Imagine Me
by Kirk Franklin

Imagine me loving what I see when the mirror looks at me cause I,
I imagine me in a place, of no insecurities and
I'm finally happy cause I imagine me
Letting go of all of the ones who hurt me cause they never did deserve me,
can you imagine me saying no to thoughts that try to control me,
Remembering all you told me, Lord, can you imagine me?

Over what my momma said, and healed from what my daddy did and
I wanna live and not read that page again.

(Chorus)
Imagine me, being free, trusting you totally,
Finally I can imagine me
I admit it was hard to see you being in love with someone like me,
Finally I can imagine me.

Imagine me
Being strong and not letting people break me down,
You won't get that joy this time around.
Can you imagine me in a world,
In a world where nobody has to live afraid,
Because of your love, fear's gone away,
Can you imagine me.
Letting go of my past and glad I have another chance and
My heart will dance cause I don't have to read that page again.

Kirk talks:
This song is dedicated to people like me,
Those that struggle with insecurities, acceptance and even self esteem,
You never felt good enough, you never felt pretty enough
But imagine God whispering in your ear letting you know that
Everything that has happened is now...

Gone, gone, it's gone, all gone
Gone, gone, it's gone, all gone

this song has actualy lifted me up sevral times this week. god uese funny things...

All American Rejects - Move Along
Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking
When you fall everyone sins
Another day and you've had your fill of sinking
With the life held in your
Hands are shaking cold
These hands are meant to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
Move along

So a day when you've lost yourself completely
Could be a night when your life ends
Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving
All the pain held in your
Hands are shaking cold
Your hands are mine to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)

When everything is wrong we move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
When everything is wrong, we move along
Along, along, along

When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
[x3]

(Move along)
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
Right back what is wrong
We move along


The Real Me

(Natalie Grant)

Foolish heart looks like we're here again
Same old game of plastic smile
Don't let anybody in
Hiding my heartache, will this glass house break
How much will they take before I'm empty
Do I let it show, does anybody know?

Chorus:
But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me
Painted on, life is behind a mask
Self-inflicted circus clown
I'm tired of the song and dance
Living a charade, always on parade
What a mess I've made of my existence
But you love me even now
And still I see somehow
But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me
Wonderful, beautiful is what you see
When you look at me
You're turning the tattered fabric of my life into
A perfect tapestry
I just wanna be me
But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me
And you love me just as I am
Wonderful, beautiful is what you see
When you look at me

Kirk Franklin
Looking for You

I've been down so long
I've been hurt for so long
There were times I thought I'd never see the break of day
It was hard for me to see Your plan for me
And I tried to believe struggling won't last always
See night after night I prayed Lord
Don't take Your joy from me
And then late one night
I read in Your love letter that it's gonna get better

Don't You know that I've been looking for You
I realize nothing else will satisfy me
I'm so glad I found You
Now that I'm change no one can keep me away from you

When my enemies tried to come for me and they thought that my world was coming to an end
All that while You knew that I would make it through
I feel closer to You now than when I first began
Jesus you are, Your are my sunlight after the rain wherever You are I just wanna be near You
I'm so glad I can hear You

Don't You know that I've been looking for You
I realize nothing else will satisfy me
I'm so glad I found You
Now that I'm change no one can keep me away from you

just to take an aside. i know this is a long post but god is doing so many wounderful thngs. i doudted that this week. god did some stuff i just was overwhelmed. used me in ways that i thought were gone. so i reverted to my old self and beat my self up inside . i just am amazed at how god is blessing me casue i am broken and will and wanting to grow. i see ministry being abundent. i see honesty and talents being used for gods glory. sometimes i still fill useless but like i have heard so many thimes this week. i belive that is the depravity of my being a human. i am thankful to be used. to see brothers coming n to my life and seeing honesty and accountablity. also god is good. i am so excited about the ministry oppertonities. a couple of more songs i wnat to share

Natalie Grant
I Am Not Alone

You're Here
In My Heart
You're the Light
That Guides Me Through The Dark

You Walk Beside Me
The Night Seems Cold
Each Time I Fall
Your Arms Are There To Hold

Chorus:
You Walk Beside Me
Giving Strength I've Never Known
I Am Not Alone
You Walk Beside Me

You're Here
In My Mind
I talk To You
And All My Fears Unwind
I Know I'm Loved For who I am
You Make Me Wanna Be The Best I can

Repeat Chorus

And I rely on your patience
When I face the unknown
And because of you
I am not alone

In the sun, In the rain
Through the good times and the pain
I reach out for your hand
I know that you understand

David Crowder Band
Wholly Yours

I am full of earth
You are heaven's worth
I am stained with dirt
Prone to depravity
You are everything that is bright and clean
The antonym of me
You are divinity
What a certain sign of grace is this
From a broken earth
Flowers come up pushing through the dirt

You are holy, holy, holy
All heaven cries holy, holy God
You are holy, holy, holy
I wanna be holy like you are

You are everything that is bright and clean
And you're covering me with your majesty
And the truest sign of grace was this
From wounded hands redemption fell down
Liberating man

You are holy, holy, holy
All heaven cries holy, holy God
You are holy, holy, holy
I wanna be holy like you are

But the harder I try
The more clearly can I
Feel the depth of our fall
And the weight of it all
And so this might could be
The most impossible thing
Your grandness in me making me clean

Holy, Hallelujah
Holy, Holy, Hallelujah

You are holy, holy, holy
All heaven cries holy, holy God
You are holy, holy, holy
I wanna be holy, holy God

Here I am all of me
Finally, everything
Holy, holy, holy
I am wholly, wholly, wholly
I am wholly, wholly, wholly yours

I am wholly yours
I am full of earth and dirt and you

Here I am
Everything
