A Greeting and a Song
Good Monday morning, my dear Siestas!
Thank you for praying for all of us at Living Proof Live in Stockton, California! God gave us a fresh revelation of His Son this weekend (out of Revelation, as a matter of fact) and what more could we possibly ask except for the courage to act on it? For any of you who were there, thank you so much for allowing us the privilege of being your servants. I've thought about you constantly since I got home. I loved seeing the myriad of you at In-n-Out. I wouldn't leave California without an In-n-Out cheeseburger if my life depended on it.
There are certain songs I play and sing when I'm especially aware of Christ as the ultimate, uncontested love of my life OR if I'm especially in need of remembering. This is one of them. I have no idea how many times I've played it and Mark Schultz has no idea how many times I've sung back up for him. Not that he'd want to hire me and take me on the road or anything. But if he did, I'd walk one thousand miles, one thousand miles it's true, if he were heading straight to Jesus.
I would walk 1,000 miles
1,000 miles it's true
I would walk 1,000 miles
Just to be with You
[Chorus]
'Cause you've got my heart and you've got my soul
You've got this promise too
I would walk 1,000 miles
Just to be with You
If I could live 100 years
Before my life is through
If I could live 100 years
I'd spend them loving You
[Chorus]
Cause You've got my heart and you've got my soul
You've got this promise too
If I could live 100 years
I'd spend them loving You
If I could write 10,000 songs
10,000 songs it's true
If I Could write 10,000 songs
I'd Sing them all for you
[Chorus]
'Cause you've got my heart and you've got my soul
You've got this promise too
If I could write 10,000 songs
I'd Sing them all for you
(Mark Schultz, 1000 Miles)
SO, Siestas, what song reminds you personally that Jesus is the love of your life? I wish we had room for all the lyrics but here's what I'll request instead: the name of the song, the artist and the one line that especially gets to you.
Let's build each other up in the Spirit this Monday morning. Jesus is so worthy.
I love you, Siestas!

Made me Glad by Hillsong. I first heard this a an LPL event. The Lord really used it in my life. It is a reminder of all that He is in our lives.
Beth you've brought tears to my eyes this Monday afternoon (UK time). I have been away from from God for some time with depression building that wall between us. I don't know why but I feel 1,000 miles from Him and need to get back. One step at a time, I know, but learning which step to take will be the hardest. God bless.

One of my favorite songs is "Praise You in the Storm" by Casting Crowns. The title itself is my favorite line as it is a reminder that it is a choice to praise God, not a feeling. God has blessed me so much through my trials. He really does deserve the praise!
In the midst of a military move to Germany, I am living this out now!

The song that I love and speaks to me is "The Only Thing That's Good in Me is Jesus" by Ronnie Freeman. It's very powerful!
Just one??? Oh, this is tough....
Kirk Franklin
"Imagine Me"
"Imagine God whispering in your ear...letting you know that everything that has happened is now....GONE."
"My Redeemer Lives" from one of the Living Proof Live CDs...and my favorite line is "I know my Redeemer lives." For me, that's the whole deal...He's alive!
"You're my Beloved"
By Cari Jobe
I actually don't know if that's the Title, but I love it.
Mornin' Beth!
Right now the song that speaks to me is sung by Phillips,Craig and Dean. It is called "A Revelation Song", but the line that I love is,"With all creation I sing, Praise to the King of Kings, You are my everything,and I will adore You."
I love cranking up the music when I am home alone. It makes housecleaning bearable.
On a different note, I was jazzed this morning doing Day 1 of week 2 of the MM&L study and the Scripture she had was 2 Timothy 1:7. I just watched you teach on that last week on Life Today. I love when God blends things together like that!
Have an Awesome Monday, Siestas!
Amazing Grace by Chris Tomlin but love all versions :-)
"T'was Grace that taught...my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved."
Hugs to you all at LPM on this beautiful grace-filled Monday!
Kelli
Oh how I want to be able to truthfully say that Jesus is the love of my life like you do...The song that reminds me that He is truth is Voice of Truth by Casting Crowns "The voice of truth says do not be afraid...I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth."
While I'm Waiting
John Waller
I’m waiting on You, Lord, though it is painful...I will move ahead, bold and confident taking every step in obedience
I love the song from Kim Walker "How He Loves Us", if you can't believe He loves you after that one, then I don't know what to tell you. It gets me soooo pumped!
"Madly In Love With You" by Sean McConnell
"But I cannot count on all the signs
You’ve passed away as mere coincidence
And im running out of ways to break through
Like a lonely lover, Waiting by the ocean
Ill never give up on you...
[skip a few lines]
...I know you wish you could hear me
Sometimes it’s so hard to do
But every morning sunrise it says
I’m madly in love with you"
O Sacred Head Now Wounded
orig. written by Bernard de Clairvaux around 1100, later arranged by JS Bach
"O make me thine forever; and should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never outlive my love for thee." I feel such love for Jesus when I remember the debt he paid for me.

