I loooooveeeee this song:
By Forever Jones "He wants it all"

There's a voice that cries out in the silence,
searching for a heart that will love him,
longing for a child that will give him their all,
give it all, he wants it all

And there's a God that walks over the earth,
searching for a heart that is desperate,
And longing for a child that will give him their all,
give it all, he wants it all

And he says, love me, love me with your whole heart
he wants it all today
serve me, serve me with your life now
he wants it all today
bow down, let go of your idols
he wants it all today (x3)
He wants it all

And there's a God that walks over the earth,
he's searching for a heart that is desperate,
longing for a child that will give him their all,
give it all, he wants it all

And he says, love me, love me with your whole heart
he wants it all today
serve me, serve me with you life now
he wants it all today
bow down, let go of your idols
he wants it all today (x3)
He wants it all


all of you, more of you
wants it all today oh oh oh ( x3 2nd & 3rd line)
Today, today

He wants it all today, he wants it all today
so give it all

There's a voice that cries out in the silence,
searching for a heart that will love him,
longing for a child that will give him their all,
give it all

He wants it all






What's yours?
 
We were listening/ meditating on this song a few weeks ago. It is beautiful:up:!! Hmm a favorite song:scratch, girl that is too hard for me to answer. I have so many:blush: depending on what's going on, moods, etc. I guess if I had to pick it would be two (I just can't follow instructions can I? :giggle: ) old songs from the 19th century:shocked:. They are It is Well with My Soul and Come Ye Disconsolate. Not only are there some very inspiring stories behind the composers but, I strive daily to maintain the mindset of those lyrics. When I am old and gray I want to be able to sing these with 100% truth as I reflect. When my family is laying my remains to rest, I want them to sing this and KNOW that I am waiting for them to join me at their appointed times and that all is well- cause I finished my race:trophy:. http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/c/y/cydiscon.htm

Come, ye disconsolate, where’er ye languish,
Come, at the shrine of God fervently kneel;
Here bring your wounded hearts; here tell your anguish;
Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.
Joy of the desolate, light of the straying,
Hope when all others die, fadeless and pure;
Here speaks the Comforter, in God’s name saying,
“Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot cure.”
Come, ask the infidel what boon he brings us,
What charm for aching hearts he can reveal,
Sweet is that heavenly promise Hope sings us—
“Earth has no sorrow that God cannot heal.”

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Refrain
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
Refrain
My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
Refrain
For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
Refrain
But, Lord, ‘tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh trump of the angel! Oh voice of the Lord!
Blessèd hope, blessèd rest of my soul!
Refrain
And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

I have too many but my current fav. that's on repeat is Empty Me by William Murphy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_X37MrKadqI

Holy fire burn away
My desire for any thing
That is not of You,
And is of me
I want more of You
And less of me, yeah

Empty me
Empty me yeah
Fill,
Won't You fill me
With You

Holy fire burn away
My desire for any thing
That is not of You,
And is of me
 
My Everything (Praise Waiteth)

Oh Lord, You're my everything
Praise waiteth for Thee my king
Oh Thou who hearest every prayer
Oh Lord, You're my everything
(2x)

You, are my light
That shines in the midst of darkness
You, are my help
You're there in times of trouble
Where, would I be?
It not been for Your mercy
Oh Lord, You're my everything
Richard Smallwood

[Tenors]

Lord You're my everything
 
Last night I enjoyed watching Willa Dorsey's performance of the Children's Classic, "Jesus Loves Me"... can't get more pure in song that this, IMHO. Humble. Meek, like a child. I have to say it's one of my favorite Gospel songs..ever. Especially when I hear little children sing it...:yep:
 
Hmm, right now I love the worships songs that I sing to the Lord. No lyrics persay, it's just whatever comes out of my heart during my time of worship.

Outside of that I love:

Flow to you (Paul Morton)
How Great is our God (Paul Morton)
I choose to Worship (Wes Morgan)
More than Anything (Lamar Campbell)
Worship Medley (Jonathan Nelson)
He wants it All (Forever Jones)

My ALL TIME FAVORITE is a simple song that's often sung in COGIC churches. I don't know if there's a name for it, but it just goes, 'Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes' and then it goes, 'My soul says yes...." This song just takes me back.
 
Now Behold the Lamb- Kirk Franklin
I need you now-Smokie Norful
Incredible God, Incredible Praise
Grateful- H Walker
 
Love this song as well...listening to it now!

You Are God Alone

Verse 1:
There’s no question of Your greatness,
no searching of Your power.
All the wonder of Your glory,
to You forty years is but one hour.
Your knowledge is all encompassing,
to Your wisdom there is no end;
for You alone are God,
You are God alone.

