I know You're there.......

The wonderful Lindsay led worship the other week and used a song by Casting Crowns called 'East to West' the words were just so powerful and spoke to me so clearly, especially the chorus:

"Jesus can you show me just how far the east is from the west

‘Cause I can’t bear to see the man I’ve been Rising up in me again

In the arms of Your mercy I find rest

‘Cause You know just how far the east is from the west

From one scarred hand to the other"

The words circled around in my mind for ages, so I went out and bought the album, which I have been listening to over and over again. It is just so amazing and is speaking into areas of my life which I didn't realise needed looking at. A song on the album titled 'I know You're there' is one which has completely lifted me this evening and renewed my energy and hunger for God, but also strengthened me to carry out His will. This song has been my prayer to God tonight.

"If all I had was one last breath

I'd spend it just to sing Your praise

Just to say Your name

If all I had was one last prayer

I'd pray it 'cause I know You're always listening

If I could live a thousand lives, bind the hands of time

I would spend every moment by Your side

'cause I, I know You're there,

I know You see me

You're the air I breathe

You are the ground beneath me

I know You're there,

I know You hear me

I can find You anywhere

If all I had was one more song to sing

I would raise my voice to make the heavens ring

If all I had was one last chance, I'd take it

I would stake it all on You

If I could raise up high and catch a glimpse of every eye

I would make them believe

What I feel inside"

Lord You're Holy.......

I have been reflecting in many things this week and a real song of meditation and amazing worship for me has been Karen Wheaton "Lord You're Holy" . I was introduced to it at Kingdom Faith by Jane Urquhart at an amazing women's conference I attended there. The Lyrics are just awesome which is why I wanted to share them with you. Lord You’re holy, Lord You’re holy and we lift You up and magnify Your name I look around and I see, All the works Your hands have made, The awesomeness of You, And how Your love will never fade, Mere words cannot express what I feel inside, I can’t describe Your glory divine, But as a token of my love, This is what I’ll do, I lift my hands and cry, Lord You’re holy, Lord You’re holy and we lift You up and magnify Your name There’s not enough words that I can say, To tell You how much, I appreciate, all the wonderful things, You’ve given me, Your love and kindness, Your tender mercies, It’s my desire, to praise You and to tell You how much,...

Channel Four.......

This evening I watched a programme called 'The Virgin Daughters" on channel four. It was all about purity and sex before marriage. I have to be truthful it totally freaked me. I really believe that marriage is sacred and an act that shouldn't be taken into lightly, I also whole- heartedly believe that you should save yourself for marriage. Saving yourself however I don't believe means you cant hold hands or kiss. God isn't going to be upset with you because you kissed a boy at the age of 15, you aren't going to be unclean for holding someone of the opposites sex hand. It makes me think what impression are we giving to younger non-Christians, 'if you become a Christian you cant hold you boyfriend/girlfriends hand until you're married'; that is insane and frankly I don't think 98% of young people will buy into. Also no offense to my Dad, however I don't want him to pick my future husband. If my previous boyfriends asked my Dads permissi...

Live for each day!!!
