LOVE

Snippet

“The best use of life is love. The best expression of love is time. 

The best time to love is now.” ― Rick Warren 

Scripture

“Do not owe anyone anything, except to love one another, for the 

one who loves another has fulfilled the law. 9 The 

commandments:

Do not commit adultery;

do not murder;

do not steal; 

do not covet;

and whatever other commandment — all are summed up by this: 

Love your neighbor as yourself.

10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor. Love, therefore, is the 

fulfillment of the law.” Romans 13:8-10 HSB

Love Never Fails - Brandon Heath

http://youtu.be/8nQy-aP_Koo

Love is not proud

Love does not boast

Love after all

Matters the most

Love does not run

Love does not hide

Love does not keep

Locked inside

Love is the river that flows through

Love never fails you

Love will sustain

Love will provide

Love will not cease

At the end of time

Love will protect

Love always hopes

Love still believes

When you don't

Love is the arms that are holding you

Love never fails you

When my heart won't make a sound

When I can't turn back around

When the sky is falling down

Nothing is greater than this

Greater than this

Love is right here

Love is alive

Love is the way

The truth the life

Love is the river than flows through

Love is the arms that are holding you

Love is the place you will fly to

Love never fails you

Sentence Prayer

Father; love is always the right response.  You are love.  Your Son 

Jesus demonstrated love in His life.  Your Spirit teaches us love.  

May I be sensitive to your leading to love this day and every day.  

Amen

DARKNESS

Snippet

“Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more 

common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to 

conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say “My 

tooth is aching” than to say “My heart is broken.” 

― C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain

Scripture

Who among you fears the Lord and obeys the voice of his 

servant? Let him who walks in darkness and has no light trust in 

the name of the Lord and rely on his God. Isaiah 50:10

Sentence Prayer

Dear Jesus, I walk in the valley of darkness for I suffer from 

depression. I feel unloved. rejected, useless to myself and 

useless to others. I feel lost in a world I no longer understand. At 

times, I want to sleep and never wake up again. Lord, I believe 

that Your love is a transforming love. Jesus, Son of David have 

pity on me. Out of the depths, I cry to you. 

Lord, even though 1 feel nothing, I still praise you for the wonder 

of my being. You have formed me in my mother's womb and 

watched over me to this moment. I am precious in Your eyes and 

You love me. On the Cross, you shed your blood for me. You have 

carved me in the palm of Your hand. For all this I give you thanks 

and praise. 

May your Precious Blood give new life to me and to all those who 

suffer as I do. Take each one of us and hug us to your sacred and 

loving heart. Through your glorious wounds may we be healed.

Dear Jesus, when you fed the crowd in the desert, you wished to 

gather up the fragments, lest anything be lost. As I wander 

through a desert and darkness of my own, I ask you to gather up 

the fragments of this shattered being, lest anything be lost. 

Through the prophet, Joel, Yo promised to restore the years that 

the locusts have eaten. I ask you, lay Your hands gently on my 

weary head and restore me. Let your face shine upon me and 

give me back the peace and the joy that has been lost. 

Amen

Verse 1

Your light has brightened all the darkness in me

My eyes are open to see

Your love, Oh God, Your love for me

I once was running from your love and mercy

Then I found the place I belong

with you I know I ‘m not alone

(Chorus)

I know I was a sinner in need of a new start

The waters of my river ran dry on my own

I know the road is long, when all is lost, you light my way

My debt is paid in Jesus Name

Verse 2

These hands have labored for the sin within me.

Your hands were nailed to a tree

Your blood has set this captive free.

Verse 3 

Your light has brightened all darkness in us.

Our eyes are open to see.

Your love, Oh God has set us free.

