Make My Blog Your Playlist!

Need some uplifting music while you're about your daily tasks?  Here's an idea: play my complete list of My Favorite Songs!

1.  Find "Categories" on the side bar and click on "My Favorite Songs."

2.  From there, click on the first song listed (which is, as of today, "A Place Called Hope").  Don't click on the title of the post, but the song name that has the play button beside it.  That will expand the Media Player.

3.  Now that A Place Called Hope is playing, click the part of the player that says "Playlist" and you'll see a whole bunch of songs!  Ta-da!  Now you can enjoy all of my personal favorites while you organize and clean.

A Place Called Hope

I love this song! It's the beautiful story of the prodigal in all of us experiencing God's amazing love and forgiveness.  God wants to restore fellowship with you, no matter how far you've wandered.  There is A Place Called Hope!

I Have Been Blessed

This simple song gets better and better with each verse.  My favorite is verse 6, but don't cheat... you have to read the first 5 verses first! =)  As we celebrate Thanksgiving, don't forget to slow down and consider how richly you have been blessed.


Verse 1:
When He moves among us all that He does
all of His mercy and all of His love
and the pen of the writer could write everyday
even this world could never contain
how I've been blessed

Verse 2:
The warmth in winter the flowers in spring
the laughter in summer and the changing of leaves
the food on my table a good place to sleep
clothes on my back and shoes on my feet
I have been blessed

Chorus:
I have been blessed God's so good to me
precious are His thoughts of you and me
no way I could count them there's not enough time
so I'll just thank Him for being so kind
God has been good so good
I have been blessed

Verse 3:
Arms that will raise a voice that can talk
hands that can touch and legs that can walk
ears that can listen eyes that can see
oh I've got to praise Him as long as I breathe
I have been blessed

Verse 4:
A father and mother who nurtured and raised
a brother and sister memories made
our pastor to lead us the altar to pray
stripes that can heal the blood that can save
I have been blessed

Chorus:
I have been blessed God's so good to me
precious are His thoughts of you and me
no way I could count them there's not enough time
so I'll just thank Him for being so kind
God has been good so good
I have been blessed

Verse 5:
We live in a country the greatest on earth
our flag stands for freedom and what it is worth
she stands in the harbor Miss Liberty calls
all have gave some but some have gave all
for me to be blessed

Verse 6:
He's my shoulder to lean on when I am down
the rock where He leads me when I'm overwhelmed
the place where He hides me under His wings
He's not just a song He's the reason I sing
I have been blessed

Chorus:
I have been blessed God's so good to me
precious are His thoughts of you and me
no way I could count them there's not enough time
so I'll just thank Him for being so kind
God has been good so good
I have been blessed
