THE EIGHT BEATITUDES OF JESUS

Today I am feeling very blessed! 

THE EIGHT BEATITUDES OF JESUS

"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they who mourn,
for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure of heart,
for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called children of God.

Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
Gospel of Matthew 5:3-10

Queen - My Life Has Been Saved

In disarray

Here we go

Tellin' lies

Here we go (here we go)

This is the way we are today

People going separate ways

In disarray - hey

There's death on every page oh

Oh Lord I thank you for my

My life has been saved

My life

My life has been saved

My life

My life

My life has been saved

I'm in no doubt

I'm blind

I don't know what's coming to me

Hurting

The pain inside, so hard to hide, regrets and pain and pouring rain

F this world its getting old, was never told how hard life would be or who i should be

This pain wont stop cant stop the rot, the cancer grows nobody knows

how bad it feels its so unreal

Please just make this stop and let me be, please set me free
i'm spinning round cant stand the sound, my beating heart torn apart

cant see the light its all just shite

I have  failed myself and everyone else, I've made a mess i must confess

please please help me can anyone see, how deep inside in pain i hide

Can't turn back the clock and put things right many lives have been cracked open

Im just bad, im going mad, please forgive my sins and comfort me

please give direction so i can see, what it is you want me to do

Children crying and wail in pain many lives will never be the same

because of me cant you see

Precious souls and tiny life's, broken homes tormoil and strife

let the whole world see how it should be, only one can set you free

Cant live alone can't do things right, without help its a hopeless plight

please take this cup from me, please set me free

I like how this sounds so thought I would share!

Sing You songs of praise and acknowledge all Your ways and glorify You in every day! / (Psalm 9:1-2) (Repeat) / (Chorus 2X)

The Mask

The Mask

Don't be fooled by the face I wear

for I wear a mask, a thousand masks,

masks that I'm afraid to take off,

and none of them is me.

Pretending is an art that's second nature with me,

but don't be fooled,

for God's sake don't be fooled.

I give you the impression that I'm secure,

that all is sunny and unruffled with me, within as well

as without,

that confidence is my name and coolness my game,

that the water's calm and I'm in command

and that I need no one,

but don't believe me.

My surface may seem smooth but my surface is my mask,

ever-varying and ever-concealing.

Beneath lies no complacence.

Beneath lies confusion, and fear, and aloneness.

But I hide this.  I don't want anybody to know it.

I panic at the thought of my weakness exposed.

That's why I frantically create a mask to hide behind,

a nonchalant sophisticated facade,

to help me pretend,

to shield me from the glance that knows.

But such a glance is precisely my salvation, my only hope,

and I know it.

That is, if it's followed by acceptance,

if it's followed by love.

It's the only thing that can liberate me from myself,

from my own self-built prison walls,

from the barriers I so painstakingly erect.

It's the only thing that will assure me

of what I can't assure myself,

that I'm really worth something.

But I don't tell you this.  I don't dare to, I'm afraid to.

I'm afraid your glance will not be followed by acceptance,

will not be followed by love.

I'm afraid you'll think less of me,

that you'll laugh, and your laugh would kill me.

I'm afraid that deep-down I'm nothing

and that you will see this and reject me.

So I play my game, my desperate pretending game,

with a facade of assurance without

and a trembling child within.

So begins the glittering but empty parade of masks,

and my life becomes a front.

I tell you everything that's really nothing,

and nothing of what's everything,

of what's crying within me.

So when I'm going through my routine

do not be fooled by what I'm saying.

Please listen carefully and try to hear what I'm not saying,

what I'd like to be able to say,

what for survival I need to say,

but what I can't say.

I don't like hiding.

I don't like playing superficial phony games.

I want to stop playing them.

I want to be genuine and spontaneous and me

but you've got to help me.

You've got to hold out your hand

even when that's the last thing I seem to want.

Only you can wipe away from my eyes

the blank stare of the breathing dead.

Only you can call me into aliveness.

Each time you're kind, and gentle, and encouraging,

each time you try to understand because you really care,

my heart begins to grow wings--

very small wings,

very feeble wings,

but wings!

With your power to touch me into feeling

you can breathe life into me.

I want you to know that.

I want you to know how important you are to me,

how you can be a creator--an honest-to-God creator--

of the person that is me

if you choose to.

You alone can break down the wall behind which I tremble,

you alone can remove my mask,

you alone can release me from my shadow-world of panic,

from my lonely prison,

if you choose to.

Please choose to.

Do not pass me by.

It will not be easy for you.

A long conviction of worthlessness builds strong walls.

The nearer you approach to me

the blinder I may strike back.

It's irrational, but despite what the books say about man

often I am irrational.

I fight against the very thing I cry out for.

