We're Gonna Sing Like the Saved

lines that i love from great worship songs :]


"...i have no longings for another,
i'm satisfied in Him alone..."

"no pow'r of hell, no scheme of man
can ever pluck me from His hand"

"but as i ran my hell-bound race
indifferent to the cost
You looked upon my helpless state
and led me to the cross"

"Risen Lamb upon the Throne
Roaring Lion coming soon
every eye will see it's true
You are beautiful"

"It is done, will shout the cross
Christ has paid redemption's cost
while the empty tomb declaring
Jesus saves!"

"Broken-hearted, You mend every piece..."

"My name is graven on His hands
my name is written on His heart
I know that while in heaven He stands
no tongue can bid me thence depart"

"Jesus show me how to be free
how to let go of these things
that keep me from getting closer to You"

"so take me as You find me
all my fears and failures
fill my life again
I give my life to follow
everything i believe in
now i surrender"

"when satan tempts me to despair
and tells me of the guilt within
upward i look and see Him there
who made an end of all my sin.
Because a sinless Savior died
my sinful soul is counted free
for God the just is satisfied
to look on Him and pardon me"

"when the oceans rise and thunders roar
i will soar with You above the storm
Father, You are King over the flood
i will be still and know You are God..."

"Lord use us as You want, whatever the test
By grace we'll preach Your gospel til our dying breath"

"O praise the One, who paid my debt
and raised this life up from the dead"

"Jesus sought me while a stranger
wandering from the fold of God
He to rescue me from danger
interposed His precious blood"

"Amazing love, how can it be?
That Thou my God shouldst die for me?"

"Who can compare with You in faithfulness?
Who is like You Lord in love and tenderness?
for You meet every need, You heal every heart
Lord, that's who You are..."

"You're calling me to lay aside
the worries of my day
to quiet down my busy mind
and find a hiding place
worthy, You are worthy"

"Take my voice and let me sing
always, only for my King"

"the flowers of the field are crying to be heard
the trees of the forest are singing
and all of the mountains with one voice
are joining the chorus of this world:
make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!"

"and all the powers of darkness
tremble at what they've just heard
cuz all the powers of darkness
can't drown out a single word -
it's all God's people singin
Glory, glory! Hallelujah, He reigns!"


and of course, there are probably hundreds more...
just something i'd like to add to all this i guess
is that while these songs have great meaning and
speak great things about God, something i am learning
lately is that worship is not just about the songs we
sing in church on sunday morning. worship is of the heart
and happens every second of our lives. one of my favorite
worship leaders, Bob Kauflin, wrote a book called "Worship Matters"
and one of the things he wrote that really stuck out to me was
that "what we love most will determine what we genuinely worship."
and it sounds simple...but really think about what it is that you
love the most in life. sometimes it's hard to really think about...
what is it we talk about most, think about most, spend most of
our time doing - that's probably what we love most. that should be God...
anyways, just something to think on...

it's late and i'm sleepy so that's all for now :]
