This Is What You Do by Matt Stinton at Bethel Music

It's always like springtime with You, making all things new
Your light is breaking through the dark
This love it is sweeter than wine
Bringing joy, bringing life
Your hope is rising like the dawn

This is what You do, this is what You do
You make me come alive

It's like I'm living for the first time
Finally living for the first time

Now ...

Song of Hope by Robbie Seay Band

All things bright and beautiful You are
All things wise and wonderful You are
In my darkest night, You brighten up the skies
A song will rise

I will sing a song of hope
Sing along
God of heaven come down
Heaven come down
Just to know that You are near is enough
God of heaven come down, heaven come down

All things new
I can start again
Creator, God
Calling me Your friend
Sing praise, my soul
To the Maker of the skies
A song will rise

I will sing a song of hope
Sing along
God of heaven come down
Heaven come down
Just to know You and be loved is enough
God of heaven come down, heaven come down

Hallelujah, sing
Hallelujah, sing
Hallelujah, sing

Awake My Soul

Fall Afresh by Jeremy Riddle @Bethel Music

Awaken my soul, come awake
To hunger, to seek, to thirst
Awaken first love, come awake
And do as You did at first
Spirit of the Living God come fall afresh on me
Come wake me from my sleep
Blow through the caverns of my soul
Pour in me to overflow,
to overflow
Spirit come and fill this place
Let Your glory now invade
Spirit come and fill this place
Let Your glory now invade

Open Up by The Brilliance

You heard the cry of our hearts
And You came down
Freely You gave us Your love
Showing us how

Make me an instrument of Your peace
Where there is hatred let me sow love
Where there is darkness let me shine light and
May Your love cause us to open up
Cause us to open up our hearts
May Your light cause us to shine so bright
That we bring hope into the dark

All that we do without love
It means nothing
Grant us the courage to give
As You’re calling

Make me an instrument of Your peace
Where there is hatred let me sow love
Where there is darkness let me shine light and
May Your love cause us to open up
Cause us to open up our hearts
May Your light cause us to shine so bright
That we bring hope into the dark

Hope for the hopeless, Your love is
Strength in our weakness, Your love is
May we love, as You love
Hope for the hopeless, Your love is
Strength in our weakness, Your love is
May we love, as You love
(As only You can love, oh God)
May we love, as You love
May we love, as You love 

because of YOu I am ...

Give Me Your Heart by Chris and Bethany Solyntjes

Resting in Your arms Lord
Your grace it covers me
I worship in Your freedom Lord
My chains are gone I’m free
Thank You

Your love is all I want, Your grace is all I need
Give me Your heart Lord, give me Your heart Lord
Surrendered to the cross, I count myself as loss
Give me Your heart Lord, Give me Your heart Lord

Resting in Your promise Lord
You take me as I am
Through trials through the tears
Through mistakes and failed years
You love me

Because of Your love
I am not defined by me
I am not defined by me

I am free
I am saved
I am loved
I am changed
I am found
I am new
Now this life I live for You

DSD

Happy Digital Scrapbooking Day my all digi friends! I've just created this very green layout for a fun "color challenge" at P&Co Friends group at FB. There are also a few other games if you want to play. 
The layout is about Ireland, not only because it's nicknamed the Emerald Isle, but mainly because it's the country I'd love to visit one day, so it's been a perfect prompt to make me scrap this dream.

Gratitude Documented

I've never really liked November as it seemed as one of the most dark and gloomy and uneventful months of the year. Yet this year I've discovered it doesn't have to be this way - I can change my attitude and make it meaningful and positive. So I've taken up  #gratitudedocumented project at Ilustrated Faith and decided to look for little and big things I can be thankful for.

PeAcE
the lyrics is from a song by a great Christian band I've just discovered
and keep listening to Rivers and Robots
it's title is Voice That Stills The Raging Sea

Father, Your peace surpasses everything
All thoughts and understanding
As I trust upon Your name

And even on this ocean
With the waves all crashing over and around me
I put my trust in Your love
For Your voice has stilled the savagest of storms

So let Your voice that stills the raging sea speak over me

Speak “peace”.
