A Hallelujah Christmas

~Cloverton

from the album 

A Hallelujah Christmas Single

I heard about this Baby Boy 

Who comes to earth to bring us joy

And I just want to sing of this song to You

It goes like this

The fourth, the fifth

The minor fall, the major lift

With every breath I'm singing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

A couple came to Bethlehem 

Expecting child, they searched the inn

To find a place for You were coming soon...

There was no room for them to stay

So in a manger filled with hay

God's only Son was born, O Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

The shepherds left their flocks by night

To see this Baby wrapped in light

A host of angels led them all to You

It was just as the angels said,

"You'll find Him in a manger bed,

And there you'll meet your Savior, Hallelujah!"

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

A star shown bright out in the east

To Bethlehem, the wise-man three

Came many miles a journey long, for You

Into the place at which You were

Their frankincense, gold, and myrrh

They came to You and cried out, "Hallelujah!"

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I know You came to rescue me

This Baby Boy would grow to be

A Man who'd one day die for me and you

Our sins will drive the nails in You

That rugged cross, was my cross too

And every breath You drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah!

Monday's Mourning Ministry - My Soul Is Worn Out ~ I Saw My Daddy / To Where You Are ~Josh Groban

Monday's Mourning Ministry

My Soul is Worn Out

~

I Saw My Daddy

/

To Where You Are

~Josh Groban

My Soul Is Worn Out

My soul is worn out

From its fretting about

Things I can't control

That wage war with my soul...

His love compels us,

Not frenetic angst~

The Love of Jesus,

Not fighting against...

God reaches in love ~

He touches our pain,

Draws our eyes above ~

For He killed death's bane.

Death is but shadow

That blocks out the sun;

Light is what matters

Restored by the Son.

The dark will not stay

For His love breaks through,

Turns death's night to day ~

Eternal Rescue.

To get through death's night ~

"See" by faith, not sight!

*****

I Saw My Daddy...

I saw my Daddy last night

When I looked by faith, not sight...

He looked so debonair

So handsome, young, with dark hair...

I shared with him it was hard

When to his doctor I'd implored,

"Is there not a way to save

My precious daddy from the grave...?"

When there was none, I'd had to share

the news with him, and watch him stare...

Daddy smiled at me, and said,

"It's okay baby: I'm not dead!"

Of course! Startled, I recognized,

I'm talking to him! He's alive!

Then I turned to him as my dad,

"I lost my baby, I'm so sad!"

He hugged me close and said, "I know."

I cried, recalled his child-loss blow,

And knew anew he understood

A parent's angst in Death's Wood.

He hugged me close; I felt his warmth

As his tenderness all 'round me swarmed.

"You've got to look by faith my child

Your baby's not dead; she's alive!"

So sweet to spend time with my dad

And remember true ~ Life's not all sad...

Father, I can hardly wait

To see my loved ones at Heav'ns Gate!

God looks down in sweetest peace ~

"He can see now...who by faith, sees!"

"Humbled Lord, I fall to my knees,

Open th' eyes of my soul Lord, please!"

*****

To Where You Are

~Josh Groban

Who can say for certain

Maybe you're still here

I feel you all around me

Your memories so clear

Deep in the stillness

I can hear you speak

You're still an inspiration

Can it be?

That you are mine

Forever love

And you are watching over me

From up above

Fly me up to where you are

Beyond the distant star

I wish upon tonight

To see you smile

If only for awhile

To know you're there

A breath away's not far

To where you are

Are you gently sleeping

Here inside my dream

And isn't faith believing

All power can't be seen

As my heart holds you

Just one beat away

I cherish all you gave me

Every day

Cause you are mine

Forever love

Watching me from up above

And I believe that angels breathe

And that love will live on

And never leave

Fly me up

To where you are

Beyond the distant star

I wish upon tonight

To see you smile

If only for awhile

To know you're there

A breath away's not far

To where you are

I know you're there

A breath away's not far

To where you are.

Blessed Thanksgiving - Under Your Wings / "The Prayer" ~Celtic Woman

Blessed Thanksgiving

Under Your Wings

~

"The Prayer" ~Celtic Woman

Under Your Wings...

My child who rests under Your wings,

Lifts her voice to You and sings ~

God who longs to gather us near,

Hold us close, and catch each tear ~

Surrounded by Your love each day,

We walk in peace midst grief's way.

May we too rest under Your wings

Like Your fragile bird who sings

Despite the cold, amidst the storm,

Knowing You're there to keep him warm.

Keep our hearts at rest in Thee.

Within grief's glow, Your face we'll see,

E'en as our child looks up at Thee...

*****

"The Prayer"

~Celtic Woman

I pray You'll be our eyes

And watch us where we go--

And help us to be wise

In times when we don't know...

Let this be our prayer

As we go our way:

Lead us to a place,

Guide us with Your grace,

To a place where we'll be safe.

I pray we'll find Your light

And hold it in our hearts;

When stars go out each night,

Remind us where You are.

Let this be our prayer

When shadows fill our day:

Lead us to a place,

Guide us with Your grace,

Give us faith so we'll be safe.

(Interlude)

We ask that life be kind

And watch us from above;

We hope each soul will find

Another soul to love...

Let this be our prayer:

Just like every child

Needs to find a place

Guide us with Your grace

Give us faith so we'll be safe.

Need to find a place,

Guide us with Your grace,

Give us faith so we'll be safe.

He who dwells in the shelter

of the Most High

will rest in the shadow of

the Almighty...

He will cover you with His

feathers,

and under His wings you

will find refuge...

~Psalm 91:1,4a

I call on You, O God, for

You will answer me;

give ear to me and hear

my prayer.

Show the wonder of Your

great love,

You who save by Your right

hand

those who take refuge in

You from their foes.

Keep me as the apple of

Your eye;

hide me in the shadow of

Your wings...

~Psalm 17:6-8

How priceless is Your

unfailing love!

Both high and low among

men

find refuge in the shadow

of Your wings.

They feast on the abundance

of Your house;

You give them drink from

Your river of delights.

For with You is the fountain

of life;

in Your light we see

light.

~Psalm 36:7-9

Have mercy on me, O God,

have mercy on me,

for in You my soul takes

refuge.

I will take refuge in the

shadow of Your wings

until the disaster has

passed.

I cry out to God Most High,

to God, who fulfills His

purpose for me.

He sends from heaven and

saves me...

~Psalm 57:1-3a

Hear my cry, O God;

listen to my prayer.

From the ends of the earth I

call to You,

I call as my heart grows

faint;

lead me to the rock that is

higher than I.

For You have been my

refuge,

a strong tower against the

foe.

I long to dwell in Your tent

forever

and take refuge in the

shelter of Your wings.

Selah.

~Psalm 61:1-4

O God, You are my God,

earnestly I seek You;

my soul thirsts for You,

my body longs for You,

in a dry and weary land

where there is no water.

I have seen You in the

sanctuary

and beheld Your power

and Your glory.

Because Your love is better

than life,

my lips will glorify You.

I will praise You as long as I

live,

and in Your name I will lift

up my hands.

My soul will be satisfied as

with the richest of foods;

with singing lips my mouth

will praise You.

On my bed I remember You;

I think of You through the

watches of the night.

Because You are my help,

I sing in the shadow of

Your wings.

I stay close to You;

Your right hand upholds

me.

~Psalm 63:1-8
