VERSE 1:
I tempered the storm
Though your faith was small
I prayed while you slept
And the night waged war
We stood in the fire
And we walked on sea
And we drank of the wine
That was made of Me

PRE-CHORUS:
Don’t turn your eyes from Me
For My love won’t be undone
Don’t hide your face from Me
For My light has surely come
Surely come surely come

VERSE 2:
I carried that cross
And I felt your pain
I took up your crown
And I wore your shame
And death was a fire
And its teeth were grim
But I left it behind
A‘Long with all your sin

PRE-CHORUS 2:
Don’t turn away from Me
For My love won’t be undone
Don’t hide your face from Me
For My light has surely come
Surely Come surely come

CHORUS:
Lift up your eyes and see
Heaven is closer than you know
Lift up your voice and sing
Know that My love won't let you go
And I won't forsake you

Lift up your eyes and see
Heaven is closer than you know
Know I’ll never leave you
So lift up your voice and sing
Know that My love won't let you go

TAG:
And My light has surely come
Surely come surely come
And I'm closer than you know
And I'm closer than you know

RESPONSE:
Lord I hear You I know You're there
Closer now than my skin and bones could dare
Breathing deep within me
You are always with me
I can see You where eyes can't stare
Brighter now than the sun could ever dare
Breathing all around me
God I know You're with me here
Lord I hear You I know You're there
Closer now than my skin and bones could dare
Breathing deep within me
You are always with me
I can see You where eyes can't stare
Brighter now than the sun could ever dare

Breathing all around me
God I know that You are here
For I’m Yours and You are mine
And my soul knows well
You are here
You are here
And my soul will praise You
And my soul will praise Your Name
Singing holy is Your Name
Jesus
Jesus

During our entire trip, Joel wanted to get this song under an olive tree - like the one in the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus would have prayed for us. We were exhausted, but our team had found the perfect location—the third location of the day. We set up the full record system and went for it. What we got we feel is a little bit special—and hopefully it captures what Jesus may have thought about us in His last moments. The whole experience in Israel was surreal and even the thought of Jesus thinking of us as He lived His last moments is confronting.

If you are reading this, everything’s going to be okay. God has a plan for all of us and he hasn’t forgotten you❤️

I was molested at the age of 7, I never processed it as a teenager, or even as a young man. My walk with the Lord revealed to me that the moment I chose to never speak of, could very well be responsible for the mentality I developed towards sex, women, perversion, and sexual immoral endeavors, like Pornography. I was always worried what it could mean to my family..he was my Grandmother’s husband, my uncles father, and my mom loved him so much, unconditional love, always so grateful when he offered to help us in any way. I was afraid of speaking the truth, but no more. I told my family of this atrocity that had fallen upon me at such a young age. Although it only happened ONCE, the image remained. But there is no pity necessary here today, yesterday, or tomorrow, for I stand here today Redeemed in Christ Jesus, I stand firm in his Glory, I stand tall in the redemption of my past transgressions. The Lord pulled me away from the worst things about myself, and the more I dove into Christ, the more those things began to fall away, by the sanctity of my Salvation.

I’m not perfect, but I’m here to speak over any man woman or child today that stood face to face with that DEMON OF PERVERSION, and you walked out of that room, you walked from his or her grasp, you went on to live in confusion, and doubt. For those of us who were too fearful to trust again, too afraid of being taken advantage of, hiding this moment of your foundation of youth, the youth that was intended to learn the ways of the world to carry it into the prime of your life as an adult. I’m here to tell you today, the Lord shall set you free!! The Lord has the last say in your life!! The Lord will redeem he!! The Lord will redeem she!! The Lord our God will TAKE WHAT WAS MEANT TO BREAK YOU, AND HE’LL USE IT TO BUILD YOU UP IN HIS GRACE!! HE HAS A PURPOSE FOR YOUR PAIN!! HE HAS MEANING FOR YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS!!Lean into his word!! Lean into his grace!! Lean into salvation through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!!

You are reading this NOW!! BY THE GRACE OF GOD!! BECAUSE I AM HERE NOW ONLY BY THE GRACE AND MERCY OF GOD!!

