I was reading the next chapter of an online book I'm in the middle of, and at the end of it, there was a verse. It said, "Freely ye have received, freely give."~ Matthew 10:8 ~ That made me think of the song "God of Justice". Of course ever since then, the song has been running through my head. So that is going to be my song of the day. We sang it a lot in chapel this year...well, not a lot, but on a semi-regular basis, and I just love it. It has such powerful lyrics.
God of Justice by Tim Hughes God of Justice, Saviour to all Came to rescue the weak and the poor Chose to serve and not be served
Jesus, You have called us Freely we've received Now freely we will give
We must go live to feed the hungry Stand beside the broken We must go Stepping forward keep us from just singing Move us into action We must go
To act justly everyday Loving mercy in everyway Walking humbly before You God
You have shown us, what You require Freely we've received Now freely we will give
Fill us up and send us out Fill us up and send us out Fill us up and send us out Lord
I love a lot of the Newsboys' songs because the lyrics always make me laugh while giving me something to think about. This song is no different.
Shine by Newsboys dull as dirt you can´t assert the kind of light that might persuade a strict dictator to retire fire the army teach the poor origami the truth is in the proof is when you hear your heart start asking, "What´s my motivation?"
and try as you may, there isn´t a way to explain the kind of change that would make an Eskimo renounce fur that would make a vegetarian barbecue hamster unless you can trace this about-face to a certain sign...
Chorus shine make ´em wonder what you´ve got make ´em wish that they were not on the outside looking bored shine let it shine before all men let´em see good works, and then let ´em glorify the Lord
out of the shaker and onto the plate it isn´t Karma it sure ain´t fate that would make a Deadhead sell his van that would make a schizophrenic turn in his crayons Oprah freaks and science seeks a rationale that shall excuse this strange behavior
when you let it shine you will inspire the kind of entire turnaround that would make a bouncer take ballet (even bouncers who aren´t happy) but out of the glare with nowhere to turn you ain´t gonna learn it on "What´s My Line?"
I have no idea who these people are in this video, but it was one of the clearer videos I could find for this song.
Yikes! The end of the semester hit, and I became awful about blogging on here. I have been swamped just trying to post on my other blog, let alone even think about this one. I'll try to catch up on here. Hopefully...
This song is from the movie A Walk to Remember. Such a sad, but good movie. This song is fun, so I'm going with it for today. :)
Dancing in the Moonlight by Toploader We get it on most every night when that moon is big and bright its a supernatural delight everybodys dancing in the moonlight

dancing in the moonlight everybodys feeling warm and bright its such a fine and natural sight everybodys dancing in the moonlight
we get in on most every night and when that moon is big and bright its a supernatural delight everybodys dancing in the moonlight
dancing in the moonlight everybodys feeling warm and bright its such a fine and natural sight everybodys dancing in the moonlight
I love the lyrics to this song. Really love them. They are so true and just have struck a chord within me. I will bold my favorite lines of the song. My all-time favorite line I bolded AND made bigger.
What If His People Prayed by Casting Crowns What if the armies of the Lord Picked up and dusted off their swords Vowed to set the captives free And not let Satan have one more
What if the church for heaven's sake Finally stepped up to the plate Took and stand upon God's promise And stormed hell's rusty gates
What if His people prayed And those who bear His name Would humbly seek His face And turn from their own way
And what would happen if we prayed For those raised up to lead the way Then maybe kids in school could pray And unborn children see light of day
What if the life that we pursue Came from a hunger for the truth What if the family turned to Jesus Stopped asking Oprah what to do
What if His people prayed And those who bear His name Would humbly seek His face And turn from their own way
He said that they would hear His promise has been made He’s answered loud and clear, Yeah If only we would pray
If My people called by My name If they'll humble themselves and pray If My people called by My name If they'll humble themselves and pray
What if His people prayed And those who bear His name Would humbly seek His face, Yeah And turn from their own way
He said that they would hear His promise has been made He’s answered loud and clear, Yeah If only we would pray
I finally got the header to work on my blog! I'm so excited. Lol. I made it over a month ago, but then Photobucket wouldn't work on this computer so I had to wait until I was at home to transfer it over. But it's done now. Too bad it doesn't match this background as well as it did the one I made it for. Lol. Oh well.
This is such a beautiful song. I love listening to it. The lyrics are on the video.
I cannot believe I have not posted any TobyMac songs yet! Why is that shocking? Because we go to every TobyMac concert that is within about an hour of our house since my second cousin is in TobyMac's band. So we go to see him and hang out with him before the show.
Made to Love by TobyMac Verse 1 The dream is fading, now I'm staring at the door I know its over cause my feet have hit the cold floor Check my reflection, I ain't feelin what I see It's no mystery Whatever happened to a passion I could live for? What became of the flame that made me feel more? And when did i forget that...
Chorus I was made to love You I was made to find You I was made just for You Made to adore You I was made to love And be loved by You You were here before me You were waiting on me And you said you'd keep me Never would you leave me I was made to love and be loved by You
Verse 2 The dream's alive with my eyes opened wide Back in the ring You've got me swinging for the grand prize I feel the haters is spittin vapors on my dreams But I still believe I'm reachin out, reachin up, reachin over I feel a breeze cover me called Jehovah And Daddy I'm on my way Cause I was made to love...
Chorus I was made to love You I was made just for you Made to adore you I was made to love and be loved by you
You were here before You were waiting on me And you said you'd keep Me never would you leave I was made to love and be loved by you
Bridge Anything I would give up for You Everything, I'd give it all away (Repeat 3x)
I was made to love You, I was made to love You I was made to love You, I was made to find you I was made to love You, Made just for You I was made to love You, Made just for You I was made to love You, Made just for You I was made to love You, I will love by you
