Jason Gray - Remind Me Who I Am



[video=youtube;QSIVjjY8Ou8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSIVjjY8Ou8[/video]



When I lose my way,
And I forget my name
Remind me who I am
In the mirror all I see
Is who I don't wanna be
Remind me who I am

In the loneliest places
When I cant remember what grace is

Tell me, once again
Who I am to You, who I am to You
Tell me, lest I forget
Who I am to You, that I belong to You
To You

When my heart is like a stone,
And I'm running far from home
Remind me who I am
When I cant receive Your love
Afraid I'll never be enough
Remind me who I am

If I'm Your beloved can You help me believe it

Tell me, once again
Who I am to you, who I am to You
Tell me, lest I forget
Who I am to you, that I belong to You
To You

I'm the one You love, I'm the one You love
That will be enough, I'm the one You love

Tell me, once again
Who I am to you, who I am to You
Tell me, lest I forget
Who I am to you, that I belong to You

Tell me, once again
Who I am to You, who I am to You
Tell me, lest I forget
Who I am to You, that I belong to You
To You

To You
 
In the name of the Lord - Jon Gibson

listening " Let The Waters Rise " by Mikeschair...right now very uplifting:thumbsup

Mikeschair

Don't know where to begin
It's like my world's caving in
And I tried but I can't control my fear
Where do I go from here

Sometimes it's so hard to pray
You feel so far away
But I am willing to go where You want me to
God I trust You

[Chorus]
There's a raging sea
Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in
Bring me to my knee
So let the waters rise
If you want them to
I will follow You
I will follow You

I will swim in the deep
Cause You'll be next to me
You're in the eye of the storm and the calm of the sea
You're never out of reach

God You know where I've been
You were there with me then
You were faithful before
You'll be faithful again
I'm holding Your hand

[Chorus]
God Your love is enough
You will pull me through
I'm holding on to You

God your love is enough
I will follow You
I will follow You
 
listening right now " Battle" by Chris August

There's a battle between good and evil
And it's raging inside of me
There's a struggle - it's god and the devil
It's love against the enemy

Whoa no
I'm not giving up now
Whoa

Life's a fight of wrong and right
That's tearing me apart
Oh but what the cross has done
Yeah the world will try to battle for my heart
But the war is already won

There's a snake that's hiding in the garden
There's a beautiful apple tree
There is trouble on the horizon
But i'm claiming victory
Whoa
I'm not giving in now
Whoa

Life's a fight of wrong and right
That's tearing me apart
Oh but what the cross has done
Yeah the world will try to battle for my heart
But the war is already won

Whoa
I'm not giving up now
Whoa
I'm not giving in

Life's a fight of wrong and right
That's tearing me apart
Oh but what the cross has done
Yeah the world will try to battle for my heart
But the war is already won

 
" Undone" by FFH very cool:thumbsup

Open up wide, swallow down deep
No spoon full of sugar could make it sweet
The cancer inside stealing my sleep
Night after night it keeps haunting me
The secrets I keep
Are tearing me up inside
I try to hide and then I wonder why

Why I'm still running when I know there's no escaping
Come undone, surrender is stronger
I don't need to be the hero tonight
We all want love we all want honor
Nobody wants to pay the asking price

Fall on my knees, fall on my pride
I'm tripping over all the times I've lied
I'm asking please, but I can see in your eyes
You don't need tears for alibis
It's true what they say
Love must be blind
It's why You're still standing by this sinner's side

You're still by my side when all the things I've done have left you bleeding
Chorus
I don't think I can drive it home tonight
I don't think I wanna be alone tonight
 
listening, Outta My Mind by Anthem Lights right now:headphones:headphones:eeeekkk


Feelin' like I got a front row seat to watch everybody be happy
Can't even paint a smile on my face, it's so hard to not complain
Gotta try not to say
O God, what about me
'Cause I know that's not the way that I'm supposed to be


Get me outta my mind and into Your heart
It's not about me, it's not about me
So I'm gonna start playin' my part in Your design
Now is the time
Get me outta my mind


Outta my mind

There's a bigger picture on display and it's starting to come in focus
Causing me to see to see the ones in need outside my little world
Gotta try, just to say
O God, what can I do
Doesn't matter what it takes, I wanna lead them all to You


Get me outta my mind and into Your heart
It's not about me, it's not about me
So I'm gonna start playin' my part in Your design
Now is the time
Get me outta my mind
Outta my mind


If anybody asks me what have I been up to
This is what I'm gonna say
I've been spending my time, outta my mind
And I'm really lovin' livin' this way
[x2]


Get me outta my mind and into Your heart
It's not about me, it's not about me
So I'm gonna start playin' my part in Your design
Now is the time
Get me outta my mind
Get me outta my mind
So I'm gonna start playin' my part in Your design
Now is the time
Get me outta my mind
Outta my mind
 
I'm not sure if you are wanting people to know what the group name means, or their music. I skimmed some info about the group and looked at a few of their lyrics. Their music isn't the kind I listen to.

