This is one of my favorite songs right now. Thanks Heather :)


Virtuoso
by David Phelps
Album : Revelation

A handful of dust a worthless piece of clay
And you breathed the breath of heaven
Then there was a soul
The heart, the hands, the voice that could sing of your perfection
Life is a symphony that only you can play
You know I can hear it through the madness everyday

Virtuoso, virtuoso
This heart is your instrument
This life is your song
Virtuoso

There isn’t a note of mediocrity
In all of your creation and all the beauty
We create with human hands is only imitation
Thunder crashes, waves crescendo on the sand
The wind that’s whispering can only be your hand

Virtuoso, virtuoso
This heart is your instrument
This life is your song
Virtuoso

A timeless melody of beauty and emotion
Perfect harmony inspiring true devotion
No one else can play its chords so graceful yet so strong
You made the instrument and wrote the song
Virtuoso

Virtuoso, virtuoso
This heart is your instrument
This life is your song
Virtuoso

This is my most favourite song. It's by tool and is called reflection. The lyrics are amazing, but you really must listen to the song. If you don't want to read it all, just make sure you read the last verse.

Reflection

I have come curiously close to the end, down
Beneath my self-indulgent pitiful hole,
Defeated, I concede and
Move closer
I may find comfort here
I may find peace within the emptiness
How pitiful

It's calling me...

And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping
The moon tells me a secret - my confidant
As full and bright as I am
This light is not my own and
A million light reflections pass over me

Its source is bright and endless
She resuscitates the hopeless
Without her, we are lifeless satellites drifting

And as I pull my head out I am without one doubt
Don't wanna be down here feeding my narcissism.
I must crucify the ego before it's far too late
I pray the light lifts me out
Before I pine away.

So crucify the ego, before it's far too late
To leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical,
And you will come to find that we are all one mind
Capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable.
Just let the light touch you
And let the words spill through
And let them pass right through
Bringing out our hope and reason ...
before we pine away.

Lord Move, or Move Me
by: FFH

I can't find the words to pray, I'm a little down today
Can You help me, Can You hold me?
I feel a million miles away, And I don't know what to say
Can You hear me anyway?

What I need is for You to reach out Your hand
You have taught me no matter what You'd understand

CHOURUS:

Lord move in the way, that I've never seen before
Cause there's a mountain in the way and a lock on the door
I'm drifting away, waves are crashing on the shore
So Lord move (move), or move me.

END CHOURUS

I've looked every where to find a simple peace of mind
But, I can't find nothing on my own
So I gotta leave myself behind, take up this cross of mine
Give away everything I hold onto

Lord I know the only way is through this
But Lord, I know I need You to help me do this

CHOURUS

Lord move in the way, that I've never seen before
Cause there's a mountain in the way and a lock on the door
I'm drifting away, waves are crashing on the shore
So Lord move (move), or move me.

Out of this place of complacency
To a place of fellowship with Thee
'Cause I am weak, but Lord, You are so strong
And You know it's been way too long
It's been way too long

Lord move in the way, that I've never seen before
Cause there's a mountain in the way and a lock on the door
I'm drifting away, waves are crashing on the shore
So Lord move (move)...,
CHOURUS

This song always gives me confidence and makes me feel like I can do anything with God's help. It's called Free by Ginny Owens.

Turning molehills into mountains,
Making big deals out of small ones,
Bearing gifts as if they're burdens'
This is how it's been.
Fear of coming out of my shell,
Too many things I can't do too well,
Afraid I'll try real hard and I'll fail -
This is how it's been.
Till the day you pounded on my heart's door,
And you shouted joyfully,
"Your not a slave anymore"

You're free to dance-
Forget about your two left feet
And you're free to sing-
Even joyful noise is music to me
And you're free to love,
Cause I've given you My love,
and it's made you free
I have set you free

My mind finds hard to believe
That You became humanity
and changed the course of history,
Because You loved me so.
And my heart cannot understand
Why You'd accept me as I am,
But You say You've always had a plan,
And that's all I need to know.
So when I am consumed by what the world will say,
It's then You're singing to me,
As you remove my chains

You're free to dance-
Forget about your two left feet
And you're free to sing-
Even joyful noise is music to me
And you're free to love,
Cause I've given you My love,
and it's made you free
I have set you free

Free from worry, free from envy and denial
Free to live, free to give, free to smile

You're free to dance-
Forget about your two left feet
And you're free to sing-
Even joyful noise is music to me
And you're free to love,
Cause I've given you My love,
and it's made you free
I have set you free

David Phelps, Miles and Miles Away

You tried to run so that no one could desert you,
always looking for the perfect place to hide.
You build up walls so that no one could ever hurt you.
And yet the loneliness made you cry, bridges all
burned, nowhere to turn, but to Heaven.

