IF NOT FOR GRACE ~words and music by Clint Brown
Where would I be? You only know.
I'm glad you see through eyes of love.
A hopeless case, an empty place,
If not for grace.
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound.
I once was lost, but now I'm found.
A hopeless case, an empty place,
If not for grace.
....so thankful!
Afraid?
(Not sure who this pic is of, but thought it was kind of cool looking)“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” ~Marianne Williamson
Fear Not.....
*However, in the midst of no fear remember that "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction." Proverbs 1:7
Contradictory? Not at all.
Keep it in the correct context.
Crying in the Chapel - Allies
This video kills me. :D Bob Carlisle has always been one of my all-time favorite singers. And yes, sad to say, I am old enough to say that this stems from the time of the Allies. They were one of my favorite groups as a teenager. I actually used two of their songs in my high school graduation. (I am truly dating myself now)=)
I can't hardly imagine Carlisle looking like this, he looks much better matured and clean cut. However, white boy could, and still, can eva more sing!
Party On!
Ain't No Party.....
....like a Holy Ghost Party......
....cause a Holy Ghost party.....
......don't stop!!!!
(Feb. 2008 revival with Bro. Owens)
Determination.....
My nephew Jeff was ripping up some slopes. I grabbed these pics from a friend's site. You can see the determination, intensity, drive and thrill of the ride reflected in his face.
Imagine what one could accomplish if life was taken on with this same intensity, determination and focus. The word "unachievable" would not be in one's vocabulary.
As Jonny Lang sings:
"I remember in the days of old, Doesn't seem that long ago, It was.... " Johnny you won't be nothing unless you do what you're told, Study medicine or study law, And please put away the guitar, The best you'll ever be is a local star at the local bar."
But I went and did it anyway, Family helping all the way, Now I'm here today, 5 records later, So you can hear me say,
Don't ...let 'em tell you can't be, Anything you wanna be, Don't be deceived, Anything's possible, If ....you just believe, Then you can succeed, It might not be easy, But anything's possible
Don't ...let 'em tell you can't be, Anything you wanna be, Don't be deceived, Anything's possible, If ....you just believe, Then you can succeed, It might not be easy, But anything's possible
What if old Ben Franklin, Would've been frightened by lightning, If he would've stayed inside .....then We'd still be in the dark Martin Lurther King, Did some beautiful things, All because he had a dream, Just like you and me
Don't ...let 'em tell you can't be, Anything you wanna be, Don't be deceived, Anything's possible, If ....you just believe, Then you can succeed, It might not be easy
Don't you know --it's gonna be sweat and some tears, and some hard years, best believe there'll be hurt, And some pain, Expect some rain You're gonna make it if you try, Keep your eye on the prize, You can take it, You might have to work it, but it's gonna be worth it, Don't let 'em tell you that you don't deserve it .....
[ Martin Luther]..... "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character I have a dream"
[ Martin Luther]..... "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character I have a dream"
No, don't ...let 'em tell you can't be, Anything you wanna be, Don't be deceived, Anything's possible, If ....you just believe, Then you can succeed, It might not be easy, Anything's possible."
