The Bridge

I have heard of this story long time ago. And it still brings tears to my eyes.

Never Alone

By Barlow Girl

I waited for you today
But you didn't show
No no no
I needed You today
So where did You go?
You told me to call
Said You'd be there
And though I haven't seen You
Are You still there?

I cried out with no reply
And I can't feel You by my side
So I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here and I'm never alone
[ http://www.rare-lyrics.com ]

And though I cannot see You
And I can't explain why
Such a deep, deep reassurance
You've placed in my life

We cannot separate
'Cause You're part of me
And though You're invisible
I'll trust the unseen

Once Again By Matt Redman

Jesus Christ, I think upon Your sacrifice
You became nothing
Poured out to death
Many times, I've wondered at your gift of life
I'm in that place once again
I'm in that place once again
And once again I look upon the cross where You died
I'm humbled by Your mercy and I'm broken inside
Once again I thank You,
Once again I pour out my life
Now You are exhalted to the highest place
King of the Heavens, where one day I'll bow
But for now, I'll marvel at Your saving grace
I'm full of praise once again
Oh I'm full of praise once again
And once again I look upon the cross where You died
I'm humbled by Your mercy and I'm broken inside
Once again I thank You
Once again I pour out my life
Thank you for the cross
Thank you for the cross
Thank you for the cross, my friend
And once again I look upon the cross where You died
I'm humbled by Your mercy and I'm broken inside
Once again I thank You
Once again I pour out my life

The Hard Way

some people gotta learn the hardway
I guess I'm the kinda guy that has
to find out for myself
I had to learn the hardway, father
I'm on my knees and I'm crying for help
now I've been high and I've been low
I've been some places that you will not go
I never thought there would come the day
when I wished I never would've lived this way
but I've been searching for a long time
I thought the devil was a friend of mine
I turned my back on everything that was true
and wasted years that belonged to you
some people gotta learn the hardway
I guess I'm the kinda guy that has
to find out for myself
I had to learn the hardway, father
[ Find more Lyrics at www.mp3lyrics.org/IJP ]
I'm on my knees and I'm crying for help
it took so long for me to see
that I'm a victim of nature and me
left to myself, I realize
I am the maker of my own demise
but you accept me every time and again
and never mention just how selfish I've been
why must it always take me so long to see
that I have fallen, but you will forgive me
some people gotta learn the hardway
I guess I'm the kinda guy that has
to find out for myself
I had to learn the hardway, father
I'm on my knees and I'm crying for help
the warning signs are like flares in the night
still I proceed my greed is in spite
of the fire I know that's bound to burn
why is it that I always gotta learn the hardway
the hardway
I had to learn the hardway
the hardway
the hardway
I had to learn the hardway

Supernatural By DC Talk

This world's a tortured place to be
So many things to torment me
And as I stumble down this road it takes a toll
These days and nights I turn to You
No human hand can pull me through
No cosmic force or magic brew will ever do
But I can see it coming
You're not so far away
'Cause I can feel Your power
Surging through the whole of me
(chorus 1)
God is there and He is watching
He tells me all is well (it's supernatural)
God is there, there's no denying
He's supernatural (it's supernatural)
Supernatural
Beyond this physical terrain
There's an invisible domain
Where angels battle over souls in vast array
But down on earth is where I am
No wings to fly, no place to stand
Here on my knees I am a stranger in this land
I need an intervention
A touch of providence
It goes beyond religion
To my very circumstance
(repeat chorus 1)
(chorus 2)
God is there and He is watching
The signs are everywhere (the signs are everywhere)
God is there, there's no denying
It's supernatural (it's supernatural)
Supernatural
(bridge)
In six days, the universe was made
Supernatural
And from the dead a man was raised
Supernatural
They say He walked across the waves
Supernatural
And I'll believe it to my grave
But I can see You coming
You're not so far away
'Cause I can feel Your power
Surging through the whole of me
[Yeah, yeah, yeah]
[God is supernatural]
[Yeah, yeah, yeah]
(repeat chorus)
[Some things just can't be explained]

Jesus Is Just Alright

Do do do dupe dupe
Do do do dupe
Do do do dupe dupem dupe dopem do
[Check it for me one time]
[Ohhhh, yeah yeah]

(chorus)
Jesus is still alright with me
Jesus is still alright, oh yeah
Jesus is still alright with me
Jesus is still alright

Toby Mac, and the Mac is back no slack
On a DC track that's jacked, beyond comprehension
I believe that I failed to mention that
There's a lack of recognition
When it comes to His position
Cause if Christ can't be crossed over,
Then I'll keep my beat up nova

(repeat chorus 1)

(chorus 2)
I don't care what they may say
I don't care what they may do
I don't care what they may say
Jesus is still alright

Back in place, and I'm all up in your face
With a rhyme that I embrace, like a mother to her child
I'm kickin' it Jesus style
To the ones that think they heard
I did use the "J" word
Cause I ain't too soft to say it
Even if DJ's don't play it

do do do dupe dupem dupe dopem do (3x)
Jesus is still alright
[Oh, I'm hopin' and I'm praying]

Jesus is still alright
Jesus still alright, oh yeah
Jesus is still alright
Jesus is still alright
[oh yeah]

(breakdown)
Jesus is alright, I know He's alright
Jesus is alright, you know He's alright
Jesus is alright, we know He's alright
Jesus is alright, we know He's alright

[Now we come to the pay off]

I'm down with the one that is known as the Son
Of the G to the O to the D never done
With the flow, in the know, on the go like a pro
Not for show cause I ain't in the biz for the dough
Or the me, or the ray, all the dough's gotta stay,
Cause I can't, no I can't, take it home anyway
Never trite when I write cause the Lord is my light
And His Word is my bond so ya know, He's alright

(repeat choruses 1 and 2)

[think about it...]

Consume Me

[Oh, shah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah]
[Nah nah, nah, nah nah, nah]
[Shah dah dop dop dop dee dah]
[Nah nah, nah, nah nah, nah]

Lovely traces
I can sense You in everything
The way that You move me
Takes me far away
I seek no escape
I'm dreaming through Your eyes
I am wandering through Your mind
I'm overtaken by the way that You deliver me
I'm transcended
There's no place I'd rather be
Than here in Heaven
Without You I'm incomplete
It's hopeless

(chorus)
You consume me, You consume me
Like a burning flame running through my veins
You consume me moving through me
Anytime, anyplace You invade my space
You consume me, You consume me

Wholly devoted
I immerse myself in You
Baptize me in Your love
Cause drowning in the thought of You
Floods my soul
I'm taken by the things You do
God, You know
It doesn't matter what I lose
I'm Yours (repeat chorus)

(bridge) I am in Your hands
Under Your command
Like a puppet on a string
[Lord you know]
I am willing to
Put my faith in You
So before the world I sing
[Consume me]

You consume me, You consume me
Burning flame, through my veins
You consume me moving through me
Anytime, anyplace You invade my space
You consume me [oh, you know that I surrender]
I am consumed, I'm consumed with You

There's no other way I can fly
It's You and I, You and I
There's no other way I can fly

In the Light

I keep trying to find a life
On my own, apart from You
I am the king of excuses
I've got one for every selfish thing I do
What's going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior
(chorus)
I wanna be in the Light
As You are in the Light
I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens
Oh, Lord be my Light and be my salvation
Cause all I want is to be in the Light
All I want is to be in the Light
The disease of self runs through my blood
It's a cancer fatal to my soul
Every attempt on my behalf has failed
To bring this sickness under control
Tell me, what's going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior
(repeat chorus)
Honesty becomes me
[There's nothing left to lose]
The secrets that did run me
[In Your presence are defused]
Pride has no position
[And riches have no worth]
The fame that once did cover me
[Has been sentenced to this Earth]
Has been sentenced to this Earth
Tell me, what's going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior
(repeat chorus 2x)
[There's no other place that I want to be]
[No other place that I can see]
[A place to be that's just right]
[Someday I'm gonna be in the Light]
[You are in the Light]
[That's where I need to be]
[That's right where I need to be]

Jesus Freak

By DC Talk


[What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus Freak?
What will people do
When they find that's it's true?]

Separated, I cut myself clean
From a past that comes back in my darkest of dreams
Been apprehended by a spiritual force
And a grace that replaced all the me I've divorced

I saw a man with tat on his big fat belly
It wiggled around like marmalade jelly
It took me a while to catch what it said
Cause I had to match the rhythm
Of his belly with my head
'Jesus Saves' is what it raved in a typical tattoo green
He stood on a box in the middle of the city
And claimed he had a dream

(chorus)
What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth

Kamikaze, my death is gain
I've been marked by my Maker
A peculiar display
The high and lofty, they see me as weak
Cause I won't live and die for the power they seek

There was a man from the desert with naps in his head
The sand that he walked was also his bed
The words that he spoke made the people assume
There wasn't too much left in the upper room
With skins on his back and hair on his face
They thought he was strange by the locusts he ate
The Pharisees tripped when they heard him speak
Until the king took the head of this Jesus freak

(repeat chorus 2x)

People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger
People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger

(repeat chorus 2x)

What will people think
[What will people think]
What will people do
[What will people do]
I don't really care
[What else can I say]
There ain't no disguising the truth
[Jesus is the way]

Here I am to Worship

Light of the world
You stepped down into darkness
Opened my eyes, let me see
Beauty that made this heart adore You
Hope of a life spent with You

Here I am to worship

Here I am to bow down

Here I am to say that You're my God

You're altogether lovely

Altogether worthy

Altogether wonderful to me


King of all days
Oh so highly exalted
Glorious in Heaven above
Humbly You came to the earth You created
All for love's sake became poor


I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross

Imagine me Without You

As long as stars shine down from heaven
And the rivers run into the sea
Til the end of time forever
You're the only love I'll need

In my life You're all that matters
In my eyes the only truth I see
When my hopes and dreams have shattered
You're the one that's there for me

When I found You I was blessed
And I will never leave You, I need You

Chorus:
Imagine me without You
I'd be lost and so confused
I wouldn't last a day, I'd be afraid
Without You there to see me through

Imagine me without You
Lord, You know it's just impossible
Because of You, it's all brand new
My life is now worthwhile
I can't imagine me without You

When You caught me I was falling
You're love lifted me back on my feet
It was like You heard me calling
And You rush to set me free

When I found You I was blessed
And I will never leave You, I need You

Chorus

When I found You I was blessed
And I will never leave You, I need You oh

Chorus

I can't imagine me without You

Child of Mine

By Jaci Velasquez


You decided long ago
To let me into your deepest soul
You have given me
A private place
Then somehow you let it fade away
I know you so well
And I can tell
When you've been hiding something from me
Just let it go
Let my love flow
Let it bring you release

CHORUS 1
I have come
To breathe new life
Into the heart of a child of mine
I have come
To give you peace
So lift your head and believe

You were made
In a beautiful way
Born to be holy
And sure of your faith
Something inside you
Has led you astray
Now you're locked in a struggle
And it won't go away
I know you have been
Down on your knees
I saw you cryin' for mercy
Well how can I help
When you're still holdin' on
To somethin' more precious than Me

CHORUS 2
I have come to breathe new life
Into the heart of a child of mine
I have come
To lift you up
To set you free so believe

It's all about
Total surrender
It's all about
Total surrender
It's all about
Total surrender
Givin' it up when the goin' gets tough
Givin' it up when the goin' gets rough

On my Knees

By Jaci Velasquez

There are days when I feel the best of me is ready to begin
Then there days when I feel I'm letting go and soaring on the wind
'Cause I've learned in laughter or in pain, how to survive

I get on my knees, I get on my knees
There I am before the love that changes me
See I don't know how, but there's power
When I'm on my knees

I can be in a crowd, or by myself in almost anywhere
Wen I feel there's a need to talk with God, He is Emmanuel
When I close my eyes, no darkness there, there's only light

I get on my knees, I get on my knees
There I am before the love that changes me
See I don't know how, but there's power
In the blue skies, in the midnight, when I'm on my knees

I get on my knees, I get on my knees
There I am before the love that changes me
See I don't know how, but there's power
When I'm on my, ohh, when I'm on my, when I'm on my knees

How you Live

By Point of Grace

Wake up to the sunlight with your windows open
Don't hold in your anger or leave things unspoken
Wear your red dress, use your good dishes
Make a big mess and make lots of wishes

And have what you want, but want what you have
And don't spend your life looking back

Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances and let it all out
'Cause you won't regret it
Looking back from where you have been
'Cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you live

So go to the ballgames and go to the ballet
And go see your folks more than just on the holidays
Kiss all your children, dance with your wife
Tell your husband you love him every night

Don't run from the truth 'cause you can't get away, no
Face it and you'll be okay

(Chorus)

Oh, wherever you are and wherever you've been
Now is the time to begin
So give to the needy, and pray for the grieving
Even when you don't think that you can
'Cause all that you do is bound to come back to you
So think of your fellow man
And make peace with God, and make peace with yourself
'Cause in the end, there's nobody else

(Chorus)

God of Our Yesterdays

When we were in the darkest night
And wondered if our eyes would ever see the light
You were there Lord.
When we were in the stormy gale
And wondered if we´d ever live in peace again
You were there Lord
You were there in the struggle
You were there in the fight
You were there all the time.

We praise You, the God of our yesterdays
We praise You, the God who is here today
We praise You - our God as tomorrow comes.

And whatever lies ahead
Whatever roads our grateful hearts will come to tread
You´ll be there Lord
We will fix our eyes on You,
And know that there is grace enough to see us through
You´ll be there Lord.
You´ll be there in the struggle
You´ll be there in the fight
You´ll be there all the time

We praise You, the God of our yesterdays
We praise You, the God who is here today
We praise You - our God as tomorrow comes
We thank You - for grace in our yesterdays
We thank You - for peace in our hearts today
We thank You - our joy, as tomorrow comes.
We will trust God.

You´re always closer than we know
Always more involved and in control
We will trust our lives to You -
The One who was and is and is to come

Take it to the Streets

by Matt Redman

I am not a stranger to mercy, for you found me,
Wrapped your truth around me.
I am not a stranger to grace
I have seen it in Your face.
I am not a stranger to kindness;
We´re the broken with Your life inside us
You have brought Your gospel to me,
And I breathe it every day.

How did I become Your miracle?
Now to take Your truth and tell the world…

I´m going to take it to the streets,
I´m going to sing it ´til we meet.
Heaven is open,
Come on all the earth rejoice.
I´m going to take it to the streets,
Wake up the dead heart from its sleep.
Heaven is open,
Now´s the time to raise our voice.

I will tell the world of this mercy, for You found me,
Wrapped Your truth around me.
I will tell the world of this grace
I have seen it at Your cross.
I will tell the world of this kindness
We´re the broken with Your life inside us.
You have brought Your gospel to me;
Help me live it every day.

How did we become Your miracles?
Now to take Your truth and tell the world.

Healing Rain

by Michael W. Smith

Healing rain is coming down
It's coming nearer to this old town
Rich and poor, weak and strong
It's bringing mercy, it won't be long

Healing rain is coming down
It's coming closer to the lost and found
Tears of joy, and tears of shame
Are washed forever in Jesus' name

Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain

Lift your heads, let us return
To the mercy seat where time began
And in your eyes, I see the pain
Come soak this dry heart with healing rain

And only You, the Son of man
Can take a leper and let him stand
So lift your hands, they can be held
By someone greater, the great I Am

Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain

To be washed in Heaven's rain...

Healing rain is falling down
Healing rain is falling down
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid...

Shine

Lord we have seen the rising sun, awakening the early dawn,
And we´re rising up to give you praise.
Lord we have seen the stars and moon, see how they shine,
They shine for you,
And You´re calling us to do the same.
So we rise up with a song, and we rise up with a cry
And we´re giving you our lives.

We will shine like stars in the universe,
Holding out Your truth in the darkest place.
We´ll be living for Your glory,
Jesus we´ll be living for Your glory.
We will burn so bright with Your praise O God,
And declare Your light to this broken world.
We´ll be living for Your glory,
Jesus we´ll be living for Your glory.

Like the sun so radiantly
Sending light for all to see,
Let your holy church arise
Exploding into life,
Like a supernova´s light,
Set your holy church on fire;
We will shine.

You Never Let Go

(To listen click here)

Even though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death,
Your perfect love is casting out fear.
And even when I´m caught in the middle
Of the storms of this life,
I won´t turn back; I know You are near.

And I will fear no evil,
For my God is with me.
And if my God is with me,
Whom then shall I fear? Whom then shall I fear?

O no, You never let go,
Through the calm and through the storm
O no, You never let go,
In every high and every low
O no, You never let go, Lord You never let go of me.


And I can see a light that is coming
for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare.
And there will be an end to these troubles,
But until that day comes,
We´ll live to know You here on the earth.

Yes, I can see a light that is coming
For the heart that holds on,
And there will be an end
To these troubles,
But until that day comes,
Still I will praise You,
Still I will praise You.

Happy Independence Day

I have done something wonderfully weird when I was a freshman in college.

I was in my room studying for my History class quiz. I read about the time when Emilio Aguinaldo declared our Independence last June 12, 1898. I read about the battle in Intramuros. It was stated that after the “mock battle” in Manila, the Spanish surrendered to the Americans, but no Filipinos were allowed to enter the city! Ouch! We can’t enter our own territory?!

Then I came to read about the time when our Flag was first raised and the Philippine’s National Anthem was first played in public. It was then that I felt the Nationalism inside of me. I stood up and sang our National Anthem, placed my right palm over my chest, and tears were falling on my cheeks. I realized I love my country so much. Our country has already suffered a lot!

June 12, 2008 marks the 110th anniversary of the declaration of the Independence of the Philippines from Spain. I still remember that weird thing I did 10 years ago.

Happy Independence Day to my beloved country – the Philippines. No matter what happens, I will always love my country. And I will always be proud to be a Filipino.
