Worship Wednesday - You Move Me

What a sweet love song to our savior of a life changed!  I've felt a lot of these feelings in this song, and Jesus moved me to action...away from fears, into love, into a family, into His family and so much more!  Anywho, hope this speaks to you today!

This how it seems to me
Life is only therapy
Real expensive and
No guarantees
So I lie here on the couch
With my heart hanging out
Frozen solid with fear
Like a rock in the ground

But You move me
You give me courage I didn't know I had,
You move me
I can't go with You and stay where I am so,
You move me

Here is how love was to me
I could look and not see
Going through the emotions
Not knowing what they mean
And it scared me so much
That I just wouldn't budge
I might have stayed there forever
If not for Your touch

Oh, but You move me
Out of myself and into the fire
You move me
Burning with love and with hope and desire,
How You move me

You go whistling in the dark
Making light of it, making light of it
And I follow with my heart
Laughing all the way
Oh, 'cause You move me
You get me dancing and You make me sing,
You move me
Now I'm taking delight in every little thing
How You move me
Oh, You move me

Worship Wednesday - Desert Song

Back for another Worship Wednesday here at Stouts R Us, and I just love this song!!  I was trying to find the video and all I could do was raise my hand in worship every time I clicked on a version, and I decided to go with this one for no apparent reason other than I love it :]  I found an acoustic that I love but for a first time Desert Songer I thought y'all might benefit from the original :]  {facebookers have to click on original post to see video

Verse 1:
This is my prayer in the desert
And all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in the hunger in me
My God is a God who provides

Verse 2:
And this is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved
Of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flames

Chorus:
And I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon forged against me shall remain

I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

Verse 3:
And this is my prayer in the battle
And triumph is still on it's way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand

Bridge:
All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

Verse 4:
This is my prayer in the harvest
When favor and providence flow

I know I'm filled to be empited again

The seed I've recieved I will sow  { I love the line about being co-heirs with Christ!!!  How phenomenal is that??? If you are questioning whether or not you will be co-heirs with Christ, let me know and I'd love to chat with you about that :]}

Worship Wednesday - Change in the Making

I love Addison Road!  They are great and this is one of my favorite songs of theirs!  It was the theme song for our Women's Retreat this past year and it's legit!  Here ya go {reading on facebook? click on the original post to see the video}...

and the words....

There’s a better version of me
That I can’t quite see
But things are gonna change
Right now I’m a total mess and
Right now I’m completely incomplete
But things are gonna change
Cause you’re not through with me yet

This is redemption’s story
With every step that I'm taking
Every day, you’re chipping away
What I don’t need
This is me under construction
This is my pride being broken
And every day I’m closer to who I’m meant to be
I'm a change in the making

Wish I could live more patiently
Wish I could give a little more of me
Without stopping to think twice
Wish I had faith like a little child
Wish I could walk a single mile
Without tripping on my own feet
But you’re not through with me yet

And this is redemption’s story
With every step that I'm taking
And every day, you’re chipping away
What I don’t need
This is me under construction
This is my pride being broken
Every day I’m closer to who I’m meant to be

From the dawn of history
You make new and you redeem
From a broken world to a broken heart
You finish what you start in everything
Like a river rolls into the sea
We’re not who we’re going to be
But things are going to change

I'm living redemption’s story
With every step that I'm taking
And every day, you’re chipping away
What I don’t need
And this is me under construction
This is my pride being broken
And every day I’m closer to who I’m meant to be
I'm a change in the making

I'm not who I'm gonna be
Moving closer to your glory

I love the thought of Jesus chipping away the things that I don't need, each day molding me to be more and more like himself!  He's breaking our pride and making us who we are meant to be....if we let him that is.  

What are you listening to these days??

Worship Wednesday - Hosanna

I am a lover of song.  I can think of 50 bajillion songs I want to post on a Worship Wednesday, but I'm gonna stick to 1 per week :] {On a sidenote, if you are reading this on facebook, you will have to go to my actual blog to hear the song...youtube won't embed to facebook through my blog for some reason?}

The song I'm singing this week is Hosanna by Hillsong United...it's Amazing, and I know you will love it...here's the video...

and the lyrics...

I see the king of glory
Coming on the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes
The whole earth shakes

Yeeeah

I see his love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing
The people sing

[Chorus]
Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest [x2]

I see a generation
Rising up to take their place
With selfless faith
With selfless faith

I see a near revival
Stirring as we pray and seek
We're on our knees
We're on our knees

[Chorus]

Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me

Break my heart from what breaks yours
Everything I am for your kingdoms cause
As I go from nothing to
Eternity

[Chorus x2]

Hosanna in the highest

My favorite lyrics that always get me out of my seat with my hand held high are "Break my heart for what breaks yours. Everything I am for your kingdom's cause...as I walk from earth into eternity".  I often pray these lyrics to God...I want to be broken by what hurts him.  I don't want to be numb to what's going on around me.  I want to be more and more like Jesus!

What songs are you singing this week??  Why does it tug at your heart strings today??

American Honey

Well, Johnny and Joey are at gymnastics, and Sammy is sleeping, so I'll jump on the opportunity to tell you about our girls night out last night!  

Amy texted me the Wednesday night and asked if I might want to go see Lady Antabellum on Friday.....I was driving so Johnny read me the text, I screamed and it was a done deal!  She had 2 extra tickets, so we invited my sister Vicky and friend Kelli {on a side note, when I called Kelli, she screamed and giggled like she'd won the lottery...loves it!!!}!!  Let me just tell you how amazing this band is!  Below is one of my favorite songs of theirs.....take a listen then continue reading!

Did you hear that awesomeness??  Well, that's exactly what they sounded like live!!  I'm not kidding when I say that was the best live vocal performance show I've ever been to!  They did not miss a note all night, and that's no joke!  For such a young band....Hillary is only 24...they performed like seasoned vets!  I was so thrilled to get to spend the night with family and friend, and am blessed to have a hubby who would let me do it!  Here's a few pics from the night...did I mention we were on the 16th row in the center of the theatre??  Well, we were!!!!!

Good thing I had my point n shoot in my purse!!  I could not believe just how close we were!!

This truly was an amazing show, and I can't wait to see them again!! Thanks for the tickets JB, you rock!!!