GIVE ME JESUS
...Give me Jesus,
Give me Jesus.
You can have all this world...
Give me Jesus.
Who am I, by Casting Crowns...."Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea, would look at me with love, and care to know my name."
Beth, What a party we had in Stockton! I was lead to Zephaniah 3:17 this morning where God sings over us, and delights in us. I so felt that, especially after we'd visited about playing with Him in the vineyard! Blessings, dear one! Your ministry blessed us mightily.
I love the song, In Christ Alone.
And the line that gives me chills is "...and as He stands in victory, sin's curse has lost it's grip on me. For I am His and He is mine.." I sing along loudly!
Susan
What a wonderful idea. Trying to narrow it done to just one is tough because there are just so many!
I'd have to go with Gateway Worship, Revelation Song, specifically the refrain. So powerful and a wonderful testimony to the One we worship.
Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come,
With all creation I sing:
Praise to the King of Kings!
You are my everything,
And – I - will - adore YOU…
The song that repeatedly sends me to my knees is "Revelation Song" sung by Kari Jobe (among others). Here's the chorus:
Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of Kings
You are my everything
And I will adore You
LOVE it!
In Christ Alone
by Travis Cottrell
"No power of hell,
no scheme of Man
can EVER pluck me from His Hand!
For I am His and He is Mine,
bought with the Precious Blood of Christ!"
Every time this makes me SHOUT!
I LOVE YOU!
Jan
So I sing, Because I'm Happy and I sing because I'm free, His Eye is on the Sparrow, and I know He watches me.
It's hard to choose one because singing really does make me happy-but this one came to my heart first.
Love and God blessings to you and all the readers.
Good Morning Bethie!
I was in Stockton this weekend and I have to say that the message was just what I needed!(loved seeing you too). Being single and not wanting to be, I have to say that my initial reaction to the message topic: From Bridezilla to Bride was not too appealing to me at first! Little bitter root there...but God, in His tenderness and enormous love spoke right to me. I'll write you a letter to tell you more (otherwise I'll go on an on here!)
Ok my song: I love all music but right now my favorite to sing along to is Resurrection Song by Phillips, Craig, and Dean (or Travis Cottrell!).
The line I like the most is "With all creation I sing praise to the king of kings, you are my everything, and I will adore you."
Happy Monday to you!
Definitely In Christ Alone - Travis' version. "Up from the grave He rose again!" It's a great reminder of what He suffered for me, and how much He loves me, and WHO HE IS!
Karen in CA
Oh, so glad you were in California and were able to get to "In-Out" Burgers....moon pies or In-Out cheeseburgers,such a decision ? The song that has recently encouraged me, by Israel Houghton, "I know who I am, I know who I am , I know who I am, I am yours, and You are Mine, Jesus you are Mine...." amen, my security is in Him, nothing else in this life is as sweet...bless you, Beth...Pam in San Diego

Hey y'all in Siestaville!
I love this post proposal because right now I am so excited that I found a song that made me fall head over heels in love with Jesus again last year at LPL in COLO SPGS. Revelation Song is on my lips most of the time these days, especially the last verse:
Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder at the mention of your name. Jeuus your name is power breathe and living water such a marvelous mystery. Choras:
Holy Holy Holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come. With all creation I sing praise to the King of kings, you are my everything and I will adore you!
OH HE IS OUTRAGEOUS IN HIS PRESENCE! This is one of those throne room songs for me..let's never stop praising Him!
"2000 years" by Travis Cottrell
Have a bless day!

