Here I am to Worship

by Chris Tomlin

Light of the world
You stepped down into darkness.
Opened my eyes, let me see.
Beauty that made this heart adore You
Hope of a life spent with You

Here I am to worship,
Here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
All together worthy,
All together wonderful to me

King of all days
oh, so highly exalted
Glorious in heaven above
Humbly You came
To the earth You created
All for love's sake became poor

Here I am to worship,
Here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
All together worthy,
All together wonderful to me

I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross
I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross
I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross
I'll never know how much it cost

Here I am to worship,
Here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
All together worthy,
All together wonderful to me

Here I am to worship,
Here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
All together worthy,
All together wonderful to me

I'll never know how much it cost
to see my sins upon that cross--

As a Christian, I am so thankful that Jesus paid it all! I will NEVER know the suffering and pain for my sins. Jesus paid for my every sin when He died on the cross.  It just amazes me that He loved me, a sinner, so much that he would take my pain and suffering so that I wouldn't have to.
It also amazes and humbles me that everytime the Father looks upon me, He sees His Son, Christ Jesus!

What we've been up too...

I have taken a little bloggy leave of absence but I think I am back now : )

We finished up for the school year.  I am hopefully going to get my review done this coming week.  Every year I say, this is the year that we are going to do some schooling this summer but that has yet to happen.  My kids of course are thrilled about this.  The only thing that we continue is Bible (because this is not really school) and reading. 

We also had VBS.  Our church has a fabulous VBS every year!  This year it was called Sea Quest and it was about Jonah.  While they were in their classes I helped out with sorting and distributing the crafts for the younger kids.  My kids wish every week was VBS week! 

We've had company!  For the last week we have been blessed with my mom, dad and sister in laws.  My children have so enjoyed being with there grandpeeps!  They live in NC and we haven't seen them in a LOOOONGGG time.  Way too long!  We had a full house, but it was a huge blessing to have them here.  I am trying to come up with a plan to get them to move back to MD.  (Hey Mom if you are reading this, hint hint!)
The LSG house has celebrated 3 birthdays in the last month.  Yes, 3!  Little Bits, AlphaBoy and I all turned a year older.  We always let the kids choose the theme of their party, which has gotten simpler over the years.  The boys had KungFu Panda and Cars birthdays and I got a surprise party at Chevy's (my favorite Mexican restaurant)!  They even made me wear a ridiculous sombrero! 

This week we start swim lessons, another thing that my kids really look forward to! Along with our pool membership, the kids get 2 weeks of swim lessons and they L O V E it!  They are taught mostly be older teens from the swim team and they make it lots of fun for the little ones. 

So as you can see we've been pretty busy.

Happy Independence Day!

I hope that everyone has a wonderful and safe 4th of July!  Today we plan on relaxing as a family and then enjoying the fireworks this evening at a local pond. 

My kids are so excited about getting to watch fireworks and about wearing red, white and blue.  The girls already have their outfits picked out, of course : ) 

Today I want to remind my children what the 4th of July is really about, our independence as a nation.  I want to remind them to thank the Lord for our freedom and for the men and women that fought for us to have it. 




Happy Independence Day!

Lord, I Lift Your Name on High

by Donnie McClurkin

Chorus:
Lord I lift your name on high
Lord I love to sing your praises
I'm so glad you are in my life
I'm so glad you came to save us.

You came from heaven to earth, to show the way
From the earth to the cross, my debt to pay
From the cross to the grave, from the grave to the sky
Lord I lift your name on high.

Chorus.

You came from heaven to earth, to show the way
From the earth to the cross, my debt to pay
From the cross to the grave, from the grave to the sky
Lord I lift your name on high.

You came from heaven to earth, to show the way
From the earth to the cross, my debt to pay
From the cross to the grave, from the grave to the sky
Lord I lift your name on high.

Chorus.

You came from heaven to earth, to show the way
From the earth to the cross, my debt to pay
From the cross to the grave, from the grave to the sky
Lord I lift your name on high

Lord I lift your name on high
Lord I lift your name on high
Lord I lift your name on high
Lord I lift your name on high
Lord I lift your name on high.



This is a beautiful song.  You can listen to it here.
