I just came to praise the Lord

I just came to praise the Lord

I just came to praise His Holy Name

I just came to praise the Lord


He came into my life

One very special day

He came into my life

To show me a special way

He said He'll never depart,

For this is why I sing

I just came to praise the Lord.


this song has been in my head for quite a while and yup, my current favourite song. Simple yet it speaks of everything.

was doing QT on the bus while going to sch and i felt a joy brimming up in me. =)pretty inexplicable cos i was late for sch already.


and i love doing QT on the bus, like it gives me my peace and joy while talking to God before sch and at the same time, not wasting the time on the long journey.


and as i read the verses of the day, i was humming a song that complemented the verses.'All the way my Saviour leads me/ What have I to ask beside?'


really speaks of wad a christian would say. to have the almighty God, and creator of the Universe to walk beside you, day by day, second by second, it's really more than wad we could ask for.


really loved the words of that song.



All the way my Saviour leads me

What have I to ask beside?

Can I doubt His tender merciy

Who through life has been my Guide?

Heav'nly Peace, divinest Comfort

Here by faith in Him to dwell

For I know whatte'er befall me

Jesus doeth all things well


All the way my Saviour leads me

Cheers each winding path I tread

Gives me grace for every trial

Feeds me with the Living Bread

Though my weary steps may falter

and my soul a-thirst may be

Gushing from the rock before me

Lo! A spring of joy I see


All the way my Saviour leads me

O, the fullness of His love!

Perfect peace to me is promised

In my Fatther's house above

When my Spirit clothed immortal

Wings its flight through realms of day

This my song through endless ages

Jesus led me all the way

was just talking to daryl cos i overslept for church (again) and he was like asking me like wad i feel towards wad ppl thinking of me. okies. i really dun care wad ppl think of me. and he was like saying he needs more of that trait of personality.


I dunno if being detached from the society’s point of view is a good thing. maybe it is, if not, i wouldn't have taken this path really.


from being a retainee to taking horticulture and landscape management in poly, it's really not wad most ppl would do.


for me, im glad that i have supportive parents, but at the same time, i wonder how would i have fared if my parent's are aren't as supportive? will i bend into the pressure? hmm.


oh wells. i shouldn't thaink about all that now. cos it's God's plan, yeah? for me to have supportive parents so that i could do wad i loved to do and hopefully do 'a good work' in His name.


this song on K-love really spoke my heart as i was typing this post. enjoy!



Chris Tomlin - How Can I Keep From Singing

From the album See the Morning


There is an endless song

Echoes in my soul

I hear the music ring


And though the storms may come

I am holding on

To the rock I cling


(Chorus)

How can I keep from singing Your praise

How can I ever say enough

How amazing is Your love

How can I keep from shouting Your name

I know I am loved by the King

And it makes my heart want to sing


I will lift my eyes

In the darkest night

For I know my Savior lives

And I will walk with You

Knowing You'll see me through

And sing the songs You give


(Chorus)


I can sing in the troubled times

Sing when I win

I can sing when I lose my step


And fall down again

I can sing 'cause You pick me up

Sing 'cause You're there

I can sing 'cause You hear me, Lord

When I call to You in prayer

I can sing with my last breath

Sing for I know

That I'll sing with the angels

And the saints around the throne


(Chorus)

Aaron Shust - My Savior My God


From the album Anything Worth Saying


I am not skilled to understand

What God has willed, what God has planned

I only know at His right hand

Stands one who is my Savior


I take Him at His word and deed

Christ died to save me; this I read

And in my heart I find a need

Of Him to be my savior


That He would leave His place on high

And come for sinful man to die

You count it strange, so once did I

Before I knew my Savior


Chorus

My Savior loves, My Savior lives

My Savior’s always there for me

My God: He was, my God; He is

My Savior loves, My Savior lives

My Savior’s always there for me

My God: He was, my God; He is

My God is always gonna be


Yes, living, dying, let me bring

My strength, my solace from this spring;

That He who lives to be my King

Once died to be my Savior


That He would leave His place on high

And come for sinful man to die

You count it strange, so once did I

Before I knew my Savior


Chorus


(Instrumental)


Chorus: (2x’s)

My Savior loves, My Savior lives

Nichole Nordeman - What If

From the album Brave

What if you’re right?

And he was just another nice guy

What if you’re right?

What if it’s true?

They say the cross will only make a fool of you

And what if it’s true?


What if he takes his palace in history

With all the prophets and the kings

Who taught us love and came in peac

eBut then the story ends

What then?


(Chorus)

But what if you’re wrong?

What if there’s more?

What if there’s hope you never dreamed of hoping for?

What if you jump?

And just close your eyes?

What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise?

What if He’s more than enough?

What if it’s love?


What if you dig, What if you dig

Way down deeper than your simple-minded friends

What if you dig?

What if you find

A thousand more unanswered questions inside

That’s all you find


What if you pick apart the logic

And begin to poke the holes

What if the crown of thorns is no more

Then folklore that must be told and retold


(Chorus)


You’ve been running as fast as you can

You’ve been looking for a place you can land so long

But what if you’re wrong?

What if you jump?

And just close your eyes?

What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise?

What if He’s more than enough?

