I've started listening to more and more songs of praise that I discovered on K-Love. I've been very touched by the many beautiful songs that focus on praising our Savior, Jesus Christ. I'm gonna use this thread to share many of them. I hope they become as meaningful to you as they have for me. And even though I sometimes still listen to Journey and Aerosmith and other favorites, while I enjoy them, they just don't touch me at all the way these do. Not even close.

This one has made me cry.

LEAD ME

I look around and see my wonderful life
Almost perfect from the outside
In picture frames I see my beautiful wife
Always smiling
But on the inside, I can hear her saying
"Lead me with strong hands
Stand up when I can't
Don't leave me hungry for love
Chasing dreams, what about us?
Show me you're willing to fight
That I'm still the love of your life
I know we call this our home
But I still feel alone."
I see their faces, look in their innocent eyes
They're just children from the outside
I'm working hard, I tell myself they'll be fine
They're independent
But on the inside, I can hear them saying
"Lead me with strong hands
Stand up when I can't
Don't leave me hungry for love
Chasing dreams, what about us?
Show me you're willing to fight
That I'm still the love of your life
I know we call this our home
But I still feel alone."
So Father, give me the strength
To be everything I am called to be
Oh, Father, show me the way
To lead them
Won't you lead me?
To lead them with strong hands
To stand up when they can't
Don't want to leave them hungry for love
Chasing things that I could give up
I'll show them I'm willing to fight
And give them the best of my life
So we can call this our home
Lead me, 'cause I can't do this alone
Father, lead me, 'cause I can't do this alone

This is a great song to wake up to every day.

Thanks, marc! These songs are rounding out an absolutely wonderful Sabbath today.

Life brings storms, but He never forsakes us.

Sneaking in some U2. They have produced many beautiful idealist songs like "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" and "Where the streets have no name." I never knew Bono was singing some deeply Christian songs. There are some cool documentaries with him discussing his Christianity.

This video is the ending of their concert in Chicago featuring "Yahweh" and "40," their interpretation of Psalms chapter 40 in the Old Testament.

Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Last one for today. Listening to these songs and more and reading the scriptures, pondering, praying and sharing these things with others is how I enjoy spending the Lord's holy day. I hope some people found joy or comfort or peace and more listening in.

Here's one I absolutely love. I wish these sisters would do a lot more line this.

Wow! They have beautiful voices and I love their harmony.

Thank you Marc. Nothing better on a Sunday (or everyday). Enjoyed with the kiddos while the wife was taking a Mothers day nap. Here are a few of my favorites.

Nathan Pacheco just made me bawl like a baby with that song. Wow. Just...wow. He just got a new fan for life. Thanks, drtanner, I'd never even heard of him before.
