I want to sing
Until I am lost in Your love
Till I'm found in Your presence
Worshipping before your throne
Held by Your spirit
Entering into Your flow
How precious this moment
Lord I want you to know

It's You
You who have won my heart
Taken me into Your arms
Comforted me like a friend
Your love
Surrounded me from the start
I never want to be apart
From You ever again


howcome we never sing songs like that anymore?
the song came to mind in the office... and just singing that alone and typing out stuff i could feel God's presence just enter the place... He's love is just so amazing
.

while seaching for the actual lyrics for that song... i came across other old old songs that we never sing anymore.... like this

He walked where I walk
He stood where I stand
He felt what I feel
He understands
He knows my frailty
Shared my humanity
Tempted in every way
Yet without sin

God with us, so close to us
God with us, Emmanuel (2x)
Emmanuel

One of a hated race
Stung by the prejudice
Suffering injustice
Yet He forgives
Wept for my wasted years
Paid for my wickedness
He died in my place
That I might live

Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Emmanuel, Emmanuel

if you know what the song sounds like... granted... it's nothing like the kind of worship/ praise songs today... or the hymns that other people sing... but the words are fantastic don't you think? Jesus has been through every single thing, every temptation, every judgement of sin. On the cross bearing our sins, the judgement of God fell on Him and consumed Him... but he was left - ALIVE - at the end of it all.

i think this line is the most amazing of all "He felt where I feel, He understands" and then "He died in my place, That I might live"... maybe it's just my obsession with life eh... but it's soo cool... that my God knows exactly what i go through, my God isnt a static wooden carving... or even a static gold carving... or one who lived and died... but Jesus died and ROSE from the dead - and the Holy Spirit is in me. My God is with me wherever i go, no matter what i do. and He understands


and then there were the Sunday Skool songs!

God's not dead He's alive
God's not dead He's alive
God's not dead He's alive
I can feel Him all over me

No no no no no
No no no no no
No no no no no

I can feel Him in my head
I can feel Him in my hands
I can feel Him in my knees
I can feel Him in my toes
I can feel Him all over me

[remember the actions?? Hehe]

Joy is the flag flown high from the castle of my heart
From the castle of my heart
From the castle of my heart
Joy is the flag flown high from the castle of my heart
When the King is in residence there

So let it fly in the sky
Let the whole world know, let the whole world know
So let it fly in the sky, let the whole world know
That the King is in residence there



haha... i guess i'm ancient in church...
