Psalm 34
„Voi binecuvânta pe Domnul în orice vreme; lauda Lui va fi totdeauna în gura mea.
Să mi se laude sufletul în Domnul! Să asculte cei nenorociţi şi să se bucure!
Înălţaţi pe Domnul împreună cu mine! Să lăudăm cu toţii Numele Lui!
Eu am căutat pe Domnul şi mi-a răspuns: m-a izbăvit din toate temerile mele.
Când îţi întorci privirile spre El, te luminezi de bucurie şi nu ţi se umple faţa de ruşine.
Când strigă un nenorocit, Domnul aude şi-l scapă din toate necazurile
lui. Îngerul Domnului tăbărăşte în jurul celor ce se tem de El şi-i scapă din
primejdie.
Gustaţi şi vedeţi ce bun este Domnul! Ferice de omul care se încrede în El!
Temeţi-vă de Domnul voi, sfinţii Lui, căci de nimic nu duc lipsă cei ce
se tem de El! Puii de leu duc lipsă şi li-i foame, dar cei ce caută pe
Domnul nu duc lipsă de niciun bine.
Veniţi, fiilor, şi ascultaţi-mă, căci vă voi învăţa frica de Domnul! Cine este omul care doreşte viaţa şi vrea să aibă parte de zile fericite? Fereşte-ţi limba de rău şi buzele de cuvinte înşelătoare! Depărtează-te de rău şi fă binele; caută pacea şi aleargă după ea!
Ochii Domnului sunt peste cei fără prihană şi urechile Lui iau aminte la
strigătele lor. Domnul Îşi întoarce Faţa împotriva celor răi, ca să le şteargă
pomenirea de pe pământ.
Când strigă cei fără prihană, Domnul aude şi-i scapă din toate necazurile lor.
Domnul este aproape de cei cu inima înfrântă şi mântuieşte pe cei cu duhul zdrobit.
De multe ori vine nenorocirea peste cel fără prihană, dar Domnul îl scapă totdeauna din ea. Toate oasele i le păzeşte, ca niciunul din ele să nu i se sfărâme.
Pe cel rău îl omoară nenorocirea, dar vrăjmaşii celui fără prihană sunt pedepsiţi. Domnul scapă sufletul robilor Săi şi niciunul din cei ce se încred în El nu este osândit.“
(Un psalm alcătuit de David când a făcut pe nebunul în faţa lui Abimelec
şi a plecat izgonit de el)
Amin.

ONE More Song For YOU!
Staring at this old piano
Playing through the memories that it holds
Singing through the stories that it's told
And all the prayers that have been lifted
The leaps of faith, the giants slain
Desperate cries, and broken praise
Have all the songs been sung?
Is there still room for ONE?
Maybe ONE more hand in the air saying You are Holy
One more shattered heart singing You are good
Maybe ONE more voice crying out for mercy
One more hungry soul declaring You're enough
As long as there's breath in me
Lord, there will always be
ONE more song for You
ONE more song for You
What can I offer You but weakness?
All my life I tried to hide
You brought it all into the light
I'm still amazed that You would choose me
If You can use the least of these
Then there is no one You can't reach
In a world that's lost its song
Show them there's still room for ONE.
Maybe ONE more hand in the air saying You are Holy
One more shattered heart singing You are good
Maybe ONE more voice crying out for mercy
One more hungry soul declaring You're enough
As long as there's breath in me
Lord, there will always be
ONE more song.
With no one here but You to listen
My heat is bursting at the seams
Out of all the songs I've lifted what I truly hope to see
Is one more broken life made whole
ONE more prodigal brought home
What better way to praise Your Name and Majesty.
Than ONE more hand in the air saying You are Holy
One more shattered heart singing You are good
Maybe ONE more voice crying out for mercy
One more hungry soul declaring You're enough
As long as there's breath in me
Lord, there will always be
ONE more song for You
ONE more song for YOU!
AMEN.

