This song is just...wow.
I Am
At the end of every rainbow There’s a promise proven true No matter how you’re feeling now or what you go through There will be somebody lovin’ you Deeper than the grandest canyon And higher than the open sky Near enough to capture every whisper, every sigh Strong enough to hold you when you cry
CHORUS I Am. I was. I am the one who is to come. Yeah Before and after, I’ll still be what I am and what I was. All that you need. All that you want. I Am.
If you need someone to hold you Because your world’s fallin’ apart If you need a light to guide you safely through the dark And chase away the nightmares of the heart If you need someone to give you A purpose for your broken past And restore the reservoir of hope inside of you And mercies for each morning that is new
CHORUS I AM. And I was. I am the one who is to come. Yeah. Before and after. I’ll still be what I am and what I was. I’ll be all that you need and I’ll be all that you want. I’m telling you, I am, I’m the rose they crucified and buried I am ,now I’m risen from the dead. I am, I’m the lion from the tribe of Judah I am, I’m the lamb I am. And I was. I am the one who is to come. Yeah Before and after. I’m still gonna still be what I am and what I was I’m gonna be all that you need and I’ll be all that you want. I’m telling you I am. I am. What you need, what you want, what you what you deeply desire yeah When you’re lonely and you think that no-one really cares Before Sarah and Moses, The father Abraham.... I AM

ive been through sooo much with my health..i shouldnt be alie today
The Impossible by Joe Nichols My dad chased monsters from the dark, checked underneath my bed, he could lift me with one arm, way up over top of his head, He could loosen rusty bolts, with a quick turn of his wrench, he pulled splinters from his hand, never even flinched, In 13 years I'd never seen him cry, but the day that Grandpa died, I realized
(chorus) Unsinkable ships~ sink Unbreakable walls~ break Sometimes the things you think will never happen~ happen just like that unbendable steel~ bends if the fury of the wind is unstoppable I've learned to never underestimate...the impossible
Then there was my Jr. year Billy had a brand new car it was late the road was wet.. I guess the curve was just too sharp I walked away with out a scratch they brought the helicopter in and Billy couldn't feel his legs said he'd never walk again but Billy said he would and his Mom and Daddy prayed and the day we graduated he stood up and to say
unsinkable ships~ sink unbreakable walls~ break sometimes the things you think will never happen~ happen just like that unbendable steel~ bends if the fury of the wind is unstoppable I've learned to never underestimate the impossible
so don't tell me that it's over don't give up on you and me cause theres no such thing as hopeless if u believe
unsinkable ships~ sink unbreakable walls~ break sometimes the things you think will never happen ~ happen just like that unbendable steel~bends if the fury of the wind is unstoppable I've learned to never underestimate the impossible

I love this song. I first heard it by Don Francisco. I watched Dolly Parton sing about 20 years ago. I have both of those on ITunes. Here is the link to Dolly's song. I just love that ending. I prefer it with I'm Forgiven as compared to what the words below say. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbRPWUHM80M He's Alive The gates doors were barred, and all the windows fastened down I spent the night in sleeplessness, and rose at every sound Half in hopeless sorrow, and half in fear of the day But to find the soldiers breakin' through, to take us all away Then just before the sunrise Iheard somethin' at the wall The gate began to rattle, and a voice began to call I hurried to the window, and looked down into the street Expecting swords and torches, and the sound of soldiers' feet There was no one there but Mary, so went down to let her in John stood there beside me, as she told us where she'd been She said they moved Him in the night, and none us knows where The stone's been rolled away and now His body is not there We both ran toward the garden, then John ran on ahead We found the stone and the empty tomb just the way that Mary said But the winding sheet they'd wrapped Him in was just an empty shell And how or where they'd taken Him was more than I could tell Well somethin' strange had happened there but just what, I didn't know John beleived a miracle, but I just turned to go Circumstance and speculation, couldn't lift me very high Besides I seen Him crucified and then I watched Him die Well back inside the house again all the guilt and the anguish came Everything I'd promised Him just added to my shame And when at last it came to choices, I denied I knew his Name And even if he was alive it just couldn't be the same Suddenly! The air was filled with a strange and sweet perfume Light that came from everywhere drew shadows through the room Jesus stood before me, with His arms held open wide And I fell down on my knees to Him and just clung to Him and cried Then He raised me to my feet, and as I looked into His eyes Love was shining out from Him like sunlight from the skies Guilt and my confusion, disappeared in sweet release And every fear I ever had just vanished into peace He's alive! He's alive! He's alive and you're forgiven! Heaven's gate are open wide! He's alive! He's alive! He's alive and you're forgiven! Heaven's gate are open wide! He's alive! He's alive! He's alive and you're forgiven! Heaven's gate are open wide! He's alive! He's alive! He's a-live! He's a-live!

