Here's a great song we sang yesterday (April 19, 2009):

Better is One Day

Verse 1:

How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty

For my soul longs and even faints for you

For here my heart is satisfied within your presence

I sing beneath the shadow of your wings

 

Chorus:

Better is one day in your courts, better is one day in your house

Better is one day in your courts than thousands elsewhere

 

Verse 2:

One thing I ask and I would seek: to see your beauty

To find you in the place your glory dwells

One thing I ask and I would seek: to see your beauty

To find you in the place your glory dwells (chorus)

 

Bridge:

My heart and flesh cry out for you, the Living God

Your Spirit's water to my soul

I've tasted and I've seen; come once again to me

I will draw near to you; I will draw near to you; to you

 

Ending:

Better is one day; better is one day

Better is one day than thousands elsewhere

Better is one day; better is one day

Better is one day than thousands elsewhere (chorus)

Here is one of my faves!!

Trading My Sorrows

I'm trading my sorrow
I'm trading my shame
I'm laying it down for the joy of the Lord

I'm trading my sickness
I'm trading my pain
I'm laying it down for the joy of the Lord

Chorus:
And we say yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord
Yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord
Yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord Amen

I'm pressed but not crushed persecuted not abandoned
Struck down but not destroyed
I'm blessed beyond the curse for his promise will endure
And his joy's gonna be my strength

Though the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes with the morning

[FiveofHearts]

That's a nice one!  I like it!

[StanleyGirl]

I've had a desire burn within me, to worship you from my youth
the sweetest fire, burned within me, and Lord it burned just for you

Now sometimes things don't go as you planned, sometimes things are deep within
but no matter what I've had to face there's something that you've always gave,

You give, My Lord, the sweetest, my Lord, Peace I've ever known, and that's what keeps me going on.

When all failed, my Lord, you still prevailed, My Lord
Your Word kept me strong, and your Word carried me on.

What's been destroyed Lord, you can build it, and build it again.
The devil tried to steel my life, But Lord here I am, here I am, here I am.

Sometimes the higher, the mountain you climb the higher your gonna soar,
but in their eyes man when you look so small, but God you stand so tall

Just when man's gonna write you off, that's when my God's gonna rise you up
Thank God man don't have the last say, I stand here living proof of that today

'cause you give, My Lord, the sweetest, my Lord, peace I've ever known and that's what keeps me going on----

How Great is our God

Verse 1:

The splendor of the King, clothed in majesty;

Let all the earth rejoice, let all the earth rejoice.

He wraps himself in light, and darkness tries to hide;

And trembles at his voice, and trembles at his voice.

 

Chorus:

How great is our God!  Sing with me: How great is our God!

And all will see how great, how great is our God!

 

Verse 2:

And age to age he stands, and time is in his hands;

Beginning and the End; Beginning and the End.

The Godhead, Three in One; Father, Spirit, Son,

The Lion and the Lamb; The Lion and the Lamb. (Chorus)

 

Bridge:

Name above all names, worthy of all praise.

My heart will sing, how great is our God! (Chorus)

I love all those songs.. I esp love How Great is our God, I was singing that in the kitchen today :-)

Here is a short song but it speaks for itself:

Falling in Love with Jesus

Falling in Love with Jesus, Falling in Love with Jesus, Falling in Love with Jesus, was the best thing I've ever done.

In his arms I feel protected, In his arms never disconnected, In his arms I feel protected, theres no place I'd rather be.

Falling in love with Jesus, Falling in Love with Jesus, Falling in Love with Jesus, was the best thing I've ever done

[Super-mom-me]

There's a stirring deep within me

Could it be my time has come

When I'll see my gracious Savior

Face to face when all is done

Is that His voice I am hearing

Come away My precious one

Is He calling me Is He calling me

I will rise up Rise up then bow down

And lay my crown at His wounded feet
