Songs that Build Your Faith Up

[Trouvere]

I like to sing all the time.One of my favorites is "You don't know like I know"

[Praxeas]

What the Lord has done for me.....

Lead- You don't know like I know
All - What He's done for me
Lead- You don't know like I know
All - What He's done for me
Lead - You don't know like I know
All - What He's done for me
All - What the Lord has done for me

Some great songs posted...some I haven't thought of in years.


Got any rivers you think are uncrossable?
Got any mountaints you can't tunnel through?
God specializes in things thought impossible!
And HE can do what no other power can do.

Just this morning I woke up singing an old, old song. The wife said, "I never heard you sing that song before, bet I can tell you the name." I said yes, it is "I Will Never Turn Back."

Songs of consecration like these are seldom ever sung anymore. The churches have become so enamored with THE CHANT. In stead of being lifted to the realm of love, devotion and consecration that such songs bring us, we have moved into a strange realm of chant. We are paying the spiritual price for it.

I love the old songs like, "I Surrender All," "My Savior First of All," "It Is Love, My Saviors' Love." A few nights ago, I was singing in my sleep, "It Is Well With My Soul."

It is a different spirit and a different realm of spiritual sacrifice than that of the modern day Pentecostal Chant in so many churches. It almost makes you want to cry when Pentecostal kids tell their parents, "Mommy we learned a brand new song in Sunday School today, it's called "Power In the Blood."

That reminds me...anyone know all the words?
Sometime like
"One more river to cross, one more mountain to climb, one more battle that I've got to go through, leavin all my troubles behind, one more battle with the devil and I know you'll understand. Im goin through with Jesus Hallelujah, holdin to his nail scared hands"

Today at work I was thinking and praying and singing...all day!!

For a couple of hours I was singing the chorus to a song that was quite popular in the 70s, Praise the Lord.

I began to think about what praise can do and what it can mean in the life of a child of God...to praise in advance of the answer...to praise before I see the solution...to praise in the midst of the storm.

One of my nephews preached a sermon when he was eight years old, Praise Makes The devil Nervous!!

I can just picture in my mind me praying and standing on the Word, and the enemy, as my pastor preached Sunday, unleashing the powers from the deep.

But when I begin to praise the Name of the Lord, thanking Him for what He has done and will do, I can see the demons wringing their hands and pacing back and forth, and saying, "We've lost her...she's praising...it's all over now!!"

And so today I'm singing...

Praise the Lord!!
He can work through those who praise Him
Praise the Lord!!
For our God inhabits praise

Praise the Lord!!
For the chains that seem to bind us
Serve only to remind us
That they drop powerless behind us
When we praise Him!!

Satan is a liar
And he wants to make us feel
Like we are paupers when he knows himself we're children of the King
So lift up the mighty shields of faith
For this battle must be won
We know that Jesus Christ is risen
So the works already done

Chorus

PS: Barb, when we praise Him before receiving the answer we show our faith and trust in Him.

IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blessed assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

- Words by Horatio G. Spafford, 1873
- Music by Philip P. Bliss, 1876

The words to this hymn was written after two major traumas in Spafford's life. The first was the Great Chicago Fire of October 1871, which ruined him financially. Shortly after, while crossing the Atlantic, all four of Spafford's daughters died in a collision with another ship. Spafford's wife Anna survived and sent him the now famous telegram: "SAVED ALONE." Several weeks later, as Spafford's own ship passed near the spot where his daughters died, he was inspired to write these words.

Bliss originally named the tune "Ville de Havre" after the ship on which Spafford's four girls perished, the SS Ville de Havre. Ironically, Bliss himself died in a tragic train wreck shortly after writing this music.

OH MY DEAR LORD!!!

If I could dry my eyes enough to see, I would write this response to that....

I was singing this song in my sleep recently. Oh my how I sung it!

Give me singing like this any day over some of this goofy Pentecostal chanting that so many churches have going on nowadays.

Now, somebody see if they can find "Nearer My God To Thee."

Also see if you can find...

There is something in my soul
that makes the halleujahs roll
it is love, my saviors love
O the precious love of Jesus
how it thrills my ransomed soul
oer and oer I'll sing his praises
while the happy ages roll.
