Surrender

Here is another song lyric by Margaret Becker from her cd Air.  It is such a great reminder that we need to surrender to God!  The song lyric comes from: New Release Tuesday
Surrender
You and I have spoken all these words
Far as words go, there's no consolation
Forces come and press until it hurts
You just dig in and man your station
So why not try something old and new like

Surrender, surrender
Let it all fall where it must and just
Trust, trust
Surrender

You and I still believe because
We have seen our own transformation
We're old enough, we understand the crush
Is not for death but for destination
So why not try something old and new like

Surrender, surrender
Let it all fall where it must and just
Trust, trust
Surrender, be ground, be crumbled
Nothing grows on rock and steel
So let's just yield to surrender

Why not do something tried and true like

Surrender, surrender
Let it all fall where it must and just
Trust, trust
Surrender, be ground, be crumbled
Nothing grows on rock and steel
So let's just yield to surrender

All I Need Is Love

Hey guys!  I want to share this song lyric by Margaret Becker called "All I Need Is Love".  The lyric comes from website: New Release Tuesday . 

All I Need Is Love

I feel the pulse beneath my skin
Waking up to what's been missing
I complicate, I discipline
I make it hard, You keep insisting that

All I need is love, love, love, love
Love is all I really need
All I need is love, love, love, love
And You are love to me

I must be crazy, a pompous fool
Got nothing good enough for You
No shiny trinkets, no precious jewels
Nothing but the simple truth, that

All I need is love, love, love, love
Love is all I really need
All I need is love, love, love, love
And You are love to me

All I need is love, love, love, love
Love is all I really need
All I need is love, love, love, love
And You are love complete

Written by Margaret Becker and Kelly Minter

Coming Up For Air/Air Book and CD Review

 In 1995, Margaret Becker decided to disconnect from life in the form of a retreat at a Florida beach.  Her only promise that she made was to see the sun come up and go down.  During this process, with crayons, she made life plans on what she planned on doing in 1 year, 10 years, 20 years and 30 years time.  She learned some important life lessons during this retreat.  She learned to only embrace the truly important things in life and to cut out the things that were not truly important.  This was an enjoyable book to read and a must-read for those who feel like they are getting lost in the busy-ness of life and have forgotten who they are. Amazon.com has the book for just 1 cent used plus shipping!

 Margaret Becker also released a cd called Air which are songs that reflect the ideas that she wrote in her book Coming Up For Air.  I really love this cd!  It is full of great songs full of great lyrics!  There's not a bad song on the cd! My favorite songs are:

All I Need Is Love: We as people, including me, tend to over-complicate what being a Christian is all about.  It is so easy to get caught up in the rituals and rules of it all.  The truth of the matter is being a Christian isn't about following a set of rules or following a set of rituals.  It's about having a relationship with God through Jesus.  It's all about LOVE.  Loving God and Loving people.

Fly:  It's about letting go and trusting God.  Finding out when we do, we fly.

Just Isaac: Inspired by the story of Sarah and Abraham trying to rush the child of promise Isaac by having Abraham sleep with Hagar.  The song is saying we should desire "Just Isaac"---the promise of God and His faithful provision of that promise.  We shoudl wait on God's perfect timing of His promise instead of forcing the promise to come to pass.

Surrender: This ties with "All I Need Is Love" as being my all-time favorite song on the album.  It talks about how we like to fight the battle ourselves, and how we should try something "old and new" like surrender---surrender everything to God no matter where things may fall.

Cd Recommendation

courtesy of: New Release Tuesday

Margaret Becker is one of my favorite Contemporary Christian singers!  The majority of her albums were released in the '90s, including this one--- Soul.  Soul, which was released in 1993, is by far my favorite Margaret Becker cd of all time! What I really love about this cd is that: it's fun to listen to,  it's great Christian dance music, it get me in a worshipful mood, and it helps me keep my focus on Christ!

There's NOT a bad song on this album!  Some of my favorites are:

• Say The Name--- It's a great song for me to listen to when my soul is going through a desert experience or I feel my focus on Christ is "off". 
• The World I See In You--- A very fun song to sing along to! 
• All That I Am--- A great worship song that I enjoy singing to God!
• I Wouldn't Know---  It's scarey to think where I would be without Christ!  Like the song says, "I wouldn't know what love is without You, without You"---the You being Jesus!

Go by this cd---NOW! :)  You'll be glad that you did! You can find this cd at: Amazon.com

Say The Name

As a Christian these days, it can be so easy to let my focus on Christ get distracted.  So many things compete for my attention: household chores, my family, my goals, my entertainment, etc...On Sunday afternoon, I found that I felt out of focus.  Listening to this song by one of my favorite singers Margaret Becker caused me to refocus and think of only of Jesus---the only One that truly matters in this life.  Enjoy the lyric!

Say The Name
performed by Margaret Becker
From Cd: Soul
Lyrics courtesy: Margaret Becker's Website

A more sweeter sounding word
These lips have never said
A gentle name so beautiful
My heart cannot forget
Just a whisper is enough
To set my soul at ease
Just thinking of this Name
Brings my heart to peace

CHORUS
Say the Name
Say the Name that soothes the soul
The Name of gentle healing
And peace immutable
I'll say the Name that has heard my cry
Has seen my tears and wiped them dry
From now until the end of time
I'll say the Name

May I never grow so strong
That my heart cannot be moved
May I never grow so weak
That I fear to speak the truth
I will say this holy Name
No matter who agrees
For no other name on earth
Means so much to me

(repeat chorus)

With all the honor I can find
With all my heart, my soul, my mind
I will say the Name
Without defense, without shame
I will always speak the Name
Of Jesus

(repeat chorus)

From now until the end of time
Say the Name
