• Song: Waiting for Tomorrow by Mandisa

    Have you ever procrastinated?  Sometimes we can put off things we need to do for days, weeks, months, and even years.  Take time to evaluate what you need to do and start making steps towards getting that done today.   God wants us to live our lives with purpose.  Are we making a positive impact on the people around us?  Let’s not waste any more time!

    Maybe tomorrow I’ll start over
    Maybe tomorrow I will finally change my ways
    Said the same thing yesterday
    Don’t know why I’m so afraid
    To let you in
    To let you win
    To let you have all of me

    I can’t live my whole life wastin’
    All the grace that I know you’ve given
    ‘Cause you’ve made me for so much more than
    Sittin’ on the side lines
    I don’t wanna look back and wonder
    If good enough could’ve been better

    Every day’s a day that’s borrowed
    So, why am I waiting for tomorrow?
    Why am I waiting for tomorrow?

  • Song: What Scars Are For by Mandisa

    It is never easy going through a tough time.  God can use those times to remind, encourage, and show His goodness.  He paid the ultimately price for our sin and has the scars on his hands to prove it.  Thankful for a God who cares and loves us.

    These scars aren’t pretty
    But they’re a part of me
    And will not ever fade away
    These marks tell a story
    Of me down in the valley
    And how You reached in with Your grace
    And healed me

    They remind me of Your faithfulness
    And all You brought me through
    They teach me that my brokenness
    Is something You can use
    They show me where I’ve been and
    That I’m not there any more
    That’s what scars, that’s what scars are for
    what scars are for

    Erase, rewind
    Wish I could every time
    The hurt, the pain cuts so deep
    But when I’m weak You’re strong
    And in Your power I can carry on
    And my scars say that You won’t ever leave

    I see it on the cross
    The nails You took for me
    Scars can change the world
    Scars can set me free

  • Song: 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 hope

    Whatever it is you may be going through
    I know He’s not gonna let it get the best of you

    You’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 overcomer

    Everybody’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 know

    The 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 you

    So don’t quit, don’t give in, you’re an overcomer
    You’re an overcomer 

  • 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

  • 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

  • Good Morning by Mandisa & Tobymac

    It’s a good morning!
    Wake up to a brand new day
    This morning,
    I’m stepping, stepping on my way
    Good morning,
    You give me strength,
    You give me just what I need
    And I can feel the hope that’s rising in me.
    It’s a good morning

    Slow down, breathe in,
    Don’t move ahead
    I’m just living in this moment
    I’ve got my arms raised, un-phased
    Jump out of bed
    Gotta get this party going
    I went to bed dreaming,
    You woke me up singing
    Get up, get up, hey!

    Now I’m smiling, and I’m kissing all my worries goodbye
    Got the feeling, if I spread my wings I might even fly
    You are my truth, my way
    Give me the strength to say
    Get up, get up, get up
    Cause it’s a good morning, hey

    It is comforting to know that we are not alone.  There is a season for everything and no matter which season we are currently in He is with us.

    A Time to Laugh

    A Time to Cry

    A Time for War

    A Time for Peace
