Cover The Earth With Your Glory And Free The Nations

"The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and ALL flesh shall see it together..." (Isaiah 40:5)

Let me be an instrument
To exalt and to extend
Jesus' name globally
As the waters cover the sea
Open the heavens O Lord
Pour out Your Spirit
...Cover the earth with your glory

(pause playlist first and choose your desired video/s)


Come bless the Lord
Draw near to worship Christ, the Lord
And bless His name, His holy name
Declaring He is good.

O that men would praise Him
Rejoice in the Lord always
AND AGAIN I SAY, REJOICE!



You said Your glory will fill the earth
Like water the sea.
You said "lift up your eyes",
The harvest is here, the kingdom is near.

...distant shores and the islands will see
Your light as it rises on us.



Who will shout to the corners of the earth
That Christ is King?
We speak to nations, "be open"
We speak to nations, "Fall on your knees"
We speak to nations,
"The kingdom is coming near to you"
Oh ---, we speak to strongholds, "Be broken"
"Powers of darkness, you have to flee"
We speak to nations,
"The kingdom is coming near to you"
We speak to you, "Be free, yeah, be free"

Begin Again

BEGIN AGAIN in 2010!!

Today I will open a new chapter in the book of my life. I will learn something that I did not know before (or didn't know that I knew); I will think a new thought . . . speak a new word . . . sing a new song . . . pray a new prayer. I make the choice today to live in a world full of new beginnings as darkness is replaced by dawn, and winter is replaced by spring. Today is a new beginning for me, and today I will live in the now!
-Jim Earl Swilley, A Year In The Now
 
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord as we move forward.
 
I'm not going back, I'm moving ahead
I'm here to declare to you my past is over
In You, old things are made new
Surrendered my life to Christ , I'm moving, moving forward.
-Israel Houghton and Ricardo Sanchez
 
"Then He who sat on the throne said, ‘Behold, I make all things new.'" (Revelation 21:5)


Let everything that has breath, praise Him!
All ye lands just praise Him
Lift up those hands and praise Him
Bless His holy name...
 



Oh, that the Church would arise
Oh, that we would see with Jesus' eyes
We could show the world heaven
...let the redeemed of the Lord say so...I am redeemed
-Israel Houghton and Michael Gungor


With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of kings
You are my everything
And I will adore you...



Happy are the people whose strength is in You...
As they pass through the Valley of Tears, they make it a source of springwater...
They go from strength to strength; each appears before God in Zion.
(taken from Psalm 84:5-7)

You are my strength, strength like no other...




How happy are those who reside in Your house, who praise You continually.
Psalm 84:4