Chorus:
Miles and miles away, Love saw you there and stretched
out His hand to reach you, across the lonely ocean of
your tears. And He’ll walk upon the waves if that’s what
it takes to save you. Love doesn’t have the heart to stay miles
and miles away.

He has the grace to cover any distance, always looking for
the lost and weary soul. No, no He never stops offering
forgiveness, and to the wanderer welcome home. So roam
no more. Jesus is Lord, down from Heaven.

Chorus

Neither day nor night, death or life could ever separate us
from the love that spans the ages.

Chorus

Miles and miles away. Miles and miles away.

I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

I have climbed the highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you

I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire

I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone

But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for

I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well yes I’m still running

You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believe it

But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for...

A couple of Michael W. Smith songs that I've listened to over the years that encourage me..

Place in this World
By Michael W. Smith

The wind is moving
But I am standing still
A life of pages
Waiting to be filled
A heart that's hopeful
A head that's full of dreams
But this becoming
Is harder than it seems
Feels like i'm
Chorus:
Looking for a reason
Roaming through the night to find
My place in this world
My place in this world
Not a lot to lean on
I need your light to help me find
My place in this world
My place in this world

If there are millions
Down on their knees
Among the many
Can you still hear me
Hear me asking
Where do I belong
Is there a vision
That I can call my own
Show me i'm

Chorus

********

Seed to Sow
By Michael W. Smith

Chorus: (in Lugandan)
Kimu nkimaanyi
Buli muntu alina ensiigo
Omutima gwo gukulung 'aamye
Buli muntu alina ensiigo
Some people quietly reveal
In the manner of the meek
Some people shout the way they feel
To a radical degree
Some people sing it to express
While others hear another call
Some people speak with subtleness
Some don't rely on words at all
But let me tell you 'bout...

Chorus One thing I know
Everybody's got a seed to sow
let your heart of hearts
Take you down the road
Everybody's got a seed to sow

We all are pieces of the whole
With different feelings to evoke
Giving distinction to the role
Different players-different strokes
But let me tell you 'bout...

Chorus

Some people walk
Some people race
Some people vary in their pace
But God can use what you can give
Within the mystery of His ways
Don't underestimate...

Chorus

God Is In Control
By Twila Paris

This is no time for fear
This is a time for faith and determination
Don't lose the vision here
Carried away by emotion
Hold on to all that you hide in your heart
There is one thing that has always been true
It holds the world together

God is in control
We believe that His children will not be forsaken
God is in control
We will choose the remember and never be shaken
There is no power above or beside Him, we know
God is in control

History marches on
There is a bottom line drawn across the ages
Culture can make its plan
Oh, but the line never changes
No matter how the deception may fly
There is one thing that has always been true
It will be true forever

He has never let you down
Why start to worry now?
He is still the Lord of all we see
And He is still the loving Father
Watching over you and me

Hold Me Jesus
By: Rich Mullins

Well, sometimes my life just don't make sense at all
When the mountains look so big
And my faith just seems so small

So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace

And I wake up in the night and feel the dark
It's so hot inside my soul
I swear there must be blisters on my heart

So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace

Surrender don't come natural to me
I'd rather fight You for something I don't really want
Than to take what You give that I need
And I've beat my head against so many walls
Now I'm falling down, I'm falling on my knees

And this Salvation Army band is playing this hymn
And Your grace rings out so deep
It makes my resistance seem so thin

I'm singing hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace

You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace

Rock of Ages
written by Augustus M. Toplady


Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee;
let the water and the blood,
from thy wounded side which flowed,
be of sin the double cure;
save from wrath and make me pure.

Not the labors of my hands
can fulfill thy law's commands;
could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears forever flow,
all for sin could not atone;
thou must save, and thou alone.

Nothing in my hand I bring,
simply to the cross I cling;
naked, come to thee for dress;
helpless, look to the for grace;
foul, I to the fountain fly;
wash me, Savior, or I die.

While I draw this fleeting breath,
when mine eyes shall close in death,
when I soar to worlds unknown,
see thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee.

David Phelps, “Loves Goes On”

A shooting star tumbles down its flame cannot endure
A scarlet rose withers brown to lose its fragrant lure
The moon illuminates the night to vanish in the dawn
But love, love goes on.

Fortunes fail and disappear like castles in the sand
Power spoils and causes fear to yield to stronger hands
Fame lasts for a moment then it a moment it is gone
But love, love goes on.

