Sunday 3.9.14 10,000 Reasons

10,000 reasons. Wow! That's a lot, isn't it. Yet, the number of reasons that we have to praise God, far surpasses 10,000.

10,000 Reasons ~ Matt Redman

[Chorus] Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name

The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes

[Chorus]

You're rich in love, and You're slow to anger
Your name is great, and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find

[Chorus]

And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending
Ten thousand years and then forevermore

[Chorus 2x]



Love,
Rebekah

Sunday 2.16.14 Broken Hallelujah

Definition of HALLELUJAH

—used to express praise, joy, or thanks

Hallelujahs come in so many different ways and forms. Think of the ways that we express our Hallelujahs to the King.

Sunday 2.2.14 Shake The World

"When the sons and daughters start singing this song,
Then everybody all around 'em will be singing along,
It's gonna shake the world. It's gonna shake the world!
When we all start marching to the beat of the drum,
Moving to the rhythm of the Kingdom to come,
It's gonna shake the world, It's gonna shake, shake, shake the world!"

Can you imagine the world shaking. If everybody would sing this song, would let the light of Jesus shine through, the world would "shake, shake, shake."  This song just fills me with joy. The beat, the words, the passion. The imagination this song brings to mind. I'm smiling just thinking about this song. :)

Shake The World ~ Finding Favor

Sunday 1.26.14 Banner of Love

"This love is a burning flame, one voice calling out Your name.."

Love from God is the most powerful thing on the face of planet earth. It gives the power to forgive. It gives the power to self control. It gives the power to sacrifice. This love is our banner. It's the flag that we fly to show people who we are and what we stand for. It's the flag that pulls people of every color, and nation, and tribe, and tongue together. It is what we stand for. It's the flag that we raise. It's the banner we fly.

Love,
Rebekah

Sunday 1.19.14 ~ Life Is Beautiful [Sanctity of Life Part 1]

For those of you who didn't/don't know, this Sunday (the nineteenth) was Sanctity of Life Sunday
I wasn't sure what song I was going to pick for today, and was kind of jumping around You-Tube looking for something that 'spoke' to me, when I saw Life Is Beautiful by The Afters, and immediately remembered the sermon from this morning, therefore remembering that today is Sanctity of Life Sunday.

This song speaks perfectly about this subject. This term. The 'Sanctity of Life'.
 Merriam Webster defines sanctity as "The quality or state of being holy, very important, or valuable." I can't think of a better way to describe the word sanctity, especially when you are referring to life.

I plan to do another post later this week, talking further on the subject, and including a link to the pastor's sermon from earlier today. So, without further ado...

Life Is Beautiful ~ The Afters

Sunday 1.12.14 Losing

Isn't the way they did the lyrics just so cool!?!?!?!

A great reminder, that whatever we are going through, and however bad we feel, with God, we will never be losing.

Sunday 1.5.14 10,000 Reasons

And... This is the first post of the new year!!!! WOW! 'New Year' I've gotten used to. '2014' I have not. (I actually typed 2013 first instead of 2014....)

Anywho...

This song gives me goosebumps. Whatever I do, I want to give glory to God. I want to praise Him all day long. With my actions, my words. I want people to see God when they see me, and what better for that to happen, if I'm praising (or blessing) God with my every breath and move!

Chorus:
Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I worship Your holy name

The sun comes up; it's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes

 Chorus

You're rich in love and You're slow to anger
Your name is great and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness, I will keep on singing
10,000 reasons for my heart to find

 Chorus

And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending
10,000 years and then forever more

 Chorus (2x)
I worship Your holy name
I worship Your holy name

Sing like never before
O my soul
I worship Your holy name
I worship Your holy name
I worship Your holy name

10,000 Reasons ~ Matt Redman

Sunday 12.29.13 Words

Think of all the times someone had said something to you that brought you down to the ground. But all they said, was a bunch of words.
Think of all the times someone said something to you, that made you feel like you were several feet off the ground. All they said, was a bunch of words.
Think of all the times someone looked at you like you had just saved their life. But all you said was a bunch of words.

A picture is worth a thousand words.... But words still mean a lot.

