Psalm 46\nGOD IS OUR REFUGE \nGod is our refuge and strength, \nA very present help in trouble. \nTherefore we will not fear, \nEven though the earth be removed, \nAnd the muntain be carried into the midst of the sea; \nThough its waters roar and be troubled, \nThough the mountains shake with its swelling. \n\nThere is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, \nThe holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. \nGod is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; \nGod will help her, just at the break of dawn. \nThe nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; \nHe uttered His voice, the earth melted. \n\nThe lord of hosts is with us; \nThe god of Jacob is our refuge. \n\nCome, behold the works of the Lord, \nWho has made desolations in the earth. \nHe makes wars cease to the end of the earth; \nHe breaks the bow and cuts the spears in two; \nHe burns the chariots in the fire. \n\nBE STILL, AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD; \nI WILL BE EXALTED AMONG THE NATIONS, \nI WILLBE EXALTED IN THE EARTH! \n\nThe Lord of hosts is with us; \nThe God of Jacob is our refuge

"Faithfully" by Journey.  \n\nMy husband used this song to propose to me, slightly changing the lyrics and playing it on the piano while he sang. Now, whenever I hear it, it brings tears of joy to my eyes because of that special day.

My favorite Alabama song is "Angels Among Us" it's a great song. I sang it in my aunt's wedding. It's such a touching song to me. Also "Roll On". \n\nI guess I just love Alabama in general. :)

read Psalms Chapter 9. (incidentally, it is somewhat difficult to understand your detailed info. It is nice, but deep...perhaps too much for my feeble mind.)

I find A Psalm of Life to be an extremely  powerful poem. There are many\nof us on this earth that do not understand that the soul is realy them\nand not their body. We are all a part of a larger creative intelligence.\nOur souls are what connects us to this divine, creative intelligence.\nEach of us comes with a purpose to fulfill and expand that creative\ninteligence on the physical plain. As children we are more connected to\nour sould purpose. However as we grow older we allow the "inculturation"\nof our society to move us away form our souls purpose and more toward\nour physical self. Yet our ony purpose is to create a world that is so\npure that that soul can manifest itself without the illusion of our\nphysical form.  The soul never dies.\n\nWe must all remember tis truth -\n    "Dust thou art, to dust returnest,\n     Was not spoken of the soul."\n\n\nWhen he writes that the soul is dead that slumbers, he means that if your soul is dormant or asleep it may as well be dead because you're not using it,\nWhen great men leave footprints in the sands of time, he means that they leave footprints in the sand that stand the test of time, they are remembered - they make a difference!\nCattle are the conformists - they do not think for themselves, society thinks for them, and they are all the same.\n\nThis is a very inspirational poem. The concept of living only in the present is a very difficult thing for me, as the regrets of the past and hopes of the future can be very troublesome and misleading at times. This brings out feelings of...almost like confidence. Strength and belief in oneself. The thought he expresses in this, one how to live through each day, is one I firmly sympathize with and believe in.\nThe meaning of this is very clear. Just live. Don't be hindered by the fear of oncoming, certain death, or whatever mistakes you may've made before, live by the second and only plan ahead that far. The is no concrete point in life, nothing is sure and steady, so don't live like it is going to be that way.\nThis has a very punctual, powerful rhythm. It works great for this, as the theme and message of it is a very strong, very passionate one. The wording, flow, everything in this goes perfectly hand in hand. I don't think it could've been written any better.\nThis is an excellent write, one I'm also going to save. I find it to be very uplifting, very inspirational.