Beauty fades, passion wanes and faces show their years
Death steals a lover’s touch away but time dries up the tears
Tunes are soon forgotten and singers lose their songs
But love, love goes on.

A baby boy, a starlit night
Kings on bended knee
Healing hands giving sight then tortured on a tree
A woman sings, rejoicing “He is risen, He is gone”
Because love, love goes on.

Pedro the Lion, "Lullaby"

The sun shines
And leaves blow
And my hope like autumn is turning brown
I know it seems like I'm always falling down
(Chorus)

Chorus:
But it does not matter to me
Although it seems like it should
It's because I know I'm understood when I hear Him say
Rest in me little David
And dry all your tears
You can lay down your armor
And have no fear
Cause I'm always here
When you're tired of running
And I'm all the strength that you need

It's uphill both ways
Tomorrow I swear I won't act this way
And I know it seems like that is what I always say

Truth and Bone - Heather Nova

Sometime I can feel you breathing into me.
And these hands I can feel them tugging at my sleeve,
I move through the day in the rhythms that I've known.
I've got this crazy dream of stripping down
To truth and bone.

All of it, all of it, all of it stripped down.
All of it, all of it, all of it, to truth and bone.

My mouth is full of secrets I'm too afraid to tell.
My body's full of longing for you to know me well.
I move through the day in the rhythms that I've known.
I've got this crazy dream of stripping down
To truth and bone.

All of it, all of it, all of it stripped down
All of it, all of it, all of it, to truth and bone.

I think of sinking in way over my shoulders,
Let the water, the water take me in and I
Need you to cut through to where I'm hidden and
I'm awkward and I'm too polite and I want
Two stars for arms like Orion I could
Breathe in, breathe in, breathe out.
If I could only lose myself
I would lose myself in you,
I move through the day in the rhythms that I've known.
I've got this crazy dream of stripping down
To truth and bone.

All of it, all of it, all of it stripped down
All of it, all of it, all of it, to truth and bone.

Have a nice day,
Kelly :)

I've got a degree in medieval history and I really like the medieval Christian religious tones in this song - my favorite part being the last four verses (starting with "I've come tonight, I've come to know.") I know a lot of the references are more "earthly" than "spiritual," but that's just part of the medieval perspective that I like so much about the song.

Thick as Thieves - Natalie Merchant

Remember how it all began
the apple and the fall of man
the price we pay
so the people say

Down the path of shame it led us
dare to bite the hand that fed us
fairy tale with moral end
wheel of fortune never turns again

Never turns again

The worst of it is come and gone in the chaos of millennium
in the falling out of the doomsday crowd
their last retreat is moving slow
they burn their bridges as they go
the heretic is beatfied
teach the harlot's child to smile

Wracked again by indecision
should we make that small incision
testify to the bleeding heart inside
we cut, we scratched, we rend, we slashed
and when he opened up at last
found a cul-de-sac
deep and black
smoke and ash

deep and black
smoke and ash

The wicked king of parody
is kissing all his enemies
on the seventh day of the seventh week
the tyrant's voice is softer now
but just for one forgiving hour
before the rise of his
Iron fist again
Fist again

I've to come tonight
I've come to know
The way we are
the way we'll go
and to measure this
the width of a wide abyss

I come to you in restless sleep
where all your dreams turn bittersweet
with voodoo doll philosophies
dayglo holy trinities

the crooked raft that leaves the shore
ferries drunken souls aboard
pilgrims march to Compostela
visions of their saint in yellow

follow deep in trance
lost in a catatonic dance
know no future
damn the past
blind, warm, ecstatic
safe at last

Have a nice day,
Kelly :)

Chris Tomlin - Indescribable
From the album Arriving

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea,
Creation's revealing Your majesty.
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring,
Every creature unique in the song that it sings. All exclaiming...

(Chorus)
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.

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go,
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow?
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light,
Yet conceals it to give us the coolness of night?
None can fathom...

(Chorus)

Incomparable, Unchangeable,
You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same.
You are amazing God.

MxPx, "The Capitol"

When there's nowhere else to hide,
When there's no one left to stand beside,
When everything seems wrong,
I've been with you all along

When neglect is all you really know,
When nowhere's where you want to go
When they treat you like you don't belong,
I've been with you all along

I'm the heart, the soul, the mind
The capitol of every kind
Those that seek will surely find,
Those that don't are surely blind,
Those that seek will surely find

When time is always running out,
When weathering a storm of doubt
When the narrow path is long,
I've been with you all along

When your heart has been tied down,
And thrown into the sea to drown
When the love you knew is gone,
I've been with you all along

Every step of the way,
Every passing day.

