For the Love of God
Scripture Reference: "If I have a faith that can move mountains, but not
have love, I am nothing." 1 Corinthians.13:2 NIV
Rebecca's comments: During a mission trip to Romania in Oct.'99, I felt
really challenged to live my live from the center motivation of my love for God.
Recording the strings with the London Sessions Orchestra on this song was a
moving experience that I will never forget.
Reborn
Scripture Reference: "No one can see the kingdom of God unless he is
born again." John 3:3 NIV
Rebecca's comments: I have had the privilege this year of not only seeing
people come to Christ at our concerts, but of seeing a personal friend come to
know Him as well. To see the joy and excitement in her new 'reborn' life is
beautiful.
Don't Worry
Scripture reference: "Then Jesus said to His disciples; Don't worry
about your life..." Luke 12:22 NIV
Rebecca's comments: I am really quite a dramatic person and this song is a
drama, a story, that challenges me to truly give things to God and not 'take
them back' by worrying.
One
Scripture Reference: "For we are all baptized by one spirit into one
body..." 1 Corinthians 12:13 NIV
Rebecca's Comments: In the last few years I have so enjoyed being able to
sing in places like Europe, Canada, the U.S. and back home 'Down Under'! There
are members of the body of Christ everywhere!
Universe
Scripture reference: " I am convinced that nothing.... absolutely
nothing can get between us and God's love." Romans 8: 35 The Message
Rebecca's comments: One day I was walking down beside the creek at my house
when I became inspired by the thought that 'like the river that runs to the
sea' so God's love for us goes on and on.
Wait For Me
Scripture reference: "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are
young but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith
and in purity." 1 Timothy 4:12 NIV
Rebecca's comments: The idea of this song came from letters I have written to
my future husband, that I will one day give to him. I sing it not just to him
but on behalf of young women today, encouraging the future husbands of our
generation to stay sexually pure, to wait for us.
In Me
Scripture Reference: "With God's power working in us, God can do much
much more than we can ask or imagine." Ephesians 3:20 NIV
Rebecca's Comments: How we underestimate God's power in us!
Lean On
Scripture Reference: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not
on your own understanding." Proverbs 3:5 NIV
Rebecca's Comments: Earthsuit is a band I greatly respect and so it was a
real thrill to write this song with them on trusting in God...not ourselves.
All Around Me
Scripture Reference: "For since the creation of the world God's
invisible qualities-His eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen,
being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."
Romans 1:20 NIV
Rebecca's Comments: God makes His reality so obvious to us in His creation and in the little "mini-miracles" that happen every day.
Stand
Scripture Reference: "Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do
not be discouraged, for the your God will be with you wherever you go."
Joshua 1:9 NIV
Rebecca's Comments: I wrote this song for "Stand Up 2000" in the
Detroit Silverdome.
My Hope
Scripture Reference: "Find rest, O my soul, in God alone: my hope comes
from Him." Psalms 62:5 NIV
Rebecca's Comments: Hope. It is something we all seek no matter our
background, our occupation, or where we live. This is a worship song that points
to Jesus as the hope for us all.
