| I love praise music. I really think I could listen, sing and praise all day. Actually, I suppose that is what we all need to be doing anyway. To me, music speaks to my soul, and I can sometimes process deep truths through incorporating music. I have lots of favorites, but must say Keith and Kristyn Getty have some amazing music, and I can't seem to stop listening to their "In Christ Alone" album. I do have to be careful when I'm on the treadmill or elliptical at the gym, or I might break out signing, and we've all heard people singing along with music no one else hears-it usually isn't very pretty! Here are the lyrics of my favorite song (of the day anyway): Jesus Draw Me Ever Nearer (May This Journey) First Line: Jesus draw me ever nearer | |
| "Jesus Draw Me Ever Nearer" Music by Keith Getty; Words by Margaret Becker Copyright © 2002 Thankyou Music Jesus draw me ever nearer As I labour through the storm. You have called me to this passage, and I'll follow, though I'm worn. May this journey bring a blessing, May I rise on wings of faith; And at the end of my heart's testing, With Your likeness let me wake. Jesus guide me through the tempest; Keep my spirit staid and sure. When the midnight meets the morning, Let me love You even more. Let the treasures of the trial Form within me as I go - And at the end of this long passage, Let me leave them at Your throne. You can see videos of them performing some of their music as well as an interview of them on Godtube. Check it out! |

So I don't confuse you....I posted but deleted because I did not check spelling.
This sounds like a great song. I am not familiar with this team....will have to listen to them. I agree, praise music lifts me like no other to the very feet of Jesus.
Exciting new about Chelsea....sounds like little Avery may make her debut soon! You are going to have so much fun!
What a beautiful song. I knwo it but somehow reading the words, helps to me to really remember them again, without just going through the motions..
I had tried to leave a comment before, and couldn't figure out how to do it. Now, all of a sudden it is showing up.
Glad to hear about Chelsea! Can't wait to hear all about Avery's arrival!
