Come and Dance (Song Lyrics)

In the darkness, You are with me
Inviting me to dance in the light, dance in the light
Your power and love have rescued me
Made me whole and set me free
I'm secure in Your arms, Your might

Ooooh, the thrill of Your peace!
Ooooh, the joy of Your love!
Ooooh, I delight in You
I'm in love with You O My God above!

I will take Your hand! I will take Your hand!
I will come and dance! I will come and dance!
Leave it all behind: all my fears and hurts,
All my treasured gains: I will count as dirt!

In my weakness, You are still here
Inviting me to sit at Your feet, look up at Your face
Your gentleness wipes away my tear,
Dries my eyes to see You clear
I'm restored by Your mercy, by Your grace

I will take Your hand! I will take Your hand!
I will come and dance! I will come and dance!
I will let it go - cause of what You're worth!
It surpasses all the Earth!

Fall on me!
Lord, I will follow You
Lord, would You fall on me
That I may follow You?

Call for me and I'll take Your hand
Call for me and I'll come and dance!
Call for me cause all I want is You!

Everytime (Song Lyrics)

Every time I stumble,
I pray that Your grace would bring me back in
Every time I walk away from You,
I pray that You would destroy my sin

Lord God, You are holy
Lord God, You hold me
And in Your presence I am free!

Every time I sing out Your praise
May Your Spirit move in me
May I glorify You for all my days
And forever claim Your victory!

Lord God, You are holy
Lord God, You hold me
And in Your presence I am free!

Thank you for the cross
That changed me from the inside out
Thank you for your love
That showed me what this life's about

Lord God, You are holy
Lord God, You hold me
And in Your presence I am free!

Everytime I doubt or fear
May You be my strength and my song
Everpresent God I know that You are here
It's to You that I belong!

Lord God, You are holy
Lord God, You hold me
And in Your presence I am free!

Glorious are You, God almighty
Victorious am I, Christ in me

Christ In Me - the Hope of Glory

Let me tell you how AWESOME, how AMAZING, how INCREDIBLE and LOVING God is!

So yesterday I was very upset and the word a friend gave me was "weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning" which is from Psalm 30:5 (NIV). I didn't really feel that when I woke up this morning but I just ... See moregave it to God and prayed He would make it a reality and I would delight in Him.

I hadn't really prepared for Sunday School this morning because I was too busy being upset last night. But the pastor shared a little something with the kids about being right with God, so I ended up doing that lesson which happened to be in the book of lessons I had with me. I was going through Romans 5:1-11 with the kids and the passage really spoke to me - it was a little love note from God to me! Verses 2-5 in the International Children's Bible says: "Through our faith, Christ has brought us into that blessing of God's grace that we now enjoy. And we are happy because of the hope we have of sharing God's glory. And we also have joy with our troubles because we know that these troubles produce patience. And patience produces character, and character produces hope. And this hope will never disappoint us, because God has poured out his love to fill our hearts. God gave us his love through the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to us."

Amen! What reason we have to rejoice, even in suffering! How wonderful it is to be a child of God! Christ in us - the hope of glory!

But wait - there's more (because God is just so lovely and He pours out His blessings upon us)! Lately I have been feeling pretty useless evangelism-wise, like I'm not making a difference. But on the bus I happened to sit next to a woman (who has had a really tough life) and I was able to share my faith and the gospel with her! She used to be a drug addict and now wants to get straight so I shared 2 Corinthians 5:17 with her and told her that she can be set free and made new in Christ. She said that she's done some horrible things in her life and didn't think she could be forgiven but I said that Jesus has paid for her sins and there is now no condemnation for her if she is in Him (Romans 8:1). Oh to see the glimmer of hope it brought to her eyes! We swapped numbers and she wants to come to church next week!

