SUNNY DAYS

Snippet
Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.  Walt Whitman
Scripture
The day is yours, and yours also the night;you established the sun and moon.  It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth; you made both summer and winter. Psalms 74:16,17 NIV
Song
Sunny Days Tammy Trent
http://www.tammytrent.com/index.php/music

Top down
Embracing the blue skies
Don’t know how long it’s been
No clouds a sight for these sore eyes
Just want to soak it all in

The gifts you give
Very life that I live
You are my reason
I’ll give you praise
Through the pain
All my days
In every season

But I’m grateful the storm is at an end

Chorus:
And I love sunny days
Feel the warmth of the rays
Shining down on my face
Yeah I love sunny days
Got my heart in your hands
And my toes in the sand
And I love sunny days
Gonna put on my shades
Sing a song of amazing grace
You’re bringing sunny days
Sunny days

Breath in
Unwrapping the moment
Still feel the wind in my hair
Don’t need to know where we’re going
As long as you will be there

The weatherman said we can
Make a plan and head for the shoreline
Take a break, catch a wave, celebrate
We’ll have a good time

Yeah I’m grateful the storm is at an end

Chorus (repeat)

Bridge:
Favorite song’s on the radio
And it makes me think of You
How you never let me go
Always carried me through Til I see sunny days

TT’s breakin’ it down!!
Believin’ there is more to me more see I wanna be
The kinda girl who never stops never drops
Even when the seasons got hard to feel something real
He tried to steal but God came in and made it right
See the light I can never stop the fight
Rain rain go away I have faith that you won’t stay
Something new is on the way Welcome to my Sunny Days

Chrous (repeat)
Sentence Prayer
Father;
This is the day you have made let us rejoice and 

be glad in it. Amen

START OVER

Snippet
If Jesus didn't come here to save us from our sins, what did he 
come for? I don't believe that he came to give us cars and 
Cadillacs and big houses and rings and diamonds and 
gold and silver. TD Jakes
Scripture
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the 
truth is not in us.  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to 
forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If 
we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word 
is not in us. 1 John 1:8-10 KJV
Song  
START OVER 
FLAME FEATURING NF
Everybody’s got a blank page
A story they’re writing today
A wall that they’re climbing
You can carry the past on your shoulders
Or you can start over
Regrets, no matter what you've gone through
Jesus, He gave it all to save you
He carried the cross on His shoulders
So you can start over
Don’t let your heart be troubled
Don’t be afraid
To the broken-hearted that wished that they’d
Never been born, never been torn, never sinned, never disobeyed
I know you think there’s no hope, but that ain’t true, Jesus saves!
I know you feelin’ regret
(Like I) brought this all on myself
(Like I) messed it up big time, and this time I don’t deserve God’s 
help
(Thinking) how can God forgive me after knowin’ what I did (can 
He?)
After knowin’ that I hid from Him, and I stayed away and backslid 
(listen)
Jesus came for the sick (so true)
Jesus came for the weak (amen)
Jesus came to give good news and have set the captives free 
(amen)
Jesus came for the poor (amen)
Jesus came with the keys (amen)
Jesus came to remove the chains so the prisoners are released 
(amen)
Everybody’s got a blank page
A story they’re writing today
A wall that they’re climbing
You can carry the past on your shoulders
Or you can start over
Regrets, no matter what you've gone through
Jesus, He gave it all to save you
He carried the cross on His shoulders
So you can start over
See, His love is deeper than the ocean floor
Run to His arms like an open door
God the Father sent the Son
So men can come and be free and ain’t gotta run no more (that's 
what He said)
Come to me, all who are weary; with heavy burdens, I’ll give you 
rest
Separated you from your sin, as far as the east is from the west 
(He said)
Thrown in the sea of forgetfulness
What sin? What offense?
And when them waves come crashing in, I’ll calm the winds in 
your defense (that's what He said)
So, whatever it is that you’ve done
He put that punishment on His Son
You’ll never come under His condemnation conquer sin and 
Satan, and his accusations
So, dry your eyes, lift up your head
Hallelujah! God is not dead!
Plus He gave us His peace, and He took our guilt on the cross 
instead
Took our place and now we embrace
A clean slate with the eyes of faith
We know unfailing love, unfailing love, it’s not too late, start over
Everybody’s got a blank page
A story they’re writing today
A wall that they’re climbing
You can carry the past on your shoulders
Or you can start over
Regrets, no matter what you gone through
Jesus, He gave it all to save you
He carried the cross on His shoulders
So you can start over
Sentence Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for coming and getting me when I 
was lost in sin. And even though there was consequences to my 
sin, You sent Your Son to take the punishment for my sin. Holy 
Spirit help me come to my senses and return to God’s grace, and 

start over.  Amen

GO

Snippet
A true faith in Jesus Christ will not suffer us to be idle. No, it is an active, lively, restless principle; it fills the heart, so that it cannot be easy till it is doing something for Jesus Christ. George Whitfield