Can you guys tell I'm a Nicole C. Mullen fan by now? She is not only a talented singer and full of the light of the Lord, but she is a gifted songwriter as well.
Music of My Heart by Nicole C. Mullen I'm not ashamed to tell the whole world, oh Without you, I'm nothing at all That I have strings in need of mending I'm out of tune in certain parts So strum the chords of mercy Restore my soul completely Lay your hand upon me And this instrument will breathe
[Chorus] 'Cause you're the music of my heart (Yeah yeah yeah yeah) The melody within my soul (Yeah yeah yeah yeah) The song that holds me in the dark (Yeah yeah yeah yeah) The fire that warms me when I'm cold (Yeah yeah yeah yeah) The symphony that calms my fear (Yeah yeah yeah yeah) The lyric that I long to hear (Yeah yeah yeah yeah) The masterpiece, the work of art Complete before I start The music of my heart
Yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Creator of all that is lovely, oh Write a tune upon my heart And when you finish will you play me Like a beautiful guitar? Strum the chords of mercy Restore my soul completely Breathe life into me And this instrument will sing
[Repeat Chorus]
Of my heart I'm captivated (Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Heart) Of my heart My soul's elated (Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Heart) Of my heart Because Every single line's full of love divine Write me like a valentine
[Repeat Chorus]
Yeah, the music of my heart Of my heart The music of my heart Of my heart The music of my heart

I LOVE this song so much that Jason sang before AI. Jason if you are reading this, I hope you will put this on one of your albums some day. I can identify with the words in this.
CLUMSY
You think 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?
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
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
From where I stand Your holiness is up so high I can never reach it My only hope is to fall on Jesus
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

This song has always touched me, but especially at this point in my life and in my walk with God:
Ginny Owens, If you want me to Without Condition
The pathway is broken And The signs are unclear And I don't know the reason why You brought me here But just because You love me the way that You do I'm gonna walk through the valley If You want me to
Cause I'm not who I was When I took my first step And I'm clinging to the promise You're not through with me yet so if all of these trials bring me closer to you Then I will walk through the fire If You want me to
It may not be the way I would have chosen When you lead me through a world that's not my home But You never said it would be easy You only said I'd never go alone
So when the whole world turns against me And I'm all by myself And I can't hear You answer my cries for help I'll remember the suffering that Your love put You through And I will walk through the darkness If You want me to
Cuz when I cross over Jordan Gonna sing, gonna shout, Gonna look into Your eyes and see You never let me down So take me on the pathway that leads me home to You And I will walk though the valley If You want me to
Yes, I will walk through the valley If You want me to

That's great, Lisa! Thanks for sharing that! Here is one that really spoke to me today. It reminded me of our Bible study discussion!
Adonai - Avalon
One single drop of rain Your salty tear became blue ocean One tiny grain of sand turning in your hand A world in motion You're out beyond the furthest Morning Star Close enough to hold me in Your arms Adonai I lift up my heart and I cry
My Adonai You are the Maker of each moment Father of my hope and freedom Oh, my Adonai One timid faithful knock Resounds up the Rock of Ages One trembling heart and soul Becomes a servant bold and courageous You call across the mountains and the seas I answer from the deepest part of me From age to age you reign in Majesty And today You're making miracles in me.

