Looking for Life © 2013 D Rasmussen She walks around the old cemetery, looking for life under all of the stones. Many secrets hiding in dark places, voices calling, the demons are faceless. * The more she walks in, the deeper it gets. Depression clouds want to bury her yet. The stones promise life, love, … Read more

Happily Ever After?

This song is in response to the Daily Post: Fantasy The Tooth Fairy (or Easter Bunny, or Santa Claus . . .) : a fun and harmless fiction, or a pointless justification for lying to children?

Changing my vision

by

Sometimes, I just gotta stop and change what I am looking at. Am I living in the problem or the solution?  Whatever I look at more is what will get magnified.  If I look at my problems all day, I get depressed.  If I look at the solution – Jesus and His Word, I have … Read more

Better Than a Hallelujah

BETTER THAN A HALLELUJAH

by Amy Grant

God loves a lullaby
In a mother’s tears in the dead of night
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes

God loves the drunkard’s cry
The soldier’s plea not to let him die
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes

We pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
Beautiful, the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah

The woman holding on for life
The dying man giving up the fight
Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes

The tears of shame for what’s been done
The silence when the words won’t come
Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes

We pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
Beautiful, the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah

Better than a church bell ringing
Better than a choir singing out, singing out

We pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
Beautiful, the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah

We pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
Beautiful, the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah

(Better than a Hallelujah sometimes)
Better than a Hallelujah
(Better than a Hallelujah sometimes)

A Long Ago and Faraway Place

A Long Ago And Faraway Place

Collaborative song with CU Productions, Scott Guthre, Diana Rasmussen

V1
I remember a time, when I felt you near,
An awe struck child with stars in my eyes
Anticipating, expecting grace.
A long ago, far away place.

How did I get here, where did I miss my turn?
I’m tired of walking alone.
I miss your smile, the love in your eyes,
My long ago, far away place.

CHORUS
I’ve come to my senses, leavin’ the past behind.
Your ways are higher, Your plans are good.
I’m Coming back, I want to go home.

V2
When troubles surround me,
When trials come my way,
I set my mind on things above,
and a Long ago far away place.

I lay down my worldly wisdom,
Become a child again.
Rest in your presence Lord,
My Long ago far away place.

BRIDGE
I follow in your footprints Lord,
ask you “Daddy where we going to?
You take my hand, You say to me,
“To a long ago far away place”

REPEAT CHORUS,  REPEAT VERSE 1,  REPEAT CHORUS

GOD’S PROMISE TO YOU:

“But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:31 NKJV)

 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30 NIV)

MY PRAYER FOR YOU:

Dear Lord,

I ask you to break the yokes of heavy burdens today.  Let us rest in Your presence.  Let us fly like the eagle above the world it’s problems.  We choose to put our trust in You today.   Thank you Jesus!

Ready to “Flangiprop”?

by

DAILY PROMPT

Invent a definition for the word “flangiprop,” then use the word in a post. 

Flangiprop:  What happens when you spontaneously break out in dance; and then get so dizzy spinning around that you fall down and hit the wall!

The funny thing is I went to Google to see if this really was a word, and all you see are our posts!  I guess it’s a word now!

Diana was found flangiproping today, after listening to random music. She better settle down, its almost time to go to work!

Here’s some fun choices if you’d like to join me….

Yep, I know I need help….Here’s hoping you are dancing today! 🙂

He is Prince of Peace in the storm, He is the King of Kings.
