There is a Reason.

late at night I wonder why
sometimes I wonder why
sometimes I’m so tired
I don’t even try
seems everything around me fails
but I hold on to the promise
that there is a reason

late at night, the darkness makes it hard to see
the history of the saints who’ve gone in front of me
through famine, plague and disbelief
His hand was still upon them
cause there is a reason
there is a reason

he makes all things good
he makes all things good
there’s a time to live and a time to die
a time for wonder and to wonder why
cause there is a reason
there is a reason

I believe in a God who sent His only son
to walk upon this world and give His life for us
with blood and tears on a long, dark night
we know that He believed
that there is a reason
there is a reason

for the lonely nights
and broken hearts
the widow's mite
in the rich man's hand
and the continent
whose blood becomes a traitor

for the child afraid to close their eyes
the prayers that seem unanswered
there is a reason
there is a reason

Hi everyone!

It's been a while since I have been to this forum. Hope all is well.

I have been spending most of my time meditating on Jesus' teachings in the Gospels and because of that God has had me in this place of solitary worship for the past couple of weeks.

I have a new favorite worship song that I wanted to share. I created a little video which has the lyrics for those that are interested. It's a long song. A little over 12 minutes but worth every second.

Enjoy!


Edit: Ok, well, I guess Mingle doesn't like me linking to a FB ac****. My bad. The video is too long for YouTube.

Anyway, the song is called "Saviour King" by Hillsong United from their "All of the Above CD" and it is just awesome.

Sorry it wouldn't link.

Hi Michael!

Here is a link that is not as long...

Thanks Laura.

I do love that song. The version I had from CD was over 12 minutes long and I couldn't post it on Youtube. I didn't even think to look and see if there was a shorter version.

Thank you!

I didnt go thru all the pages to see if this has been posted...
This song means a lot to me

Tenth Avenue North... By Your Side


Why are you striving these days
Why are you trying to earn grace
Why are you crying
Let me lift up your face
Just don't turn away

Why are you looking for love
Why are you still searching as if I'm not enough
To where will you go child
Tell me where will you run
To where will you run

'Cause I'll be by your side
Wherever you fall
In the dead of night
Whenever you call
And please don't fight
These hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you

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

(Chorus 2x)

Cause I, I love you
I want you to know
That I, I love you
I'll never let you go

(Chorus 2x)

This is such an engaging, and powerful song with truly phenomenal, inspiring and empowering lyrics! I really love this song! No matter what kind of day I've had, it never fails to lift me up!
The song itself sounds a wee bit better on the CD naturally, but the video linked below is a pretty decent and quality version actually. I sincerely hope you all enjoy it!

Depeche Mode---Blasphemous Rumors


Girl of sixteen, whole life ahead of her
Slashed her wrists, bored with life
Didnt succeed, thank the lord
For small mercies

Fighting back the tears, mother reads the note again
Sixteen candles burn in her mind
She takes the blame, its always the same
She goes down on her knees and prays

I dont want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that gods got a sick sense of humor
And when I die I expect to find him laughing

Girl of eighteen, fell in love with everything
Found new life in jesus christ
Hit by a car, ended up
On a life support machine

Summers day, as she passed away
Birds
were singing in the summer sky
Then came the rain, and once again
A tear fell from her mothers eye

I dont want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that gods got a sick sense of humor
And when I die I expect to find him laughing

Amazing Grace,how sweet the sound.

The Blood of Christ


---------------------------------------------------------------------

The blood of Christ, Thy spotless Lamb,
O God, is all my plea;
Naught else could for my sin atone;
I have no merit of my own,
Which I can bring to Thee.

No sacrifice save His Who bore,
My load upon the tree,
No other plea which lips could frame,
No other blood, no other name,
Accepted is by Thee.

Since Christ has entered by His blood,
The holiest on high;
By that same hallowed blood stained track,
Thou welcomest the wanderer back,
And biddest me draw nigh.

Oh, wondrous cross! Oh precious blood!
Oh death by which I live!
The sinless One, for me made sin,
Doth now His wondrous heart within,
Eternal refuge give.

By that blest cross, that cleansing blood,
I know His power to save;
The merits of His work confess,
I stand in Him completely blest,
A conqueror o’er the grave.

"Amazing Grace" by Il Divo. This is an awesome rendition of the song.

Song: A Flowery Song

Beautiful day,
wonderful feeling,
this reason to sing,
psalms meaning songs singing praises all day long.
Joy fills the weak,
joy makes us strong.
Filled 'till we burst,
songs of praise to the God of the Universe.

Despite our selfish selves,
despite all loss of hope,
despite our lack of faith,
despite our stony hearts,
despite the waning moon,
despite the ebbing tide of how we think this world should be.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow,
praise Him all creatures here below,
praise Him above ye heavenly host,
praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Gray rainy day, down in the mud for us.
Don't feel I can sing,
songs to the God in control of the seasons.
But what's good and bad,
flow from the hands,
of the God with the perfect plan.
Filling us with joy, all of this will glorify.

"He Knows my name"
Jeremiah Yocom

Verse 1
He counts the stars one and all
He knows how much sand is on the shores
He sees every sparrow that falls
He made the mountains and the seas
He's in control of everything
Of all creatures great and small
Chorus
And He knows my name
Every step that I take
Every move that I make
Every tear that I cry
He knows my name
When I'm overwhelmed by the pain
And can't see the light of day
I know I'll be just fine
'Cause He knows my name
Verse 2
I don't know what tomorrow will bring
I can't tell you what's in store
I don't know a lot of things
I don't have all the answers
To the questions of life
But I know in whom I have believed
Chorus
He knew who I was when He carried my cross
He knew that I would fail Him but He took the loss
Chorus
Every step that I take
Every move that I make
Every tear that I cry

I like the way Rebecca St. James sings God of Wonders.

God bless you!!!

I see a lot of my favorites on here. Since I moved out to the country the little Methodist church I've been going to is contemporary but they're not as progressive in their music. I guess that goes with going from a church of 4000 people to one with 200. My all time favorite is Savior King by Hillsong United, but I do like From the Inside Out, Take it All, and some other artists like Tim Hughes and the Pasion crew.

Here is my favorite.
