WILD SIDE

Snippet

You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,

Love like you'll never be hurt,

Sing like there's nobody listening,

And live like it's heaven on earth.” 

― William W. Purkey

Scripture

Place me like a seal over your heart,

    

like a seal on your arm;

for love is as strong as death,

    

its jealousy[a] unyielding as the grave.

It burns like blazing fire,

    

like a mighty flame.[b]

Many waters cannot quench love;

    

rivers cannot sweep it away.

If one were to give

    

all the wealth of one’s house for love,

    

it would be utterly scorned. Song of Solomon 8:6,7 NIV

Wild Side

They say be careful and look before you take your first step

Love is so dangerous you don't wanna have regrets

I might be in over my head

You won't leave me for dead, no 

Aye, holding on to every word that You say

Courage comes and goes in waves, but with You I'm 

just always so brave on the wild side

It's dangerous to be in love but I like it on the wild side, 

the wild side’s Dangerous for hearts to touch, but I want 

You to hold mine, there's no denying that I'm

Dangerous with you. I'm so Dangerous with you. You got 

me feelin’ Feelin like I'm runnin from the police how my 

heart stay rush in Light up the dark light up this art you know 

it's me why you askin me questions

I know its Him cause He given me life I know we win 

in the end no surprise

Pen in my hand are you down for the ride it might get 

wild we like that side

Oh we got it so I flaunt it love on repeat like its chronic

Word on the street is we’re toxic Infiltrating other's mindsets

I’m a diamond got me shinin' I’m the branch and You're the 

vine and Loves so fierce got the heart of a lion veils 

been pierced so it's hard to stay silent

(Thanks to CharityFaithMusic for these lyrics)

Sentence Prayer

Jesus;

Help us to love with the passion and purity

You loved us on the cross. Amen

WAVES

Snippet

The waves of the sea roll in on shore twenty-six to the minute in 

all kind of weather. Any explanation besides God?

Scripture

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’?

“Have you ever given orders to the morning,

    

or shown the dawn its place, Job 38:10-12 NIV

Song

Every Breaking Wave U2

http://youtu.be/4Bj3qrMbNig

Every breaking wave on the shore

Tells the next one "there'll be one more"

And every gambler knows that to lose

Is what you're really there for

Summer I was fearless

Now I speak into an answer phone

Like every fallen leaf on the breeze

Winter wouldn't leave it alone, alone

[Chorus:]

If you go...

If you go your way and I go mine

Are we so...

Are we so helpless against the tide?

Baby, every dog on the street

Knows that we're in love with defeat

Are we ready to be swept off our feet

And stop chasing every breaking wave?

Every sailor knows that the sea

Is a friend made enemy

Every shipwrecked soul knows what it is

To live without intimacy

I thought I heard the captain's voice

But it's hard to listen while you preach

Like every broken wave on the shore

This is as far as I could reach

[Chorus]

The sea knows where are the rocks

And drowning is no sin

You know where my heart is

The same place that yours has been

We know that we fear to win

And so we end before we begin

Before we begin

[Chorus] end of lyrics

Sentence Prayer

Lord, sometimes my spirit is so dry I feel like I’m in the middle of 

the Sahara.  Lift my spirits, Father.  Lighten my heart.  Give me 

your joy. Your peace.  Your spirit of praise to overcome the 

heaviness. Help me get out of myself and all the problems that 

are drying my spirit and turn to you in rejoicing.  All my 

happiness is found in knowing you.  Give me the medicine of a 

happy heart.  O Lord.  Amen  (One-minute Prayers for men pg 177)

BROKEN

Snippet

“God uses broken things. It takes broken soil to produce a crop, 

broken clouds to give rain, broken grain to give bread, broken 

bread to give strength. It is the broken alabaster box that gives 

forth perfume. It is Peter, weeping bitterly, who returns to greater 

power than ever.” ― Vance Havner

Scripture

While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of 

the high priest came by. When she saw Peter warming himself, 

she looked closely at him.

“You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus,” she said.

But he denied it. “I don’t know or understand what you’re talking 

about,” he said, and went out into the entryway.[g]

When the servant girl saw him there, she said again to those 

standing around, “This fellow is one of them.” Again he denied it.

After a little while, those standing near said to Peter, “Surely you 

are one of them, for you are a Galilean.”

He began to call down curses, and he swore to them, “I don’t 

know this man you’re talking about.”

Immediately the rooster crowed the second time.Then Peter 

remembered the word Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the 

rooster crows twice you will disown me three times.” And he 

broke down and wept. Mark 14:66-72 NIV

Rhett Walker Band Broken Man

http://youtu.be/sGQerNjaKW0

I’ve done a little living

Things I ain’t proud of

And my best intentions

They all turn to dust

Burned some bridges, learned some lessons

Made me who I am today

Somewhere between a sinner and saint

I get lost, I get found

Lose my way, but I turn around

Hit my knees, lift a prayer

Once again

Ask for mercy, ask for grace

Then I do the best I can

And I thank God he loves a broken man

Got a couple children

And a wife I love

Their eyes are watching

I don’t want mess this up

I’ve come so far from the man that I was

Still I’ve got so far to go

Holding to the one thing that I know

I get lost, I get found

Lose my way, but I turn around

Hit my knees, lift a prayer

Once again

Ask for mercy, ask for grace

Then I do the best I can

And I thank God he loves a broken man

Somehow I’ve seen heaven

Use the hell I raised

To bring me from the ashes

And show me I can change

Oh, even I can change

I get lost, I get found

Lose my way, but I turn around

Hit my knees, lift a prayer

Once again

Ask for mercy, ask for grace

Then I do the best I can

And I thank God he loves a broken man

Sentence Prayer

Father;

Only you can use a bent stick to hit curve balls straight, out of 

the park. Amen

GRACE

Snippet

But O the exceeding grace

Of highest God, that loves his creatures so,

And all his works with mercy doth embrace,

That blessed angels, he sends to and fro,

To serve to wicked man, to serve his wicked foe.

