God Almighty ~ Chris Tomlin

Like the water's roar
Is Your voice, O Lord
There is none before
And none beside.
Like the water's roar
Is Your voice , O Lord
There is none before
and none beside.
You are set apart.
You alone are God.
Your glory reaches far,
from sky to sky.
Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty
Early in the morning we will sing.
Holy, Holy, we bow down before Thee.
All Your children love to sing Your name,
God Almighty.
You're the breath of life.
You're the God on high.
Your song shall rise,
And never pass away.
O, Your Majesty,
Evermore shall be.
The earth, the skies, the sea
Shall bring You praise.
Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty.
Early in the morning we will sing.
Holy, Holy, we bow down before Thee.
All Your children love to sing Your name,
God Almighty.
God Almighty.
And I hide my eyes
With my face to the ground
In the presence of Your Majesty.
And I clap my hands
And I lay my crowns
In the presence of Your Majesty.
And I hide my eyes
With my face to the ground
In the presence of Your Majesty.
And I clap my hands
And I lay my crowns
In the presence of Your Majesty.
And I hide my eyes
With my face to the ground
In the presence of Your Majesty.
And I clap my hands
And I lay my crowns
In the presence of Your Majesty.
You are Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty
Early in the morning we will sing.
You are Holy, Holy, we bow down before Thee
All Your children love to sing Your name.
God Almighty.
God Almighty.

This song thrills me to my soul.  I have a hard time listening and not dropping to my knees in humble adoration to Him.  Covering my eyes, and rocking to the music.  Holy!  Holy!  Holy!
The violins!  OH!!!!!!!  I so wish I knew how to play, and play well.  It is just like they are straining to voice their praise as well.  I can't wait to hear the heavenly host praising and singing this song.

In Christ Alone ~ From Brian Littrell

In Christ alone will I glory, though I could pride myself in battles won.  For I've been blessed beyond measure, and by His strength alone I've overcome.  Oh, I could stop and count successes like diamonds in my hand.  But those trophies could not equal to the grace by which I stand. 
In Christ alone, I place my trust, and find my glory in the power of the cross.  In every victory, let it be said of me... my source of strength, my source of hope is Christ alone. 
In Christ alone will I glory, for only by His grace I am redeemed.  And only by His tender mercy, could reach beyond my weakness to my need.  And now I seek no greater honor, in just to know you more.  And to count my gains but losses, to the glory of my Lord.
In Christ alone, I place my trust, and find my glory in the power of the cross.  In every victory, let it be said of me... my source of strength, my source of hope is Christ alone.

Music

I LOVE music.  It is something that pierces my soul.  It puts me into a closer communion with God.  I can't wait to get to heaven to hear the singing, the instruments, the praises and adorations being sung to HIM.  Oh, how many times I have wished I had the talent of singing or playing an instrument.  I can sing passably, can play very little on the piano, but I do not possess the ability at all to be able to belt it out whenever I feel the urge...which is often.  When I am in the car though, and by myself, I often will sing at the top of my lungs and pray that no one I know drives by and sees me.  They would get a good belly laugh.  Some songs just make me pause and meditate on what God is teaching me through the words sung.  I am so thankful for the artists who have the talent and who are willing to share it by their music and instruments.   
So, under Music I am going to write the words of songs that have been speaking to me.