Scripture
And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15 NIV

Ready Set Go 
Royal Tailor
Lived so long with my eyes on me
Too deaf to hear, too blind to see
Oh, broken hearts on the city streets but
I can hear that you’re calling me to
Be the hope, be the light, be the love
Right now, starting right now
Oh, you put my life in motion
Your love makes me want to give my all
Ready set go
Ready set go oh
So no, I’m not holding back anymore
Like an engine ready to explode
I’m ready set go
Ready set go oh, oh
Can’t stop this clock is counting down, go down
So many lost waiting to be found, oh yeah
I would go where you’re leading me, God
Reach my hands to the least of these
I'll be the hope, be the light, be the love
Right now, starting right now
Oh, you put my life in motion
Your love makes me want to give my all
Ready set go
Ready set go oh
So no, I’m not holding back anymore
Like an engine ready to explode
I’m ready set go
Ready set go oh, oh
Give me the green light
Show me the finish line
No more spinning in circles
No more wasting time
So let it start today, where I flip the switch say
You're my light, I won't fight, I'll go wherever you say
To the top of the highest mountain
To the bottom of every valley
I'll be the spark that turns into the grand finale
This love is something everyone needs to know
Hearts are callin', no more stalling, it's just
Ready set go
Broken hearts on the city streets but
I can hear that you’re calling me to
Be the hope, be the light, be the love
Right now, starting right now
Oh, you put my life in motion
Your love makes me want to give my all
Ready set go
Ready set go oh

Like an engine ready to explode
I’m ready set go
Ready set go oh, oh
Sentence Prayer
Jesus,
May we go and share the good news

You.  Amen

NEVER

Snippet
We’re too Christian to enjoy sin and sinful to enjoy Christ. We’ve got enough Jesus to be informed, but not enough to be transformed. Mark Batterson All In Zondervan Grand Rapids MI PG 25
Scripture
But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs the he might not defile himself. Daniel 1:8 NKJV

NEVER LOOKING BACK
http://youtu.be/Eei9SV472Wo
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

Tonight I’m done pretending I know some things have got to change
I’m tired of feeling nothing knowing I’m the one to blame

Tonight tonight I hate the way my life has been
Tonight tonight I hear you call my name again

Never look never looking back I’m starting over
Never re live your regrets I’m moving forward
It’s my life it’s my time this world’s got nothing on me
It’s my life it’s my time I’m writing my own ending
Never looking back
My life is all but perfect sometimes I just can’t get it right
I wonder if it’s worth it when I’ve wasted so much time

Tonight tonight I hate the way my life has been
Tonight tonight I hear you call my name again

Tonight tonight I hate the way my life has been
Tonight tonight I hear you call my name again

Never look never looking back I’m starting over
Never re live your regrets I’m moving forward
It’s my life it’s my time this world’s got nothing on me
It’s my life it’s my time I’m writing my own ending
Never looking back

Whoa whoa whoa whoa

I take the second chance and run
One more time I’m moving on

Whoa whoa whoa whoa

And hope will be our guide tonight
Love will make us come alive

Never look never looking back I’m starting over
Never re live your regrets I’m moving forward
It’s my life it’s my time this world’s got nothing on me
It’s my life it’s my time I’m writing my own ending
Never looking back
Never looking back

I’m starting over I’m moving forward
I’m starting over I’m moving forward
Never looking back
Sentence Prayer
Father
so often in life you can not go back
you can only make it right by going forward.

Give me the strength to move forward.  Amen  R.M.

MY LIFE

Snippet
We, the unclean, are not just washed; we are in the Holy One forever. We, the rebellious, are not just pardoned; we are in the King forever. We, the sad, are not just encouraged; we are in the Blessed One forever. We, the defeated, are not just empowered; we are in the Victor forever. We, the confused, are not just instructed; we are in the Sage forever. This is radical reconciliation, full provision, an astounding advantage. This is how the Jesus who lived 2000 years ago becomes our living Friend and Power today - union with Christ. God announces to us that He has relocated us in His universe of grace. We are no longer outside Christ, and now not just before Christ or near Christ or beneath Christ, but in Christ. Let’s inhale deeply from this new environment.  Lewis Smedes, Union with Christ, Eerdmans, www.eerdmans, 1970, p. xi.
Scripture
To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Colossians 1:27 NIV

