Beautiful Music

The other day, my son sent me a link to a musician's video.  He said he caught the name out of the corner of his eye and it looked so much like mine...and he liked the music, too.  So do I...and I decided to share it with you today.  I hope you enjoy it too.

His name is Tim Janis [mine is Jan Tanis]. 

I am featuring his newest music video, just released this morning, on my sidebar.  

Here is his YouTube page.  You will find all of his works there.

One of My Favorite Songs

A Short commercial precedes the beginning of the Video.

How He Loves Us

This Song, How He Loves Us was part of our Church Service lastnight...and it's wonderful.   Kim-Walker-Smith is the one singing this on the YouTube Video at the end of this post.  Here are the Lyrics...

He is jealous for me

Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree...

Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy

And all of a sudden,

I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory

And I realize just how beautiful You are,

And how great Your affections are for me

Oh, how He loves us, oh

Oh how He loves us

How He loves us all

He is jealous for me

Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree

Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy

And all of a sudden

I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory

And I realize just how beautiful You are

And how great Your affections are for me

Oh how He loves us, oh

Oh how He loves us

How He loves us all

Yeah, He loves us

Oh how He loves

Oh how He loves

We are His portion and He is our prize

Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes

If His grace is an ocean, we're all sinking

Heaven meets earth like an unforeseen kiss

And my heart turns violently inside of my chest

I don't have time to maintain these regrets

When I think about, the way...

That He loves us

Oh how He loves us

Oh how He loves us

Oh how He loves

Yeah, He loves us

Oh how He loves us

Oh how He loves us

Oh how He loves

Yeah He loves us

Oh how He loves us

Oh how He loves us
Oh how He loves

"WORN"

by Tenth Avenue North

I’m Tired I’m worn

My heart is heavy

From the work it takes

To keep on breathing

I’ve made mistakes

I’ve let my hope fail

My soul feels crushed

By the weight of this world

And I know that you can give me rest

So I cry out with all that I have left

Let me see redemption win

Let me know the struggle ends

That you can mend a heart

That’s frail and torn

I wanna know a song can rise

From the ashes of a broken life

And all that’s dead inside can be reborn

Cause I’m worn

I know I need to lift my eyes up

But I'm too weak

Life just won’t let up

And I know that you can give me rest

So I cry out with all that I have left

Let me see redemption win

Let me know the struggle ends

That you can mend a heart

That’s frail and torn

I wanna know a song can rise

From the ashes of a broken life

And all that’s dead inside can be reborn

Cause I’m worn

My prayers are wearing thin

Yeah, I’m worn

Even before the day begins

Yeah, I’m worn

I’ve lost my will to fight

I’m worn

So, heaven come and flood my eyes

Let me see redemption win

Let me know the struggle ends

That you can mend a heart

That’s frail and torn

I wanna know a song can rise

From the ashes of a broken life

And all that’s dead inside can be reborn

Cause all that’s dead inside will be reborn

Though I’m worn

Yeah I’m worn

My New Favorite Song...

While I was driving in my car yesterday, I heard this amazing song!  It reminded me again, that no matter what you or I are going through, that God is always with us.  After all that has transpired in the past 5 weeks, He has been reminding me over and over again that all I have to do is reach out to...
Him and give Him my problems and He is able to do great things with them...and that even though I have felt broken, He loves me and can use me.  I have had many prayers answered!  Thanks to all of you that have been praying for me, you are precious friends.

I have found a church...and I'm loving it.  Whether a Bible Study or a Church Service - or singing Worship Songs...they have all been a true blessing to me.

Here's the song I heard yesterday...It's called...I'm Not Alone and it's sung by Kari Jobe.  Here are the Lyrics and the YouTube Video.

"I Am Not Alone"

When I walk through deep waters
I know that You will be with me
When I'm standing in the fire
I will not be overcome
Through the valley of the shadow
I will not fear

I am not alone
I am not alone
You will go before me
You will never leave me

In the midst of deep sorrow
I see Your light is breaking through
The dark of night will not overtake me
I am pressing into You
Lord, You fight my every battle
And I will not fear

You amaze me
Redeem me
You call me as Your own

You're my strength
You're my defender
You're my refuge in the storm
Through these trials
You've always been faithful
You bring healing to my soul

Alabaster Box

ALABASTER BOX
The room grew still
As she made her way to Jesus
She stumbles through the tears that made her blind
She felt such pain
Some spoke in anger
Heard folks whisper
There's no place here for her kind
Still on she came
Through the shame that flushed her face
Until at last, she knelt before his feet
And though she spoke no words
Everything she said was heard
As she poured her love for the Master
From her box of alabaster


