Song of the Week 1-10

#1-AMAZING GRACE

Amazing grace how sweet the sound, 
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found.
Was  blind but now I see.

Twas grace that taught my heart to fear.
And grace my fears relived. 
How precious did that grace appeared.
The hour I first believed.

 Through many dangers, toils, and snares.
I have already come.
Tis grace hath  brought me safe thus far.
And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures.
He will my ship and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yeah when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease.
I shall posses within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

The world shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun shall cease to shine.
But God  who called me here below,
Shall be forever mine.

When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to see God's praise.
Then when we'd first begun.

#2 -I HAVE PRAYED FOR THEE

Jesus came to Simon just before he went astray.
Knowing his denial was not very far away.
Saviour gently called his name and let  their eyes did meet.
Satan has desired to have you that he may sift you as the wheat.

CHORUS
But I have prayed for thee,
And I have cried for thee.
Let thy faith fail not.
For there will be others someday,
That will lead you to pray.
So I have prayed for thee.

We have Christian friends around us,
Satan wants them too.
They'll miss the  joy of serving God,
This world will never do
Let's not let another person fall beside the way.
Let us care enough to help them, may our hearts cry out and say.

#3 -FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

Mordecai came to Esther. 

He said "It is up to you. 
You must go to the King to deliver, 
Your people, the Jews."

But Esther showed fear when she said, 
"I might as well be dead." 
That's when Mordecai would not back down. 
He said to reply like this.

CHORUS:

"Who knoweth whether thou art come into thy kingdom, for such a time as this.
 You might have other plans in your mind but your thoughts, are not as high as his.
 If you run from God's will, all that you will find is a dead.
 So step up to what God has for you, for such a time as this."

You have a future ahead of you, 
You have goals and dreams.
 A doctor, a lawyer, a pastor, 
So many choices, it seems. 
But when you make your choice,
Don't ignore the Holy Spirits voice.
For you will be miserable if you don't do,
What he has planned for you.

#4-I Will Rise

There's a peace I've come to know
Though my heart and flesh may fail
There's an anchor for my soul
I can say "It is well"

Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead.

Chorus:
And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise

There's a day that's drawing near
When this darkness breaks to light
And the shadows disappear
And my faith shall be my eyes

Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead

Chorus

Bridge:
And I hear the voice of many angels sing,
"Worthy is the Lamb"
And I hear the cry of every longing heart,
"Worthy is the Lamb"
[x2]

Chorus

#5-The King's Daughter.
 Louisa sang this for Mother's Day. SOOOOO CUTE!

#6-Bow the Knee

There are moments on our journey,
Following the Lord.
When God illumines every step we take.
There are times when circumstances,
Make perfect sense to us.
As we try to understand each move He makes.
When the path grows dim,
When our questions have no answers,
Turn to Him.

Bow the Knee.
Trust the heart of your father
When the answer goes beyond what you can see.
Bow the knee,
Lift your eyes, towards Heaven
And believe the one who holds eternity.
And when you don't understand,
The purpose of His plan.
In the presence of the King,
Bow the knee.

There are days when clouds surround us,
The rains begin to fall,
And the cold and lonely winds won't cease to blow.
And there seems to be no reason,
For the sufferings we feel.
We are tempted to believe God does not know.
When the storms arise,
Don't forget we live by faith and not by sight.

#7-It Has Always Been the Soldier

It's not CBS, or NBC, ABC, or CNN, that's given us the freedom of the press.
Not TV Preachers, Larry King, Sean Hannity, or Jesse Jackson.
Giving us the freedom, to verbally express.
Not he Campus Organizer, or all the demonstrations.
Giving us the freedom to march, freely march and disagree, Oh can't you see.

CHORUS:
It has always, been the soldier.
Who has made, the sacrifice.
Standing strong and proud in battle.
Willing to lay down his life.

Somewhere there's a soldier, and he's looking at a picture pf his little girl, how he wishes he were home.
And somewhere there's a soldier, and he's reading a love letter from his wife, and she is telling him how she feels so all alone.
And somewhere there's a mom and dad, who cry late in the night.
For a son who won't be coming home, a son who gave his life.
Freedom isn't free, oh can't you see.

Bridge:
To the angry who shakes his fist, and burns he stars and stripes.
The same flag that drapes the coffins, of those who gave their lives.
There's no other place that you will go, or you have ever been.
Where the blood of soldiers gives the right, to burn that flag again.

CODA:
It has always, been he soldier.
On the land, in air and sea.
It has always been the soldier.
Fighting for our liberty.
Fighting for our liberty.

#8-Sheltered By His Grace

I missed out on heartaches this world feels every day.
And I missed out  on a broken home that would steal my joy away.
And I missed out on all the things they said, I'd miss out on.
Oh but somehow I've a heart of peace, while their good times are gone.

CHORUS:
I've been sheltered by His grace.
Kept in a safe place.
Protected by the prayers of those who always sought His face.
In a world of shifting sand, I can hold onto their hand.
For they've guided me in  how to run this race.
As the years go by, I'm sheltered by His grace.

Grace can take the sin away, that's stained a soul for years.
Grace can keep a life that's pure from shedding bitter tears.
And the grace that's brought me safe thus far, will safely lead me on.
For the truth they've instilled me, will last when they are gone.

#9-Joshua 1:8

  This book of the law, shall not depart out of thy mouth but thous shalt meditate in it day and night; that thou mayest observe, to do according to all that is written therein, for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous and then thou shalt have good success.
