"Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)"
Chris Tomlin

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy rains
Unending love, Amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

[2x]
My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy rains
Unending love, Amazing grace

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine 


ANYTHING THAT COSTS ME NOTHING
Bobby Michaels
I cannot come before my righteous Holy Lord

And offer to Him worldly things I do not need

And hope He's pleased

For He wants me to give, a heart that's truly His

An offering of the highest price

A servant whom, the Lord can use

I'II will not offer anything that costs me nothing

I'll place before Him nothing less than my very best

And if I'm called to sacrifice

It will be worthy of my Christ

I will not offer anything that costs me nothing

To serve Him is my goal, how could I withhold

Whatever's mine He's given me, it's not my own

It's His alone

Whatever He requires, it is my desire

Whatever He may need from me,

I'll pay the cost, gain or loss

I will not offer anything that costs me nothing

I'll place before Him nothing less than my very best

And if I'm called to sacrifice

It will be worthy of my Christ

I will not offer anything that costs me nothing


In Christ Alone

In Christ alone, my hope is found

He is my light, my strength, my song

This cornerstone, this solid ground

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease

My comforter, my all-in-all

Here in the love of Christ I stand


There in the ground His body lay


Light of the world by darkness slain


Then bursting forth in glorious day


Up from the grave He rose again

And as He stands in victory


Sin's curse has lost its grip on me


For I am His and He is mine


Bought with the precious blood of Christ



No guilt in life, no fear in death


This is the power of Christ in me


From life's first cry to final breath


Jesus commands my destiny


No power of hell, no scheme of man


Can ever pluck me from His hand


Till He returns or calls me home


Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

Till He returns or calls me home


Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand




WHEN GOD RAN
Almighty God, the great I am 

Immovable rock, omnipotent, powerful, awesome Lord 

Victorious warrior, commanding King of Kings 

Mighty conqueror, and the only time

the only time I ever saw Him run

CHORUS: 

Was when He ran to me, He took me in His arms 

Held my head to His chest, said “My son’s come home again” 

Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes 

With forgiveness in His voice He said,

“Son do you know I still love you?” 
He caught me by surprise when God ran

The day I left home I knew I’d broken His heart 

And I wondered then if things could ever be the same 

Then one night I remembered His love for me 

And down that dusty road ahead I could see 

It was the only time – it was the only time I ever saw Him run

And then He ran to me, He took me in His arms 

Held my head to His chest, said “My son’s come home again” 

Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes 

With forgiveness in His voice He said,

“Son do you know I still love you?” 

He caught me by surprise as He brought me to my knees 
When God ran – I saw Him run to me

BRIDGE: 

I was so ashamed, all alone and so far away 

But now I know He’s been waiting for this day

I saw Him run to me, He took me in His arms 

Held my head to His chest, said “My son’s come home again” 

Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes 

With forgiveness in His voice I felt His love for me again

He ran to me, He took me in His arms 

Held my head to His chest, said “My son’s come home again” 

Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes 

With forgiveness in His voice He said, “Son”, He called me Son 

He said, “Son do you know I still love you?” 

He ran to me and then I ran to Him 
When God ran





GOD and GOD ALONE
Steve Green


God and God alone created all these things we call our own

From the mighty to the small the Glory in them all is God's and God's alone 



Chorus:

God and God alone is fit to take the universe's throne

Let everything that lives reserve it's truest praise for God and God alone 



God and God alone reveals the truth of all we call unknown

and the best and worst of man wont change the Master's plan it's God's and God's alone



God and God alone will be the joy of our eternal home

He will be our one desire Our hearts will never tire of God's and God's alone




ABOVE ALLMichael W. Smith
Above all powers, above all kingsAbove all nature and all created thingsAbove all wisdom and all the ways of manYou were here, before the world began

Above all kingdoms, above all thronesAbove all wonders the world has ever knownAbove all wealth and treasures of the earthThere's no way to measure what you're worth

Crucified, laid behind a stoneYou lived to die, rejected and aloneLike a rose, trampled on the groundYou took the fall and thought of meAbove all

Above all powersAbove all powers, above all kingsAbove all nature and all created thingsAbove all wisdom and all the ways of manYou were here, before the world began

Above all kingdoms, above all thronesAbove all wonders the world has ever knownAbove all wealth and treasures of the earthThere's no way to measure what you're worth

Crucified, laid behind a stoneYou lived to die, rejected and aloneLike a rose, trampled on the groundYou took the fall and thought of meAbove all

Crucified, laid behind a stoneYou lived to die, rejected and aloneLike a rose, trampled on the groundYou took the fall and thought of meAbove all

Like a rose, trampled on the groundYou took the fall and thought of me


Whom Shall I Fear (God of Angel Armies) by Chris Tomlin


I pledge Allegiance to the Lamb


The Anchor Holds

Watch the Lamb

This Beast Called Rage

Blow one’s top Go berserk Let off steam Mad as a wet hen A bull in rampage These are the idoms in my writer’s tickler that fall under my scribbles on anger. Alongside are words evocative of the same meaning – rage, indignation, wrath, ire, fury. For the past weeks, I have been brooding over this negative emotion that has caused many an earthling to make brash decisions and actions that have damaging consequences. It has also caused needless grief and heartache. I have encountered people who often display this emotion – at school, at work, at home, in the grocery store, in the parking lot, in the restaurant—practically anywhere. I have also observed that its display is not confined to a particular class or age group. When piqued, kids fight back. When scolded, teens lash acerbic words. When bored or ignored, wives nag. Fathers spank. Bosses shout. Employees backbite. Soldiers shoot. Still, others kill. Where did this ticking time bomb of emotion originate? Why do we experie...

What Does It Take to be a Teacher?

Image
“You are a great teacher, Mommy.” That’s my five-year-old praising me matter-of-factly after I showed him how to brush his teeth properly. I was caught off-guard with his reaction to my three-minute demonstration. It was exhilarating-- almost like winning the jackpot of the one-hundred-million Lotto draw. Whew, I did nothing much to earn that commendation, but as we are often told, kids tell no tales-- especially if such kids happen to be “jailed” in a 67-square meter condo listening to and watching Hillsong kids’ live worship concert on DVD day in and day out. But such innocent quip has started to bug me to no end. It has become a cuckoo in my nest—it made me pause and think hard enough on what being a teacher is all about. Eversince I took to heart my role as a homeschooling Mom, I made every imaginable effort to be the best home teacher I can be. I read books on homeschooling lent to me by a friend in church who also homeschools her kids. I surfed the net, downloaded volumino...

Remembering a Lovely Acquaintance

I was surfing the net, looking for a much-admired acquaintance back in highschool when I came across a   blog about her, apparently made by her brother.   T'was   titled, "Remembering My Sister."   My heart skipped. Oh, wait, this was some sort of a eulogy. I could see a photo of a long-haired lady smiling faintly. I zoomed it out. Surely, it couldn't be her? The lady in photo, sans any make-up, is a beauty. Seated infront of a keyboard, she sports a sweet, albeit shy smile. Dark-haired and fair-skinned, she is a picture of life. Those eyes... they seem to penetrate as I look at her. Though there are faint circles underneath those eyes, they do not in any way mar her loveliness. Thoughts swirled in my mind. The gal I knew was a beauty. And fair-skinned. And had long flowing mane like hers. I scrolled the blog and there before me was a pre-teen photo of the same gal with the exact facial features of the teener I knew then. The year was 1988. It was the thir...