Hallelujah!!! 🕊🕊🕊

Believe he died on the Cross, believe he died for you, believe in the blood that was spilt for you!!

My name is Paul Botello, and I am a survivor of Child Molestation, and it’s only by God’s love and Grace. There is redemption for you, God has it ready to unleash upon your life, and all you need to do is access through your Faith in him.

There are no coincidences with Christ our Lord, if you’re reading this now, think of the chances of you being exactly where you were when you read it, how you felt when you read it, TAKE IT ALL IN and give the Glory to God!!

Thank God you woke up, Thank God for the opportunity to enter this day for his Glory, for his Will!!

Get rid of the things that made you feel worthless, made you feel abused..they say we can’t fight depression, we can’t fight anxiety, we can’t fight the things that run in our family..but I’m here right now to tell you today, that is a lie told by the enemy, cause I STAND HERE redeemed in Christ, unbound by depression, unbound by anxiety, unbound by the things that consume my family lineage CAUSE I AM REDEEMED AND SET FREE BY GOD!!

If you were looking for a sign or the next step...this is it!!

Glory be to God, Hallelujah!!🙏🏽🕊🙏🏽🕊

If you’ve read this far, God bless you, if you have a few minutes, go check out my music video “AK-Psalms47” on my page.
I step foot onto the ground where the enemy tried to take my life from me, my childhood home. Join me as I go back to the place I came face to face with the Devil..”The shed with the Lime Green trim”
Join me, as I take the memories of that land back, and place it at the feet of God.

I almost lost everything recently because of my drug addiction. I overdosed in my car in town and a pedestrian found me, broke out my window and had gave me narcan to bring me back to life. She told me God loved me when I came to. I know the Lord has a plan, I’m just struggling to hang on at times. God is faithful though, and I’m trusting Him.

[TheMusicGospelSongs]

Today I pray for you.. A heart free of sadness, A mind free of worries, A life full of gladness, A body free of illness, & a day full of God's blessings. Amen.💕 Amen.💕

My mother took her life because of depression. But I know that the Lord is merciful and he will never leave my Mama. For his light has surely come.

Dear Loving Father, to whoever reads this message I ask that whatever they are struggling with, the troubles they are going through. I ask that you be with them and lookafter them. I ask you to give them strength to carry on. Amen

After I went to Boston for you guys concert last year,
One day i cry myself to sleep because of brokenness and around midnight while I was sleeping an beautiful Angel appear to me and was singing over me one of the most beautiful song I never heard before, as I’m embracing it and singing along, I heard a voice saying: tell Hillsong that I’m not done with them yet, the enemy is trying to silence them but there is still songs to be born from them that I’m going to use for My Glory to bring millions into My Kingdom… and this song you just heard will be a new song I will put in their hearts to bring out. Tell them to keep on going . IM WITH THEM. Then I realized it was Jesus speaking to me.
Thank you 🙏 Hillsong for the amazing worship from Heaven you guys are singing out to bring souls to the Fathers Kingdom. God’s gracious Hands be always upon you guys.

[ChristianHillsongMusic-qscf]

Dear, lord.
I'm writing this with tears in my heart. It hurts so much having to worry about literally everything. Remember me Lord. Help me. 🙏🙏

[quant]

Les pido de sus oraciones, llevo una semana libre de pornografía, le entregué al señor todos mis pecados y estoy viviendo una vida nueva en Él.. Es difícil y se que es muy poco tiempo hermanos, pero se que en Cristo Jesús hay libertad verdadera, que en este poco tiempo he experimentado su amor verdadero y su misericordia atraves de su espíritu. Si tu estas ahi esclavizado, no importa el pecado, te garantizo que tomar la decisión de confesarlo y tener un arrepentimiento verdadero tu vida va a cambiar! Dios los bendiga y los guarde!

[Grumpy]

I can literally listen to this song 100 times meditating on the Lord.

[rosannatorres]

Remember it wasn't the nails that held Jesus to the cross it was His unconditional love for each and everyone of us
