Life Songs

Pastor Brent is preaching from "Mary's Song" in Luke 1:46-55. Our lives are like a song. Though our lives are not set to a musical score, the content of the way we live sings a song.

What is your favorite Christian Music about how our life is like a song?
Add a "comment" and let us know.

Maybe it's a hymn like "Song of the Soul Set Free"

Or maybe it's Contemporary Christian like
"Favorite Song of All" by Phillips Craig and Dean
or
"LifeSong" by Casting Crowns

Mine is from Christian hip-hop artist "Group 1 Crew" (a musical group my sister signed). Their song is "Song to Sing (Everybody's Gotta). The words are exceptional.

  1. My Ringtone is set to "Everybody's Gotta Song to Sing" by Group 1 Crew. Here are the great lyrics:

    [Chorus:]
    Everybody's gotta song to sing
    So won't you come now and sing with me
    It doesn't really matter where you're from or what you've done
    Everybody's gotta story to tell
    Times we've tried and times we failed
    So when you feel like hope is gone keep holding on
    This is your song

    I've seen days when my life seemed hard and absurd
    All of my words died cause they never were heard, like they
    Left my mouth then fell to the curb
    Got trampled by life and every lesson I've learned
    Why do good people leave this earth before their time
    It hurts to see death get the best of us first
    Yet I know a times comin' when I
    Will feel the breeze in my eyes
    Dry my tears and fade away in the sky
    I see the day my family believes God
    And puts away the facade
    Of being ok when I know they're not
    But I know You're gonna take what I write
    Bring this story to life for Your people tonight

    Yo everybody has a story
    And it needs to be heard
    So let it play and resonate
    From the hood to the burbs
    Whether your sky is grey
    And you, been through it all
    There's somebody on this earth
    That is singing the same song.
    Some one across the Pacific
    Is stressed from hard labor,
    Searching desperately
    Cause he's in need of Savior,
    Barely ever home
    Ignores his kids for the paper
    And you'll never know
    This same tune's being sung by your neighbor
    See age doesn't matter
    When life wants to fail you
    When your color don't determine
    Whether you're destined for failure
    We all run to the sun
    And hide from the rainy weather
    But we make beautiful music
    When we all unite together and...

    I know it's been hard
    To make it this far
    But God knows your heart
    And every need

  3. I agree... Great lyrics, Pastor!
    My song would probably be "Love Lifted Me" for I was sinking deep in sin far from the peaceful shore. Very deeply stained within, sinking to rise no more. Then the Master of the sea heard my despairing cry...from the water lifted me and SAFE AM I!!!!!!

  4. I love the song "Sweet sweet Sound" by Sara Reeves. "This is the song of my life- let it be a sweet, sweet sound. Let it be a sweet sweet sound. I raise this anthem high. Let it be a sweet, sweet sound. Let it be a sweet sweet sound. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!"

    The Bible passage that is the song of my life is Ps. 63:1-4
    "O God, you are my God,
    earnestly I seek you;
    my soul thirsts for you,
    my body longs for you,
    in a dry and weary land
    where there is no water.

    I have seen you in the sanctuary
    and beheld your power and your glory.
    Because your love is better than life,
    my lips will glorify you.
    I will praise you as long as i live,
    and in your name I will lift up my hands."
