Another favourite artiste is nichole nordeman so you will be seeing alot of her lyrics on my blog...but i guess thats why its mine. 'Holy' was the first song i heard from nichole but when i took time to listen to 'HEALED" and 'I AM " lets just say i was blown away. If for some reason i die right now...i would love I AM to be played in my funeral...usually am not a morbid person...but that song speaks of a life journey and its a testimony of who God has been and still is in my life.

Pencil marks on a wall
I wasn't always this tall,
You scattered some monsters from beneath my bed,
You watched my team win,
You watched my team lose,
You watched when my bicycle went down again,

CHORUS:
And When I was weak unable to speak,
still I could call You by name,
and I said “Elbow healer, Superhero,
come if You can,” and You said “I am”

Only 16, life is so mean, what kind of curfew is at ten PM
You saw my mistakes, You watched my heart break
Heard when I swore I’d never love again

CHORUS:
When I was weak, unable to speak,
still I could call You by name,
and I said “Heart-ache Healer, Secret-keeper,
be my Best Friend” and You said “I am”

You saw me wear white, by pale candlelight,
I said forever to what lies ahead
two kids and a dream, with kids that can scream
too much it might seem when it’s two AM

CHORUS:
when I am weak, unable to speak,
still I will call You by name.
“Oh Shepherd, Savior, Pasture-maker,
hold on to my hand,” and You say “I am.”

The winds of change,
And circumstance blow in and all around
us so we find a foothold that’s familiar,
And bless the moments that we feel You nearer
Life had begun, I was woven and spun,
You let the angels dance around the throne, who can say when,
But they’ll dance again, when I am free and finally headed home

CHORUS:
I will be weak, unable to speak,
still I will call You by name
“Creator, Maker, Life-sustainer,
Comforter, Healer, My Redeemer,
Lord and King, Beginning and
the End, I am, yes, I am.”

When all is said and done...when all the winds blow and cease,when all the upheavals in life come and go,when all the success i ever wish for come or fail to come,,,,,when all the people in my life come and go...when all is said and done...God isall i need....i guess Bethany Dillon sings it best...
"All I Need"

When the day is done
And there's no one else around
While I'm lying here in bed
You're in my heart, You're in my head
You're all I need, You're all I need
There are a million voices
Calling out my name
But You're the One I want to hear
So make the others disappear

You are all I need when I'm surrounded
You are all I need if I'm by myself
You fill me when I'm empty
There is nothing else
You're all I need

When the morning comes
And Your mercy is renewed
There's a fire in my bones
I'm not afraid to go alone
You're all I need
You're all I need
The sun on my face
I hear You whisper loud
You're still the God that opens seas
Every flower, even me
You're all I need
You're all I need

I'm drawn to everything that You do
Nothing compares with You

i am in a fellowship cum bible study and it really challenged us as to what position God occupies in our lives.....yaani the many things that despite the years that av spent with God,i still try to control.Every year at the end i evaluate the whole year that was thus leading to new commitments in the new year.....the past year was an anomaly which extended to the present. i dint evaluate the previous year nor did i make any resolutions for this year....but when sanity finally came in my country and the realisation that God was sovereign in all circumstances i decided that two songs would guide me in my walk this year...that periodically i would check whether my life was as i had promised God.....
The first is HOLY by Nichole Nordeman...
How many roads did I travel
Before I walked down one that led me to You?
How many dream did unravel
Before I believed in a hope that was true?
How long? How far?
What was meant to fulfill only emptied me still
And all You ever wanted…

Only me on my knees
Singing holy, holy
And somehow
All that matters now is
You are holy, holy

How many deaths did I die
Before I was awakened to new life again?
How many half truths did bear witness to
‘Til the proof was disproved in the end?
How long? How far?
What was meant to illuminate shadowed me still

And all You ever wanted…
All I have is gratitude to offer You
.........................................................................................................................
today has been a day of lyrics.....but this one is the last one....many artistes have sang it but i like the version by kathryn scott best....if by the end of the year my life would have borne testimony as this song goes then to me its been a successful year.....

Blessed be Your name in the land that is plentiful,
Where Your streams of abundance flow,
Blessed be Your name.

Blessed be Your name,
When I'm found in the desert place,
Though I walk through the wilderness,
Blessed be Your name.

Every blessing You pour out on, turn back to praise.
And, when the darkness closes in, Lord, still I will say,

Blessed be the name of the Lord,
Blessed be Your name.
Blessed be the name of the Lord,
Blessed be Your glorious name.

Blessed be Your name,
When the suns shining down on me,
When the world's all as it should be,
Blessed be Your name.

Blessed be Your name,
On the road marked with suffering,
Lord, there's pain in the offering,
Blessed be Your name.

Every blessing You pour out on, turn back to praise.
When the darkness closes in, Lord, still I will say,

Blessed be the name of the Lord,
Blessed be Your name.
Blessed be the name of the Lord,
Blessed be Your glorious name.
Oh,
Blessed be the name of the Lord,
Blessed be Your name.
Blessed be the name of the Lord,
Blessed be Your glorious name.

You give and take away.
You give and take away.
My heart will choose to say,
Lord, blessed be Your name.

God, You give and take away.
Oh, You give and take away.
My heart will choose to say,
Lord, blessed be Your name,

Blessed be the name of the Lord,
Blessed be the name.
Blessed be the name of the Lord,
Blessed be Your glorious name.

Blessed be the name of the Lord,
Blessed be Your name.
I choose to say,
Blessed be the name of the Lord,
Blessed be Your glorious name,
Blessed be Your glorious name.

You give and take away.
God, You give and take away.
My heart will choose to say,
Lord, blessed be Your name

God, You give and take away.
You give and take away.
My heart will choose to say,
Lord, blessed be Your name

Oh, You give and take away.
You give and take away.
My heart will choose to say,
Lord, blessed be Your name

Blessed be the name of the Lord,
Blessed be Your name.
Blessed be the name of the Lord,
Blessed be Your glorious name.

Blessed be the name of the Lord,
Blessed be Your name.
Blessed be the name of the Lord,
Blessed be Your glorious name.
Blessed be the name of the Lord,
Blessed be Your glorious name.
Blessed be Your name.
