Take You At Your Word
Lately, it seems that the word of man is useless. I'm thankful it's
still "in GOD we trust."
-- Jody
In Not Of
Our purpose is to shine the light of our Savior to those who don't know Him
and to never allow that light to be dimmed by the world. If we see the
lost through the eyes of Christ, we can love them into His kingdom.
-- Cherie
In a Different Light
As we journey through God's perfect will we can't always see what
lies ahead, but we can hold on to the promise that He holds the treasures for
those who obey His call
-- Cherie
Can't Live a Day
"There are people who live without love,
people who live having given up on dreams and people who live in the
consequences of bad choices. The one thing that separates Christians from those
who don't have Christ is that, regardless of what we have or don't have in our
lives, we have hope. No
matter how bad things get, we have that hope of knowing Jesus and knowing that
everything may not turn out the way we planned, but ultimately, He has a bigger
plan for our lives. Our hope is not in our circumstances because those will
change. Our happiness and our peace are found in the Lord. Without Him, life
would be meaningless. A day without Jesus Christ is one I would never want
to experience. Life is truly worth living because of Him.

Always Have, Always Will
This song describes me perfectly, and I'm very thankful that it describes
God as well.

I'm Speechless
I was going through a really hard time in my life. I was so bad off I felt like
God had just forgotten about me. At my lowest point, I called my mom, and she
said, "Cherie, you need to go to church." So that's what I did. There
was an evangelist speaking, and as I walked in the doors, he said, "Is
there a Cherie here?" Now, I had never met this man, but he began to say
things to me that only I know. It was the most unbelievable experience of my
life. And when I read the words of this song, my first response was, "I've
got to do this song. This really best represents how I feel." Especially
the second verse where it says, "I tried to write this song/ I've searched
my heart for phrases/but they only catch a glimpse of all you are_" I had
tried to write about that experience, to convey the tangibility that I felt
between me and God for the first time in so long, and this song just said it
all. From the healing of my wounded heart to the restoration of my broken
life, I am in such awe of God's tangible existence that He simply leaves me
"speechless."
-- Cherie
If My People Pray
God has promised if we seek Him with one heart, we will find
Him. My prayer for us as a church, nation and world is that we return to
Him while He may be found.
-- Janna
Only For the Weak
I have found that God loves to work through the apparent inadequacies of
this world - for it is in them His true power is seen most vividly.
-- Michael
Let Your Love
Where have you been looking for love? It is right before your eyes.
-- Jody
Hide My Soul
Whether in time of trial or time of peace, it's the only place to hide.
-- Jody
First Love
The honesty of these words really drew me in. This song is a challenge
to me to pursue God more fervently.
-- Michael
