Albertine

Tonight, I went with my friends to see Brooke Fraser (from Hillsong) in concert at the Cat's Cradle in Carrboro. This is one of my absolute favorites of her songs. As Bemi and I were saying tonight, basically all she has to do is right a song about orphans/children and we will love it! But seriously, this song is beautiful! I was literally crying tonight thinking about and missing my kids in India.

Enjoy! 

You Hold Me Now

This is another of my favorite songs. We've sung it a couple of times in Cornerstone, always making me tear up, and I never knew who it was by. Of course, its by Hillsong- who else?

You Hold Me Now 

 

On that day when I see
All that You have for me
When I see You face to face
There surrounded by Your grace
All my fears swept away
In the light of Your embrace
Where Your love is all I need
And forever I am free

Where the streets are made of gold
In Your presence healed and whole
Let the songs of heaven
Rise to You alone

No weeping no hurt or pain
No suffering You hold me now
You hold me now
No darkness no sick or lame
No hiding You hold me now
You hold me now

 In this life I will stand
Through my joy and my pain
Knowing there's a greater day
There's a hope that never fails
Where Your Name is lifted high
And forever praises rise
For the glory of Your Name
I'm believing for the day

 Where the wars and violence cease
All creation lives in peace
Let the songs of heaven
Rise to You alone

 For eternity
All my heart will give
All the glory to Your Name

Another song that I love

So many songs today! Here's another one that I absolutely love!

Desert Song

This is my prayer in the desert

And all that's within me feels dry

This is my prayer in the hunger in me

My God is a God who provides

And this is my prayer in the fire

In weakness or trial or pain

There is a faith proved of more worth than gold

So refine me Lord through the flames.

I will bring praise

I will bring praise

No weapon formed against me shall remain

I will rejoice 

I will declare

God is my victory and He is here

And this is my prayer is the battle

And triumph is still on its way

I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ

So firm on his promise I'll stand

All of my life

In every season
You are still God

I have a reason to worship

This is my prayer in the harvest

When favor and providence flow

I know I'm filled to be emptied again
This seed I've recieved I will sow

It's a really beautiful song, with a great story behind it. Watch it here. What a great reminder that sometimes we have to worship our way into worship, even when we don't feel like it.

Love this song!

We sang this hymn at church today, love it!! Here's my favorite voice.

Simply trusting Thee, Lord Jesus,

I behold Thee as Thou art,

And Thy love, so pure, so changeless,

Satisfies my heart.

Satisfies its deepest longings,

Meets, supplies its every need,

Surroundeth me with blessings,

Thine is love indeed.