"Mercy Said No"

You Are Everything by Matthew West
"I’m the one with big mistakes
Big regrets and bigger breaks
Than I ever care to confess.
Oh but, You’re the one who looks at me
And sees what I was meant to be
More than just a beautiful mess.
Where would I be without Someone to save me?
Someone who won’t let me fall?
You are everything that I live for
Everything that I can’t believe is happening
You’re standing right in front of me
With arms wide open
All I know is every day is filled with hope
You are everything that I believe for
And I can’t help but breathe you in, breathe again
Feeling all this life within every single beat of my heart."
"I AM" by Nichole Nordeman:
I will be weak, unable to speak,still I will call You by name “Creator, Maker, Life-sustainer,
Comforter, Healer, My Redeemer,Lord and King, Beginning and the End,
I am,yes, I am.”
Right now I'm loving Hosanna by Hillsong United. The bridge is my heartcry: "Heal my heart and make it clean. Open up my eyes to the things unseen. Show me how to love like You have loved me. Break my heart for what breaks Yours. Everything I am for Your kingdom's cause. As I walk from earth into eternity."
Good morning Miss Bethie :)
There are many songs that bring me to tears, but Revelation Song by Kari Jobe will do it EVERY time. The chorus is so powerful!
"Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of Kings
You are my everything
And I will adore youuuuu...." <3
I could list many songs that bless me and take me to the feet of Jesus, but my current favorite is "This is Our God" by Hillsong. The line that makes me weep is " I will fall at Your feet and I will worship You here." It makes me want to literally go face-first before His throne; when our praise team has sung it, we are all in tears before we finish.

The Voice of Truth
But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
The voice of truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth
Believing Him,

"You Are My King (Amazing Love) by the Newsboys
The chorus says it all. Amazing love, how can it be that You, my King, should die for me?
"Hope Now"
Addison Road
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free
What would we do without good Christian music? Right now I cannot get enough of Phillips, Craig & Dean singing their version of The Revelation Song -
"Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come - Praise to the King Who sits on heaven's mercy seat - You are my everything and I will adore You".
Love you, Beth !!!
My Beloved by Kari Jobe...the WHOLE song!! But I love,
"Under my mercy come and wait,
Until we are standing face to face,
I see no stain on you child.
Your beautiful to me...."

All Glory to God by Kathy Troccoli is just one of many..
Everything I say and do..
Eveything I am to you.. Oh I pray
that you will know that whatever is good in me.
Whenever there is
It's not my own...
Chorus...
All Glory to God ..All Honor is His
No other is worthy of His name
All Glory to God
Her music touches me so...
thanks for letting me share
Lichelle
It's hard to choose just one.... but the one guaranteed to bring me to my knees every time is the worship song "In Christ Alone" (I think several artists have recorded it).
My favorite verse:
". . . and as He stands in victory, sin's curse has lost its grip on me. For I am His and He is mine, bought with the precious blood of Christ."
The song is "How He Loves", performed by Kim Walker and Jesus Culture, on the CD 'We Cry Out'. And the line that does it every time is, "I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about - the way - He loves us!" !!!
-Jessica
Revelation Song
Kari Jobe
"Filled with wonder,
Awestruck wonder
At the mention of Your Name
Jesus, Your Name is Power
Breath, and Living Water
Such a marvelous mystery"
What a great treat this Monday morning! I'm so glad God told you I needed building up in the Spirit today!
Prayers and Blessings!

Untitled Hymn(Come to Jesus)
by Chris Rice
I love this song because it talks about how Jesus is with us in every situation.
My current favorite is "The Glory of It All" by the David Crowder Band.
....after all our hands have wrought He forgives ... oh the glory of it all is He came here for the rescue of us all that we may live
an old chorus I always go back to is:
There is none like You. No one else can touch my heart like You do. I could search for all eternity long and find there is none like You.
Man, isn't He just so Wonderful!!!
Leigh Ann Long
Macon, Ga.
"Age to age and heart to heart. Bound by grace and peace. Child of wonder, child of God, I remembered you...remember Me."
Don't know the artist, but I'm amazed how God shows us everyday that he remembers us and loves us!
I Will Rise Chris Tomlin
Name of Song: "All the Way My Savior Leads Me"
Artist: Chris Tomlin
Line: "This my song through endless ages...Jesus led me all the way"
Beth, I was with you in Stockton. Would you please post the words that we spoke into each others life at the end of the event? They were awesome and us girls want to have it on hand.
With love
The lyrics "I will never be the same again" has been so profound in my life. I don't know the artist but do know the One who changes the heart. I have never been the same again!!!
The song that moves me the most to realize who He is and how much He loves me is GOD OF ALL GODS by the Brooklyn Tabernace. The one line that always "gets me" is
"This Lord could see our desperation; Yet we never even knew we had a need"!!!!
"So take me as you find me, all my fears and failures, fill my life again" from Hillsong's "Mighty to Save" is always a timely reminder of God's unconditional, unfailing love, ever-ready to fill us, time and again. God bless and be encouraged today!
This is an older praise song, but Wayne Watson's "Almighty" always encourages me to keep on praising God, despite my personal circumstances.
I particularly love the line, "Let the rocks be kept silent for one more day." It is my heart's prayer that, as long as it is up to me, the rocks won't need to be called into action, because I'll keep on glorifying God in all that I do.
Of all of the songs it is an old Commadors song by Lionel Richie.
"Jesus IS Love." it is hands in the air greatness.
In Christ Alone
Avalon
The task of picking one line from this song that gets me most is just nearly impossible!
I love "Shout to the Lord" and sing it almost everyday. Many artists have done it, but I think Hillsong was the first who made it popular.
My favorite line -- can't help it, I've got two :)
"My Jesus, my Savior, Lord, there is none like you..." and "My comfort, my shelter, tower of refuge and strength..."
Makes you wanta sing, huh?! :)
Shout to the Lord by Darlene Zschech
I sing for joy at the works
Of Your hands
Forever I'll love You
Forever I'll stand
Nothing compares
To the promise I have
In You