Praise God for He is so loving! Praise God for He is faithful! Praise God for using me even at my weakest! Oh the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord!! Nothing on earth is as beautiful as Him! In this world we will have tribulation but He has overcome the world (John 16:33)! His grace is sufficient for me, for His power is made perfect in weakness (2 Cor 12:9)! Slowly but surely God's Spirit is transforming me and I can decrease that He may increase and shine out of me to speak into people's lives!

Christ in me - the hope of Glory!! =D

What Easter Means to Me

Let me declare

In deserts bare
In cities everywhere

What God has done
Through His Good Son
That you may be aware

Let me be clear
So your ears hear
So your eyes would perceive

And your heart bend
To comprehend
So that you may believe

The breadth and length
height, depth and strength
of God's love for mankind

Which He has shown
And has made known
So His right path you'd find

Lost I once was
Deceived by laws
I followed my own way

Thinking I'd skate
to Heaven's gate
Though sin led me astray

But God reached out
I have no doubt
Of His good Will and Plans

My God knows best
In Him I rest
Secure, safe in His hands

My life has changed
My God arranged
A Reconciliation

My sins atoned
Through Christ alone
I am a new creation

Up on that tree
Christ set me free
From sin and desolation

He offers me
Eternity
A new path of salvation

Oh, glorious!
Victorious!
I will not be ashamed!

Christ's love compels
In me He dwells
I'm righteous in His Name!

He refines me
He defines me
and guides me to the place

Where I'm made whole
Heart, mind and soul
Now transformed by His grace

And I will praise
All of the ways
He works in this love story

I'll walk with Him
All else will dim
As I bask in His glory

All this I share
'Cause it's my prayer
That You would know God too!

Turn to Him now
And just allow
His Love to flood through you

So see the light
And know the might
Of your all-Sovereign King

And then you'll stand
On fertile land
If to the truth you cling

Grace heaven-sent
Helps you repent
There's nothing else as sweet

As Knowing Him,
Walking with Him-
In God you are complete!

Now that you're found
Blessings abound
His goodness, mercy rife

With Christ as Lord
You are restored
To everlasting life

Let Me Never Tire of Your Gospel

Let me never tire of Your gospel
And the power it has to save
For it has brought me from death to life
A righteous way it's paved

What Jesus did up on that cross
Forever will remain
The greatest thing that ever was
For sin was that day slain

A father's love so deep and sure
Reached out to children lost
We're reconciled, redeemed, restored
by Him who paid the cost

We cannot work our way to Heaven
Deserved or earned - it's not
It is a gift that's freely given
God's grace cannot be bought

But in its abundance we may live
In the spirit of submission
For all we need He lovingly gives
Praise God for His provision!

To do good and to be joyful
There's none better, I perceive
Save to praise God the beautiful
Through whom I have all things received

Glad Is My Heart

Glad is my heart, Lord
joyful and wild
Oh, all the wonders
of being your child!

You open my eyelids
and cause me to smile
a whispered "good morning"
lingers for a while

You've painted a sunrise!
Oh glorious day!
My spirit is lively
as I start to pray

Your presence engulfs me,
the thrill of your peace!
You know me; transform me
that You may increase

Almighty Creator
My Friend and my Father
My Rock and Redeemer
My Lord and my Lover

My God and my Guidance
My Power and Portion
My Light and my Reason
My only Salvation

Your joy is my strength
your delight is my song
My freedom is in you
to You I belong

Lead me to your path, Lord
and teach me your ways
that I would walk with you
for all of my days

Heavenly Romance

There's a song in my heart
a joy so deep
that will never depart
for my life He keeps

The melody's sweet
for I've found true love
and my heart now beats
for my God above

O heavenly romance
a love so pure
it's a glorious dance
that will always endure

O sweet embrace
O wonderful mercy
O abundant grace
that has made me see

No darkness - He's light!
No chaos - He's peace!
His power and might
brings me to my knees

At His feet I will worship
sing, O my soul
His love and his Lordship
have made me whole
