Praise Him · Josh Garrels



Hi!

YouTube has been recommending music to me from Josh Garrels recently.   https://joshgarrels.com/

I'd never heard of him before—so I clicked on a few links and found his music and vocals VERY interesting and unique—but nothing had really spoken deeply to me—UNTIL.........

I gave his song  Praise Him a listen.

It's a very different track (at least to my ears)—but I love its distinct sound—and more importantly that its lyrics point to our Beautiful Savior—Jesus—offering Praise and Worship to Him!

May Josh's music speak into your heart and life—the Blessings and Truth of knowing our Wonderful Messiah and Lord, Jesus!

Isaiah 42:10a

Praise Him ~ Lyrics

Let all sing
Let joy bring
My thankful offering

Those He sets free are free indeed
So I will give Him everything
He is my Lord
He is my King

And I will
Praise Him
Praise Him
Praise Him
Praise the Lord

Let all rise
within Christ
In Him
I will abide

I am the branch
He is the vine
The fruit of this love is divine
Together we’ll be for all time

And I will
(I will) praise Him
(I will) praise Him
(I will) praise Him
Praise the Lord

Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Let all pray
and stay awake
My Lord – He won’t delay

So keep that oil on the flame
This darkness will soon fade away
And I will see him face-to-face.

And I will
Praise Him
Praise Him
Praise Him
Praise the Lord!

Joy Of My Salvation - Lyrics

He's the joy of my salvation,
yes, He is

He's the joy of my salvation,
yes, He is, yes, He is

Woke me up this morning and started me on way
He's the joy of my salvation
yes, He is, oh yes, He is

There's a river of living water
springing up in my soul
joy unspeakable
the joy that Jesus gives

He's my joy,
I know that Jesus is my joy

He is my joy!

Keith & Kristyn Getty w/ Phil Keaggy - My Dwelling Place (Based on Psalm 91)


Hello,

I just found and fell in love with the song/video you'll find below.

Recorded live at Nashville's Sing! conference 2018—it features Keith & Kristyn Getty's song, My Dwelling Place (based on Psalm 91).

Vocalist/songwriter Kristyn leads the musicians and congregation through this beautiful song—which also features Christian "rock" pioneer Phil Keaggy on guitar—and a lovely violin solo (by an unnamed and very pregnant woman : )

I pray this song will Bless you and that the Holy Spirit will fill your heart and mind with the Love, Peace, and abundant Grace and Mercy found only through the King of kings and Lord of lords—Jesus the Christ and Messiah!

Psalm 91:14

My Dwelling Place (Psalm 91) - Lyrics

My dwelling place is God Most High
My refuge and my fortress
When plague and pestilence draw nigh
I’m hidden in His Presence
When terrors fall and arrows fly
His shield will be my safety
When stones across my pathway lie
On angels’ wings I’m carried

My dwelling place is God Most High
A present help in danger
I rest secure in love’s pure light
Beneath my Master’s favor
He freed me from the fowler’s snare
Where sin and shame had bound me
Deceived I’d made my refuge there
Till fearless He came for me

Wonderful, powerful
My hope and my defender
Mighty God, Emmanuel
My dwelling place forever


My dwelling place is God Most High
I’ll never seek another
For I am His and He is mine
My heart He’ll keep forever
I know the Name on Whom I call
He promises to answer
With life He satisfies my soul
And crowns me with His pleasure

Wonderful, powerful
My hope and my defender
Mighty God, Emmanuel
My dwelling place FOREVER!

Cochren & Co. - Church (Take Me Back)



Hi!

Today—embedded below—you'll find a 'music-only' video from Cochren and Co.—and their song, Church (Take Me Back).

The lyrics tell a familiar story many Christians know:  Looking for meaning but finding only emptiness in all the world has to offer.  But like the prodigal son of Luke 15:11-32 "coming to his senses"—each of us who are truly called by His name ultimately desire to return to fellowship with other believers—and join in praise and worship to our wonderful Lord and Savior—Jesus the Messiah!

2 Corinthians 1:3-4

-----------------------------------------

As you listen, it is always my prayer that you will allow God to speak his Love, Comfort, Healing, and Mercy into your heart and life.

Church (Take Me Back) - Lyrics

There was a time that I swore I would never go back
I was blind to the truth, didn't know what I had
I was running, I was searching
But every place I turned for healing
Left me more broken than the last

Take me back
To the place that feels like home
To the people I can depend on
To the faith that's in my bones


Take me back
To a preacher and a verse
Where they've seen me at my worst
To the love I had at first
Oh, I want to go to church


Tried to walk on my own but I wound up lost
Now I'm making my way to the foot of the cross
It's not a trophy for the winners
It's a shelter for the sinners
And it's right where I belong

Take me back
To the place that feels like home
To the people I can depend on
To the faith that's in my bones


Take me back
To a preacher and a verse
Where they've seen me at my worst
To the love I had at first
Oh, I want to go to church
I want to go to church


Oh, more than an obligation
It's our foundation
The family of God


I know it's hard
But we need each other
We're sisters and brothers


Oh, take me back
To the place that feels like home
To the people I can depend on
To the faith that's in my bones


Take me back
To a preacher and a verse
Where they've seen me at my worst
To the love I had at first
Oh, I want to go to church

We Are Messengers - Magnify - Music Video


Hello brothers and sisters,

Hope you are feeling Blessed today as you cling to the Lord of all—Jesus the Messiah!

