Casting Crowns - Until The Whole World Hears

One of my most favorite Christian bands will be playing, locally, tomorrow night. Hoping to be able to go! Wanted to share one of their MANY COOL songs! The lead singer is also a Youth Pastor!

Hope you enjoy!

Lyrics:

Lord, I want to feel your heart
And see the world through your eyes
I want to be your hands and feet
I want to live a life that leads

Ready yourselves, ready yourselves
Let us shine the light of Jesus in the darkest night
Ready yourselves, ready yourselves
May the powers of darkness tremble as our praises rise

Until the whole world hears, Lord, we are calling out
Lifting up your name for all to hear the sound
Like voices in the wilderness, we're crying out
And as the day draws near
We'll sing until the whole world hears

Lord, let your sleeping giant rise
Catch the demons by surprise
Holy nation sanctified
Let this be our battle cry

Ready yourselves, ready yourselves
Let us shine the light of Jesus in the darkest night
Ready yourselves, ready yourselves
May the powers of darkness tremble as our praises rise

Until the whole world hears, Lord, we are calling out
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/c/casting-crowns-lyrics/until-the-whole-world-hears-lyrics.html]
Lifting up your name for all to hear the sound
Like voices in the wilderness, we're crying out
And as the day draws near
We'll sing until the whole world hears

We'll sing until the whole world hears
We'll sing until the whole world hears

I want to be your hands and feet
I want live a life that leads
To see you set the captive free
Until the whole world hears

And I pray that they will see
More of you and less of me
Lord, I want my life to be
The song You sing

Until the whole world hears, Lord, we are calling out
Lifting your name up for all to hear the sound
Like voices in the wilderness, we're crying out
And as the day draws near
We'll sing until the whole world hears

We'll sing until the whole world hears
We'll sing until the whole world hears
We'll sing until the whole world hears
We'll sing until the whole world hears
We'll sing until the whole world hears

Nelly Furtado - Say It Right

Here's a Canuck you might enjoy, Ray. :-) (Funny that she chose an LA skyline as a backdrop! I wonder if she lives down there, now.) I would absolutely LOVE to have a helicopter, myself! LOVE the vid! :-D

Love the beat of this song. Hope you enjoy as well! :-)

Lyrics:

In the day
In the night
Say it right
Say it all
You either got it
Or you don't
You either stand or you fall
When your will is broken
When it slips from your hand
When there's no time for joking
There's a hole in the plan

Oh you don't mean nothing at all to me
No you don't mean nothing at all to me
But you got what it takes to set me free
Oh you could mean everything to me

I can't say that I'm not lost and at fault
I can't say that I don't love the light and the dark
I can't say that I don't know that I am alive
And all of what I feel I could show
You tonight you tonight

Oh you don't mean nothing at all to me
No you don't mean nothing at all to me
But you got what it takes to set me free
Oh you could mean everything to me

From my hands I could give you
Something that I made
From my mouth I could sing you another brick that I laid
From my body I could show you a place God knows
You should know the space is holy
Do you really want to go?

She's just so much more "growed up" since this song and vid, 11 years ago:

The Eagles Dirty Laundry

Arguably the BEST band in HISTORY; (yes...probably tied w/Pink Floyd, Ray! lol! :-D I LOVE this band!!!!! I gave myself the BEST birthday gift that I had ever gotten, by taking myself and a friend of mine out to see Eagles for my 40th birthday...already 8 years ago, now! (My how time flies!) I paid $150/seat and I have NEVER regretted it! What I saw, that night, were some old rockers who STILL had it after 40(!!) YEARS!!! How many bands can boast that kind of a record?! Not many!! Guaranteed!

I, immediately, loved them from the first time I heard 'Their Greatest Hits' album! I was HOOKED!

And...then, came their newer stuff...like this song. I LOVE their lyrics; always so poignant and true! Anything that Don Henley touches turns to gold; how I LOVE that man! If you've never heard much of the Eagles, give 'em a listen; you won't be disappointed!

Hope you enjoy!

Lyrics:

I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry

Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I dont have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry

Kick em when they're up
Kick em when they're down
Kick em when they're up
Kick em when they're down
Kick em when they're up
Kick em when they're down
Kick em when they're up
Kick em all around

We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who
Comes on at five
She can tell you bout the plane crash with a gleam
In her eye
Its interesting when people die-
Give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a
Running bet
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry

You don't really need to find out whats going on
You don't really want to know just how far its gone
Just leave well enough alone
Eat your dirty laundry

Kick em when they're up
Kick em when they're down
Kick em when they're up
Kick em when they're down

Kick em when they're up
Kick em when they're down
Kick em when they're stiff
Kick em all around

Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry

We can do the innuendo
We can dance and sing
When its said and done we haven't told you a thing
We all know that crap is king
Give us dirty laundry!

