Song of the week -- Thousand Foot Krutch, Already home

Hello people! how was your Christmas? Mine was great! but sadly that season is gone...;( Lets see what song I have for you this "inbetween" season:

English: Thousand Foot Krutch performing at Wonder Jam 2009. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

From their album "welcome to the masquerade":

The trouble with truth is it never lies,
and the trouble with wrong that its never right,
so I rest my head onto your light.

The trouble with peace is it never fights,
and the trouble with love that its always blind.
I want to walk to the edge of it tonight, and I fall down.

I'm on my knees cause your everthing I need,
and I've made a mess of myself on my own.
Well I am on my face and I'm calling out your name,
and I won't runaway cause I'm already home.

The trouble with tears is that they dry,
and the trouble with faith made me wanna cry.
I've never felt so much like I'm alive,
I wanna open my eyes and see your face.
If I have to wait a thousand days,
I'd still be right here right next to you.

And I fall down,
I'm on my knees cause your everthing I need,
and I've made a mess of myself on my own.
And now I am on my face and I'm calling out your name,
and I won't runaway cause I'm already home.

and I won't runaway,
I won't runaway,
I won't runaway cause I'm already home.

And I know I haven't always been
Where you wanted me
I'm standin' here, arms out
Broken down
Before you
I know I haven't always been,
where you wanted me,
Standin' here, arms out
Broken down

I'm on my knees cause your everthing I need,
and I've made a mess of myself on my own.
And now I am on my face and I'm calling out your name,
and I won't runaway cause I'm already home.

O Come, Emmanuel--The Piano Guys

IT'S THE END OF THE WORLLLDDDD!!!!! OHHH NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Or not. ;) 

Hey My Peoplez's!

This is your host Jenessa Joy, here with some Christmas music for you. It`s 4 days `til Christmas, (absolutely CRA-ZY right?!) bringing you this stunning music by The Piano Guys! 

This song is not from an album, (thus no cover art)! It is just instrumental, but a breathtaking one. :) Hope you enjoy listening to it!! I will be posting the lyrics of 'O Come, O Come,  Emmanuel' regardless. 

Oh, Come, Oh, Come Emmanuel 
Oh, come, oh, come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel!
Oh, come, our Wisdom from on high,
Who ordered all things mightily;
To us the path of knowledge show,
and teach us in her ways to go.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel!
Oh, come, oh, come, our Lord of might,
Who to your tribes on Sinai's height
In ancient times gave holy law,
In cloud and majesty and awe.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel!
Oh, come O Rod of Jesse's stem,
From ev'ry foe deliver them
That trust your mighty pow'r to save;
Bring them in vict'ry through the grave.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel!
Oh, come, O Key of David, come,
And open wide our heav'nly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel!
Oh, come, our Dayspring from on high,
And cheer us by your drawing nigh,
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death's dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel!
Oh, come, Desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of all mankind;
Oh, bid our sad divisions cease,
And be yourself our King of Peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel!`

At the Celebration of our Saviour!

Praise song of the week -- Kutless, This is Christmas

Apparently I was supposed to have a song for you earlier...instead I decided it best for you to view Jen's song for a week as per usual. So without further a due here is this weeks praise song by Kutless:

Cover of Kutless

From their album "This is Christmas"

Do you find it hard to sleep til' night,

Resting by the Christmas lights?

Could there be something you forgot?

Beyond the bows, and mistletoes,

The tree with presents wrapped below,

There's more to this than you had ever thought?

Have we lost the reason that we celebrate each year?

[Chorus:]

What is Christmas?

If there never was a Savior wrapped in a manger.

What is Christmas without Christ?

Remember how the story goes,

God's gift was wrapped in swaddling clothes,

Beneath the star, one great and holy night.

The shepherds heard the angels sing,

The wise man brought an offering,

Peace on Earth began in Bethelethm

Have we lost the reason that we celebrate each year?

[Chorus:]

What is Christmas?

If there never was a Savior wrapped in a manger.

What is Christmas?

If the angels never sang 'Glory to the new born king?'

What is Christmas without Christ?

There'd be no gloria

In excelsis deo

Gloria

In excelsis deo

What is Christmas?

If there never was a Savior wrapped in a manger.

What is Christmas without Christ?

This is Christmas,

It’s all about the Savior wrapped in a manger.

This is Christmas,

Because of Jesus Christ!

This is Christmas,

Because of Christ!

Because of Christ!

(thanks to azlyrics.com for the lyrics)

Have a merry Christmas!

