Matt Maher - Glory (Let There Be Peace) [Official Lyric Video]

 

One star burns in the darkness
Shines with the promise, Emmanuel
One child born in the stillness
Living within us, Emmanuel

We're singing glory, glory
Let there be peace, let there be peace
Singing glory, glory,
Let there be peace, let it is start in me

One voice speaks for the voiceless
Hope for the hopeless, Emmanuel
One love brings us together
Now and forever, Emmanuel

We're singing glory, glory
Let there be peace, let there be peace
Singing glory, glory,
Let there be peace, let it is start in me

Do not be afraid His love is strong enough to save us
Nothing stands in the way His love is strong enough to lead us
Do not be afraid His love is strong enough to save us
Nothing stands in the way His love is strong enough to lead us

We sing glory, glory let there be peace, let there be peace
Singing glory, glory let there be peace, let it start in me
Singing glory, glory let there be peace, let there be peace
Singing glory, glory let there be peace, let it start in me
Let there be peace, let it start in me

Revelation 2:10 

¹⁰ Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor’s crown.

Achshav Karov 
(Closer Now) "Hayarkon Park" Tel- Aviv 3.7.14

Sitting on the beach, 
across from the water

Facing foam of the waves 
that is forgotten in the sand.

And the streams still flow.

A heart that throbs remembers everything

What happened in our childhood

What we've become

Big hopes carried in the wind

The fall of autumn leaves 

returned memories

And then, everything touches me

All the wonders of the day

So come, stand next to me for a
moment

Close now, close now

A star falls near us

And again, prayers are said for him

A light of hopes covers us

It's forever, and won't be passed by

Matt Maher-Empty And Beautiful

My past won't stop haunting me

In this prison there's a fight between

Who I am and who I used to be

This thorn in my side is a grace

For because of it the flesh and blood of God

Was offered in my place, my place

You fought the fight in me

You chased me down and finished the race

I was blind but now I see

Jesus You kept the faith in me

Where did my best friends go?

In my defense they disappeared

Just like Your friends did to You, oh Lord

But You were there, You gave me strength

So this little one might come to know

The glory of Your name, Your name

You fought the fight in me

You chased me down and finished the race

I was blind but now I see

Jesus You kept the faith in me

Awaiting, set apart like incense to Your heart

A libation I'm pouring out

Empty and beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

You fought the fight in me

You chased me down and finished the race

I was blind but now I see

Jesus You kept the faith in me

You fought the fight in me

You chased me down and finished the race

I was blind but now I see

Jesus You kept the faith in me

Jesus You kept the faith in me

Savior, You kept the faith in me

Home Tonight - Chris Rice

I've come to my senses

How did I get so far from home

The lies dissipating

Revealing I'm so alone

And I remember now how strong love can be

And I wonder how did I ever leave

Burn your fire on the altar

Leave a candle on the porch

I'm still too far away to see it

But I'm aching for its warmth

And I'm so tired and cold and dark and lonesome

But still I hear your song inside

So sing it louder if you want me home tonight

Sing it loud now, 'cause I'm comin' home tonight

This isn't the first time

I've wandered away from home before

So you'd have every reason

To slam and dead-bolt the door

And I remember now how strong your love can be

And I wonder how you might welcome me

Burn your fire on the altar

Leave a candle on the porch

I'm still too far away to see it

But I'm aching for its warmth

And I'm so tired and cold and dark and lonesome

But still I hear your song inside

So sing it louder if you want me home tonight

Sing it loud now, 'cause I'm comin' home tonight

Into your arms, to my back yard

Where I used to play

How I miss the days...

So burn your fire on the altar

Leave a candle on the porch

I'm still too far away to see it

But I'm aching for its warmth

And I'm so tired and cold and dark and lonesome

But still I hear your song inside

So sing it louder if you want me home tonight

Sing it loud now, 'cause I'm comin' home tonight

Chris Rice - My Tree

On a hill far away stands a tall mighty tree
Where a boy and a girl used to take turns pushing the tire swing
I remember the pocketknife in hand
And her name in my heart
And thinkin' there ain't no way for a boy to contain
The love that he feels inside

So I carved her name into my tree
Then I carved a heart around her name
Then I carved an arrow through the heart
Just to say "I love you"

Now on a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
The emblem of suffering and shame
I remember the nails through my hands
And your name in my heart
And how in their wordless way the nails explain
The love that I feel inside

As they carved your name into my tree
Where I wrapped my heart around your name
Then I took your arrow through my heart
Just to say, "I love you"
Just to say, "I love you"

Now I can never forget how much you mean to me
'Cause I will always remember whenever I see

Where I carved your name into my tree
Where I wrapped my heart around your name
Then I took your arrow through my heart
Just to say, "I love you"
Just to say, "I love you"

I really love you