Your Way is BEST (For Samira♥)
I still remember when I heard You call me by name
I’d follow You anywhere, knew I could trust You with anything
But now sorrow beats down on me, waiting for You to come through
I’m all alone with my questions, I’m dry and cracked open
I thirst for You
And as I fall apart
Come flood this desert heart
Come flood this desert heart
Fall like the rain, living water
And I know Your way is best
Lord, help me find my rest
And I’ll be the clay in the hands of the Potter
My world is spinning, my life seems so out of control
Nailed scarred hands tell the story of Love that will never let go of me
Through the sunshine or rain, I know where my hope is found
What You started in me I know You will complete from the inside out
And as I fall apart
Come flood this desert heart
Come flood this desert heart
Fall like the rain, living water
And I know Your way is best
Lord, help me find my rest
And I’ll be the clay in the hands of the Potter
My world is breaking me
Your Love is shaping me
And now the enemy is afraid of what You’re making me
And as I fall apart
Come flood this desert heart
Come flood this desert heart
Fall like the rain, living water
And I know Your way is best
Lord, help me find my rest
And I’ll be the clay in the hands of the Potter
And I’ll be the clay in the hands of the Potter...
Amen.

Nobody
Why You ever chose me
Has always been a mystery
All my life, I've been told I belong
At the end of a line
With all the other Not-Quites
With all the Never-Get-It-Rights
But it turns out they are the ones You were looking for
All this time
'Cause I'm just a nobody trying to tell everybody
All about Somebody who saved my soul
Ever since You rescued me, You gave my heart a song to sing
I'm living for the world to see nobody but Jesus
I'm living for the world to see nobody but Jesus
Moses had stage fright
And David brought a rock to a sword fight
You picked twelve outsiders nobody would've chosen
And You changed the world
Well, the moral of the story is
Everybody's got a purpose
So when I hear that devil start talking to me, saying
"Who do you think you are?" I say…
I'm just a nobody trying to tell everybody
All about Somebody who saved my soul
Ever since You rescued me, You gave my heart a song to sing
I'm living for the world to see nobody but Jesus
I'm living for the world to see nobody but Jesus
So let me go down, down, down in history
As another blood-bought faithful member of the family
And if they all forget my name, well, that's fine with me
I'm living for the world to see nobody but Jesus
So let me go down, down, down in history (Go down in history)
As another blood-bought faithful member of the family (It's all I ever wanna be)
And if they all forget my name, well, that's fine with me
I'm living for the world to see nobody but Jesus, yeah!
I'm just a nobody (Nobody)
Trying to tell everybody
All about Somebody
Who saved my soul (Oh, saved my, saved my soul)
Ever since You rescued me
You gave my heart a song to sing (You gave me a song to sing)
I'm living for the world to see
Nobody but Jesus (Nobody but You, Lord)
I'm living for the world to see nobody but JESUS!
Amen.

YOU roll the Thunder
Day by day, I'm learning how to stay
In the middle of the storm
I'm learning where to lay my head
And step by step, I'm learning how to listen
In the middle of the noise
I will listen for Your still small Voice
So let the thunder roll
And I won't be afraid, 'cause YOU roll the thunder
And let the rain beat hard
Upon my roof, and I'll dance to its rhythm
And let the mighty wind
Blow between the oak trees
As I let You steady me
'Cause You're right here in the whisper
Of my heart
Breath by breath, I'm learning what You say
When You told me I could TRUST
Even when the storm is raging on
And song by song, I will sing of YOUR GREAT LOVE
While You're singing it back to me
With the very voice that calmed the sea
So let the thunder roll
And I won't be afraid, 'cause YOU roll the thunder
And let the rain beat hard
Upon my roof, and I'll dance to its rhythm
And let the mighty wind
Blow between the oak trees
As I let You steady me
'Cause You're right here in the whisper
You're right here
So say peace be still
To every beat of my heart
Say peace be still
To every thought in my head
I know Your voice, and I will listen and obey
Every time You call, in the night
So let the thunder roll
And I won't be afraid, 'cause You roll the thunder
And let the rain beat hard
Upon my roof, and I'll dance to its rhythm
And let the mighty wind
Blow between the oak trees
As I let You steady me
'Cause You're right here in the whisper
You're right here in the whisper
You're right here in the whisper
Of my heart.
In the middle of the storm
I'm learning where to lay my head
And step by step, I'm learning how to listen
In the middle of the noise
I will listen for Your still small Voice
So let the thunder roll
And I won't be afraid, 'cause YOU roll the thunder
And let the rain beat hard
Upon my roof, and I'll dance to its rhythm
And let the mighty wind
Blow between the oak trees
As I let You steady me
'Cause You're right here in the whisper
Of my heart
Breath by breath, I'm learning what You say
When You told me I could TRUST
Even when the storm is raging on
And song by song, I will sing of YOUR GREAT LOVE

