Give All

"If I am afraid to speak the truth, lest I lose affection, or lest the one concerned should say, "You do not understand," or because I fear to lose my reputation for kindness; if I put my own good name before the other's highest good, then I know nothing of Calvary love" ~Amy Carmichael

What Grace is Mine

What grace is mine, that He who dwells in endless light




Called through the night to find my distant soul.



And from his scars poured mercy that would plead for me



That I might live and in his name be known.

So I will go wherever He is calling me;



I lose my life to find my life in Him.



I give my all to gain the hope that never dies;



I bow my heart, take up my cross, and follow Him.

What grace is mine, to know His breath alive in me;



Beneath his wings my wakened soul may soar.



All fear can flee for death's dark night is overcome;



My Saviour lives and reigns forevermore.




So I will go wherever He is calling me;



I lose my life to find my life in Him.



I give my all to gain the hope that never dies;



I bow my heart, take up my cross, and follow Him.




So I will go wherever He is calling me;



I lose my life to find my life in Him.



I give my all to gain the hope that never dies;



I bow my heart, take up my cross, and follow Him.

~ Keith and Kristyn Getty

Passion for Thee

"Let us dare to test God's resources...Let us ask Him to kindle in us and keep aflame that passion for the impossible that shall make us delight in it with Him, till the day when shall see it transformed into a fact." - Lilias Trotter

Beggar who gives alms

Beggar who gives alms by Downhere
"There are no mystic jewels, embedded in my prose,


No moonlit haloed cherubs, perched on my piano,

No lyrics laced with pixie dust, no angels sings along.

I am just a beggar who gives alms


Chorus:

Gold and silver have I none, but such I have give thee,

Borrowed words from the one, who gave the gift to me,

The pearl that I could never buy, this life, this dream, this song,

And I am just a beggar who gives alms


I am not the creator, but a scribe with a pen,

I'm recreating visions, through a cracked and broken lens,

Only one has ever seen the home for which we long,

And I am just a beggar who gives alms."

If I Never Knew You

"I'd rather die tomorrow than live a hundred years without knowing you" John Smith- Disney's Pcoahontas

Lyrics:
"If I never knew you


If i never felt this love

I would have no inkling of

How precious life can be


And if I never held you

I would never have a clue

How at last I'd find in you

The missing part of me.


In this world so full of fear

Full of rage and lies

I can see the truth so clear

In your eyes

So dry your eyes


And I'm so grateful to you

I'd hve lived my whole life through

Lost forever

If I never knew you"