Sentence Prayer

Jesus; your are the one who was slain but is now the living light 

of the world.  Shine so brightly in my heart it dispels all of my 

darkness.  May this light spill into a dark world to light your way 

for the lost to find.  Amen

By my side, thick and thin

Highs and lows, don't let go

We gone ride, we gone win

Don't know how, all I know

(All I need is you)

Keep me in my timezone when my mind's gone

When I'm flyin' home

And I'm stressed out and I'm tempted to get that styrofoam

And go pour it up, but you know what's up

And you know that ain't gone solve nothin'

I mean Lord forbid I might fall or somethin'

And I'm all or nothin' cause (all I need is you)

To hold me down like bed straps to the psych ward

It's killing me but you still with me when I fight hard

And (all I need is you)

You digging me when I'm igging you

Get with me when my cars pulled

Coulda dealt with me but you fell for me 'for I fell for you

To keep me on that right path and the right math

Cause you plus nothin' is everything

You my everything, saying

(All I need is)

You, ain't gotta question my allegiance

Cause the way you love me I could never leave ya, I need ya

(All I need is you)

By my side, thick and thin

Highs and lows, don't let go

Don't know how, all I know

You, you're all I ever needed

You're all I ever needed

You, you're all I ever needed

How did I fall in this?

No condition that get a mention but you offered this

Unconditional love, I swear I sell it all for this

I'm tryna keep it together, forgive my awkwardness

But umm, often this issue in me often is

Valley of shadows and I know they trying to pick me off in this

But all I need is you

It's funny just how off I get when I ain't ridin' with you

No adjectives for you awesomeness

They burning one for that burn out

This life in God, I'm all turnt out

Took time out to put time in so I turn to you when I'm worn out

All I need is you

You slow me down cause you know me now with my phony smile

And I'm acting like it's all copacetic

It's so pathetic, so juvenile

Know what you do

You keep me cool in the summer

When they be dressin' less and I be wantin' to show off and stunt

There ain't nothin' to want, you give me all that I need

All I need is you to keep that fire burnin' for me

All I need is you

(All I need is you)

By my side, thick and thin

Highs and lows, don't let go

We gone ride, we gone win

Don't know how, all I know

(All I need is you)

You, you're all I ever needed

You're all I ever needed

You, you're all I ever needed

You're all I ever needed

Ain't nobody gone get in the way

Put that on my money in the bank

Cause you do what your mothers can't

And I love that, yea

We gone ride till the rims fall off

Above it all, we can never fall, yea

Hold my hand, we can have it all

Hold my hand, we can have it all

(All I need is you)

By my side, thick and thin

Highs and lows, don't let go

We gone ride, we gone win

Don't know how, all I know

You, you're all I ever needed

You're all I ever needed

You, you're all I ever needed

You're all I ever needed

You always pick me up when I'm feelin' down

You always make it better for me some how

All I need is you, cause all I need is you

(All I need is you)

Jesus

You are more than enough, may I seek you Amen

FORGIVENESS

Snippet

“The Only good thing about evil,” goes the Buddhist saying, “is it 

can be purified.”  In Buddhism, forgiveness does not mean 

absolution, but an opportunity for the inner transformation of 

both victim and perpetrator. “ Matthieu Ricard The Sunflower on 

the possibilities and limits of forgiveness Simon Wiesentrhal pg 

235

Scripture

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will 

also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, 

neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Matthew West Forgiveness

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMn0QNdiuGE

It’s the hardest thing to give away

And the last thing on your mind today

It always goes to those that don’t deserve

It’s the opposite of how you feel

When the pain they caused is just to real

It takes everything you have just to say the word…

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

It flies in the face of all your pride

It moves away the mad inside

It’s always anger’s own worst enemy

Even when the jury and the judge

Say you gotta right to hold a grudge

It’s the whisper in your ear saying ‘Set It Free’

