Only God Can Love You More

Snippet

"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies." - Aristotle

Scripture

Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?”

4 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’[a] 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’[b]? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”  Matthew 19:3-6 NIV

Song  Only God Could Love You More

The things you say

They hit me with a right sometimes

Hit me with a left sometimes

But I'm still standing

For Us

You make me wanna dream sometimes

Make me wanna scream sometimes

I'd never give you up

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/jerrod-niemann-only-god-can-love-you-more-lyrics.html ]

[Chorus:]

So know you are not alone

I am in this two, this is us

This is me and you

So go, turn and walk out that door

I hope you find what you're lookin' for

Just know only God could love you more

Than I do

I know

We take it to the limit sometimes

Our friends get caught up in it sometimes

Wish we never met sometimes

I'm not understating

[Repeat Chorus]

The things you say

They hit me with a right sometimes

Hit me with a left some times

I'm still standing

We're Still Standing

[Repeat Chorus]               

Sentence Prayer

Heavenly Father,

I come before you today with a heavy heart; my

marriage is in trouble, and I need your help.

Make changes in my spouse's heart. Make us

compatible again, and bring us closer together.

Fill us with your love and give us the strength

to love one another, care for one another, and

fulfill your destiny for us.

Show us the harm caused by careless words,

and the pain caused by emotional distance.

Bring us together, like we once were. Show

us how to love one another again.

Heal the division between us. Make us one again.

In your name I pray, Amen.

It don’t have a job, don’t pay your bills

Won’t buy you a home in Beverly Hills

Won’t fix your life in five easy steps

Ain’t the law of the land or the government?

But it’s all you need

And love will hold us together

Make us a shelter to weather the storm

And I’ll be my brother’s keeper

So the whole world would know that we’re not alone

It’s waiting for you knocking at your door

In the moment of truth when your heart hits the floor

And you’re on your knees

And love will hold us together

Make us a shelter to weather the storm

And I’ll be my brother’s keeper

So the whole world would know that we’re not alone

This is the first day of the rest of your life

This is the first day of the rest of your life

‘Cause even in the dark you can still see the light

It’s gonna be alright, it’s gonna be alright

This is the first day of the rest of your life

This is the first day of the rest of your life

‘Cause even in the dark you can still see the light

It’s gonna be alright, it’s gonna be alright

Love will hold us together

Make us a shelter to weather the storm

And I’ll be my brother’s keeper

So the whole world would know that we’re not alone

Sentence Prayer

My Brother's Keeper Prayer

Lord,

When I have food, Help me remember the hungry.

When I lie in my bed, Help me remember those who sleep on the floor.

When I have a warm home, Help me remember the homeless.

When I have work, Help me remember those without jobs.

When I experience the joy of giving to my children,

Help me remember the agony of those who must watch their children go without.

By remembering, Help me destroy my indifference and arouse my compassion.

Make me concerned enough to act in your name, to help those who cry out to you

for that which I so often take for granted. Amen

When you are always pushing the limits sometimes the Limits push back.

Scripture

Then the Lord answered Job out of the storm. He said:

“Who is this that darkens my counsel with words without knowledge?

Who shut up the sea behind doors

    when it burst forth from the womb,

when I made the clouds its garment

    and wrapped it in thick darkness,

when I fixed limits for it

    and set its doors and bars in place,

when I said, ‘This far you may come and no farther;

    here is where your proud waves halt’?  Job 38:1,2: 8-10

Song  Tornado By Little Big Town

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaEmQJG2HHU

Thought you'd change the weather

Start a little storm

Make a little rain

But I'm gonna do one better hide the sun until you pray

I'm a tornado looking for a soul to take

You're gonna see me coming by the selfish things that you did

I'm gonna leave you guessin' how this funnel is gonna hit

I'm a tornado looking for a man to break

Yeah, I'm gonna lift this house, spin it all around

Toss it in the air and put it in the ground

Make sure you're never found

Thought you'd take a swing

Try another girl, try another night,

But it's the pain that brings my force of nature back to life

I'm a tornado more disturbed than an F5

Hey, I'm gonna lift this house, spin it all around

Toss it in the air and put it in the ground

I'm gonna lift this house, spin it all around

Toss it in the air and put it in the ground

Make sure you're never found, oh, yeah

OOOOOOOOOOO

MMMMMMMMMM

I'm gonna lift this house, spin it all around

Toss it in the air and put it in the ground

I'm gonna lift this house, spin it all around

Toss it in the air and put it in the ground

Make sure you're never found

The winds are getting stronger

And the sky is falling through

And you ain't got much longer

'Til the rage rips off the roof

I'm a tornado... and I'm coming after you...

