Everyday - Joel Houston

Howdy!!

Ever ask yourself this qn: What do I live for everyday?? As a young parent, I'll rush home everyday to see my son, Shalom, and my wife, Grace. They bring great joy to my life. Do I then live everyday for my family? Mmm ... that's a noble purpose but I believe still fall short of the ultimate purpose of my life.

"And he [Jesus] died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again." 2 Corinthians 5:15

I must be living for Jesus for I (my old self) no longer live but Christ who lives in me. In so doing, I will be able to enjoy my family knowing that my life is centered in Him and not my own.

So ... what do you live for Everyday?

Here is a song titled "Everyday" by Joel Houston. Meaningful lyrics.

Lyrics:
What to say Lord? it's You who gave me life and I
Can't explain just how much You mean to me now
That You have saved me Lord, I give all that I am to You
That everyday I can be a light that shines Your name

Everyday Lord, I'll learn to stand upon Your Word
And I pray that I, that I might come to know You more
That You would guide me in every single step I take
That everyday I can be a light unto the world

Everyday, it's You I live for
Everyday, I'll follow after You
Everyday, I'll walk with You my Lord

It's You I live for, everyday
It's You I live for, everyday
It's You I live for, everyday

It's performed by Delirious and Hillsong. Read through the lyrics before you get too carried away with the "performance". Musicians + Vocalists, check out the dynamics. For those who have never been to a Hillsong Concert ... check out the audience.

Chris Tomlin/Steven Curtis Chapman - We fall down

Hiya!!

Here is a song composed by Chris Tomlin (the guy who wrote "How Great is our God"), arranged by Steven Curtis Chapman. The song is "We fall down". We've sang this song in church a couple of times. It speaks of our postures when we come face to face with the King of kings.

This is a 2-guitar arrangement. Observe how each guitarist finds a "slot" to play, as compared to both playing in the same position. Song is in key of "F#". Chris is capoed on the 4th fret, playing Chord Family of D, while Steven is capoed on 2nd Fret, playing Chord Family E. Observe how the notes float over one another in harmony.

We fall down
We lay our crowns
At the feet of Jesus
The greatness ofYour Mercy and love
At the feet of Jesus
And we cry holy, holy, holy
And we cry holy, holy, holy
And we cry holy, holy, holy
Is the lamb

Hillsong United - All I need is You

hi Guyz,

Remember this song we sang during the last youth retreat '06. Cried the first time I heard it. It's a reminder of God's sufficiency in all parts of my life (Family, Career, Ministry etc etc). Song is in key "E" ... gets really high @ the bridge.

So what's Psalm333.blogspot all about?

Hi !

I've set up Psalm333 for the purpose of reviewing Christian Music (past & present). Ranging from Contemporary or Modern Worship Songs, to ageless Hymns. I hope to share some of my thoughts and findings on some contemporary Christian Music artistes and also to raise flags on songs/artistes with dubious (or dodgy) content/intent.

Also .. *this will interest musicians* I'll be posting clips of music videos (live clips or instructional videos) as shared on YouTube. So ... have fun worshipping the Lord. And remember ... @ the end of the day ... we have an audience of One (& that's not our pride!), our Lord.

All glory due Him!!