Keep on keeping on

It's from there album: "Light Up The Sky."

Enjoy the song everybody! :)

Lyrics compliments of azlyrics.com

"Lift Me Up"

You lift me up with your love
You lift me up with your love
You lift me up with your love
You lift me up

Waiting for the sunrise
Waiting for the day
Waiting for a sign
That I'm where you want me to be

You know my heart is heavy
And the hurt is deep
But when I feel like giving up
You're reminding me
That we all fall down sometimes
But when I hit the ground

You lift me up when I am weak
Your arms wrap around me
Your love catches me so I'm letting go
You lift me up when I can't see
Your heart is all that I need
Your love carries me so I'm letting go

You lift me up with your love
You lift me up with your love
You lift me up with your love
You lift me up

I know I'm not perfect
I know I make mistakes
I know that I have let you down
But you love me the same

And when I'm surrounded
When I lose my way
When I'm crying out and falling down
You are here to

Lift me up when I am weak
Your arms wrap around me
Your love catches me so I'm letting go
You lift me up when I can't see
Your heart is all that I need
Your love carries me so I'm letting go

I can see the dawn is breaking
I am feeling overtaken with your love
With your love
I don't know what I can offer
In this moment I surrender to your love
To your love

You lift me up when I am weak
Your arms wrap around me
Your love catches me so I'm letting go

You lift me up when I am weak
Your arms wrap around me
Your love catches me so I'm letting go
You lift me up when I can't see
Your heart is all that I need
Your love carries me so I'm letting go

I can see the dawn is breaking
I am feeling overtaken with your love

You lift me up with your love
You lift me up with your love
You lift me up with your love
You lift me up

Rise Up Lift Ya Eyes Up
Get Up Stand Up Throw Ya Hands Up Just...

Sick Of All Lies Sick Of The Compromise
Sick Of The Way We Live Our Lives And Run And Hide
Sick Of The Times We Turn Our Head Close Our Eyes
Can You Hear The Cries When You Gonna Rise?
Stand Up! My People In The Place Where You At?
Stand Up! God's People Who Aint Ashamed Where You At?
Stand Up! If You Say You Know His Name Where You At?
Stand Up! Cause You Gotta Proclaim What You Have
Rise Up! No More Hiding No Time For Crying
You Can't Be The Light Of The World When You Aint Shining
I'm Straight Rhyming So You'll Be Straight Recognizing
You Aint Trying You Just Sitting There Staight Whining
While The Whole World Around You Just Straight Dying
So Keep In Mind Jesus Lion Of Zion
Gave His Life So You And I Wouldn't Be Trying So Quit Hiding It's Time For You To Start Rising

[Chorus]

To All My Real Live People In The Spot Now
Rise Up And Let Me See What You Got Now
We Blowing Holes In Ya Speakers When We Rock Now
We Keep It Hot Now Every Time We Rock Towns
That's How We Got Down Every Time We Drop Sounds
So You Know You Better Listen When I Talk Now
Cause We Never Stop Now Or Let Ya Guard Down
Cause If You Got The Answer Why Keep It Locked Down?

[Trevor:]
How Many People Want To See This Rock Now
Go Bump It In Your Trunk Rolling With The Top Down
Hold On Cause I'm Letting The Missile Drop Now
No Hostages Cause We're Taking Your Whole Block Down
Yo We Hot But Not Tropic
In The Mall Might Catch Me In A Hot Topic
We Can Talk If Somebody Wanna Knock It
Cause We Coming At Dangerous Speeds Ya Can't Stop It

(Thanks to AZlyrics for the lyrics)

Tell the World, by Lecrae---Praise Song of the Week

HELLO MY PEOPLEZ'S!
This is Praise Song of the Week, here with one of your hosts, Jenessa Joy! :)

Today I'm giving you a different type of song. I'm giving you a rap song. If you're not a fan of rap, DON'T STOP READING. A lot of Christian rappers use there ryhmes to spell out an amazing message, so please listen.

This is from the rapper Lecrae, featuring Mali Music. It's called "Tell the World."

This song is from his most recent album, "Gravity."