Ooh Aah, Ooh Aah (yeah), Ooh Ooh
Ooh Aah (yeah), Ooh Ooh
My life be like (yeah)
Ooh Aah, Ooh Aah (yeah), Ooh Ooh
My life be like (yeah)
[Chorus: over hook]
It's times like these that make me say
Lord if you see me please come my way
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray
Rely on sacrifice and the price you paid
Feel me like a fingertip (fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip)
Sometimes I fall I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like you
Tryin' not to quench your fire with the things I do
[Verse One: Coffee]
I'm on an island by my lonesome stranded
Low key and stayin' candid
Reflect on all the things I try my hand at
Church for the equations to persuasions I'm used to
Finding comfort in the zones of closet bones I get loose to
A mountainous fontaine
Spinnin' and monsoonin', grinnin' it's hign octane
Explosive how I came
Rollin' down hills cause lifes a hassle
Encircled by my folly like a moat surround a castle
Stay afloat, catch a second wind
Thin
Is the air I breathe
Teary eyed nose runnin' wipe the snot on my sleeve
I'm callin' on the Savior to be all that I need
Please forgive me my behavior had me lost at light speed
[Chorus: over hook]
It's times like these that make me say
Lord if you see me please come my way
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray
Rely on sacrifice and the price you paid
Feel me like a fingertip (fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip)
Sometimes I fall I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like you
Tryin' not to quench your fire with the things I do
[Verse Two: Bonifide]
The fear of never fallin' in love
And the tears after losin' the feelings of what you thought love was
Like the dirt still up under the rug (My life be like)
Bad characteristics covered in Christs blood
The joy of new birth and the pain of growin' up
The bliss between givin' my all and givin' up
The highs and lows
Paths and roads I chose
In the cold I froze
Tryin' to ease my woes
In this world of sin
Clothes to thin to fend
So to God I send
Words of help to win
In grumblings so deep letters could never express
So the sound of Ooh Aah beneath my breath projects
[Chorus: over hook]
It's times like these that make me say
Lord if you see me please come my way
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray
Rely on sacrifice and the price you paid
Feel me like a fingertip (fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip)
Sometimes I fall I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like you
Tryin' not to quench your fire with the things I do
(Don't be bad)
[Verse Three: TobyMac]
My life be like
Ooh Aah Ooh
Dum dum ditty
Here come that boy from the Capital City
Last up on the Grits new ditty
But eight bars or the truth well do (uh)
I believe theres a private stunnin
And I believe in the Kindgom Coming
I believe if you seek the truth
You don't need to look far cause it's gonna find you
So why oh why do I trip and stumble?
And ooh aah as commitment crumbles?
I can't believe that I'm here again....
[Chorus: over hook]
It's times like these that make me say
Lord if you see me please come my way
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray
Rely on sacrifice and the price you paid
Feel me like a fingertip (fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip)
Sometimes I fall I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like you
Tryin' not to quench your fire with the things I do
It's times like these that make me say
Lord if you see me please come my way
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray
Rely on sacrifice and the price you paid
Feel me like a fingertip (fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip)
Sometimes I fall I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like you
Tryin' not to quench your fire with the things I do
Fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip
Fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip
My life be like
Fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip
Fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip
Ma-ma-my life be like
Fa-finger tip, fa-finger tip

DO MORE THAN SING!

Snippet
Where there is unity there is always victory Publilius Syrus

Scripture
I’m praying not only for them
But also for those who will believe in me
Because of them and their witness about me.
The goal is for all of them to become one heart and mind—
Just as you, Father, are in me and I in you,
So they might be one heart and mind with us.
Then the world might believe that you, in fact, sent me.
The same glory you gave me, I gave them,
So they’ll be as unified and together as we are—
I in them and you in me. John 17:20-23 MSG

Tear down walls we've built in vain

FIX MY EYES

Snippet
If you cannot bear with your imperfect brother, take it for certain that you are very imperfect yourself... [and] being so imperfect we ought not to condemn. Remember also that if we are not patient and forbearing there is clear proof that we are more imperfect than we thought we were. Those who grow in grace grow in forbearance. He is but a mere babe in grace who is evermore saying, “I cannot put up with such conduct from my brother.”  C.H. SpurgeonThe Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, volume 16, sermon number 941, “The tender pity of the Lord.”
Scripture
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.  Matthew 7:1-5

Stand face to face with the younger me
All of the mistakes
All of the heartbreak
Here's what I'd do differently
I'd love like I'm not scared
Give when it's not fair
Live life for another
Take time for a brother
Fight for the weak ones
Speak out for freedom
Find faith in the battle
Stand tall but above it all
Fix my eyes on you
I learned the lines and talked the talk (everybody 
knows that, everybody knows that)
But the road less traveled is hard to walk (everybody 
knows that, everybody knows)
It takes a soldier
Who knows his orders
To walk the walk I'm supposed to walk
And love like I'm not scared
Give when it's not fair
Live life for another
Take time for a brother
Fight for the weak ones
Speak out for freedom
Find faith in the battle
Stand tall but above it all
Fix my eyes on you
The things of Earth are dimming
In the light of Your glory and grace
I'll set my sights upon Heaven
I'm fixing my eyes on you
I'm fixing my eyes on you
I'm fixing my eyes
Love like I'm not scared
Give when it's not fair
Live life for another
Take time for a brother
Fight for the weak ones
Speak out for freedom
Find faith in the battle
Stand tall but above it all
Fix my eyes on you
I fix my eyes on you
I fix my eyes on you

Sentence Prayer
Father, Holy and perfect have mercy on one who is 
unholy and imperfect.
Christ, have mercy on all of us, sinners in need 
of a savior.
Holy Spirit, give me a glimmer of the dawn in 
my darkness
As I hold up a mirror to my own sin, my I 
forgive others
As Christ has forgiven me.

Amen R.M.