Know what it means.....it seems dark to me instead of light. Aren't we suppose to be seeking the light?

Or maybe, we are all Projects in this world?


Well...
a simple look into WIKIPEDIA for Project 86 would have answered a lot of questions.
Wether you like "dark" or light music is personal choice. If I look into the old testament or even revelation there is a lot of suffer, death, sulfur, fire, vengence, etc.
Just like in a "Slayer" song.

The lyrics make the difference. Seeking the light doesn't mean you have to be in happy-mode 24/7. Singing about problems, about the dark, the wrong is as allright as watching a documentary about a crime. I have worked in law enforcement and there was little light sometimes. Or do I have to be a pastor, CEO of some christian bookshop or doctor to be a good christian?

Listen to a song like "Help" from the Beatles or even "Highway to Hell" from AC/DC (or read the lyrics online). You will realise that "hell" is seen as something negative. A song as a piece of art needs interpretation like every true piece of art. People realise that they are on the (high)way to hell by living their lifestyle.

I am a christian and I want the light. Seeing the darkness to some extent doesn't make me want the light less, maybe I value the light more ?
But I don't deny the existence of darkness. Why can't we talk about it?

In music darkness is a way of expression. There are some great old hymns which are "dark" but powerful and great music. Not the average worship song in happy mode that sounds like all the others. One of the reasons I miss my old church and it's rich repertoire of hymns.

I don't know of anyone that is in a happy mode 24/7. Can it even be done? I would think law enforcement would be a very difficult job to have. I'm not even sure I can fathom the depth of things you dealt with. Being a pastor doesn't necessarily mean a person is a good Christian. I am in no place to even say who is a good Christian or not.

But I don't deny the existence of darkness. Why can't we talk about it?
I guess it depends on the person and what they need in their life. If talking about it helps a person then I would assume it is necessary for that person. I feel like the dark puts me somewhere I don't want to be.
In music darkness is a way of expression. There are some great old hymns which are "dark" but powerful and great music. Not the average worship song in happy mode that sounds like all the others. One of the reasons I miss my old church and it's rich repertoire of hymns.
I know during times I was really down I was drawn to more negative songs. I'm not sure that was healthy for my emotional state. Being we are all unique beings, we all respond differently to the way we handle things

Thank you for your answer.

:headphones:headphones:headphones " Everything Good" by Ashes Remain

You are oxygen on a late night drive
To clear my head when hope has passed me by
You are gravity when I'm upside down
You help me find my way back to the ground
And this is why

You're everything good everything true
When all the world is fading you're everything new
You are my eyes when I can't see
When all the world is broken You will always be
Everything good

You are all I have and all I need
And all I am is what You've made of me
And this is why

You're everything good to me
You're everything that I need that I need
And this is why
 
:headphones:headphones:headphonesone of my fave. praise and worship song by Natalie Grant " Your Great Name"

Verse 1:
Lost are saved; find their way; at the sound of your great name
All condemned; feel no shame, at the sound of your great name
Every fear; has no place; at the sound of your great name
The enemy; he has to leave; at the sound of your great name

Chorus:
Jesus, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain for us, Son of God and Man
You are high and lifted up; that all the world will praise your great name

Verse 2:
All the weak; find their strength; at the sound of your great name
Hungry souls; receive grace; at the sound of your great name
The fatherless; they find their rest; at the sound of your great name
Sick are healed; and the dead are raised; at the sound of your great name

Chorus:
Jesus, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain for us, Son of God and Man
You are high and lifted up; that all the world will praise your great name

Bridge:
Redeemer, My Healer, Almighty
My savior, Defender, You are My King

Chorus:
Jesus, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain for us, Son of God and Man
You are high and lifted up; that all the world will praise your great name
 
:headphones:headphones" Walking On the Stars" by Group 1 Crew


I see my life sometimes and I ask why
My heart became like stone and turned to ice
tell me what have I become
But you came just in time like a shooting star
Across my universe out of the dark
tell me what have I become

[Chorus]
Take me away, you save me from myself and all I do
'Cause life just ain't the same when I'm with you
I can climb the sky, you got me
Walking on, wa-walking on the stars
(Walking on, walking on the stars)
Now, I can see my life from way up hide
And now the troubles I once knew I left behind
I can climb the sky, you got me
Walking on, wa-walking on the stars
(Walking on, walking on the stars)

I see life through new set of eyes
Set on someone different that I never realized
Outside my mind is a lost world that lies
But step into my thoughts you'll believe you can fly
Your words like wings gravity they defy
My heart like a leaf on the wind catchin rides
They say we can't make it at least we gotta try
We make to much sense to foolishly pass it by

So I'm taking a rainbow up to the 5th floor
Steppin out to see that you're really worth more and I
See our love in 3d, no more 2 dimensional worries
Climb until the sky don't exist no more
That's when I'll knock knock on your front door
Open to the possibilities I ignored
But I know now exactly what our love was meant for

[Chorus]
And I can see, much more clear
When I'm lost in your atmosphere
You pull me close, to the place
Where you're always waiting
So I won't stop, the walls are down
Make my way at the speed of sound
Hold me now, hold me now
 
i think i am in love....:adore:adore:adore:love2 and the lyrics hays....

