Kim Walker Chord Charts

Kim Walker has graciously added some of my fav songs chord charts on her website (please add more) ;). (Click Here). One that I sing all the time when I lead worship or at home is I Surrender. There is such a strong anointing and presence when you say to God, "I surrender."

I SURRENDER
By: Kim Walker and Justin Byrne

Verse:
C Gsus Am G
There is no love, sweeter than the love you pour on me
C Gsus Am G
There is no song, sweeter than the song you sing to me
C Gsus Am G
There is no place, that I would rather be
C Gsus Am G
Than here at your feet, laying down everything

Chorus:
Am Gsus
All to you, I surrender
C/E F
Everything, every part of me
Am Gsus
All to you, I surrender
C/E F (HOLD F BACK TO VERSE)
All of my dreams, all of me
Am G F F (REPEAT)
I surrender

Verse 2:
If worship’s like perfume, I’ll pour mine out on you
For there is none as deserving of my love like you
So take my hand and draw me into you
I want to be swept away, lost in love for you

Bridge:
F G
No turning back, I’ve made up my mind
F G C/E (REPEAT)
I’m giving all of my life this time

F G
Your love makes it worth it
F/A
Your love makes it worth it all

Your love makes it worth it all

Boldly before your throne

Set watchmen on the wall
And keep, Keep them now standing tall
Set me apart from this world

Shake the heavens Lord
With forty days of war
Break rebellion, send revival to America

Break Rebellion, Send Revival

Remembering

I was just remembering those days when my son was oh so tiny. It is amazing how something so tiny can grow up into the five year old he is today.

Older people, who's children have grown old, always remind me and other young parents, to cherish them when they are so small, but I have found wonder in each footstep they take. From the moment they are born, each day is a treasure within itself (and some days you just cannot wait to be over).

My daughter is two now, and I love this age. She started her terrible 2's when she was two weeks old, so I am used to any tantrums she could possibly throw, but her sweetness at this age is immeasurable. Lately she's been walking around the house saying, "I'm a princess," and I say back, "Yes you are." How sweet is that??

A Little More Hearing

So often I have heard someone preach or speak on the scripture Romans 10:17, "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God," but I want to take a moment to break this down a little more.

I remember watching a show on TV one time (a documentary type show) and there was this archeologist who loved Biblical archeology. The oddest thing was this man was an atheist. He didn't believe in God or that there even was one and yet he respected the Bible for its archeological accuracy. He read the Bible on a regular basis, studied it, analyzed it and yet he still didn't believe in God. How could this be if faith comes by hearing?

I had heard it preached a couple times to put the Bible on CD and listen to it all the time and your faith would grow. Read the Bible aloud, they would say, and your faith would grow, but yet this man was not the first person I had seen or heard of that read the Bible, heard the Bible, and yet still had no or little faith.

I'm sure I'm not the first person to notice this, but it irked me at the time. So, after meditating on this scripture and after some good teaching, I thought I'd explain it. It's been a few years since then, but I have a blog now, I can write about it. :)

"Faith comes by hearing..." Okay, so faith comes by hearing, but by hearing what, "and hearing by the word of God." Hearing comes by the word of God, but it doesn't say what I'm suppose to be hearing. It's not saying I am suppose to be hearing the word of God to have faith, but that hearing comes by the word of God. If you are confused, you are not alone. So what are we suppose to be hearing? We are suppose to be hearing the word of God!! The LIVING word of God. Jesus is the living word and revelation comes by the Spirit of God. Don't believe me, read John 1:1-5. When you are filled with God's Spirit, and you read the "written word" or logos, God speaks to you personally through the Spirit, or gives you a "rhema" word. So, faith comes by hearing... Hearing what? The living, breathing word of God from the Holy Spirit, and hearing comes by the word of God..., hearing the living word comes by reading the written word.

In order to do this you need to be born again, you need to be able to hear the Spirit of God within you.

If you need help on what to believe, this is a good site. Take some time to check out the weekly sermons too! If you have any questions, leave them in the comment section and I'll get to them later. Don't want my post to be too long ;).

He Who Has Ears

In Revelations chapter 2 & 3, the word of God says three times in each chapter, "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches" (NKJV) or a more clear version, "Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches"(NLT).

This is not just a word for the churches at the time, but a word for the churches of today. God's Spirit is constantly moving and speaking to the churches of each generation.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8) but that is speaking of his character, not necessarily the way he handles or deals with each situation. God will never lie, think adultery is okay, or condone sin no matter the circumstance, but just as with each new decade we hear new music coming out of the secular world, there is new music coming from heaven. We could never possibly know all there is to know about God, and just as the angels are constantly amazed by the new revelations they receive from God, so are we!

The question now is are your ears open? Can you hear what the Spirit is saying to the church? If you were unaware of it I'll let you know; the church is you if you are a believer in Christ. God is speaking to His church by His Spirit, but not everyone is hearing what He is saying. When the Spirit speaks, he will never contradict his word, he will never go against it, so keep your ears open and be a person with the ears to hear.

Wow! Forever!

It has been forever since I posted last on my blog, but no worries, I have finally figured out my life! Haha! No, not really. I mean, who could possibly have the time to figure out their life. Not me at least. Anywho, I will be up to par soon enough. Figuring life out and getting a more put together schedule. I will say that the more I am at school, the easier it is becoming to find time, because now I know how much time I need to work and study. Life is good, God is better!!!
