Music of My Heart

I'm not ashamed to tell
the whole world, oh
Without you, I'm nothing at all
That I have strings in
need of mending
I'm out of tune in certain parts
So strum the chords of mercy
Restore my soul completely
Lay your hand upon me
And this instrument will breathe

[Chorus]
'Cause you're the music of my heart
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
The melody within my soul
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
The song that holds me in the dark
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
The fire that warms
me when I'm cold
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
The symphony that calms my fear
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
The lyric that I long to hear
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
The masterpiece, the work of art
Complete before I start
The music of my heart

Yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Creator of all that is lovely, oh
Write a tune upon my heart
And when you finish
will you play me
Like a beautiful guitar?
Strum the chords of mercy
Restore my soul completely
Breathe life into me
And this instrument will sing

[Repeat Chorus]
Of my heart
I'm captivated
(Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Heart)
Of my heart
My soul's elated
(Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Heart)
Of my heart
Because
Every single line's
full of love divine
Write me like a valentine

[Repeat Chorus]

Yeah, the music of my heart
Of my heart
The music of my heart
Of my heart
The music of my heart

I Promise

Lord, You know my heart
And all my desires
And the secret things I'll never tell
Lord, You know them well
Though I may be young
I see and understand
That at times like sheep we go astray
And things get out of hand
So I promise to be true to You
To live my life in purity
As unto You
Waiting for the day
When I hear You say
Here is the one I have created
Just for you
Until then, O Lord
I will be content
Knowing that true love
Will come someday
It will Only come from You
'Cause I have seen the suffering
That loneliness can cause
When we choose to give our love away
Without a righteous cause

On My Knees

There are days when I feel
The best of me is ready to begin
Then there are days when I feel
I'm letting go and soaring on the wind
'Cause I've learned in laughter or
In pain
How to survive
I get on my knees
I get on my knees
There I am before the love
That changes me
See I don't know how
But there's power
When I'm on my knees
I can be in a crowd
Or by myself almost anywhere
When I feel there's a need
To talk with God He is Emmanuel
When I close my eyes
No darkness there
There's only light
I don't know how but there's power
In the blue skies
In the midnight
When I'm on my knees

by: Jaci Velasquez

Imagine me Without You

As long as stars shine down from heaven
And the rivers run into the sea
Till the end of time forever
you're the only love I'll need

In my life you're all that matters
In my eyes the only truth I see
When my hopes and dreams have shattered
you're the one that's there for me

When I found you I was blessed
And I will never leave you
I need you

Imagine me without you
I'd be lost and so confused
I wouldn't last a day I'd be afraid
Without you there to see me through

Imagine me without you
Lord You know it's just impossible
Because of you it's all brand new
my life is now worthwhile
I can't imagine me without you

When you caught me I was falling
Your love lifted me back on my feet
It was like you heard my calling
And you rush to set me free

When I found you I was blessed
And I will never leave you
I need you

Imagine me without you
I'd be lost and so confused
I wouldn't last a day I'd be afraid
Without you there to see me through

Imagine me without you
Lord You know it's just impossible
Because of you it's all brand new
my life is now worthwhile
I can't imagine me without you

When I found you I was blessed
And I will never leave you
I need you

Imagine me without you
I'd be lost and so confused
I wouldn't last a day I'd be afraid
Without you there to see me through

Imagine me without you
Lord You know it's just impossible
Because of you it's all brand new
my life is now worthwhile
I can't imagine me without you

Bible

The Bible

Although one book, the Bible contains sixty individual books. Within each of these there is often a variety of writing such as poetry, prose, biography, letters, family trees, official records, songs and prayers.

Christians consider that the origin and ultimate author of the Bible is God, but it also clear that he has used human gifts and skills in the process of putting his message into writing. 2 Timothy 3:16 says that ‘all Scripture is God-Breathed’ and 2 Peter 1:21 that ‘ men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit’, a claim that God communicated his words in some way through people. In the same way it is reasonable to imagine that God worked through those who were involved in the process of writing down and translating his message. NIV (NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION)

What great men say?

• Abraham Lincoln said: “I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to men. All the good Savior gave to the world was communicated through this book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man’s welfare, here and hereafter, are to be found portrayed in it.”

• George Washington said: “It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.”

• Mahatma Gandhi said: “The reading of the New Testament has given me comfort and boundless joy.”

• Gen. Douglas McArthur: “Believe me, sir, never a night goes by, be I ever so tired, but I read the Word of God before I go to bed.”

• Sir Issac Newton: “…I find more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible than in any profane history whatsoever.”

• Michael Faraday: “Why will people go astray when they have this blessed Book to guide them?”
