This song is one of my favorites from the movie Facing the Giants I don't know the name of the singer.
COMPLETELY
The secret of life is letting go The secret of love is letting it show In all that I do, In all that I say right here in this moment. The power of prayer is in a humble cry The power of change is in giving my life and laying it down down at Your feet Right here in this moment.
Take my heart Take my soul I surrender everything to Your control And let all that is in me lift up to You and say I am Yours and Yours alone completely
This journey of life is a search for truth This journey of faith is following You Every step of the way through the joy and the pain Right here in this moment
Take my heart take my soul I surrender eveything to Your control And let all that is in me lift up to You and say I am Yours and Yours alone completely
Right here Right now And for the rest of my life Hear me say...
Take my heart Take my soul I surrender everything to Your control And let all that is in me lift up to You and say I am Yours and Yours alone- Completely

Hold on guys! I'm really behind on my songs, so I'm going to post a few today!
I heard this song in the movie Fireproof (great movie, btw). Those of you doing the Experiencing God study with me, may recall my story and can probably imagine how this affected me.
While I'm Waiting by John Waller
I'm waiting I'm waiting on You, Lord And I am hopeful I'm waiting on You, Lord Though it is painful But patiently, I will wait
I will move ahead, bold and confident Takeing every step in obedience While I'm waiting I will serve You While I'm waiting I will worship While I'm waiting I will not faint I'll be running the race Even while I wait
I'm waiting I'm waiting on You, Lord And I am peaceful I'm waiting on You, Lord Though it's not easy But faithfully, I will wait Yes, I will wait I will serve You while I'm waiting I will worship while I'm waiting I will serve You while I'm waiting I will worship while I'm waiting I will serve you while I'm waiting I will worship while I'm waiting on You, Lord

I really relate to this one too.
All I Need - Bethany Dillon
When the day is done And there's no one else around While I'm lying here in bed You're in my heart, You're in my head You're all I need You're all I need There are a million voices Calling out my name But You're the One I want to hear So make the others disappear You're all I need You're all I need
You are all I need when I'm surrounded You are all I need if I'm by myself You fill me when I'm empty There is nothing else You're all I need
When the morning comes And Your mercy is renewed There's a fire in my bones I'm not afraid to go alone You're all I need You're all I need The sun on my face I hear You whisper loud You're still the God that opens seas Every flower, even me You're all I need You're all I need
I'm drawn to everything that You do Nothing compares with You

Dawn sent me this one. It brought me to tears...literally. I mean, the sobbing, messy, ugly (yet beautiful) tears. It was exactly what I needed to hear. Hope Now - Addison Road If everything comes down to love Then just what am I afraid of When I call out Your name Something inside awakes in my soul How quickly I forget I'm Yours (PRE-CHORUS) I'm not my own I've been carried by You All my life (CHORUS) Everything rides on hope now Everything rides on faith somehow When the world has broken me down Your love sets me free When my life is like a storm Rising waters all I want is the shore You say I'll be ok and Make it through the rain You are my shelter from the storm Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com(PRE-CHORUS) I'm not my own I've been carried by You All my life (CHORUS) Everything rides on hope now Everything rides on faith somehow When the world has broken me down Your love sets me free (CHORUS 2) Everything rides on hope now Everything rides on faith somehow When the world has broken me down Your love sets me free You've become my hearts desire I will sing Your praises higher Cause Your love sets me free Your love sets me free Your love sets me free

I have so many songs that have inspired me for so many reasons.
THE ROSE is one of my favorites,
Some say love, it is a river, that drowns the tender reed Some say love, it is a razor, that leaves your soul to bleed Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need I say love, it is a flower, and you, its only seed
Its the heart afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance Its the dream afraid of waking, that never takes the chance Its the one who wont be taken, the one who cant seem to give And the soul afraid of dying, that never learns to live
When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong Just remember that in the winter, far beneath the bitter snow Lies the seed, that with the suns love in the spring becomes the rose.
________________________________________
I think it's the fact that THE ROSE is actually a weed that amazes me so much. Do we think of it as a weed or from the weed family? When you think of weeds, you think of plucking them from your garden, getting rid of them and throwing them away or casting them aside, because they are not "good enough". Would you think that of a beautiful blooming rose? Not likely. How did the rose become so beautiful? three things, sun water and love, God's love, he didn't see a weed, he saw hope and potential and thought "humm what would this become if I showed it some love?" and the rose bloomed and the rose was beautiful. I often think of that when I look at other things in life. It's my reminder not to be to quick to judge.