Blow between the oak trees

You're right here
So say peace be still
To every beat of my heart
Say peace be still
To every thought in my head
I know Your voice, and I will listen and obey
Every time You call, in the night
So let the thunder roll
And I won't be afraid, 'cause You roll the thunder

GOD rules over the nations
Psalm 2
„Pentru ce se
întărâtă neamurile şi pentru ce cugetă popoarele lucruri deşarte?
Împăraţii
pământului se răscoală şi domnitorii se sfătuiesc împreună împotriva Domnului
şi împotriva Unsului Său, zicând: „Să le rupem legăturile şi să scăpăm de
lanţurile lor!”
Cel ce şade în
ceruri râde, Domnul Îşi bate joc de ei. Apoi, în mânia Lui,
le vorbeşte şi-i îngrozeşte cu urgia Sa, zicând: „Totuşi Eu am uns
pe Împăratul Meu pe Sion, muntele Meu cel sfânt.”„Eu voi vesti
hotărârea Lui”, zice Unsul. „Domnul Mi-a zis: ‘Tu eşti Fiul Meu! Astăzi Te-am
născut. Cere-Mi şi-Ţi voi
da neamurile de moştenire şi marginile pământului în stăpânire! Tu le vei zdrobi cu
un toiag de fier şi le vei sfărâma ca pe vasul unui olar.’”
Acum dar, împăraţi,
purtaţi-vă cu înţelepciune! Luaţi învăţătură, judecătorii pământului!
Slujiţi Domnului cu frică şi bucuraţi-vă
tremurând.
Daţi cinste Fiului, ca să nu Se mânie şi să nu
pieriţi pe calea voastră, căci mânia Lui este gata să se aprindă! Ferice de
toţi câţi se încred în El!“
Amin.
Atotputernic
"Dacă nu zideşte Domnul o casă, degeaba lucrează cei ce o zidesc; dacă nu păzeşte Domnul o cetate, degeaba veghează cel ce o păzeşte" BIBLIA

Keep the Light On (For Sarah ♥ Remember)
The moon is sitting
in his favourite moment
The stars are by his side
But I can tell it's gonna take you a minute
Before you sleep tonight
And I know that you might feel alone
In the quiet of the night
And how you long to keep the light on

And a LIGHT to your path
And Jesus promised to be with you
Where you are, where you are
And you don't have to be afraid of the dark anymore
Because His Truth will keep the Light on IN YOUR HEART
Yes, His Truth will keep the Light on
This old world is gonna keep on spinning
But you're gonna be alright
‘Cause there's not a minute that He's not here in it
Standing by your side
And I know that you might feel alone
In the mystery tonight
But you can always keep the LIGHT on
in his favourite moment
The stars are by his side
But I can tell it's gonna take you a minute

And a LIGHT to your path
And Jesus promised to be WITH YOU

Yes, His truth will
keep the Light on….
YOU'll keep your heart burning, pure and clean
If you'll let His light shine on everything
And bring all that's broken
Into the brightness of JESUS
And He will light up YOUR LIFE like the Tennessee sky
YOU'll glow in the dark like a firefly
And YOU‘ll stand like a LIGHTHOUSE
A beacon of HOPE in the night
Because His WORD is a lamp
And a LIGHT to your path
And Jesus promised to be with you
Where you are, where you are
And you don't have to be afraid of the dark anymore

In your heart, in your heart
HE's gonna keep the light on
HE's gonna keep the light on…
In your heart, in your heart
HE's gonna keep the light on
HE's gonna keep the light on…
Till You’ll meet Him.
Amen.
Amen.

