Voice of Truth - Lyrics and YouTube Video

VOICE OF TRUTH
Performed by Casting Crowns
From "Facing The Giants" Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Based on Matthew 14:23-33, 1 Samuel 17




VERSE 1
Oh, what I would do to have the kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in onto the crashing waves
To step out of my comfort zone into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He's holding out His hand
But the waves are calling out my name and they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me time and time again
"Boy, you'll never win, you'll never win."

CHORUS
But the Voice of truth tells me a different story
The Voice of truth says "do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of truth says "this is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of truth

VERSE 2
Oh, what I would do to have the kind of strength it takes
To stand before a giant with just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand
But the giant's calling out my name and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me time and time again
"Boy you'll never win, you'll never win."

CHORUS
But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The Voice of truth says "do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of truth says "this is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of truth

BRIDGE
But the stone was just the right size to put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high from on top of them looking down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus singing over me

FINAL CHORUS
And the Voice of truth tells me a different story
The Voice of truth says "do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of truth says "this is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me (calling out to me)
I will choose to listen and believe (I will choose to listen and believe)
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of truth

END
I will listen and believe
I will listen and believe the Voice of truth
I will listen and believe
'Cause Jesus You are the Voice of truth
And I will listen to You, oh You are...


Compiled from the movie "Facing the Giant"

The Champion - Lyrics and YouTube Video

THE CHAMPION
Written and performed by Carman



In the vast expanse of a timeless place,
Where silence ruled the outer space,
Ominously, towering it stood,
The symbol of a spirit war
Between the one name Lucifer,
And the Morning Star, the Ultimate of good.

Enveloped by a trillion planets,
Clean as lightning and hard as granite,
A cosmic coliseum would host the end
Of the war between the lord of sin and death,
And the Omnipotent Creator of man's first breath,
Who will decide who forever will be the Champion.

The audience for the 'Fight of the Ages' was assembled and in place.
The angels came in splendor from a star.
The saints that had gone before were there: Jeremiah, Enoch, Job.
They were singing the "Song of Zion" on David's harp.

The demons arrived, offensive and vile,
Cursing and blaspheming God.
Followed by their 'trophies' dead and gone.
Hitler, Napoleon, Pharaoh, Capone,
Tormented and vexed and grieved.
Waiting for their judgment from the Throne.

Then a chill swept through the mammoth crowd
And the demons squealed with glee,
As a sordid, vulgar, repulsive essence was felt.
Arrogantly prancing, hands held high, draped in a sparkling shroud
Trolled by demons, Satan ascended from Hell.

Then Satan cringed, the sinners groaned!
The demons reeled in pain
As a swell of power like silent thunder rolled
With a surge of light beyond intense, illuminating the universe,
In resplendent glory appeared the Son of God.

Then a Persona, yes, Extraordinaire appeared in center ring.
God the Father will oversee the duel.
Opening the Book of Life, each grandstand hushed in awe
As majestically He said, "Now here's the rules.

"He'll be wounded for their transgressions, bruised for iniquities."
When He said, "By His stripes they're healed," the devil shook!
He screamed, "Sickness is my specialty. I hate that healing junk!"
God said, "You shut your face, I wrote the book!"

Then the Father looked at His only Son and said,
"You know the rules.
Your blood will cleanse their sins and calm their fears."
Then He pointed His finger at Satan and said,
"And I know you know the rules.
You've been twisting them to deceive My people for years."

Satan cried, "I'll kill you Christ! You'll never win this fight!"
The demons wheezed, "That's right, there ain't no way."
Satan jeered, "You're dead meat, Jesus, I'm gonna bust you up tonight!"
Jesus said, "Go ahead, make my day!"

The bell rang, the crowd cheered, the fight was on,
And the devil leaped in fury.
With all his evil tricks became undone.
He threw his jabs of hate and lust.
A stab of pride and envy
But the hand that knew no sin blocked every one.

Forty days and nights they fought,
And Satan couldn't touch Him.
Now the final blow saved for the final round.
Prophetically Christ's hands came down
And Satan struck in vengeance!
The blow of death felled Jesus to the ground.

The devils roared in victory!
The saints shocked and perplexed as wounds appeared upon His hands and feet.
Then Satan kicked Him in His side, and blood and water flowed.
And they waited for the 10 count of defeat.