Hallelujah
I've heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this The fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you She tied you To a kitchen chair She broke your throne, she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe I've been here before I know this room, I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you I've seen your flag on the marble arch love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
There was a time you'd let me know What's real and going on below But now you never show it to me do you? Remember when I moved in you? The holy dark was moving too And every breath we drew was hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above And all I ever learned from love Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you It's not a cry you can hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah

This one really spoke to me today:
Let Go - Barlowgirl
"Let Go"
Yeah I trust in You I remember times You led me This time it's bigger now And I'm afraid You'll let me down
But how can I be certain? Will You prove Yourself again?
[Chorus:] 'Cause I'm about to let go And live what I believe I can't do a thing now But trust that You'll catch me When I let go When I let go
What is this doubt in me Convincing me to fear the unknown When all along You've shown Your plans are better than my own
And I know I won't make it If I do this all alone

These are a couple of songs that I thought would really speak to some people.
Take You Back by Jeremy Camp
The reason why I stand The answer lies in you You hung to make me strong Tho my praise was few When I fall I bring your name down
But I have found in you A heart that bleeds Forgiveness replacing all these thoughts of painful memories And I know your response will always be
Chorus: I'll take you back always Even when your fight is over now I'll take you back Even when the pain is coming through I'll take you back
You satisfy this cry of what I'm looking for And I'll take all I can and lay it down before The throne of endless grace now that radiates what's true I'm in the only place that erases all these faults that have overtaken me and I know that your response will always be
(Chorus)
I can only speak with a graceful heart As I'm pierced by this gift of your love I will always bring an offering I can never thank you enough
You take me back always Even when my fight is over now You take me back Even when the pain is coming through You take me back
Back in His Arms Again by Mark Shultz

This song is basically the story of my life!
Harder Than the First Time by Barlow Girl
"Harder Than The First Time"
I walked with you Just like we've done for so long You seem so near But even that's become so common It's not just You, just been together so long That I thought I knew everything about You But today I saw Did You open up my eyes? 'Cause I feel like I've just seen You for the first time
I didn't see You But God I want to You've come alive And I think I've fallen harder than the first time
Was I so blind? How did I not see You? Yet in that time You never left my side So far all my life I will live to know You So here I am, I'll take Your hand
I see Your face I feel You close The love You've always shown me Won't miss it now can't waste a day Jesus I'm Yours completely

This song is my new prayer as I seek after Him more and more with my whole heart and being:
Sonicflood, Carried Away
You are the open door to freedom You are the only hope I have The reason in my reason The only thing that lasts How could I begin to settle When all within me longs To step into the shelter Of your everlasting arms
I wanna get carried away I wanna get tossed by your waves I don't care where or how deep I'm gonna jump in with both feet I wanna get carried away I wanna get lost in your ways I wanna be held by your truth I wanna behold all of you I'm gonna be all yours today I wanna get carried away
You are the wisdom of the ages You are the one who stays the same The power in the wind The scent left by the rain How could I begin to make it If all I had was me Just take me as I am Lord And sweep me out to sea.
Some say You're far away But I know You're here with me I could go anywhere And still you'd be there with me I know You're here with me.

I wonder how it must have felt When David stood to face Goliath on a hill I imagine that he shook with all his might Until You took his hand, and held on tight
'Cause You were there, You were there In the midst of danger's snare You were there, You were there always You were there when the hardest fight Seemed so out of reach Oh, You were there, You were always there You were always there
So there he stood upon that hill Abraham with knife in hand was poised to kill But God in all his sovereignty had bigger plans And just in time, You brought a lamb
'Cause You were there, You were there In the midst of the unclear You were there, you were there always You were there when obedience Seemed to not make sense You were there, You were always there You were always there
So haven't I learned that my ways Aren't as high as Yours are And You alone keep the universe From crumbling into dust You are God and though we would Not have understood You There You were
Hanging blameless on a cross You would rather die than leave us in the dark Every moment, every planned coincidence Just all makes sense With Your last breath
You were there, You were there During history's darkest hour You were there, You were there always You were the Victor and the King You were the power in David's swing You were the calm in Abraham You are the God who understands You are the strength when we have none You are the living, Holy one You were, You are and You will always be the Risen Lamb of God
You were, You are and You will always be The Risen Lamb of God

