Softly and Tenderly - Bart Millard
One day several years ago my father recommended that I listen to Bart Millard, and I thought that was a really funny name. I shortly after discovered that Bart Millard was a great guy and a great song writer. If you don't know, Bart Millard is the singer for the band Mercy Me and he is an active "tweeter".
He also has recorded a few solo albums where he arranges and records Hymns. These albums are Hymned No1 and Hymned again. Any guy who remaks a hymn with a ukulele, is A ok in my book. His smooth jazz version of Softly and Tenderly is really something special. Every time I hear it, it causes me to relax and be thankful that I am a child of God. This is a great one to add to your playlist if you haven't already.
Amazon: - Hymned No. 1
Amazon - Hymned Again
Lyrics to Softly and Tenderly:
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
calling for you and for me;
see, on the portals he's waiting and watching,
watching for you and for me.
Refrain:
Come home, come home;
ye who are weary come home;
earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
calling, O sinner, come home!

A MUST HAVE Song "Garden" by Needtobreathe
Here are some things I love about this band.
1. They are straight up amazing live. Better than their albums
2. Bear and Bo are fantastic names
3. They come from Possum Kingdom, SC. Fans of alternative music will understand that one
4. They have outstanding guitar solos (including slide guitar)
5. Bear rocks the long hair well
6. Their lyrics are top notch. Integrity and depth
7. Bear's voice...can you say amazing????
8. Harmonica
9. 5 star average on Amazon for the album the outsiders.
10. Can you say Banjo? I can't imagine it an easy task incorporating banjo's in rock and roll, but these guys make it work.
11. The legend Ed Roland (from Collective Soul) helped out with recording efforts.
Get to know this band. Pray for them, go see them live and buy their music.

Song: Garden
Band: Needtobreathe
Album: The Outsiders
Lyrics:
won't you take this cup from me
Cause fear has stolen all my sleep
If tomorrow means my death
Pray you'll save their souls with it
Let the songs I sing bring joy to you
Let the words I say confess my love
Let the notes I choose be your favorite tune
Father let my heart be after you
In this hour of doubt I see
Who I am is not just me
So give me strength to die myself
So love can live to tell the tale
Let the songs I sing bring joy to you
Let the words I say confess my love
Let the notes I choose be your favorite tune
Father let my heart be after you
Father let my heart be
For you
Let the songs I sing bring joy to you
Let the words I say confess my love
Let the notes I choose be your favorite tune
Father let my heart be after you

Lyrics:
I need to just admit
my faith is paper thin
I'm feeling so burned out
On religion
I say an empty prayer
I sing a tired song
I need to just admit that the passion's gone
And I want to get it back
You told me
Look for You and I will find
So I'm here
Like I'm searching for the first time
Revive me, Jesus
Make this cold heart start to move
Help me rediscover You
I want to learn to pray
The way that David prayed
I want my soul to burn when I hear Your name
I want to feel like new
I want to hunger for you
Bring me back to life like only You can do
Cause I don't want to stay the same
You told me
Look for You and I will find
So I'm here
Like I'm searching for the first time
Revive me, Jesus
Make this cold heart start to move
Help me rediscover You
Lord, I want to be Yours today
I want to know the passion of the saints
And how they were changed
You told me
Look for You and I will find
So I'm here
Like I'm searching for the first time
Revive me, Jesus
Make this cold heart start to move
I want to burn for You
Bring me back to life, Jesus
Help me rediscover You

As Long As There's You By Donnie McClurkin / The McClurkin Project
Lyrics:
If there were no gates of pearl
If there were no streets of gold
If there was no other world
And a land where we won't grow old
I'm not thinking about those sites
Won't be there to enjoy the view
I think heaven will be alright
As long as Your there, as long as there is You
If I never hear an angel sing
In a far off holy land
If I never hear a joy bell ring
Sing a chorus in a Christian band
I'm not thinking about those sites
Won't be there to enjoy the view
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/as-long-as-theres-you-lyrics-donnie-mcclurkin.html ]
I think heaven will be alright
As long as Your there, as long as there is You
CHORUS:
I'm not thinking about the sites
Won't be there to enjoy the view
I think heaven will be alright
As long as Your there, as long as there is You
Vamp:
When we all get to heaven
What a day of rejoicing that will be
When we all see Jesus
We will sing and shout the victory

Song: How He Loves
Album: Church Music
Artist: David Crowder Band
Lyrics
He is jealous for me
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy
When all of a sudden
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory
And I realise just how beautiful You are
And how great Your affections are for me
(Pre-Chorus)
And O how He loves us
Oh, O how He loves us
How He loves us all
(Chorus)
Yeah He loves us
O how He loves us
O how He loves us
O how He loves
(Verse 2)
We are His portion and He is our prize
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes
If grace is an ocean, we're all sinking
So Heaven meets earth like an unforeseen kiss
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest
I don't have time to maintain these regrets
When I think about the way

You always amaze me
Let Your kingdom come in my world
And in my life
Give me the food I need
To live through today
Forgive me as I forgive
The people that wrong me
Lead me far from temptation
Deliver me from the evil one
I look out the window
The birds are composing
Not a note is out of tune
Or out of place
I walk to the meadow
And stare at the flowers
Better dressed than any girl
On her wedding day
So why should I worry?
Why do I freak out?
God knows what I need
You know what I need!
Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong
The kingdom of the heavens
Is now advancing
Invade my heart
Invade this broken town
The kingdom of the heavens
Is buried treasure
Would you sell yourself
To buy the one you've found
Two things you told me
That you are strong
And you love me
Yes, you love me
Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong
Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong
Our God in Heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Above all names
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven
Give us, today, our daily bread
Forgive us weary sinners
Keep us far from our vices
And deliver us from these prisons

Woship Song: True Love by Phil Wickham
About a love more faithful than the morning
The Father gave His only Son just to save us
The earth was shaking in the dark
All creation felt the Fathers Broken Heart
Tears were filling Heaven's Eyes
The day that True Love died, the day that True Love died
When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn't move came crashing down
We were free and made alive
The day that True Love died, The day that True Love died
Search your heart you know you can't deny it
Come on, lose your life just so you can find it
The Father gave His only Son just to save us
The Earth was shaking in the dark
All creation felt The Fathers broken heart
Tears were filling Heaven's Eyes
The day that True Love died, the day that True Love died
Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com
When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn't move came crashing down
We were free and made alive
The day that True Love died, The day that True Love died
Now, Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
Oh, He is alive
He rose again
When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn't move came crashing down
We were free and made alive
The day that True Love died, The day that True Love died
Come close listen to the story
