( For it is He, who watches over us.. }

His eye is on the sparrow by Lauren Hill  & Tanya blount


Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for Heav'n and home

When Jesus is my portion
A constant Friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches over me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free

"What's the price of two or three pet canaries?
Some loose change, right?
But God never overlooks a single one.
And he pays even greater attention to you, down to the last detail—
even numbering the hairs on your head!
So don't be intimidated by all this bully talk.
You're worth more than a million canaries."

Luke 12:6-7 (The Message)

Thanksgiving '10: To God be the glory for the things He has done!

'My Tribute Medley' by Israel Houghton

How can say thanks for the things
You have done for me
Things so undeserved yet you gave.
To prove your love for me


The voices of a million angels
Could not express my gratitude
All that am and ever hope to be
I owe it all to Thee


To God be the glory
To God be the glory
To God be the glory
For the things He has done
He has done


Just let me live my life and
Let it be pleasing Lord to Thee


And if I gain any praise let it go to Calvary


To God be the glory
To God be the glory
To God be the glory
For the things He has done
He has done

With his blood he has saved me
With his power he has raised me
To God be the glory for the things He has done


(He has done great things

He has done great things)


How great is our God
Sing with me
How great is our God
And all will see
How great How great is our God

How can I say thanks

For the things You have done for me

Healing rain is falling down, I'm not afraid - M.W.S

Healing Rain by Michael W. Smith

while Your healing rain for my anxious and unstilled heart is falling down,

i will not be afraid knowing that You are God,

You are in sovereign control,

and You are with me!

*trusts in Your unfailing love* ♥

You're amazing, just the way you are..

Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars

Oh her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day

Yeah I know, I know
When I compliment her
She won't believe me
And its so, its so
Sad to think she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look okay
I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are

And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think its so sexy

She's so beautiful

And I tell her every day

Oh you know, you know, you know
I'd never ask you to change
If perfect is what you're searching for
Then just stay the same

So don't even bother asking
If you look okay
You know I say

The way you are
The way you are
Girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

Yes, dreaming it would be nice to have this come out of a blokes mouth and fingers from his instrument right?

But you know what, this song has already been sung by our first love. And He shall birth it out once again to the one He has prepared and handpicked just for you.

We are amazing just the way He made us to be because we are birthed out of a hand of a perfectionist!

He♥us #2: God's love never fails! (Psalm 136)

Your Love Never Fails by Chris Quilala (+Jesus Culture)


Nothing can separate
Even if I ran away
Your love never fails

I know I still make mistakes
But You have new mercies for me everyday
Your love never fails

You stay the same through the ages
Your love never changes
There may be pain in the night but joy comes in the morning

And when the oceans rage
I don't have to be afraid
Because I know that You love me
Your love never fails

The wind is strong and the water's deep
But I'm not alone in these open seas
Cause Your love never fails

The chasm is far too wide
I never thought I'd reach the other side
But Your love never fails

You make all things work together for my good

Seated with J.

Carried To The Table by Leeland


Wounded and forsaken
I was shattered by the fall
Broken and forgotten
Feeling lost and all alone
Summoned by the King
Into the Master’s courts
Lifted by the Savior
And cradled in His arms

I was carried to the table
Seated where I don’t belong
Carried to the table
Swept away by His love
And I don’t see my brokenness anymore
When I’m seated at the table of the Lord
I’m carried to the table
The table of the Lord

Fighting thoughts of fear
And wondering why He called my name
Am I good enough to share this cup
This world has left me lame
Even in my weakness
The Savior called my name
In His Holy presence
I’m healed and unashamed


-----

we're all at the masters table, stuffed like a christmas turkey.
J., makes the bestest host ever!
we just cant help but overflow with His finest.

so we are not in it for the breadcrumbs but the whole feast.
be sure of which table are you at!
because at His, we are never hungry and always [beyond] full.

-----

Hey there! All who are thirsty, come to the water! Are you penniless? Come anyway—buy and eat! Come, buy your drinks, buy wine and milk. Buy without money—everything's free! Why do you spend your money on junk food, your hard-earned cash on cotton candy? Listen to me, listen well:

Eat only the best, fill yourself with only the finest.

Loved as His child.

'How He loves us' - Kim Walker (Jesus Culture)

He is jealous for me 
Love's like a hurricane, I am a tree 
Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy 
When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory 
and I realize just how beautiful You are and how great your affections are for me. 
Oh, how He loves us so 
Oh, how He loves us 
How He loves us so. 

Yeah, He loves us 
Woah, how He loves us 
Woah, how He loves us 
Woah, how He loves. 