Chrise Rice I think is the name of the guy who sings it. But I am not sure if he is the writer.

This song really touched me. God will see us through anything!
I Have Been There - Mark Schultz
In a room without a view A new mother smiles and holds the tiny fingers Of her brand new baby girl Her husband takes her by the hand So unsure about the future and no money Can they make it in this world And they pray, Lord all we have to give is love Then they heard a gentle voice Like an echo from above
Oh I have been there I know what fear is all about Yes, I have been there And I am standing with you now I have been there And I came to build a bridge oh so this road could Lead you home Oh I have been there
He’d been a pastor twenty years But tonight he sits alone and brokenhearted In the corner of the church He’s tried to change a fallen world With his words and with his wisdom But it seems like it is only getting worse And he cries Oh Lord I just don’t understand And then he felt the hand of grace, And he heard a voice that said
I have been there I know what pain is all about Yes, I have been there And I am standing with you now I have been there And I came to build to a bridge oh so This road could lead you home Oh I have been there
An older man up on a hill Holding flowers but he can’t hold back the tears He has come to say goodbye He thinks about the life she lived Thinks about how hard it’s been To live without her Sixty years right by his side And he cries, Oh Lord I loved her ‘til the end Then he heard a gentle voice say you’ll see her once again
I have been there I know what sorrow is all about Yes, I have been there And I am standing with you now I have been there And I came to build a bridge Oh so this road could lead her home The road could lead her home Oh I have been there
You know I overcame the cross I have been there So her life would not be lost I have been there And I came to build a bridge Oh so this road could lead you home The road could lead you home Oh I have been there

This song has really touched me. It is the song we prayed when we prayed for the cities on the tour this summer. Anyway, it has such a spirit to it and an amazing story behind it. Warning: the story deals with prostitution. The words to the song are at the end. I have guitar tabs too if anyone is interested. God of this City was written by an Irish Christian band called Bluetree. It was covered by Chris Tomlin at the Passion Conference, which is the version I'm linking to on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=d61LamkXfwkHere is the story, from Bluetree's myspace blog: blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=85624324&blogID=366921286God of this City - Story behind the song Current mood: mellow Category: Writing and Poetry God of this City Nov 2007, Bluetree are heading out to Pattaya Thailand to participate in an event arranged by Belfast missionaries living in Pattaya, Thailand called Pattaya Praise. We’ve no expectation of the event; we were just looking for an opportunity to serve somehow. We didn’t know much about it before we left, but Pattaya is a dark place. It’s a small seaside town notorious for it’s sex trade. Throughout our time there we heard countless stories of girls who are bought from their parents for a price, sold to the sex industry at ages as young as 5 years old. Arriving in Pattaya the spiritual climate seems to change, it’s hard to define, but there is a very tangible change. On the bus journey in we’d been our usual cheery selves, but entering Pattaya at 10am and turning on to a street lined by girls ready for business, the bus became very quiet. We’re in total shock. It’s a sunny day but it’s incredible how dark it feels. ’Walking street’ we learn is the epicentre of the sex trade in Pattaya, it’s about a mile long and at night springs to life with neon signs. Thai people are generally conservative in their dress sense – it’s generally considered provocative to bare your shoulders. But on their street the girls are wearing very little, and offering anything you can imagine for a price. It’s easy to look around with human eyes, see the depravity and get angry. You see older men walking hand-in-hand with young girls – as a daddy, that’s hard to take in. It’s easy to get angry, it’s easy to judge – but that’s not our job, so we grit our teeth. We were in Pattaya to be part of a praise event not far from this street, the soul purpose of which was to worship and show God’s light in a dark place. We wanted to play more than the scheduled slots while we were there, so we found out that one of the bar owners would let us play a worship set in her bar on the proviso that we brought as many from the missions team who would buy coke-a-cola all night. We walk in to the bar which is about the middle of walking street, girls are lined up on the stairs waiting for business. We get set up, we’re really nervous and quite uncomfortable but we kick in to a familiar beat of worship and soon it’s ok. God starts to speak and we started to move in to this spontaneous song. The truth is when you worship in a place, you start to see God’s heart for that place. What would God say to a place like this? Amidst the depravity God say’s, I’m the God of this City, I’m the King of these people and Greater Thing are Yet to Come, Greater Things are Still to be Done HERE. The song wasn’t written before that night, but we came out of the bar having worshipped with the song that is now the title track of our album – God of this City (Greater things). The song isn’t just for Pattaya – it’s for your city, and it’s true. By faith we must expect that greater things are still to be done. Words to God of the City: God of this City (Greater Things)You’re the God of this city You’re the King of these people You’re the Lord of this nation You are You’re the light in this darkness You’re the hope to the hopeless You’re the peace to the restless You are For there is no-one like our God There is no-one like our God Greater things have yet to come Greater things are still to be done In this city Greater things have yet to come And greater things have still to be done here You’re the Lord of Creation The Creator of all things You’re the King above all Kings You are You’re the strength in our weakness You’re the love to the broken You’re the joy in the sadness You are For there is no-one like our God There is no-one like our God Greater things have yet to come Greater things are still to be done In this city Greater things have yet to come And greater things have still to be done here

