When Love is the raging sea
You can hold on to me
We'll find a way tonight
Love is an ocean wide
Enough to forget...even when we think we can't.
Love is an ocean wide.
---
Maybe a greater thing will happen
Maybe all will see
Maybe our love will catch like fire
---
How many kings, stepped down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
How many Gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that has torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
---
Lead me to the Cross, where Your love poured out.
Lead me to Your heart...to Your heart.
---
It's everything You've promised
There's no greater love than this
From prophets until today
A man laying down His life for His friends
Your sacrifice has spoken, You gave everything
And “I love you” could not be said
A better way
---
I know it might not look that way
But You’re gonna live to fight another day
There’s a place I know
Outside of town
Let’s get out of here
Where all our fears don’t hang around
Here’s another chance
Take it while you can
Cause it sure wont last
Moves so fast
And it’s gone again
---
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
---
Can you feel the call of love?
Is it moving you to be a child of God of love?
Is it reaching you?
It's everywhere the call of love.
I just want to show you what I mean
I just want to love like you've never seen
Do you want to live like you used to dream?
Then I've got a song for you
Cuz I am gonna show you what I mean
I am gonna' love like you've never seen
You are gonna live like you used to dream
This is your new song

Cover me with a red sky tonight. The promise of a better day to come.
All you need is a sunrise.
We all go through storms, and all of our storms are unique.
Sometimes God decides to rescue us from those storms, and sometimes He decides to go with us through the storm. But no matter which way He chooses, He will never leave or abandon us. And we are to praise Him in the midst of every storm He brings us.
So often the giants call and shout out our names and remind us of all the times we have fallen. The giants say we can't do it, we can't go on, we can't overcome. And in the moments of wanting to quit so badly, God says no. Keep fighting. I tell you a different story. The Voice of Truth says do not be afraid...I will get you through it.
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away.
Walks...Stands...Sits...Psalm 1...
People NEVER crumble in a day.
You're part of a body, not an audience.
You can come tragically close to the well, and go away thirsty. You can know everything about God, and go to Church, and read your Bible, and go to concerts, and never drink the living water of Jesus.
It doesn't bother the world that we sin, it bothers them that we act like we don't sin.
Maybe it's time to throw of all the superficial, and live transparently?
A good song always poses good questions.
And all good conversation requires the same.
"If all I had was one last chance, I would take it, and I would stake it all on You."
What you pour into your life will eventually come out.
"Your love is extravagent, Your friendship it is intimate."
"What if the Church, for heaven's sake
Finally stepped up to the plate
Took a stand upon God's promise
And stormed hell's rusty gates?
Chorus I:
What if His people prayed
And those who bear His name
Would humbly seek His faith, yeah
And turn from their old ways?
And what would happen if we prayed
For those raised up to lead the way?
Then maybe kids in school could pray
And unborn children see light of day
What if the life that we pursue
Came from a hunger for the truth
What if the family turned to Jesus
Stopped asking Oprah what to do?"
---
Everything, in the end, comes down to Jesus. It's all about Jesus, and it's all about love.
--
And there it is...everything, all right in front of you.
We know what to do, we know the it will be hard, but we know God would provide and lead if we would but DO what He says.
We know what to do, but why don't we do it?
Why are our priorities always so out of whack?
It is really quite interesting that in a day and age where MILLIONS are spent on Christian music, many know next to nothing about correct doctrine or even how to share the Gospel, and even less know how to live out the Christian life.
We're told in songs to love people like Jesus, but do we do that?
We ask for the eyes of Jesus, so we can see everything we keep missing, but do we really really deep-down want that? Do we really want our lives to be altered that much? Or, do we just want to stay safe?
So often, I want to stay safe and secure in my own little bubble.
The words that we sing, do we sing them because we mean them? Or, do we sing them because of the sweet beat or the fact that everyone else is singing? Oh, everyone else is singing, I better sing. haha. Well, what if everyone is singing just because everyone else is, and everyone just wants to fit in? Then, everyone is fake, and that is what alot of Christianity is today in America.
It's fake and plasticy, and not relational and vibrant.
Music gets old, and stories change.
Everything is fine here at this place. Everything is fine at the alter.
But when the music is over, and we leave this place, it's only you and Jesus.
And He wants an intimate relationship, He wants us to radically give over every part of our lives to Him, and for us to give ourselves fully to Him. He wants us, and He wants all of us, forever and ever.
And He gave everything for us, and He romanced a broken world because He wanted you and He wanted me. He gave everything, and I love you could not be said a better way.