Verse 2:
Your mercy is everlasting,
Your truth is here always.
You are He who was and is, and is to come.
Who is He that can number you day,
You’ve flung the sun to burn in space,
and the night’s moon powers light from day;
You are God alone.

Chorus:
Now unto the King,
eternal, immortal, invisible,
the only wise God,
the only wise God;
You alone are God,
for You are God alone.

Vamp:**
Be all glory and honor,
dominion, and power
forever and ever, amen.


Ending:
For You alone are God,
You are God alone


**The Vamp is very edifying and my fave part of the song :yep:

Oh, this song brought back bittersweet memories of my late mom. She use to sit at the piano singing this song, it was one of her favorites.

One of the songs I enjoy listening to is Your Grace and Mercy, by the Mississippi Mass Choir.
 
Hmm, right now I love the worships songs that I sing to the Lord. No lyrics persay, it's just whatever comes out of my heart during my time of worship. Those are called minute songs and are usually birth at revivals too. I love them!!

Outside of that I love:

Flow to you (Paul Morton)
How Great is our God (Paul Morton)
I choose to Worship (Wes Morgan) I love this song
More than Anything (Lamar Campbell)

My Soul says yes is beautiful music.

Minute songs are usually just a few words but very very powerful.

I love the LORD!


William Murphy is a bad boy when it comes to praise and worship. He has a song called CHANGE and I love it also. But I love his entire CD(s).

I like CeCe Winans we thirst for you. It's and oldie but goodie.

I'm getting tired of Yolanda Adams. She has a syndicated show her and plays her own music toooooo death along with Kirk Franklin. A bit too worldly. I listen to R&B when I want world music.
 
Draw Me Close To You : Donnie Mcclurkin

Verse 1: Draw me close to YOU
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear YOU say that I'm YOUR friend
YOU are my desire
No one else will do
No one else can take YOUR place
To feel the warmth of YOUR embrace
Help me find my way
Bring me back to YOU

Chorus: Oh Oh Oh
YOU're all I want
YOU're all I've ever needed
YOU're all I want
Help me know YOU are near

Oh Oh Oh
YOU're all I want
YOU're all I've ever needed
YOU're all I want
Help me know YOU are near

Help me know YOU are near
Help me know YOU are near


Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord
To the cross where thou has died
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord
To thine precious bleeding side

Center of My Joy (Richard Smallwood) - I love to meditate on the words while singing. That song always take me to another place.

Yes! I remember the church choir singing that when I was a small child. I listen to that and Holy Spirit, 2 of my favorite Richard Smallwood songs.

My favorite gospel song this week is Praise Him in Advance by Marvin Sapp. I really needed the message from that song. My favs change often.
 
I love that song. My aunt in Chicago sent my mom a CD with that song and she made me a copy. I heard both versions for the first time about a year ago... even though the song is like 30 years old.

Yes, my fave gospel songs are pretty much all old school standards, lol.

Another fave is I'm Going Up A'Yonder.
 
I have a list of gospel songs I love, but my favorites are:

Cast Your Cares- The Clark Sisters

and

Oh How I Love Jesus



Cast Your Cares- The Clark Sisters
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_-1xjSVmPw

Verse 1:
Tell me why the birds that fly,
fly so high, floating in the sky?
They soar into the air,
they coast the winds they dare
they know the Creator holds them,
they don't give a care.

From the north to the south,
the east and the west,
they dance across the waters,
the breeze they gently caress.

Chorus 1:
He never leaves them, He's there,
He always feeds them, He cares;
from the rising of the sun, they all began to hum,
when the morning comes, 'til the day is done.

If He cares that much for them,
I just need to cast all of my cares on Him.

If He cares that much for them,
I just need to cast all of my cares on Him.

Verse 2:
Tell me why the stars in the sky,
they shine so bright in the still of the night?
If He grows the grass in the fields,
He causes the grain to grow in the mill.
If He causes the robin to sing,
the sunshine and the rain I know He brings.

He causes the tree to bear fruit,
from the beginning of the seed and the root,
If He causes the seasons to change,
from the fall, winter, summer, and spring.

Chorus 2:
He never leaves them, He's there,
He always feeds them, He cares;
from the rising of the sun, they all began to hum,
when the morning comes, 'til the day is done.

Vamp:
From the rising of the sun,
they all began to hum,
when the morning comes,
'til the day is done.
 
I like that Forever Jones song too!!

My all time favorite is Order My Steps , but only the Barbara Johnson Tucker version. That woman can SANG!

I also love the fast remix version of No Weapon.
 
I always enjoy these powerful, anointed songs... two-fer deals.. :lol:
