StandFour - Eight Nights - Hanukkah Mashup


Eight nights I stay up starin' at those candles,
They tell the story that occurred,
Eight nights we're thankful for that small miracle,
our prayers were answered and our voices heard

When One night turned to eight, that's why we celebrate,
In the dark of night the candles stand for,
Oh the candles stand for,
The candles stand for.
8 nights that we know [cuz it's finally here]....we're not alone. [cuz it's finally here]

Cmon its Chanukah we've waited for a whole a year
Just light a spark in the dark and spread the cheer,
Cuz on these holiday nights,
Grab your friends, celebrate, cuz it's finally here

8 nights remember the war we won
The Greeks tried to erase who we are
8 nights we're thankful to God above
Who showed he's even with us in the dark

When one night turned to eight, that's why we celebrate,
In the dark of night the candles stand for,
Oh the candles stand for,
The candles stand for.
8 nights that we know....[not alone] [no we're not alone] [cuz it's finally here] not alone.

Let's go Dreidel Dreidel Dreidel Oh I shall play
I dropped a jelly donut on my pants oy vey
Cuz when you're flipping latkas you can't go wrong
making random jewish references in a chanuka song

Dreidel Dreidel Dreidel Oh I shall play
I dropped a jelly donut on my pants oy vey
Cuz when you're flipping latkas you can't go wrong
making random jewish references in a chanuka song

Eight nights I stay up starin' at those candles,
They tell the story that occurred,
Eight nights we're thankful for that small miracle,
Prayers were answered, our voices heard

When one night turned to eight, that's why we celebrate,
In the dark of night the candles stand for,
Oh the candles stand for,
The candles stand for.
8 nights that we know...
[cuz it's finally here], 8 nights that we know, [cuz it's finally here] 8 nights that we know - no we're not alone.

Pageviews all time history: 9000

Today I discovered that the Blog has reached 9000 page-views since the starter. And my questions are:
Can this be an accurate figure?
Who are the viewers?
I know a few of you; but the rest 8997, who are you?

My only wish from the start and it still is;  that somebody out there will find her or his way to Jesus, the Savior, the Healer, the Comforter, the Redeemer, the sovereign God Almighty and receive Him in his or her heart. Salvation; the gift of Life.

So whoever you are: God bless you and keep you from all evil!

Att lämna allt - Frank Ådahl - To leave everything.






I heard no voices
everything was peaceful and quiet
when he looked at me and said
I am light and joy
I am struggle and strife
Consider what I tell you

To leave everything and follow me
can cost you your life
but I will give you much more.
To walk with me and obey me
is still worth its price
for I am on your side

I saw no visions
but everything became bright and quiet
when he showed me my way
You will find the meaning of life
but your cross may be heavy
Remember what I tell you.

To leave everything and follow me
can cost you your life
but I will give you much more
To walk with me and obey me
is still worth its price
for I am on your side

To leave everything and follow me
it will costs you your life
but I will give you much more
To walk with me and obey me
is still worth its price
for I am on your side

for I am on your side

_Oh, I am on your side
Frank Ådahl.

An ordinary person.





Do not turn away
           Show me who you are             
Hide not your defeat
do not forget that you are  
an ordinary person
and I need you

So give me your faults,
give me your betrayal
and the grief shown in your face
Do not forget that you are
an  orninary person.
and I love you

So get up, wipe the tears.
Make new efforts!
You have so much left to give
You have so many wonderful
paths to wander.
And I want to show you
how much I love you

Do not turn away
show me who you are
Hide not your defeat
Do not forget that you are
an ordinary person
and I need you.

… And  I love you

A moment with Jesus.

En liten stund med Jesus,
o, vad den jämnar allt
och ger åt hela livet
en ny och ljus gestalt
när jag är trött av vägen
och allt som möter mig,
en liten stund med Jesus,
och allt förändrar sig


En liten stund med Jesus,
vad kraft den har med sig,
vad lust den ger att vandra
på Herrens vilja stig
Vad mod den ger att leva
och lida för Hans namn
En ljuvlig försmak redan
och vilan i Hans famn

Så ge mig, käre Herre
ja, ge mig ofta då
en liten stund med Jesus
i hemmets tysta vrå
Mitt hjärtats djupa längtan
det är denna enda blott:
En evighet med Jesus
och allt, ja allt är gott!

A moment with Jesus
o, what it evens everything
and provides for a lifetime
a new light in life.
When I'm tired of the way
and everything that meets me here
a moment with Jesus,
changes everything.
