Songs

There have been two songs that have just been a really uplifting to me. I wanted to share them with you. The first song is called "Knowing Christ". A friend of mine sang this in chapel not that long ago and know that I have the words I want to share it with you all.

O to taste the goodness of the Lord,
Satisfying hunger in my heart.
O to feed on manna from above:
Strength divine the Spirit shall impart.

O to know the presence of the Lord;
O to taste, to hear, to feel, to see.
O to know the presence of the Lord,
Knowing Christ in full reality.

O to hear the cadence of His voice,
Speaking peace within my inner man;
O to hear the tender chords of love
Sounding out the guidance of His plan.

O to know the presence of the Lord;
O to taste, to hear, to feel, to see.
O to know the presence of the Lord,
Knowing Christ in full reality.

O to feel the comfort of His touch,
Graciously upholding me in need.
O to sense the everlasting arms
assurring me to trust His lead

O to see the glory of the Lord
Shining forth in splendor and in might;
O to see the high and lofty One
Now exalted greatly in our sight!

O to know the presence of the Lord
O to taste, to hear, to feel, to see
O to know the presence of the Lord
Knowing Christ in full reality.

I just really like this song because it talks about how we can know Christ. We can see it in His glory. We can feel it in the way He touches our lives. We can hear it through others. We can KNOW Christ in reality...if we would just take the time to know Him!

The last song is We Will Serve Him...this song just challenges me to serve Him for the rest of my days! (Its a duet...so thats why it says we...)

Here in the presence of the Lord
Here in this holy place
Giving Him thanks for all He's done
Quietly seeking His face

So many times we've seen His hand,
Guiding each step of the way.
God put us here to take a stand
To serve Him everyday.

We will serve Him for the rest of our days
We will serve Him with the highest of praise.
We'll be His witness no matter the cost
We'll be His beacon, His light to the lost
We will serve the Lord our God
For the rest of our days.

He is the light at break of dawn
He is the one true way.
He is our strength when hope is gone
Shephards us when we stray.

God gave to us His only son
The selfless sacrifice
How can we pay for all He's done
When Jesus paid the price?

We will serve Him for the rest of our days
We will serve Him with the highest of praise
We'll be his witness no matter the cost
We'll be His beacon, His light to the lost
We will serve the Lord our God...
for the rest of our days
