Most of the time, we wake up each day having a carrying song in our head. I'm pretty sure I've heard this term during one of the preachings in our church. Other people would call it as LSS, or Last Song Syndrome. It's irritating to the commuters out here in which we sometimes arrive to our point of destination singing or humming the songs that we recently heard while we were in the jeepneys, FX, or taxi. Songs that are exclusively aired on not-so-cool stations, based on GenX creatures.
But in my case, I'm glad that the Lord has always put songs that are pleasing to Him. Not that I'm braggin, though. Sure, i also hum or sing a few lines of the songs that we hear on FM stations, but i'm pretty surprised that it doesn't last that long during the course of the day. God is always putting songs in my heart that would strengthen me, encourage me through tough times, or simply praise His awesome power and majesty. Especially if i'm worship leading our youth fellowship, i am so grateful to Jesus because i easily make a line-up that are basically of the same key, tempo, or theme. Sometimes i get surprised that i have a carrying song that was not usually popular for the past months or being sung in our church. Thank God for the people who have composed and made arrangements for these songs.
Since I'm currently in my tough times, i have always incorporated the songs that i sing with what's happening in my life. I love singing. I love singing to God. And this is my best way of giving all of me to Him and magnifying His glory. The following are just a very few of my fave songs with special implication on the path that i'm travelling right now. Hope you guys would know the tune. I just hope i could upload even just its extract of the complete song.
Better Than Life
Better than the riches of this world
Better than the sound of my friend's voices
Better than the biggest dreams of my heart
And that's just the start
Better than getting what I say I need
Better than living the life that I want to
Better than the love anyone could give
Your love is
You hold me now in Your arms
And never let me go
You Oh Lord make the sun shine
And the moon light in the night sky
You give me breath and all Your love
I give my heart to You because
I can't stop falling in love with You
I'll never stop falling in love with You
Still
Hide me now
Under Your wings
Cover me
Within Your mighty hand
When the oceans rise
And thunders roar
I will soar with You
Above the storm
Father You are King
Over the flood
I will be still
And know You are God
Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know His power
In quietness and trust
Through It All
You are forever in my life
You see me through the seasons
Cover me with Your hand
And lead me in Your righteousness
And I look to You
And I wait on You
I'll sing to You Lord
A hymn of love
For Your faithfulness to me
I'm carried in everlasting arms
You never let me go
Through it all
All Day
I don't care what they say about me
It's alight, it's alright
I don't care what they think about me
It's alright, they'll get it one day
Coz I love You, I follow You
You are my, my life
I will read my Bible and pray
I will follow You all day
I don't care what it costs anymore
Coz You gave it all and I'm following You
I don't care what it takes anymore
No matter what happens I'm following You
All day, All day now, All day
All day, All day now, All day
Anyone around can see
Just how good You've been to me
For all my friends who don't know You
I pray that You would save them too
Consuming Fire
There must be more than this
Oh breath of God
Come breathe within
There must be more than this
Spirit of God
We wait for You
Fill us anew, we pray
Fill us anew, we pray
Consuming fire
Fan into flame
A passion for Your Name
Spirit of God, would You fall in this place
Lord have Your way
Lord have Your way, with us
Come like a rushing wind
Clothe us with power
From on high
Now set the captives free
Leave us abondoned to Your praise
Lord, let Your glory fall
Lord, let Your glory fall
The One Who Lifted me
What can i say?
What can i do?
What can i bring to offer You?
There is no gold
No precious pearl
Nothing on earth that compares to You
Lord here I stand
with empty hands
I will exalt the One who lifted
Out of the miry clay
To height of eagle's wings
Words cannot express
All i know is this:
You've changed me, You've changed me
I can remember how i used to be
I was so bound
but now I'm free
I will exalt the One
Who lifted me
What can i say
A Father like You
A love that is strong
Gentle and true
You draw me close
Just like a child
Safe in Your arms
There is no doubt
This is my place
This is my way
There you have it. These songs comforts me, whatever the situation i am facing. The title of the latter song, i just assumed it. i'm too lazy to look up for the exact title. anyways, that is also the onely song not sung by Hillsongs, it's Sonicflood's. So many songs definitely are of significance to me and these are some of the few that i would wanna share with you guys.
Hey, this morning, we already had our thesis presentation and defense. i don't wanna take a deep scrutiny about what happened because, well....it's already 12:18am, Sunday. take note that i gotta get up early for church later..haha! i just want to thank ONCE AGAIN the Lord Almighty for being so faithful and true to His promises because we're over with one of the requirements for this school year.
2 down, 1 more to go.
And i'm over...by God's amazing grace.
