Friends in High Places

by Larnelle Harris

I've got hope when things look bad

And I can smile when I should be sad

I've got friends who lift me up when I'm feeling low

And they watch over me wherever I may go

I've got friends in high places

So high but not so far away

I've got friends in high places

And I'm gonna be with them someday

There's the Father right by His Son

And the angels, each and everyone

And other friends I miss so much and I long to see

But knowing ill be with them one day comforts me

I've got friends in high places

So high but not so far away

I've got friends in high places

And I'm gonna be with them someday

Why should I run

Why should I hide

What's there to fear

When my friends are on my side

I've got friends in high places

So high but not so far away

I've got friends in high places

And I'm gonna be with them someday

I've got friends in high places

So high but not so far away

I've got friends in high places

And I'm gonna be with them

Yes, I'm gonna be with them someday

My Life, My Love, My all

This song by Kirk Franklin ministers to me EVERYTIME I hear it. I surrender my life COMPLETELY to You LORD!

People need the Lord

The original version is by Steve Green. This version by Chonda Pierce and Bonnie Keen.


Everyday they pass me by,
I can see it in their eyes.
Empty people filled with care,
Headed who knows where?
----
On they go through private pain,
Living fear to fear.
Laughter hides their silent cries,
Only Jesus hears.
----
People need the Lord, people need the Lord.
At the end of broken dreams, He's the open door.
People need the Lord, people need the Lord.
When will we realize, people need the Lord?
----
We are called to take His light
To a world where wrong seems right.
What could be too great a cost
For sharing Life with one who's lost?
----
Through His love our hearts can feel
All the grief they bear.
They must hear the Words of Life
Only we can share.
----
People need the Lord, people need the Lord
At the end of broken dreams, He's the open door.
People need the Lord, people need the Lord.
When will we realize that we must give our lives,
For people need the Lord.
----
People need the Lord.

Join Amy and the other ladies who post each Saturday w/ TSMSS over here!

God Bless America!

My family continues to pray for our country and the men and women who are serving in the military fighting for us.
We praise God for allowing us to live in the US as we celebrate the ultimate freedom in Jesus who died for us and the freedoms God allows us to have in this country!

I have always loved this song and wanted to share it with you this weekend.

Meaningless

I have not been able to particpipate in TSMSS in a while so I thought this might be a good weekend to join in. People told me for weeks that I would need a vacation AFTER the vacation and I will admit, I didn't believe them, but boy o boy, this week has really been hard.

-----

Yes, I AM thankful for the week long totally paid for vacation (PRAISE GOD), but I believe the highs of it all left an opportunity to come crashing down if I wasn't careful. Unfortunately, I came crashing down the last few days..... BUT GOD got me right back up again after I prayed and absorbed all that He has done for me and my family. God put things in perspective for me.

-----

Makes you wonder though .. how in the world do people live this life we have without God? There is NO WAY I could have made it through the last few days, 5 years or all of my life for that matter without having the Father to come to, depend on, lean on, cry out to, praise for, thank Him for .. there is NO way.

-----

And yet, I do matter to Him. He has a gazillion things and children to take care of (stated so nicely in a childlike manner), but even in all of that .. He knows who I am, where I am and what I need.

-----

So today, my contribution to TSMSS is from Anthony Evans, not Pastor Evans, but his son ... A song called Meaningless. This life, my life IS meaningless without Jesus.
