What song is on your mind?

[Pressing-On]

For Always - Cece Winans

Remembering so well
the day that I met you
You took me in your arms
and caused dreams to come true
from the fear of what would be
you came and rescued me

Chorus

Lord I pray today
for the rest of my life
live inside my heart
please stay
for always
til that timeless place
when we're face to face
and we'll embrace
for always

I look ahead and see
the hills that I must climb
some high and some low
but if you lead I'll go
and at the end I'll see
You were always there with me

[TexasProud]

"Um Good" - Smokie Norful

If I never own a mansion
Way out on the hills
If I never see riches, Lord I'll serve You still
If I lose all my possessions
And my health begins to fail
I can still say You've been good

If I wake up on tomorrow
And find that all of my love ones are gone
Look around and see that my friends are few
I'll still keep holding on
If I call and there's no answer
In the midst of my despair
I can still say, Lord, You've been good

You've been good
Good, umm good (choir)
So as long as I live I'll tell the world God is good yeah oh
Good, ummm good (choir)
I'm so glad to say
God is good (choir)

If I never visit Paris and enjoy that midday sun
If I never sail the seven seas
Before my work out where is done, oh
If I never see the ruins
Of that city that they call ancient Rome
I'm not worried because I can still say You've been good

Lord You've been good
Good, um good (choir)
As long as long as long as I live I'm going to tell the world that God is good
Lord you been good (choir)
Good, umm good (choir)
God is good

I CAN ONLY IMAGINE

I can only imagine what it will be like, when I walk by Your side...
I can only imagine, what my eyes will see, when Your Face is before me!
I can only imagine. I can only imagine.
Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You, be still?
Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing 'Hallelujah!'? Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine! I can only imagine!

I can only imagine, when that day comes, when I find myself standing in the Son!
I can only imagine, when all I will do, is forever, forever worship You!
I can only imagine! I can only imagine!

Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel?

Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You, be still?
Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing 'Hallelujah!'? Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine! Yeah! I can only imagine!

Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel?

I can only imagine! Yeah! I can only imagine!

I can only imagine! Yeah! I can only imagine!! Only imagine!!!
I can only imagine.

I can only imagine, when all I do is forever, forever worship You!

We've Come This Far By Faith

Written by Doris Akers
Recorded by DA & the Sky Pilot Choir
(among others)


We've come this far by faith
Leaning on the Lord
Trusting in his holy Word
He's never failed me yet
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Can't turn around
We've come this far by faith

Don't be discouraged
If there's trouble in your life
He'll bear your burdens
And move all misery and strife

Just the other day
I heard a man say
He didn't believe in God's word
But I can truly say
That God has made a way
And He has never failed me yet.

That's why we've come this far by faith
Leaning on the Lord
Trusting his holy Word
He's never failed me yet
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Can't turn around
We've come this far by faith

So long I had searched for life's meaning,
Enslaved by the world and my greed;
Then the door of the prison was opened by love,
For the ransom was paid - I was free.

Refrain
I'm free from the fear of tomorrow,
I'm free from the guilt of the past;
For I've traded my shackles for a glorious song,
I'm Free! Praise the Lord! Free at last!
I'm free from the guilt that I carried,
From that dull empty life I'm set free;
For when I met Jesus, He made me complete,
He forgot how foolish I used to be.


Refrain
I'm free from the fear of tomorrow,
I'm free from the guilt of the past;
For I've traded my shackles for a glorious song,
I'm Free! Praise the Lord! Free at last!
I'm free from the fear of tomorrow,
I'm free from the guilt of the past;
For I've traded my shackles for a glorious song,
I'm Free! Praise the Lord! Free at last!
I'm Free! Praise the Lord! Free at last!

Bro. Chosenbyone,

You cannot know how you posting this song touched my

heart this morning. There is not one of us that can boast

of not having a sinful past. If we have anything to "boast"

it is only in what our Wonderful Lord Jesus did for each of

us.

Thank you for posting the words as I want to sing them

for a few days and once again thank HIM for His Marvelous mercy

and grace which He has bestowed abundantly upon each of

us. To God be the glory, for GREAT things He has done, whereof

we are glad!

Blessings,

Falla39

God's mercy cannot be measured by the opinions of others or ourselves...for that I would be forever grateful.

To know that I was once so enslaved by the world and I couldn't see the light for the darkness I found myself living in. But praise the Lord, he set my free from all those things that kept me from experiencing the grace and mercy that he so lovingly bestowed upon me.

I especially liked the second verse, but I couldn't find it online last night. Perhaps, I'll have the chance to write the verse down in order to share it too.

Love ya, MomC.

Dearest Chosen,

Please do! You know PopC and I love you with the love of Christ

shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost!! It's HIS LOVE for you

through us.

O love beyond human expression,
Compassion so boundless and free.
Jesus showed His great wealth of affection,
When His body was broken for me.

Blessings,

MomC

Up Where We Belong
- BeBe and CeCe Winans


You won't know what tomorrow brings,
in a world where few hearts survive.
All I know is the way I feel,
and if it's real, I'm gonna keep it alive.

'Cause the road is long,
there are mountains in our way,
but yet we'll climb still higher everyday.

Chorus:
Lord, lift us up where we belong,
where the eagles fly
on a mountain high.

Lord, lift us up where we belong,
up from the world we know,
where the clear winds blow.



Some hang on to what used to be,
stop living your life looking behind.
'cause all we have is You right now,
all our lives are in You tonight.

But the road is still so very long,
yes, there are mountains in our way,
but we won't worry 'cause we're achieving,
we'll keep climb still higher everyday.

Chorus


Bridge:
See, time goes by,
and sometimes, yes we'll cry
but He'll wipe every tear from our eyes
Lord lift us up, Jesus...

Chorus

[Barb]

Take You Burdens To The Lord


If the world from you withhold of its silver and its gold,
And you have to get along with meager fare,
Just remember, in His Word, how He feeds the little bird;
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

Chorus:
Leave it there, leave it there,
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
If you trust and never doubt, He will surely bring you out.
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

If your body suffers pain and your health you can’t regain,
And your soul is almost sinking in despair,
Jesus knows the pain you feel, He can save and He can heal;
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

When your enemies assail and your heart begins to fail,
Don’t forget that God in Heaven answers prayer;
He will make a way for you and will lead you safely through.
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

When your youthful days are gone and old age is stealing on,
And your body bends beneath the weight of care;
He will never leave you then, He’ll go with you to the end.
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

Chorus:
Leave it there, leave it there,
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
If you trust and never doubt, He will surely bring you out.
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
