The Finale: Lyric Mashup

Image
Well, how about we land this plane? I truly hope you enjoyed the lyrics I've posted these last few weeks. I've been believing that someone's soul was reached like mine has been. If only I could have Anthem Lights  create an acoustic vocal mashup from the following songs... YouTube link to each song following the lyrics. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The weapon may be formed, but it won't prosper When the darkness falls, it won't prevail 'Cause the God I serve knows only how to triumph My God will never fail Oh, my God will never fail You take what the enemy meant for evil And You turn it for good See A Victory -Elevation Worship ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Though the winter is long even richer The harvest it brings Though my waiting prolongs even greater Your promise for me like a seed I believe that my season will come Then if You're not done work

that part just wrecks me -Hillsong UNITED Part Three

Part Three: Continuing on the Hillsong part of my playlist. I'm almost done with this whole playlist thing so sit tight for a couple more and we'll be back to the regularly scheduled programming. This song spoke to me about a battle that's been raging in my mind for awhile. I've written and erased words here for about an hour now, so in light of why I started this whole thing with lyrics, I'm going to let them do the talking  writing. I can imagine if we all got real serious about God's love for us, "it's a grace (we) can never add up". photo cred: my four year old As You Find Me -Hillsong UNITED I've been strong And I've been broken within a moment I've been faithful And I've been reckless at every bend I've held everything together And watched it shatter I've stood tall and I have crumbled In the same breath I have wrestled And I have trembled toward surrender Chased my heart adrift And dri

Hillsong UNITED Part Two-UPDATED

Image
There's something about nature's raw beauty that speaks to my soul. I don't think I'm alone in that. Something unexplainable. Can take your breath away.  This song is another newer song by Hillsong UNITED.  I just love the rawness of the lyrics. They speak to my soul. Like a beautiful sunrise/sunset. "Like the world is unraveling and I'm bound to come undone." Sunset from my backyard Starts and Ends -Hillsong UNITED My soul thirsts for things I can't explain In my bones a beckoning to pray If my heart is a battleground My defenses run both ways The flesh is a beggar and thief But there is a Spirit-man awakening me When real life and peace won't make amends When all these starts Start feeling like these ends Like the world is unraveling And I'm bound to come undone There is a Shepherd a Priest There is a Comforter who comforts me And my soul finds rest Where it makes no sense There the blood sets me free Al

SOS

A good friend text me the link to this song after reading my post with the New Wine   lyrics. It spoke to her during some dark times. Definitely on my playlist! Spoke to me in the darkness too my friend. Rescue -Lauren Daigle You are not hidden There's never been a moment You were forgotten You are not hopeless Though you have been broken Your innocence stolen I hear you whisper underneath your breath I hear your SOS, your SOS I will send out an army to find you In the middle of the darkest night It's true, I will rescue you There is no distance That cannot be covered Over and over You're not defenseless I'll be your shelter I'll be your armor I hear you whisper underneath your breath I hear your SOS, your SOS I will send out an army to find you In the middle of the darkest night It's true, I will rescue you I will never stop marching to reach you In the middle of the hardest fight It's true, I will rescue you I h

Never Alone- Hillsong Part One

Image
Sorry for the delay. I was experiencing technical difficulties attempting to post lyrics of two songs on the same post... First time driving "off-road". Feeling tough Another part of my rescue story is definitely the relationships I’ve made in the past year (separate  post to come on some of that). I've realized now that I'm a "communal living" type of person. I've never really LOVED being alone. Truth can hurt. I believe now that God needed to get me into the desert alone. I was leaning on other relationships too much. I don’t want to discount the good friends I’ve had for a long time. I’m so grateful for the many friendships I have. But there never seemed to be enough time for the real, heavy, deep stuff to come to the surface. We (as in society) are too distracted, busy, hurried, and searching for something somewhere else. In the last year I’ve become closer to friends I already had and have met some new people that I can’t imagine m

A Little Faith is All I Have Right Now

Not going to add much background to this one. The lyrics seem to be enough to understand why it's on my "playlist". Four Peaks and Sunrise from my bedroom Even If -Mercy Me They say sometimes you win some Sometimes you lose some And right now, I'm losing bad I've stood on this stage night after night Reminding the broken it'll be alright But right now, oh right now I just can't It's easy to sing Where there's nothing to bring me down But what will I say When I'm held to the flame Like I am right now I know You're able and I know You can Save through the fire with Your mighty hand But even if You don't My hope is You alone They say it only takes a little faith To move a mountain Well, good thing A little faith is all I have right now But God, when You choose To leave mountains unmovable Give me the strength to be able to sing It is well with my soul I know You're able and I know you can Save thro

Nothing Else Will Do

A few months ago, we took our oldest daughter (4) to her first concert (singers of the song Here Again  from my   last post ). This singer/songwriter opened. Nothing Else -Cody Carnes I'm caught up in this holy moment I never want to leave Oh, I'm not here for blessings Jesus, You don't owe me anything More than anything that You can do I just want You I'm sorry when I've just gone through the motions I'm sorry when I just sang another song Take me back to where we started I open up my heart to You I'm sorry when I've come with my agenda I'm sorry when I forgot that You're enough Take me back to where we started I open up my heart to You I'm caught up in Your presence I just want to sit here at Your feet I'm caught up in this holy moment I never want to leave Oh, I'm not here for blessings Jesus, You don't owe me anything And more than anything that You can do I just want You I just want You

What Really Needs Rescuing?

My rescue story is not a complicated one. It began out of desperation. While I continue to pursue physical healing, I have made a decision to be congenial to the refiner's fire. Flying over Greenland on the way home from Europe Next on my playlist is a song I first heard about a year ago as well. I needed the truth of the lyrics and initially, I didn't have a clue how much. The night before my second procedure in Poland, my husband went out with Jan for a couple hours to catch a break from another long day with the girls. After I put the girls to bed, I stepped into my own "Garden of Gesthemane". This was one of the songs that I played over and over and over. And continue to do so. Here Again-Elevation Worship Can't go back to the beginning Can't control what tomorrow will bring But I know here in the middle Is the place where you promise to be I'm not enough, unless You come Will You meet me here again 'Cause all I want, is al