God the Father turned His head,
His tears announcing Christ was dead!
The 10 count would proclaim the battle's end.
Then Satan trembled through his sweat in unexpected horror, yet...
As God started to count by saying,

"...10..."
"Hey wait a minute, God..."
"...9..."
"Stop! You're counting wrong..."
"...8..."
"His eyes are moving..."
"...7..."
"His fingers are twitching..."
"...6..."
"Where's all this Light coming from?"
"...5..."
"He's alive!"
"...4..."
"Oh - Nooooo!!!"
"...3..."
Oh... Yessssss!!!
"...2..."
He has...
"...1..." (won!!!)

He has won!
He's alive forevermore!
He is risen!
He is Lord!

He has won!
He has won!
He's alive forevermore!
He is risen!
He is Lord!

Proclaim the news in every tongue,
Through endless ages and beyond
Let it be voiced from mountains loud and strong
Captivity has been set free, salvation bought for you and me
'Cause Satan is defeated,
And Jesus is...

THE CHAMPION!!!

Bad Day - Lyrics and Music Video

Dedicated to Wilson (Demon's Bane). Part of what has happened is my fault, though he said its no one's fault. Anyway, I do believe God is stirring something, for the good cause of course. For "even though you intended to do harm to me, God intended it for good" (Gen 50:20). :-)
_______________________________________________________

Bad Day
Written and Performed by Daniel Powter




VERSE 1
Where is the moment when we need it the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on

VERSE 2
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces every time
And I don't need no carryin' on

CHORUS
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

VERSE 3
Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on

CHORUS
You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day

(Oh.. Holiday..)

BRIDGE
Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong

VERSE 4
So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

CHORUS
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

END
Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day

Youtube video (Christmas version) here.

(Christmas Verse)
Over the skies of Bethlehem appeared a star
While angels sang to lowly shepherds
Three wise men seeking truth traveled from afar
Hoping to find a child from Heaven
Falling on their knees
They bowed before the humble Prince of Peace

CHORUS
I bring an offering of worship to my King
No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing
Jesus may You receive the honor that You're due
O Lord I bring an offering to You
I bring an offering to You

(Normal Verse)
The sun cannot compare to the glory of Your love
There is no shadow in Your Presence
No mortal man would dare to stand before Your throne
Before the Holy One of heaven
It's only by Your Blood and it's only through Your mercy
Lord I come

Verse 1
I believe in God the Father Almighty
Maker of Heaven and Maker of Earth
And in Jesus Christ
His only begotten Son, our Lord
He was conceived by the Holy Spirit
Born of the Virgin Mary
Suffered under Pontius Pilate
He was crucified and dead and buried

CHORUS
And I believe what I believe
Is what makes me what I am
I did not make it, no it is making me
It is the very truth of God
And not the invention of any man

Verse 2
I believe that He who suffered
Was crucified, buried, and dead
He descended into hell
And on the third day, rose again
He ascended into Heaven
Where He sits at God's mighty right hand
I believe that He's returning
To judge the quick and the dead
Of the sons of men

CHORUS

I believe it, I believe it
I believe it
I believe it, I believe it

Verse 3
I believe in God the Father Almighty
Maker of Heaven and Maker of Earth
And in Jesus Christ
His only begotten Son, our Lord
I believe in the Holy Spirit
One Holy Church, the communion of Saints
The forgiveness of sin
I believe in the resurrection
I believe in a life that never ends

CHORUS

I believe it, I believe
I believe it, I believe
I believe it, I believe it

The Last Message (天才与白痴)

I cannot tahan how funny this classic Cantonese song is (released in 1975), until I have to create a blog post for it. A big salute to Samuel Hui for his talent in blending his sense of humor into his own creativity. Yes... this song is 33 years old!!!

[SPOILER]

The English title for the movie of the same Chinese title (literally means "The Genius and The Idiot") is so named because of the Morse-code message that was embedded in the brain signal of a person who's already dead, hence the last message. Yes, it IS a spoiler, yet you're forewarned. Who ask you to read? :-P

Majesty, Power, Love

Yep. That's Jesus.

I was listening to Paradise Church's Power In The Name on my way from basketball to dinner place. At first I sang along (I was fetching Ian and Kevin, and they were listening and singing along too). Then, I sort of went into moment of worship, and the first line of the chorus hit right into my heart.

"Majesty, power and love"

I wept. So majestic and powerful He is, on the Throne of Heaven, yet, because of His overwhelming love, He came down to earth as man, and died for all of us. All. Everyone. Sinners. Unworthy, yet saved by One.

Never underestimate the Name of Jesus. It means Savior. Savior to all mankind.

