Learning Joy

We stand and lift up our hands
For the joy of the Lord is our strength
We bow down and worship Him now
How great, how awesome is He
And together we sing

Holy is the Lord God Almighty
The earth is filled with His glory
Holy is the Lord God Almighty
The earth is filled with His glory
The earth is filled with His glory

We stand and lift up our hands
For the joy of the Lord is our strength
We bow down and worship Him now
How great, how awesome is He

And together we sing
Everyone sing

Holy is the Lord God Almighty
The earth is filled with His glory
Holy is the Lord God Almighty
The earth is filled with His glory
The earth is filled with His glory

It’s rising up all around
It’s the anthem of the Lord’s renown
It’s rising up all around
It’s the anthem of the Lord’s renown

And together we sing
And Everyone sing

Holy is the Lord God Almighty
The earth is filled with his glory
Holy is the Lord God Almighty
The earth is filled with his glory(x A Lot)

Holy Is The Lord LyricsArtist(Band):Chris Tomlin

We’re off to Portland today on a homeschool trip. Woke up sad, God reminded me of this song. It’s mostly the chorus. 🙂

One more mile til I lay rest
I have put myself through this rigid test
But the mile has never ended no distance has been gained
I do not see greatness I wanted to obtain
Where is my embrace from the race that I have run?
I have kept a steady pace but still I have not won

Chorus
Rest easy
Have no fear
I love you perfectly
Love drives out fear
Ill take your burden
You take my grace
Rest easy
In my embrace

I am such a sinner I fear my evil ways
I fear my imperfection I fear my final days
I just want to take control and snap this rusty chain
Drop my heavy burden it seems to be in vain

Repeat chorus

Bridge

I am not a bold man even though I want to be
I am just a dreamer with a timid history
Scared of confrontations I fume all through the night
The world has its hold on me and I just want to fly
The sky, the sky is open wide
But I cant fly til I step aside

Chorus ii

Rest easy
Have no fear
I love you perfectly
And perfect love drives out fear
Ill take your burden
You take my grace
Rest easy
In my embrace
Rest easy, rest easy
Rest easy, in my embrace
Rest easy

the boys wanted me to take pictures of their bunnies. I bought them on sale last night (gotta love clearance!!) and they wouldn’t eat them until I took pictures (they were too cute).
Now we’re getting ready to go to the doctor. Daniel has an earache.

It *is* March 28th, right?? Spring should be right around the corner. But, of course, Tacoma is Tacoma and the Northwest will ever keep its weather a mystery! Yes, that is SNOW you see on the ground and cars. YES, I took the pictures today – this afternoon, in fact, around 2 p.m. to be exact. No, there isn’t any more snow now. Yes, the sun came out and the roads were clear, and it looked like a regular Northwest day not two hours later. Oh yeah, and we’re supposed to believe all that junk about global warming. my foot.

okay, so Jonathan’s eye is almost all the way back to normal now, but I had to post about day four because it looked so weird!!


He wanted me to take one that looked like he was sick or dying. Silly boy.

… I just wish it wasn’t Amy Grant who sings it. She really made me sad when she said she never intended to become a Christian singer, that’s just how it happened – her music just fell into the Christian music realm. anyways … I like this song.

Sing your praise to the lord,
Come on everybody,
Stand up and sing…one more
Hallelujah,
Give your praise to the lord,
I can never tell you,
Just how much good…that its
Gonna do ya

Just to sing, sing sing…
Come on, sing, sing, sing…
I can hear you now, sing, sing, sing…

Maybe she’s getting forgetful in her old age? Wait, she’s not THAT old!