Listen up, peoplez's! :)

Lyrics---(provided by lyricfreak.com

"(Chorus) 
Now I'mma tell the world, tell em 
I'mma tell it everywhere I go 
Tell the world, tell em 
Yea I'mma billboard 
Tell the world, tell em 
Cast Him like a radio 
Tell the world you are to know 
I'm brand new 

(Verse 1) 
Uh, I know one thing's true 
I don't even really deserve to know you 
But I... I'm a witness that you did this 
And I'm brand new so I... I'm ready to go 
And I'mma tell the world what they need to know 
A slave to myself but you let me go 
I tried gettin high but it left me low 
You did, what they could never do 
You cleaned up my soul and gave me life, I'm so brand new 
And that's all that matters 
I aint love you first, but you first loved me 
In my heart I cursed ya, but you set me free 
I gave you no reason to give me new seasons, to give me new life, new 
Breathin 
But you hung there bleedin 
And you died for my lies, and my cheatin, my lust, and my greedin 
What is a man, huh? that you're mindful of em? 
And what do I have to deserve this love? 

(Chorus) 
Tryna make the moments last 
Holdin on to the past 
But like a hero in a dream 
Christ came and He rescused me! 
Now I'mma tell the world, tell the world, tell em 
I'mma tell it everywhere I go 
Tell the world, tell em 
Yea I'mma billboard 
Tell the world, tell em 
Cast Him like a radio 
Tell the world you are to know 
I'm brand new 
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/l/lecrae/tell+the+world_21034627.html ] 
(Verse 2) 
I can't offer you nothin, but your care and kindness keep comin 
And your love is so unconditional, I get butterflies in my stomach 
I got the old me in the rearview, gotta new me, gotta clear view 
I was so dead, I couldn't hear you 
Too deep in sin to come near you 
But you drew me in, and cleaned me up 
And take me home and beamed me up 
Before you do, just let me tell the truth 
And let these folks know that I done seeing your love 
And it's everlastin, infinite 
It goes on and on, you can't measure it 
Can't quench your love, they can't separate us from the love of God 
It's no estimate 
My face look the same, my frame done rearranged 
But I changed, I promise I aint the same 
Your love is so deep, you suffered and took pain 
And died on the cross to gimme a new name 
Aint nothin like I seen before 
I gotta beam to glow 
Was low, down, and dirty but you cleaned me Lord 
You looked after me, you keep rockin me 
Imma tell the world and aint nobody stoppin me 

(Chorus) 
Tryna make the moments last 
Holdin on to the past 
But like a hero in a dream 
Christ came and He rescused me! 
Now I'mma tell the world, tell the world, tell em 
I'mma tell it everywhere I go 
Tell the world, tell em 
Yea I'mma billboard 
Tell the world, tell em 
Cast Him like a radio 
Tell the world you are to know 
I'm brand new 

(Verse 3; 2 Corinthians 5:17) 
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, 
He is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 
Yea, I'm brand new 

(Chorus) 
Now I'mma tell the world, tell the world, tell em 
I'mma tell it everywhere I go 
Tell the world, tell em 
Yea I'mma billboard 
Tell the world, tell em 
Cast Him like a radio 
Tell the world you are to know 
I'm brand new"

Praise song of the week -- Disciple, Draw the line

Hey all you music lovers out there!! How're you doing?! Nathanial here giving you a song that I have been waiting to give you for too long! it's Disciple with their new song (as of 2012) Draw The Line!!

Cover of Disciple

From their new album "Oh God Save Us All"

Another crash, another fall, another failure 

Another choice I don't want to remember 
Been here too many times 
Every day's another fight 
I'm at war with the person I could be 
Give me a chance and I'll mess up a good thing 
But this is where it ends 
Yeah, this is where it ends 

chorus: 
this is where i draw the line 
this is the where the old me dies 
light a match, let it burn, kiss it goodbye, 
giving up what i was 
this is where i draw the line 

(whoa) 

Another battle I've lost fighting solo 
How many times must I learn what I already know? 
Can't do this on my own 
I wasn't meant to fight alone 
So I'm lifting my hands in surrender 
Take my faults and my flaws, make me better 
Cause this is where I end: right where You begin 


this is where i draw the line 
this is the where the old me dies 
light a match, let it burn, kiss it goodbye, 
giving up what i was 
this is where i draw the line 

whoa, whoa, 
set me on fire, 
set me on fire, 

burn me up, burn me up, burn me all the way, 
til there's nothing left but You 
burn me up, burn me up, burn me all the way, 
til there's nothing left but You 

set me on fire, cuz'... 

this is where i draw the line 
this is the where the old me dies 
light a match, let it burn, kiss it goodbye, 
giving up what i was 
this is where i draw the line 

burn me up, burn me up, 
burn me all the way, 
til there's nothing left but You 
burn me up, burn me up, 
burn me all the way, 
til there's nothing left but You 

this is where i draw the line
