 Send Revival, Start With Me


A cry for revival as we look to God and His promises to forgive and heal us if we pray and humble ourselves before Him.

" ... if My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

  Redeemer


A powerful declaration of praise to the God who is the creator of the universe, yet also One who eagerly meets us in our times of need. The God who conquered death and brings us victory in life!

"This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins... If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in Him and He in God." ~ 1 John 4:9-10&15 ~ (NIV)

"Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does He not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until He finds it? And when He finds it, He joyfully puts it on His shoulders and goes home. Then He calls His friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.' I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent." ~ Luke 15:4-7 ~ (NIV)

  I Walk By Faith


We live by faith and need not fear the evil one as we trust in God through life each step of the way. For if God is for us, then no one can be against us!

"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." ~ Psalm 23 ~ (NIV)

 (You Brought Me Back)



A song of thanksgiving for our compassionate God who gave up His life to seek and save us, drawing us back to His love when we had wandered far from Him.

"He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to Him, nothing in His appearance that we should desire Him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering... He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows... He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed.

We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way... The Lord will call you back. '...with deep compassion I will bring you back... I will have compassion on you,' says the Lord your Redeemer. 'Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,' says the Lord, who has compassion on you." ~ Isaiah 53:2-6 & 54:6,7,8&10 ~ (NIV)

  King Jesus Is All


This song reflects how we can safely and totally rely on and trust in Jesus. For those of us who recall our first step of faith into the seemingly unknown only to find that we stood on solid ground; ground that proves to be more solid and precious the more we learn of and experience Him.

"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God... God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us. You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." ~ Romans 5:1-8 ~ (NIV)

Having been rescued and loved by Jesus, we can never return to where we were before. A song that expresses our love, gratitude and yearning towards Him.

"I am my lover's and my lover is mine..." ~ Song of Songs 6:3 ~ (NIV)

  The Most Beautiful Of All


Based on the Song of Solomon and Psalm 45, it's an expression of love awakening, the stirring and captivation of our hearts to a love that changes lives in a most beautiful and powerful way. He is indeed, "the most beautiful of all".

" ... Your love is better than life, my lips will glorify You ...My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise You. On my bed I remember You; I think of You through the watches of the night. Because You are my help, I sing in the shadow of Your wings. I stay close to You; Your right hand upholds me." ~ Psalm 63:3, 5-8 ~ (NIV)

(Your Kingdom Come)



A wonderful teaching on how we should pray. We ask God to show and guide us in His truth and ways and sustain us as we live a life of faith.

Jesus said "...your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. This, then, is how you should pray: Or Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one." ~ Matthew 6:9-13 ~ (NIV)
