O Sacred Head, Now Wounded

How Firm A Foundation

Marie Morrison - Deliver Me

Marie Morrison has written a touching piece to "be a voice for the voiceless, a mouthpiece for those who can't speak for themselves." The title of this song, "Deliver Me" has a poignant double-meaning: it's both a cry from a baby in the womb, and a cry from the mother caught in a difficult dilemma. The conclusion of the song comes directly from Psalm 72:12-14, a word from God to the helpless and weak, and to the church.

This beautiful recording was produced by David Hyde, and sung by Wayne Kerr and Sarah Welch. You can also see the lyrics and chord chart here, or contact Marie for background tracks or performance rights (perhaps for a church service on pro-life Sunday in January) at marie.morr(at)earthlink.net.

Bobby Paver - Abandoned Prison

I met Bobby Paver at a Junior High Camp at which I was speaking during the summer of 2005. He shared with me the words to a song he had recently written which captures his desire to encourage everyone to break free of the of the prison which holds them back from Christ. I think the words are especially meaningful for those in his generation who crave more, but need encouragement to take the step of faith to actually break free.

(Verse 1)
Cold bars are hold'n me back
Cold bones no longer intact
I see dim lights from the west
Where people are free and free to rest

My heart craves beyond the ocean
My heart craves beyond the sea
This is our time to finally break free
And this is our time to get away

(Chorus)
Let's abandon this prison
Get away from this hell
Come set sail to the Ocean
I hear heaven's bells
And we'll live there forever
and forever more
enjoying the freedom
the freedom they tell

(Verse 2)
I am scared
I am a coward
Too afraid to move on
Too afraid to go forward
But this is our time
Please join me brothers
This is our time to unite as one

(Verse 3)
This prison is nasty
Blood runs down to the floor
How I wish to get out
Can't take it anymore
Lord, help me I'm dying
Finally see you at last
Somehow I know that this is my last request

Abandon the prison
Burn the walls to the ground
'Cuz if you burn the old prison
You'll hear heaven's bells

Beauty of Creation - Jerry Boriboun

Here's a heartfelt song from a website visitor from Russellville, Arkansas, Jerry Boriboun, called Beauty of Creation. You can listen to his MP3 version of this song below the lyrics.

Beauty of Creation

Verse:
You are the morning of this world
The flowing river with no end
How does the birds learn to fly?
What gives the sun to shine so bright?
Does the ocean reflect the sky, O God?

Chorus:
All creation cries to You
Let Your name revert these eyes
People bow down all to You
The burning desire is in me

Verse:
You are the sunset of this world
Wonderful light of the night
Why are there so many stars?
Does it reflect the people's heart?
Is there is path that is set for me?

What I can I do to find Your love?
Where can I go to seek Your grace?
How can I see Your face finally?
