Awesome God
Recently I have been listening to songs of faith from my childhood. I remember these being taught by my teachers at school as young as 4 years old. Today I was met with another attack from the enemy in my family. I listened to my loved one and hopefully encouraged. When the talk was over I prayed and closed my eyes and rested. When I found I couldn't go back to sleep a seed of discouragement entered my mind. That's when this song came to mind. Thank you Mrs. Meyers wherever you be! In 7th grade you made our class memorize this song.
When I could have been discouraged or feel hopeless this came to mind. This morning, I realized that normal emotions that would weigh me down weren't there. When faced with such a blatant attack from satan, the ultimate schemer, I had a praise on my lips. Thank you God!!! Thank you God for the teachers you have placed in my life! Praise God! Please see the lyrics and video below for the song Awesome God by Rich Mullins.
Psalms 30:5
For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may last for the night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning.
Lamentations 3:22-24
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.”
Malachi 4:2
But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall.
Psalm 5:1-3
Listen to my words, O Lord, give heed to my sighing and groaning. Hear the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to You do I pray. In the morning You hear my voice, O Lord; in the morning I prepare [a prayer, a sacrifice] for You and watch and wait [for You to speak to my heart].
Awesome God by Rich Mullins
When He rolls up His sleeves
He ain't just putting on the ritz
(Our God is an awesome God)
There's thunder in His footsteps
And lightning in His fists
(Our God is an awesome God)
And the Lord wasn't joking
When He kicked 'em out of Eden
It wasn't for no reason
That He shed His blood
His return is very close
And so you better be believing that
Our God is an awesome God
CHORUS:
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
CHORUS
And when the sky was starless
In the void of the night
(Our God is an awesome God)
He spoke into the darkness
And created the light
(Our God is an awesome God)
Judgement and wrath He poured out on Sodom
Mercy and grace He gave us at the cross
I hope that we have not
Too quickly forgotten that
Our God is an awesome God
CHORUS(4x)
Our God is an awesome God
(Our God is an awesome God)
He reigns from heaven above
(He reigns from heaven above)
With wisdom, power, and love
(With wisdom, power, and love)
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
Psalms 30:5
For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may last for the night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning.

Angels by MC Jin
First of all, I think it's a little weird to be able to google lyrics to a song. Lol! It's odd to think that someone wrote words to a song, produced the song
and published the song to the world and now with minimal effort, I can
search and within seconds bring up lyrics. In seconds I can find words that may have taken a person a
long time to write. That said, I'm really grateful for the ability to do this because the words in this song are so important in this season in my life.
The past few weeks the Lord has been using a few songs to minister to me and push me from old strongholds to a new season, prayerfully a more healthy season in my life. The first song he used to get my attention was Angels by MC Jin. Download the mixtape 'Say Something'. This song is included on the mixtape among several enjoyable tracks. You can also see the video and lyrics for Angels below. I've been rolling around with this song for a few years and liked the sentiment of the song. However, the Lord recently slowed me down and had me to really listen to the words.
The song starts with:
You know I gotta say something/The beginning and the end, what's the difference between the two?/I mean I'm still trying to figure it out/I know one thing/I'm just getting started/You know all that stuff that happened in the past?/I ain't even thinking about that/It's about right now/And it's about moving forward
I often beat myself up for things in the past and mistakes that I've made. However, the Lord has been saying to me He is pulling forth the seeds He's planted in me and will bring out the harvest. Even though I've made mistakes in the past, God's forgiveness, grace and mercy covers all of my sins and I get another chance to move forward and not to be held back from my past.
The song goes on to say:
Eyes closed, salty tears all I could taste/Fall on my knees/Fall on my face/They say put God first and everything else will fall into place....For what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world/Then lose his soul/For the longest I was riding high, cruise control/In my own mind making up the rules as I go/I swear it's not just my imagination/I heard a voice guiding me, navigation/Is it the road I chose or should I check the steering/Took a couple wrong turns, selective hearing
There are SO many times when I try to do things my way and not God's way. Then I am heartbroken and frustrated when things don't go well. Many times I end up falling, then in tears I go to God and finally surrender and get instructions to do things His way. If I put God first, even in struggles I can have peace. When I strive for heavenly goals instead of earthly goals or try to please God instead of others, the result is joy, peace and satisfaction. The more time I spend with God the more I can hear what He wants me to do in different situations. In this new season it has been amazing to experience what He wants me to do or say to others. I'm so grateful that our God is a faithful and patient Father and picks me up, corrects me and helps me whenever I need it!
It continues to say:
it took me time to get my vision back.../Still you never find me under pressure/Like the last drop of toothpaste/My mission is never been more clear
This is my FAVORITE part of the song! :-D There have been times that I felt the weight of an elephant on me in the midst of an intense struggle. Yet, when I pray, when I'm in God's house, or with fellow believers this weight is lifted. The Lord wants for me (for us) to be calm in the midst of our storms and sometimes he will even allow our storms to stop (Matthew 8:23-27). Jesus experienced great suffering in His life and chose not to get out of it, but to face it for His greater purpose. The Lord has shared with me in this season that although I will struggle that if I lean on Him for wisdom, comfort and defense that the struggle will not be so hard.
Next it says:
No surprise the wool over my eyes has been lifted/My entire perspective has been shifted/I am no quitter/My journey's just begun/I stand firm/The enemy don't phase me/No need to wonder...
The more I learn about God, the more I can recognize the devil and his tricks! The Lord is teaching me to have an eternal focus and not to be in distress over temporary things. There's a reason the Bible says not to be weary doing good (Galatians 6:9). It is hard to continually chose God over our own desires. Fortunately, we have the Bible, the Holy Spirit and other believers to teach us, help us, comfort us and guide us. I have a ways to go still, but PRAISE GOD, I'm not where I use to be!!!
Grand Finale:
ONLY GOD CAN SAVE ME
I want to remember that my help comes from God and to stop doing things on my own and my way. (Proverbs 3:5).
Angels by MC Jin
[Intro:]
You know I gotta say something;
The beginning and the end, what's the difference between the two?
I mean I'm still trying to figure it out
I know one thing
I'm just getting started
You know all that stuff that happened in the past?
I ain't even thinking about that
It's about right now
And it's about moving forward
[Verse 1:]
Uh, Check, Check, Yo..
Dear God, I wonder can you save me
The more it makes sense
The more they claim that I'm crazy
I had to be for them to see me this calm
All reality, uh-uh, no TV sitcom
My pure will got me stolen from Grace
Eyes closed, salty tears all I could taste
Fall on my knees
Fall on my face
They say put God first and everything else will fall into place
So I've heard
Wise words got me thinking
Gotta give it time to let it sink in
I sound confused, I know
For what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world
Then lose his soul
For the longest I was riding high, cruise control
In my own mind making up the rules as I go
I swear it's not just my imagination
I heard a voice guiding me, navigation
Is it the road I chose or should I check the steering
Took a couple wrong turns, selective hearing
Is it fact or just my premonition?
I see what's going on now, High Definition
Nothing but lies, I was living that
Wasted like lasiks, it took me time to get my vision back
Learned to recognize the fakes and the true snakes
So called friends, you know the two-faced
All in my grill like a toothache
Still you never find me under pressure
Like the last drop of toothpaste
My mission is never been more clear
The truth is never been more near
But I know I can't do it on my own
So I pray you give me strength when I lift the microphone
All I hear is "Jin, What happened to the old you?"
See I could explain but I would rather show you
Word, check it out y'all
Cause actions speak louder than words
So it don't matter how I mix the nouns with the verbs
New fans are glad, God anointed my style
Old fans wanna know "What will I rap about now?"
Switch it up?
Yo, I gots to do it
The word is Jin's putting out Gospel music
See, I prefer to call it "Change-Your-Life" music
All in hopes that one day you might use it
Whatever they choose to label it, so be it
I proceed it
All I know is, I so need it
I'm certain that I can't rap forever
Before the curtain call I gotta get my act together
No surprise the wool over my eyes has been lifted
My entire perspective has been shifted
I can't call it
You can call it how you feel
Call it change, call it growth
As long as you call it real
I am no quitter
My journey's just begun
You are all welcome to follow, no Twitter
I know plenty of folks that wanna touch the gates of Heaven
Never been to church cause they can't relate to Reverends
Ain't no sense in me preaching to the Choir
Even with scorched arms
I'll be reaching through the fire
I stand firm
The enemy don't phase me
No need to wonder...