"How Great Thou Art" sung by Martina McBride. (I think she really nails it!)
"And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin."
WOW! :)
"Walk By Faith" -- Jeremy Camp
I am so inspired by his praise and dedication to God regardless of the trials life has brought into his path. I strive to praise God in every circumstance every day!
Actually - two songs -
"In Christ Alone" - thank you, Lord, that Your entire Being is wrapped up in one song!
"It Is Well with My Soul" - Praise God! I can sing this song! (Well, actually not - 'cause I ALWAYS get overwhelmed by the lyrics and choke up!!!)

This songs puts me to my knees every single time.
"Who am I that you should suffer?"

Song Title: By Your Side
Artist: Tenth Avenue North
Line that gets me every time:
Look at these hands, and my side
They swallowed the grave on that night
When I drank the world's sin
so I could carry you in
and give you life
I want to give you life
My Savior My God by Aaron Shust. "My Savior loves, my Savior lives, my Savior's always there for me, my God He was, my God He is, my God He's always gonna be"
Avalon--"Everything to Me"
He's more than a story
More than words on a page of history
He is the air that I breathe, the water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
What a great post! I'm looking forward to reading the comments.
Here's mine:
"All I Want" - Michael W. Smith
I love the whole song, but the single line that gets me is:
"All the journeys I have walked, I know you've walked them too, all I want is to be faithful, all I want, is you."
Love,
Adrienne
Mark Harris.. One True God...
The line:
"I don't have sin that He doesn't forgive
And I don't have a heart that is worthy of His
But I have a God who still loves me."
The whole song just makes me start crying. It just hits me hard.
There are so many songs that make up my "play list" to remind me of God's love. Lately I've been turned on to a contemporary artist, John Mark McMillan. His song "How He Loves" is such a great song. I will admit, the nontraditional worship artist are not for everyone, but the line in this song "I do not have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way He loves us" makes so much sense to me. Thanks for this blog, thanks for these posts. Have a blessed day!
Music is huge to me and there are many, but I love "Knees to the Earth" by Watermark.
The line - "Beautiful Jesus, How may I bless your heart?" - is such a great reminder to me of not asking God to do something for me, but for me to ask what I can do for You?! Here I am Lord, what can I do today to bless You.
He's Been Faithful by the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir with Damaris Carbaugh
He's been faithful, faithful to me
Looking back His love and mercy I see
Though in my heart I have questioned
Even failed to believe
He's been faithful, faithful to me
While I'm Waiting
John Waller
While
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
"In Christ Alone" The version I listen to is by the Newsboys. I have two favorite lines from it.
--For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood
of Christ.
And
--No power of hell, no scheme of
man can ever pluck me from His
hand.
Glory!!
You Call Me Yours by Sandi Patty. The one line that really get's me every time I hear it is, "You call me strong at my weakest" What a glorious God we serve!!!!!
The Voice of Truth by Casting Crowns: Out of all the voices calling out to me, I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth!
In Christ Alone by Travis
"no power of hail no scheme of man can ever snatch me from His hand -

