Grace carried me here,
and by Grace I’ll carry on.

Set A Fire | United Pursuit and Will Reagan

(There’s) no place I would rather be
No place I would rather be
No place I would rather be
than here in Your love,
here in Your love

Set a fire down in my soul that I can’t contain
that I can’t control
I want more of You, God
I want more of You

“This is Who I Am” | Life In Your Way

This is who I am
I’ll walk out this Kingdom not as a duty but an honor
Now called a son, I’ve been set free from the slavery of sin
And when I fall, I stand in the face of darkness and I say,
“This is who I am”
My father has freed my past, present, and future
He doesn’t see what I see, He doesn’t see what you see
He sees my destiny and calls me to be a son

This is who I am
in the midst of a firefight, You’ve called me a son.
This is who I am
by the power of the risen death and what You have done
This is who I am
all I’ve been and who I’ve become
This is who I am, who I am
I’m a son!

"Some of you need to hear this for the first time, and so this is from our hearts…
The Kingdom of God is for the burnouts, the broken, and the broke.
The drug addicts, the divorced, the HIV positive, the herpes-ridden, the hopeless.
For the outcasts that have been created by the church,
And for the outcasts of our society that have been created by us.
The Kingdom of God is for the brain damaged, the incurably ill, for the barren.
For the pregnant too many times, and the pregnant at the wrong time.
This is for the over-employed, the underemployed, the unemployable, and the unemployed.
This is for the swindled, the shoved aside, the left aside.
The replaced, the incompetent, and the stupid.
This is for the emotionally starved and the emotionally dead.
The Kingdom of God is for the bigoted, the murderers, the child molesters, the brutals, the drug lords.
The terrorists, the perverted, the raging alcoholics, over consumers, the incredibly ugly.
The dumb, the ignorant, the starving, the filled, and the filthy rich.
The Kingdom of God is for everyone and the Kingdom of God is for me."

Bethel Live - Closer

“Your love has ravished my heart.
And taken me over, taken me over.
And all I want is to be.
With You forever, with You forever.

Pull me a little closer.
Take me a little deeper.
I want to know Your heart.
I want to know Your heart.
‘Cause Your love is so much sweeter.
Than anything I’ve tasted.
I want to know Your heart.
I want to know Your heart.

Whoa, whoa, how great Your love is for me.
Whoa, whoa, how great is Your love.

Pull me a little closer.
Take me a little deeper.
I want to know Your heart.
I want to know Your heart.
‘Cause Your love is so much stronger.
Than anything I’ve faced and
I want to know Your heart.
I want to know Your heart.”

Great Is Thy Faithfulness | Ascend the Hill

Great is Thy Faithfulness, O God my Father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
You never change, Thy compassions, they fail not;
as You have been, forever You’ll be.

Pardon for sin and peace that endureth;
Thy own dear presence to lead and to guide me;
Strength for today, bright hope for tomorrow;

Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside.

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God unto me.
Oh You never fail me.

The Reform | Ascend the Hill

I open my eyes to the breathtaking splendor of brand new sky
I come alive
Heart pounding, and voice resounding
This is the sound of my rebounding
Coming back again
Coming back again
To You, God

The Creator’s brand I bear
And forfeit the scars of love to share
This is the sound of foundations shaking
History in the making

This is reformation
This is love overtaking
This is the sound of redemption
This is now, this is here

This is love overtaking me
This is love overtaking me

Come Like You Promised | Ascend the Hill

Spirit of the living God, won’t You come
Spirit of the living God, won’t You come
We need You here, oh we need You here

Come Lord like You promised
Just like You said You would
Do not delay

Come with healing in Your touch
Come with fire in Your eyes
Just like You said You would
Come with grace and mercy
Come with judgment and might
Just like You said You would

Come riding on the wind
Through clouds of glory pierce the sky
Just like You said You would
Come and bring us back again
Lord come restore Your bride
Just like You said You would

First thing I get home mom and I drive to get chocolate at the gas station (yes) and worship the whole way to For Today.

I was really blessed because at the end we just sat in the car and worshiped to “The Breaker’s Commission” and literally the presence of God was so evident in that car.

It meant so much that after this entire semester -warring, battling, interceding through it together- to just praise God.

