TRIBUTE

Snippet

Caring for veterans shouldn't be a partisan issue. It should an American one. Jennifer Granholm

Scriptures

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. PSALMS 27:1-3 KJV

TRIBUTE

DISCIPLE

http://youtu.be/9OY0SBRFzaY

The things your eyes have seen
Are the content of my darkest dreams
But you take it willingly
The war that keeps my family free

To all the brothers that have gone
I want your memory to live on
As I'm on my knees I hope your heart can hear me

I'm praying as you're sleeping
Peace will find your dreams tonight
And you'll know
I am so thankful for all you've done

Across the foreign shores
Are the souls I won't ignore
That would not run from our enemies
As we rest in our peace

Tonight I'm praying for your child
That it won't be a long while
'Till all our brothers come home
To fight no more

I'm praying as you're sleeping
Peace will find your dreams tonight
And you'll know
I am so thankful for all you've done

And as the rain stops falling
I thank my God
It's camouflaging the tears
The fall from my eyes
As you're coming home
Come home

Sentence Prayer

May the peace of God that passes all understanding,

that peace which the world can neither give nor take away,

abide with us to bless us, this day, and even forever more.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the

Holy Spirit. Amen

FAITHFUL

Glory, majesty and beauty belong to you.
Everything in heaven and on earth belongs to you.

Your architecture

Oooooh Yeaaaaah

Your architecture

There are a million mountains that I'd like to climb

To get a glimpse of the heart of your design

So here I stand, here I stand on what You built

You are surrounding me and the walls will never, ever, 

ever come down

You built me up like a city of gold

The battles rage but I'm standing tall

You formed my heart like an empire

The wind and rain can't stop this fire

If only I could see it from Your perspective

The beauty and the grace of Your architecture

Oooooh

Oooooh

There are a million trees blowing in the wind

Witnesses of lives already led

So here I stand, here I stand on what You built

You are surrounding me and the walls will never, ever, 

ever come down (Never come down)

You built me up like a city of gold

The battles rage but I'm standing tall (Standing tall)

You formed my heart like an empire

The wind and rain can't stop this fire (Can't stop this fire)

If only I could see it from Your perspective (Your perspective)

The beauty and the grace of Your architecture (Architecture)

Oooooh

Yeaaaaah

Oooooh

Of Your architecture

Your architecture

Oooooh Yeaaaaah

Your architecture

Your architecture

Oooooh

Here I stand, here I stand on what You built

You are surrounding me (Yeaaaaah)

Here I stand, here I stand on what You built

You are surrounding me (Yeaaaaah)

Here I stand, here I stand on what You built

You are surrounding me and the walls will never, ever, 

ever come down

No, the walls will never, ever, ever come down (Yeaaaaah)

You build me up like a city of gold

The battles rage but I'm standing tall (I'm standing tall)

You formed my heart like an empire

The wind and rain can't stop this fire (Nothing can stop this fire)

If only I could see it from Your perspective (Yeaaaaah)

The beauty and the grace of Your architecture

Oooooh

Oooooh

Sentence Prayer

God of seed and growth and harvest,

Creator of need, Creator of satisfaction;

Give us, we pray, our daily bread,

Sufficient and assured for all.

Give us also, we pray, the bread of life,

And we shall have a care to feed the hungry,

And to seek peace and justice in the world.

Help us, then, to remember and to know

That you are our life today and every day;

You are the food we need, now and forever. Amen

(A New Zealand Prayer Book Pg. 125)

HALLELUJAH

Snippet

We would worry less if we praised more. Thanksgiving is the enemy of discontent and dissatisfaction.” ― Harry A. Ironside

Scripture

Hallelujah!

Praise God in his holy house of worship,

    praise him under the open skies;

Praise him for his acts of power,

    praise him for his magnificent greatness;

Praise with a blast on the trumpet,

    praise by strumming soft strings;

Praise him with castanets and dance,

    praise him with banjo and flute;

Praise him with cymbals and a big bass drum,

    praise him with fiddles and mandolin.

Let every living, breathing creature praise God!

    Hallelujah! Psalms 150

Amy Grant - Better Than A Hallelujah

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rm5kx3xqmg0

God loves a lulluby

In a mother's tears in the dead of night

Better than a Hallelujah sometimes

God loves the drunkard's cry

The soldier's plea not to let him die

Better than a Hallelujah sometimes

We pour out our miseries

God just hears a melody

Beautiful, the mess we are

The honest cries of breaking hearts

Are better than a Hallelujah

The woman holding on for life

The dying man giving up the fight

Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes

The tears of shame for what's been done

The silence when the words won't come

Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes

We pour out our miseries

God just hears a melody

Beautiful the mess we are

The honest cries of breaking hearts

Are better than a Hallelujah

Better than a church bell ringing

Better than a choir singing out, singing out

We pour out out miseries

God just hears a melody

Beautiful, the mess we are

The honest cries of breaking hearts

Are better than a Hallelujah

We pour out our miseries

God just hears a melody

Beautiful, the mess we are

The honest cries of breaking hearts

Are better than a Hallelujah

 (Better than a Hallelujah sometimes)

Better than a Hallelujah

(Better than a Hallelujah sometimes)

Sentence Prayer

Let everything in me Praise the Lord Amen

THERE YOU ARE!

