The IE Mommy

What is it about music? It can lift you up, make you cry, refresh your spirit and soul, make you proud, make you humble…something stirs deep inside you and makes you respond to the music.

I don’t think more so then beautiful words that praise my Lord and Saviour Jesus.

While Sing Along Sunday can and will showcase any of my favorites from Rock, Christian, 80’s or Country…my ultimate favorites are the ones that lift my hands in praise.

It’s been a while but once again I bring you a sensational Sing Along Sunday…ENJOY!

“I try to hold on to this world with everything I have
But I feel the weight of what it brings, and the hurt that tries to grab
The many trials that seem to never end, His word declares this truth,
that we will enter in this rest with wonders anew

But I hold on to this hope and the promise that He brings
That there will be a place with no more suffering

(Chorus)
There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more, we’ll see Jesus face to face
But until that day, we’ll hold on to you always

I know the journey seems so long
You feel you’re walking on your own
But there has never been a step
Where you’ve walked out all alone

(Chorus)

Troubled soul don’t lose your heart
Cause joy and peace he brings
And the beauty that’s in store
Outweighs the hurt of life’s sting

I can’t wait until that day where the very one I’ve lived for always will wipe away the sorrow that I’ve faced
To touch the scars that rescued me from a life of shame and misery this is why this is why I sing”

***Tissue Alert***

There’s a time to live
And a time to die
There’s a time to laugh
And a time to cry
There’s a time for war
And a time for peace
There’s a hand to hold
In the worst of these

He is with you when your faith is dead
And you can’t even get out of bed
Or your husband doesn’t kiss you anymore
He is with you when your baby’s gone
And your house is still,
And your heart’s a stone
Cryin’ God, what’d You do that for
He is with you

There’s a time for yes
And a time for no
There’s a time to be angry
And a time to let it go
There is a time to run
And a time to face it
There is love to see you
Through all of this

He is with you in the conference room
When the world is coming down on you
And your wife and kids don’t know you anymore
He is with you in the ICU
When the doctors don’t know what to do
And it scares you to the core
He is with you

We may weep for a time
But joy will come in the morning
The morning light

He is with you when your kids are grown
When there’s too much space
And you feel alone
And you’re worried if you
got it right or wrong
Yes He is with you
when you’ve given up on ever finding your true love
Someone who feels like home
He is with you

When nothing else is left
And you take your final breath
He is with you

What Does The IE Mommy Think?:

So there I was listening to the Christian radio station, 89.7, when I heard one of my favorite songs … “More Beautiful You” by Jonny Diaz.   Haven’t heard of it? Well take a moment and listen to the video….I’ll wait.

So….?? Isn’t it a beautiful song? The lyrics, the meaning, the voice…it’s all just perfect. Well, anyway back to my story. I was listening to the Christian radio and thought “hey, I’ll put that song on my next “Sing Along Sunday” post.

I had just finished creating an advance post when I noticed an email in my box. You’ll never guess? I was invited to not only review* Jonny Diaz’ amazing New Cd but to offer FIVE IE Mommy readers there very own copy! Woohoo! No kidding it happened just like that!

Talk about timing!

I love this CD! More Beautiful You is without a doubt one of my favorites but I also found a few new favorites as well. Here’s the track list:

Lyrics:
She got the call today, one out of the grey
And when the smoke cleared, it took her breath away
She said she didn’t believe ‘it could happen to me’
I guess we’re all one phone call from our knees
We’re gonna get there soon

If every building falls, and all the stars fade
We’ll still be singing this song, the one they can’t take away
Gonna get there soon, she’s gonna be there too
Cryin’ in her room, prayin’ “Lord come through”
We’re gonna get there soon

(Chorus)
Oh it’s your light; oh it’s your way
You pull me out of the dark, just to show me the way
Cryin’ out now, from so far away
You pull me closer to love, closer to love

Meet me once again, down off Lake Michigan
Where we could feel the storm blowin’
Down with the wind
And don’t apologize for all the tears you’ve cried
You’ve been way too strong now for all your life
I’m gonna get there soon, you’re gonna be there too
Cryin’ in your room, prayin’ “Lord come through”
We’re gonna get there soon

(Chorus)
Cause you are all that I’ve waited for all my life
(We’re gonna get there)
You are all that I’ve waited for all my life
You pull me closer to love, closer to love
Pull me closer to love
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love, closer to love, closer to love
You pull me closer to love