1. I'm not going to e-mail you! Just give me my ten points, mate!\n\n2. Here is an old hymn with a similar beginnining.\n\n"Dear Shepherd of Thy People, Hear"\nWords: John Newton, Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779). \nMusic: "Somerset," William Henry Hewlett (1837-1940) \n\nDear Shepherd of Thy people, hear;\nThy presence now display;\nAs Thou hast given a place for prayer,\nSo give us hearts to pray.\n\nO Lord, our languid souls inspire,\nFor here, we trust, thou art!\nSend down a coal of heav'nly fire,\nTo warm each waiting heart.\n\nShow us some token of Thy love,\nOur fainting hope to raise;\nAnd pour Thy blessings from above,\nThat we may render praise.\n\nWithin these walls let holy peace\nAnd love and concord dwell;\nHere give the troubled conscience ease,\nThe wounded spirit heal.\n\nThe feeling heart, the melting eye,\nThe humble mind bestow;\nAnd shine upon us from on high,\nTo make our graces grow!\n\nMay we in faith receive Thy Word,\nIn faith present our prayers;\nAnd, in the presence of our Lord,\nUnbosom all our cares.\n\nAnd may the Gospel's joyful sound\nEnforced by mighty grace,\nAwaken many sinners round,\nTo come and fill the place.\nhttp://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/d/e/dearshep.htm\nhttp://www.blueletterbible.org/hymns/htm_d_e_dearshep.html\n\n 3. All it took was a simple internet search using part of your own question (details below).

This is the fourteenth of the so-called Pilgrim Songs, or Songs of Ascents. The superscription attributes the Psalm to David, but that superscription was omitted by the RSV, perhaps indicating some reluctance on the part of translators to accept David's authorship. A tiny thing such as this points to the weakness of that version. \n\nAs for the occasion, there are several guesses; but the most reasonable one, to us, is that of Matthew Henry. "Some conjecture that David penned this psalm upon the occasion of the union of all the Twelve Tribes when they met unanimously to make him king.\n(Psalms 133:1). To us it appears as ridiculous that some interpreters have tried to find in this a Biblical injunction recommending that married brothers live in the same dwelling with their parents. From the beginning, God has ordained that a man should leave his father and his mother and cleave unto his wife (Genesis 2:24). Mixing multiple families under one roof is an impossible social device. What is referred to here is a covenant nation of `brothers' worshipping together in Jerusalem\nIn Lev. 8, are recorded God's instructions to Moses for the anointing of Aaron the High Priest, who, by virtue of his office, is an Old Testament type of the Lord Jesus Christ.Significantly, the anointing oil was poured upon the head of Aaron; and all of the scholarly disagreement about whether it ran down to his collar or the hem of his skirt is pointless. In all probability it ran all the way to the floor! Just try pouring even a small cup of oil on anyone's head! There was an exceedingly important reason for this most generous pouring of oil on Aaron's head. It symbolized in the Great Anti-Type the unlimited reception of the Holy Spirit by our Lord upon the occasion of his baptism. \n (Psalms 133:3). Just as the blessings of God in the Old Dispensation were promised only to those who worshipped God in that city, the same truth prevails today in the fact that God's promises are limited to those in one place. Where is that? An apostle has made it clear enough. \n  (1) This is a figure of speech, meaning that very plentiful dew will fall upon Jerusalem, meaning that very plentiful dew will fall upon Jerusalem.         \n  (2) The cold breezes from Hermon actually produce heavy dew in Jerusalem. \n  (3) the dew of Hermon is used in the same sense that Isaiah used the word dew in that prophecy (Isaiah 26:19) as a symbol of the resurrection and immortality.

I love "The Greatest Command" it's a beautiful accapella 4 part harmony round.\n\nAlto comes in first and sings "Love one another, for love is of God. He who loves is born of God and knows God.  He who does not love, does not know God. For God is love, God is love, God is love.\n\n2nd time: tenor joins in and sings: " God is love"  over and over.\n\n3rd time:bass sings a line that begins: "Love bears all things"  but I can't remember the rest\n\n4th time: sopranoes come in and sing: "Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, all thy mind.  Love the Lord thy God with thy heart for God is love, God is love, God is love.\n\nThen the finale:  all the parts sing through one time.  It is absolutely AMAZING! Songs like these are what make me partial to acappella worship songs.  I don't need instruments when there are songs like these.
