If You Could See Me Now

The second post of songs I'm dedicating to Aunt Evelyn: this one is "If you Could See Me Now" by Kim Noblitt.



Our prayers have all been answered. I finally arrived.
The healing that had been delayed has now been realized.
No one's in a hurry. There's no schedule to keep.
We're all enjoying Jesus, just sitting at His feet.

If you could see me now, I'm walking streets of gold.
If you could see me now, I'm standing strong and whole.
If you could see me now, you'd know I've seen His face.
If you could see me now, you'd know the pain is erased.
You wouldn't want me to ever leave this place,
If you could only see me now.

My light and temporary trials have worked out for my good,
To know it brought Him glory when I misunderstood.
Though we've had our sorrows, they can never compare.
What Jesus has in store for us, no language can share.

You wouldn't want me to ever leave this perfect place
If you could only see me now
If you could see me now
If you could only see me now

God is God

Hey sorry for not posting I'm starting again I promise. Anyways this is an announcement that for the next week I'm posting lyrics to songs, dedicated to my great Aunt Evelyn who passed away two days ago. Please offer up a prayer for my family, especially my Aunt Virgie, her sister.

The first one is "God is God", by Steven Curtis Chapman. (btw, you can go to youtube and listen to any of these songs, which I would suggest doing.)



And the pain falls like a curtain
On the things I once called certain
And I have to say the words I fear the most
I just don’t know

And the questions without answers
Come and paralyze the dancer
So I stand here on the stage afraid to move
Afraid to fall, oh, but fall I must
On this truth that my life has been formed from the dust

God is God and I am not
I can only see a part of the picture He’s painting
God is God and I am man
So I’ll never understand it all
For only God is God

And the sky begins to thunder
And I’m filled with awe and wonder
‘Til the only burning question that remains
Is who am I

Can I form a single mountain
Take the stars in hand and count them
Can I even take a breath without God giving it to me
He is first and last before all that has been
Beyond all that will pass



Oh, how great are the riches of His wisdom and knowledge
How unsearchable for to Him and through Him and from Him are all things

So let us worship before the throne
Of the One who is worthy of worship alone

christian music

So I hate to beat a dead horse, but I just now saw two comments made by Janelle and Melinda in the music section that I wanted to respond to...I couldn't commented on the actual music blog but then they probably never would have read it. So basically a for real post is coming Sunday I just thought I'd make this little response

1) Melinda said something about how I need to be "careful" about supporting people who "water down the gospel" because sometimes "it becomes nothing" or something to that degree. I agree I should be careful, Mindy, but in this case I don't think it applies. Switchfoot/Relient K/Hawk Nelson aren't watering down the Gospel that they're presenting because they, for the most part, aren't presenting the Gospel. That's the whole point. They're presenting Christian IDEAS and Christian THEMES but they aren't "presenting the Gospel" in that way. The only way they could be "watering" down what they're saying is by watering down the themes (creationism, anti-postmodernism, repentence, forgiveness, commitment, courage to just to name a few of the themes I can think of.)

2) Janelle, any band that is on a Christian label and writes themes w/, at the very least, moral overtones is considered a Christian band. Everyone from Chevelle (back in the day) to Project 86 to P.O.D. to Relient K to Hawk Nelson to Kutless to dc talk.
