Its Only Werds...

Ok, so here we go. This is Part I of the post I mentioned a few posts ago -- that thing I felt on my heart to share but was hesitant because of concerns blah blah blah....forgetaboutit. He said share, I share. 

I'm starting with the best way to share what is on my heart in a format I can understand and relate to. So hereyago: a link to a file on my website server that (I pray earnestly) will open a ".wma" file. For those of you who don't understand that, this opens Windows Media Player in a new screen. If you click on the link below, have your sound adjusted, your hand on the mouse to close the player or your hand on the volume button of the speakers attached to your computer....just to MAKE SURE the volume is where you are comfortable with it. This is not a radical rock song, it is, however, a bit up-tempo. This song is by one of my all-time favorite Christian music artists. I have listened to him for the past ten or so years and really appreciate his heart toward God. But what I love most about the music of Steven Curtis Chapman is that he writes life songs with a Christian attitude. What I mean by that is he writes love songs to his wife, songs of joy in his children, songs about living BIG (abundant life)...and more.

But this song says so well what is on my heart about one aspect of our prayer lives. When do we pray? What if a friend has a need? This song tells it like it is and I am grateful for it. Here are the lyrics, and if you want to listen, the link appears below with the words "Listen by clicking here."

Shared with giant love for you, my friends. Oh, and this is just Part I. God has put so much more in my heart to share and I am ready. This is just a quick post before I go to work (day 2 at quickie mart -- THIRD SHIFT?!?!?! What was I thinking!?!?!?! And manOHman, have i got stories from there already *giant frown*)

Steven Curtis Chapman -- Let Us Pray

I hear you say your heart is aching
You've got trouble in the making
And you ask if I'll be praying for you, please
And in keeping with convention
I'll say yes with good intentions
To pray later making mention of your needs
But since we have this moment here at heaven's door
We should start knocking now, what are we waiting for?

CHORUS:
Let us pray, let us pray, everywhere in every way
Every moment of the day, it is the right time
For the Father above, He is listening with love
And He wants to answer us, so let us pray

So when we feel the Spirit moving
Prompting, prodding and behooving
There is no time to be losing, let us pray
Let the Father hear us saying
What we need to be conveying
Even while this song is playing, let us pray
And just because we say the word, "Amen"
It doesn't mean this conversationi needs to end

Let us pray, let us pray, everywhere in every way
Every moment of the day, it is the right time
Let us pray without end and when we finish start again
Like breathing out and breathing in, let us pray

Let us approach the throne of grace with confidence
As our prayers draw us near
To the One who knows our needs
Before we even call His name

Let us pray, let us pray -- everywhere in every way
Every moment of the day, it is the right time
Let us pray without end and when we finish start again
Like breathing out and breathing in, Oh! let us pray, Oh let us pray...

First and foremost, i am HIS kid! A born-again, baptized believer, walking in HIS Amazing Grace. I am a daughter to my (still-living) parents, a sister to four siblings, a mother to three of THE MOST AMAZING young adults on this planet, a friend, a co-worker, a singer for the worship team at a Vineyard Fellowship \o/ and at this amazing time in my live, believe it or not, I am a nursing student! I love my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ and I love to write. I hope to make new friends "here" to talk about HIM and the wonderous things we have seen and know.