I Shall Believe - Matt Brouwer

I really enjoy this song; hope you will, as well! Kind of a real peaceful gentleness about it. Have a blessed day! :-D

Lyrics:

Come to me now
And lay Your hands over me
Will You find me tonight
Say it will be alright
And I will believe

Broken in two
I know You're on to me
That I only come home
When I'm so all alone
But I do believe

That not everything I gonna be
The way you think it ought to be
It seems like everytime I try and make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly You won't give up on me
And I shall believe

Open the door
And show me Your face tonight
I know it's true
No one heals me like You
And You hold the key

Never again will I turn away from You
I'm so heavy tonight
But Your love is alright
And I do believe

Taylor Dayne - Unstoppable

The funny places I end up, some nights! After checking out 'The Help' movie's trailer, I got "turned on" to Taylor Dayne's songs and...I had never heard this one. It's full of "good old" FUNK which is quite fun and...well...I'm sure the gents will enjoy the bathtub bits! ;-)

Hope you enjoy this fun song! LOVE Taylor's voice! :-)

Lyrics:

Sweet love buttercup
I wanna drink you up
Slowly from a fountain
Springtime, summer rain
like a hurricane
That’s blowin’
all around me
Everything you do
makes me feel so good
Everything you say
takes me far away
Everybody needs somebody to squeeze
I just wanna be that somebody you need

Chorus

You put me on the top
turn me all around
Shakin’ me all up
you’re takin’ me down
It’s unstoppable
my love for you
Just put me in your heart
don’t put me on a shelf
I’ll give you all I’ve got
to you and no one else
It’s unstoppable
my love for you

Everywhere you go
all of the ladies know
What you have to offer
You’re the kind of guy
who makes ’em feel alright
And I know why they’re talkin’
Cause nobody can do
exactly what you do
Nobody comes near
what you give to me
Baby open up
all of you I want
All of you I need
to reach that ecstacy

Chorus

Ahhhhhh ahhhhhh

Chorus

The Help Movie Trailer Official (HD)

I'm going to see this movie, tonight. It looks wonderful! I LOVE stories like this; people coming together for GOOD! :-)

So...I saw a couple of songs that were featured in this movie that sounded SO GOOD so...I'll feature those, below:

the first, here, is Mary J. Blige's song called 'The Living Proof.' It's really lovely; she wrote it, specifically, for this movie:



Lyrics:

It's gonna be a long long journey
It's gonna be an uphill climb
It's gonna be a tough fight
There's gonna be some lonely nights
But I'm ready to carry on
I’m so glad the worst is over (cos it almost took me out)
I can start living now ooh ooh
I feel like I can do anything
And finally I'm not afraid to breathe

[CHORUS]
Anything you say to me
And everything you do
You can’t deny the truth
Cos I’m the living proof
So many don’t survive
They just don’t make it through
But look at me oh ho
I’m the living proof - oh yes I am

Thinking 'bout how life's been painful
Took a while to learn how to smile
So now I’m gonna talk to my people oh oh
About the storm [2x] wo ooh
So glad the worst is over
I can start flying now oh ho
My best days are right in front of me
Yet I’m almost there
Cos now I’m free oh

[CHORUS]
Anything you say to me
And everything you do
You can’t deny the truth
Cos I’m the living proof
So many don’t survive
They just don’t make it through
But look at me, I’m the living proof

[BRIDGE]
I know where I’m going
Cos I know where I’ve been oh oh
I kind of feel strong as
I’m gonna stay strong keep going
That’s the way that I’ll win

[CHORUS]
Anything you say to me
And everything you do (everything you do)
You can’t deny the truth
Cos I'm the living proof
So many don’t survive
They just don’t make it through
But look at me, I’m the living proof

Nothing ‘bout my life’s been easy
But nothing’s gonna keep me down no
Cos I know a lot more today
And I know yesterday
So I’m ready to carry on

And...someone I grew up listening to but didn't much pay attention to who she was (as in...knew the tune, a bit, but didn't know the artist. You know how kids are! lol!) is Taylor Dayne and I just LOVE this song that she sings in this movie: it's called 'Change the World.' I LOVE the message of the song (even though I can't find hide nor hair of the lyrics, anywhere! Prob too new!) and it's just a real "feel GOOD" kind of song so...



Hope you enjoy these two beautiful songs until I come back w/my "take" on this movie! Both women have such STRONG voices! LOVE that!

Boogie Shoes

This song didn't have a ton of lyrics to it but...the beat was great! :-D KC looked like he was quite the cutey, as well! :0)

Hope it makes ya wanna get out your boogie shoes! :-)
