Lyrics of the Day!

Testify To Love

Avalon - Testify To Love

All the colors of the rainbow
All of voices of the wind
Every dream that reaches out
That reaches out to find where love begins
Every word of every story
Every star in every sky
Every corner of creation lives to testify

For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences when words are not enough
With every breath I take I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love


From the mountains to the valleys
From the rivers to the sea
Every hand that reaches out
Every hand that reaches out to offer peace
Every simple act of mercy
Every step to kingdom come
All the Hope in every heart will speak what love has done

Chorus

Here is a good one for you:

If We Are The Body Lyrics
Artist(Band):Casting CROWNS


It's crowded in worship today
As she slips in
Trying to fade into the faces
The girls' teasing laughter is carrying farther than they know
Farther than they know

CHORUS
But if we are the Body
Why aren't His arms reaching
Why aren't His hands healing
Why aren't His words teaching
And if we are the Body
Why aren't His feet going
Why is His love not showing them there is a way
There is a way

A traveler is far away from home
He sheds his coat
And quietly sinks into the back row
The weight of their judgmental glances tells him that his chances
Are better out on the road

CHORUS
But if we are the Body
Why aren't His arms reaching
Why aren't His hands healing
Why aren't His words teaching
And if we are the Body
Why aren't His feet going
Why is His love not showing them there is a way

Jesus paid much too high a price
For us to pick and choose who should come
And we are the Body of Christ

Chorus (2x)
If we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching
Why aren't His hands healing
Why aren't His words teaching
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going
Why is His love not showing them there is a way

Jesus is the way
 
Here's one of my favorites:

The Old Account Was Settled

Words & Music: Frank H. Graham, 1902

There was a time on earth, when in the book of Heav’n
An old account was standing for sins yet unforgiv’n;
My name was at the top, and many things below,
I went unto the Keeper, and settled long ago.

Refrain

Long ago (down on my knees), long ago (I settled it all),
Yes, the old account was settled long ago (Hallelujah!);
And the record’s clear today, for He washed my sins away,
When the old account was settled long ago.



The old account was large, and growing every day,
For I was always sinning, and never tried to pay;
But when I looked ahead, and saw such pain and woe,
I said that I would settle, I settled long ago.

Refrain

When at the Judgment Bar, I stand before my King,
And He, the book will open and cannot find a thing,
Then my heart will be glad, while tears of joy will flow,
Because I had it settled, and settled it long ago.

Refrain

O sinner, seek the Lord, repent of all your sin,
For thus He has commanded if you will enter in;
And then if you should live a hundred years below,
Up there you’ll not regret it, you settled long ago.

Refrain
 
king without a crown - matisyahu [album: youth]

You're all that I have and you're all that I need
Each and every day I pray to get to know you please
I want to be close to you, yes I'm so hungry
You're like water for my soul when it gets thirsty
Without you there's no me
You're the air that I breathe
Sometimes the world is dark and I just can't see
With these, demons surround all around to bring me down to negativity
But I believe, yes I believe, I said I believe
I'll stand on my own two feet
Won't be brought down on one knee
Fight with all of my might and get these demons to flee
Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe
Out of darkness comes light, twilight unto the heights
Crown Heights burnin' up all through till midnight
Said, thank you to my God, now I finally got it right
And I'll fight with all of my heart, and all a' my soul, and all a' my might

[Chorus] x 2
What's this feeling?
My love will rip a hole in the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being
& I Sing to my God all these songs of love and healing
Want Mashiach now so it's time we start revealing

Strip away the layers and reveal your soul
Got to give yourself up and then you become whole
You're a slave to yourself and you don't even know
You want to live the fast life but your brain moves slow
If you're trying to stay high then you're bound to stay low
You want God but you can't deflate your ego
If you're already there then there's nowhere to go
If you're cup's already full then its bound to overflow
If you're drowning in the waters and you can't stay afloat
Ask Hashem for mercy and he'll throw you a rope
You're looking for help from God you say he couldn't be found
Looking up to the sky and searchin' beneath the ground
Like a King without his Crown
Yes, you keep fallin' down
You really want to live but can't get rid of your frown
You tried to reach unto the heights and wound bound down on the ground
Given up your pride and the you heard a sound
Out of night comes day and out of day comes light
Nullified to the One like sunlight in a ray,
Makin' room for his love and a fire gone blaze
Make room for his love and a fire gone blaze

What's this feeling?
My love will rip a hole in the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being
& I sing to my God all these songs of love and healing
I want Mashiach now
 
Life in Jesus - Herbz

(Myspace link - http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=52923840)

Possess me holy spirit,
Let your fire burn.
Surrounded by you Jesus,
Living by your word.
A master piece in progress,
Life no other way.
A well of living water,
Overflows again.

