Inspiration
This post has been on my heart the last few weeks. I identify so much with music, it propels me forward and it feeds my heart and soul. I have always loved music with good lyrics of substance. There is only so much pop music I can handle before I just turn it off. I love the beats, and there is a time and a place for it but that kind of music isn't what I am referring to. I wanted to include some of my most favorite music below with lyrics and videos. They can help heal a broken heart, and give you a hope for the future. That is the kind of music I am referring to...
He Is With Us- Love & The Outcome
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 doubt We can't pretend to see the ending or what's coming up ahead To know the story of tomorrow But we can stay close to the One who knows
We 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 on to you and me And He's never gonna leave, no He is with us, He is with us Always, always He is with us, He is with us Always
Testify- NEEDTOBREATHE
Give me your heart, Give me your song Sing it with all your might Come to the fountain and You can be satisfied There is a peace, there is a love You can get lost inside Come to the fountain and Let me hear you testify
Into the wild Canyons of youth Oh, there's a world to fall into Weightless we'll dance Like kids on the moon Oh, I will give myself to you As soon as you start to let go Give me your heart Give me your song Sing it with all your might Come to the fountain and You can be satisfied
Thy Will- Hillary Scott
One of the songs I avoided for a really long time. I couldn't listen to it without crying. It hits a spot in my heart, and I just love its realness.. such a hard thing to say out loud when life hits you the hardest.
Forgiven- Crowder
I'm the one who held the nail It was cold between my fingertips I've hidden in the garden I've denied You with my very lips God, I fall down to my knees with a hammer in my hand You look at me, arms open Forgiven! Forgiven! Child there is freedom from all of it Say goodbye to every sin You are forgiven! I've done things I wish I hadn't done I've seen things I wish I hadn't seen Just the thought of Your amazing grace And I cry ”Jesus, forgive me!” God, I fall down to my knees with a hammer in my hand You look at me, arms open
My Victory- Crowder
You came for criminals And every pharisee You came for hypocrites Even one like me
You carried sin and shame The guilt of every man The weight of all i’ve done Nailed into your hands
Oh, your love bled for me Oh, your blood in crimson streams Oh, your death is hells defeat A cross meant to kill is my victory
Oh, your amazing grace I’ve seen and tasted it It’s running through my veins I can’t escape its grip In you my soul is safe You cover everything
The Joy Of The Lord- Rend Collective
Though tears may fall My song will rise, my song will rise to You Though my heart may fail My song will rise, my song will rise to You While there’s breath in my lungs I will praise You, Lord
In the dead of night I’ll lift my eyes, I’ll lift my eyes to You When the waters rise I’ll lift my eyes, I’ll lift my eyes to You While there’s hope in my heart I will praise You, Lord
The joy of the Lord is my strength The joy of the Lord is my strength In the darkness I’ll dance In the shadows I’ll sing The joy of the Lord is my strength
