Artist : Kirk Franklin Title : Looking For You

FOR ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE STRUGGLE, YOU THINK THAT GOD'S FORGOTTEN ABOUT YOU ... HERE'S SOME PAIN MEDICINE!!!!!!! you in your car, you at the house .. be encouraged boo

[Verse 1:]
I've been down so long, I've been hurt for so long,
There were times I thought I would never see the break of day.
It was hard for me , to see your plan for me
And I tried to believe, surely it won't last always
But night after night, (Night after night, Night after night) [I LOVE THIS PART]
I pray Lord don't take your joy from me
Then late one night (then late one night)
I read in your love letter that it's gonna get betta

[Chorus:]
Don't cha know that I've been looking for you
I realized that nothing else will satisfy me
I'm so glad I found you
Now that I'm changed no one can keep me away from you

[Verse 2:]
you brought us a mighty long way, that's why we love you
And my enemies, tried to come for me
And they thought that my world was comin' to an end
All the while you knew
That I would make it through
I feel closer to you now than when I first began
Jesus you are, (Jesus you are, Jesus you are) [LOVE THIS PART]
You are my sun right after the rain
Wherever you are (wherever you are)
I just wanna be near you
I'm so glad I can hear you

[Chorus 2x]

here we go now, here we go now, don't stop now. lets go now in the front now in the back now Ladies

Jesus you are, (Jesus you are, Jesus you are)
You are my sun right after the rain
Wherever you are (whereever you are)
I just wanna be near you

"Jesus You are"
Jesus You are my joy within
You are the shelter from the wind
You're the forgiver of my sins

Jesus You are
Where can I go, who can I call
Who's there to catch me when I fall
Your hands they hold me through it all
Everything I need You are

Jesus You are my cornerstone
You are my friend when I'm alone
You're the convictor when I'm wrong

Jesus You are
You are the peace within my storm
You are the shelter from all harm
I love it when You hold me in Your arms
Everything I need You are

Jesus You are my joy within
You are the shelter from the wind
You're the forgiver of my sins

Jesus You are
Where can I go, who can I call
Who's there to catch me when I fall
Your hands they hold me through it all
Everything I need You are

You are my healer
Thank You Jesus
You are my shelter
Thank You Jesus
You're my lawyer
Thank You Jesus
You're my provider
Thank You Jesus

"Why We Sing"

Someone asked the question
Why do we sing?
When we lift our hands to Jesus
What do we really mean?

Someone may be wondering
When we sing our song
At times we maybe crying.
And nothings even wrong

I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
That's the reason why I sing

Glory
Hallelujah
You're the reason why I sing

Glory
Hallelujah
I give the praises to You

Glory
Hallelujah
You're the reason why I sing

And when the song is over
We've all said
Amen
In your heart just keep on singing
And the song will never end

And if somebody asks you
Was it just a show
Lift your hands and be a witness
And tell the whole world
No

And when we cross that river
To study war no more
We will sing our songs to Jesus
The one that we adore

Kirk Franklin

"Imagine Me"

Imagine me
Loving what I see when the mirror looks at me cause I
I imagine me
In a place of no insecurities
And I'm finally happy cause
I imagine me

Letting go of all of the ones who hurt me
Cause they never did deserve me
Can you imagine me?
Saying no to thoughts that try to control me
Remembering all you told me
Lord, can you imagine me?
Over what my mama said
And healed from what my daddy did
And I wanna live and not read that page again

[Chorus:]
Imagine me, being free, trusting you totally finally I can...
Imagine me
I admit it was hard to see
You being in love with someone like me
But finally I can...
Imagine me

Being strong
And not letting people break me down
You won't get that joy this time around
Can you imagine me?
In a world (in a world) where nobody has to live afraid
Because of your love fears gone away
Can you imagine me?

[Bridge:]
Letting go of my past
And glad I have another chance
And my heart will dance
'Cause I don't have to read that page again

[Chorus x2]

[Vamp:]
Gone, gone, it's gone, all gone <---- MY FAVORITE PART

Old Testament

Over time, I've read most of the New Testament, and parts of the Old Testament. My goal is to read the entire Bible, word for word. I've always struggled to get through the Old, so I've made a new attempt ... this section will serve as my progress report ..... maybe you'll read with me????

• Genesis - completed
• Exodus - in progress

Regardless of what anybody says, the Holy Bible isn't crystal clear to me .... especially customs and language of Biblical times. I have TONS of questions. Maybe I should start a blog of Biblical questions?

Gratitude & Prayer

• I'm thankful that my computer is still working. It's been giving me some trouble, but it's still ticking, so for that I'm thankful.
• I'm still thankful for my health. I'm thankful that's I've been motivated enough to do aerobic workouts on a regular basis.
• I'm thankful that I'm made PROGRESS accomplishing some of my goals this summer. Amen.
• I'm HUGELY THANKFUL that I haven't had a full blown migraine since Oct. 2006. Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• I send a prayer of strength and hope to all the people enduring flooding and other natural distasters right now, may the Lord bless and protect them. Amen.
• Unfortunatly, There's always people suffering from poverty and oppression around the world, and I pray for their suffering to end. I pray that the Lord will bless and protect them. I pray that they will find strength and hope to endure. Amen.
• I pray for an end to hate, and racism ... it's a waste of time and energy, so let it cease! Amen.
