In planning music for some events and Mass I came across this song. I love it. Thought it would be a good reflection. Read and enjoy.

Lyrics:

1. Behold the wood that bears our name;
behold the nails that hold our sin.
The tree from which salvation blooms;
the death by which we’re born again.

Refrain
We take up our cross and follow him;
we lay down our lives that we might live.
We carry the hope of Christ within;
we take up our cross and follow him.

2. We embrace the sacrifice,
and walk the path we cannot see.
The burdens of this world made light;
by blood and thorn we are redeemed. (to Refrain)

Bridge
Lift him high, lift him high;
let his name be glorified.
Lift him high, lift him high;
let his name be glorified.

Well tonight was definetly fun. John Angotti and his band did a great job with music and we had over 100 people join us at Church of the Nativity in Bartlett, TN. The whole event can be watched here http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/2524631 as it was streamed by one Michael Myers (MemphisCatholic.com).

Bottom line is this…we need to raise our expectations to encounter God every day. He has a plan for our lives, it is a bold plan, a grand plan, one that we can’t even imagine. Our expectations set the ceiling for our experience. It’s like saying, this is my limit. So…in order to seek, understand, fulfill, and live out His plan, we need to raise our expectations to His level. I hope you will join me in expecting nothing less than Heaven everyday. Now that is bold.

God bless

On November 9th I will be speaking at an event at Nativity CC. John Angotti is going to be leading whoever shows up in praise and worship and I’m going to be talking about our expectations of God.

What are your expectations of God? Are they grand enough?

If you live in the area, or are visiting the area, come on out and enjoy a night of worship and reflection with us.

New Song: "I Want"

Bob — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 03:24:17 +0000

So, I’m writing a lot of songs lately, just for fun. I’m trying to write a song a day, sometimes they start in the morning and brew all day, other times I end up writing something stupid just so I can say I did it. Every once and a while something comes out that I actually like.

I WANT

VERSES:
