Revelation Song

Filled with wonder, Awestruck wonder
At the mention of Your Name
Jesus, Your Name is Power
Breath, and Living Water
Such a marvelous mystery
Yeah...

(Chorus)
Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come, yeah
With all creation I sing:Praise to the King of Kings!
You are my everything, And – I - will - adore You!

We sang this song in worship today and I can't begin to explain the power that was released.
The freedom, the praise, the worship from my heart. I didn't come to church psyched and even singing this song didn't feel ooey gooey - it felt that the Holy Spirit was singing it through me.
Talk about a higher power.
(This might sound gibberish but there is no other way to explain it)
Certain lyrics are God inspired more than you could ever know - it's like the words themselves are so potent that saying them makes all the difference.

God, you are awesome.
I love you, I praise you, I adore you - above all.
You reign in glory and power, who can ever compare with you?

Break down the walls
Melt all the barriers to loving you and living for you
I want to be with you Lord

Part the waters,
Pave the way from here to you.
You are awesome and I love you.
Amen.

All things Mother

I dedicate this week to mothers;- mommies, grand mothers, mothers in-law, name them.

I start this mini series with my moms favourite song from the 70's.
In those days it was either radio Uganda or nothing.
David Ogwang or Mike Arereng would say "Kampala, Mbale, Soroti, Kabale, Kotido... every where - habaaariiigaannii!!!"



SWEET MOTHER

Sweet mother I no go forget you
for the suffer wey you suffer for me.
Sweet mother I no go forget you
for the suffer wey you suffer for me.
When I dey cry, my mother go carry me--she go say,
my pikin wetin you dey cry ye, ye,
stop stop, stop stop make you no cry again oh.

" When I won sleep, my mother go pet me,
she go lie me well well for bed, she cover me cloth, sing me to sleep, "sleep sleep my pikin oh."
When I dey hungry, my mother go run up and down
she go find me something when I go chop oh.

Sweet mother I no go forget you for the suffer wey you suffer for me
When I dey sick, my mother go cry, cry, cry, she go say instead when I go die make she die.O, she go beg God, "God help me, God help, my pikin oh.
"If I no sleep, my mother no go sleep, if I no chop, my mother no go chop, she no dey tire oh.
Sweet mother I no go forget you, for the suffer wey you suffer for me.

You fit get another wife, you fit get another husband, but you fit get another mother? No!
And if I forget you, therefore I forget my life and the air I breathe. And then on to you men, forget, verily, forget your mother, for if you forget your mother you've lost your life.

By Prince Nico Mbarga 1976

Where am at

Again, I find a song that expresses my disposition accurately.

Somewhere between who I was and who You're making me
Somewhere in the middle, You'll find me

Fearless warriors in a picket fence, reckless abandon wrapped in common sense
Deep water faith in the shallow end and we are caught in the middle
With eyes wide open to the differences, the God we want and the God who is
But will we trade our dreams for His or are we caught in the middle

Somewhere between my heart and my hands
Somewhere between my faith and my plans
Somewhere between the safety of the boat and the crashing waves
Somewhere between a whisper and a roar
Somewhere between the altar and the door
Somewhere between contented peace and always wanting more
Somewhere in the middle You'll find me

Just how close can I get, Lord, to my surrender without losing all control
Lord, I feel You in this place and I know You're by my side
Loving me even on these nights when I'm caught in the middle

Casting Crowns

Who am I?

Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart.

Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.

I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.

Casting Crowns

God of My Days

You awaken my heart
From slumbering
Meet me in mourning
And you speak to my grief
You're the light in my darkness
The delight of my eyes
The hope of the daybreak
When the sun's slow to rise

I trust that every moment's in your hands
You're the God of my days
The King of my nights
Lord of my laughter
Sovereign in sorrow
You're the Prince of my praise
The love of my life
You never leave me
You are faithful
God of my days

You unveil my eyes
Help me to see
The arms of my Father
Encircling me
You're a constant companion
I am never alone
Your love is the banner
That's leading me home

My eyes are on You
My hope is in You
My faith is in You

My eyes are on You
My hope is in You
My faith is in You
