Today is Monday, February 28th, 2005; Karen's Korner #491

I have enjoyed music as long as I can remember. I have sung in choirs in school and church. Something about music helps me remember things more clearly. This is absolutely the truth when it comes to biblical verses or themes. One of my favorite Contemporary Christian artists in Steven Curtis Chapman. Here is the lyrics to one of his songs. If you've heard of him before, you'll be "tapping your toes", and if not, treat it like a poem. The chorus is a simple reminder that of actions we should be doing daily :)

I think I'll share a few more song lyrics later this week. If you have a song that speaks to you, share it with me at jamie_champion1@yahoo.com

Let Us Pray

by S.C. Chapman

from "Signs of Life"


I hear you say your heart is achin'

You've got trouble in the making

And you ask if I'd be praying for you please

And in keeping with convictions

I say here's for good intentions

To pray lately making mention of your needs

Since we have this moment here at heaven's door

We should start knocking now so what are we waiting for


CHORUS:

Let us pray, let us pray

Everywhere and every way

Every moment of the day

It is the right time

For the father above

He is listening with love

And he wants to answer us

So let us pray


VERSE 2:

So if you feel the spirit movin'

Prompting, prodding and behooving

There is no time to be losing let us pray

Let the Father hear us saying

What we need to be conveying

Even while this song is playing let us pray

And just because we say the words amen

It doesn't mean this conversation needs to end


CHORUS:

Let us pray, let us pray

Everywhere and every way

Every moment of the day

It is the right time

Let us pray without end

And when we finish start again

Like breathing out and breathing in,

let us pray


BRIDGE:

Let us approach the throne of grace with confidence

As our prayers draw us near to the one who knows our need

Before we even call his name



(CHORUS)
