Holy Is Our God - Starfield



Lift your hands, oh saints of God, lift up your hands
Sing for joy unto the risen Son of man
Celebrate the life that's been reborn in you
Celebrate the One who's making all things new

Hallelujah Christ is King
Hallelujah, rise and sing

Holy is our God
Wonderful is He
Holy is the Lord Almighty


Fall before your maker, every creature fall
Let your heart be still and know that He is God
Tremble at the feet of him upon the throne
Tremble men and angels before Him alone

Hallelujah, Christ is King
Hallelujah, rise and sing

Holy is our God
Wonderful is He
Holy is the Lord Almighty


To the One who reigns forever
To the ancient of all days
Be the glory, power, majesty, and praise

To the One who reigns forever
To the ancient of all days
Be the glory, power, majesty, and praise

To the One who reigns forever
To the ancient of all days
Be the glory, power, majesty, and praise

Holy is our God
Wonderful is He
Holy is the Lord Almighty


And the mountains bow and the rivers cry
Holy is our God
Over all the earth you reign

Your Name In Vain - Hello Kelly




There’s something inside my heart
Feelings that I can’t explain
Every time I write this down
It feels so insincere now

Words written on my lips
I’m burnin’ rhyme right through this paper
And looking for excuses
Oh God, just let me stand for something

With this simple song, I’m screaming this prayer
Let Your heart be revealed in here
And every time I sing Your name
Let it not be Your name in vain

I’m drowning in these airwaves
Can I find You in these oceans?
Are You even here at all?
‘Cause the first time Your name came through my lips
It had a better ring to it

With this simple song, I’m screaming this prayer
Let Your heart be revealed in here
And every time I sing Your name
Let it not be Your name in vain


Put words in my mouth and I’ll sing them
But I’m afraid that I don’t believe them
Whoa, I don’t wanna say it if it tastes like poison

With this simple song, I’ll whisper this prayer
Let Your heart be revealed in here
And every time I sing Your name
Let it not be Your name in vain

With this simple song, I’m screaming this prayer
Let Your heart be revealed in here
And every time I sing Your name
Let it not be Your name in vain
When I sing Your name
Let it not be Your name in vain

Your Name In Vain - Hello Kelly

Thursday, May 19

This honestly couldn't have come at a better time.




You feel the isolation, slowly take a toll
This season of waiting, is starting to get old
Looking for acceptance, and aching for a home
So tired of trying to make it out on your own

There's no easy answer, but one thing you should know
You're not alone, anywhere you go
You're not alone, hear the voice whisper to your soul
A promise you can always hold:

You're not alone, no

You're stuck in a dive and you've almost had enough
Because of what you've been through, it's difficult to trust
You're still barely hanging on, trying hard to fight
If anybody's listening, you want to know tonight

There's no easy answer, but one thing you should know
You're not alone, anywhere you go
You're not alone, hear the voice whisper to your soul
A promise you can always hold:

You're not alone, no

You're not alone
You're not alone

Reach out, don't reach within
I'm it the door, if you just let me in
Reach out for what you need
What you won't find in yourself, you will find in me

You're not alone, hear the voice whisper to your soul
I'll never leave or let you go
You're not alone, I'm with you to the end
You're not alone, I'm closer than a friend
You're not alone, and I'm with you to the end
You're not alone, closer than a friend
You're not alone

for sjm [III]

Hokay. So it was brought to my attention tonight that it's been a little while since I last posted a list for sjm... sorry dear! Please forgive me.

The backstory on this playlist is quite simple: About a week ago, I sold my soul (but not really!) to Steve Jobs, and bought an iPhone4. I have since discovered the joys of having iTunes at my fingertips, and have purchased altogether too much music. So, off the Purchased playlist on my new iPhone:


Format: Song - Artist (Album)

And that's where it's at for me now. Ima go belt something along the lines of Take Me Or Leave Me (the Glee version, of course) now...

Peace all!

Ohmigosh, has it been more than a month since I promised this follow-up?! Shoot. Please forgive me, SJM.

Roll Away Your Stone

Roll away your stone I'll roll away mine
Together we can see what we will find
Don't leave me alone at this time
For I am afraid of what I will discover inside

You told me that I would find a home
Within the fragile substance of my soul
And I have filled this void with things unreal
And all the while my character it steals

Darkness is a harsh term don't you think?
Yet it dominates the things I see

It seems that all my bridges have been burned
But you say, "That's exactly how this grace thing works"
It's not the long walk home that will change this heart
But the welcome I receive with every start

Darkness is a harsh term don't you think?
And yet it dominates the things I see
Darkness is a harsh term don't you think?
And yet it dominates the things I see

Stars hide your fires
For these here are my desires
And I won't give them up to you this time around
And so I'll be found
With my stake stuck in the ground
Marking the territory of this newly impassioned soul...

Hide your fires
For these here are my desires
And I won't give them up to you this time around
And so I'll be found
With my stake stuck in the ground
Marking the territory of this newly impassioned soul

And you, you've gone too far this time
You have neither reason nor rhyme
With which to take this soul that is so rightfully mine

Alleluia, Sing

Like calm comes to a sea; Like snowfall quietly
You come to me

Like justice to the weak; Like a flood rising
You come, You come to me

Alleluia majesty
Alleluia risen king
Alleluia angels sing
Alleluia

Like springtime to winter’s hush
Like laughter to solemnness
Like a sun rising up
You come, You come to us

Like a song rising up in your heart, filling up
Like a heart’s not enough for this love, for this love
To sing of love, to sing of love
To sing of love, love, love…

Alleluia majesty
Alleluia King of Kings
Alleluia angels sing
Alleluia (sing!)
