• Born for This (Esther) by Mandisa

    Feels like I’ve been holding my breath, trying to still my restless heart
    Everything hangs on my next step, finding my nerve, playing my part
    I found shelter underneath His crown, found favor inside His eyes
    Rock this boat, and I just might drown, honesty seems to come with a price
    There’s a time to hold your tongue, time to keep your head down
    There’s a time but it’s not now

    Sometimes you gotta go, uninvited
    Sometimes you gotta speak when you don’t have the floor
    Sometimes you gotta move, when everybody else says you should stay
    No way, no, not today
    You gotta ask, if you want an answer
    Sometimes you gotta stand apart from the crowd
    Long before your heart could run the risk
    You were born for this
    You were born for this

    I’m leaning on the ones before me, my father’s father’s dreams
    I’m standing on the top of their shoulders calling the One delivering me
    There’s a time to hold your tongue, time to keep your head down
    There’s a time but it’s not now

    One step, one move.
    Born to trust You.
    Made to lay my
    Life before You

  • Space by Twin Sisters

    The girls really love to listen to music whether we are in the car, at home, or even sometimes outside!  One of their favorite groups to listen to is Twin Sisters.  The music CD listed above is on Space by Twin Sisters and is part of their Science Series.  Every night as the girls are going to sleep they get to listen to one CD.

    Before doing this they would keep each other up talking.  With the music it helps give them some quiet time as they go to sleep and typically one or both are asleep before the music ends.  The CD goes through a variety of fun songs about the space including astronauts, jobs, satellites, and more.

    I love the fact that the girls are not only listening to music in the car or at home but that the music teaches them about specific topics like space.  It says that the music is for ages 4 to 9 years old, but even younger or older kids will enjoy the cheerful music on the CD. Here are the songs on the CD:

    • When I Grow Up
    • Many Jobs To Choose From
    • It’s Called Cooperation
    • I’m Feeling Light As A Feather
    • Can We Live In Space?
    • You’re An Astronaut
    • Famous Astronauts
    • Stepping Out In Space With The MMU
    • What Is A Satellite
    • Heroes Of Our Time
    • Space Colonies
    • I’ll Be An Astronaut Medley

  • Whom Shall I Fear by Chris Tomlin

    You hear me when I call
    You are my morning song
    Though darkness fills the night
    It cannot hide the light
    Whom shall I fear?

    I know who goes before me
    I know who stands behind
    The God of angel armies is always by my side
    The One who reigns forever
    He is a friend of mine
    The God of angel armies is always by my side

    My strength is in Your name
    For You alone can save
    You will deliver me
    Yours is the victory
    Whom shall I fear?
    Whom shall I fear?

  • Let Mercy Hold You by Jason Crabb

    When the road is winding through the darkness,
    And the load is heavy as your heart is now,
    And you’re full of doubt,

    Every night is holding back a sunrise,
    Every storm, shadowing a blue sky,
    I know it’s hard,
    When there’s nothing else you can do,
    So let mercy hold you,

    So let the valley teach you how to sing,
    And still believe, grace is everything you need,
    It’s only here you’ll see,

    Joy is coming with the morning,
    You just gotta wait for the dawn to break,
    Joy is coming with the morning,
    Don’t lose hope…

  • Forever Reign by Hillsong

    You are good, You are good
    When there’s nothing good in me
    You are love, You are love
    On display for all to see
    You are light, You are light
    When the darkness closes in
    You are hope, You are hope
    You have covered all my sin

    Oh, I’m running to Your arms,
    I’m running to Your arms
    The riches of Your love
    Will always be enough
    Nothing compares to Your embrace
    Light of the world forever reign

    You are more, You are more
    Than my words will ever say
    You are Lord, You are Lord
    All creation will proclaim
    You are here, You are here
    In Your presence I’m made whole
    You are God, You are God
    Of all else I’m letting go

  • Stronger by Mandisa

    Hey, heard you were up all night
    Thinking about how your world ain’t right
    And you wonder if things will ever get better
    And you’re asking why is it always raining on you
    When all you want is just a little good news
    Instead of standing there stuck out in the weather

    Oh, don’t hang your head
    It’s gonna end
    God’s right there
    Even if it’s hard to see Him
    I promise you that He still cares

    When the waves are taking you under
    Hold on just a little bit longer
    He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger
    The pain ain’t gonna last forever
    And things can only get better
    Believe me
    This is gonna make you stronger
    Gonna make you stronger, stronger, stronger

    Try and do the best you can
    Hold on and let Him hold your hand
    And go on and fall into the arms of Jesus
    Oh, lift your head it’s gonna end
    God’s right there
    Even when you just can’t feel Him
    I promise you that He still cares

  • Born In Me by Francesca Battistelli

    Everything inside me cries for order
    Everything inside me wants to hide
    Is this shadow an angel or a warrior?
    If God is pleased with me, why am I so terrified?
    Someone tell me I am only dreaming
    Somehow help me see with Heaven’s eyes
    And before my head agrees, my heart is on its knees
    Holy is He. Blessed am I.

    Be born in me, be born in me
    Trembling heart, somehow I believe that You chose me
    I’ll hold you in the beginning, You will hold me in the end
    Every moment in the middle, make my heart your Bethlehem
    Be born in me

    All this time we’ve waited for the promise
    All this time You’ve waited for my arms
    Did You wrap yourself inside the unexpected
    So we might know that Love would go that far?

  • This is Christmas by Kutless

    Do you find it hard to sleep til’ night,
    Resting by the Christmas lights?
    Could there be something you forgot?
    Beyond the bows, and mistletoes,
    The tree with presents wrapped below,
    There’s more to this than you had ever thought?
    Have we lost the reason that we celebrate each year?

    What is Christmas?
    If there never was a Savior wrapped in a manger.
    What is Christmas without Christ?

    Remember how the story goes,
    God’s gift was wrapped in swaddling clothes,
    Beneath the star, one great and holy night.
    The shepherds heard the angels sing,
    The wise man brought an offering,
    Peace on Earth began in Bethlehem
    Have we lost the reason that we celebrate each year?

  • Breathe of Heaven by Amy Grant

    Breath of heaven,
    Hold me together,
    Be forever near me,
    Breath of heaven.
    Breath of heaven,
    Lighten my darkness,
    Pour over me your holiness,
    For you are holy.
    Breath of heaven.

    Do you wonder as you watch my face,
    If a wiser one should have had my place,
    But i offer all i am
    For the mercy of your plan.
    Help me be strong.
    Help me be.
    Help me.