Here is link to Jimmy Needham's "Forgiven and Loved." www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0QeT4xI2yALyrics to Forgiven & Loved : Tell me I’m forgiven and loved ‘Cause I hear it from the street corner priests On how God is love and how man can be clean But my joy has been on holiday And my peace has almost passed away Tell me I’m forgiven and free CHORUS O I tried and tried to rectify my hopeless situation But I bought the lie I still have work to do Now I’m working nine to five like I can earn my own salvation But there is no condemnation in You O whisper to me now that it’s for real ‘Cause in the silence of these walls righteousness lost its appeal Dirty deeds have done me in O but that can’t stop the faithful friend Giving mercy once again as You heal Here it is I’m feeling it (Chorus) O He died, He died to rectify my hopeless situation And His blood commands my guilt to leave Now on Calvary I stand Empty pockets, open hands O there is no condemnation for me (Chorus) Child, you’re forgiven and loved Child, you’re forgiven and loved Child, you’re forgiven And child, you are loved Child, you’re forgiven and loved

One of our sisters asked that I post my interpretation of Hallelujah in here. I posted in another thread also and there has been some convo. Those that do not know the Bible may not understand that the story of David and the story of Sampson have sexual components so the song does have sexual overtones, but I believe the Holy Spirit interprets it as he would want us to hear it. I posted this in my blog today, but thought I would share it here as well. A number of people have been discussing the meaning of the Leonard Cohen song “Hallelujah” (sung by Jason Castro on AI) and several have asked me what I think this song means. Someone recently said that it was not a worship song, but I believe they are very wrong. According to the Miriam-Webster Dictionary, the word “Hallelujah” is defined as being used to give praise, joy, or thanks. It is derived from the Hebrew word hallĕlûyâh which means “praise (ye) the Lord". So, in essence, the word Hallelujah is praising God. Interpretation as beauty, is always in the “eyes of the beholder.” Some say Leonard Cohen lyrics often contain sexual innuendo. That being said, if you've read the Bible, you will hear Biblical symbolism throughout this song as it tells the story of King David and Bathsheba (and throws in a little bit of Samson details too). King David had a special relationship with God. He spent much of time praising God with his instruments and song. Even though David’s heart yearned to please the Lord, he was still human and he succumbed to temptation. This displeased the Lord. The Book of Second Samuels in the Old Testament shows us that as humans we are imperfect -- our spirit is willing to please God but our flesh is weak. Yet, if our heart is right, and we repent [I didn’t say “say sorry”, I said “repent”), will be merciful and forgive us. (made possible by God's grace and gift of salvation throught Christ. David was pre-Christ, but instead of getting into a whole Bible study here, David still needed Christ's sacrifice on the cross to be totally right with God. ) David’s heart joyfully sung to his Lord the Hallelujah with gusto, but after his sinful relationship with Bathsheba, he was no longer whole and no longer enjoyed the favor of the Lord--his relationship with God was no longer the same. I believe the “broken Hallelujah” was sung when a broken and repentant David sang Hallelujah before his Lord. Who knows what inspired Leonard Cohen when he wrote this song, but as the Bible says “the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.” The spirit gives this song life and "those that have ears hear" and are blessed -- it is a song of praising God for his grace, mercy and forgiveness. So, I say, Hallelujah! Praise ye the Lord! and as the song says: "And even though It all went wrong I'll stand before the Lord of Song With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah " Leonard Cohen Hallelujah Lyrics: I've heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this The fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah (chorus) Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you She tied you To a kitchen chair She broke your throne, and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah (chorus) You say I took the name in vain I don't even know the name But if I did, well really, what's it to you? There's a blaze of light In every word It doesn't matter which you heard The holy or the broken Hallelujah Hallelujah (chorus) I did my best, it wasn't much I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch I've told the truth, I didn't come here to fool you And even though It all went wrong I'll stand before the Lord of Song With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah Hallelujah (chorus) my blog heart-throscopy.blogspot.com/
