“Hold Us Together” Song Lyrics:

It don’t have a job, don’t pay your bills
Won’t buy you a home in Beverly Hills
Won’t fix your life in five easy steps
Ain’t the law of the land or the government?
But it’s all you need

And love will hold us together
Make us a shelter to weather the storm
And I’ll be my brother’s keeper
So the whole world would know that we’re not alone

It’s waiting for you knocking at your door
In the moment of truth when your heart hits the floor
And you’re on your knees

And love will hold us together
Make us a shelter to weather the storm
And I’ll be my brother’s keeper
So the whole world would know that we’re not alone

This is the first day of the rest of your life
This is the first day of the rest of your life
‘Cause even in the dark you can still see the light
It’s gonna be alright, it’s gonna be alright

This is the first day of the rest of your life
This is the first day of the rest of your life
‘Cause even in the dark you can still see the light
It’s gonna be alright, it’s gonna be alright

Love will hold us together
Make us a shelter to weather the storm
And I’ll be my brother’s keeper
So the whole world would know that we’re not alone

“And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, you shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is none other commandment greater than these.”
– Mark 12:30-31

 Enjoy and Have a Great Day!

With love in Christ,

Forgiven by Sanctus Real – Live on K-Love Christian Radio

“Forgiven” by Sanctus Real
from the album “Pieces of a Real Heart”

Featured live on K-Love Radio Station

Song lyrics:

“Well the past is playing with my head
And failure knocks me down again
I’m reminded of the wrong
That I have said and done
And that devil just wont let me forget

In this life
I know what I’ve been
But here in your arms
I know what I am

I’m forgiven
I’m forgiven
And I don’t have to carry
The weight of who I’ve been
Cause I’m forgiven

My mistakes are running through my mind
And I’ll relive my days, in the middle of the night
When I wrestle with my pain, struggle with my pride
Sometimes I feel alone, and I cry

When I don’t think and I don’t feel like I belong anywhere
When I don’t measure up to much in this life
Oh, I’m a treasure in the arms of Christ ‘cause…”

We serve a loving and merciful God!

“Who is a God like you, that pardons iniquity,
and passes by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage?
He does not retain his anger forever, because He delights in mercy.
He will turn again, He will have compassion upon us;
He will subdue our iniquities; and will cast all their sins into
the depths of the sea.”
– Micah 7:18-20

Enjoy this song and have a wonderful day!

God bless you -

Cheers,
Brenda

You are holy, yes You are holy,

The Greatness of Our God – Hillsong Live Christian Music Video

“The Greatness of Our God” Live by Hillsong

“Give me eyes to see more of who You are,
Make what I behold still my anxious heart,
Take what I have known and break it all apart,
For You my God, are Greater Still!

…I spent my life to know, and I’m far from close -
to knowing all You are, the Greatness of Our God!

Give me grace to see beyond this moment here,
to believe that there is nothing left to fear,
and that You alone are high above it all,
for You my God are Greater still!

…there is nothing that could ever separate us…
no words can say, no song convey -
the Greatness of Our God!”

“I will extol You, my God, O King; and I will bless Your name for ever and ever.
Every day will I bless You; and I will praise Your name for ever and ever.
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and His greatness is unsearchable.
One generation shall praise your works to another, and shall declare
Your mighty acts.
I will speak of the glorious honor of Your majesty, and of Your wonderous works… And I will declare Your greatness.
They shall abundantly utter the memory of Your great goodness,
and shall sing of Your righteousness.
The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy…
The Lord is righteous in all His ways, and holy in all His works.
The Lord is near unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth…
My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless His holy name for ever and ever.”
– Psalm 145: 1-8,17-18,21

God bless you,
Brenda

Dave Barnes – God Gave Me You Music Video

“God Gave Me You” by Dave Barnes

“…you stay here right beside me and watch as the storm blows through.
And I need you. God gave me you for the ups and downs.
God gave me you for the days of doubt. For when I think I’ve lost my way,
There are no words here left to say, it’s true – God Gave Me You!

There’s more here than what we’re seeing – a Divine Conspiracy!
That you an angel lovely, would somehow fall for me.
You’ll always be loved sweetheart and I’ll be the flattered fool…
And I need you. God Gave Me You…”

“Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned.”
– Song of Solomon 8:7

This one goes out to all you love birds, newly weds, and long-time married folks…

Enjoy!

God bless you -

Cheers,
Brenda

Casting Crowns – East To West (Live) Christian Music Video

“East To West” (Live) by Casting Crowns

“… I know You’ve cast my sin as far as the east is from the west
and I stand before You now as though I’ve never sinned -

But today I feel like I’m just one mistake away
from You leaving me this way -

Jesus, can You show me just how far the east is from the west?
‘Cause I can’t bear to see the man I’ve been
rising up in me again -

In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
You know just how far the east is from the west
from one scarred hand to the other…

“As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.”
– Psalm 103:12

Enjoy this music video and praise God for His mercy!

God bless you always,
Brenda

Happy July 4th! Celebrating Freedom

Celebrating the 4th of July!

Independence Day in America is a time of celebration of freedom, both spiritual and physical.

May you all have a safe and happy day!

And special thanks and prayers go out to all those who have served and are serving in the military on our behalf; that we may continue to enjoy freedom.

Thank God for all His blessings!

John Adams
2nd U.S. President and Signer of the Declaration of Independence

“Suppose a nation in some distant Region should take the Bible for their only law Book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited! Every member would be obliged in conscience, to temperance, frugality, and industry; to justice, kindness, and charity towards his fellow men; and to piety, love, and reverence toward Almighty God … What a Eutopia, what a Paradise would this region be.”
–Diary and Autobiography of John Adams, Vol. III, p. 9.

“The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity. I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God.”
–Adams wrote this on June 28, 1813, in a letter to Thomas Jefferson.

 
“I will walk about in freedom, for I have sought out Your precepts.”
– Psalm 119:45

“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
– John 8:32

“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”
– John 8:36

“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”
– Galatians 5:1

“In Him [Christ] and through faith in Him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.”
– Ephesians 3:12

1861 (July 4), Senate Prayer:

“Almighty and everlasting God, be not angry with us for our sins, which we only confess and deplore; but pardon our offenses and extend to us Thy favor. We thank Thee for Thy goodness on this anniversary of the nation a day tenfold more precious by reason of our present troubles, and sacred to the heart for the ever memorable Declaration of our fathers, in which Thou didst begin more openly to give us a name among the nations of the earth. We thank Thee for all Thy manifold and abundant mercies hitherto to make our nation exceedingly great and glorious; but now disasters have befallen us and darkness broods in the land. And now we ask Thy mercy as the Senate is convening at a most momentous crisis of our history. Give to Thy servants all needed help. Add to their deliberations wisdom and unanimity, and profit and speed to their conclusion. Bless Thy servant, the President of the United States, our veteran Commander-in- Chief, and all that have functions in the civil and military power. May the angel of Thy presence walk in the Cabinet and in the Congress and in the camp, to go before, to purify, and to direct the now greatly and universally-awakened love of country. And we beseech Thee to guide us, to overrule and order all things, and so to cause that nothing shall fail, that the disorders of the land may be speedily healed, that peace and concord may prevail, that truth and righteousness may be established, and that Thy Church and Kingdom may flourish in a larger peace and prosperity, for Thy Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ’s sake. Amen.”
– Rev. Byron Sunderland, D.D.

Happy 4th of July!