What if it’s love?

Let us exalt


At all times I will bless Him

His praise shall be on my mouth

My soul makes its boast in the Lord

The humble man shall hear of Him

The afflicted shall be glad

And join with me to magnify the Lord


(Chorus)

Let us exalt His name together, forever

I sought the Lord; He heard me and delivered me from my sins

Let us exalt His name together, forever

O sing His praises, magnify the Lord!


The angel of the Lord encamps

Round those who fear His name

To save them and deliver them from harm

Though lions roar with hunger

We lack for no good thing

No wonder then we praise Him with our song


(Chorus)


Come children now and hear Him

If you would see long life

Just keep your lips from wickedness and lies

Do good and turn from evil

Seek peace instead of strife

Love righteousness and God will hear your cry


(Chorus)

Superchick - Stand In The Rain

From the album Beauty From Pain 1.1


She never slows down

She doesn’t know why

But she knows that when she’s all alone

It feels like it’s all coming down


She won’t turn around

The shadows are long

And she fears if she cries that first tear

The tears will not stop raining down


(Chorus)

So stand in the rain

Stand your ground

Stand up when it’s all crashing down

You stand through the pain

You won’t drown

And one day what’s lost can be found

You stand in the rain


She won’t make a sound

Alone in this fight with herself

And the fear’s whispering

If she stands, she’ll fall down

She wants to be found

The only way out is through everything

She’s running from

Wants to give up and lie down


(2x’s)Chorus

Nicole C. Mullen - Redeemer

From the album Nicole C. Mullen


Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning

Who told the ocean you an only come this far?

Who showed the moon where to hide 'til evening

Whose words alone can catch a falling star?


Well I know my Redeemer lives

I know my Redeemer lives

All of creation testify

This life within me cries

I know my Redeemer lives


The very same God that spins things in orbit

He runs to the weary, the worn and the weak

And the same gentle hands that hold me when I'm broken

They conquered death to bring me victory


Now I know my Redeemer lives

I know my Redemer lives

Let all creation testify

Let this life within me cry

I know my Redeemer, He lives


To take away my shame

And He lives forever I'll proclaim

That the payment for my sin

Was the precious life He gave

But now He's alive

And there's a new day


And I know my Redeemer, He lives

I know my Redeemer lives

Let all creation testify

This life within me cries

I know my Redeemer lives

Toby Mac - Made To Love

From the album Portable Sounds

Labels: lyrics

Labels: lyrics

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth

Would care to know my name

Would care to feel my hurt

Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star

Would choose to light the way

For my ever wandering heart



Not because of who I am

But because of what You've done

Not because of what I've done

But because of who You're



Chorus:

I am a flower quickly fading

Here today and gone tomorrow

A wave tossed in the ocean

A vapour in the wind

Still You hear me when I'm calling

Lord, You catch me when I'm falling

And You've told me who I am

I am Yours, I am Yours



Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin

Would look on me with love and watch me rise again

Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea

Would call out through the rain

And calm the storm in me


Not because of who I am

But because of what You've done

Not because of what I've done

But because of who You're



Chorus:

I am a flower quickly fading

Here today and gone tomorrow

A wave tossed in the ocean

A vapour in the wind

Still You hear me when I'm calling

Lord, You catch me when I'm falling

And You've told me who I am

I am Yours, I am Yours



I am Yours

Whom shall I fear

Whom shall I fear

'Cause I am Yours

I am Yours



Chorus:

I am a flower quickly fading

Here today and gone tomorrow

A wave tossed in the ocean

A vapour in the wind

Still You hear me when I'm calling

Lord, You catch me when I'm falling

And You've told me who I am

I am Yours, I am Yours

Labels: lyrics

so many nice christian songs around...


so i can't possibly feature them all of them...sians...
so for now i shall feature my current favourite song: Love crucified arose.


Long ago He blessed the earth

Born older than the years

And in that stall the cross He saw

Through the first of many tears

A life of homeless wandering

Cast out at sorrow's way

The Shepherd seeking for the lost

His life the price He'd pay


Love crucified arose

The Risen One in splendour

Jehovah, sole Defender

Has won the victory

Love crucified arose

And the grave became a place of hope

For the heart that sin and sorrow broke

Is beating once again


Throughout Your life You felt the weight of

What You'd come to give

To drink for us that crimson cup

So we might really life

At last the time to love and die

The dark and appointed day

That one forsaken moment when

Your Father turned His face away


Love crucified arose

The One who lived and died for me

Was Satan's nail - pierced causality

Now He's breathing once again

Love crucified arose

And the grave became a place a place of hope

For the heart that sin and sorrow broke

Is beating once again

May the words of my mouth

And the thoughts of my heart

Bless Your name, bless Your name, Jesus:

And the deeds of the day,

And the truth in my ways,

Speak of You, speak of You, Jesus.



chorus:
For this is what i'm glad to do,

It's time to live a life of Love

That pleases You.

And I will give my all to You,

Surrender everything I have and

follow You,

I'll follow You



Lord will You be my vision,

Lord will u be my guide:

Be my hope, be my light and the way?

And I look not for riches,

Nor praises on earth

Only You'll be the first of my heart.

I will follow, I will follow You. (x4)
