& my song shall ever be.

If you weren't aware, I spent the weekend in Florida at a Beth Moore conference. Yeah, words cannot do it justice! The way God speaks through that woman is so amazing to me. She taught about family, the spiritual and biological family. For our little group that went, and I'm sure the other 4,795 women, it spoke directly to our hearts. We are all dealing with much different circumstances and situations, and yet He can still speak clearly and specifically to all of us at the same time. How wonderful He is! Maybe another time I'll share more of her message with you, but tonight I want to share a couple songs that I'm listening to over and over and over. I bought Travis Cottrell's cd, who was the worship leader at the conference. It's beautiful beyond words. And expresses my heart for Him so well. Jesus, this my song shall ever be...

I Will Sing of My Redeemer (You Set Me Free)

I will sing of my Redeemer & His wondrous love to me.
On the cruel cross He suffered.
From the curse, to set me free.
Sing, oh sing, of my Redeemer.
With His blood He purchased me.
On the cross, He sealed my pardon,
paid the debt, and set me free.

I will tell the wondrous story,
how my lost esta
te to save,
In His boundless love and mercy,
He the ransom freely gave.
Sing, oh sing, of my Redeemer.
With His blood He purchased me.
On the cross He sealed my pardon,
paid the debt, and set me free.

You set me free!
I'm ransomed, so free!
The darkness is over
beholding I see,
a living Redeemer
Love healing me.
Forever forgiven
this love song I bring.
You set me free.

I will praise my dear Redeemer.
His triumphant power I'll tell.
How the victory He giveth
over sin, and death, and hell.
Sing, oh sing, of my Redeemer.
With His blood He purchased me.
On the cross, He sealed my pardon,
paid the debt, and set me free.

A living Redeemer, Love healing me.
Forever forgiven, this love song I bring...
You've set me free.


And this other song is my heart-cry for our world. We say, "Do it, Lord," also knowing that it is our responsibility, our call, our vocation to go out and bring these things to pass by our love-in-action. That was our message in church this morning-- we are Christ's ambassadors. May we have the faith to believe, the assuranceto trust, and the boldness to pray: let Your kingdom come through us, Jesus!

I see Your glory covering the earth, Lord,
just as the waters are covering the sea.
I see the millions coming to salvation.
I see revival fire in the land.
I see the lost, nameless ones remembered.
I see the widows shouting out Your praise.
I see the friendless loved and celebrated,
orphans fulfilling, Lord, Your calling on their lives.
Do it, Lord, do it, Lord.
Do it, Lord, we are praying.
Do it, Lord, do it that Your glory may be seen.

I see forgiveness overtaking hatred,
pride and prejudice now giving way to love.
I see depression replaced with joy and gladness
and Satan's lies now bowing to the Truth.
Do it, Lord, do it, Lord.
Do it, Lord, we are praying.
Do it, Lord, do it that Your glory may be seen.
This is our prayer, Oh God. This is our desperate cry.
In these days that we're living now, let Your kingdom come.
Let Your will be done.

I see the brokenness of families brought to wholeness.
I see the prodigals running home to You.
Father's hearts now turning toward their children
& their children's hearts turning toward their fathers.
I see Your church rising up in power
laying down their lives in unity and love.
I hear the sound of every tribe & nation
giving glory to Jesus Christ the Son.
Do it, Lord, do it, Lord.
Do it, Lord, we are praying.
Do it, Lord, do it that Your glory may be seen.

In these days that we're living now
let Your kingdom come.
Let Your will be done.