Know that it's within me,
I will lay it down.
To live a life that's worth living,
in a world that holds me down.

And Life in Jesus,
I give mine away.
I lay it down, lay it down, lay it down.

And I sing, Life in Jesus,
Take mine away,
I lay it down, lay it down, lay it down.

Give this song a listen, it's amazing!
 
Newest favorite song

No one knew how alone I was feeling,
And the emptiness I tried so hard to hide
Though I laughed and said my life was fine without You,
I was covering up the secret tears I cried
Then one day someone told me of Your mercy
And the love You showed on a hill called Calvary
There you died and purchased my redemption
When you broke sin’s power and set my spirit free

Chorus
I’m amazed that you love me
I’m amazed how you care
Through your precious blood,
I’ve found pardon
And my sins are washed,
They’re all washed away
All my sins are washed away

It’s true there have been days when I’ve failed You
Lord, you know the many times I’ve gone astray
But I’ve learned that Your love is stronger than my weakness
And your ear is open every time I pray.
No one else has ever cared for me like You, Lord
Other friends could never be as close to me
I’m not afraid to face the problems of tomorrow
Knowing You are everything I’ll ever need

Who's saying His arms aren't reaching, His hands healing, His words teaching or His feet going???

In a world with over 1 billion professing christians only a small % are- if all who are called by His Name act the world will be turned upside down-
 
Lifesong

Empty hands held high
Such small sacrifice
If not joined with my life
I sing in vain tonight

May the words I say
And the things I do
Make my lifesong sing
Bring a smile to You

Chorus:
Let my lifesong sing to You
Let my lifesong sing to You
I want to sign your name to the end of this day
Knowing that my heart was true
Let my lifesong sing to You

Lord, I give my life
A living sacrafice
To reach a world in need
To be Your hands and feet

So may the words I say
And the things I do make my lifesong sing
Bring a smile to you

(Chorus)

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Let my lifesong sing to You
(2x)

(Chorus 2x)
 
Cry Out to Jesus - Third Day

To everyone who's lost someone they love
Long before it was their time
You feel like the days you had were not enough
When you said goodbye

And to all of the people with burdens and pains
Keeping you back from your life
You believe that there is nothing and there is no one
Who can make it right


CHORUS
There is hope for the helpless, rest for the weary
And love for the broken heart
There is grace and forgiveness
Mercy and healing
He'll meet you whever you are
Cry out to jesus, Cry out to Jesus

For the marriage that is struggling just to hang on
They've lost all of their faith in love
They've done all they can to make it right again
Still it's not enough

For the one's who can't break the addictions and chains
Try to give up but you come back again
Just remember that you're not alone in your shame and your suffering

Chorus

Bridge -
When you're lonely and it feels like the whole world is falling on you
You just reach out, you just cry out to Jesus, cry to Jesus

To the widow who suffers from being alone
Wiping the tears from her eyes
To the children around the world, without a home
Say a prayer tonight

Chorus
 
Artist: Relient K
Song: For The Moments I Feel Faint

Am I at the point of no improvement?
What of the death I still dwell in?
I try to excel, but I feel no movement.
Can I be free of this unreleasable sin?

Never underestimate my Jesus.
You're telling me that there's no hope.
I'm telling you, you're wrong.
Never underestimate my Jesus.
When the world around you crumbles,
he will be strong.
He will be strong.

I throw up my hands.
"Oh, the impossibilities."
Frustrated and tired,
where do I go from here?
Now I'm searching for the confidence I've lost so willingly.
Overcoming these obstacles is overcoming my fears.

I think I can't, I think I can't.
But, I think you can, I think you can.
I think I can't, I think I can't.
But, I think you can, I think you can.
Gather my insufficiencies and place them in your hands.
Place them in your hands.
Place them in your hands.

Never underestimate my Jesus.
You're telling me that there's no hope.
I'm telling you, you're wrong.
Never underestimate my Jesus.
When the world around you crumbles,
he will be strong.
He will be strong.

God Bless,

Rob
 
Thanks Rob! Here is one I dug out of the archives- it is a song of a man deep in trail but strong in faith- his name was King David


Lord how are they increased that trouble me
Many are they that rise up against me
Many there be that say of my soul
There is no help for him in God.
Chorus:
But thou oh Lord are a shield for me
My glory, you lift my head
But thou oh Lord are a shield for me
You're my glory, the lifter up of my head.
I cried to the Lord with my voice,
And he heard me out of his Holy hill.
I laid me down... and I slept
I wait for the Lord to save me.
Chorus:
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people
That set themselves against me round about (x 2)
Chorus: x 2 with emosulation;
Tab:
Thank you for lifting (x3) my head
Thank you for lifting my head
Thank you for lifting (x3) my head
Chorus:
Lead end; you Lord are my glory, you lift my head.​
 
Post your Songs here

Forgive me if this has already been done, but I couldn't find a topic like this. Just post any lyrics that are stuck on your heart. I know a lot of my life has a soundtrack playing in the background, so sometimes I just need a way to express them. I'm not going to "require" them to be by openly Christian bands, but I do insist that they be clean and appropriate for this site, and consistent with Christian ideals.

