That He May Become Greater
I really wish I could sing. I mean really sing. I would just love to have beautiful voice. How awesome is it and what a blessing it would be to just open your mouth and a beautiful melody comes out instead of off keys and flat notes. Well, yesterday I was reminded of a wonderful singer named Jason Upton. Wow, his music is powerful! He brings it! I love his music it just gets me pumped. He's like hey I love Jesus and I am going to sing about it! I added the lyrics to some of his songs at the end of this post. I mean you really need to check um out!
Okay so what has been going in my life for the past month. Well, not too much. Just hanging out and working for mom and dad. I have been trying out some new churches in the Birmingham area. It's been really cool to just have the freedom to go wherever and experience the different worship styles. I am going on a singles retreat with Church of the Highlands this weekend. I am really excited. I know it will be a chance to really grow spiritually as well as meet some cool people.
Haley gets married in two weekends. I really can't believe she's getting married! It's so weird. I mean really weird. But it will be fun to be able to hang out with all the roommates together again... the first in a LONG time! Jessica came in town last night so that was fun. We just went to the Galleria, out to eat with my parents and burned some cd's for a while. Real eventful.
OKay well I feel as if I need to end this post talking about the great awesome sovereignty of our Lord. I mean Hallelujah! Our Lord is just so awesome! I couldn't imagine a life without Him. He is my only hope. Thank you Jesus. THank you for dying on the cross for me. I love you and I will serve you all of the days of my life. May your name be glorified.
IN THE SILENCE
"Tired of telling you, you have me, When I know you really don't
Tired of telling you I'll follow, When I know I reallly won't
Cause I'd rather stand here speechless, With no great words to say
If my silence is more truthful, And my ears can hear how to walk in your way
In the silence, You are speaking
In the quiet I can feel the fire, And it's burning, burning deeply
Burning all that it is that you desire to be silent, in me
Oh Jesus can you hear me?, My soul is screaming out
And my broken will cries teach me, What your Kingdom's all about
Unite my heart to fear you, To fear your holy name
And create a life of worship, In the spirit and truth of your loving ways"
I WILL WAIT
"I will wait for you, Jesus, You're the son in my horizon , All my hopes in you, Jesus , I can see you now arising
There's a wall that stands in front of me , That I know I just can't climb , And like an eagle you will carry me , Its just a matter of the time
I will wait for you, Jesus, You're the son in my horizon , All my hopes in you, Jesus , I can see you now arising
Evil armies all around me, I believe in the word that promises me , So I will wait another day
I will wait for you, Jesus, You're the son in my horizon , All my hopes in you, Jesus , I can see you now arising
I will wait for you , Oh I will wait for you , Oh the doubt may try to come in , The disillusions may try to come in
I believe oh Lord , In the word that you promised , I believe it will not end , I believe it will not go
I will wait for you, Jesus, You're the son in my horizon , All my hopes in you, Jesus , I can see you now arising"
ONE REASON
"I lived my life for a while , Asking for signs to believe in , God played defense in my trial , Quietly hanging there bleeding , While i cast lots for his robe ,While i point my bloody finger, He pays debts that i owe , He says "Father, forgive them" , I used to ask for a sign to believe in , But he never gave me a reason to ever doubt Him
Give me one reason to doubt He is Messiah , Give me one reason to doubt He is alive , Give me one reason to doubt i am the apple of His eye
Just one reason now, Just one reason to doubt , Just one reason now , Just one reason to doubt Jesus Christ
I see the faith of our fathers , Abraham, Issac, and Jacob , They never saw what was promised , But they never once felt forsaken , Through fire, famine, and sword , Tribulation and war , They never asked for a sign to beleive in , So tell me how we stand in judgment and ever doubt Him
Give me one reason to doubt He is Messiah , Give me one reason to doubt He is alive , Give me one reason to doubt i am the apple of His eye
Just one reason now, Just one reason to doubt , Just one reason now , Just one reason to doubt Jesus Christ"