Our words can lift others up to the highest of places. Or bring them down to the lowest of places. Our words are powerful.

This song says, "I don't want to speak a word unless it points the world back to you." While it's true, it's still so hard. (Especially this week...) ;)

But, wouldn't it be something if everything out of our mouths pointed the world back to Jesus?

Sunday 12.22.13 Scandal Of Grace

Grace, what have you done?
Murdered for me on that cross
Accused in absence of wrong
My sin washed away in your blood
Too much to make sense of it all
I know that your love breaks my fall
The scandal of grace, you died in my place
So my soul will live

Chorus:
Oh to be like you
Give all I have just to know you
Jesus, there's no one besides you
Forever the hope in my heart

Death, where is your sting?
Your power is as dead as my sin
The cross has taught me to live
In mercy, my heart now to sing
The day and it's trouble shall come
I know that your strength is enough
The scandal of grace, you died in my place
So my soul will live

Chorus

And it's all because of you, Jesus
It's all because of you, Jesus
It's all because of your love
And my soul will live

Chorus (x2)

 Oh to be like you
(To) Give all I have just to know you
Jesus, there's no one besides you



Grace is such a powerful thing. Because of God's grace, our lives are changed forever.

I love the first verse. It's just so powerful. I can't stop going over it in my head. :)
"Grace, what have you done?
Murdered for me on that cross...
Too much to make sense of it all
I know that your love breaks my fall
The scandal of grace, you died in my place..."
Oh! It gives me goose bumps!

What's you favorite part of the song?


Love,
Rebekah

Sunday 12.15.13 Jesus In Disguise

[Verse 1]
Ever get something in your head?
It's nothing you heard or something you read
Ever had a cut but you never saw a blade?
Brought to your knees, but you never prayed

[CHORUS]
Jesus in disguise, Jehovah passing by
The burden of a tear hanging in your eye
Jesus in disguise, a scar across the sky
You were looking for a king, you would never recognize
Jesus in disguise

[Verse 2]
Ever feel like you been somewhere before?
You hold the key, you know which door
Speak the word your lips have never known
Because your heart told you so

[CHORUS]
Jesus in disguise, Jehovah passing by
The burden of a tear, hanging in your eye
Jesus in disguise, a scar across the sky
You were looking for a king, you would never recognize
 Jesus in disguise

[Bridge]
So open my eyes wide as I can
Blind as I am, blind as I am (2x)

Jesus in disguise, Jesus in disguise
Jesus in disguise
(So open my eyes wide as I can
Blind as I am, Blind as I am)
Jesus in disguise
(So open my eyes wide as I can
Blind as I am, Blind as I am)




I just thought it was funny, that the site I copied the lyrics from had 'Jesus in disguise' written like this: 'Jesus in disgu-ah-hah-aah-ah-haa-ise'. Maybe that's just me, and it does make sense, but I still find it slightly funny. ;)

Sunday 11.24.13 Brandon Heath - Love Does

This one goes out
to the world of changers
Shining your light in the face of danger

Oh, Tell us what you know

 

You're a saint, you're a son,
you're a promise keeper
Bottom of the well,
still digging down deeper

Oh, How far you're gonna go?

 

Chasing down hope
moving on dreams
Taking that path
Maybe it'll lead you home

Maybe it won't

 

-CHORUS-
Nobody knows
why your heart is broken
Nobody cries
while your prayers are going up
But Love Does

Nobody walks
on the road you're paving
Nobody sees
all the souls you're saving
Oh,
But Love Does
Love Does
Love Does

 

This is for the one
in the frontline fighting
Ringing that bell
over everybody

Oh, Tell us what you know

 

Knocking down doors
in the midnight alley
Looking for life
in the dessert valley

Oh, How far you're gonna go?

 

Chasing down hope
moving on dreams
Taking that path
Maybe it'll lead you home
Maybe it don't

 

-CHORUS-
 

You're a renegade,
You're an outlaw
of love's crusade
And they don't know
who you are

They don't know,
They don't know but...

