DESPERATION

The video that is attached is a video that my husband did last week. He is talking about desperation. When you actually get to the point where you will do just about anything to be free from whatever life controlling problem you are struggling with.

THE STRUGGLE

How can I love God so much and still run to food that makes me feel horrible when I need comfort? I will answer this and more in the days to come.

He's Not Here

Rebecca St. James - He's Not Here Lyrics

JANITOR: Why are you crying, daughter? Why have you come? No need to be afraid now - no need to run

Why do you seek the living among the dead
The One you seek is risen - just like He said
Go and tell the others your Hero is alive
He's not here

MAGGIE: Friends, I've just seen a wonder with my own eyesOur Hero's tomb is empty - I've been insideI talked to God's own Angel - He had good news
He said, "The Lord is risen and comes to you"Come and see the grave yourself
And let your hearts sing out
He's not here
He's not here
He's not here

Exodus 25:22 a - I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the "mercy seat".......

Mercy seat

In the darkness
Where everything is unknown
I face the power of sin on my own
I did not know of a place I could go
Where I could find a way to
Heal my wounded soul.

He said that I could come into
His presence without fear
Into the holy place where
His mercy hovers near
I'm runnin' I'm runnin'I'm runnin' to the mercy seat
Where Jesus is callin' he said
His grace would cover me
His blood will flow freely
It will provide the healin'
Come runnin' to the mercy seat
I'm runnin; to the mercy seat.

Are you livin' where hope has not been?
You're lost in the curse of a
Lifetime of sin
Lovely illusions they never
Come true I know where there's a place
Of mercy for you
He said that you could come into his
Presence without fear
Into this holy place
Where his mercy hovers near.

Come runnin' come runnin'
Come runnin' to the mercy seat
Where Jesus is callin' he said his
Grace would cover you.

His blood
Will flow freely it will provide the healin'
Come runnin' to the mercy seat
I'm runnin' to the mercy seat
He said that you could come into his presence
Without fear into the holy place
Where his mercy hovers near

Over the mountains and the sea
Your river runs with the love for me
and I will open up my heart
and let the healer set me free.
I’m happy to be in the truth
and I will daily lift my hands
for I will always sing of when Your love came down.

*Chorus*
I could sing of Your love forever.
I could sing of Your love forever.
I could sing of Your love forever.
I could sing of Your love forever.
Oh, I feel like dancin'
It's foolishness I know
But when the world has seen the light
They will dance with joy
Like we're dancing now

I could sing of Your love forever (Oohh I could sing of love)
I could sing of Your love forever (I could sing, I could sing)
I could sing of Your love forever (Just to sing the praises of you, Lord)
I could sing of Your love forever
I will sing of Your love forever (I could sing)
I will sing of Your love forever (I lift my hands and praise His holy name)
I will sing of Your love forever (Love forever)
I could sing of Your love... ...oohh sing and sing and sing and sing to you (I will sing) Ohh Ohh Ohh

I could sing of Your love forever
I could sing of Your love forever
I could sing of Your love forever
I could sing of Your love forever
I could sing of Your love forever
I could sing of Your love forever

Voice of the Savior - By Mandisa

Some people try to listen, to the bottom of a bottle
Some people try to listen, to a needle in their arm
Some people try to listen, to the money in their pocket
Some people try to listen, to another’s arms

{Chorus}

You and I are not that different
We got a void and we’re just trying to fill it up
With something that will give just a little peace
All we want is a hand to reach to
Open arms that say I love you
We’d give anything to hear
The voice of a Savior

Some people try to find it with blind ambition
Some people try to find it where no one else has gone
Some people try to find it in the crowns of victory
Some people get defeated and lose the strength to carry on

{Chorus}

Some people try to find it in the shadow of a steeple
Some people try to find it in the back row pew
Some people try to find it in the arms of Jesus That’s where I found it, how about you?

{Chorus}
