Lyrical Friday - Taste of Eternity

Happy Friday Lovelies!

Have you ever heard a song that caused you to really meditate and remember the goodness of God? Words that brough to remembrance the mighty works He has done? Have you ever just stood unable to utter a word or a sound because the majesty of God is so grand and beautiful? Have you found yourself breaking forth from your stillness with the taste of eternity on your lips?

When I heard Taste Of Eternity by Bellarive, I experieced worship like I hadn't in a long while. In stillness and silence, I listened and understood. Breaking forth in awesome worship, I sang... I smiled towards Heaven and sang. And in a room filled with many voices, it was only my voice I heard and in that moment it was only my Lord Jesus and I.

I pray that in stillness and silence you may listen and understand as you play today's lyrical song. I pray that you may breakforth in awesome worship and sing, sing, sing to the audience of one. May the taste of eternity be on your lips.


Let the godly sing for joy to the Lord; it is fitting for the pure to praise Him. Psalm 33:1

But as for me, I will sing about your power. Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love. For you have been my refuge, a place of safety when I am in distress. Psalm 59:16
But each day the Lord pours his unfailing love upon me, and through each night I sing his songs, praying to God who gives me life. Psalm 42:8

He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord. Psalm 40:3

Bellarive, Taste of Eternity
 

Father we come so aware
Of all that You've done
Of all that You are
Nothing above
No, none compare
So Father, we come here

CHORUS
The taste of eternity
Is here on our lips
With every breath we sing
With every breath we sing of
Your majesty
It's here in our midst
With every breath we sing

All else will fade
As You draw near
All that we want
Is all that You are
Nothing above
No, none compare
So Father, we come here

Oh, how holy
Oh, how worthy
Oh, how holy
Oh, how worthy
With every breath we sing
With every breath we sing
For every breath we sing is Yours
Every breath we sing is Yours

Happy Friday! Today I decided to re-post one of my older Lyrical Friday post. From October 2010 may you be refreshed and renewed by the God's Spirit.

Hi. 
One of the darkest times in my life happened when my Grandfather suddenly passed away. I was confused, angry and broken-hearted. It was in that time that this song by Jeremy Camp sustained and comforted me through that season. At times, I had to sing even though everything in me did not want to believe that I would be filled with joy again. Walk by Faith, is a prayer that my heart has taken ownership of. May you and I both, be a people who walk by faith and not by sight. And even on the broken road, may we sing hallelujah. God bless You Friends. 


Walk By Faith, Jeremy Camp


Would I believe you when you would say 
Your hand will guide my every way 
Will I receive the words You say 
Every moment of every day 

[chorus]
Well I will walk by faith 
Even when I cannot see 
Well because this broken road 
Prepares Your will for me 

Help me to win my endless fears 
You've been so faithful for all my years 
With one breath You make me new 
Your grace covers all I do 

Well I'm broken- but I still see Your face 
Well You've spoken- pouring Your words of grace

Lyrical Friday - Love Has Found Us

I have seen you in your sanctuary and gazed upon your power and glory. Your unfailing love is better than life itself; how I praise you! I will praise you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer. You satisfy me more than the richest feast. I will praise you with songs of joy. Psalm 63:2-5

-

Satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love, so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives. Psalm 90:14

-

You open Your hand And satisfy the desire of every living thing. Psalm 145:16

-
Hungry anyone? Thirsty? Weary? Burdened? Lost? Angry? Hurt? Abandoned? Lonely? Broken?
Can I get a witness? We have all experienced one of the above, if not all, at some point in our lives. It may very well be that these are not scars, but recent wounds. To all these sad states, God says, "I AM." To everything you are not, He is I AM.
-
I AM says to you today:
I AM your God. I AM your savior. I AM your friend. I AM your defender. I AM your deliverer. I AM your healer. I AM your provider. I AM your lover. I AM your father. I AM your creator. I AM your restorer. I AM your comfort. I AM the One who sees you. I AM the lifter of your head. I AM the anchor of your life. I AM the light in your darkness. I AM seeking you. I AM who satisfies your every need. Remember, to everything you are not, He is I AM.
-
I encourage you to listen closely to the lyrics of this song. Heck, bust out dancing and rejoicing, for the great I AM has found us! His love is better than life itself. So breathe in deep His love! Because only I AM's love can fully satisfy our souls. May He quiet you with His love and calm all your fears. May our wonderful I AM fill you afresh and a new with His Spirit and satisfy your every need. God bless you folks!

Lyrical Friday - Reason to Sing

-

Life can be likened to Miami weather. You see, in Miami, you can enjoy a nice walk under the sun and a few minutes later find yourself running for cover from the sudden pouring rain. Where did this rain come from? This happened to me yesterday. My Sister and I had planned for a day at beach. Early risers, we set out with our lunch packed, books in hand and plenty of refreshments. We arrived, set out the blanket, sat down and took in the morning breeze (that's when I snapped the picture above). Just as we are about to get in the water, BAM!, it began to rain. What?! Why!? As if by the sound of a trumpet, people grabbed their belongings and left the beach. And so did we.
-
The irony of it all is that my sister and I were just talking about what to do when metaphorical storms hit. Are we to make "lemonade" when life gives us lemons? Are we to "dance in the rain" when in a storm? My sister's answer, "Dancing in a storm will get you struck by lightning or swept up by a tornado. Seek refuge instead." We both agreed that those quotes are garbage and the most effective solution is to take refuge. I am reminded of Psalm 9:9, "The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble." My encouragement for you today, to you who may be oppressed and overwhelmed, is to seek refuge in God. In Him you will find peace and calm in the midst of a storm. In Him, hope will arise. In Him, you will have a reason to sing. 
-
He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. Psalm 91:4
-
In the fear of the LORD there is strong confidence, And His children will have a place of refuge. Proverbs 14:26
-
The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety. He is my refuge, my savior, the one who saves me from violence. I called on the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and he saved me from my enemies. 2 Samuel 22:2-4
-
I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world. John 16:33
-
Reason to Sing, All Sons and Daughters

-
When the pieces seem to shatter
To gather off the floor
All that seems to matter
Is that I don't feel you anymore
I don't feel you anymore
-
Chorus:
I need a reason to sing
I need a reason to sing
I need to learn that you are still holding
The whole world in your hands
I need a reason to sing
-
When I'm overcome by fear
And I hate everything I know
If this waiting last forever
I'm afraid I might let go
I'm afraid I might let go
-
There is victory
You sing it over me now
Your peace is the melody
You sing it over me
- 
I need a reason to sing
I need a reason to sing
I need to know that you are still holding
The whole world in your hands
That is a reason to sing
