I'm trading my sorrows

I'm trading my sorrows

I'm trading my shame

I'm laying them down for the joy of the lord

I'm trading my sickness

I'm trading my pain

I'm laying it down for the joy of the lord

We say yes lord yes lord yes yes lord

Yes lord yes lord yes yes lord

Yes lord yes lord yes yes lord amen

I'm pressed but not crushed persecuted but not abandoned

Struck down but not destroyed

I am blessed beyond the curse for his promise will endure

That his joy's gonna be my strength

Though the sorrow may last for the night

His joy comes with the morning

My grace is sufficient for you

Fear not, for I am with you

Fear not, for I am with you; 

be not dismayed, for I am your God. 

 I will strengthen you, 

Yes, I will help you, 

 I will uphold you with 

My righteous 

right hand. 

Isaiah 41:10

Because He Lives

Its Easter Sunday and this beautiful song proclaims that my saviour is alive!

Blessed Assurance

Blessed Assurance, Jesus is mine!

O what a foretaste of glory divine!

Heir of salvation, purchase of God,

Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

This is my story, this is my song;

Praising my Saviour all the day long!

(Fanny Crosby , 1823-1915)

My abiding place

I take, O Cross, thy shadow for my abiding place;

Content to let the world go by, to know no gain nor loss;

My sinful self my only shame, my glory all the Cross!

(Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1830-1869)

Let me hide myself in Thee

Rock of ages cleft of me;

let me hide myself in Thee;

Let the water and the blood,

from Thy riven side which flowed

Be of sin the double cure,

cleanse from wrath and make me pure!

                (Augustus Toplady, 1740-1778)

Christian Rap!

How did I miss this? Christian Rap!

 

A gift to you

What a beautiful song to start this month and what a way to praise the Lord. Have a great February.

Everything I am
Everything I'be
I gift it to you Lord
And do it thankfully

Every song I sing
Every praise I bring
Everything I do
Is a gift to you

Everything I have
All you've given
I gift it to you Lord
And do it thankfully

Every song I sing
Every praise I bring everything I do
Is a gift to you

Everything I am
Everything I'be
I gift it to you Lord
And do it thankfully

Down in the valley

Down in the valley, or upon the mountain steep,

Close beside my Saviour, would my soul ever keep;

He will lead me safely, in the path that He has trod,

Up to where they gather on the hills of God!

                (W.O. Cushing, 1823-1902)

Change my heart Oh God

You are holy!

As for me and my house

Praise, my soul

Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven;

To His feet thy tribute bring;

Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,

Who like thee His praise shall sing?

Alleluia! Praise the Everlasting King!

(Henry F. Lyte, 1793-1847, the author of "Abide with me")

How HE loves

A bit tensed I am and the little one is cranky and this music from David Crowder soothes me.

నన్నుదిద్డుము చిన్నప్రాయము సన్నుతుండగు

A telugu worship song seeking correction from the Lord.

More about Jesus!

More about Jesus would I know, more of His grace to others show;

More of His saving fullness see, more of His love who died for me!

                                                 (E.E. Hewitt, 1851-1920)

Praise unto your name

How Great Is Our God

Just cannot fathom his love for me even when I was down, I was tiny, microscopic, ignorant and miserable. I am just a tiny speck in the Lord's plan and still He, in all his grandeur chose to remember me. Thank you Lord.

Here is another gem from Chris Tomlin, a world edition. 

Your grace is enough

I love this Chris Tomlin song as it lifts my spirits up. It helps me lift myself up when I am down and help me grow and keep my faith in the Lord. Have a blessed November.
