How Great Thou Art - Carrie Underwood Vince Gill

Video Of Live Performance — And Lyrics Below

Zechariah 9:9

Hi!

Today's musical performance video features a beautiful performance of the great hymn How Great Thou Art by Carrie Underwood Vince Gill during the Academy of Country Music "Girls Night Out" Awards.

Here are some thoughts if either of those names evoke negative feelings:

Sometimes when it comes to Christian music — God's people will look at the musicians and singers involved and judge the music based on their lifestyles and walk.

While I don't disagree that there is some place for that when it comes to who we support with our money (ie: by attending their concerts and purchasing their work, etc.) — we can also sometimes simply rejoice that when entertainers of all kinds sing praises to our Lord and King — regardless of their own personal "walk" or beliefs.

This brings to mind when Jesus entered Jerusalem seated on a colt — the religious leaders told Him to silence the people who were shouting praises to His name.

I love Jesus' reply found in the story about it Luke 19:40:

Luke 19:30-40

Or — in a similar way — the Bible reveals that the High Priest Prophesied when he and the Jewish leaders conferred about killing Jesus:

John 11:49-52

The God breathed Bible is making it clear to us that He can speak about Himself through everyone (and everything)!!

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

So please give this beautiful tribute to our Lord and Savior by Carrie Underwood and Vince Gill a spin and let it speak to your heart about our Lord's unfailing Grace, Mercy, and Love!

How Great Thou Art - Lyrics

O Lord my God,
When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;

I see the stars,
I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed

Then sings my soul, 
My Savior God, to Thee
How great Thou art, 
How great Thou art!

Then sings my soul, 
My Savior God, to Thee
How great Thou art, 
How great Thou art!

When Christ shall come,
With shout of acclamation
And take me home,
What joy shall fill my heart

Then I shall bow,
In humble adoration
And then proclaim:
"My God, how great Thou art!"

Then sings my soul, 
My Savior God, to Thee
How great Thou art, 
How great Thou art!

Then sings my soul, 
My Savior God, to Thee
How great Thou art, 
How great Thou art!

How great Thou art,  
How great Thou art!

In The Valley He Restoreth My Soul - Lyrics

When I'm low in spirit,
I cry Lord lift me up,
I want to go higher with Thee,
But the Lord knows I can't live on the Mountain,
So He picked out a valley for me,

He leads me beside still waters,
Somewhere in the valley below,
And He draws me aside,
To be tested and tried,
In the valley He restoreth my soul,

It's as dark as a dungeon,
And the sun seldom shines,
And I question Lord why must this be?
Then He tells me there's strenght in my sorrow,
And there's victory in trials for me,

Chorus

How Great Thou Art - Refrain

Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!

What Mercy Did For Me - Lyrics

I was hopeless
I knew I was lost
Death and Darkness were my only songs

I needed someone to come to rescue me
And mercy heard my plea

Lord, You found me 
You healed me 
You called me from the grave

You gave me your real love 
I thank you Jesus
You washed my sins away

And now I'm living 
Like I'm forgiven 
You came to set me free 
and that's what Your mercy did for me

You gave beauty
For my guilty stains
And now I'm living
Day to day by His grace
So excuse me if I can't contain my praise
'Cause I know that I've been saved

Lord, You found me 
You healed me 
You called me from the grave 
You gave me your real love 
I thank you Jesus 
You washed my sins away 
And now I'm living Like I'm forgiven 
You came to set me free 
And that's what Your mercy did for me 

And every morning Mercy will restore me 
I will proclaim!
And even if the world may fall before me
I will proclaim!

'Cause Lord, You found me 
You healed me 
You called me from the grave 
You gave me your real love 
I thank you Jesus 
You washed my sins away 
and now I'm living Like I'm forgiven 
You came to set me free 
and that's what Your mercy did for me 

That's what Your mercy did for me

Can't Nobody — Lyrics

Can't Nobody
Can't Nobody
Thank you, Lord

The way you love me
The way you keep on keeping me, Jesus
Can't nobody do me like you do

The way you wrap me in your arms and hold me
Jesus
Can't nobody do me like you do

It's a mystery to me
Why you love me the way you do
So long suffering
Even when I'm lost and confused

Never known any love that's quite like this
That's able to keep me from falling
And present me ***
The way

The way you love me
The way you keep on keeping me, Jesus
Can't nobody do me like you do

The way you wrap me in your arms and hold me
Jesus
Can't nobody do me like you do

Can't nobody
Can't nobody

Let's get ready to lift him up
Yeah
Right there — Right there
Can't nobody do me like you — Yeah

Lord before I came to know you
I had my head hanging low
Burdened down so heavy
'Til you eased my troubled soul

Now I'm moving in a new direction
By your Grace, Your Mercy — And by your Protection

You keep me from danger
 ****
And when trouble rises
You are right there to deliver me

I want to thank you
And give you the praise
For Lovin' me the way You do

The way you love me
The way you keep on keeping me, Jesus
Can't nobody do me like you do

The way you wrap me in your arms and hold me
Jesus
Can't nobody do me like you do

Go ahead now

Nobody
(Nobody)

Gospel Reggae— DaJourney - Break Every Chain

John 14: 6

Hi!

