It’s one thing to speak about about loving a King
Of a heart that’s devoted, to seek only Him
Of a cross taken daily, a price is worth paying
It’s one thing to speak but another to live
It’s one thing to talk of eternal reward
To say that labour is all for a cause
To speak of religion of grace and forgiveness
It’s one thing to talk but another to walk
It’s one thing to speak of the people in need
Of the bound and oppressed, of the lost and the least
about knowing the truth that can make a man new
it’s far more to reach out than live what we preach about how
How could I ever hesitate to come
I’m compelled by Your saving love
To live for Your cause
Outside of these walls
So show me a people whose hearts would be stirred
To go make disciples of those who’ve not heard
To live by the Spirit not of this world but in it
In deed and in word, for this is the church
i was watching this video and i searched for the lyrics. pretty interesting huh.
Better Days – Goo Goo Dolls
And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we’ll find better days
Cuz I don’t need boxes wrapped in strings
And designer love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we’ll find better days
So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight’s the night the world begins again
And it’s someplace simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And thats faith and trust and peace while we’re alive
And the one poor child that saved this world
And there’s 10 million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them
So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight’s the night the world begins again
I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we’ll find better days
So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight’s the night the world begins again
Cuz tonight’s the night the world begins again

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
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 and He brought me to my knees
When God ran – I saw Him run to me
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
listened to this song on a phone that can double as a mirror just a few days ago. brought back memories. i rmb singing this song a long time ago in cell group. the lyrics really touched my heart. its about the prodigal son go search for it on youtube and listen to it!
we’ve been singing a particular song quite a bit at prayer house i can only rmb snatches of the lyrics. need melissa’s help here.
(all the you’s with a capital Y)
i’m not afraid of what i can’t see cos God you hold the future, beginning and the end you are.
i live i breathe i stand on your mighty promises the enemy’s defeated yea
cos you have won it won it all and you have saved us saved us
you overcame it all, the glory of your reign, it reaches to the stars, the glory of your fame, you overcame it all, the glory of your name, you overcame it all all all
i’m not afraid of what i don’t know, ….. , fear it has no place in my life.
lalallala. haha that’s all i can remember! and i might have mixed it up a bit!
but ohh, the part where it goes “fear it has no place in my life” is what i sing out and declare the most.
FEAR IT HAS NO PLACE IN MY LIFE!

You are all
Big and small
Beautiful
And wonderful to trust in grace through faith
But I’m asking to taste
For dark is light to you
Depths are height to you
Far is near
But Lord I need to hear from you
Be near oh God, Be near, oh God of us
Your nearness is to us our good
Be near, oh God, Be near, oh God of us
Your nearness is to us our good
Our good
Your fullness is mine
Revelation divine
But oh to taste
To know much more than a page
To feel your embrace
For dark is light to you
Depths are height to you
Far is near
But Lord I need to hear from you
Be near oh God, Be near, oh God of us
You’re nearness is to us our good
Be near oh God, Be near, oh God of us
You’re nearness is to us our good
Be near oh God, Be near, oh God of us
You’re nearness is to us our good
Be near oh God, Be near, oh God of us
You’re nearness is to us our good
My good
Psalm 31:24 Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.

If faith helps us to decide I have decided
With all of my breath with this heart in my chest
Every look in my eye You know why
I’m coming Your way
I’m coming Your way
joy unspeakable that won’t go away
and just enough strength to live for the day
so i’ll never have to worry what tomorrow will bring
cos my faith is on solid rock
i am counting on God!
When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ my God! All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood. See from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down! Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were an offering far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.
