Set a Fire

                        

The song "Set A Fire" sung by Jesus Culture (I'm not sure if they are the original artist or not and that's the thing with worship songs, I never really know where they originate from I just find a version I like) is simple but so powerful. The words say "Set a fire down in my soul that I can't contain that I can't control cause I want more of you God." They repeat this over and over and each time I can feel the power resonating from this song. The version I have is live and I can just imagine the crowds of people singing this song and crying out to God. This song is a prayer in my daily life. I want a fire inside me that I can't control, I want God to put that fire in me! I want a fire not only for the things I am passionate about in life but I want a fire for God that can't be controlled. I think we can all say that each day we can use more and more of God. I know I can! 


If you get the chance, download this song...the simple yet powerful words will become your prayer too! I hope it does and I hope this song touches your heart like it does mine.

Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)

                        
wanted to do a short series on a few worship songs that have been touching my life right now and not only touching my life but completely changing my life! These songs, among others, are in a playlist on my phone right now so I can have them wherever I go. Just the other day I was driving and feeling down, I turned this play list on and immediately felt God's presence calming me. I love that about worship music. 


This song is very popular right now and I heard it when it was first coming into popularity. I can see why everyone loves this song...it's by Hillsong United and you can count on them to make some very worshipful songs.


I pretty much love every word of this song. The quote I took for this picture is a good part...we have to remember that we need to call out to God when we feel the oceans in our lives rising. I know it's always a struggle for me to go to God for help because I tend to try and fix things on my own...never good...but when I hear the words of this song I'm reminded that when the oceans rise or the bad times rise up in my life I can rest in the embrace of God because I'm His! 


As a Christian I have hope in God! I love that I can go to Him and He will lift me up and carry me through whatever problems may rise in my life. Whatever you may be going through, whatever hurts or frustrations, whatever losses or even if everything is going great in your life, you have to know that God will carry you through those times. Don't let the ocean waters rise and overtake you...let God embrace you.