Despre Vot (Not of this World)
„Cetățenia noastră este în
ceruri”
Fragment
dintr-o scrisoare scrisă în 4 Septembrie 1919, Vevey, Elveția
"Nu
trebuie să căutăm în Scriptură justificare pentru gândurile noastre, ci noi să
ne corectăm gândurile prin Cuvânt. Nici un cuvânt din Scriptură nu îl
încuviinţează pe un credincios să voteze.
Cel
credincios nu este din lume, după cum nici Domnul nu este din lume (Ioan
17:14,16 ): „Cetăţenia noastră este în ceruri“ (Filipeni 3:20 ). În Epistola
către Romani 13:1-7 , ni se descriu care sunt datoriile noastre civice,
datoriile de străini în mijlocul lumii: a fi supus autorităţilor (ceea ce nu
înseamnă să le stabileşti) şi a-ți plăti impozitele. Dacă mă va obliga cineva
să votez, voi pune un buletin de vot în alb.
Autoritatea
este hotărâtă de Dumnezeu. Eu trebuie s-o recunosc, dar nu să o stabilesc; ea
este de la Dumnezeu, indiferent în ce mâini se află. În timpul apostolului
Pavel, această autoritate se afla în mâinile lui Nero - cel mai teribil dintre
împăraţii romani, un tiran, un despot. Sub domnia lui, Pavel a spus: „Oricine
să fie supus stăpânirilor celor mai înalte; căci nu există stăpânire care să nu
vină de la Dumnezeu“ (Romani 13:1 ).
Se va spune
că noi nu mai suntem sub o putere despotică, ci suntem democraţi, republicani
etc. Dar, în democraţie, poporul este suveran însă cel credincios nu este sub
nicio formă suveran în lumea din care nu mai face parte; el este străin, pentru
că este din cer. Ori cel care votează face un act de suveranitate şi nu de
supunere.
Lumea se
află într-un curent al răului care nu se va putea opri decât prin judecata lui
Dumnezeu, aşa că niciun om credincios nu va putea opri curentul răului. Numai
Dumnezeu poate să Se servească de autorităţi, pentru că acestea sunt de la El;
El le va menţine, dar nu este treaba noastră să le stabilim.
Tot sistemul
lumii reprezintă o stare de lucruri, iar cel credincios se află în afara
acestui sistem. Însuşi Domnul este în afară şi va fi până când va lua în mână
împărăţia Sa, începând cu exercitarea judecăţilor asupra acestor stări de
lucruri. În mijlocul lor, noi suntem martori, dar nu facem parte din ele.
El a spus: „Împărăția
Mea nu este din lumea aceasta“ (Ioan 18:36 ). A pune întrebarea: „Trebuie un
creştin să voteze?“ , este o dovadă de pierdere a mărturiei; altădată în
mijlocul fraţilor n-ar fi fost ridicată o asementea întrebare. Mărturia
înseamnă să rămâi despărțit de lume și dependent numai de Dumnezeu."
Amin.

Undone
When I'm crying from the darkness
When I'm looking for a sign
When I'm feeling like I can't go on
You close in on all sides
You are stronger than my doubting
Your Love finds me when I hide
And even when I try to live without You
You are always kind
When I'm looking for a sign
When I'm feeling like I can't go on
You close in on all sides
You are stronger than my doubting
Your Love finds me when I hide
And even when I try to live without You
You are always kind
I am undone, o-oh
I am undone
I am undone
When You cried out from the garden
Let Your will be done, not Mine
When You took the weight of my mistakes
So I don't have to fight 'em
Now I let the sun rise on every scar and every sign
Of when You took this bruise and dying Soul
And breathed it back to Life
Let Your will be done, not Mine
When You took the weight of my mistakes
So I don't have to fight 'em
Now I let the sun rise on every scar and every sign
Of when You took this bruise and dying Soul
And breathed it back to Life
I am undone, o-oh
I am undone, o-o-oh! oh
I am undone, o-oh
I am undone, o-o-oh! oh
I am undone, o-o-oh! oh
I am undone, o-oh
I am undone, o-o-oh! oh
On and on, on and on
You carry me
You are there, You are there
Even in my wandering
You carry me
You are there, You are there
Even in my wandering
When I fall, when I fall
Let it be, oh let it be, at the cross!
And I am undone, o-oh
I am undone
I am undone, o-oh
I am undone, o-o-oh! oh
Let it be, oh let it be, at the cross!
And I am undone, o-oh
I am undone
I am undone, o-oh
I am undone, o-o-oh! oh
On and on, on and on
You carry me
You are there, You are there
Even in my wandering
When I fall, when I fall
Let it be, oh let it be, at the cross!
I am undone.
You carry me
You are there, You are there
Even in my wandering
When I fall, when I fall
Let it be, oh let it be, at the cross!
I am undone.