Anyone else see themselves in this song?
Live for Today - Natalie Grant
Sittin' in my room staring at the wall Wonderin' about the meaning of it all Why is it this thing called life Has got me goin' crazy So I open up your word and let it speak to me The purpose and the plan that you've designed Is clear to see, and I believe
Chorus: I'm gonna live for today I'm gonna follow in your way I'm gonna let my little light shine Like there's no tomorrow I won't worry about the past I know my future is intact So I'll choose to live my life one way I'm gonna live it for today
You told me not to worry About what lies ahead So I am gonna focus on today instead Making every moment count and counting Every single blessing I'm gonna set my mind on the Here and the Now This is what I want my life to be about And this is How...
Chorus: I'm gonna live for today I'm gonna follow in your way I'm gonna let my little light shine Like there's no tomorrow I won't worry about the past I know my future is intact So I'll choose to live my life one way I'm gonna live it for today

I wasn't that familiar with her before. I have this one song, because it was on a Wow CD. Then I saw video of her because she's doing the Revolve Tour (like Women of Faith only for teens). This week, I heard this song again...and it just hit me. This is such a description of where I am right now.

These songs are wonderful...thanks so much everyone. I first heard this song, sung by Kathy Tracolli at a Women of Faith conference a few years ago. I love Kathy's story and music.
My Life is in Your Hands - Kathy Tracolli
Life can be so good Life can be so hard Never knowing what each day Will bring to where you are Sometimes I forget And sometimes I can't see That whatever comes my way You'll be with me
My life is in your hands My heart is in your keeping I'm never without love Not when my future is with you
My life is in your hands And though I may not see clearly I will lift my voice and sing Cause your love does amazing things Lord, I know, my life is in your hands
Nothing is for sure Nothing is for keeps All I know is that your love Will live eternally So I will find my way, yes And I will find my peace Knowing that you'll meet my every need
My life is in your hands My heart is in your keeping I'm never without love Not when my future is with you
My life is in your hands And though I may not see clearly I will lift my voice and sing Cause your love does amazing things Lord, I know, my life is in your hands
When I'm at my weakest love You carry me Then I become my strongest love In your hands
My life is in your hands And though I may not see clearly I will lift my voice and sing Cause your love does amazing things Lord, I know, my life is in your hands I trust you Lord My life is in your hands