The More I Seek You by Kari Jobe
"I wanna sit at your feet,
drink from the cup in your hand,
lay back against you and breathe, feel your heart beat."
Beth-
So many to choose from. I love to sing worship songs! I sing all day long. I think my fav at this time in my life is "Above All" sung by Lenny LaBlank
"Above all powers, above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth.
Chorus:
Crucified
Laid behind the stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all..."
Repeat verse and then chorus.
Since at this time I seem to be struggling to truly grasp that Jesus loves me for me, it is the chorus that speaks to my heart.
Kels
The song that most gets me stirred with love for Jesus right now is "Behold he comes" and my favorite part is the chorus: "Behold he comes
Riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun
At the trumpet's call
So lift your voice
It's the year of Jubilee
For out of Zion's Hill salvation comes" I also like the ending lines" "There's no God like Jehovah".
He is so very worthy!!
Hillsong United
Savior King
“And now the weak say I have strength
By the spirit of power that raised Christ from the dead
And now the poor stand and confess
That my portion is Him and I'm more than blessed
Let now our hearts burn with a flame
A fire consuming all for your Son's holy name
And with the heavens we declare
You are our king”
Love, Amy in OK
Beautiful One -Tim Hughes
Really, it is the whole song but if I have to take one line, I guess the Chorus
"You opened my eyes to your wonders anew You captured my heart with this love ‘Cause nothing on earth is as beautiful as You"
Hillsong. . .
Jesus, Lover of my soul
Jesus, I will never let you go
You’ve taken me from the miry clay
You've set my feet upon the Rock, and now i know
I love you, I need you,
Though my world may fall, I’ll never let you go
My Saviour, my closest friend,
I will worship you until the very end!
Song: I stand for You
by: Tree63
A time will come
When everyone
Will turn there eyes
On the Risen Son
But until that day, this world will turn away
And so I’ll take Your hand -
(Jesus) I’ll always stand for You
Travis' version of "In Christ Alone/On Christ the Solid Rock". The good Lord has seen me on my knees in the middle of the kitchen because of that song many times...my neighbors, too, I'm sure!
"You are Everything"
Matthew West
"You're the One who looks at me and sees what I was meant to be - more than just a beautiful mess."
Life Song by Casting Crowns...the whole song.
"Magnificent Obsession"
by Steven Curtis Chapman
"Everything my heart desires,Lord, I want it all to be for you, Jesus, My Magnificent Obsession"
I love "Cry out to Jesus" by Third Day! The line that I love the most would probably be "There is hope for the helpless, Rest for the weary, Love for the broken heart. There is grace and forgiveness, Mercy and healing
He'll meet you wherever you are" Great post!
Elizabeth
this is one mark shultz song i haven't heard, so i'm going to have to go on a search for it!
the enemy had to be reminded of his place and his defeat this morning, as he was messin' with my prayer time, whispering LIES into my ear that i wrestled not to believe, so i'm grateful for the TRUTH of this song by Darlene Zschech, called Made Me Glad.
my favorite line is actually too long to post here, but it ends with describing the Lord as "my very present help in time of need."
that's what He was yesterday, is today, and will be tomorrow!
"Whatever You're Doing"- Sanctus Real
Whatever You’re doing inside of me
It feels like chaos, but somehow there’s peace
And it’s hard to surrender to what I can’t see, but I’m giving in to something heavenly.
Thank-you for coming out to Stockton! I was there and can't wait to see how God is going to use what was spoken into my life.he Worship rocked!
Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for You Jesus or in awe of You be still
Will I stand in Your presence or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine
This is from the group Mercy Me I am such a fan of their music and this is the chorus for " I can only Imagine" and I think I would fall down and then get up and dance.
Love in Christ,Glenda,Walhalla,SC
I love the song "How You Live" by Point of Grace. The line that says,"It's not who you know, it's not what you did, it's how you live." It's a great reminder that only with Jesus will my life be lived well!

So many songs!!
Here is one I posted on my blog today actually.
"One True God" Mark Harris
"So I don't need a temporary man made deity
When I got the real thing
I got the real thing"

I cannot hold a candle to her when I'm singing my heart out in the car. I know there are probably dogs throughout the county howling for no apparent reason into the air as my car passes by, but this song does a girl good.
Liz in Scott AFB, Illinois
A favorite is Chris Tomlin's "I Will Rise".
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees.
My Jesus I love thee, I know thou art mine.
For thee all the follies of sin I resign
My gracious redeemer my Saviour art thou
If ever I loved thee my Jesus tis now.
I love Thee because Thou hast first loved me,
And purchased my pardon on Calvary’s tree;
I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.
I’ll love Thee in life, I will love Thee in death,
And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath;
And say when the death dew lies cold on my brow,
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.
In mansions of glory and endless delight,
I’ll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright;
I’ll sing with the glittering crown on my brow,
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.
All Because of Jesus ~ Fee
It's all because of Jesus I'm alive
It's all because the blood of Jesus Christ,
Covers me and gave this dead man life
It's all because of Jesus I'm alive.
I LOVE music and have some favorite artists but this song sums it all up for me!
Blessings on this Monday morning,
Angie in Kansas
Oh don't you just love Mark Schultz? He's an old friend - we worked with youth together while he was still aspiring- can't tell you how many of his songs he wrote working with those kids- a true man of God.
I have so many favorites- but I think my all time favorite is "Remember Me" and really there isn't one line that does it for me- it's the whole song- and I tear up every time I belt it out in my car...ALONE.
I think he would be astounded at how many aspiring backup singers he has wouldn't he?
Music.... to pick just one line from one song...
Who Am I by Casting Crowns
Who am I, that the eyes that see our sin,
would look on me with love
and watch me rise again?
Hiding Place - Sara Groves:
You never meant for me to walk alone, You are always for me
As the truest lover of my soul, You hear my desperate calling

