β§ Music “Once And For All” by Lauren Daigle
God I give You all I can today
These scattered ashes that I hid away
I lay them all at Your feet
From the corners of my deepest shame
The empty places where I’ve worn Your name
Show me the love I say I believe
Oh Help me to lay it down
Oh Lord I lay it down
Oh let this be where I die
My lord with thee crucified
Be lifted high as my Kingdom’s fall
Once and for all, once and for all
There is victory in my Saviors loss
And In the crimson flowing from the cross
Pour over me, pour over me yes
Oh let this be where I die
My lord with thee crucified
Be lifted high as my Kingdom’s fall
Once and for all, once and for all
Oh Lord I lay it down
Oh Lord I lay it down
Help me to lay it down
Oh Lord I lay it down
Oh let this be where I die
My Lord with thee crucified
Be lifted high as my Kingdom’s fall
Once and for all.
The Simple Way
A couple of weeks ago, Paul (one of our preachers) asked if iβd like to share a song thatβs on my heart before his sermon (which was yesterday). Itβs not a full band song, but one where i accompany a single singer, a prayerful and reflective song. My first thoughts were βOh yeah iβd love to go up to the front and terrify myself while i share some words and try to play a songβ. So i said βYes iβd love tooβ. He said βGreat, the theme is unityβ.Β
As i went away i said βWow, thank you Lordβ as for nearly 2 months now iβve been doing a personal daily expositional bible study on Ephesians 4 & 5, which is all about unity. Verses suddenly flooded my mind about unity in the Spirit through the bond of peace, unity in the faith, unity in the body and on and on they came. I started getting excited and thought instead of sharing a song, iβd share all of the things iβd been learning for about 6 hours instead! lol. π
Then the more sobering verses and thoughts came along…
βIf we are without Hope and without God (Ephesians 2:12), and if we are not growing in the knowledge and understanding of Christ, if Jesus isnβt the head, and if He is not leading the way, then unity is IMPOSSIBLE!β Jesus who is The Way, The Truth and The Life, simply said “FOLLOW ME!β.Β
β Song “The Simple Wayβ by Sara Sargent
I then went to ask my loving sister in Christ Sara if she would bless us with her beautiful voice while i accompany her on acoustic guitar, and to maybe show me some of the songs she had written but kept quiet. So last week Sara came and showed me βThe Simple Wayβ, wow! π
This is a short section of the song which i recorded on my iPhone as i was learning the guitar chords. The quality isnβt brilliant, but i hope you too are blessed by Saraβs beautiful voice.Β