Love Does
I'm telling you
Love Does

 

Somebody knows,
somebody cries,
somebody feels,
Love Does

 

Somebody walks,
somebody sees,
somebody knows,
Love Does

Love Does

1 Corinthians 13:13 "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."

Sunday 11.17.13 His Kind of Love

There are no words, no phrase I could create
There is no melody that I could make
How do you sing about the love so deep
Without feeling like you missed something
I could try but I could not explain

His kind of love (His kind of love)
Is reckless for us
His kind of love is will never give up
‘Til the whole world knows how far He went to show
His kind of love
His kind of love

His kind of love
His kind of love

Tell me what kind of God would choose to save
The bruised, the broken, the sinners, the runaways
How do you ever try to comprehend this love that knows no limit
I could try but I could not explain

His kind of love (His kind of love)
Is reckless for us
His kind of love is will never give up
‘Til the whole world knows how far He went to show
His kind of love
His kind of love

His kind of love
His kind of love

This is our God
He is strong and His mercy is our song
He won’t stop chasing us
That’s just His kind of love

His kind of love
His kind of love

His kind of love (His kind of love)
Is reckless for us
His kind of love is will never give up
‘Til the whole world knows how far He went to show
His kind of love
His kind of love

His kind of love, His kind of love
His kind of love, His kind of love
This is our God, He is strong and His mercy is our song
His kind of love, His kind of love




As we love the kings and queens, as God starts working within us so that we change the world, we receive and give His kind of love.

Love,
Rebekah

Sunday 11.10.13 Starts With Me

Starts With Me by Tim Timmons

Once again, the lyrics are in the video. :) And I don't know why it has the link instead of the video.. :(

If you all remember the song from last week, the chorus was:

"Boys become kings, girls will be queens
Wrapped in Your majesty
When we love, when we love the least of these
Then they will be brave and free
Shout Your name in victory
When we love, when we love the least of these
When we love the least of these"

We can't be a change to them, we can't wrap them in His majesty, we can't set them free, we can't love them, unless we are changed first. The change that we make in the world, starts with the change in us. Hence the song, 'Starts With Me.'

Love,
Rebekah

Sunday 11.3.13 Audio Adrenaline - Kings & Queens

http://www.youtube.com/v/rAlE2EnUP5A?version=3&autohide=1&showinfo=1&feature=share&autohide=1&autoplay=1&attribution_tag=oL-VBY4a0fm6Jekg4LX4iA


Little hands, shoeless feet, lonely eyes looking back at me
Will we leave behind the innocent to grieve
On the road, on the run when their lives have only begun
These could be our daughters and our sons
Just like a drum I can hear their hearts beating
I know my God won’t let them be defeated
Every child has a dream to belong and be loved
Boys become kings, girls will be queens
Wrapped in your majesty
When we love, when we love the least of these
Then they will be brave and free, shout Your name in victory
When we love, when we love the least of these
When we love the least of these
Break our hearts once again, help us to remember when
We were only children hoping for a friend, won’t you look around
These are the lives that the world has forgotten
Waiting for doors of our hearts and our homes to open
If not us, who will be like Jesus to the least of these
If not us tell me who will be like Jesus, like Jesus
To the least of these
Boys become kings, girls will be queens
Wrapped in your majesty
When we love, when we love the least of these
Then they will be brave and free, shout Your name in victory
When we love, when we love the least of these
When we love the least of these
We will love the least of these


I'm not sure why only the link, and not the video popped up...

I LOVE this song! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this song!!! And the video just makes it so much more amazing! I adore the part at the end! :)

Hope you all had a wonderful Sunday!

Love,
Rebekah

Sunday 10.27.13 Unspoken- Lift My Life Up

Well, this has the lyrics in it, so it's rather redundant for me to put the lyrics down below..... :)

On one hand, it's so hard to sing this song and mean Every. Single. Word.
And on the other hand, how can you not?

This is my prayer. That not only God would have his way in me, but that he would remind me to be in surrender to Him ALL the time. And I'm sure he will. ;)

I lift my life, lift my life up
I give it all in surrender
I lift my heart, lift my heart up
You can have it forever
All my dreams, all my plans
Lord I leave it in your hands
I lift my life, lift my life up
Have your way in me
Have your way in me

Hope you all had a wonderful Sunday everyone. :)

Love,
Rebekah