Oooo...

Hmm...

Oooo...

(I'm gonna lift this house, spin it all around

Toss it in the air and put it in the ground)

Sentence Prayer

Father; there is something about being made in your image, that deceives us into thinking we 

can live without limits.  We live as there is no end to what we can do-God Have Mercy!  

We live as there is no limit to our anger-the blood cry out-God have mercy!  We live as 

there is no limit to our money-while the hungry die-God have mercy!  Humble us Father, 

help us to begin to live within our God given limits!

Amen!  Amen!  Amen!

Sing to Christ

Snippet

“Do you hear the people sing

Lost in the valley of the night?

It is the music of a people

Who are climbing to the light.

For the wretched of the earth

There is a flame that never dies.

Even the darkest night will end

And the sun will rise.”

― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

Scripture

Don’t live carelessly, unthinkingly. Make sure you understand what the Master wants.   Don’t drink too much wine. That cheapens your life. Drink the Spirit of God, huge draughts of him. Sing hymns instead of drinking songs! Sing songs from your heart to Christ. Sing praises over everything, any excuse for a song to God the Father in the name of our Master, Jesus Christ.  Ephesians 5:17-20 Message.

Sing it out

Boy you've got to see what tomorrow brings

Sing it out

Girl you've got to be what tomorrow needs

For every time that they want to count you out

Use your voice every single time you open up your mouth

Sing it for the boys, sing it for the girls

Every time that you lose it sing it for the world

Sing it from the heart

Sing it till you're nuts

Sing it out for the ones that'll hate your guts

Sing it for the deaf

Sing it for the blind

Sing about everyone that you left behind

Sing it for the world, sing it for the world

Sing it out

Boy they're gonna sell what tomorrow means

Sing it out

Girl before they kill what tomorrow brings

You've got to, make a choice if the music drowns you out

Raise your voice every single time they try and shut your mouth

Sing it for the boys, sing it for the girls

Every time that you lose it sing it for the world

Sing it from the heart

Sing it till you're nuts

Sing it out for the ones that'll hate your guts

Sing it for the deaf

Sing it for the blind

Sing about everyone that you left behind

Sing it for the world, sing it for the world

Cleaned-up, corporation progress

Dying in the process

Children that can talk about it

Living on the webways

People moving sideways

Sell it till your last days

Buy yourself the motivation

Generation nothing,

Nothing but a dead scene

Product of a white dream

I am not the singer that you wanted, but a dancer

I refuse to answer, talk about the past, sir

Wrote it for the ones that want to get away.

Keep running

Sing it for the boys, sing it for the girls

Every time that you lose it sing it for the world

Sing it from the heart

Sing it till you're nuts

Singing out for the ones that'll hate your guts

Sing it for the deaf

Sing it for the blind

Sing about everyone that you left behind

Sing it for the world, sing it for the world

You've got to see what tomorrow brings

Sing it for the world

Sing it for the world

Girl, you've got to be what tomorrow needs

Sing it for the world

Sing it for the world

Sentence Prayer

Father, give me a song to sing, . . . A song that builds wise choices

Holy Spirit give me a song to sing. . .A song that brings laughter

Wildfire

Snippet

The sight of that horse did something to me I’ve never been able to explain. He was more than

tremendous strength and speed and beauty of motion. He set me dreaming Walt Morey

Scripture

I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. 12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.”[a] He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:  king of kings and lord of lords.  Revelation 19:11-16 NIV

Song Wildfire By Michael Martin Murphy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gl4Y4FWWkn0

