An Uplifting Song A Day

Welcome to Episode 19 of a Song a Day (Keeps Coronavirus Away) - Episode #3 Revisited.

In this take, we raise the following question:

How many times do we really listen to a song? Yes, I know, we hear the music/tune, but what about the lyrics?

Well, since most of us have more time on our hands than usual, why don't we practice listening a little closer? Say about 5 - 9 minutes a day?

BEWARE: There may be some good feelings, a sense of encouragement or maybe even peace when you're through.

Segments:
-Intro
-Extraneous Factoid
-Song of the Day
-Lyrics of the Day
-Exposition of the Day 
-Outro

Yes! All of that in less than ten minutes! To those who like me have the attention span of a gnat...You're welcome! 

Let's do this!

Note: Episodes like this, minus the singing can be heard regularly on my sister podcast An Uplifting Song Each week: https://anchor.fm/diane-stafford

Day 18 of A Song a Day (Keeps Coronavirus away)

Happy Easter - He Lives!

I serve a risen Saviour, He's in the world today
I know that He is living, whatever men may say
I see His hand of mercy, I hear His voice of cheer
And just the time I need Him He's always near

He lives (He lives), He lives (He lives), Christ Jesus lives today
He walks with me and talks with me
Along life's narrow way
He lives (He lives), He lives (He lives), Salvation to impart
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart

In all the world around me I see His loving care
And though my heart grows weary I never will despair
I know that He is leading, through all the stormy blast
The day of His appearing will come at last

He lives (He lives), He lives (He lives), Christ Jesus lives today
He walks with me and talks with me
Along life's narrow way
He lives (He lives), He lives (He lives), Salvation to impart
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart

Rejoice, rejoice, O Christian Lift up your voice and sing
Eternal hallelujahs to Jesus Christ, the King
The Hope of all who seek Him, the Help of all who find
None other is so loving, so good and kind

He lives (He lives), He lives (He lives), Christ Jesus lives today
He walks with me and talks with me
Along life's narrow way
He lives (He lives), He lives (He lives), Salvation to impart
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart

Day 16 of A Song a Day (Keeps Coronavirus away)

Thank you Lord for loving me above all!

Above all powers
Above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began

Above all kingdoms
Above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth

Crucified
Laid behind the stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone

Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all

Above all powers
Above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began

Above all kingdoms
Above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth

Crucified
Laid behind the stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone

Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all

Crucified
Laid behind the stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone

Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all

Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all

Day 15 of a Song a Day (keeps Coronavirus away )

I don't know about you but I feel very thankful that in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, I am in a place to pray for others and not have succumbed to panic and anxiety. That is my way of saying thanks. Because someone prayed for me and had me on their mind, that is how I attained salvation, myself. That person is/was my deceased mother. 

How can I say thanks
For the things You have done for me?
Things so undeserved,
Yet You gave to prove Your love for me;
The voices of a million angels
Could not express my gratitude.
All that I am and ever hope to be,
I owe it all to Thee.

To God be the glory,
To God be the glory,
To God be the glory
For the things He has done.

With His blood He has saved me,
With His power He has raised me;
To God be the glory
For the things He has done.

Just let me live my life,
Let it pleasing, Lord to Thee,
And if I gain any praise,
Let it go to Calvary.

Day 14 of a Song a Day  (keeps Coronavirus away)

Because HE LIVES I have hope in the midst of what appears hopeless.

At one time in my life, I felt unwanted and heartbroken but then I met Jesus and I found out that He was thinking about me and caring for me even before I was born. So now I am confident that I am loved and wanted. If you would like to learn how to feel that way as well. Message Me via Facebook, Instagram or Twitter

God sent His Son
They called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal and forgive
He lived and died to buy my pardon
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives

Because He lives I can face tomorrow
Because He lives all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just because He lives

And then one day
I'll cross that river
I'll fight life's final war with pain
And then as death gives way to vict'ry
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know he lives

Because He lives I can face tomorrow
Because He lives all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just because He lives

Lyrics

Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son

Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son

And now let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us"

And now let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us"

Give thanks with a grateful heart (with a grateful heart)
Give thanks to the Holy One (to the Holy One)
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son

Give thanks with a grateful heart (with a grateful heart)
Give thanks to the Holy One (to the Holy One)
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son

And now let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us"

And now let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich (I am rich)
Because of what the Lord has done for us"

Give thanks
We give thanks to You

Day 12 of a Song a Day (Keeps Coronavirus Away)

I know we are supposed to love the Lord today and EVERY day, however, there just seems to be that one day from time to time when we just want to declare to God and everyone around. I LOVE YOU!  This song fits the bill. That day for me is usually Good Friday - Resurrection Sunday.

written by Edwin Hawkins I Love You (Lord Today)

Verse 1:
I love You, I love You,
I love You, Lord, today;
because You cared for me
in such a special way.

That's why I praise You,
I lift You up,
and I magnify Your name;
that's why my heart is filled with praise.

Verse 2:
My heart, my mind,
my soul belongs to You.
You paid the price for me
way back on Calvary.

That's why I praise You,
I lift You up,
and I magnify Your name;
that's why my heart is filled with praise.we

Day 11 of a Song a Day (keeps Coronavirus away)

The splendor of a King, clothed in majesty
Let all the Earth rejoice
All the Earth rejoice

He wraps himself in light
And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice
Trembles at His voice

How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God

Age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the end

The Godhead Three in One
Father Spirit Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb

How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God

Name above all names
Worthy of our praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God

You're the name above all names
You are worthy of our praise
And my heart will sing
How great is our God

How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God

How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God

The whole world sings, the whole world sings
How great is our God
How great is our God
How great, how great is our God