"Only the World"
"It's only the world I'm livin' in, only today I've been given"
"Revelation Song" by Phillips Craig and Dean.
The line "With all creation I sing praise to the King of Kings" thrills me to death! Can't put this on my ipod when I work out at the gym because I just can't keep my hands down - they lift up all by themselves, and I'd probably fall off the treatmill when I closed my eyes in praise!
Colleen from Canada
Ohh, Beth. That's like asking which child is my favorite! Here's my answer, at least for today:
Addison Road's "What do I know of Holy" A.MAZ.ING.
"What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?
Where have I even stood
But the shore along Your ocean?
Are You fire? Are You fury?
Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?
What do I know? What do I know of Holy?"
I was in Stockton and it was FABULOUS!!! Thank you for your inspiration and incredible motivation! The worship team ROCKED THE HOUSE!!!
My song is I Will Rise by Chris Tomlin. Worthy is the Lamb!!!
Thank you for all that you do!
My favorite song that inspires me so is "Revelation Song" by Phillips, Craig & Dean. Sometimes I wake up in the morning with it going through my mind, I love it when that happens!
"Jesus Loves Me This I Know."
My family was in a car accident in the snow when I was a little girl. Everyone was okay, but it was frightening. My family was in the emergency room, and I was sitting in the parking lot with a neighbor. I was shaken up and crying. He said when he was afraid, he always sang his favorite song in time to the windshield wipers.He turned on the wipers and started singing "Jesus Loves Me This I Know" as the windshield swept the snowflakes away. My fear was swept away, too, as I joined in - a comforting memory of long ago.
"Better is One Day" by Chris Tomlin!
Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts
Than thousands elsewhere..
so so true!!!!!!! :)
Thanks so much for coming to Stockton, Beth!! I was there and I was so filled with the love of God--Two days later and I'm still on a "high" from listening to God's word!
My favorite lyrics right now (and one that I kept singing to myself ALL. THE. TIME.) is from FRANCESCA BATTISTELLI's song "Free to be me"
"cause i got a couple dents in my fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
On my own i'm so clumsy
But on Your shoulders i can see
I'm free to be me"
I know that I am not perfect--FAR from it--but God loves me just the way I am with all my imperfections, flaws, insecurities--
God bless!!

