friends micheal w smith
 

Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
I can't believe the hopes He's granted
Means a chapter in your life is through
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends

And with the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you live in
Is the strength that now you show
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong, yeah yeah

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends
To live as friends
though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends
No, a lifetime's not too long to live as friends

What does that mean?

that's a very popular song by Michael W Smith... Karen :) Michael has an amazing story of how God lifted him out of a real quagmire in his own life. Really nice guy and writes really wonderful music and lyrics

how are you Xena?
hope you are looking around the forums here and meeting others too
:grouphug:

Oh... thanks. That's interesting.

I stopped listening to music sometime ago when I had a lot of trouble with my memory and when noise was very irritating. Music didn't seem soothing at all then.

Now I'm better, but I've failed to go back to listening... :(

Thanks again. appreciate the info.

Im sorry consider this when you asked for more music I should of told you I only listen to chirstian music.

I gave up all that other music when I was saved awhile back, Now I only listen to christian music and read my bible all the time.

Its every thing too me....

amy gran, love of another kind
 

They say love is cruel
They say love is rather fragile
But I've found in You
A love of another kind.

They say love brings hurt
I say love brings healing
Understanding first
It's a love of another kind.

(Bridge)
The love I know
Is a love so few discover
They need to know
Jesus' love is like no other.

They save love won't last
I say love is neverending
Cause in You I have
A love of another kind.

They would change their tune
They would add another measure
If they only knew
This love of another kind.

(Repeat Bridge)
(Repeat Verses)

Love of another kind
The love of another kind
The love of another kind
The love of another, the love of another kind.

Give me love
This is love (this is love)
Another kind, another kind of love.

This is love (this is love)
You need another kind of love
Another kind, another kind of love.
Another kind of love
This is love
Give me love
Another kind, another kind of love.

Find A Way
Amy Grant

You tell me your friends are distant
You tell my your man's untrue
You tell me that you've been walked on
And how you feel abused

So you stand here an angry young woman
Taking all the pain to heart
I hear you saying you want to see changes
But you don't know how to start

Love will find a way (How do you know)
Love will find a way (How can you see)
I know it's hard to see the past and still believe
Love is gonna find a way
I know that
Love will find a way (A way to go)
Love can make a way (Only love can know)
Leave behind the doubt
Love's the only out
Love will surely find a way

I know this life is a strange thing
I can't answer all the why's
Tragedy always finds me
Taken agin by surprise

I could stand here an angry young woman
Taking all the pain to heart
But I know that love can bring changes
And so we've got to move on

(Repeat Chorus)

If our God His Son not sparing
Came to rescue you
Is there any circumstance
That He can't see you through

(Repeat Chorus)

You know some days I like me.
Some days I don't.
Some days I try with passion.
Sometimes I won't.
I might just hold my guard up,
And lock my heart up tight,
But it's the door that's open,
Letting in the light.
There's a battle raging
Inside of me.
It's a holy struggle,
And it won't let go of me.
No, no, no,
I don't want to stop the fighting,
Wo, wo, wo,
I just want to live right.
I used to sit and ponder
If I'd be fine,
If Jesus lived His own life,
And I lived mine.
But love is such a magnet,
It pulled me night and day,
Until my needy heart
Just couldn't stay away.
Life can drive you crazy,
Or just about.
But even when it's most frustrating,
This kid's not walking out.
No, no, no,
I don't want to stop the fighting,
Wo, wo, wo,
Sure it's tough but I won't deny it,
No, no, no,
I don't want to waste my life hiding,
Wo, wo, wo,
I just want to live right.
I've made up my mind now,
I don't want to lose out, (Unguarded)
Beginning to see now,
What the fight is about, (Unguarded heart)
I gotta stay open,
Keep defenses all down, (Unguarded)
Don't want to be hiding,
When the love comes round.
No, no, no,
I don't want to stop the fighting,
Wo, wo, wo,
I just want to live right.
No, no, no,
I don't want to stop the fighting,
Wo, wo, wo,
Sure it's tough but I won't deny it,
No, no, no,
I don't want to waste my life hiding,
Wo, wo, wo,
I just want to live right.
No, no, no,
I don't want to stop the fight, now,
Wo, wo, wo,
I just want to live right, now.
No, no, no,
I don't want to stop the fighting,
Wo, wo, wo,
I just want to live right.
No, no, no,
I just can't stop the fighting,
Wo, wo, wo,
If I want to live right.
No, no, no,
I don't want to stop the fighting,
Wo, wo, wo,
I just want to live right

Lord, You know how much
I want to know so much
In the way of answers and explanations
I have cried and prayed
And still I seem to stay
In the middle of life’s complications
All this pursuing leaves me feeling
like I’m chasing down the wind
But now it’s brought me back to You
And I can see again

This is everything I want
This is everything I need
I want this to be my one consuming passion
Everything my heart desires
Lord, I want it all to be for You, Jesus
Be my magnificent obsession

So capture my heart again
Take me to depths I’ve never been
Into the riches of Your grace and Your mercy
Return me to the cross
And let me be completely lost
In the wonder of the love
That You’ve shown me
Cut through these chains that tie
me down to so many lesser things
Let all my dreams fall to the ground
Until this one remains

You are everything I want
And You are everything I need
Lord, You are all my heart desires
You are everything to me

You are everything I want
You are everything I need
I want You to be my one consuming passion
Everything my heart desires
Lord, I want it all to be for You
I want it all to be for You

I have been there mark schultz
 

In a room without a view
A new mother smiles and holds the tiny fingers
Of her brand new baby girl
Her husband takes her by the hand
So unsure about the future and no money
Can they make it in this world
And they pray, Lord all we have to give is love
Then they heard a gentle voice
Like an echo from above

Oh I have been there
I know what fear is all about
Yes, I have been there
And I am standing with you now
I have been there
And I came to build a bridge oh so this road could
Lead you home
Oh I have been there

He’d been a pastor twenty years
But tonight he sits alone and brokenhearted
In the corner of the church
He’s tried to change a fallen world
With his words and with his wisdom
But it seems like it is only getting worse
And he cries
Oh Lord I just don’t understand
And then he felt the hand of grace,
And he heard a voice that said

I have been there
I know what pain is all about
Yes, I have been there
And I am standing with you now
I have been there
And I came to build to a bridge oh so
This road could lead you home
Oh I have been there

An older man up on a hill
Holding flowers but he can’t hold back the tears
He has come to say goodbye
He thinks about the life she lived
Thinks about how hard it’s been
To live without her
Sixty years right by his side
And he cries, Oh Lord I loved her
‘til the end
Then he heard a gentle voice say you’ll see her once again

I have been there
I know what sorrow is all about
Yes, I have been there
And I am standing with you now
I have been there
And I came to build a bridge
Oh so this road could lead her home
The road could lead her home
Oh I have been there

You know I overcame the cross
I have been there
So her life would not be lost
I have been there
And I came to build a bridge
Oh so this road could lead you home
The road could lead you home
Oh I have been there

That was really nice of you to take an interest in my thread where I needed help.

Thank you.

((((((((mommy)))))))

I keep looking for you, and I haven't seen you for a while.

I was gone, too, for awhile, because the stress from the court thing cut me down a bit.

I was so grateful for your prayers.

I hope you are doing okay.

(((((((((Mommy)))))))))