Power In The Name
Words and Music by Ollie Sebastian

Isn't there something beautiful when you call you that Name
Isn't there power amazing when in unity we say
"Jesus Your love upon that hill means we are saved"
Jesus there is power in Your Name

Majesty, power and love
Holiness, peace from above
With me in mind, Lord You took the blame
Jesus there is power in Your Name

Beauty And The Beast - YouTube Video and Lyrics

Beauty And The Beast
Written by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman
Performed by Céline Dion and Peabo Bryson

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5Cvq416zuQ

Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly

Just a little change
Small, to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the beast

Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise

Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong

Certain as the sun
Rising in the East
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast

Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast

In Christ Alone - YouTube Videos and Lyrics

In Christ Alone
Words and Music by Keith Getty & Stuart Townend
Copyright © 2001 Kingsway Thankyou Music



In Christ alone my hope is found;
He is my light, my strength, my song;
This cornerstone, this solid ground,
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My comforter, my all in all—
Here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone, Who took on flesh,
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness,
Scorned by the ones He came to save.
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied;
For ev'ry sin on Him was laid—
Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay,
Light of the world by darkness slain;
Then bursting forth in glorious day,
Up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory,
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me;
For I am His and He is mine—
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death—
This is the pow'r of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home—
Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand.

Awesome God - YouTube Videos and Lyrics

Awesome God
Written and Performed by Rich Mullins



Verse 1
When He rolls up His sleeves He ain't just putting on the ritz
Our God is an awesome God
There's thunder in His footsteps and lightning in His fists
Our God is an awesome God

And the Lord wasn't joking when He kicked 'em out of Eden
It wasn't for no reason that He shed His blood
His return is very close and so you better be believing that
Our God is an awesome God

Chorus
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power and love
Our God is an awesome God

Verse 2
And when the sky was starless In the void of the night
Our God is an awesome God
He spoke into the darkness and created the light
Our God is an awesome God

Judgement and wrath He poured out on Sodom
Mercy and grace He gave us at the cross
I hope that we have not too quickly forgotten that
Our God is an awesome God

Chorus
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power and love
Our God is an awesome God

Watch The Lamb - YouTube Videos and Lyrics

WATCH THE LAMB
Words and Music by Ray Boltz

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVjxmOzsgp8
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-wy-HIn4Jg

Walking on the road to Jerusalem
The time had come to sacrifice again
My two small sons they walked beside me down the road
The reason that they came was to watch the lamb

They said, "Daddy daddy, what will we see there?
There's so much that we don't understand."
So I told them of Moses, and Father Abraham
And I said, "Dear children, watch the lamb.

"There will be so many In Jerusalem today.
We must be sure this little lamb doesn't run away,"
And I told them of Moses, and Father Abraham
And I said, "Dear children, watch the lamb."

When we reached the city, I knew something must be wrong
There were no joyful worshippers, no joyful worship songs
And I stood there with my children, in the midst of angry men
Then I heard a crowd cry out, "Crucify Him!"

We tried to leave the city, but we could not get away
Forced to play in this drama, a part I did not want to play
Why upon this day were men condemned to die?
Why were we standing right here where soon they would pass by

I looked and I said, "Even now they come."
The first one cried for mercy, the people gave him none
The second one was violent, he was arrogant and loud
I can still hear his angry voice screaming at the crowd

Then someone said, "There's Jesus."
I scarce believed my eyes
A man so badly beaten
He barely looked alive
Blood poured from His body
From the thorns on His brow
Running down the cross and falling to the ground

I watched as He struggled
And I watched Him when He fell
The cross came down upon His back
And the crowd began to yell
In that moment I felt such agony
In that moment I felt such loss
Till the Roman soldier grabbed my arm and screamed
"YOU! Carry his cross!"

At first I tried to resist him
But his hand reached for his sword
So I knelt and I took
The cross from the Lord
I put it on my shoulder
We started down the street
And the blood that He'd been shedding
Was running down my cheek...

They led us to Golgatha
They drove nails deep in His feet and hands
And on the cross, I heard Him pray,
"Father, forgive them..."
Never have I seen such love in any other eyes
"Into Thy hands I commit my spirit,"
He prayed, then He died.

I stood for what seemed like years
I lost all sense of time
Then I felt two tiny hands holding onto mine
My children stood there weeping
And I heard the oldest say
"Father please forgive us,
The lamb, ran away.

"Daddy daddy, what've we seen here,
There's so much that we don't understand."
So I took them in my arms
We turned and faced the cross
And I said, "Dear children,
Watch the LAMB..."
