Lyrics to "Lily of the Valleys"

Behold, you are beautiful

You are beautiful, my love; Behold, you are beautiful

And your eyes, they are like doves

But who am I, that you would love me

An ordinary lily of the valleys?

You raise a banner over me

Like the rising sun

Chorus

I belong to You

You belong to me

The lily of the valleys

The lily of the valleys

Under the sun

Behold, our house is filled with love

At the table where we feast

Sweetest of apples and raisins

Our joy is released

But who am I, that you would love me

An ordinary lily of the valleys?

You raise a banner over me

Like the rising sun

Chorus

I belong to You

You belong to me

The lily of the valleys

The lily of the valleys

Under the sun

Merry Christmas from Hidden Streams! Into the dark and miserable places comes the Lord of Hope, the God who brings laughter out of sorrow, hope out of depressions and contentment into our restless hearts. Chad's meditation on this Psalm is beautiful and compassionate. Wishing you all a blessed Christmas and the very best for you and your loved ones in 2025. Thank you for your support for this podcast. It takes a lot of work to put these together and we so appreciate your support in keeping this podcast going through all of the Psalms and now into Old Testament songs, and in the future, New Testament songs.

Lyrics to "Kiss Me" Song of Songs 1:1-15

I can hear You softly

Singing out my name

A Song of Songs

Like a burning flame

The world's greatest love song

That was ever penned

A Song of the ages (Songs)

And it will never end

Chorus

Kiss me with the kisses of your mouth

Better than wine

Your love is all mine

Kiss me with the kisses of your mouth

The sun burned my skin

Touch me and heal my sin

Deep within

Deep within

Draw me near

I'll come home to You

Across the desert sands

You carry me through

The heart of the Father

The wings of a dove

A Song of Songs or the voice of my Savior

Over the sea of love

Chorus

Kiss me with the kisses of your mouth

Better than wine

Your love is all mine

Kiss me with the kisses of your mouth

The sun has burned my skin

Touch me and heal my sin

Deep within

Deep within

Behold You are beautiful

We will always be together

The lover of my soul

Now and forever

This meditation is great for Advent, a season of waiting in expectation for all that is damaged and ruined to be made whole. Izzi Ray sings "Even In The Ruins".

Lyrics for "Even In The Ruins"

We wait for restoration

When you make all things new

A new earth and heaven

And we will be one with You

In love and redemption

Let the heavens be glad

In Your glorious perfection

Together we stand

Chorus:

Even in the ruins

Hope is emerging

Even in the ruins

Forgiveness occurring

So much decay, corruption

sin and destruction

But Your glory remains

Even in the ruins

Even in the ruins

You are here

And all nature groans together

As we wait for the dawn

When You gather Your children

And every tear is gone away

In love and redemption

Let the heavens be glad

In Your glorious perfection

Together we stand

Bridge:

Let the sea roar

Let the fields rejoice

Let the trees sing out

As we answer Your voice

In this celebratory passage we hear of some of the great attributes of God, our God, the God that loves us. Incredible and great encouragement for us all. Colin Heinrich sings "We sing Glory".

Lyrics to "We Song Glory"

From day to day,

From year to year,

We share good tidings among the nations

Sing to the Lord

through all the earth

Everyone proclaim your salvation

Splendor and majesty, Gladness and strength are in Your place

You came and dwelt among us

Covering Your people with Your grace

Chorus:

We sing glory

To the God of the ages

Glory

To the first and the last

We sing glory

For all your wondrous works

Tremble before him, all the earth

Tremble before him, all the earth

Verse 2

Not by riches, or worldly wisdom

politics, or false religion

There is no other, You are the One

Who made the earth and heavens

Splendor and majesty, Gladness and strength are in Your place

You came and dwelt among us

Covering Your people with Your grace

Chorus:

We sing glory

To the God of the ages

Glory

To the first and the last

We sing glory

For all your wondrous works

Tremble before him, all the earth

Tremble before him, all the earth

You are holy and should be feared

But You beckon us draw near

You are holy and should be feared

But You beckon us draw near

This is Caleb Keith, director of the 1517 Podcast Network. Today, as many of you may know, is Giving Tuesday. On this special day, I have a question for you: Does this podcast bring Jesus and His Gospel of peace into your life on a regular basis? At 1517, our mission—and the mission of the 1517 Podcast Network—is to declare and defend the Good News that we are forgiven and free through the death and resurrection of Christ alone. Because of Jesus, God has made peace with you and continues to actively give you His peace. You can give by visiting 1517.org or by following the link in the show notes.

Chad meditates on the salvation story found here in Chronicles 16. We are blessed beyond belief, for eternity. God brings everything together in His perfect time, and we can become dismayed when our timetables don't line up. Still He knows what is best and His mysterious ways bless us for eternity. Jeff Anderson sings "A Millionfold"

Lyrics to "A Millionfold"

You are faithful

For a thousand generations

To a covenant You made

With Abraham, Isaac and Jacob

Our inheritance was paid

With no strength in our hands

We travel a cross the sands

With Your protection

Wandering the desert

Our only hope is Your direction

A millionfold

A thousand times a thousand souls

Undeserving, here we stand

upon this land

Because of Your love

Because of Your faithful word

Oh Jesus

We give glory and thanks

Unto Your name forever

Unto Your name forever

You guard Your beloved

With Your outstretched arm

You say "Don't touch my anointed ones,

do my prophets no harm!"

In the lonely desert places

You multiply Your grace

And You feed us at Your banquet

Spread out a table in this place

A millionfold

A thousand times a thousand souls

Undeserving, upon this land

Here we stand

Because of Your love

Because of Your faithful word

As beloved children

We give You thanks

Unto Your name forever

Unto Your name forever

In this Thanksginving season, this song of David is truly appropriate. We can take no good thing for granted, but in everything give thanks to God. Chad gives a beautiful meditation on this passage, cautioning us from getting tied down with the cares of this world, when the true eternal riches are ours forever in Christ. Jeff Anderson sings "Tied Down".

Lyrics to "Tied Down"

When I was a child

I ran after things I cherished

Things I desired

Led to my soul despairing

When I was lost in my own little town

You sought me

You found me

You came to me, when I was tied down

Chorus:

I was tied down

By my own hands

Charms had their way

I was enslaved

I was tied down

You untangled me

To Your great name

Glory and honor Lord for eternity

To Your great name

Glory and honor Lord for eternity

Your yoke is easy your burden is light

You Opened my eyes then You gave me sight

When I was lost in my own little town

You sought me

You found me

You came to me, when I was tied down

And I will sing your praise

In my heart I'll give you thanks

In my heart I seek your presence

And I live in Your love and grace

Under Your mercy

Under Your mercy

A great recounting of the mercies of God throughout the journey on earth. Izzi Ray sings "Honor and Glory".

Lyrics to "Honor and Glory"

You turned the sea to dry land

So we could cross the river

delivered us by your hand

And we rejoiced together

So we give thanks through all the earth

For You alone command the waters

And You have heard my desperate prayers

For You alone save Your sons and daughters

Chorus:

Honor and glory

From every nation

Every generation

Is Yours O God

This day of blessing

Hearts now confessing

Your saving power and glorious work

Forever and ever, Amen.

You O God have tested us

You trapped us in your net

Laid heavy burdens on our backs

Let men trample on our heads

But then You brought us to your house

You refined us like silver

You brought us into freedom land

Through the fire and water

Bridge:

Your Cross covers the whole earth

And points to everyone everywhere

From one man

One crucifixion

One resurrection

One life for everyone