― Edmund Spenser, Faerie Queen Book 1 Ed Bayley

Scripture

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he 

loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us 

together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in 

heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of 

his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of 

yourselves: it is the gift of God:Not of works, lest any man should 

boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto 

good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk 

in them. Ephesians 2:4-10 KJV

There Is Grace -Lara Landon 

http://youtu.be/03ap5QC8vNY

Could it really be this simple? Well you know how hard I try

to measure up to what I think Your wanting.  

Earn the right to be the apple of Your eye. 

Chorus

The truth is there is nothing I could do 

to make you love me more 

Nothing I could do to make you love me less

It always has been and always will be about the love

You lavish on me

Though underserving and bringing nothing 

How sweet to find that there is grace

Teach me how to rest here in Your presence.

For more than a moment or two

Let Your grace become a revelation

so that every step I take is in 

Chorus

this truth is there is nothing I could do 

to make you love me more 

Nothing I could do to make you love me less

It always has been and always will be about the love

You lavish on me

Though underserving and bringing nothing 

How sweet to find that there is grace

Nothing I could do to make you love me less

It always has been and always will be about the love

You lavish on me Though underserving and bringing nothing 

How sweet to find that there is grace

Though underserving and bringing nothing 

How sweet to find that there is grace

Nothing I could do to make you love me less

It always has been and always will be about the love

You lavish on me Though underserving and bringing nothing 

How sweet to find that there is grace

Sentence Prayer

Dear God 

Please take away my pain and despair of yesterday and any 

unpleasant memories and replace them with Your glorious 

promise of new hope. Show me a fresh Holy Spirit -inspired way 

of relating to negative things that have happened. I ask You for 

the mind of Christ so I can discern Your voice from the voice of 

my past. I pray that former rejection and deep hurts will not 

color what I see and hear now.

Help me to see all the choices I have ahead of me that can alter 

the direction of my life. I ask You to empower me to let go of the 

painful events and heartaches that would keep me bound. Thank 

You for Your forgiveness that You have offered to me at such a 

great price. Pour it into my heart so I can relinquish bitterness 

hurts and disappointments that have no place in my life. Please 

set me free to forgive those who have sinned against me and 

caused me pain and also myself. Open my heart to receive Your 

complete forgiveness and amazing grace. You have promised to 

bind up my wounds Psa 147:3 and restore my soul Psa 23:3 .

Help me to relinquish my past surrender to You my present and 

move to the future You have prepared for me. I ask You to come 

into my heart and make me who You would have me to be so that 

I might do Your will here on earth. I thank You Lord for all that’s 

happened in my past and for all I have become through those 

experiences. I pray You will begin to gloriously renew my 

present.” 

― Sue Augustine, When Your Past Is Hurting Your Present

BRAG

Snippet

I can’t Brag about my love for God because I fail him daily.

But I can brag about His love for me because it never fails.

Scripture

This is what the Lord says:

“Let not the wise boast of their wisdom

    or the strong boast of their strength

    or the rich boast of their riches,

but let the one who boasts boast about this:

    that they have the understanding to know me,

that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness,

    justice and righteousness on earth,

    for in these I delight,”

declares the Lord. Jeremiah 9:23,224 NIV

Shweet-Trip Lee

[Hook - Trip Lee]

Hands in the air
Make a little noise in the stands if you there

Brag on the God man if you there

Only if you there

That'd be shweet

What if when we brag

It wasn't about the clothes with the tags
That'd be shweet

What if when you brag

It's about Him who's the first and the last

That'd be shweet

[Verse 1 - Trip Lee]

Heard 'em talking like it's hot man

Somebody got it gassed up on that octane

Look I hate to tell 'em they ain't better

Better get an umbrella - God reign

Let's go back in time the late 80's

D - Town homie down that's they made me

When I'm backed up I ain't vacay

Feels like I'm home

Thinkin' 'bout staying (I ain't stayin' though)

Already already

Lone Star State bred how can I forget it

But I ain't clappin' 'bout the blue

It's fly how You knit me, I ain't talkin' bout the shoes (shoe)

I got a lot of problems but I'm straight (that's shweet)

I know my God will toss 'em in the lake (that's shweet)

How many times I gotta tell ya He the boss
Under Him anything a piece of cake

[Hook - Trip Lee]

Somebody got it gassed up on that octane

Look I hate to tell 'em they ain't better

Better get an umbrella God reign

Perfecting these songs that I spit here

Never sense 2010 being clear

Everybody talking 'bout how you gotta live here 

(I think they got me now)

Already already

Lone Star State bred how can I forget it

Middle School we was bumping Swishahouse

Had a freestyle sounding like them Swishahouse flows

Saying, man hold up, everybody came down, trunk popped, grippin grain baby stay down’

Already, wasn’t talking bout nothin but a pipe dream

Like ‘man, my wrist froze like ice cream

But He opened up my eyes bruh (shweet)
All my people was surprised bruh (shweet)

Cause I used to rap 'bout cash that I never had 

then I came alive bruh
