Words with friends

Recently I’ve entered the world of ‘words with friends’. It’s a fun scrabble game where one can enjoy and compete with other people. I personally have great fun coming up with words in order to win and show my ‘ok’ vocabulary and ‘awesome’ guessing skills.

But even more, I’ve come to find even greater joy in doing a different kind of word-involving activity – ‘composing with friends’. I personally have so much fun and feel so fulfilled in being able to show off GOD by declaring who He is and singing of His Word promises.

I would like to share these three songs with you today.

Heavenward by Flo and Al

Verse 1:

I have not yet attained

I am not yet perfected

But reach to what lies ahead

My mind is set on Heaven

Pre-Chorus:

And I press on, to make it my own

You have made me Yours

Chorus:

And I press on, I push forward

Forgetting what’s behind

I run toward, and I’ll reach the goal

You’ve called me Heavenward

Verse 2:

You are beckoning me onward

You’ve called to me so wondrously

And I reach forward not turning back

My heart is set on Heaven

Bridge:

My eyes are set on just one thing

As a child of the Heavenly King

Called me by my name

Now I see, a glimpse, into eternity

To You by Nat, Yokho and Al

Verse 1:

With the little that I have

I lift it up into Your hands

To the Author of my faith

I raise it up to You today

Pre-Chorus:

I desire more of You

And less of who I am

Chorus:

Show me Your life

Show me Your heart

Show me Your mercy

Show me Your love

Show me Your ways

Show me Your truth, Your grace

Verse 2:

With all You’ve given me

Lord, I use it for Your glory

Perfecter of my faith

My life points to You always

You Know by Lydia, Petunia, Nat and Al (Allan cover)

Verse 1:

When I’m troubled, weary, scared

You pull me out, give me peace, You care

When I’m lost and can’t find the light

You are the guide that brightly shines

Chorus:

You know, what You have in store for me

and if I look to You I know I’ll carry on

You know, where You’re brining me

So I’ll never have to worry, ’cause You’re faithful

Hope, fills me up (fills me up)

Verse 2:

When I can’t fix the pieces of my heart

In love, You come and mend every part

When the pain seems too much to bear

You are the strength that helps me overcome