Can't Get Over You by Anthem Lights

I love the way you love like no other
It's got nothing to do with anything that I do
Time and time again you forgive me
So this time I choose to stay here with you

Hold me
Pull me just a little bit closer
I don't wanna lose this moment
You're love has covered me
Now I can't get over you
I can't get over you
I can't get over you
I just can't get over you

Here in the arms of my Father
Only grace can be found
So I lay my fears down
Nothing is the same anymore
You've changed me from the inside out
Now my heart is beating
and it's singing won't You

Hold me
Pull me just a little bit closer
I don't wanna lose this moment
You're love has covered me
Now I can't get over you
I can't get over you
I can't get over you
I just can't get over you

Can't get over you
I can't get over the way
You're love stays the same, Oh Lord
I can't get over the way
You're love stays the same, Oh Lord
Even through the good and the bad times
You stay the same, so my song will remain
Lord!

Hold me
Pull me just a little bit closer
I don't wanna lose this moment
(moment)
You're love has covered me
Now I can't get over you
I can't get over you
I can't get over you
(There's nothing I can do)
I just can't get over you
I can't get over you
(Can't get over)
I can't get over you
(I can't get over)
There's nothing I can do
(There's nothing I can do)
I just can't get over you
I can't get over you

We pray for blessings, we pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering

All the while You hear each spoken need
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things

'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears?
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You're near?

What if trials of this life
Are Your mercies in disguise?

We pray for wisdom, Your voice to hear
We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough

And all the while You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe

'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears?
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You're near?

And what if trials of this life
Are Your mercies in disguise?

When friends betray us, when darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not, this is not our home
It's not our home

'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears?
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You're near?

What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst
This world can't satisfy?

And what if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are Your mercies in disguise?
 
Great words, and I like the part about enduring sleepless nights, and focusing on the promises of the Word. Reminds me of: 'Behind a frowning Providence, He hides a smiling face' by William Cowper, I think it was.

Yes, you are correct.


God Moves In A Mysterious Way

God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.

Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill
He treasures up His bright designs,
And works His sovereign will.

Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take,
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.

Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.


His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.

Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan his work in vain;
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain.



William Cowper

Grace --
My heart is so proud.
My mind is so unfocused.
I see the things you do through me as great thing i have done.

And how You gently break me,
then lovingly you take me and hold me as my father and mold me as my maker.

"How many times will you pick me up,
when I keep on letting you down?
And each time I will fall short of your glory,
how far will forgiveness abound?"

And You answer
"My child I love you.
And as long as you're seeking My face,
You'll walk in the pow'r of My daily sufficient grace."

And feel a bit discouraged,
Knowing that someone,
somewhere could do a better job.

For who am I to serve You?
I know I don't deserve You.
And that's the part that burns in my heart and keeps me hanging on.

"How many times will you pick me up,
When I keep on letting you down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory,
How far will forgiveness abound?"

And You answer
"My child I love you.
And as long as you're seeking My face,
You'll walk in the pow'r of My daily sufficient grace."

You are so patient with me, Lord.

I'm learning what Your grace really means.
The price that I could never pay
was paid at Calvary.

So, instead of trying to repay You,
I'm learning to simply obey You
By giving up my life to You.

"How many times will you pick me up,
When I keep on letting You down?
And each time I will far short of Your glory,
How far will forgiveness abound?"

And you answer
"My child, I love you.
And as long as you're seeking my face,
You'll walk in the pow'r of My daily sufficient grace
 
:sing:headphones:headphones Third Day's " Keep On Shinin"


It feels like forever since I can remember
It seems like it's always been this way
Keep the good news to ourselves, like a secret we'll never tell
I don't know why we've been so ashamed

But changes are in the air, sparks are starting everywhere
And oh, what a sweet, sweet sound
With millions of voices, singing new choruses
Leading the way to higher ground

Keep on, keep on shinin'
Wherever you may be
Keep on, keep on shinin'
For all the world to see

Having faith in the long run is easier said than done
It's hard to live out in the light of day
You're bruised and you're battered, your dreams have been shattered
Your best laid plans scattered over the place

Despite all your tendencies, God sees it differently
Your struggle's a time to grow
And you, you're a miracle, anything but typical
It's time for the whole wide world to know
