Verse 1.You're the God of this city
You're the King of these people
You're the Lord of this nation
You Are

You're the hope to the hopeless
You're the peace to the restless

For there is no one like our God
There is no one like You God

For greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done

You're the Lord of Creation
The Creator of all things
You're the King above all kings

For greater things have yet to come
Greater things are still to be done
In this city
When glory shines from hearts alive
With praise for You and love for You

Greater things have yet to come
Greater things are still to be done
In this city
Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done here

PSALM SATURDAY

For today, I have chosen several Psalms that go together for me, as a prayer for myself, to God to help me radiate His joy and love to others and to fulfill His purpose for me. So, I am going to list the references, and then put all of the verses together so that it will flow. They are still in the same order that they are in the Bible.

Psalms (NIV)

16:11; 19:8, 14; 40:8;51:10; 57:2

Dear Lord,

You have made known to me the path of life; You will will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving llight to the eyes.

May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. I desire to do your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart. Create in me a pure heart. O God and renew a steadfast spirit within me. I cry out to God, Most High, to God, who fulfills His purpose for me.

I had already chosen the above when I read Deb's Psalm for today at http://onesingleminute.blogspot.com/, who is also joining Collete at http://jesuslovesmums.blogspot.com/ for Psalm Saturday.

Deb has written her Psalms as a a prayer for us, her blogging friends, so be sure to go over and read it.

Collette has chosen some beautiful Psalms about God's creation!

Join us in sharing Psalms that speak to you today.

MONDAY'S MAMA MOMENTS

This week's "Monday's Mama Moments" are reflections on
"What a difference a year makes", no matter how old they are!

This time last year. . .

our oldest son was just beginning his first year of teaching and coaching,

our daughter was just beginning college, and

our youngest son, who had always been a very happy person, was very unhappy
about moving to a new, (big to him) high school.

This year,

Josh is continuing at the same school district, but is teaching at the middle school, instead of the intermediate, and he has passed more teaching tests and the bus driver test,

Kalyn absolutely loved the college she chose, and will now be a Tri-W:
Welcome Week Worker, to welcome her cousin and other freshmen, and she is very involved in other ways, too, and

Jase is very active in our church youth group, student council, football, basketball and baseball and likes the school very much.

I know I'm a day late, but would still like to hear your "Mama Moments" for this week.

SUNDAY SONG



FREE TO BE ME

Artist: Francesca Battistelli

At twenty years of age (forty six, and the song still fits!)

I'm still looking for a dream

A war's already waged for my destiny

But You've already won the battle

And You've got great plans for me

Though I can’t always see

(Chorus)‘Cause I got a couple dents in my fender

Got a couple rips in my jeans

Try to fit the pieces together

But perfection is my enemy

On my own I'm so clumsy

But on Your shoulders

I can see

I'm free to be me

When I was just a girl I thought I had it figured out

My life would turn out right, and I'd make it here somehow

But things don't always come that easy

And sometimes I would doubt

(Chorus)

And you’re free to be you

Sometimes I believe that I can do anything

Yet other times I think I've got nothing good to bring

But You look at my heart and You tell me That I've got all You seek

And it’s easy to believeEven though

(Chorus)
