“Just Another Birthday” Song Lyrics

Sixteen finds me
Blowing out candles and making wishes
And all around me
Is everyone but the one I’m wishing for
And he sent me flowers
And gift-wrapped excuses
From a daddy whose daughter
Wants to see him again

And I know, I know
It’s just another birthday
But I guess I thought
This would be the one
When he would call me, see me
Hold me and free me
But it’s just another birthday

And I’ll be fine
I’ll be fine

Nineteen finds me
And I’m wild-eyed and wide open
I gave myself away to love
But backseat promises fade like a mist
I’m screaming at the midnight air
Everyone hears me but I don’t care
My heart’s clenched just like a fist
‘Cause, people, I didn’t ask for any of this
And I’m not fine
I’m not fine

In the company of strangers
In a cold and sterile room
All alone with a child inside me
And I don’t know what to do
Jesus, can You hear me
Come and heal my brokenness
Put the pieces back together
And be a Father to the fatherless

Twenty-one finds me
Blowing out candles and making wishes
And all around me
My barefoot princess twirls and sings
It’s so amazing
Looking back at all God’s brought us through
You are my happy birthday
And you were born to break the chains

Now I know, I know
It’s not just another birthday
‘Cause I’m here, she’s here
And look how far we’ve come
Since you’ve called me, saw me
Held me and freed me
Thank you, Lord, for another birthday
And we’ll be fine
We’ll be fine

“A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.”
– Psalm 68:5 NIV

“But You, O God, do see trouble and grief; You consider it to take it in hand. The victim commits himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless.”
– Psalm 10:14 NIV

“And above all things have fervent love among yourselves: for love shall cover a multitude of sins.”
– 1 Peter 4:8

“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
– Romans 5:8 NIV

Have you been hurt by a loved one? Or maybe you have caused hurt to a loved one… either way, I pray that you find peace through God’s amazing grace and that His healing love overwhelm you!

Enjoy this song and music video and have a blessed day!

God bless you & be with you always,

Merry Christmas Birthday Celebration

Merry Christmas Birthday Celebration

Merry Christmas to All!

Only 3 more days now until the big celebration!

If we think about celebrating the birthday of someone,

it is actually a party to celebrate and testify to the

fact of their birth and life.

And we would never think about having a birthday party for someone and not inviting them…

A Christmas party is the ultimate birthday extravaganza!

We celebrate Christmas because we want to testify that Jesus’ existence has made our own lives infinitely better and give thanks for His birth and life.

With Christmas just a few days away, let’s make sure we take a moment to escape the hustle and bustle – to invite Jesus to His party and rejoice in our Savior’s birthday!

Wishing you and yours a safe, joyful, and very Merry Christmas!

Be blessed to be a blessing -

God bless you always,
Brenda

“Hold Me” Song Lyrics:

(I love, I love, I love, I love the way you hold me)

I’ve had a long day I just wanna relax
Don’t have time for my friends, no time to chit-chat
Problems at my job, wonderin’ what to do
I know I should be working but I’m thinking of You and
Just when I feel this crazy world is gonna bring me down
That’s when Your smile comes around

Oo, I love the way You hold me, by my side You’ll always be
You take each and everyday, make it special in some way
I love the way you hold me, in Your arms I’ll always be
You take each and everyday, make it special in some way
I love You more than the words in my brain can express
I can’t imagine even loving You less
Lord, I love the way You hold me
Whoa whoa
Oh whoa, I love the way You hold me
Whoa whoa

Well Ya, took my day and You flipped it around
Calmed the tidal wave and put my feet on the ground
Forever in my heart, always on my mind
It’s crazy how I think about You all of the time
And just when I think I’m bout to figure You out
You make me wanna sing and shout

Oo, I love the way You hold me, by my side You’ll always be
You take each and everyday, make it special in some way
I love the way You hold me, in Your arms i’ll always be
You take each and everyday, make it special in some way
I love You more than the words in my brain can express
I can’t imagine even loving You less
Lord, I love the way You hold me
Whoa whoa
Oh whoa, I love the way You hold me
Whoa whoa

I’m so grateful and thankful for all You’ve done
Wish I could tell You in a short story or poem
But, all I have is my voice and this guitar
And You have my heart

Oo, I love the way You hold me, by my side You’ll always be
You take each and everyday, make it special in some way
Oh, I love the way You hold me, in Your arms i’ll always be
You take each and everyday…

Oo, I love the way You hold me, by my side You’ll always be
You make each and everyday, oh so special
Oh, I love the way You hold me, in Your arms I’ll always be
You take each and everyday, make it special in some way
I love You more than the words in my brain can express
I can’t imagine even loving You less
Lord, I love the way You hold me
Whoa whoa
Oh whoa, I love the way You hold me
Whoa whoa
Oh, I love

(I love, I love, I love, I love the way You hold me)

from the album Come to the Well

“Courageous” Song Lyrics:

We were made to be courageous
We were made to lead the way
We could be the generation
That finally breaks the chain
We were made to be courageous
We were made to be courageous

We were warriors on the front lines
Standing unafraid
But now we’re watchers on the sidelines
While our families slip away

Where are you, men of courage?
You were made for so much more
Let the pounding of our hearts cry
We will serve the Lord

We were made to be courageous
And we’re taking back the fight
We were made to be courageous
And it starts with us tonight

The only way we’ll ever stand
Is on our knees with lifted hands
Make us courageous
Lord, make us courageous

This is our resolution
Our answer to the call
We will love our wives and children
We refuse to let them fall

We will reignite the passion
That we buried deep inside
May the watchers become warriors
Let the men of God arise

We were made to be courageous
And we’re taking back the fight
We were made to be courageous
And it starts with us tonight

The only way we’ll ever stand
Is on our knees, with lifted hands
Make us courageous
Lord, make us courageous

Seek justice
Love mercy
Walk humbly with your God (repeat)

In the war of the mind
I will make my stand
In the battle of the heart
And the battle of the hand (X2)

We were made to be courageous
And we’re taking back the fight
We were made to be courageous
And it starts with us tonight

The only way we’ll ever stand
Is on our knees, with lifted hands
Make us courageous
Lord, make us courageous

We were made to be courageous
Lord, make us courageous

“Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, He it is that doth go with thee; He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.”
– Deuteronomy 31:6

Enjoy this song, be encouraged, take a stand, and God bless you always!

Brenda

Strangers – Inspirational Video

“Strangers” Christian Video by Igniter Media

Be inspired by this video called “Strangers” by Igniter Media.

We all know how important it is to talk to others about Christ. But we shouldn’t forget about the impact of how we live our lives as well. Just think, you may never meet the person whose life you helped change.

Here is a great comment left for this video on GodTube:

“You can call it the “Ripple Effect”, or “Trickle down blessings”, it is ultimately Gods’ Will that none should perish. He has a plan, and this is a great video to show how sharing Christ, inviting someone to church, pays Eternal dividends! Something to think about the next time someone asks, ‘Why do you wear that cross?’, or ‘What is it about you, you are always happy’? Even though it sometimes seems it is not so, sharing our’ faith is always a winning situation!” — Jim Loeffert

Enjoy this video & have a God blessed day!

Cheers,
Brenda
