Then Sings My Soul Sunday #6

Like a River Glorious
Frances R. Havergal, 1876

Like a river glorious is God’s perfect peace,
Over all victorious, in its bright increase;
Perfect, yet it floweth fuller every day,
Perfect, yet it groweth deeper all the way.

Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest
Finding, as He promised, perfect peace and rest

Hidden in the hollow of His blessed hand,
Never foe can follow, never traitor stand;
Not a surge of worry, not a shade of care,
Not a blast of hurry touch the spirit there.

Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest
Finding, as He promised, perfect peace and rest

Every joy or trial falleth from above,
Traced upon our dial by the Sun of Love;
We may trust Him fully all for us to do;
They who trust Him wholly find Him wholly true.

Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest
Finding, as He promised, perfect peace and rest

We were in Gatlinburg TN for this years Easter Sunday, so we visited the First Baptist Church there in Gatlinburg. There Pastor was talking about the Easter story and how everything looked different the morning when Christ arose.. and this song kept running though my head so it is going to be my then sings my soul song of the week.

Then Came The Morning.

They all walked away, with nothing to say,
They'd just lost their dearest friend.
All that He said, now He was dead,
So this was the way it would end.
The dreams they had dreamed were not what they'd seemed,
Now that He was dead and gone.
The garden, the jail, the hammer, the nail,
How could a night be so long.

Then came the morning, night turned into day;
The stone was rolled away, hope rose with the dawn.
Then came the morning, shadows vanished before the sun,
Death had lost and life had won, for morning had come.

The angel, the star, the kings from afar,
The wedding, the water, the wine.
Now it was done, they'd taken her son,
Wasted before his time.
She knew it was true, she'd watched him die too,
She'd heard them call Him just a man,
But deep in her heart, she knew from the start,
Somehow her Son would live again.

Then came the morning, night turned into day;
The stone was rolled away, hope rose with the dawn.
Then came the morning, shadows vanished before the sun,
Death had lost and life had won, for morning had come.

Then came the morning, shadows vanished before the sun,
Death had lost and life had won, for morning had come.

Morning had come.

Today in Church we were studying John 4 again, we have been there a few but, today while reading it this song popped into my head and got stuck there.

Fill My Cup, Lord
Words and Music by Richard Blanshard

Like the woman at the well I was seeking
For things that could not satisfy:
And then I heard my Savior speaking:
"Draw from my well that never shall run dry".

Chorus
Fill my cup Lord,
I lift it up, Lord!
Come and quench this thirsting of my soul;
Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more
Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole!
There are millions in this world who are craving
The pleasures earthly things afford;
But none can match the wondrous treasure
That I find in Jesus Christ my Lord.


Chorus
Fill my cup Lord,
I lift it up, Lord!
Come and quench this thirsting of my soul;
Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more
Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole!

While doing my Bible Study Saturday night I read Ps. 139:23 &24

After reading it the song by James Orr written back in 1936 kept running though my head... I love this song.. So It is going to be the song for Then Sings My Soul Sunday this week..

Search me O God.

Search me, O God, and know my heart today,
Try me, O Savior, know my thoughts, I pray;
See if there be some wicked way in me;
Cleanse me from every sin, and set me free.

I praise Thee, Lord, for cleansing me from sin;
Fulfill Thy word and make me pure within;
Fill me with fire, where once I burned with shame;
Grant my desire to magnify Thy name.

Lord, take my life, and make it wholly Thine;
Fill my poor heart with Thy great love divine;
Take all my will, my passion, self and pride;
I now surrender, Lord, in me abide.

O Holy Ghost, revival comes from Thee;
Send a revival, start the work in me;
Thy Word declares Thou wilt supply our need;
For blessings now, O Lord, I humbly plead.

Then Sings My Soul Sunday #2

I heard this song for the 1st time on Saturday and It has been stuck in my head ever since so I thought I would post it today.

Let The Waters Rise by Mikeschair

Don't know where to begin
Its like my world's caving in
And I try but I can't control my fear
Where do I go from here?

sometimes its so hard to pray
When You feel so far away
But I am willing to go
Where you want me to
God, I trust You

There's a raging sea
Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in
Bring me to my knees
So let the waters rise
If You want them to
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will follow You

I will swim in the deep
'Cuz You'll be next to me
You're in the eye of the storm
And the calm of the sea
You'll never out of reach

God, You know where I've been
You were there with me then
You were faithful before
You'll be faithful again
I'm holding Your hand

There's a raging sea
Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in
Bring me to my knees
So let the waters rise
If You want them to
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will follow You

God Your love is enough
You will pull me through
I'm holding onto You
God Your love is enough
I will follow You
I will follow You

Ohhh

There's a raging sea
Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in
Bring me to my knees
So let the waters rise
If You want them to
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will follow You

Ohhh

Then Sings my Soul is a weekly meme, where you just share a song that has touched your heart during the week. If you would like to play along or if God has touched your heart with song this week.. Please post it at your blog and leave me a comment so I know to go view it.

I have done Then Sings My Soul 3 times last year but since it is a new year we are starting over with #1

This weeks Song is..... How Great Thou Art..