Hope you are feeling Blessed!

Today you'll find a "music-only" video from DaJouney and his Gospel Reggae version of Break Every Chain.

This beautiful song was written by Will Reagan and first performed by United Church Band.

https://www.allmusic.com/artist/will-reagan-mn0003025339/biography

But it has clearly struck a chord with Christians around the world — and many others have performed and/or recorded it — including Tasha Cobbs and Jesus Culture.

While sorting through the many versions — I found one by DaJourney who puts a Reggae Gospel vibe to it — and LOVE what he did with it.

The lyrics are beautiful in any version — but DJourney adds some unique verses to his recording.

Hope you'll agree — and let our Lord Jesus pour His love and Comfort out on your heart and spirit as you listen!

Lyrics below





Break Every Chain - Lyrics

Hallelujah!
Does anybody believe there's power in the name of Jesus?

Troubled waters all around me — I won't fear
(I won't fear)
Lord, You promise where I am that You'll be there
(You'll be there)
My burdens pressing in — My heart is in despair
(In despair)
So many things are preventing me from calling Your name

I know my head's under water 
But I'm breathing fine
Some say I'm crazy
And I'm out of my mind

There is power in the name of Jesus
There is power in the name of Jesus
There is power in the name of Jesus

To break every chain
Break every chain
Break every chain

To break every chain
Break every chain
Break every chain

There's an army rising up
(Rising — Rising)
There's an army rising up
(Rising — Rising) 
There's an army rising up
(Rising — Rising)  

To break every chain
Break every chain
Break every chain
 
To break every chain —
Every chain is broken — Yeah
Break every chain
Oh — Yeah —

You gave Your all for me
I give my all to You
Love Your Kindness and Mercy
You're my drink when I am thirsty

You gave Your all for me
I'll give my all to You
Love Your Kindness and Mercy
You're my drink when I am thirsty — yeah....

I know my head's under water 
But I'm breathing fine
Some say I'm crazy —
And I'm out of my mind 

There is power in the name of Jesus
There is power in the name of Jesus
There is power in the name of Jesus

To break every chain
To break every chain
To break every chain

There's an army rising up
(Rising — Rising)
There's an army rising up
(Rising — Rising) 
There's an army rising up
(Rising — Rising)  

To break every chain
To break every chain
Break every chain

I hear the chains broken
I hear the chains falling
I hear the chains broken
I hear the chains falling!

Zach Williams - Chain Breaker

Psalm 107:13-14 — Image - George Hodan

Hi!

Today's song in my drafts for quite a while — but I just revisited it and gave it a fresh look and listen and decided to finally share it.

Zach Williams is a Grammy winning Christian singer from Jonesboro, Arkansas — and the song Chain Breaker is from his 2016 CD with the same title.

Although the video isn't a traditional "music video" or footage from a live performance — it displays the lyrics in a very cool way — with appealing graphics and animations.

The most important part is that it points the way to Jesus!

I pray as you give this a listen — you'll feel the warmth of our Lord's power and Love come radiating on and through you!!

People Get Ready · Al Green

Lyrics From People Get Ready

Hi!

Recently, I posted Jonny Lang's I Believe From the 2009 compilation CD Oh! Happy Day to this blog.

https://godsbigshow.blogspot.com/2018/08/jonny-lang-i-believe.html

Another awesome track on that album is a cover of the late Curtis Mayfield's People Get Ready sung  by the Reverend Al Green — along with singer Heather Headley.

Green has been a staple of pop, R & B, and Gospel music for many years — (in 2004, he was inducted into the Gospel Music Association's Gospel Music Hall of Fame) — and I love what he and Headly have done with this song. 

They left out a few of the ambiguous lyrics from the original version — but best of all they added two break-down sections of Thanksgiving and Praise to our Heavenly Father.

I find it quite uplifting and moving — and pray that you do too — and that his song Blesses you and fills your heart with God's Comfort, Peace, and Love!





People Get Ready Lyrics

People get ready
There's a train a comin'
You don't need no ticket
You just thank the LORD!

People get ready
There's a train a comin'
You don't need no ticket
You just get on board

All you need is faith
To hear the diesels humming
You don't need no bags
You just thank the LORD!

People get ready
There's a train to Jordan
Picking up passengers — from coast to coast

All you need is faith
Open the doors and board 'em
Don't need no ticket
You just get on board!

Break-down:

Thank you LORD!! < repeats

People get ready
There's a train a comin'
And you don't need a ticket
You can just get on board

But you gotta have a pity on those — who chances grow thinner
There's Life for all — on the Kingdom's throne

People get ready
There's a train to Jordan
Picking up passengers (Oh!  The Master's conin'!)— from coast to coast

Faith is the KEY
To hear the diesels humming
You don't need no ticket
You just thank the LORD!
