Watch "EISDAC Youth ( Then Sing My Soul) Youth Rally 2012" on YouTube

O Lord my God when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy pow'r through out the universe display

When thro' the woods the forest glades I wonder
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees
When I looked down from lofty mountain grandeur
Then hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art

And when I think that God His Son not sparring
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
Then on the cross my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sins!!

When Christ shall come!!
With shouts of acclamation
And take me home
What joy shall fill my heart!! ^___^

Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim "My God, how great Thou art!!"

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art

God on the Mountain

2011-11-18T22:06:00.000-08:00

Life is easy when you're up on the mountain
And you've got peace of mind like you've never known
But things change and you're down in the valley
Don't lose faith for you're never alone

Cause the God of the mountain is still God in the valley
When things go wrong He'll make them right
And the God of the good times is still How in the bad times
The God of the day is still God in the night

You talk of faith when you're up on the mountain
The talk comes easy when life's at its best
But it's down in the valley of trials and temptations
That's when faith is really put to the test

He Knows My Name ( I Have a Maker )

2011-07-22T09:08:00.000-07:00

I have a Maker
He formed my heart
Before even time began
My life was in his hands

I have a Father
He calls me His own
He'll never leave me
No matter where I go

He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And He hears me when I call

Praise God!

"Timeless"

2011-02-05T14:44:00.000-08:00

Time, it’s changing me
It’s hard to see who I am
Touched, I’m touched by many things
So many things I don’t understand

But seasons pass and I discover
Above all this there’s another
Helping me to hold on to what is timeless

chorus:
So the autumn can color me gold
And the winter can dress me in snow
But it’s You I see
The timeless part of me
In the springtime I’m young once again
In the summer I dance on the wind
But it’s You I see
The timeless part of me

Change, whether it’s good or bad
You know I’m glad You’re in control
Oh, Lord, if I don’t understand
I know Your hand will shield my soul

Seasons pass and I discover
Above all this there’s another
Helping me to hold on to what is timeless

"He Leadeth Me"

2010-10-19T21:34:00.000-07:00

He leads me beside quiet waters
He giveth me rest for my soul
He guides in the path of His righteousness
His love and His peace fill my soul
O He leadeth me..He leadeth me

My steps, they may falter or stumble
My pathway may turn from His side
Yet through every road He is with me
He's faithful in me to abide
He leadeth me..He leadeth me

By His own hand He leadeth me
Tenderly guiding He leadeth me
Whate'r I do, Where I may be
His loving hand is with me
By His own hand He leadeth me
Tenderly guiding He leadeth me
I cannot fail, He will prevail
For where I am He is with me

His goodness, His kindness and mercy
Will follow me all of my days
And I will dwell in my Father's house
Forever I'll sing of His praise
He leadeth me..He leadeth me

He leadeth me, He leadeth me
By His own hand He leadeth me
His faithful follower I will be
For by His hand He leadeth me
.. He leadeth me ..

I Wanna Go To Heaven

2010-10-06T11:12:00.000-07:00

I wanna go to Heaven, and pick a never fading flower,
From the mountain overlooking the temple of my God.
I wanna go to Heaven, where all is light and glory,
How I long to be with Jesus! How I long to be with God!

CHORUS
Some times I think that I could stay here no longer.
I feel very lonely here, for I've seen a better land!
Oh! That I had wings like a dove,
Then would I fly away, and be at rest.

VERSE 2
I wanna go to Heaven, I wanna hear the voice of Jesus,
"You have washed your robes in my blood, stood stiffly for my truth."
And when I get to Heaven I'll cast my crown at Jesus feet!
I wanna praise His name forever!
He has done so much for me!

VERSE 3
I wanna go to Heaven, I wanna hear the voice of Jesus,
"I will gird myself and serve you, for you suffered much for me."
And when I get to Heaven I wanna sit at Jesus' table!
Oh! To eat the fruit of that land,
To go back to earth no more!

Nothing Without You

2010-09-12T09:34:00.001-07:00

Take these hands and lift them up
For I have not the strength to praise You near enough
For I have nothing,I have nothing without You

Take my voice and pour it out
Let it sing the songs of mercy I have found
For I have nothing,I have nothing without You

Chorus:
All my soul needs
Is all Your love to cover me
So all the world will see
That I have nothing without You

Take my body and build it up
May it be broken as an offering of love
For I have nothing,I have nothing without You

All my soul needs
Is all Your love to cover me
So all the world will see
That I have nothing
But I love You

With all my heart
With all my soul
With all my might
With all the strength that I can find

Take my time here on this earth
And let it glorify all that You are worth
For I am nothing,
I am nothing without You

Praise His Name

2010-08-08T22:07:00.000-07:00

When you're up against a wall
And your mountain seems so tall
And you realize that life's not always fair
You can run away and hide
Let the old man decide
Or you can change your circumstances with a prayer

When everything falls apart
Praise his name
When you have a broken heart
Raise your hands and say
Lord, you're all I need
You're everything to me
And he'll take the pain away
And when it seems you're all alone
Praise his name
When you feel you can't go on
Raise your hands and say
"Greater is He that is within me!"
And you can praise the hurt away
If you'll just praise his name

Ohhh,
You can overcome
By the blood of the lamb
And by the word of your testimony
You'll see the darkness go
As your faith begins to grow
You're not alone, so how can you be lonely

In Awe Of You

2010-07-15T22:51:00.000-07:00

When I think of Your mercy
When I look upon Your face
When I sing of Your beauty
When I'm broken by Your grace
I stand amazed without words
or token whispers
I humbly bow in silence at Your feet
I'm overwhelmed by Your mighty love
That causes me to be
Completely changed
I'm in awe of You

CHORUS
In awe of You, the glory of Your presence
In awe of You, the power of Your name
In awe of You
The Holy Lamb that takes away all sin
To make me new
I'm in awe of You

You make me new, I'm in awe . .