Chris Rice - Naive said:
How long until You defend Your name
and set the record right?
How far will you allow the human race
to run and hide? Yeah.
And how much can You tolerate our weaknesses
Before You step into our sky blue and say
"that's quite enough"

Am I naive to want a remedy
for every bitter heart?
Can I believe You hold an
exclamation point for every question mark? Yeah.
And can I leave the timing of this universe
to bigger hands?
And may I be so bold to ask
You to please hurry?

I hear that a God who's good
would never let the evil
run so long
But I say it's because You're good
You're giving us more time
'Cause I believe that You love to show us mercy
But when will You step into our sky blue and say
"that's quite enough, and your time is up" Yeah.

repeat chorus

Am I naive?
Can I believe?
And can I leave in bigger hands?
And may I be so bold to ask You, to ask You,
to ask You
How long?
 
I need to be still

I Need to be Still

[SIZE=+0]I need to be stiIl and let God love me
I need to be still and let God love me
When this old world starts to push and shove me
I need to be still and let God love me

I need to relax and let God take over
I need to relax and let God take over
He'll take this load off my shoulders
I need to relax and let God take over

When there's sorrow all around me
And I need a place of resr rest
When I feel that I'm failing
Even though I've done my best
When decisions get so heavy
And there are answers that I need
I know it's time to just be still and let
God love me

I need to be still and let God love me
I need to be still and let God love me
When this old world starts to push and shove me
I need to be still and let God love me

I need to be still and let God love me
I need to be still and let God love me
When this old world starts to push and shove me
I need to be still and let God love me

Beauty For Ashes
Crystal Lewis -


Isaiah 61:3
To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

He gives beauty for ashes
Strength for fear
Gladness for mourning
Peace for despair

When sorrow seems to surround you
When suffering hangs heavy o'er your head
Know that tomorrow brings
Wholeness and healing
God knows your need
Just believe what He said

He gives beauty for ashes
Strength for fear
Gladness for mourning
Peace for despair

When what you've done keeps you from moving on
When fear wants to make itself at home in your heart
Know that forgiveness brings
Wholeness and healing
God knows your need
Just believe what He said

He gives beauty for ashes
Strength for fear
Gladness for mourning
Peace for despair

I once was lost but God has found me
Though I was bound Ive been set free
Ive been made righteous in His sight
A display of His splendor all can see

He gives beauty for ashes
Strength for fear
Gladness for mourning
Peace for despair

Dust in Wind Lyrics from Kansas


I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind.
Same old [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]song[/COLOR][/COLOR], just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind

[Now] Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy.

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind, everything is dust in the wind.


 
Jesus Freak
~Dc Talk.

Separated I cut myself clean
From a past that comes back in my darkest of dreams
Been apprehended by a spiritual force
And a grace that replaced all the me I've divorced

I saw a man with a tat on his big fat belly
It wiggled around like marmalade jelly
It took me a while to catch what it said
Cause I had to match the rhythm of his belly with my head
Jesus saves is what it raved in a typical tattoo green
He stood on a box in the middle of the city and claimed he had adream

What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus Freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus Freak
Cause there ain't no disguising the truth

Kamikaze my death it is gain
I've been marked by my maker a peculiar display
The high and lofty they see me as weak
Cause I won't live and die for the power they seek

There was a man from the desert with naps in his head
The sand that he walked was also his bed
The words that he spoke made the people assume
There wasn't too much left in the upper room
With scabs on his back and hair on his face
They thought he was strange by the locusts he ate
The Pharisee's tripped when they heared him speak
Until the king took the head of this Jesus Freak

What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus Freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they lable me a Jesus Freak
Cause there ain't no disguising the truth

What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus Freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they lable me a Jesus Freak
Cause there ain't no disguising the truth

People say I'm strange does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger
People say I'm strang does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger

What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus Freak
What will poeple do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus Freak
Cause there ain't no disguising the truth

What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus Freak
What will poeple do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they lable me a Jesus Freak
Cause there ain't no disguising the truth

What will people think
What will people think
What will people do
What will people do
I don't really care
What else can I say
Cause there ain't no disguising the truth
Jesus is the way
 
I really love songs that just shout out praises to Him...ones that drive a beat and can bring tears of complete joy to my eyes while I'm worshipping. I can dance, throw my hands into the air, sing at the top of my lungs and just feel his presence.
