Better Than Life

Sometimes lyrics can say it better...

"My God how can it be, that You would love someone like me?
Just a sinner in a saint's disguise, but You've opened up my eyes...
and now I realize:
Your Love is better than life, Your Love is deeper than the seas,
more beautiful than any of the things surrounding me.
You are everything I need, and more than I desire,
Your Love is better than life, Your Love is better than life.

It takes my breath away, to think of the mistakes I've made,
and know that You have washed me clean, that You're still at work in me...
Oh this is why I sing:
Your Love is better than life, Your love is deeper than the seas,
more beautiful than any of the things surrounding me.
You are everything I need, and more than I desire,
Your Love is better than life, Your Love is better than life.

Better than a smile, better than a kiss, better than any of the things I think I'll miss.
Your Love is better than life, deeper than the seas,
more beautiful than any of the things surrounding me.
You are everything I need, and more than I desire,
Your Love is better than life, Your Love is better than life.
Better than life."

Bring The Rain

As I post this song, I have to remember it is just that...a song, because I do struggle, I do question, but by the grace of God I remain His. He holds me by His Righteous Right Hand, and whatever He brings, He promises to use for His glory and honor. He never wastes anything!



"I can count a million times people asking me why I can praise you with all that I've gone through. The question just amazes me, can circumstances possibly change who I forever am in You?

Maybe since my life has changed, long before these rainy days it's never really ever crossed my mind, to turn my back on you O Lord, my only shelter through the storm but instead I draw closer through this time.


So I pray:
Bring me joy, bring me peace, bring the chance to be free, bring me anything that brings You glory! And I know there'll be days that this life brings me pain, but if that's what it takes to praise You... Jesus bring the rain!

I am Yours regardless of the clouds that may loom above, because You are much greater than the pain. You who made a way for me, suffering Your destiny, so tell me, what's a little rain?


So I pray: Bring me joy, bring me peace, bring the chance to be free, bring me anything that brings You glory! And I know there'll be days that this life brings me pain, but if that's what it takes to praise You... Jesus bring the rain!


Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD God Almighty, is the LORD God Almighty!


And I forever sing:
Holy, Holy Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD God Almighty, is the LORD God Almighty!


Everybody's singing:
Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD God Almighty, is the LORD God Almighty!


You are Holy, You are Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD God Almighty!


Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD God Almighty, is the LORD God Almighty!!"

Coming Up To Breathe


"The Lord whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, and yells to us in our pain. It is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world." - C.S. Lewis

Move in Me

I'm not feeling anything,
my body's numb from my heart down,
I need what only You can bring,
cause nothing else can turn me back around.

Chorus:
And its more than I can bear!
Turn the pages of my mind,
I'm not sure what You'll find,
but I need You to move in me!
Shoot Your healing through my veins,
strip away the old remains
I need you to move in me!

I don't like what I've become,
I don't recognize the man they see.
Its gotten easier to run,
than to take a look inside of me.

But it's more than I can bear!
Turn the pages of my mind,
I'm not sure what youll find,
but I need You to move in me!
Shoot Your healing through my veins,
strip away the old remians
I need you to move in me,
move in me!

Give me peace that passes everything,
give me joy I can't explain
fill me with the Love that never fails
and gently call my name.

Turn the pages of my mind,
and move in me....

Turn the pages of my mind,
I'm not sure what You'll fine,
but I need You to move in me!
Shoot Your healing through my veins,
strip away the old remains,
I need You to move in me.

Everlasting God

One thing I know that I have found,
through all the troubles that surround,
You are the Rock that never fails,
You never fail!

One thing I know that I believe,
through every blessing I receive,
You are the only One that stays,
You always stay!

You never change,
You're still the same,
You are the Everlasting God!

You will remain,
after the day is gone,
and things of Earth have past...

Everlasting God!

Hiding Place

I have found myself a hiding place,
I have found myself a secret space,
in the shelter of Almighty's love,
in the safety of the Savior's arms...

Chorus:
I will run to the Hiding Place,
I will run to the Hiding Place,
draw me ever closer to look upon Your face,
I will run to the Hiding Place.

I have found myself a hiding place,
I have found myself a secret space,
in the refuge of the Father's care,
in the cleansing blood of Jesus there...

Repeat Chorus.

Though my fears may overwhelm me,
and troubles they surround.
Though the wind rise up to take me,
my Hiding Place is already found!

I have found myself a Hiding Place,
I have found myself a secret space,
in the shelter of Almighty's love,
in the safety of the Savior's arms...

Oh! to look upon Your face!
I will run to the Hiding Place!