She comes down from Yellow Mountain

On a dark, flat land she rides

On a pony she named Wildfire

With a whirlwind by her side

On a cold Nebraska night

Oh, they say she died one winter

When there came a killing frost

And the pony she named Wildfire

Busted down its stall

In a blizzard he was lost

She ran calling Wildfire [x3]

By the dark of the moon I planted

But there came an early snow

There's been a hoot-owl howling by my window now

For six nights in a row

She's coming for me, I know

And on Wildfire we're both gonna go

We'll be riding Wildfire [x3]

On Wildfire we're gonna ride

Gonna leave sodbustin' behind

Get these hard times right on out of our minds

Riding Wildfire

Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart.

Washington Irving

Scripture

The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish.  

There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.  Even in

laughter the heart may ache, and joy may end in grief. Proverbs 14:11-13

Song  Don’t Waste Your Life Lecrae

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RWEllqh5J0

TDon't Waste Your Life"

Don't wanna waste my life

I know a lot of people out there scared they're gone die

A couple of them thinking they'll be livin' in the sky

But while I'm here livin' man I gotta ask why, what am here fo' I gotta figure out

Waste my life

No I gotta make it count

If Christ is real then what am I gonna do about

Everything in Luke 12: 15 down to 21

You've really gotta go and check it out

Paul said if Christ ain't resurrected we've wasted our lives

Well that implies that our life's built around Jesus being alive

Everyday I'm living tryin' to show the world why

Christ is more than everything you'll ever try

Better than pretty women and sinning and living to get a minute of any women and men that you

admire

It ain't no lie

We're created for Him

Outta the dust he made us for Him

Elects us and he saves us for Him

Jesus comes and he raises for Him

Magnify the Father why bother with something lesser

He made us so we could bless Him

To the world we confess Him

Resurrects Him

So I know I got life

Matter fact better man I know I got Christ

If you don't see His ways in my days and nights

You can hit my brakes you can stop my life

Then I lost my rights

I lost my life

Forget the money cars and toss that ice

The cost is Christ

And they could never offer me anything on the planet that would cost that price.

Armed and dangerous

So the devil just can't hang with us

Christian youth them will stand with us

Living and driven

Given a vision

Fullfillin' the commission he handed us

London to Los Angeles

The rap evangelist

My daddy wouldn't abandon us

I gotta backpack full of tracts and I keep it on the Johnny mac

So are you ready to jam with us

So let's go, give me the word an let's go

Persecution let's go

Tribulation let's go

Across the nation let's go

Procrastination let's go

Hung on the cross in the cold

Died for the young and the old

Can't say you never know

Heaven knows how many souls are going to hell or to heaven so we gotta go in to get them

Suffer?

Yeah, do it for Christ!

You're trying to figure what to do with your life

If you make a lot of money hope you're doing it right

Because the money is God's you better steward it right

And stay focused

You ain't got no ride

Your life ain't wrapped up in what you drive

The clothes you wear, the job you work

The color your skin naw you're a Christian first

People get to living for a job

Make a little money start living for a car

Get 'em a wife a house kids and a dog

Then they retire they're living high on the hog

But guess what they didn't ever really live at all

To live is Christ and that's Paul I recall

To die is gain so for Christ we give it all

He's the treasure you'll never find in a mall

Your money your singleness marriage talent your time

They were loaned to you to show the world that Christ is Divine

That's why it's Christ in my rhymes

That's why it's Christ all the time

See my whole world is built around Him He's the life in my lines

I refused to waste my life

He's too true to chase that ice

Here's my gifts and time

'Cause I'm constantly trying to be used to praise the Christ

If he's truly raised to life

Then this news should change your life

And by his grace you can put your faith in place that rules your days and nights

Sentence Prayer

Heavenly Father,

Loosen my grip on the things of this world.  

Jesus, 

Tighten my grip on you in the dance of life, remind me of your grace toward me.

Holy Spirit,

Search the deep things of God, reveal the foolishness to me of Y.O.LO.  Remind me daily

Through the Grace of the cross this life is just not it.

Help me not waste my life, but to use it to gain eternal wealth.  Amen