[Refrain]

And I've come to pour
My praise on Him
Like oil from Mary's alabaster box
Don't be angry if I wash his feet with my tears
And I dry them with my hair
You weren't there the night He found me
You did not feel what I felt
When he wrapped his love all around me and
You don't know the cost of the oil
In my alabaster box

I can't forget the way life used to be
I was a prisoner to the sin that had me bound
And I spent my days 
Poured my life without measure
Into a little treasure box
I'd thought I'd found
Until the day when Jesus came to me
And healed my soul
With the wonder of His touch
So now I'm giving back to Him
All the praise He's worthy of
I've been forgiven 
And that's why
I love Him so much

[Refrain]

And I've come to pour
My praise on Him
Like oil from Mary's alabaster box
Don't be angry if I wash his feet with my tears
And dry them with my hair (my hair)
You weren't there the night Jesus found me
You did not feel what I felt 
When He wrapped his loving arms around me and
You don't know the cost of the oil
Oh, you don't know the cost of my praise
You don't know the cost of the oil
In my alabaster box

End of the Beginning

[Lyrics below]...


(Intro Music)
I was takin a trip on a plane the other day
Just wishing that I could get out.
When the man next to me saw the book in my hand
And asked me what it was about.
So I settled back in my seat-
"A best seller," I said.
"A history, a mystery in one."
And then I opened up the book and began to read 
From Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
Chorus:
He was born of a virgin one holy night
In the little town of Bethlehem.
Angels gathered round him underneath the stars
Singing praises to the great I Am.


He walked on the water, healed the lame and made the blind to see again.
And for the first time here on earth we learned that God could be a friend.
And though he never ever did a single thing wrong
The angry crowd chose him. And then he walked down the road
And died on the cross and that was the end of the beginning.
"that's not a new book that's a bible," he said, "and I've heard it all before.
I've tried religion- it's shame and guilt and I don't need it anymore.
It's superstition, made up tales and just to help the weak to survive."
"Let me read it again," I said, "listen closely, cuz this is gonna change your life.
(Chorus)
"The end of the beginning," he said with a smile.
"What more could there be? He's dead.
You said they hung him, put nails in His hands
And a crown of thorns on His head."
I said, "I'll read it again but this time there's more,
And I believe that this is true.
His death wasn't the end, the beginning of life
That's completed in you.
Don't you see he did all this for you!"
(Chorus)
He was born of a virgin one holy night 
In the little town of Bethlehem
All the angles singing praises to the great I AM
He walked on the water, healed the lame, 
And made the blind to see(eee)
(and for the first time here on earth)
Did you know that God could be a friend.
Tho He never ever did a single thing wrong,
He was the one the crowd chose.
Then he walked and he died but 
Three days later (3x) HE ROSE!!!!!!!!
Three days later he rose!
You see he came, he lived, and he died.
But that was the end of the beginning.

Be still, there is a healer 

His love is deeper than the seaHis mercy, it is unfailing His arms are fortress for the weak Let faith arise Let faith arise  I lift my hands to believe again You are my refuge, You are my strength As I pour out my heart These things, I remember You are faithful, God, forever Be still, there is a river That flows from Calvary's tree A fountain for the thirsty Pure grace that washes over me  Let faith arise Let faith arise I lift my hands to believe again You are my refuge, You are my strength As I pour out my heart These things, I remember You are faithful, God, forever  I lift my hands to believe againYou are my refuge, You are my strength As I pour out my heart These things, I remember You are faithful, God, forever  Let faith arise, let faith arise Open my eyes, open my eyes Let faith arise, let faith arise Open my eyes, open my eyes  I lift my hands to believe again You are my refuge, You are my strength As I pour out my heart These things, I remember You are faithful, God, forever  And I lift my hands to believe again You are my refuge, You are my strength As I pour out my heart These things, I remember You are faithful, God You are faithful, God, forever  Let faith arise Let faith arise

   by Ana Laura - ASL by ASigningHand Lyrics follow...The secret of life is letting go
The secret of love is letting it show
In all that i do
In all that i say
Right here in this moment

The power of prayer is in a humble cry
The power of change is in giving my life
I’m laying it down
Down at your feet
Right here in this moment

Chorus:
Take my heart
Take my soul
I surrender everything to your control
And let all this is within me lift up to you and say
I am yours and yours alone
Completely

The journey of life is a search for truth
This journey of faith is following you
Every step of the way
Through the joy and the pain
Right here in this moment

Right here, right now, and for the rest of my life
Hear me say

I am yours and yours alone
Completely