But I am told that love is stronger than strong walls

and in this lies my hope.

Please try to beat down those walls

with firm hands but with gentle hands

for a child is very sensitive.

Who am I, you may wonder?

I am someone you know very well.

For I am every man you meet

and I am every woman you meet.

REM - Everybody Hurts

Everybody hurts sometimes, It is ok to hurt and you are not alone!



"Everybody Hurts"

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.

Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. (repeat & fade)
(Everybody hurts. You are not alone.) 

If you need to reach out please do not be ashamed to do so.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness, that is a real real tough subject.

Forgiveness is typically defined as the process of concluding resentment, indignation or anger as a result of a perceived offense, difference or mistake, or ceasing to demand punishment or restitution.

How do we forgive when we have been badly wronged?

Why should we?

The truth is we must forgive, we simply must. If we do not ever forgive we continue to punish ourselves.
Luke 6:37 (NIV)

Whats it all About? - God Help Me Please!

Whats it all About? - God Help Me Please!

Homeless Boy Wows Judges on Korea's Got Talent

He was singing Nell Fantasia an Italian Opera... Here is the lyrics in English.

In my fantasy I see a fair world, Where everyone lives in peace and honesty. I dream of a place to live that is always free, Like a cloud that floats, Full of humanity in the depths of the soul. In my fantasy I see a bright world. Where each night there is less darkness. I dream of spirits that are always free, Like the cloud that floats. In my fantasy exists a warm wind, That breathes into the city, like a friend. I dream of souls that are always free, Like the cloud that floats, Full of humanity in the depths of the soul.

Great Dinner

Just has a wonderful meal, Beef Stroganoff Kathy Petty Style mmmmm. To say the flavor was beefy in the extreme would be a huge understatement. Not for the weak hearted or vegetarian, this was beefy goodness at its best whilst on steroids.

Who would believe that Mc Cormicks Beef Stroganoff mix, diced onions, beef stock, "The Philly Steak" sandwich steaks, and some pasta could taste so good. Well not me but I stand or rather sit corrected in the extreme.

Add a side of brocolli and I am one verry full and happy camper.   TY Beef! 

Merle Haggard - Mama Tried

Tom T Hall - The Year That Clayton Delaney Died

Memories, growing up used to listen to several Country songs, Maureen used to listen to them 

over and over and although I was never really a Country fan, they stuck with me.

I want to be free - Toyah Wilcox

I'm bored
don't want to go to school
don't want to be nobody's fool
want to be me
want to be me
don't want to be sweet and neat
don't want someone living my life for me
want to be free
I'm going to turn this world inside out
I'm going to turn suburbia upside down
I'm going to walk the streets, scream and shout
I'm going to crawl through the alleyways, being very loud
don't want to be told what to wear
As long as you're warm who cares
want to be me
want to be me
So what if I dye my hair
I've still got a brain up there
And I'm going to be me
I'm going to be free
I'm going to turn this world inside out
I'm going to turn suburbia upside down
I'm going to walk the streets, scream and shout
I'm going to crawl through the alleyways, being very loud
I'm going to turn this world inside out
I'm going to turn suburbia upside down
I'm going to walk the streets, scream and shout
I'm going to crawl through the alleyways, being very loud
Tear down the wallpaper
Turf out the cat
Tear up the carpet
We've got rid of that
Blow up the TV
Blow up the car
Without these things
You don;t know where you are
Pull down the abbatoirs
And all that's obscene
Everything in life
Should be totally free
We should live and let live
And all live our dreams
I'm going to turn this world inside out
I'm going to turn suburbia upside down
I'm going to walk the streets, scream and shout
I'm going to crawl through the alleyways, being very loud
I'm going to turn this world inside out
I'm going to turn suburbia upside down
I'm going to walk the streets, scream and shout
I'm going to crawl through the alleyways, being very loud
I'm gonna be free
I'm gonna be free

Moving story about God

The heart of worship - Matt Redman

When the music fades
And all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless your heart

I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the ways things appear
You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
All about You, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You Jesus

King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath

I'll bring You more than just a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
All about You, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You Jesus

Its all about you
Jesus 

Blessed be the Name - Matt Redman

Blessed Be Your Name
In the land that is plentiful
Where your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be your name

Blessed Be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed Be Your name

Every blessing you pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's 'all as it should be'
Blessed be Your name

Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name

Every blessing you pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord Blessed be your name

Johnny Cash - How Great Thou Art

O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

Indescribable - Chris Tomlin

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea

Creation's revealing Your majesty

From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring

Every creature unique in the song that it sings

All exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable,

You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.

