Day 3 of Songs that Touch my Heart

Ok so this next song, is from Amanda Cook, and is titled: You Don't Miss a Thing. She is one of the many worshippers with Bethel Live and I LOVE her! She has such talent and I'm NOT so patiently awaiting a solo cd from her, I adore her tone (one of the things that I'm all about) and her passion for Jesus (very important!) The song is off Bethel's new album We will not be Shaken. For me the lyrics that really hit me are these:

There's no place I can go your love won't find me
no place I can hide that you don't see
no place I could fall that your love couldn't catch me
you see it all, you see it all through the eyes of love

listen to just the above portion of the song here: http://www.tubechop.com/watch/5420221

the above goes on and it is amazing...later the last line of this portion says Your in love with me...we hear of God loving us but IN love with us? To me that speaks of such intimacy.

The above verse also reminds me of one of my favourite scriptures Psalm 139, I encourage you to read it.

Here is the full song with lyrics.

Day 2 of Songs that touch my heart...

At the Cross (Love Ran Red) by Chris Tomlin


The first time I heard this song...wow! I am dying to do this one corporately. I will continue to wait patiently, for now, I will listen and worship to it alone. All the lyrics are fantastic but these are the ones that stick out to me, the chorus:

At the cross
At the cross
I surrender my life
I'm in awe of You
I'm in awe of You
Where Your love ran red
and my sin washed white
I owe all to You
I owe all to You Jesus

Then later on this:

Here my hope is found
Here on holy ground
Here I bow down
Here arms open wide
Here You save my life
Here I bow down
Here I bow down

What an amazing thing Jesus did when He was obedient and died on the cross. His love truly did run red in that act of obedience, talk about love in action! I am in complete utter awe of Him!

Day one of Songs that touch my heart...

Don't know how long I will be doing this but if you know me even a little bit you will quickly find out that I LOVE music. I enjoy all sorts of music (NO country!),  but most often the music that touches my heart will probably be worship music. I guess what it really gets down to is I LOVE to worship because He has done so much for me. He is so good! Sometimes I've even worshipped through songs that weren't written as a worship song and yet I find a lyric that speaks to me that is relevant to what God has done in my life and all of a sudden I'm worshipping my God through a song that wasn't written for God's glory, and suddenly He is praised through it. My intention of this blog series is to share with you all the songs that touch my heart. Hopefully through doing so you can get a glimpse into what I'm about and most of all hopefully through it God will be glorified. With that being said I've been going through a Delirious kick. These songs for me do not get old. Seriously good stuff, I'm pretty sure as I grow in Christ and get stronger and more mature in my faith that I actually love these songs more than when they first came out. For me they are timeless.  Song One is....

Obsession by Delirious....this song. Wow. This songs music is amazing! Usually for me the thing that hooks me in a song is the lyrics. Don't get me wrong, still essential but this songs music is like I said: AMAZING. The Bass in it is SO good, best listened loud enough that you can feel it.