Jeremy Camp - I Still Believe
From the album Stay

Scattered words and empty thoughts / seem to pour from my heart
I've never felt so torn before/ seems I don't know where to start
But it's now that I feel your grace fall like rain
From every fingertip, washing away my pain

I still believe in your faithfulness / I still believe in your truth
I still believe in your holy word / even when I don't see, I still believe

Though the questions still fog up my mind / with promises I still seem to bear
Even when answers slowly unwind / It's my heart I see you prepare
But it's now that I feel your grace fall like rain
From every fingertip, washing away my pain

I still believe in your faithfulness / I still believe in your truth
I still believe in your holy word / even when I don't see, I still believe

The only place I can go is into your arms / where I throw to you my feeble prayers
In brokenness I can see that this was your will for me / Help me to know you are near

I still believe in your faithfulness / I still believe in your truth
I still believe in your holy word / even when I don't see, I still believe

4 of my favorite songs

"Dare You To Move"- Switchfoot

welcome to the planet
welcome to existence
everyone's here (everyone's here)
everybody's watching you now
everybody waits for you now
what happens next? (what happens next?)

i dare you to move (i dare you to move)
i dare you to lift yourself off of the floor
i dare you to move (i dare you to move)
like today never happened
today never happened before
welcome to the fallout
welcome to resistance
the tension is here (the tension is here)
between who you are and who you could be

(chorus)

maybe redemption has stories to tell
maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
salvation is here

"Plain" - Zoe Girl

He made you feel plain
When he forgot your name
Well let me tell you something,
I have felt the same.
I know you're in pain
But there'll be another Boy along the way and
God he made you beautiful and
There's nothing about you thats plain.

CHORUS
You are jewel you're a treasure
You are one of a kind
And you shine just as bright
As the stars in the sky
You're a rare kind of wonder
Created just right
So keep your head up no matter the pain
Theres nothing about you thats plain

You tell me you're not the type
The kind of girl that they like
And your a little insecure about
How you look in their eyes.
Well fashion will change,
Trends come and go everyday,
But God only made one of you and
There's nothing about you thats plain

CHORUS
You are a jewel you're a treasure
You are one of a kind and
You shine just a bright as
The stars in the sky.
You're a rare kind of wonder created just right
So keep your head up no matter the pain
Theres nothing about you thats plain.

See your mind, it is precious
Though your heart may be restless
And your eyes they will see
All that you're meant to be
'Cause your spirit is strong
And your soul carries on
You'll keep your head up no matter the pain
There's nothing about you that's plain

You know I've had my days,
When I feel out of place....yea
I look at who I am,
Cover what I can ,
I wish it all would change. But...
Take the makeup away
You see the same girl still remains..
She may not feel that beautiful
But theres nothing about her thats plain.

CHORUS
You are jewel you're a treasure
You are one of a kind
And you shine just as bright
As the stars in the sky
You're a rare kind of wonder
Created just right so keep
Your head up no matter the pain
Theres nothing about you thats plain

You may have felt plain,
But...God, He knows your name
Let me tell you something, yeah...
There's nothing about you that's plain

"Bring On The Rain" - Jodee Messina

Another day has almost come and gone,
Can't imagine what else could go wrong
Sometimes I'd like to hide away,
Somewhere and lock the door
A single battle lost, but not the war

'Cause tomorrow's another day
And I'm thirsty anyway
So bring on the rain

It's almost like the hard times circle round,
A couple drops, and they all start comin down
Yeah, I might feel defeated,
And I might hang my head,
I might be barely breathing,
But I'm not dead

'Cause tomorrow's another day
And I'm thirsty anyway
So bring on the rain

Oooh...
No I'm not gonna let it get me down
I'm not gonna cry
And I'm not gonna lose any sleep... tonight

'Cause tomorrow's another day
And I am not afraid
So bring on the rain

'Cause tomorrow's another day
And I'm thirsty anyway
So bring on the rain
So bring on the rain... Bring on the rain...

