Just Me...

I apologize to those of you who are giving me a try and I haven't posted in a couple of weeks. This blogging thing is fun, but so is experiencing life in Christ's hands. On July 6th a friend and music teammate and myself will be singing Chris Tomlin's Amazing Grace, but I am going to spend the next several entries going over the different verses of the original Amazing Grace... The First Verse Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That sav’d a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind, but now I see. As I read through these words I am reminded of the parables of the lost sheep, lost coin and lost son found in the Gospel of Luke Chapter 15 . 1. In what ways do you feel "lost"? 2. Think of the shepherd, the woman and the father, when we are lost, God looks for us just as hard as these examples...he pains for us and will do anything to get us back into his Kingdom. Have you ever lost something/someone? 3. As Christians, we talk about "loving...

This week, based on a suggestion, I have chosen In Better Hands by Natalie Grant (listen on her My Space page here .) Natalie Grant - In Better Hands From the album Relentless It’s hard to stand On shifting sand It’s hard to shine In the shadows of the night You can’t be free If you don’t reach for help And you can’t love If you don’t love yourself But there is hope when my faith runs out… Casuse I’m in better hands now Chorus: It’s like the sun is shining When the rain is pouring down It’s like my soul is flying Though my feet are on the ground So take this heart of mine There’s no doubt I’m in better hands now I am strong All because of you I stand in awe of Every mountain that you move I am changed Yesterday is gone I am safe From this moment on… And there’s no fear when the night comes around I’m in better hands now Chorus It’s like the sun is shining When the rain is pouring down It’s like my soul is flying Though my feet are on the ground It’s like the world is silent Though I kn...

For the first song of this blog, I have chosen I Belong by Kathryn Scott (listen on her My Space page here . Lyrics for "I Belong" I BELONG© Mildred Rainey & Kathryn Scott Not angels, nor demons, no power on earth or heaven Not distance, nor danger, no trouble now or ever Nothing can take me from your great love Forever this truth remains I belong, I belong to you Not hardship, nor hunger, no pain or depth of sorrow Not weakness, nor failure, no broken dream or promise See what Kathryn has to say about writing this song here . Relevant Bible Verses: John 14:6 - (NIV) - Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Romans 8:34-35 - (NIV) - Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword...

Greetings from your Sister in Christ. I have started this blog to serve as a central meeting place for a study of Christian music. Songs can be contemporary, traditional, gospel, even mainline as long as there is an element of the worship of our Savior, Jesus Christ. For the inital format, I'll post a link where you can listen to the song along with the lyrics. I'll also post a couple of bible references and some questions to get us thinking about the song. Songs will be posted weekly on Sunday evenings. I welcome anyone to comment on the current or any previous post as long as your comments are in the positive light of Jesus Christ. Any comment that I deem inappropriate will be deleted. Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope that you find that the topics discussed here will help strengthen your faith in Jesus. Please feel free to send this link ( www.ashlimoore.blogspot.com ) to anyone you would like to share this study with. Also, if anyone has suggestions for a song...