How Can I Keep From Singing

2010-07-14T12:06:00.000-07:00

God is soo good, dear readers.. keep praising Him for He is our God! ^__^

-He-

2010-03-18T21:38:00.000-07:00

He can turn the tides and calm the angry sea
He alone decides who writes a symphony
He lights every star that makes our darkness bright
He keeps watch all through each long and lonely night
He still finds the time to hear a child's first prayer
Saint or sinner call and always find Him there
And though it makes Him sad to see the way we live
He'll always say, "I forgive".

He can grant a wish or make a dream come true.
He can paint the clouds and turn the grey to blue.
He alone knows where to find the rainbow's end.
He alone can see what lies beyond the bend.
He can touch a tree and turn the leaves to gold
He knows every lie that you and I have told
Though it makes him sad to see the way we live
He'll always say, "I forgive".

A New Song

2009-11-01T20:58:00.000-08:00

Patiently I waited and he heard my cry.
He brought me up and set my feet
on solid Ground (on solid ground)
Let all those who seek him
(let those who seek Him faithfully)
Rejoice and be glad, and give Him honor,
and praise. (Lord we praise You)

He put a new song in my heart.
A song a praise to our God.
Many will see and turn around,
and trust in you. (Lord we trust in you)

Many are thy wonders
(many thy wonders all are yours)
that thou hast done, there's not even one Lord
who compares with you. (who is like you Lord)
So let my delight be, (let my delight be only in you)
Only in your way, and let it be written
on my heart. (on my heart)

He put a new song in my heart.
A song a praise to our God.
Many will see and turn around,
and trust in you. (Lord we trust in you)
We trust in you, we trust in you, we trust in you.

I Tremble

2009-07-02T00:39:00.000-07:00

Lord it's with an honest reverence

That I come into your presence

Whispering the name that calms all fear

And I’m filled with such emotion

At Your mercy and devotion

To think that You would come and meet me here

Lord I tremble..

At the very thought of Calvary

Where You chose me over life

As you suffered willingly

Lord I tremble..

At the way I’m undeserving of

The love You came to give

And Your blood that makes me worthy

Lord I tremble..

Let me not forget this temple

Is transformed into a throne room

Through Your name my soul is ushered in

So let me come to You in wonder

Let my heart still pound like thunder

At the way Your grace has found me once again

Lord I tremble at the way Your love has saved me

And Your precious grace forgave me

Let me never take for granted who You are

2009-06-07T12:47:00.000-07:00

Picture a man with no reason for living,
With no hope of smiling again.
Imagine a world with no golden daybreak,
Enclosed by the blackness of sin.
And the sea is bathed in beauty and glory, transformed by love's sweet embrace, The hands of the Savior, erased all my sorrow and painted this picture of Grace.
How skillful the hands of the artist, who painted this picture of me,
He saw with the eye's of a Master, how beautiful my life could be, where once was a portrait of gloom and despair, this masterpiece hangs in it's place, It's signed with His blood and it's framed with His glory, this beautiful picture of Grace, The ashes and ruin, that once filled the picture, had vanished and faded from view, and beautiful touches of mercy adourned, this picture he painted anew.
Such peace filled the eyes of the man He created, a smile gently rests on his face, Since Jesus erased all the guilt of my past and painted this picture of grace,
How skillful the hands of the artist, who painted this picture of me,
He saw with the eye's of a Master, how beautiful my life could be, where once was a portrait of gloom and despair, this masterpiece hangs in it's place, It's signed with His blood and it's framed with His glory, this beautiful picture of Grace. Where once was a portrait of gloom and despair, this masterpiece hangs in it's place, It's signed with His blood and it's framed in His glory, this beautiful picture of Grace.

This beautiful picture of Grace.

Wandering Heart

2009-06-03T13:41:00.000-07:00

You've been hurt
I understand
I know your life has not turned out the way you planned
You can run
You can hide
But how can you escape the love
That cannot be denied?

Wondering heart
You've been gone so long
Wondering heart
It's time to come back home
There's a light of hope still shining
Mercy leaves it on
So your wandering heart
Can find its way back home

Turn around
You're not too far
Take one step and God will meet you where you are
He'll forgive
He'll forget
And He will not remind you of the things you now regret

Come home
Come home
Come home
Ye who are weary
Come home

There's a light of hope still shining
Mercy leaves it on
So your wandering heart
Can find its way back home