This Is My Prayer
by Joyce Martin
from the album "Diamonds on a Dusty Road"


May the sun wake you every day
With sacred words and time to pray
And listen to your life
Embrace each season as it comes
Always remember where you come from
Giving thanks to God
And may you learn to just let go
And leave it in His hands
And find some peace down every road

I know
I know
I know
That you wonder what your tomorrows hold

I know
I know
I know
Love will never leave you alone
He'll be there
This is my prayer

That you'd find friends that you can trust
Don't be afraid to fall in love
Cause love is the one thing
As sure as the stars are gonna shine
Don't ever leave your dreams behind
And stand up for what you believe
Take the time to see the good
It's everywhere
And find your passion
Live your truth

As I breathe the air
I send this prayer
To God above
That you know
That you are loved

(chorus)

Here's one by Michael W. Smith that I just heard and really like....
"Healing Rain"
Healing rain is coming down
It's coming nearer to this old town
Rich and poor, weak and strong
It's bringing mercy, it won't be long

Healing rain is coming down
It's coming closer to the lost and found
Tears of joy, and tears of shame
Are washed forever in Jesus' name

Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain

Lift your heads, let us return
To the mercy seat where time began
And in your eyes, I see the pain
Come soak this cry heart with healing rain

And only You, the Son of man
Can take a leper and let him stand
So lift your hands, they can be held
By someone greater, the great I Am

Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain

To be washed in Heaven's rain...

Healing rain is falling down
Healing rain is falling down
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid...

Steven Curtis Chapman, "All Things New"

You spoke and made the sunrise, to light up the very first day
You breathed across the water, and started the very first wave
It was You
You intoduced Your glory, to every living creature on earth
And they started singing, the first song to ever be heard
They sang for You

You make all things new
You make all things new

Then the world was broken, fallen and battered and scarred
You took the hopeless, the life, wasted, ruined and marred
And made it new

You make all things new
You make all things new
You redeem and You transform
You renew and You restore
You make all things new
You make all things new
And forever we will watch and worship You

You turn winter into spring
You take every living thing
And You breathe Your breath of life into it over and over again

You make the sunrise, day after day after day
But there's a morning coming, when old things will all pass away
And everyone will see

You make all things new
You make all things new
Come redeem and come transform
Come renew and come restore
You make all things new
You make all things new
And forever we will watch and worship You

Now and forever You are making all things new
You're making all things new

Switchfoot is like medication for me, if I'm feeling down I just have to listen to them to feel better.

Augustine by Switchfoot

Augustine
Just woke up with a broken heart
All this time
He's never been awake before

At thirty-one
His whole world is a question mark
All this time
He's never been awake before

Watching dreams the he once had
Feed the flames inside his head
In a quiet desperation of the emptiness
he says

"There's gotta be something more
Than what I'm living for
I'm crying out to You"

Augustine
All his fears keep falling out
All this time
he's never been awake before

Finding now
His old dreams aren't panning out
All this time
He's never been awake before

But he's mad to be alive
And he's dying to be met
In a quiet desperation of the emptiness
he says...

"Hey I give it all away
Nothing I was holding back remains
Hey, I give it all away
Looking for the grace of God today"
And this is my absolute favorite: Only Hope by Switchfoot

There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write
over and over again
I'm awake and in the infinite cold
But You sing to me over and over and
over again

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
And pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now You're my only hope

Sing to me of the song of the stars
Of Your galaxy dancing and laughing
and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that You have
for me over again


I give You my apathy
I'm giving You all of me
I want Your symphony
Singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back

I like this song by Michelle Tumes. Because I need a lot of mercy.

Christe Eleison(Christ have mercy)

Will you bring us joy in our youth
In the age of want and despair
Oh You're always leading
With the life You're bringing

And we wonder who we are
And we ponder who we've become
Ooh our hearts have slumbered
Ooh our feet have stumbled

Kyrie Eleison, Christe Eleison(Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy)
Kyrie Eleison, Christe Eleison

When we pass through ancient streets
Of our hopeless history
Ooh our eyes our weeping
Oh but we are seeking

Kyrie Eleison, Christe Eleison
Kyrie Eleison, Christe Eleison

Mis se rei rei nobis nobis(I don't know what this means)
Mis se rei rei nobis nobis

I really like Switchfoot as well :) I am going to have to listen to their version of this song because I have only heard Mandy Moore's version of it.

Pedro the Lion, "Slow And Steady Wins The Race"

All the way to Grandma's house
I stayed on the narrow path.
But my brother wandered off
Deep into the woods.
Bitten twice by rattle snakes
Tangled up in poison oak
He fell down and broke his legs
Into a great ravine.
When I arrived at Grandma's house
She made us tea and cake.
She asked me where my brother was.
I said I don't know, and ate.

When I get to heaven, I'll be greeted warmly.
Surrounded by angels
As Jesus takes my hand.
I'll receive a mansion
On the river Jordan
And a crown of diamonds
For a race well run.
I won't ever lock my doors.
I will trust my neighbors
Confident that they deserve
To be there in heaven, too.

Ouch. This guy is NOT your typical Christian singer. One of my personal faves. More on PTL's unique style of music: http://www.cornerstonemag.com/pages/show_page.asp?46