Much of You by Steven Curtis Chapman

You've got my heart and my soul.. I am so glad that God knows me. what a comfort! and the song is named 1000 miles by Marc Schultz
Currently:
Meredith Andrews
Revelation Song
" Jesus, Your Name is Power
Breath, and Living Water
Such a marvelous mystery"
Ultimately:
Blessed Assurance
HOW could I pick a favorite line from this hymn???
Love you all!!
The song that reminds me that Jesus is the love of my life is Sufficient by Adie Camp. The chorus is most powerful: "'Cause when I am weak, Your strength is complete. It's perfect, completely all I need. Sufficient for me, Your grace and Your peace are perfect. Completely all I need. You're all I need.
"Today, I choose to follow you," (Today, As For Me and My House). From the CD "Today" by Brian Doerksen. Any song on that CD for that matter, is most excellent!
Travis Cottrell and band with "Made me glad". The words "You are my shield, my strength, my portion, deliverer, my shelter, strong tower, my very present help in time of need..." I feel the Lord's presence every time I worship Him with this song.
Christine
Richmond, VA
Philips Craig and Dean; You Are God Alone; In the good times and the bad you are on the throne and you are God alone. Actually the whole song!
The song that touches me most about Jesus being the one true love of my life:
"How He Loves" written by John Mark McMillan
I love the way this song is sung by our worship leader at Trinity Fellowship Pampa, Heather Land. But since she isn't available on CD, I'd recommend either David Crowder* Band as they just released a beautiful version of the song. (Kim Walker/Jesus culture is awesome too)
It's hard to choose one line, the whole song makes me cry every time I hear it! ...
"So heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss and my heart turns violently inside of my chest and I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way ... He loves us..."
(sorry, I know I gave too much info. here)
How Deep the Fathers Love For Us - gives me goosebumps everytime.
"His dying breath has brought me life I know that it is finished!"
Bring the Rain by Mercy Me
...the entire chorus!
Cheryl
I am still dancing and rejoicing after spending a glorious weekend with Beth in Stockton. I live about an hour away in a town called Rancho Murieta east of Sacramento. Beth did bring a new revelation to us here in California. She gave us a 7 step makeover and showed us how we can turn our bridezilla's into a strong, pure,spotless brides while we prepare and wait for our Bridegroom. I can hardly wait!! Thank you Beth for coming to Stockton and for bringing a fresh perspective of Rev 19. Travis led us in a song I have never heard before, We Will Dance. Our group has been humming and trying to piece the words together so we could find this song. We found it, and I would say this is my theme song while I wait for the coming of my Lord of Lords King of Kings.
Sing a song of celebration
Lift up a shout of praise
For the Bridegroom will come
The glorious One
And oh, we will look on His face
We’ll go to a much better place
Dance with all your might
Lift up your hands and clap for joy
The time’s drawing near
When He will appear
And oh, we will stand by His side
A strong, pure, spotless bride
We will dance on the streets that are golden
The glorious bride and the great Son of man
From every tongue and tribe and nation
Will join in the song of the Lamb
Sing aloud for the time of rejoicing is near
(Sing aloud for the time of rejoicing is near)
The risen King, our groom, is soon to appear
(The risen King, our groom, is soon to appear)
The wedding feast to come is now near at hand
(The wedding feast to come is now near at hand)
Lift up your voice, proclaim the coming Lamb
(Lift up your voice, proclaim the coming Lamb)
I heard this song just after discovering that God sings over us. The words were such life to me, and still are.
"Don't Get Comfortable"

I am gonna show you what I mean,

You are gonna live like you used to dream.

Right now I love the song "It Was You" by 12 Stones.
My favorite line: "It was you that showed me who I am And taught me how to stand for what I know is real"
I LOVE worship music!
Right now the song is "I'm Amazed" by Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir.
The chorus:
I'm amazed that you love me. I'm amazed that you care. Through your precious blood I've found pardon and my sins are washed away.

"You saw me broken, You saw me battered, You saw me filthy, You saw me shattered... and You said 'I want her, I love her... she's the one for Me. I choose her, I love her, My blood has made her clean... bring her to Me."
Overwhelmed~ Hillsong(Darlene Zschech)
"Faithful God, my heart is overwhelmed by you"
Everything Glorious~David Crowder Band
"You make everything glorious, and I am yours; what does that make me?"
I have a little note in the front of my Bible that says, "Am I making God smile today?"
Inspired by the Casting Crowns "Lifesong" lyrics":
May the words I say
And the things I do
Make my lifesong sing
Bring a smile to You.

"Jesus Saves"
Travis Cottrell
"Freedom’s calling;
chains are falling.
Hope is dawning, bright and true.
Day is breaking; night is quaking.
God is making all things new.
Jesus saves."
I love this song. Doesn't matter that it is a Christmas song. I typed out the lyrics after purchasing it from iTunes. But best of all, I am from the era of when one played a "45" over and over on the record player. And I do the same on the CD player. But I wore out that one track. So I made a playlist repeating "Jesus Saves" seventeen times, then burned to a CD. I left it in the CD player in the car...and my husband turned it on. He liked the song the first time, couldn't quite figure out why it played the second time, knew his wife was involved in the repetition by the third time. And being a good sport, listened to it all 17 times! Then later told me that he loves that I love Jesus.

I just can't make it through this song without bawling at God's mercy and grace and power an love for ME! The last verse gets me out of my "crying puddle" and back on my feet . . .
No guilt in life, no fear in death—
This is the pow'r of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home—
Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand.
Standing together,
Beverly, Stayton OR
Marvelous Light

"My dead heart now is beating,
My deepest stains now clean.
Your breath fills up my lungs.
Now I'm free. now I'm free!"
I love this because I know I would be so dead without Christ's sacrifice for me. It's only because of Christ I have breath and am free!
I hope somebody makes an Itunes playlist with these songs! I'd download it!
When my soul needs to sing to Jesus I reach for Amy Grant. What can I say, her voice just takes me where I need to go. No commentary here about anything but her music :)
The song I like best is El Shaddai - which I know technically doesn't translate to Jesus. But we're talking about the spirit of the law here, right?! The line that gets me is "Your most awesome work was done through the frailty of Your Son." Ooofta. Gets me every stinkin' time.

