If I could sum up my current journey in terms of my most desperate prayers to God, through praise & worship, there are four songs I've been listening to and using during my time of personal worship to God. Bolded parts are my own emphasis.
Narrow Road
We walk on this narrow road, now restored as one we walk in Your hope
And though darkness fills our path, fear won't fix it's hold on us for we know
And love will shine before us on our path, and guide our every step within the dark.
We bear tidings of Your hope, freedom from the sinner's plight through Your love
Our eyes set upon this task, truth in hand as one we walk, we advance
And love will shine before us on our path, and guide every step within the dark
To know You is our only cry, knowing You our only cry, our God.
So Lord, here we are with humbled hearts, to see Your will be done.
Let love shape us to Your own design, to bear our Maker's heart.
You Are More
On the day I called, You answered me and the hope in my soul increased.
I lift my hands, and turn my eyes to the God who heals my heart and gives me peace.
You are more than my words could ever say
You are Lord over all, over all my days
I will see this season through, I will fix my eyes on You, only You - only You.
I worship You, and lift You high - God forever let Your name be glorified.
I will lift my voice and sing Your name for Your gave Your life to cleanse my sin and took away my shame.
You are more than my words could ever say
You are Lord over all, over all my days
I will see this season through, I will fix my eyes on You, only You - only You.
Hallelujah the earth will sing, may Your name be glorified.
Unending Love
There's no silver or gold and no treasure untold that could draw me away from Your heart
Neither love of myself or of anyone else will do
Jesus, nothing compares to this grace that rescues me.
Saviour, now and forever Your face is all I seek.
Now all I am I lay at Your feet, I'm humbled by the wonder of Your majesty
One thing I know, I'll find all I need in Your unending love, in Your unending love.
Letting go of my pride, I lay down my desires just to worship in spirit and truth.
More than all of my dreams, more than fame I will seek You Lord.
Jesus, nothing compares to this grace that rescues me.
Saviour, now and forever Your face is all I seek.
Now all I am I lay at Your feet, I'm humbled by the wonder of Your majesty
One thing I know, I'll find all I need in Your unending love, in Your unending love.
Alive In Us
Great is Your love, let the whole earth sing, let the whole earth sing.
You reached for us, from on heaven's throne, when we had no hope.
You are the way, there is no other. You are the way, there is no other!
You rose from death to victory - You reign in life, oh majesty!
Your name be high and lifted up, Jesus, Jesus alive in us.
You outshine the sun, You are glorious, You are glorious.
Lord over all, You have made us new, we owe it all to You.
In everything be exalted. In everything, be exalted.
You rose from death to victory - You reign in life, oh majesty!
Your name be high and lifted up, Jesus, Jesus alive in us.
The enemy is under Your feet - we are free; we are free!
Death has been defeated by love, You overcome; You overcome!
All four songs are from Hillsong Live's latest album - God Is Able. I urge you to get it, this is a seriously amazing album. The utter relevance to my current situation is so convicting for me and these songs are a cry from deep down in my heart.
God bless all of you.