Forgiveness, Forgiveness

Forgiveness, Forgiveness

Show me how to love the unlovable

Show me how to reach the unreachable

Help me now to do the impossible

Forgiveness, Forgiveness

Help me now to do the impossible

Forgiveness

It’ll clear the bitterness away

It can even set a prisoner free

There is no end to what it’s power can do

So, let it go and be amazed

By what you see through eyes of grace

The prisoner that it really frees is you

Forgiveness, Forgiveness

Forgiveness, Forgiveness

Show me how to love the unlovable

Show me how to reach the unreachable

Help me now to do the impossible

Forgiveness

I want to finally set it free

So show me how to see what Your mercy sees

Help me now to give what You gave to me

Forgiveness, Forgiveness

Sentence Prayer

Dear God, thank You for sending Jesus to pay for all my sins once 

and for all.  To wipe out my debts.  I don’t understand it all but 

I’m grateful.  Because You’ve forgiven me I want to do the right 

thing.  Today I’m choosing to let go of the pain and the hurt that 

I’ve received from others.  I forgive …, and you fill in the blank 

there and name the person.  I forgive that person.  I’m letting go 

of my right to get even.  I’m choosing to overcome evil with good 

and I commit to continue forgiving them until I no longer feel the 

pain or the desire to get even and seek  revenge.  Jesus Christ, 

please replace my hurt with Your peace and please fill my life with 

Your love.  I accept my responsibility now to share the good news 

of forgiveness, the message of peace with others.  Amen.

Dangerous Group 1 Crew

We on fire.

Danger!

We've been called, don't hang up.

The devil mad... anger.

But we don't talk to him, he a stranger.

So we walk it instead of talk it cause He said so.

Ain't no need for waiting, no debating...

Baby let's go!

Pedal to the floor, gassed up...

Homey petro!

Tell about the blood that they drew when He bled so.

Lived a life so wreck less,

I don't know how I made it through.

Always taking chances and trying everything but You.

So why am I playing it safe when it

Comes to giving You my life (I don't know)

I can't let fear hold me back from

Doing what I know is right.

I felt Your spirit show me things

That I would never believe

Could ever happen in the time in my life.

And even though it scares me just to think

That You've chosen me, I promise I won't

Put up a fight no.

I want to live dangerous.

Risk it all for You, Lord.

I need You to wake me up from

The life I've known before.

Whatever it takes, I want You to make,

Make me more like You.

There's nothing I won't give up.

I want to live dangerous (oh! woah! oh! oh!)

I want to live dangerous (oh! woah! oh! oh!)

I know You've been waiting for me

To give You all I am.

To be a light in the dark,

Strong enough to take a stand.

I don't want to box You in or

Keep You hidden anymore...

Cause You're the only One worth

Giving my life for.

I want to live dangerous.

Risk it all for You, Lord.

I need You to wake me up from

The life I've known before.

Whatever it takes, I want You to make,

Make me more like You.

There's nothing I won't give up.

I want to live dangerous (oh! woah! oh! oh!)

I want to live dangerous (oh! woah! oh! oh!)

I get dangerous

But it don't matter, that ain't a thing to us.

We either live for Him or live for us.

And the fact is we don't really (really) know

When the end will come (end will come).

So until then I'll be a monster.

No more playing games... contra.

Wake me up to a morning glorious

To a God I know I trust to

Bring me through the dangerous.

I want to live dangerous.

Risk it all for You, Lord.

I need You to wake me up from

The life I've known before.

Whatever it takes, I want You to make,

Make me more like You.

There's nothing I won't give up.

I want to live dangerous (oh! woah! oh! oh!)

I want to live dangerous (oh! woah! oh! oh!)

I want to live (Group 1 Crew!)

Sentence Prayer

Let nothing disturb thee,

nothing affright thee;

Ghost Ship "The Revelation Of 

Jesus Christ”

http://youtu.be/FM5He9zI6oY

I saw a new heaven and a new earth

For the first had passed away

I saw a new city, Jerusalem

A bride on her wedding day

I heard a loud voice from the throne saying

"Look at the dwelling place of God."

He will dwell with them 

They will be His people,

And He will be their God.

Wipe away every tear from our eyes

Death will be no more

He who is seated on the throne

Said "I am making all things new"

He said "It is finished .

Hear these words

They are trustworthy and true"

He is the Alpha and the Omega

The beginning and the end

And to the thirsty He will give water

From a river with no end.

Wipe away every tear from our eyes

Death will be no more

Wipe away every tear from our eyes

Death will be no more

All this mourning

All this crying

All this death we've seen

All these broken things

Will end 

All our pain

All this death we've seen

All the former things

Will end

Wipe away every tear from our eyes

Death will be no more

Wipe away every tear from our eyes

Death will be no more

I saw no temple in this new city

Its temple is Jesus Christ our Lord

In this bright city

There's no need for sun

Only the glory of our God.

Sentence Prayer

Jesus come quickly to bring your bride home.  While we are waiting for you purify you bride.  Amen
