I Could Run Away

I could run away
But You would never leave
You would always stay
Right by my side

Everything I've ever wanted
I've found in You

And I need you, Oh I need you
Every step of the way

“Why is it some Christians, though they hear many sermons, make such slow progress in devotion? Because they neglect their closets, to meditate.” C.H. Spurgeon

Stole this from someone.

Disturb us, Lord, when

We are too pleased with ourselves,

When our dreams have come true

Because we dreamed too little,

When we arrived safely

Because we sailed too close to the shore.

Disturb us, Lord, when

with the abundance of things we possess

We have lost our thirst

For the waters of life;

Having fallen in love with life,

We have ceased to dream of eternity

And in our efforts to build a new earth,

We have allowed our vision

Of the new Heaven to dim.

Disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly,

To venture on wilder seas

Where storms will show Your mastery;

Where losing sight of land,

We shall find the stars.

We ask you to push back

The horizons of our hopes;

And to push us into the future

In strength, courage, hope, and love.

This we ask in the name of our Captain,

Who is Jesus Christ.

-Sir Francis Drake, 1557

With One Word by Shane and Shane

With One word the storm will be gone
With One word the war will be won
With One word I know I can overcome
With One word the blind man can see
With One word the captive is free
With one word: the name of Jesus

Your name is sweeter than honey on my lips
Your name is power in every circumstance
Jesus, in Your name we’ll make mountains disappear
When we’re conquerors of fear, one word:

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
With One word my soul is relieved
With One word the devil will flee
With One word my hurricane winds will cease
Through One word the world came to be
Through One word the world is redeemed
Through One word: the name of Jesus
