I LOVE HOW THE LORD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH A SONG





I was sitting here fretting over having to speak in front of a group of people... I do not like to speak in front of people... I was asked one time to do an announcement at church and I asked the lady if they had ever had anyone throw up or have diarrhea, because I might be the first... I do not know if I could be any plainer(?) about how I feel about it... :)
Anyway - I had radio coming in through my TV and these two songs came on while I was sending out a prayer request through email...
I am so thankful for music and how the Lord speaks to me through it... The words to these songs are awesome... I pray for strength and may it be my Lord and Savior that shines through...

Living Dangerously in the Hands of God


How easy Jesus is forgotten amid the comfort of our lives;
Our flames become a flicker and faith a brilliant disguise;
Our Sundays become a holiday they're an empty exercise,
And the cost of real devotion seems so foreign to our lives.
Oh, Oh to gladly risk it all;
Oh, Oh to be faithful to His call;
Abandoned to grace and anchored in His love,
Living dangerously in the hands of God.
Our Lord He is a hiding place His Word is strong and sure;
Though the storms may reach around me in His love I stand secure;
So let me live like I believe it, and though my faith is prone to fail,
Though I cower under trials by His grace I shall prevail.
Oh, Oh to gladly risk it all;
Oh, Oh to be faithful to His call;
Abandoned to grace and anchored in His love,
Living dangerously in the hands of God.
There's safety in complacency;
But God is calling us out of our comfort zone
Into a life of complete surrender to the cross.
To live dangerously is not to live recklessly,
But to live righteously.
And it is because of His radical grace for us
That we can risk living a life of radical obedience to Him
You've got to walk on,
For the Lord He walks with us;
You've got to walk on,
Though it costs you everything.
You've got to pray on,

"For the eyes of the Lord moved to and froThrough out the earth that He may strongly support those Whose hearts are completely His." (2 Chronicles 16:9)

Oh, Oh to gladly risk it all;
Oh, Oh to be faithful to His call;
Abandoned to grace and anchored in His love,
Living dangerously,
Are you living dangerously,
Yes, we ought to be
Living dangerously in the hands of God.

You Are Not Alone

I search for love
When the night came and it closed in
I was alone but you found me where I was hiding and now
I'll never ever be the same
It was the sweetest voice that called my name saying
You're not alone for I am here let me wipe away your every fear
My love I've never left your side
I have seen you through the darkest night and
I'm the one who's loved you all your life
All of your life
You cry yourself to sleep cause the hurt is real and the pain cuts deep
All hope seems lost
With heartache your closest friend and everyone else long gone
You've had to face the music on your own but there is a sweeter song that calls you home saying You're not alone for I am here let me wipe away your every tear
My love I've never left your side
I have seen you through the darkest nights
And I'm the one who's loved you all your life
All your life Faithful and true...
Forever For my love will carry you....
You're not alone for I... I am here let me wipe away every fear...
Oh yeah My love I've never left your side
I have seen you through your darkest night
Your darkest night
And I'm the one who's loved you all your life All of your life