Can we talk for a mintue Nick?
When has it been cool to be in chains for love? I really just wanted to give Nick a hug after listening to the song and say love should set you free, not hold you in bondage. While you are busy not "changing a thing", you are knee deep in a self-made prison. THIS is not real love you're singing about. Be Free! I'm reminded of the world's twisted view of love and how it is acceptable to be caught up and stay in situations/relationships that are not healthy.
Be Free!!! "You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love." (Galatians 5:13)
"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." (Galatians 5:1)
The word says that love has no fear and has no punishment (1 John 4:16-18), detests evil (Romans 12:9-13), and if we do not love we are dead (1 John 3:10-17). And of course the standard definition of what love is: Love is patient, love is kind, love is not jealous, it does not boast, it does not become conceited, it does not behave dishonorably, it is not selfish, it does not become angry, it does not keep a record of wrongs, it does not rejoice at unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth, bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. (1 Corinthians 13: 4-8)
Just a few things I would share with Nick if I had a chance. Then I would tell him I love his Jealous song (now don't go analyzing those lyrics because they aren't a whole lot better). Lol!
For some real freedom songs check out: http://youtu.be/kvtQ2Y4JCgY?list=PLUN9LvlguAojnkIEXSe4z3fBu-cf7Deq6
"Chains"
With her wine-stained lips, yeah she nothin but trouble
Cold to the touch but she's warm as a devil
I gave all my heart but she won't heal my soul
She takes 'till I break and I can't get more
You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn't change, no I wouldn't change this love
You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn't change, no I wouldn't change this love
Tryna break the chains but the chains only bring me
(Hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey)
Tryna break the chains but the chains only bring me
Alone in the night 'til she knocks on my door
Oh no, wasted again but I can't say no (no)
Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Gave you my heart but you took my soul
You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn't change, no I wouldn't change this love
You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn't change, no I wouldn't change this love
Tryna break the chains but the chains only bring me
(Hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey)
Tryna break the chains but the chains only bring me
Hey-ey-ey-ey [x4]
You got me in...
Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Gave you my heart but you took my soul
You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn't change, no I wouldn't change this love
You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn't change, no I wouldn't change this love
Tryna break the chains but the chains only bring me

Who would win?
Who would win in a fight MJ or Prince? I must say I think it would be Prince. I hate to say it but...Prince. I think Prince would cut you and MJ would give you a hug and tell you that you need to calm down and give peace a chance. I definitely wouldn't want to be kicked by Prince's heels. That being said, MJ is a better role model, I mean violence isn't the answer right?
Maybe these videos will help you make a decision. Michael's Bad and Prince's Face Down
