Song: You Are My Strength by Hillsong
Grateful that we can find strength in a living, loving, and gracious Savior. He brings hope and light into our life as well as into the lives around us. Look to Jesus for comfort and strength each day.
You are my strength
Strength like no other
Strength like no other
Reaches to me
You are my hope
Hope like no other
Reaches to meIn the fullness of Your grace
In the power of Your name
You lift me up
Unfailing love
Stronger than mountains
Deeper than oceans
Reaches to meYour love oh Lord
Reaches to the heavens
Your faithfulness
Reaches to the skiesSong: Let It Be Jesus by Passion
Who do I run to when I am overjoyed or facing a trial? Is it my husband or another family member or friend or is it Jesus? Sometimes I feel like I unload on the people around me instead of taking my cares, wants, worries, joys, and everything else first to Jesus. May this song be a good reminder the priorities in our lives.
Let it be Jesus
The first name that I call
Let it be Jesus
My song inside the storm
I’ll never need anotherFor me, to live is Christ
God I breathe Your name above everything
Let it be, Let it be JesusLet it be Jesus
From the rising of the sun
Let it be Jesus
When all is said and done
I’ll never need another, Jesus there’s no otherShould I ever be abandoned
Should I ever be acclaimed
Should I ever be surrounded by the fire and the flame There’s a name I will remember
There’s a name I will proclaim
Let it be, Let it be JesusSong: Overcomer by Mandisa
When life is tough cling to the promises of Christ. No matter what you are going through Jesus is enough. You can get through whatever trials you may be facing today. Thankful for a God who hears and cares in the good, busy, and even hard times.
Staring at a stop sign
Watching people drive by
T Mac on the radio
Got so much on your mind
Nothing’s really going right
Looking for a ray of hopeWhatever it is you may be going through
I know He’s not gonna let it get the best of youYou’re an overcomer
Stay in the fight ‘til the final round
You’re not going under
‘Cause God is holding you right now
You might be down for a moment
Feeling like it’s hopeless
That’s when He reminds You
That you’re an overcomer
You’re an overcomerEverybody’s been down
Hit the bottom, hit the ground
Ooh, you’re not alone
Just take a breath, don’t forget
Hang on to His promises
He wants You to knowThe same Man, the Great I am
The one who overcame death
He’s living inside of You
So just hold tight, fix your eyes
On the one who holds your life
There’s nothing He can’t do
He’s telling youSo don’t quit, don’t give in, you’re an overcomer
You’re an overcomerSong: Touch The Sky by Hillsong
Sometimes we can only hear God when we spend time on our knees in prayer. God hears our every prayer. He wants to talk with you, unfortunately it can take difficult circumstances before we stop and pray. When your heart is breaking pour it out to God. When you heart is overflowing with joy thank Him for the goodness in your life too. He loves you and wants to help you through whatever is weighing on your heart.
What fortune lies beyond the stars
Those dazzling heights too vast to climb
I got so high to fall so far
But I found heaven as love swept lowMy heart beating, my soul breathing
I found my life when I laid it down
Upward falling, spirit soaring
I touch the sky when my knees hit the groundWhat treasure waits within Your scars
This gift of freedom gold can’t buy
I bought the world and sold my heart
You traded heaven to have me againMy heart beating, my soul breathing
I found my life when I laid it down
Upward falling, spirit soaring
I touch the sky when my knees hit the groundFind me here at Your feet again
Everything I am, reaching out, I surrender
Come sweep me up in Your love again
And my soul will dance
On the wings of foreverSong: He is With Us by Love & The Outcome

God is someone we can always trust. No matter where you go he is always with you in the good and the bad. We may not know what tomorrow will bring, but we know the one who holds our future in His hands. It is comforting to know that we do not have to walk alone.
Remember when
Your hope is lost and faith is shaken
Remember when
You wonder if you’re gonna make it
There’s a hand stretched out
Through your deepest doubtWe can’t pretend
To see the ending or what’s coming up ahead
Don’t know the story of tomorrow
But we can stay close
To the One who knowsWe can trust our God
He knows what He’s doing
Though it might hurt now
We won’t be ruined
It might seem there’s an ocean in between
But He’s holding onto you and me
And He’s never gonna leave, no
He is with us, He is with us, always, alwaysSong: Don’t Ever Stop by Chris Tomlin
We want people to tell us the truth even when it is tough. Sometimes as parents it is hard hearing the truth when our kids have done something wrong. Wouldn’t we want a God that was always truthful to us. We want our hearts to be in tune with Him and follow the path His has laid out for us. He is truthful, loving, and faithful. Take the time to seek His guidance for your life.
Whatever is true
Whatever is right
Whatever is pure
Whatever is light
Lead me in the way everlasting
Don’t ever stop
Don’t ever stopYou alone I will seek with all my hearts
Set my eyes set my mind upon Your word
Jesus, You are the way and I will follow
You are the way, the only way and I will followI will walk in the path of Your commands
In the strength of Your name God I will live
Jesus, You are the way
You are the way and I will follow
You are the way, the only way and I will followI don’t wanna live outside Your ways
I don’t wanna miss Your heart for me
You’re the way
Song: Lord, You Have My Heart by Delirious
Very simple, yet powerful song. Who does your heart belong to? Is your focus on heaven or this world? Do you humbly seek God’s truth and wisdom for your life? Or are you walking blindly through each day? Take time today to give Him your heart and seek His wisdom.
Lord you have my heart
And I will search for yours
Jesus take my life and lead me onLord you have my heart
And I will search for yours
Let me be to you a sacrificeAnd I will praise you Lord
And I will sing of love come down
And as you show your face, We’ll see your glory here.Song: Your Great Name by Natalie Grant
Our names are just one of the ways we are unique. Some names are more traditional while others are not as common. We are known by our names. Thankful for a Savior whose name means so much. Just hearing His names brings back all that He has done for us. He is worth of our praise.
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 nameJesus,
Worthy is the Lamb
That was slain for us
Son of God and Man
You are high and lifted up and all the world will praise your great nameAll 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
The sick are healed and the dead are raised at the sound of your great nameRedeemer, My Healer,Lord Almighty
My Savior, Defender, You are My KingSong: Do Something by Matthew West
We were created by an amazing God. He wants us to be actively serving others. When we see a problem do we do something about it or wait for someone else to handle it? What are we doing to help others? How are we going to change the world we live in today?
I woke up this morning
Saw a world full of trouble now
Thought, how’d we ever get so far down
How’s it ever gonna turn aroundSo I turned my eyes to Heaven
I thought, “God, why don’t You do something?”
Well, I just couldn’t bear the thought of
People living in povertyChildren sold into slavery
The thought disgusted me
So, I shook my fist at Heaven
Said, “God, why don’t You do something?”He said, “I did, I created you”
If not us, then who
If not me and you
Right now, it’s time for us to do something
If not now, then when
Will we see an end
To all this pain
It’s not enough to do nothing
It’s time for us to do somethingI’m so tired of talking
About how we are God’s hands and feet
But it’s easier to say than to be
Live like angels of apathy who tell ourselves
It’s alright, “somebody else will do something”We are the salt of the earth
We are a city on a hill (shine shine, shine shine)
But we’re never gonna change the world
By standing still
No we won’t stand still
