Sing...

..just sing a new song to Him!

Ephesians 5:19-20 The Message

18-20 Don’t drink too much wine. That cheapens your life. Drink the Spirit of God, huge drafts of him. Sing hymns instead of drinking songs! Sing songs from your heart to Christ. Sing praises over everything, any excuse for a song to God the Father in the name of our Master, Jesus Christ.

Jesus Is

Written by Taylor Leonhardt

I may be troubled

And full of care

But I'm not broken

Beyond repair

When I am worried, I cling to this

I am no savior but Jesus Is

I may be walking

The road of pain

But he will guide me

Along the way

So I’ll keep singing ‘cause even if

I am no shepherd, Jesus is

CH:

Jesus is

When no one helped me

My Jesus did

So I’ll keep singing ‘cause even if

I am no shepherd, Jesus is

I may be lonely

Without a friend

But I will carry

My heart to Him

He knows my sorrow, my grief is His

I am no healer, but Jesus is

Jesus is

When no one heard me

My Jesus did

He knows my sorrow, my grief is His

I am no healer, but Jesus is

My eyes are weary

The night is long

But I’ll wait for Jesus

Until he comes

To reign forever, world without end

I’m not so patient but Jesus is

Jesus is

So I’ll keep waiting

Like Jesus did

Who reigns forever, world without end

I’m not so patient but Jesus is

I am no savior, but Jesus is

You know, recently, like a few weeks ago, I have been going to "You Tube," and have been following a few artists. It is an amazing thing the ability that God has given us through technology.

Maybe in the last year, I have visited a few of the sights by these artists maybe ten times or so. For the most part, however, many of these have only been visited for the last week or two.

But, what I have found as I have recently searched particularly for a couple of artists in their "You Tube Clips," is that it is absolutely incredible how that their lives are displayed from the beginning to now.

In particular there is one gal that I have visited as her and her friend started out. I mean, here she is in the backyard of a house in Nashville, singing a solo song, and she comes across as almost a novice.

So, then as you watch a few more "clips," dated no more than three years in the future she is like a "Prolific Writer" out of Nashville, who has authored like fifty songs or so?

Amazing, what God can do to a person obviously and solely devoted toward Him.

Just to see how God can take someone who is a complete unknown and then over night, become such a prolific song writer really builds "Faith," in me.

Or to see her friend and to follow her from one studio recording to another and then the next thing you know these two young ladies are leading a community of artists in North Carolina.

Next, I see them in a community of artists out of Nashville and each time their music is more mature as I watched them progress from one group of musicians to another.

Meanwhile, I note a few other artists, such as Sarah McLachlan, or a gal by the name of Leslie Jordan, as I am trying to find very Christian and anointed songs that I may one day use in reference to any future papers I write?

I had heard of Ms McLachlan, yet I don't believe that I had ever listened to any of her songs until the last few weeks.

I was once at a "worship Service" in Nashville, that had been really anointed. I had already had one of this guys CD's, but the service was incredibly anointed which he had led.

The artist name was Paul Baloche. So, gleaning the net, I came upon a song by Paul Baloche and a gal named Leslie Jordan, other than that, I had never heard of Ms Jordan, but again I found a very anointed singer, nonetheless.

So, lastly, when I get to Music clips posted recently I see all four of these ladies in a new band called "Paper Horses," which I believe is going to go far?

There was an especially good song that I liked called "Jesus Is."

Sometimes, my life can really relate to such songs.

Well, lastly, I see all of these same ladies on some very anointed and moving scriptural songs out of Nashville, and these are all on a project called "Anchor Hymns."

They are again, with some other artists which I have noted a few times in other solos or various projects.

Nonetheless, I hope that these ladies won't mind if I highlight a few of their songs along with some others out of the "Anchor Hymns," project.

You see, if it gives God glory, then by all means, I want to promote it and I believe that all of these artists have done a great job of promoting God's glory, but perhaps I should leave that for you to decide?

Enjoy!

***

I thought that I had listened to almost all of the "Anchor Hymns," but when I pulled up my "You tube," page tonight, this song was highlighted.

Definitely, one of my all time favorite "Worship songs," in my early years of standing in any "Prayer Meeting" as I gave the Lord glory with my voice in Praise.

Seek and Find

Lyrics:

Part the clouds over my soul

Let the light pour in

I need to see it breaking through

I want to feel it on my skin

I’m like a flower to the sun

Where do I turn until you come

You are the light, I need the light

You are the well that won’t run dry

You are a river underground

I’m gonna to dig until I find

The living water deeper down

Oh I am desperate for a drink

I’m in a desert, you're the spring

You are the life, keep me alive

I’m putting all my hope in you alone

And when I cannot see, I will keep pressing on

Still willing to bet my life

Whoever seeks will find you

I’m gonna seek and find you

I lose the shoreline as I drift

Down in the bottom of the swell

Forget the daylight as I sit

Here in the belly of the whale

But then you pull me from the deep

I feel the earth beneath my feet

I still believe

Help me believe

I’m putting all my hope in you alone

And when I cannot see, I will keep pressing on

Still willing to bet my life

Whoever seeks will find you

I’m gonna seek and find you

I’m putting all my hope in you alone

And when I cannot see, I will keep pressing on

Still willing to bet my life

Whoever seeks will find you

I’m gonna seek and find you