So we are His portion and He is our prize, 
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes 
If grace is an ocean we're all sinking 
So heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss and my heart turns violently inside of my chest 
I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way 

That he loves us, 
Woah, how He loves us 
Woah, how He loves us 
Woah, how He loves 

He loves us, 
Woah, how He loves us 
Woah, how He loves us 
Woah, how He loves

---

"SEE WHAT [an incredible] quality of love the Father has given (shown, bestowed on) us, that we should [be permitted to] be named and called and counted the children of God! And so we are!

Beloved, we are [even here and] now God's children;
it is not yet disclosed (made clear) what we shall be [hereafter],
but we know that when He comes and is manifested,
we shall [as God's children] resemble and; be like Him,
for we shall see Him just as He [really] is.

And everyone who has this hope [resting] on Him,
cleanses (purifies) himself just as He is pure (chaste, undefiled, guiltless)."

1 John 3:1-3 (Amplified)

J., the better driver.

'Jesus, Take The Wheel' - Carrie Underwood




She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy
With the baby in the backseat


Fifty miles to go and she was running low
On faith and gasoline
It'd been a long hard year


She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
She was going way too fast
Before she knew it she was spinning
On a thin black sheet of glass


She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry
She was so scared
She threw her hands up in the air


Jesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my own


I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
Jesus, take the wheel


It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
And the car came to a stop
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat
Sleeping like a rock


And for the first time in a long time
She bowed her head to pray
She said I'm sorry for the way
I've been living my life


I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight


Jesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my own


I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on


Oh Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, I'm letting go


So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
From this road I'm on
Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, take it, take it from me
Oh, why, ooh

"If we go our own way, we never get where we're going, and we pay the fare. If we go God's way, we always get there, and He pays the fare!"


Ed Young

"I don't think the way you think. The way you work isn't the way I work." God's Decree.


"For as the sky soars high above earth, so the way I work surpasses the way you work, and the way I think is beyond the way you think.


Just as rain and snow descend from the skies and don't go back until they've watered the earth, Doing their work of making things grow and blossom, producing seed for farmers and food for the hungry,


So will the words that come out of my mouth not come back empty-handed. They'll do the work I sent them to do, they'll complete the assignment I gave them.


Isaiah 55:8-9 (The Message)

His ways are definitely higher hence, He makes the better driver because He has got the better directions and control.

'Something In The Water' - Brooke Fraser

Do do do do do do do do do do

I wear a demeanor made of bright pretty things
What she wears, what she wears, what she wears
Birds singing on my shoulder in harmony it seems
How they sing, how they sing, how they sing

Give me nights of solitude, red wine just a glass or two, reclined in a hammock on a balmy evening
Il pretend that it's no thing that's skipping my heart when I think
Of you thinking of me babe I'm crazy over you

Aaah Aaah Aaah
there's something in the water, something in the water
Aaah Aaah Aaah
There's something in the water, that makes me love you like –

I've got halo's made of summer, rhythms made of spring
What she wears, what she wears, what she wears
I got crowns of words a woven each one a song to sing
Oh I sing, oh I sing, oh I sing

Give me long days in the sun, preludes to the nights to come preludes of the mornings laying in all lazy give me something fun to do like a life of loving you
Kiss me quick now baby I'm still crazy over you

Aaah Aaah Aaah
there's something in the water, something in the water
Aaah Aaah Aaah
there's something in the water that makes me love you like I do

Oooh oooh oooh 

Give me nights of solitude, red wine just a glass or two, give me something fun to do

Aaah Aaah Aaah
there's something in the water, something in the water
Aaah Aaah Aaah
there's something in the water that makes me love you like I do

Aaah Aaah Aaah
there's something in the water, something in the water
Aaah Aaah Aaah
there's something in the water that makes me love you like I –

Do do do do do do do

Holding me close, You leading the way..

'You and me' by Olivia Ong




Taking a trip down memory lane
Things have changed One thing remains
That they will always have each other
And even though those days have gone
They know here is where they belong
Theres some kinda magic in the air

Feel the warmth
That only summer breezes can bring
Sweet little notes of spring begin
Nothing to fear

Taking one step at a time
Walking hand in hand
1 2 3 4 
Cheek to cheek
And theyre learning How to do that dance
Let this love be forever more they say
I wish for this, to be true for you and me

Holding her close he leading the way
Out at the park Enjoying the Day
And you can tell theyll be ok
Feel the warmth
That only summer breezes can bring
Sweet little notes of spring begin
Nothing to fear

Taking one step at a time
Walking hand in hand
1 2 3 4 
Cheek to cheek
And theyre learning How to do that dance
Let this love be forever more they say
I wish for this, to be true for you and me

Taking one step at a time
Walking hand in hand
1 2 3 4
Cheek to cheek
And theyre learning How to do that dance
Let this love be forever more they say
I wish for this, to be true for you and me
To be true for you and me
To be true for you and me
You and me
You and me