It has been stuck in my head all day long since I have been thinking of this post.. so here is it.

How Great Thou Art

by Carl G. Boberg and R.J. Hughes

Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,

Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,

Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,

How great Thou art, How great Thou art.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,

How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;

Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;

That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,

He bled and died to take away my sin.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,

And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.

Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,

And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

First post of 2010

The goal for 2010 was a post a day and I'm already behind on that.. Stayed up way to late on Dec 31,09 to even remember to just get on and post Happy New Years on Jan 1, 2010.
So let me start by saying Happy New Years to all my one reader out there.. Hopefully in 2010 I can get my blog back up to where it was before I found facebook :-)
Thursday when I posted I gave you what I had been up to the past 13 days.. Today I"m going to post the pictures from #2 and #4 of those 13 ... If you had missed that post you can go view it here
Sunday December 20,09 Candle light service and dessert fellowship at church.

Tuesday December 22, 09 the day I worked as the parent helper in Little Man's preschool for there Christmas party.

I'm sure I mentioned that my younger three are in TX.. They left here on December 26,09. Please keep them and my parents in your prayers as they left today to drive those 20 some hours back home.. I'm starting to miss my babies.. but Princess and her friends have kept me so busy that it really hasn't seemed like they been gone very long.
Thinking out loud here I don't know what sort of blogging meme's I'll end up doing in 2010.. but I think I'm going to stick to the two that I have been trying to do here at my blog.. On Sunday will be Then Sings my Soul.. I started that one because it seems some song always sticks with me and touches my heart on Sunday morning during Church so I just started typing them out when I got home.. feel free to join along it doesn't have to be something from that Sunday just a song that touched your heart that you want to share.. Though chances are this post of mine won't get up till Sunday afternoon.. just in case your wondering.. Then I think I'll keep doing my From Gods Word Friday.. I enjoys those ones.. I just use whatever verses God lays on my heart at the moment.. Most the time they come from one of the days Bible reading from the week, but at other times God just places a verse in my mind and heart and I just post it.. Your all invited to join along in that also, if God lays something on you heart post it and then come back and comment so I know to go read it.. I don't think I'll use Mr Linky on these unless we start having a lot of people join in .
Other wise I just hope to get you all caught up with my life and pictures and what is going on.. and then hopefully stay caught up.. AND!!!!! get back to stopping by and reading your blogs.. been missing my blogging friends :-)

Well that is it for today.. Happy 2010 to you all.

Count Your Blessings
Johnson Oatman, Jr.

When upon life’s billows you are tempest-tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God hath done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,
And you will keep singing as the days go by.

Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God hath done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

When you look at others with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;
Count your many blessings—wealth can never buy
Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.

Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God hath done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

So, amid the conflict whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.

Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God hath done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Then Sings my Soul week #2

The Light of the World is Jesus

The whole world was lost in the darkness of sin;
The Light of the world is Jesus;
Like sunshine at noonday His glory shone in;
The Light of the world is Jesus.

Come to the Light, 'tis shining for thee!
Sweetly the Light has dawned upon me;
Once I was blind, but now I can see;
The Light of the world is Jesus.

No darkness have we who in Jesus abide;
The Light of the world is Jesus;
We walk in the Light when we follow our Guide;
The Light of the world is Jesus.

Come to the Light, 'tis shining for thee!
Sweetly the Light has dawned upon me;
Once I was blind, but now I can see;
The Light of the world is Jesus.

Ye dwellers in darkness with sin-blinded eyes;
The Light of the world is Jesus;
Go wash at His bidding and light will arise;
The Light of the world is Jesus.

Come to the Light, 'tis shining for thee!
Sweetly the Light has dawned upon me;
Once I was blind, but now I can see;
The Light of the world is Jesus.

No need of the sunlight in heaven, we're told;
The Light of the world is Jesus;
The Lamb is the Light in the City of Gold;
The Light of the world is Jesus.

Come to the Light, 'tis shining for thee!
Sweetly the Light has dawned upon me;
Once I was blind, but now I can see;
The Light of the world is Jesus.

Then Sings My Soul Sunday. week 1

I can't really remember if I saw this done in the past years of blogging or not.. I think I did but I tried to look it up and I couldn't find it anywhere. So if anyone remembers if there was a blogging thing called Then Sings My Soul.. Let me know where it is.. In any case it seemed like a good name for what I am going to do.
Today while in church and we were singing all the songs were so powerful and just totally got your heart into a right place to receive Gods word. The song that stuck with me all day today was The Wonder of it All.. So I thought I would share it with you.

The Wonder Of it All.

There’s the wonder at sunset at evening
The wondrous sunrise I see
But the wonder of wonders that thrills my soul
Is the wonder that God loves me

The wonder of it all
The wonder of it all
Just to think that God loves me
Oh the wonder of it all
The wonder of it all
Just to think that God loves me

There’s the wonder of spring time and harvest
The sky, the stars, the sun
But the wonder of wonders that thrills my soul
Is the wonder that’s only begun

The wonder of it all
The wonder of it all
Just to think that God loves me
Oh the wonder of it all
The wonder of it all
Just to think that God loves me
