This song is my testimony of salvation. The turning point in my life came when God got me to a place where I had to be still.
Be Still; Psalm 46:10
This song is based on some favorite verses and phrases from the Bible, given to me by my friend Lori, at Frog's Lilypad. I also used some thoughts that she shared with me, as well as some other related scriptures. Lori's favorite phrase in the Bible is 'be still.' It's one of mine too, so right away, I knew the title of the song would be, Be Still.
New Every Day Lamentations 3:22-23
Great is our Lord, and greatly to be praised! I'm so thankful that God's mercies are new every day!
My All In All Psalm 23
Now and then, I write a song based on favorite verses, Bible stories, and thoughts given to me by others. I take the information they give me, add thoughts and scriptures from my own study, and hopefully come up with lyrics. This song was based on answers given by a fellow blogger, Mary. It's one of my favorites.
More Than I Could Dream
From my sister, Victoria, "I would tell people it's not enough to lead people to Christ....you have to show them how to live for Christ, and the best way to do that is live your life in front of them."

(4 bar intro)
I come before your throne,
Of grace in time of need, finding mercy there......
Kneeling at your feet, no words describe the peace,
I'm in your presence, oh, Lord........
You reach down to me, with acceptance and love....
You make me alive, with the power of your touch........
Kneeling at your feet, ....
Lord, I can see your glory, your power, your majesty......
You opened my eyes to such wonderful things......
I give my whole heart, to you, my Lord and King..........
Kneeling at your feet,
Lord, I can see your glory, your power, your majesty.........
I lift up my voice..... I lift up my hands.
I praise you, oh Lord, with all that I am.......
Blessing and honour, to you, I sing
forever, my awesome King.......
Forever, my awesome King........

I originally wrote this song for my sister in law, Pauline, based on info that she sent me. I later made some slight changes to make the song less specific to Pauline’s experience, and more relatable to others. I added in some wording from Hebrews 4:16, which speaks of coming boldly before God’s throne of grace.
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
often pray the whole book and ask God to make this true of me.
Psalm 119:2,3......18........111....165...
I also love the story of David dancing before bringing the Ark into Jerusalem. I
just love that he put his heart and soul into it without a thought of anyone else.
My theme would be about worship. And the sound would be the same.
I imagine hearing angels and seeing people lift up their hands and voices to our
Awesome King. My heart is to worship with everything that I am. I often cry during a worship song that really touches me.
And the word of God is so passionate to me as well.
I also had an amazing experience. I was going through a very hard time and I was in my bed crying so hard that I could hardly cry anymore, and I called out to God.
I was sitting at His feet at the throne. And I looked up and saw His hand on the arm of the throne. Rays of light were beaming from His hand. Then He reached down and touched the top of my head. I can't hardly describe the immense feeling I felt. I felt like everything within me was alive. I felt love and acceptance to the highest degree imaginable.
God gave me this verse..
Habakkuk 3:4 "His radiance is like the sunlight; He has rays flashing from His
hand, And there is the hiding of His power."
From the NASB
So that's why my theme would be about worship. He touched me and that's what my heart wants to do. He always gives me confirmations of His love and touch for me. And all I want to do is just tell Him how much I love Him.
He Was Always There

~4 bar intro~
It seems so long ago, the day that I was saved,
As I retrace the steps I've made on my meand'ring way.
At times it seemed I stumbled through a darkened forest maze,
and only glimpsed the Sonlight, filtered through a misty haze.
~
But, He was always there, waiting patiently.
Yes, Jesus always cared, and always walked with me.
~
Though often I would say, "Some things just don't seem right,"
I didn't heed the still small voice.I let men be my guide,
until my Saviour reached out,and he pulled me to his side.
He said, "Just follow closer, and you'll walk within my light."
~
Yes, He was always there, waiting patiently.
Yes, Jesus always cared, and always walked with me.
~
Oh, now that I am through that dark and cloudy place,
I've stepped into the Sonlight of my Saviour's warm embrace.
My heart is overflowing with such thankfulness and praise.
I finally know the meaning of God's mercy and His grace.
~
Yes, He was always there, waiting patiently.
Yes, Jesus always cared, and always walked with me.
~
Yes, He is always there, waiting patiently.
Yes, Jesus always cares, and always walks with me.

Psalm 89:13-16 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. Justice and judgement are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: They shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance. In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall be exalted.
Isaiah 2:5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.
Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes, He is always there, and even when we seem to have lost our way, all we had to do was take a step closer, and walk in the light of his word. Our God is faithful and full of mercy and grace!
