Song: Good Good Father by Chris Tomlin
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBwXHpKVS5I
I am thankful for my Dad, my husband who is a wonderful Daddy to our girls, and many other Father figures in my life from Grandparents to friends and more, but there is one perfect Father. Our earthly Father’s will stumble, God never will. We can be grateful for the Father’s God has chosen to give us, however, our focus should be on our Heavenly Father.
I’ve heard a thousand stories of what they think you’re like
But I’ve heard tender whispers of love in the dead of night
And you tell me that you’re pleased
And that I’m never aloneYou’re a Good, Good Father
It’s who you are, it’s who you are, it’s who you are
And I’m loved by you
It’s who I am, it’s who I am, it’s who I amI’ve seen many searching for answers far and wide
But I know we’re all searching
For answers only you can provide
Cause you know just what we need
Before we, we say a wordSong: 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: I Will Follow by Chris Tomlin
There is joy in knowing God. He will give you answers, wisdom, and direction in your life if only you take the time to ask Him. There has been a lot going on in our family these last few months. It has been our prayer lately that God will give us wisdom and clearly show us what He wants us to do regarding some big decisions in our lives. It is our desire to honor Him with our lives.
Where you go, I’ll go
Where you stay, I’ll stay
When you move, I’ll move
I will follow…All your ways are good
All your ways are sure
I will trust in you alone
Higher than my sight
High above my life
I will trust in you alone (trust in you alone)In you there’s life everlasting,
In you there’s freedom for my soul
In you there’s joy, unending joy
And I will followSong: Famous One by Chris Tomlin
I love the line “for all you’ve done and yet to do”! Thankfully His work in my life and in this world is not finished. He continues to reveal Himself to those who serve Him. Not only is He famous, He is patient, merciful, kind, and loving even when we least desire it.
You are the Lord
The famous one
Famous one
Great is your name
In all the earth
The heavens declare
You’re glorious, glorious
Great is your fame
Beyond the earthAnd for all you’ve done
And yet to do
With every breath
I’m praising you
Desire of nations
And every heart
You alone are God
You alone are GodThe morning star
Is shining through
And every eye
Is watching you
Revealed by nature
And miracles
You are beautiful
You are beautifulWhom 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 sideMy 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?Song: “I Lift My Hands” by Chris Tomlin
I am thankful that there is a healer whose love and mercy is unfailing. No matter what trials you face this week I hope you are encouraged by the one who can give you the strength you need every day. May my eyes be open, my faith be strong, and my prayers be lifted up to the one whose love is deeper than the sea.
Be still, there is a healer
His love is deeper than the sea
His mercy, it is unfailing
His arms are fortress for the weakLet faith arise
Let faith ariseI lift my hands to believe again
You are my refuge, You are my strength
As I pour out my heart
These things, I remember
You are faithful, God, foreverBe still, there is a river
That flows from Calvary’s tree
A fountain for the thirsty
Pure grace that washes over meLet faith arise, let faith arise
Open my eyes, open my eyesSong: “Unfailing Love” by Chris Tomlin
The best part about the love of God is that it remains forever. You cannot “earn” it because He freely gives it to you! Thankful for a God who loves me despite all the times I stumble. What a great example it is of how we should love our family, friends, and those around us as well.
Song: “Indescribable” by Chris Tomlin
This is a great song giving God the glory for creation. We serve an amazing God and the song names only a few ways of how truly awesome He is from the seasons, to knowing each star, the depths of the sea and so much more. You cannot fit such an amazing God in a box. He is the creator of miracles and He is with you always to help guide your life no matter where you may go. Here is a piece of the song to encourage you:
Indescribable, Uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God.
All powerful, Untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees and we humbly proclaim,
You are amazing God.Song: “How Can I Keep from Singing” by Chris Tomlin
After a relaxing weekend with my family I came across this song. The song was a reminder to me that when I have the love of the Christ in my life I will want to sing praises for all he has done. I have so much to be thankful for in my life. God chooses to bestow many blessings on me even though I am undeserving of his grace.
How can I keep from singing Your praise?
How can I ever say enough,
How amazing is Your love?
How can I keep from shouting Your name?
I know I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart want to singWhen is the last time you sang praises to Him?
