The Beauty of Simplicity

The Beauty of Simplicity
Telecast

It’s the beauty of simplicity
that brings me down to my knees
I’ll praise You for eternity
and Lord I love You
Because You
You first loved me

It’s the beauty of simplicity
that fills me with eternity
I’ve tasted your divinity
and Lord I love You
Because You
You first loved me 

And all God’s people say
We, we love You
we love You Lord
We love You
and we, we love You
we love You Lord
We love You
We love You

It’s the beauty of simplicity
that brings me down to my knees
I’ll praise You for eternity
and Lord I love You
Because You
You first loved

You gave Yourself away
just that I could stay
You took my place in death
and rose that I could say
That You are Holy
and You alone deserve my praise

And all God’s people say
We, we love You
we love You Lord
We love You

Awaken: October 14th

We had a great night at Awaken last night!  We continued our series titled, “The Songs We Sing”.  Mel Strom has been leading us through this series.  We began our worship with several songs.  After singing together we talked about the songs we sing.  The song last night was “The Beauty of Simplicity”, by Telecast.  This song was written by a pastor who was pastoring a worship service of 18 to 30 year olds, very similar to us.  Mel talked about the meaning of what we sing when we sing of the beauty of simplicity.  We talked about how it is a song that is sung together as a community.  In the song it says, “And all God’s people say… We love You.”  Mel talked about the song’s connection with 1 John.  In 1 John 4:19  it says, “We love because he first loved us.”  Lines in the song straight from the bible.  It is great to get together and connect the songs we sing and understand a little better why we sing the songs we sing.  After a little bit of talking we had a time of prayer and then we closed with one final song.  It was great to see the college group from First United Methodist Church of Mansfield out to join us for worship last night.  Come back anytime!  Come and join us next week as we continue our series on “the Songs we Sing”.  Bring a friend or two with you and we will see you soon!

Everything Glorious

Everything Glorious
David Crowder Band

The day is brighter here with you
The night is lighter than its hue
Would lead me to believe
Which leads me to believe

You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious 
You make everything glorious 
and I am Yours
What does that make me?

My eyes are small but they have seen
the beauty of enormous things
Which leads me to believe
there’s light enough to see that

You make everything glorious 
You make everything glorious 
You make everything glorious 
and I am Yours

From glory to glory
You are glorious You are glorious
From glory to glory
You are glorious You are glorious
Which leads me to believe
why I can believe that

You make everything glorious 
You make everything glorious 
You make everything glorious 
and I am Yours
You make everything glorious 
You make everything glorious 
You make everything glorious 
and I am Yours

From glory to glory From glory to glory
You are glorious. You are glorious.
You are glorious. You are glorious.

Awaken: October 6th

A great night of worship.  We began our worship with several songs.  Then we began our series, The Songs We Sing.  Mel Strom is the speaker for this series.  Mel talked to us about the David Crowder Band song, “Everything Glorious”.  We talked about how God makes everything glorious, we talked about how we are made by God, and that what does that make us? (glorious!)  We talked about how when we sing the song we are making a proclamation in our singing that God is glorious.  From glory to glory, You are glorious.  After the message we had a time of prayer in during which Patrick played the song “Everything Glorious”.  We then closed with one last song together.  It was a great kick off to an exciting series.
