AS THE DEER PANTETH


As the deer panteth for the water
so my soul longeth after thee....
You alone are my heart desire,
and I long to worship thee......


You alone are my strength my shield,
and you alone are my........



Wish I could remember the rest of the words


and another all time favorite is called:

SHALL WE GATHER(BY THE RIVER)



Shall we gather by the river,
where bright angel feet have trod,
yes we'll gatehr by the river,
somethign or other by the hand of god.


Again I can remember all the words, but both are very beautiful. And as a bit of trivia on shall we gather, it was originally writen and performed as a dearth (funeral song), however has come moreinto use in the spring time to praise the renewal of everything.

I love both of those songs Daniel.

As the Deer
Written by Martin Nystrom



Psalm 42:1
"As the hart panteth after the water brooks,
so panteth my soul after thee, O God."






As the deer panteth for the water,
So my soul longs after you.
You alone are my hearts desire,
And I long to worship You.

Chorus
You alone are my strength, my shield;
To You alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my hearts desire,
and I long to worship You.

I want you more than gold or silver,
Only You can satisfy.
You alone are the real joy giver
And the apple of my eye.

Chorus
You alone are my strength, my shield;
To You alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my hearts desire,
and I long to worship You.

You're my friend and You're my brother,
Even though you are a King.
I love You more than any other
So much more than anything.

Chorus
You alone are my strength, my shield;
To You alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my hearts desire,
and I long to worship You.

"The Blood Will Never Lose Power"
Selah


The blood that Jesus shed for me
Way back on Calvary
The blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never lose its power.

It reaches to the highest mountain
And it flows to the lowest valley
The blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never lose its power.

It soothes my doubts and calms my fears
And it dries all my tears
The blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never lose its power.

It reaches to the highest mountain
And it flows to the lowest valley
The blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never lose its power.

It reaches to the highest mountain
And it flows to the lowest valley
The blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never lose
It will never lose
It will never lose its power

That has nice lyrics, beauty. I shall have to see if I can find the music.

"I Trust You"
Skillet

Learning again that I am not my own
Crawling back to where I belong
Caught in between knowing You and trusting me
Come on take a ride out of the in betweens
Now I know I need You

[Chorus:]
When I can't see, I will trust You
And when I get weak, I trust You
And when I just can't let it go
I trust that You are in control

Shelter me so I can find some peace
Grabbing hold of You is letting go of me
It's easy when I remember I possess all that lays beyond my grasp
Your power commands the weight off my back
Now I know I need You

[CHORUS]

Now I know I trust You

Laura,
I had not found the original composer of the song, until I came across this. I think you will enjoy it:

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=MINTcQU1XvI

I am considering having this song at my wedding in 2009.

Any other suggestions would be welcome.

It's not a Christian song, but it's BEAUTIFUL.

"From this Moment On"
Shania Twain

(I do swear that I'll always be there. I'd give anything
and everything and I will always care. Through weakness
and strength, happiness and sorrow, for better, for worse,
I will love you with every beat of my heart.)

From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on

From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on

I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on

You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on

The jazzed up "In Your Presence"

In your presence
there is fullness of joy
and at your right hand
there are pleasures ever more.
You surround us
with your favor my lord
The earth is full of your goodness
the earth is filled with your love.
Exceedingly, abundantly, You give us all things to enjoy...

Joy... such unspeakable joy...

I love that song, beauty
and Daybrightener - I shall have to listen
to that one "In Your Presence"


One of my favorite hymns (to me it's a
worship song).

"Be Thou My Vision"

Blessings everyone.

Britty,

Like that suggestion beautyfrompain.



Indescribable Lyrics Chris Tomlin

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
You are amazing God
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same
You are amazing God
You are amazing God

Hi Laura, we are hoping for February 14th.
I really like Chris tomlin's music.

Here is another lovely video and the lyrics and a devotional below.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24spuXYeFKY&feature=related

How Deep the Father’s Love

Devotional based on the lyrics

"How Deep The Father's Love For Us" by Stuart Townend is an incredibly powerful presentation of the gospel (the good news) that Christ died for us with our guilt and sin "upon His shoulders".

Every verse of this song speaks volumes about God's work on the cross to bring us to Himself in spite of our sinful condition "that He would give His only Son to make a wretch His treasure"

"But God demonstrates His own love toward us,
in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us"
Rom 5:8 (NKJV)

Read through the words of the song and let its power and truths penetrate your heart. Reflect on God's love.

How deep the fathers love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give his only son
To make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory

Behold the Man upon the cross
My sin upon His shoulder
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice
Call out amoung the scoffers

It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything
No gifts no power no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from His reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
Our Jesus Christ is born.

When I was a seeker
I sought both night and day
I asked the Lord to help me
And he showed me the way.

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
Our Jesus Christ is born.

He made me a watchman
Upon a city wall
And if I am a Christian
I am the least of all.

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
Our Jesus Christ is born.

"Broken"
By:Kristy Starling

You said I'd have no more than I can handle
But everyday seems to be getting harder to make good
Through You, You said that I could do anything, oh anything
But sometimes, I feel like I can't do it at all
I've been knocked down and dragged around
And now I don't know which way to go
All I need is one small sign to put me to where,
Where You want me
I'm confused so I'm calling on You
Cause I, I'm broken
And I'm ready for you to pick up the pieces
Won't You direct me, hold me, accept me, and mold me
Put the fragments of my life back together again
Cause I'm broken
Somewhat embarrassed to admit this
But I wonder if it's the other, or if it's You
Is it trying to tempt me, or is it You
Who strengthens me
I'm weak, so I'm confessing to You
Cause I, I'm broken
And I'm ready for you to pick up all the pieces
Won't You direct me, hold me, accept me, and mold me
Put the fragments of my life back together again
Cause I'm broken
My pride has been bruised
I suppose that's good
My will to You, I surrender
Oh, I surrender
Cause I, I'm broken
And I'm ready for you to pick up all these pieces
Direct me, hold me, accept me, and mold me
Put the fragments of this life back together again
Cause I'm broken"

At Your Feet
By:Natalie Grant



She brought You oil, the purest gift she had
You washed her soul with her tears
Though more than a thousand years have passed
I still weep at how much that woman's just like me
And how much I want to be
[chorus]
At Your feet
Where I feel Your Spirit cover me
And the darkest of my sins, they are forgiven
What would You ask of me, I'd give up everything
Just so I can be at Your feet
I know one day I will open up my eyes
To the wonders of Heaven foretold
And I'll see that glorious mansion on high
But, I'll be content just to see Your face
If I can just find my place