Chris Tomlin, "I will rise"...

Who doesn't need to know the truth of this in their heart today? the grave is overwhelmed. Praise God.

And You invite me in,Doesn't matter where I've been,Your arms are open wide,There's nothing left to hide"
Thankful to be invited in,

I love Tim Hughes' song called Everything. He sings through everything we do....sleep, breathe, etc....and asks God to be our "Everything." The most powerful line is..."Christ in me, Christ in me, Christ in me the hope of glory, Be my everything..."
P.S. I was in Stockton! The Lord was faithful to anoint you (as always). You gave us a "fresh word" and I thank you for being His faithful servant!!
My song has to be Alabaster Box, by CE CE winans.
"you weren't there the night he found me, you didn't know what I felt when he put his arms around me, and you don't know the oil in my alabaster box".
You Gave Your Life Away

"Magnificent Obsession"
cannot hear that song without knowing HE is the one and only and that I want Him.
I love Tim Hughes' song called Everything. He lists pretty much everything we do on a daily basis, and a powerful line is...."Christ in me, Christ in me, Christ in me the hope of glory, Be my everything...."
P.S. I was in Stockton, and the Lord was faithful to anoint you (as always)! You gave us a "fresh word" from the Word. Thank you for being His very faithful servant.
Ever since you had Travis play this on one of your teaching DVDs....."God Blessed the Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts:
"Every long lost dream led me to where You are,
Every broken heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into Your loving arms;
This much I know is true: That God blessed the broken roads that led me straight to You."

Right now, "The Revelation Song" has been speaking to me. I personally like it best the way Travis and the team do it!
Also, "Because of Who You Are" by Vicki Yohe is also a FANTASTIC song to inspire worship!
"Do I Trust You" Cheryl Salem "I will trust you Lord when I don't know why, I will trust you Lord till the day I die, I will trust you Lord when I'm lieing in pain, you were God before and you'll never change!" *Cheryl Salem has been thru so many tests and trials in her life (death of a child and diagnosed with colon cancer)and she so trusts God to get her thru....beautiful song of hope and trusting in God...I cry every time I hear it.
How Deep the Father's Love for us.
Stuart Townsend
"It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I knowthat it is finished"
I can't get through those words without tearing up when we sing it at church, but they're my favourite lines.

I was at the Stockton event! I've been telling people all weekend that there is just so much to process from it all, I don't even know where to start! Thank you for coming. It was refreshing. I didnt want it to end. I am trying to get a letter together to send in =)
As for a song, I love worship music, and I have no idea the name or the title but we sang it yesterday:
"When I think about the Lord, how He saved me, how He raised me, how He filled me with the Holy Ghost, how He healed me to the uttermost...makes me want to shout Hallelujah, thank you Jesus!"
When we sang Hallelujah yesterday, I thought of it in such a different light after hearing how you explained it from Revelation.
need to get the song, yes Jesus is woth every thing.He is the one & only KING Victoria Welch NC(Reidsville)
"How Deep the Father's Love For Us"
Various Artists
How deep the Father's love for us, how vast beyond all measure that He would give His only Son to make a wretch his treasure.
Actully the song "No one" by Alicia Keys. I was listening to it at a really sad time in my life and was doing the girl thing and letting the song make me cry, but I just could no go there, I could only think of that as my love song to God and his to me.
Something about music-maybe because it is eternal--
Mine is "Praise You in the Storm" by Casting Crowns and THE line that absolutely slays me:
"I barely hear You whisper through the rain, "I'm with you" and as Your mercy falls, I raise my hands and praise the God who gives and takes away."
He loves us so. ~Annette
The song that seems to mean the most to me is "Above all" by Michael W. Smith. I saw him perfom it at Creation Fest many years ago and there is something to be said for worshipping God with that many believers at the same time. I love the song because it reminds me that when He was nailed to the Cross it was me, above all else, that He was thinking about.
And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
--How Great Thou Art
The words to this old hymn are so sweet and descriptive but I'll choose this line as the one that makes my throat tight every time! Love you, too, Beth!
Steve Fee-"All Because of Jesus"
"And it's all because of Jesus I'm alive,
All because the blood of Jesus Christ,
That covers me and raises this man's life,

I will rise, on eagle's wings