You are amazing God

All powerful, untameable,

Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim

You are amazing God

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go

Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow

Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light

Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night

None can fathom

Indescribable, uncontainable,

You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name

You are amazing God

All powerful, untameable,

Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim

You are amazing God

Indescribable, uncontainable,

You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.

You are amazing God

All powerful, untameable,

Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim

You are amazing God

Indescribable, uncontainable,

You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.

You are amazing God

Incomparable, unchangeable

You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same

You are amazing God

You are amazing God

No one like you - Barlow Girl

You are more beautiful
Then anyone ever
Everyday you are the same
You never change - no never

You are more beautiful
Then anyone ever
Everyday you are the same
You never change no never

And how can I ever deny
The love of my Savior???

You are to me everything
All I need forever
How could you be so good?

There is no one like you
There has never ever been --- anyone like you

Everywhere you were there
Earth or air surrounding
Im not alone the heavens sing along
My God youre so ASTOUNDING
How could you be so good to me
Eternally I believe that

There is no on like you
There has never ever been anyone like you

How could you be so good to me
Were not alone so sing along
Sing along. Sing along"

Days Of Elijah - Robin Mark

These are the days of Elijah,

Declaring the word of the Lord:

And these are the days of Your servant Moses,

Righteousness being restored.

And though these are days of great trial,

Of famine and darkness and sword,

Still, we are the voice in the desert crying

'Prepare ye the way of the Lord!'

Behold He comes riding on the clouds,

Shining like the sun at the trumpet call;

Lift your voice, it's the year of jubilee,

And out of Zion's hill salvation comes.

These are the days of Ezekiel,

The dry bones becoming as flesh;

And these are the days of Your servant David,

Rebuilding a temple of praise.

These are the days of the harvest,

The fields are as white in Your world,

And we are the labourers in Your vineyard,

Declaring the word of the Lord!

There's no God like Jehovah.

There's no God like Jehovah!

David Crowder Band - How He Loves

He is jealous for me,
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realise just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.

And oh, how He loves us so,
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us all

He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.
Yeah, He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.

We are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,
If grace is an ocean, we’re all sinking.
So Heaven meets earth like an unforeseen kiss,
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest,
I don’t have time to maintain these regrets,
When I think about, the way…

He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.
Yeah, He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.

Watch the Lamb - Ray Boltz

Walking On the Road
To Jerusalem,
The time had come to sacrifice,
Again,
My two small sons,
They walked beside me down the road,
The reason that they came,
Was to watch the lamb...
And they said,
"Daddy daddy,
What will we see there,
There's so much that we don't understand,"
So I told them of Moses,
And Father Abraham,
And I said dear children,
"Watch the lamb....
There will be so many,
In Jerusalem today,
We must be sure this little lamb,
Doesn't run away,"
And I told them of Moses,
And Father Abraham,
And I said "Dear children,
Watch the lamb...."
When we reached the city,
I knew something must be wrong,
There were no joyful worshippers there,
No joyful worship songs,
And I stood there,
With my children,
In the midst of angry men,
Then I heard a crowd cry out,
"Let's Crucify Him!"
We tried to leave the city,
But we could not get away,
Forced to play in this drama,
A part i did not want to play,
Why upon this day were men condemned to die,
Why were we standing right here,
Where soon they would pass by,
I looked and I said,
"Even now they come,"
The first one cried for mercy,
The people gave him none,
The second one was violent,
He was arrogant and loud,
I can still hear his angry voice,
Screaming at the crowd,
Then someone said,
"There's Jesus,"
I scarce believed my eyes,
A man so badly beaten,
He barely looked alive,
Blood poured from His body,
From the thorns on His brow,
Running down the cross,
And falling to the ground,
I watched as He struggled,
And I watched Him when He fell,
The cross came down upon His back,
And the crowd began to yell,
In that moment I felt such agony,
In that moment I felt such loss,
Till the roman soldier grabbed my arm and screamed,
"YOU! Carry his cro-----------ss!"
At first I tried to resist him,
But his hand reached for his sword,
So I knelt and I took
The cross from the Lord
I put it on my shoulders
We started down the street
And the blood that He'd been shedding,
Was running down my cheeck...
They led us to Golgatha
They drove nails,
Deep in His feet and hands,
And on the cross,
I heard him pray,
"Father, forgive them..."
Never have I seen such love
In any other eyes
"Into thy hands I commit my spirit,"
He prayed,
And then He died.
I stood for what seemed like years,
I lost all sense of time,
Then I felt two tiny hands
Holding tight to mine
My children stood there weeping,
And I heard the oldest say
"Father please forgive us,
The lamb,
Ran away...
Daddy daddy,
What've we seen here,
There's so much that we don't understand,"
So I took them in my arms,
We turned and faced the cross
And I said
"Dear children
Watch the----- la-----mb..."
