loving these songs....

embracing accusation, by shane and shane

the father of lies
coming to steal
kill and destroy
all my hopes of being good enough
i hear him saying cursed are the ones
who can’t abide
he’s right
alleluia he’s right!

the devil is preaching
the song of the redeemed
that I am cursed and gone astray
i cannot gain salvation
embracing accusation

could the father of lies
be telling the truth
of God to me tonight?
if the penalty of sin is death
then death is mine
i hear him saying cursed are the ones
who can’t abide
he’s right
alleluia he’s right!

oh the devil’s singing over me
an age old song
that I am cursed and gone astray
singing the first verse so conveniently
he’s forgotten the refrain

Jesus saves!

second chance, by hillsong united

you called my name
reached out Your hand
restored my life
and i was redeemed

the moment You entered my life
amazing grace
Christ gave that day
my life was changed
when from my shoulders
fell the weight of my sin

so it’s with everything i am
i reach out for Your hand
the hope for change
the second chance
i’ve gained

on You i throw my life
casting all my fears aside
how could greater love than this
ever possibly exist

consume my thoughts
as i rest in You
i’m now in love
with a Saviour
bearing the marks of His love

so i’ll wait upon You now
with my hands released to You
where a little faith’s enough
to see mountains lift and move

and i’ll wait upon You now
dedicated to Your will
to this love that will remain
a love that never fails

happy new year! and....a quarter of a century

happy new year, my friends! i hope you celebrated in a fun way and were with people you love :) i was able to see some friends i never get to see new year's eve...and then was back at my parents' house by around 10:15...and was in bed by 11:30.... i did not stay awake to welcome in 2010, but i'm ok with that :) in other news, i'll be a quarter of a century old in a week. 25... i'm not one to freak out about my age (at least not yet) but 25 is a good year, i think. and in honor of my turning 25, i've decided to make lists of 25. because it'll be fun, and who doesn't love a good list? and because i spent yesterday traveling, the first list is a travel list, but is by no means complete or comprehensive....there's no way i could make a full list of everywhere i've been or would like to go.... so, enjoy!! 25 places i've traveled or would like to travel (red = where i've been, blue = where i'd like to go) 1. new orleans,...

Over the Cliff

In the middle of Prince Caspian, there's a moment. Lucy has seen Aslan, but no one else has, and Aslan's told her she has to follow, whether anyone else does or not. Fortunately, they all agree to go with her. As the set off, she's the only one who can see Him, and she's leading everyone else. "He led them to the right of the dancing trees -- whether they were still dancing nobody knew, for Lucy had her eyes on the Lion and the rest had their eyes on Lucy -- and nearer the edge of the gorge...for a long way Aslan went along the top of the precipices. Then they came to a place where some little trees grew right on the edge. He turned and disappeared among them. Lucy held her breath, for it looked as if he had plunged over the cliff..." Recently, I feel as if I've been following Jesus and He's disappeared, plunged right over the cliff. ********************* Last fall, I began thinking about words for 2017. I love the idea of claimin...