Back in January of 2016, the Irish based band We Are Messengers posted a video for their song Magnify on their YouTube channel and you'll find that embedded below.

The song lyrics speak to the sometimes perplexing journey we, as Christians, find ourselves on—and our Lord's loving guidance through it all—as we keep our hearts and minds on Him.

Magnify - Lyrics

I've been trying to make sense of the sorrow that I feel
Holding on for life to the only thing that's real
I've only scratched the surface
I've barely had a taste

But just a glimpse draws my heart to change
And one sight of you lays my sin to waste
I don't need to see everything
Just more of you

Take it all, take it all away
Magnify no other name
Open up, open up my eyes
To you

Take it all, take it all away
Magnify no other name
Open up, open up my eyes
To you

My sight is incomplete and I've made you look small
I've been staring at my problems for way too long
Re-align where my hope is set, until you're all that's left

But just a glimpse draws my heart to change
And one sight of you lays my sin to waste
I don't need to see everything just more of you


Take it all, take it all away
Magnify no other name
Open up, open up my eyes
To you

Take it all, take it all away
Magnify no other name
Open up, open up my eyes
To you

God be greater, than the worries in my life
Be stronger, than the weakness in my mind
Be louder, let your Glory come alive
Be magnified!

God be greater, than the worries in my life
Be stronger, than the weakness in my mind
Be louder, let your Glory come alive
Be magnified

Take it all, take it all away
Magnify no other name
Open up, open up my eyes
To you, to you

Take it all, take it all away
Magnify no other name
Open up, open up my eyes
To you, to you

You Found Me - Lyrics

I was looking for an answer, for a way to stop the pain
When You came to me with healing (healing)
I was looking for a fix, when You broke these chains
What a beautiful feeling (feeling)
I was looking for a way back home

When I found healing for my wounded heart
I found mercy in Your open arms
I found freedom when You set me free
I found myself when You found me

I was looking for solutions when my world went up in flames
But You walked me through the fire
I was holding on to anger, with my fists around the reins
But You were holding me tighter

I was looking for a way back home

When I found healing for my wounded heart
I found mercy in Your open arms
I found freedom when You set me free
I found myself when You found me

When You found me,
I was lurking in darkness
When You found me,

When You found me
I was running and reckless
Now I'm running home
I was running away
Now I'm running home


When I finally found my redemption
You found me and You made me whole
Yeah, I didn't know that I've been missing
'Til You found me
When You found me

'Cause I found healing for my wounded heart
I found mercy in Your open arms
I found freedom when You set me free
I found myself when You found me

Farewell to all of my resentment
All my discontentment
Is forgiven and I let it go
Farewell to darkness and the silence
Anger from the violence
Is forgiven and I let it go

When You found me...

Callie Day Takes EVERYONE To CHURCH - America's Got Talent 2019



Hi brothers and sisters,

Last night I happened to catch Gospel Singer Callie Day performing Up To The Mountain on America's Got Talent 2019—and have shared a video of that below along with lyrics underneath it.

The video is cued to begin right before she starts singing at about 1:52—but you can use your player's controls if you want a look at some of her history and background that's shared in her introduction.

I LOVE her performance—and her sweet spirit and bold yet humble testimony for Jesus comes shining through.

It's wonderful to see even the "celebrity" judges—who sometimes seem a little jaded and cold—moved by her lovely voice and message.

Screen Capture Of Callie Day From The Video Below
 -------------------------------------------------

I pray this video will Bless you and lead you to the Lord of Love and Light—Jesus the Messiah and Savior—the King of kings and Lord of lords!

Up To The Mountain - Written by Patty Griffin - Lyrics
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_to_the_Mountain_(MLK_Song)

I went up to the mountain
Up over the clouds
And though the clouds are blue
I can wait no more

You see sometimes I lay down
No more can I do
See sometimes I look down
But I’m afraid I’ll fall

And though the sun is still shines
I have nothing, nothing at all

But then I hear your sweet, sweet voice
Oh, come and go,
Telling me softly
You love me so

Rhett Walker Band - When Mercy Found Me



Hello brothers and sisters,

Today's song, When Mercy Found Me, from the Rhett Walker Band tells a tale that many of us who finally fully surrender to Jesus can relate too.

Our lives taking twists and turns through the years, all leading down "broken roads" leaving us feeling lost and hopeless—but thankfully that's when we finally look up and discover our Savior Jesus patiently waiting for us with open arms and abundant Grace, Love, and Mercy.

If you are still on one of those dark and lonely roads—Jesus is the answer you've been looking for—as He is for each of us who come to Him and call Him the Lord of our lives.