He is here
He was there
He is peace
He is faithful

Forever and A Day | Bethel Live ft. Jenn Johnson

I was afraid Your love sent me free
I was in debt You paid the price for me
I was hurt You took away my pain
I was alone until You called my name
I was broken and You mended me
Before I was You loved me
You healed my body and You made me whole
No matter what I do You don’t let go

I will sing to the King, I am the ransomed one
How I love Your holy name
Holy to the Lamb who was slain
When I laugh and when I cry
You are the reason why
How I long to be with You
Forever and a day, forever and a day

When I go to bed, You are near
When I wake up, You are there
When I call Your name, You are here
When I walk in faith, You’re everywhere
You catch and save every tear I cry
You journal everyday all about my life
Your love for me reaches to the sky
I am Yours, You are mine

I was ashamed, You called me beautiful
And now I’m Yours, You call me beautiful
I was ashamed You called me beautiful
But now I’m Yours, You call me beautiful

Sometimes I don’t feel like worshiping, especially when I am depressed like today. I think it is in those times I need to the most.
“Your grace abounds in deepest waters. Your sovereign hand will be my guide where feet may fail and fear surrounds me. You’ve never failed and You won’t start now.” (-Oceans by Hillsong United).

Dead Men Walking | Sleeping Giant

4/14 13:37 - 18 notes

“I will not surrender to the power of darkness” - Sleeping Giant.

God is giving me victory over depression. I am no longer have to go through every day feeling defeated, because I am more than a conqueror through Christ who loves me (Romans 8:37). I have realized that the enemy wants me to accept defeat, but I can fight, and I can have victory in Christ. I am not giving up. I was disarmed with fear and sadness, but no longer. I am picking up the sword of truth and standing in praise to overcome this battle. I will worship. I do not have to give in, I can rise up in the joy of the Lord. That will be my strength in weakness. Joy is not just a feeling; it is Christ in me. He is my joy and He is my strength. He is victory.

I was like a dead person in my depression: it shut me down, it paralyzed me, it put me to sleep.

But a resurrection has come.

“Awake, oh sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you!” (Ephesians 5:14). My eyes are wide open; I’m awake. And I will not surrender to the power of the darkness! Christ shines on me. I will rise in His light.

And this will be my battle anthem-

“In the face of suffering and pain, the Lord, our justice is One. As Hell postures itself like it still reigns, the peace of Heaven will come. I am a child of God, I see all these things- I’m broken. The Lord, our justice is One. I bow my head to the King in submission as His words are spoken.The peace of Heaven reigns, salvation is our banner. I will not surrender to the power of darkness! All my fear has vanished in the presence of Heaven. Can you feel the fire- the fire in my heart? I see dead men walking, I can’t help but prophesy. Life- to the dead you will rise again. Life- to the power of Hell- it can’t have you, my Kingdom is stronger! Fight, you must fight!

I know the weight of all the fear in life. I know its easier to fade and die. But can I tell you what it is you don’t see? There was a King who came and gave His life, for all the broken ones like you and I. It’s in His sacrifice I trust and believe.

Can you feel the fire- the fire in my heart? We are dead men walking, we were born to prophesy! In the face of all Hell- Watch the dead live again! All in the Kingdom are redeemed from the curse with a story to tell- Watch the dead live again! Bringing salvation to all of the hurting, abandoned, and used- Watch the dead live again! All of the nations stare in amazement to watch what we do. The peace of Heaven reigns, salvation is our banner.

As we dance, can you feel the Earth shake? Glory! Can you feel the glory? Glory fall- can you feel the glory of God? Our praise, we dance before the host of Heaven. All that I need is Your presence, so let Your glory fall. Your Holy name can save us, so let Your glory fall!”

This Loneliness Won’t Be The Death of Me | Being As An Ocean

So tired, so tired of showing Love so deep
That most aren’t even willing to feel
See what I’ve seen
Open your eyes and recognize that this is real
This season brings darkness so profound
I’ve become lost and can’t seem to be found
Contorted, racked with pain
I know should feel free, yet I continue to sing this sad refrain
I can’t sleep and food has lost its taste
GOD, I’M SO SICK OF THIS PLACE

What do I do here in the waiting?
What do I do with my unsatisfied heart?
What do I do here in the waiting?
Here in the tension of believing again and again and again

‘Cause there’s a lack
There’s a gap in my soul
Between the things 
That I believe and I know

Holy Spirit
You who fill all and all
Come and fill me
Holy Spirit, come hold me together

So I fall into grace again 
Like a child I am