Snippet

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls. Mother Teresa

Scripture

I can never escape from your Spirit!

I can never get away from your presence!

If I go up to heaven, you are there;

if I go down to the grave,

you are there.

If I ride the wings of the morning,

if I dwell by the farthest oceans,

even there your hand will guide me,

and your strength will support me.

I could ask the darkness to hide me

and the light around me to become

night—    but even in darkness I

cannot hide from you.  To you the

night shines as bright as day.

Darkness and light are the same to

you. Psalms 139:7-12 NLT

There You Are Rich Mullins

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TUcIQ0aZ6I

I stood on that Cherokee Plain

And the Cimeron broke free and jumped its banks

All in a rush of life

The thunderhead roared out its song

And it gave what was too much for it to hold

And so must I

And You light the sun to lead me

Send the wind to be my guide

Just the wonder of this prairie

So lonely and so alive

And the song the moon is singin'

With the rain and with the fire

Says there You are

(There You are)

There You are

In front of me

The antelopes' white flashing flanks

Sparked in the heart of the Cheyenne breaks

Only to disappear

Just like this memory of what once was my home

And as I move beyond everything I've known

You pull me near

And You light the sun to lead me

Send the wind to be my guide

Just the wonder of this prairie

So lonely and so alive

And the song the moon is singin'

With the rain and with the fire

Says there You are

(There You are)

There You are

And Your kingdom sings of a glory

Of a power that is Yours alone

And You're the one breathed into the many

You're faith ~ You're love ~ and the hope

As we lay our hearts before You

Our hands are free to let go

And there You are

(There You are)

There You are

In front of me"

Sentence Prayer

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

where there is injury,pardon;

where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light;

and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek

to be consoled as to console;

to be understood as to understand;

to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;

and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen  Prayer of St. Francis Assisi

MOUNTAIN OF GOD

Snippet

The mountains, the forest, and the sea, render men savage; they develop the fierce, but yet do not destroy the human. Victor Hugo

Scripture

I look up to the mountains—

does my help come from there?

My help comes from the Lord,

who made heaven and earth!

He will not let you stumble;

the one who watches over you will not slumber.

Indeed, he who watches over Israel

never slumbers or sleeps.  Psalms 121:1-4 NLT

Mountain of God Third Day

http://youtu.be/dgeMHHbFslk

Thought that I was all alone

Broken and afraid

But You were there with me

Yes, You were there with me

And I didn't even know

That I had lost my way

But You were there with me

Yes, You were there with me

'Til You opened up my eyes

I never knew

That I couldn't ever make it

Without You

Even though the journey's long

And I know the road is hard

Well, the One who's gone before me

He will help me carry on

After all that I've been through

Now I realize the truth

That I must go through the valley

To stand upon the mountain of God

As I travel on the road

That You have lead me down

You are here with me

Yes, You are here with me

I have need for nothing more

Oh, now that I have found

That You are here with me

Yes, You are here with me

I confess from time to time

I lose my way

But You are always there

To bring me back again

Sometimes I think of where it is I've come from

And the things I've left behind

But of all I've had, what I possessed

Nothing can quite compare

With what's in front of me

With what's in front of me

Sentence Prayer

Father:

Wash me clean with your snow

As I wonder at the peak remind me you are greater

May your Son shine upon me this day Amen

FIREFLIES

Snippet

Wasn't it easier in your firefly-catchin' days? And everything out of reach, someone bigger brought down to you Wasn't it beautiful runnin' wild 'til you fell asleep? Before the monsters caught up to you?  Taylor Swift ·

Scripture

At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

 He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me. Matthew 18:1-5

Fireflies Owl City

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psuRGfAaju4

You would not believe your eyes

If ten million fireflies

Lit up the world as I fell asleep

'Cause they'd fill the open air

And leave tear drops everywhere

You'd think me rude

But I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs

From ten thousand lightning bugs

As they tried to teach me how to dance

A foxtrot above my head

A sock hop beneath my bed

The disco ball is just hanging by a thread

(Thread, thread...)

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems

(When I fall asleep)

Leave my door open just a crack

(Please take me away from here)

'Cause I feel like such an insomniac

(Please take me away from here)

Why do I tire of counting sheep?

(Please take me away from here)

When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

(Ha-ha)

To ten million fireflies

I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes

I got misty eyes as they said farewell

(Said farewell)

But I'll know where several are

If my dreams get real bizarre

'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

(Jar, jar, jar...)

[2x]

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems

(When I fall asleep)

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

Sentence Prayer

May your day be filled with blessings

Like the sun that lights the sky,

And may you always have the courage

To spread your wings and fly!
